[Erik Windsea]

Erik Windsea Basic Information Race: Svefra Birthday & Age: Season of Summer, Day 34, A.V. 492 (19 years old) Gender: Male Languages: Fratava (Fluent), Common (Basic) Physical Description Erik weighs around 150 pounds and stands somewhere between 6’2” and 6’3”. He enjoys a lightly tanned skin from being in the sun all day of every day and has light blonde hair. Like most Svefra he has light blue eyes and has a tattoo of his Tavan, a seagull, that runs along the inside of his forearm. Character Concept Erik tends to wander off and spend his days alone, which is uncommon for a Svefra. He does enjoy the company of others and will go out of his way to do things with them, he just finds it easier to float away with much care to anything else. Usually laidback and mellow, some might even refer to him as “lazy” though Erik would never admit to passing off work. Erik never seems to drop his laidback, carefree personality, though when angered he often slips up, making mistakes and taking the most direct, rash solutions to the problem. Character History Erik grew up on a large ship with his family, he was the kind of child that would rather hide in the deck or out in the water rather than help with the ship and daily chores. When something fun was going on Erik was usually the first one to appear on deck, ready to go with whatever it was. As he grew older he learned to fight and how to use a cutlass, the favored weapon of his family and the Svefra. Growing up wasn’t exactly all that hard for him either, the only thing that defined him any different from his brothers and sisters was that he learned how to do things faster then anyone else and had a tendency to disappear when things got boring. Eventually Erik’s carefree lifestyle would change up dramatically. His Lia had decided that there was only one way that he was going to learn how to take care of himself and not rely on others for everything. Another pod that was relatively close by was sending one of their own off on her own, Erik was dropped on the smallest casinor they had and sent off after her. Unfortunately his Lia’s plan was a bit rushed and not really well thought out. Erik now sails with his new friend Cassidy and is having the time of his life. While he is learning a bit what it’s like to have to do work on his own and how to not rely on others, Erik is spending more time goofing off then actually learning. He usually ignores people and puts off work, the only person who he tends to listen to is Cassidy, even then it could take him anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours to get something done.

One day when he was supposed to be out with the rest of his brothers fishing for food Erik had skipped out and fell asleep in a hammock. Seeing that Erik was missing from the group his Lia went searching the boat for him, when she finally found him, below the deck and asleep in a hammock she also found a seagull sitting in the hammock with him. After waking the two up the bird went to Erik’s defense and chased his Lia outside of the hull to the deck. From that day on the bird was never far from his side, assisting him in finding the best place to lay about and avoid work.
