History

  • History & Personality

    Risa'ad was orphaned at a young age, and bought off at fourteen to serve on a ship. It took him years to rise the ranks and eventually best the captain to take the title for himself. He grew up with most of the crew, and most of his life has been on the ship or on the coastline. He has plenty of stories to share for the right occasions, but most of the crew had been there for it, or it'd been shared to the younger ones already.

    When Risa'ad needs more crew members, he does as the captain before him did, and adopts them from orphanages, but no younger than 14, and they are well protected, only there to help clan while the older ones are promoted to more risky jobs.

    Risa'ad is not one to take a partner, more so getting his thrill in taverns when the ship is docked for the evening, but has a strict rule of not sleeping with anyone on the ship. (That OOC we can talking about making him break if the love interest steals his heart away)

    Spoilers to the RP

    Risa'ad and the crew are pirates. The contracts that they receive are stolen, and while they tend to follow most of them through for the coin, they use the spare information to gather secrets from other countries to build up their own reputation over time. Anyone that stays on the ship for any reason won't immediately guess it, however based on the contracts, a character may figure it out after a few weeks.

    The crew was treated much more darkly when he was younger, and he and the older sailors have deep seeded trauma from that. He's tried to improve conditions, but within him and others there's still darkness to deal with and he's always just on the edge of going either way.

  • Extra info

    Risa'ad is one of my morally darker characters and therefore his morals are not so sublime in the beginning. He's not inherently evil, razing and pillaging villages, but there isn't a lot he won't do to get ahead. We can lean into this, or push him towards the light, but do be warned that's how he starts.
