Name: Captain Long John Silver, he wishes to one day become an Admiral, n' he'll shanghai any fool that gets in his way!
Gender: He has a set o' dangly bits n' he's very proud o' it!
Description: He is a very tall, brawny, and imposing man. He wears a ridiculously fluffy tricorne hat and a patched-together, poorly sown rag coat with polished brass buttons that might've been an Admiral's coat at one point in its past. He has an eyepatch, a peg leg, a hook for a hand, and many nasty scars he claims were the work of the Naval scum and that one damned saltwater carp in the Shattered Isles.
He is missing most, if not all of his teeth, and instead has a mouth full of wooden teeth, animal teeth, and a few silver and gold capped teeth. He insists that his dental hygiene is impeccable, but the constant stream of miasma emanating from his mouth tells otherwise. He has an extremely long, and greasy unkempt beard, and he gets his name from the fact that it's colored silver.
He has a broken compass that he claims was blessed by a Saint to always point to peace and contentment, he makes a point of traveling the opposite direction whenever possible. He has an unquenchable thirst for gold and silver, and deeply enjoys killing people and stripping their corpses of anything remotely valuable. He also enjoys sailing the seven seas, drinking, fine wine, if possible, and defeating the Navy in any way at all, however petty.
Reason for Piracy: Captain Long John Silver was once a humble lazy bum, and one day, he decided to become the richest man in the world. It turns out, he was a terrible gambler and after he didn't pay back eight too many loans, he was press ganged into service on a Naval ship! A few years, (and appendages) later, he decided he'd be better off making a fortune as a Pirate instead.
Background: Long John Silver led a good amount of the ship's crew in a mutiny, and took control of the ship, christening it Long John Silver's Ship and became Captain. He was ship Captain for a few years (and was a pretty mediocre Pirate overall to be honest,) when the Navy attacked, destroyed his ship, and killed his crew. Luckily, he managed to escape on a bit of driftwood and ended up in the Island where a group of Pirates just so happened to be looking for a crew. He insists that everyone refer to him as Captain Long John Silver, because once a Captain, always a Captain.
