Stikka al’Tyne Race: Human Age: 21 (Born 64 Day of Summer, 488) Gender: Male Height: 6’ 1” Weight: 194 Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Grey Skintone: lightly tanned Languages: Common, Appearance: At around average height for a human, Stikka doesn’t stand out in a crowd. His body tends to be wiry, as an active lifestyle prevents much fat from taking hold. Despite this somewhat gangly appearance, Stikka does have quite a bit of strength to put behind his muscles. Stikka wears his black hair long, and usually keeps it up in a ponytail to prevent it from falling in his face. His eyes are a extremely light shade of grey which coupled with their slight almond cast often give the impression that Stikka is looking into you, past all your deceptions. Stikka’s narrow, strongly defined face, combined with the piercing quality of his eyes give him a very strict appearance. The fact that he rarely smiles enforces this impression on most people he deals with. Skin that was once pale has been permanently tanned by long hours working the decks of ships. This nautical background has also given a slight sway to Stikka’s land bound movements as his body naturally compensates for a rolling deck that isn’t there. Clothing: Stikka covers his legs with black cotton pants that fit snuggly. Over top of those, he pulls a pair of soft leather thigh high red boots that fade to white at the top. He wears a coat with a similar red and white fading pattern as well. Over this he clasps a short red cloak that falls to his waist. Black gloves cover his forearms to the elbow, over which he fastens vambraces that have been lacquered red with gold trim. A pair of black and gold leather belts crossing over his coat complete the ensemble Character Concept Goals and Dreams: Stikka hopes one day to own and captain a pirate vessel Personality: While not necessarily an unhappy person, Stikka has trouble expressing his emotions to others. As a result, people tend to think Stikka is taciturn and serious all the time. Growing up within a pirate crew left Stikka with very little opportunity for emotional growth. He finds he can express himself far more easily through the music from his flute. Amongst the constant violence that is pirate life, Stikka quickly grew abhorrent to the constant and pointless slaughter of the crews victims. Stikka feels that violence can and should be largely avoided and generally avoids and escapes rather than fight, even when he has a clear disadvantage. He really doesn’t mind that some people find him cowardly because of this. Stikka’s anger burns bright and long once ignited, and he has been known to go to highly destructive lengths to alleviate his rage. Because of this, he tries to keep his temper on a short leash, lest it flare up at an inopportune time. Ethics: Stikka abhors violence, especially taking life. While he will beat someone bloody if he feels they truly deserve it, Stikka has never killed anyone. In fact, he has been known to prevent his allies from finishing off the enemy as well. Perhaps because of an unremembered childhood experience, Stiika finds slavery, especially child slavery, vile. He will not stand by and allow it to go on within his knowledge. On the other hand, as an outlaw and pirate, stealing doesn’t faze Stikka at all, and he firmly believes that if you cannot hold on to your own possessions than you have no right to them.
