Sunlight on the Waves (Wave)

Wave was born into aristocracy in The Sunlit Ocean clan. the clan originates from a chain of islands that rarely receive rain. the island inhabitants are also highly prosperous, hence the Sunlit part of the name. however, not every inhabitant knows that the adventurers/fighters of the clans actually receive the money by pirating and plundering places for riches. his name comes from not only his clan, but his unusual appearance. Wave's father, Golden Shores, is a completely golden Tabaxi, a rarity that rewarded him with aristocracy and plenty of space to make an infamous name of himself due to his skill. Wave's mother, Light Before the Storm, is a greyish-blue toned Tabaxi. achieving a mix like Wave is even rarer than a golden Tabaxi due to golden/blue tortoishell males being difficult to breed, so Wave is treated like a prodigy and good omen for most of his life.

Golden allowed Wave to train with his crew on their ship, The Golden Tail, from the young age of seven. Wave picked up their nack for learning quickly, becoming a fierce fighter and acquiring a thick charm from the people he encountered on the mainland. they'd charmed many, taking every opportunity to steal, con, and eventually bed when they grew of age. usually it was transactional, though sometimes it was because they were genuinely attracted to them.

Wave became the co-captain of The Golden Tail, a ship infamous for it's highly skilled and deadly members. he honed his skill with rapiers and scimitars, allowing for deadly combat with a finesse and martial-type weapon. he became quick on his feet and highly perceptive of any incoming enemies. his fights are usually fast, ending with his opponent dead and barely a nick on him. only a few people, all dead, can claim the couple of miniscule scars that appear on his upper arm/back.

one fateful night, the crew were on the mainland drinking a bar dry. Wave was enjoying himself with his admirers and crew until a group of muscled men came in and sat down at the bar next to him. he drummed up casual conversation, though he carefully watched since they were gruff and suspicious. suddenly, someone attempted to stab him and he deflected, starting a deadly bar fight. after downing several men, a large man came up behind him and smashed a chair over Wave's head, registering him unconscious. The men loaded him into a ship and sailed off.

Several days later, Wave came to in the hull and realized they were chained up. they used their claws to unlock the chains and snuck up behind a guard to gain some speculation. they picked up that the Fishermen of the North, a group of bounty hunters who used swords and fishing gear (mainly harpoons and hooks) as their weapons, were their kidnappers and they were being sold into slavery. they managed to escape after killing the guard, looting the body, and jumping out through a window in the hull. they swam to the nearby shore and charmed the townspeople into giving them information. turns out, they were over five oceans away from their home. they were determined to get back home so they could plunder and adventure again.

Through his new campaign, his character arc is defined by returning home, learning new things, and learning how to open up to others without manipulation and charm. he wants to learn how to make real friends. he also wants A LOT of loot to return with. finally, revenge on the Fishermen of the North is a bonus.
