Full Name: Edmund Percy
Pirate Name: Edmund Blackadder
Age: 20
Gender: Male

Pirate Name Explanation:

One night while Edmund was getting drunk with a bunch of his fellow pirate mates at a tavern in Port Royale, a sailor from one of the slave transport ships walked in carrying a large basket. He explained that inside the basket was a large African Puff Adder - one of the fastest and most venomous snakes in the world - which he and his crew had brought back along with the new slave shipment from Africa. Soon, a curious crowd gathered around to get a look inside the large basket which held the dangerous snake who’s bite could kill a man in less than two minutes. As they gawked at the black serpent, one of his mates bet Edmund one gold Doubloon that he couldn’t grab the snake by the neck.

Edmund, never one to turn down a bet no matter how outlandish or dangerous, took the wager. After quickly downing a tankard of ale, Edmund Percy bravely reached in and grabbed the deadly snake just behind the neck successfully capturing it, thus winning the bet. A victorious Edmund raised the venomous snake in the air for all to see. Fueled by adrenaline and the cheers of the crowd - not to mention the strong ale, Edmund proceeded to bite off the Puff Adder’s head, much to the shock of the already amazed crowd. From that night on, Edmund Percy became known as Edmund Blackadder or simply, The Blackadder.

.__[size=1]Appearance[/size]__.

Overall Appearance:

Edmund Blackadder stands two inches over six feet and weighs a sturdy 215 pounds. He has blondish brown hair which can be found in a variety of styles ranging from shoulder length to completely shaved. He possesses copper-tinged hazel eyes which give him an illusory placid countenance. It’s as if Edmund’s eyes are constantly saying, “I’m waiting for you to impress me,” or alternatively, “I fucking own your ass,” to anyone around him. His unflinching mien is anchored by a rock solid jaw line which underlines a vibrant “eat shit” smile. Despite originally being from England, Blackadder’s skin tone is fairly tan from recent years spent sailing under the Caribbean sun.

Aside from the various minor cut marks scattered over his knuckles and elbows, Edmund Blackadder has no major scars to speak of. While many individuals proudly carry their battle scars as a testament to their toughness, Edmund prides himself on the number of scars he doesn’t have. You see, Edmund prefers inflicting scars on others rather than receiving them. Though, you don’t often hear of many people boasting about the scars they’ve received in altercations with Blackadder, as it’s hard to show them off when you’re dead.

One physical imperfection of note, would have to be Edmund’s “third” nipple. Yes, Blackadder has three nipples. Actually, the third nipple is just a mole located about half an inch medial to his right nipple. It’s not huge, but just sizable enough to give the appearances of an extra nipple at first glance. Edmund isn’t bothered by it as much as he used to be when growing up. It always makes for a funny conversation item as it never fails to draw curious stares. On his left upper arm is an intricate tattoo of a beautiful mermaid holding a dagger. Underneath it are the words, “Neptune’s Scourge” - the name of the first pirate ship Edmund served on. Tattooed on his right upper back is a black Puff Adder baring its fangs, coiled and ready to strike.

Edmund’s wardrobe ranges from rebel crew to smart casual depending on the occasion. Not that clothes or style are of much importance to this pirate. They are necessary, nonetheless, for blending in with civilians while in port - the good looking ones, anyway. The only piece of jewelry of note in Edmund’s possession is his jewel-encrusted gold bracelet plundered off a Spanish galleon years ago. Despite the rumors of it being cursed, Edmund thinks it actually brings him good luck. He likes the way it sparkles and seems to glow even in low light.

Effects:

His only weapons are his twin daggers. He doesn’t carry a gun because one, his aim is horrible. Secondly, Edmund Blackadder prefers knife fighting. There’s just something incredibly satisfying about getting in close to your opponents and shanking them while looking into their eyes.

.__[size=1]Personality[/size]__.

Personality:

Self-confident, cocky and oftentimes brash, Edmund Blackadder always carries himself with a certain Devil-May-Care swagger. Outgoing and excitable, this mercenary pirate has served as a crew member on a number of infamous pirate ships in the Caribbean. Edmund is a fierce fighter who is driven toward success in everything he does, often adding a unique flair and certain panache all his own. Despite seemingly being full of himself at times, Blackadder is never arrogant. His self-assuredness - being rooted in a firm belief in his abilities, capacities and past successes - manifests itself in an unsuppressed cocky attitude and wicked sense of humor.

Though over-the-top at times, none of Edmund’s humor is ever meant in a mean-spirited manner. Despite this, he’s not afraid to crack on someone or laugh at another’s expense. It doesn’t matter if you are black, white, red, yellow, orange, ugly, good-looking, straight, gay, handicapped or his own mother, this crafty knave is still going to bust on you the same way he would a good friend. He spares no one from his fiendish wit. He does what he does and seeks no one’s approval. Gamesmanship is Blackadder’s calling card. If he can elicit shock from the more squeamish of observers, so much the better. He has no time for the meek, emotionally unstable or the humor-impaired. If you can’t take a joke - too bad, so sad. Oddly enough, Edmund seems to admire and respect anyone who can beat him at his own game. With few insecurities, Edmund never feels the need to bully others in order to feel better about himself.

Edmund Blackadder always lives life with a flourish which makes even the most routine events seem exciting. He also has a knack for knowing where the action is. When Edmund is present, things begin to happen - the lights come on, music plays, the game begins. Being a man of action, life is never dull around the devilish rogue. He has a penchant for trouble and loves a good fight. Edmund is attracted to activities that involve danger, risk and thrill. Being spontaneous and unpredictable, Edmund is able to improvise on the fly and often acts on impulse. It’s very hard to tell what Blackadder is thinking sometimes and you definitely don’t want to look away when this unpredictable, spontaneous risk-taker is around. Edmund’s nose for adventure often leads him into trouble, yet somehow, he always seems to be able to get out of a pickle leading many observers to dub him extremely lucky or even charmed.

.__[size=1]History[/size]__.

Personal History:
Edmund Percy was born in Portsmouth, England, the son of Thomas and Eleanor Percy. Edmund had a normal and unremarkable childhood, staying out of trouble and doing well in school for the most part. At the age of sixteen, he joined the British navy with the promise of adventure on the high seas. He was excited when he was selected for duty aboard the H.M.S. Endeavor. However, things didn’t exactly turn out as glamorously as he had hoped, for Edmund was assigned to the galleys where he slaved feverishly all day below deck preparing and cooking meals for the sailors, then cleaning up afterwards. He was miserable in his toils. Fed up with his lame existence as a ship’s cook, Edmund decided that next time they were in port, he would jump ship and seek out fortune and adventure elsewhere.

That opportunity came when H.M.S. Endeavor docked in Port Royale to re-supply its provisions. Edmund was given the task of going into the town market to buy some new cooking pots. Instead of carrying out his orders, however, he took the money he was given for the purchases and never returned to the boat. He hid out until the ship left. By the time they realized he was missing, it was too late. Now he was just another sailor that went AWOL. With the money, Edmund bought himself civilian clothes and went about looking for work. It was slim pickings, since he didn’t have much experience outside of being a cook in the navy and none of the town’s inns or taverns were hiring.

Knowing that Edmund was looking for any kind of work, an innkeeper referred him to a friend who had a friend who knew of a pirate captain named Argus who was looking for some new crew replacements for his ship, “Neptune’s Scourge” which was currently moored in a hidden cove in Tortuga. Wasting no time, Edmund made his way to Tortuga and met with Captain Argus, who was himself desperate for men. Edmund was taken on as a crew member of Neptune’s Scourge where he was trained in all the basics of piracy - sailing, fighting and drinking. After just a few short years, Edmund had earned himself a fearsome reputation as a swashbuckling pillager and was being groomed as the next captain of Neptune’s Scourge as Captain Argus was close to having collected enough plunder to retire in style.

Unfortunately, the day Captain Argus was to retire and pass on the reigns of Neptune’s Scourge to his best pirate, Edmund, the ship and its crew came under surprise attack just off the coast of Tortuga by British warships. It took three of the British navy’s best ships in a pitched sea battle to finally defeat Neptune’s Scourge and her faithful crew. She was sunk in that epic fight, but not before taking two of the English fighting vessels and hundreds of British limeys along with it. Edmund was one of the few lucky ones to have escaped. Now without a ship, Edmund currently just freelances on various pirate ships looking for loot and adventure.

Family:
Father: Thomas Percy
Mother: Eleanor Percy
Siblings: None

Love Lust Interests on TTC: Maybe… Depends on if there are any women here that think they might be able to handle the crafty rogue. *shifty eyes*

.__[size=1]Conclusion[/size]__.

Any extra information we need to know about?

Uncomplicated in his desires, Edmund Blackadder appreciates beauty and likes the women. But make no mistake, this mischievous knave is no gentleman. Just know that Edmund is no counterfeit when it comes to being cocky and funny when playing the flirting game and isn’t afraid of busting on a beautiful female - in a fun playful way, of course.

RP example:

“So does that line work on all the women you use it on?” Cyra asked the handsome rogue playfully.

“No. It doesn’t work on all the women I use it on, just the good-looking ones,” replied Edmond with a waggish grin causing her to blush and let out an amused giggle.

Having left the crowded tavern, Edmund Blackadder and his female companion, Cyra, made their way along the cobbled street toward the inn which was just down the way and around the corner. The temperature tonight in Port Royale was comfortably cool and breezy and the open air was extremely refreshing after having just been in the smoky and raucous pub with all its loud music and the smelly drunkards. As the two of them continued to walk, Edmund’s senses gradually readjusted to the less frantic sights, sounds and smells of the town’s streets. Then from behind them came a series of catcalls and whistles directed at the couple.

whistles

“Hey, beautiful! Looking’ HOT tonight!” a male voice called out.

snickers

“Yeah baby! Why don’t you dump that donkey’s ass and come hang out with us! We’ll show you a good time, honey!” came the voice of another male.

“Yeah, dump the donkey’s ass, Sugarcane. We’ll show you a reeeally good time,” yelled yet another male.

more snickering

Edmund turned to face a group of three local yokels who appeared to be in their late 30’s to mid 40’s and were obviously drunk. He figured he could take on all three of the grizzled men even without having to use any elaborate moves. Edmund had fought many men who were much bigger, faster, stronger and meaner than what these three chuckle-heads appeared to be. As satisfying as it would be to throttle these goons, they didn’t truly pose much of a challenge to the battle-hardened warrior.

Besides, Edmond Blackadder wasn’t in the mood for fighting tonight. Instead he replied, “Sorry, fella’s. I’m already taken tonight.” Edmund then put a muscular arm around Cyra’s shoulder and pointed to her by tilting his head toward her while looking at the three men. “I’m really flattered though, maybe some other night… and she’s not a donkey’s ass, by the way.”

The three drunk men just stared at each other with confused looks on their faces unsure of what to do or say. With his arm still around her shoulder, Edmund turned to Cyra and teased her mockingly, “Donkey butt” Cyra just pouted and stuck her tongue out at him as the two of them continued down the street and around the corner to the inn.
