At one point during the first couple days of our journey, you notice the captain exit his quarters with a handful of senior officers. He appears to be smirking and moderately amused. When the crowd clears, you all see standing behind him a 5' tall, silver eyed, silver haired, ebony skinned Drow male. He is absolutely majestic looking, although when making direct eye contact, it becomes clear that there is a distinct air of sadness in his eyes. His hair is lustrous and wavy and nestled under a beautifully designed feather cap. He's wearing a navy blue puffy shirt with wide lapels. The shirt is wide open at the v-neck exposing his hairless, chiseled chest. He has matching pantaloons. His boots are finely crafted black leather and he has a matching belt and vest draped over the shirt. The vest appears supportive enough to aid in battle. He has silver cufflinks that match his eyes and a silver pin shaped like a tidal wave affixed to his lapel. He has a rapier on his hip and a light crossbow across his back. He steps around the captain and addresses the crew.
"Forgive my initial deception my new friends, but it was necessary to gain passage aboard this fine vessel." With that comment, he tips his hat to the captain. "Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Chase Stillwater. As Midshipman, I will be fair and honest, but firm on ship rules. As an adventurer, I represent the eternal flame of the immortal spirit. I understand that some of you may be uneasy with someone of my...genetic composition...but rest assured, I'm here to help. I am attuned to the weather patterns of this world and can weave my magic to help us on our journey, wherever it may take us. Our enemies will quake with fear in our presence and they will know the fury of the sea. If ever you feel down and out, be certain that Tfop will guide us to victory. He has guided me out of isolation and slavery and will surely be there to aid us here on the open seas. I look forward to our journey together."
With that, he bows and hands the floor back to the captain.
