Ketrus/Jarech
WORK IN PROGRESS!
Description
"Honest Pirating is just like any other Honest living. Do what you say, say what you mean, and mean what's right! Death to the bloated rich! Wealth for the righteous poor!"
This man is the reason the term 'barrel-chested' was invented. Broad-shouldered and bulky, he is imposing in the brawniest of ways, but also fairly well-groomed. His long, wild black hair has been tied back into a ponytail that reaches just below his shoulders, and his face is surprisingly clean for someone who smells so completely of the water and grime of Nexus's rivers. If the man hunched, he'd still be a titan, but his posture is perfect and his words, though boisterous and coarse, are well-measured and enunciated. He is crude, but not barbaric, rough, but not offensive.
Jarech is a captain of pirates. A leader, a speaker, and a warrior, he wants to punish those 'Realm sons'f'bitches', using the River Provence as his weapon. He will stop at nothing to assure that those who do not ally with him are conquered by him, but he is patient enough to take his time in making it happen. First, he knows he'll have to learn charms to aid his more diplomatic efforts, and earn allies to aid his militaristic ones. As much of a megalomaniac as he might be, he doesn't think he can conquer Nexus, Lookshy, or any town for that matter with just his ship and his crew. No, there'll be hard work and hard times before the end, but hard work and hard times are what he's all about.

Intimacies: His Ship
- The River Dragon is a pirate vessel, no doubt about that, but it's registered as a 'private commercial transport' and looks the part. Thanks to some maneuvering and a little intimidation with one of the clerks in Nexus's Nighthammer district, he's got right to set anchor in town any time he likes. The River Dragon is built for speed and durability, a river boat meant to catch riverboats. His primary strategy is to pull alongside a merchant vessel and storm it with his crew--there's very little subtlety in his tactics.
His Crew
- I'd like to say they're gentle giants with hearts of gold, but the truth is they spend more time fighting, drinking, and whoring than any other men this side of the Blessed Isle. They're sons of bitches of the first order, but they know their place and their purpose. They obey their Captain with a surprising discipline for men so disgusting, and they can the their jobs done.

Jade Hearthstone Bracers (-1 speed, +3 dodge, 8 attune)
- Well, at least he didn't let his crew rape 'er. When some surly bitch of an Outcaste tried to cut his head off with that flimsy sword of hers, he beat the stuffing out of her, grabbed her by the throat, and punched her through her own mast. What was left, he threw to a river dragon, before noticing she had jade on her wrists. Whore. Jumping after her corpse, he then proceeded to beat the river dragon to death to claim these bracers. If he had known she called these 'oversized' bracers "Glorious Dragon Bangles", he might've hit her once more on principle. He just refers to them as "Mine, goddamnit"
