Name: Miss Roxas Oberon
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Allegiance: Pirate
Occupation: A fresh off the mold pirate, she fears she has no other choice but to join a pirate crew. Roxas' father has recently become sick with the disease that claimed her mother's life, and is not well enough to run their blacksmithing business. Because she does not know enough about blacksmithing to continue his craft (as an Italian artist, his customers call from far and wide for his designs, and she could not perform up to his standards), she sees this as her only resort when it comes to getting money in order to help her father. Like Will Turner (for example), she dedicated much of her day to practicing with her father's swords, and has become an excellent fighter, so she should come in handy during raids on a pirate ship.
Weapon of Choice: Anything sharp or remotely shaped like a sword, really. Most likey the sword and rapier her father gave her, or the two daggers concealed in her shirt.
Home Town/Island: Italy, originally. Came to the British Isles with her father for his blacksmithing business. Mother passed away when Roxas was 14 from influenza.
Ship: Erm, she'd like to join the crew of the Black Pearl, but she herself does not own a ship. Her father does, but she has no clue how to work it on her own, although she possesses some know-how of how a ship works.
Appearance: Fairly tall for her age, 5'8" with layered and slanted black hair. The sides have two distinct caramel highlights on each side. The front sides come to her chin and the back is just below her shoulders. She has almond shaped eyes and olive skin, due to her Italian heritage. Her body is neither heavy or skinny, but athletic and powerful, well muscled. Her hands, unlike the rest of her body, are delicate and careful. Her eyes are a beautiful blend of colors, hazel, blue and green all at the same time. She has a kind smile and sparkling irises.
Personality: Roxas very outgoing and doesn't really care what other people think about her. Clever and a little egotistical at time, her driving determination is her key quality in her endeavor to become a pirate. She's quick to judge people and sticks to her descisions, so it's wise to watch how you act when you first meet her. If she likes you she's incredibly loyal and would jump a bullet for you, but if she dislikes you she will go out of her way to make your life miserable. Carefree and fearless, it's just nature to feel happy and at ease around Roxas. Once she proves that there's nothing to life, most can't help but relax and live in the moment. Her most admirable quality is the fact that she isn't afraid of anything. Many wagers have been made over a cold ale concerning her fears, and she has won every single one of them. Death is merely the end of life, and can even be temporary, so why be afraid? If you get on her bad side, she's incredibly nasty, and shameless when it comes to tearing you apart. Ye be warned. =D
History: As mentioned above, when she was a little girl, she lived with her parents and her twin brother Benjamin. When she was seven, she lost her brother to influenza, and a few years later she lost her mother too. Since then, she and her father have created a very tight knit bond and depend upon each other highly. Growing up in Italy as a blacksmith's daughter has taught her well about the lessons of life. She's a tough girl and can take care of herself, though she usually ends up being the guardian. When her father fell ill, Roxas vowed that she would go to the ends of the earth to make him well again, or at least to keep his shops up and running. This is why she's out on a mision to gain money and power.
Other: She's very adaptable to most situations, but has a bit of an attitude problem that can sometimes blow her cover. She's ruthless, and if your bond isn't close with her, she'll turn on you. Her a very soft spot concerning her father and deceased twin brother.
Roleplay Sample:
Roxas ran a hand through her usually-silky ebony hair. After stowing away on a pirate ship, it was caked with grease and grime. She had annally picked her fingernails clean and even attempted to wash as much as she could with the deck-swabbing water in the hold she stayed in. The one person who knew of her existance down there, one of her father's customers, brought her food when she was hungry and checked on her every once in awhile. Luckily the voyage was not that long, and she had managed to land on Tortuga.
"This place is absolutely appalling." she muttered to herself, stepping to the side as a drunken line of misfits came shambling through, breaking into song. "Completely disgust-"
"Whassa pretty li'l thing loike you not doing in a place like that?!"
A filthy, torn-at-the-seams scalawag had just swaggered over, spilling rum all over himself and Roxas. He grabbed her by the shoulder and leered, revealing two missing front teeth. His breath reeked of rum, and his face was dark with dirt. Hot-tempered in her response as usual, Roxas ripped one of the daggers from under her blouse and shoved it under the man's Adam's Apple before he even had time to swalow the mouthful of alcohol. She pressed the blade of the weapon firmly against his jugular.
"Don't touch me. Don't speak to me. Don't breathe on me. I'm looking for the Black Pearl. Help me find it and I'll let you live."
The man's eyes grew wide, sliding in and out of focus, and he dropped to the ground. Whether it was out of drunkenness or fright, Roxas didn't know, but it didn't help her get any closer to her goal. With a roll of her brilliant green eyes and a sigh of disdain, she sheathed the dagger and stepped over his crumpled form.
"Bloddy pigs the lot of them. I'll be one soon."
