Tafari

Barbary Corsair

From the port of Blighty, in the Olde World, comes tales of a savage out-lander turned privateer. Once a mercenary thug this Barbary giant was given a ship & letters of marque by a noble house, making him the aristocracy's beast. As far as Guildereim the blood red sails of the Maelstrom are known to bode ill for those ships marked by the crown. Those captured can expect to be put to use until handed over to the gallows. For all his fearsome reputation, those who sail with the Captain call him 'Father' and look to each other as family. When pirates seek your heads and nobles move you as pawns it's only your family that you can trust. Woe to any who'd wish harm on this crew.

D'Eath's Beast isn't known for his mercy.

Seeking

I'm always looking for RP. Anything from just a casual slice-of-life scene to adventure or even the saucier bits. If there's a story then I'm all in. Feel free to message me with any ideas you might happen to have or just hit me with a post. If you'd like to play but are stuck on ideas then here's a few hooks down below that I'll happily play. Cheers!

Fresh Blood: The Maelstrom is taking on crew and you're ready to sign on to the next voyage. You'll need to speak to the Captain of course but it's not just signing your mark to a paper. Just how does he expect you to prove yourself?

Reel Time: With death an all too real possibility the crew of the Maelstrom likes to live it up in port. Drinks, food, music, dancing and everything else you need for a party. While the crew might be a tight knit bunch they seldom turn down another reveler, especially if you've brought something for entertainment.

Davy Back: Most ports prohibit open warfare in their streets, it's messy. Yet there's still rivals and foes Tafari would love to crush. The answer of course is to compete in something else, just to show who's the best. It could be anything from drinking to daredevil acts with each sailor's pride on the line.

Facts Dislikes
  • He not only plays the mandolin but crafted his own 8-stringed instrument after many, many trials.
  • He refers to his crew as his family, treating them accordingly and expecting them to treat one another as kin.
  • The Maelstrom is a 40-gun fully rigged frigate armed and crewed to protect House d'Eath, and Blighty's, interests on the open seas.
  • Because he's always been larger than most, Tafari has a habit of handling small objects and people like they were porcelain.
  • Cruelty for its own sake.
  • Feral parrots and most other non-sentient birds.
  • Aristocrats & Monarchies in general.

Hail to the King

He might work like a Captain but Tafari plays like a Pirate. He could be looking to blow off a little steam in port or pursuing that elusive one and only. That presents its own set of challenges though, not the least of which is the size of the cat. Though he can mean well and try to be gentle, those bunking with the Captain are likely in for a rough time.

To the right are some preference sliders. They're not absolutes, or a checklist. Just something to glance at and maybe save a few awkward questions. Want to throw something into an RP without asking? Now you can! Do be aware that not everything under the sun is listed, a few things are left out on purpose. If you have an idea that's not there, feel free to ask.

What would a brute like this be looking for? Well he does rate around a 2 on the Kinsey Scale. What he really wants in a word is the Experience. Someone who can carry a conversation, have a good time, & flirt will tend to catch his eye. Clever or skilled folk also make for interesting partners. He decidedly like the games that lead up to the deed. Once the spark is struck you can expect his attention will be as relentless as the tide.
