Malus

[Malus Tidalwave]

Malus Tidalwave Appearance Race: Svefra Gender: Male Age: 25 Birthday: Fall 487 Birthplace: Anchorage Flotilla Appearance: Tanned Skin and braided golden hair, Malus stands tall at just about six feet in height. His deep blue eyes are bordered by braided locks of hair, decorated by shells and sea glass. He has a lean face, tanned and slightly weathered by all the years behind the mast. His left eyebrow is pierced, as well as his left ear and right nostril and a small goatee and some facial hair over his upper lip adorn his face, slightly twisted by his ever present smile. Growing up on a ship for almost his entire life, Malus has earned a lean and agile body; his physique being toned by years of working the sails. His upper left arm, from shoulder to elbow is an elaborate tattoo of rolling seas and crashing waves that at times seems to come alive. Often wearing nothing but a loose pair of pants and his sandals, Malus has a few rings on his hands; nothing of real value. On his belt hangs a wineskin which he keeps filled at all times, preferring rich red liquid that always helps to make his life interesting, a cutlass of medium length and a long knife, sheathed on his back. Strapped to his chest, hanging from his back is an old guitar, an heirloom from his grandfather, who he had been named after. Character Concept The Middle Child of three, Malus takes the old saying “Don’t take Life too seriously” to heart. Light hearted, fun loving and care free, he rarely seems to take anything seriously. With his wineskin in one hand, and his grandfather’s guitar in the other, Malus prefers the easy life over that of hard work. The only thing he ever does seem to care about is his ship, and sailing. He is never as happy as when he is at the helm, sails filled with the wind and the sea rolling underneath. Always one to try to find the easiest way to accomplish something, Malus prefers talking his way out of whatever sticky situation he managed to get himself into over fighting; that is not to say that he isn't any good with a cutlass, he just rather not have to use it, after all, where is the fun in that? Character History Born into Pod Tidalwave, Malus has spent the first years of his life out over open water, only ever going on land whenever his pod camped out on the beaches. Growing up, Malus would often be found up in the rigging, climbing the masts, or hanging on the sails. Even during the storms when the other children would be below decks, Malus often found a way back on the main deck, and would ride out the storm, Wind blowing fiercely against as the sea pitched below him. Having lived on board a ship, and the occasional beach Malus developed a real love of the freedom that the Svefran lifestyle afforded them; never understanding why anyone would cage themselves in walls or the restrictions of city life. His experience with cities is small; the pod only really docking at ports to take on supplies and the occasional traveler. What experience he does have is limited to the docks area, and more often then not as a young child being chased through the markets. As he got older, his pranks and mischief did become more subtle, however He some how always ended up being chased by some one, to the point were the pods Lia Almost restricted him from ever leaving the ships. With the Djed Storm of 512, much of the pod was destroyed. The survivors sailed further into the Suvan, into waters familiar to them to regroup and rebuild. Malus meanwhile, along with his brothers and a few others decided to go off and find adventure, and see what trouble they can cause.
