Vex "Not a Pirate" Dreadful
PROFILE
Vex is the nihilistic captian of The Sea Rovers Ship. The crew doesn't do much other than attack foreign ships and drink. They travel around the oceans surrounding the Oblivion but they always return to Badwater City, their place of birth and the only settlement they have sworn loyalty to.
"I scorn to do anyone a mischief, when it is not for my advantage." - Charles Bellamy

Expressions, Behaviors & Mannerisms
Usually slurs his words appears to be drunk all the time (regardless if he has had alcohol). He is apathetic about most situations, the only time he sobers up and is attentive is when they are at war or under attack.
Attitude & Ideals
He doesn't really care for much in the world other than his ship and crewmates. As a captian he must be firm with his crew but he still cares for them, after all, they are the ones that help keep the ship sailing smoothly. Also you know, he did kill their first captian lol.
"ah fuck, i can't beleive you done this"
Childhood
Vex was born in Badwater City. His father was a drunk sailor that was swallowed by the sea, and his mother a prostitute that met her end by the hands of an aggressive customer. He had to fend for himself and shortly after his mothers death he joined a crew at the age of 12.
Adulthood
He worked hard on his ship and became a respected man amongst his new family. He even scored him self a gorgeous woman, Helena. She was his love, his life, she shined brighter than the morning sun. He didn't know how he would ever live without her. Unfortunately, she becomes cursed with Pseudogem, a very rare case for humans, it's absolutely unheard of and left the human doctors stumped how a human could become infected with and Ancient disease. Her condition worsened every day and eventually killed her.
Now
After the death of Helena he wasn't him self anymore. He returned to his ship with a dark cloud over his head. He convinced the crew to turn on their captian and he replaced him. He lead the crew through many wars against any other ship that dared to challange him.
Future
Eventually his hate will lead to his doom, but we will worry about that when the time comes.

- Waywardism: The belief that The Ring, a floating light hovering over the ocean, is the controller of nature. Thus, humans have no control over their actions, and have no control over the sea. Most who practice religion don't celebrate holidays, nor pray, instead they work hard to keep themselves alive, but do not fear death. The only time one may celebrate is after a good night’s work. [from the groups website]
- ambidextrous because I cant bother to be consistent
- He keeps a bunch of weapons (other than his sword and pistol) concealed under his body. How does he not hurt himself when he sits down?
- Acts drunk even when sober, that way he doesn't have to take responsibility of his actions.
