Biography
Alfarin grew up with his mother on a market ship. She raised him alone, though her crewmates didn’t NOT help. She was a beautiful, nurturing mother, but much of her time was devoted to trading. He would travel with her during trading season and spend time with his grandparents during raiding season. He always envied the men that got to go out and raid, even more because his father was not Korthai and they had no clue where he was. His mother encouraged his rebellious, nature-loving self and was immensely fond of her son. They were two peas in a pod, them against the world. Until she got sick. He was about fifteen at the time and she passed shortly after his sixteenth birthday. He matured quickly after this, but with time has found that she is with him at sea and that has helped him relax and become more in tune with himself.
Personality
Alfarin values balance between work & play, and places his faith in the stars, his gut, and the sea. He is accountable; there is nothing worse than a liar trying to avoid trouble because, why avoid trouble? He is rebellious in this way and finds it amusing to taunt those who enforce the rules. He loves swimming and will hop in any chance he gets. He is adaptable & enjoys change. He can be harsh if someone wrongs him or someone he cares about and it isn’t uncommon for him to take it too far. He is familiar with the stars & uses them to navigate and finds solace in them in his darkest moments. He is honest no matter the situation; he sees lying as a waste of time. He is a hard-worker & is always looking for ways to improve his life balance daily (optimistic). Alfarin is intelligent, and a bit eccentric. He can get caught up in something and become a little obsessive as well, though he would call it passionate. He loves all living things and gets along well with any and all animals (unless they’re, say, trying to kill him of course). He matured quickly due to the loss of his mother as a teen, but his inner child has resurfaced as he has gotten older and more comfortable in his skin. He is extremely observant and can often be found sitting off by himself and taking a scene in. These observation skills have made him resourceful and he will often get himself out of any situation he’d rather not be in. He is a bit messy, but in his own organized way so he rarely loses things. He can be vulgar, but he is a raider, isn’t he? Being raised by his mother & her crewmates gave him a bit of a filthy mouth.
Physical Description
Alfarin stands about 6’0 tall & has broad shoulders and quite the muscular back. His muscle is spread evenly around his body due to swimming & tasks around his ship, which keeps him looking lean. He has a mild cockney-like accent & a deep, smooth voice.
Abilities & Skills
Physical Abilities
Alfarin is most talented with blades; swords, axes, machetes, knives, he loves them all. He prefers a hands-on fight over one where you may cower in the distance.
He can climb easily & quickly, his long, muscular arms giving him the strength and agility to sail over or onto his opponents if he so chooses.
He can hold his breath for an absurd amount of time & can hold up his end in a fight even if it is taken beneath the water.
Mundane Skills
Alfarin is an excellent cook, his mother taught him well. He loves spices and seasoning and makes the best shrimp known to Korthai. He prefers eating bottom-dwellers, like crabs and lobsters, or small sea-creatures, like shrimp, so he doesn’t make too much of a dent in the food chain. He avoids eating land-animals, he finds it more difficult to kill something that he could build a connection with. He sets traps and goes scouting the sea-floor if he isn’t in need of a ton of food.
Alfarin is also naturally nurturing. Though he can be harsh and vulgar, he will go out of his way to help a wounded animal or take in someone who is in need. He makes lots of friends this way, with animals and many races, and therefore feels at home just about wherever he ends up, though nothing comforts him quite like the ocean.
He is knowledgeable in navigation using maps, and he can take a ship out by himself if he must. He learns quickly and is capable beyond even what he believes.
Magic Skills
Though he is not very skilled in magic currently, he has begun to understand that he can use the ocean to help him. No developed skills yet, but will be added as he begins to understand the magic of the sea.
He has a bit of an understanding of the witches he and his mother used to visit who sold ailments and potions, and it always interested him. He may begin developing his knowledge in this area as well.
Equipment
Weapons
He wears a belt that holds his curved sword & his battle axe. A sheath is hidden in his boot, where he keeps a small knife. He wears brass knuckles as well.
Armor
Alfarin wears calf-length black pants that are loose and breathable until they cuff at his calf. He wears black boots to meet the pants, though he tends to lose his shoes whenever he gets the chance. Typically, he wears no top and adorns only his leather armor that covers his shoulders, chest, and upper arms. Some days he’ll wear a loose white blouse that cuffs at his wrists.
Tools
Alfarin keeps these items in a locally bought back-pack; a conch shell he gave his mother (he listens to it on hard days), a knife with a large blade (used for defense & shucking), various nuts (for protein), a clean change of clothes (god knows he’ll need them), rope, & whatever book or map he is reading/studying at the time.
Goals
Alfarin wants to become an extremely successful raider. He wants to use his money to spread love and companionship through giving to the needy in any way he sees fit. He would love to have a bit of a zoo by the time he gets old, he enjoys the company of plenty of animals. Most of all, Alfarin wants to be a father. He never got to experience the relationship between father and son, and he hopes he will have the opportunity to love his own spawn one day. His harsh side wishes to bring hell to those who have harmed him or those he loves, so we’ll have to see which side of him makes it.
