Hank Scurvy

Past
Hank Scurvy. Former privateer of Nedien, and captain of the Maelstrom Pirates. Hank was born on a undesignated port within the northern-side of Rathnir. Hank was wandering around the western side of the port when he saw something glowing within the water. As he climbed down the sharp rocks from the dock he could see that it had the shape of what seemed to be a cube. He jumped into the water swimming to the cube and as he reached for the cube it began to glow and soon dematerialize into his body, he didn't understand what it was until months later. Hank had a strange ability to control the weather, though he had no idea how to control it and constantly got himself into dire situations, so he usually reframed from using it. From what it seemed, it had limited use before its power would drain out.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, his family went into deep finacial struggles due to the unreasonable tax increases the founder was creating at the port, therefore his father Marcus Scurvy, tried finding ways to make money, soon becoming captain of the "Jewel Stone Pirates". One of the most notorious crews in all of Rathnir.

Hank looked up to his father, he considered him as a king of the sea and wanted to be just like him. He found it amazing to travel the mysteries of the water, while collecting doubloons in the process. Although aware of the dangers of the seas, he considered the riches and fame to be worth it. His mother Elizabeth Scurvy, discouraged it however. She considered it was unsafe to let an actual child commit crimes of piracy. She wouldn't want her own son to be involved in such activities, after all he could possibly be killed at sea or worse. She was always the cautious tyoe and was mostly reasonable when it came to Hank's safety. It wasn't soon before Hank agreed and obey'd his mother, deciding not to follow that ambition. Year's later they found out a Nation from Syltor succesfully captured hanks father, and he was sentenced to death. Hank and his mother we're devastated after hearing the news, few months later his mother came down with a incurable illness, dying in her sleep.

Debut Years
Years had gone by since then, when Hank reached the age of 20 he decided to form his own crew and sail the seas hoping to carry on his fathers legacy. His abilities to practically create storms was enough to quickly make the man notorious to the world. Soon though he was surrounded by a fleet of naval war ships owned by the same kingdom that executed his father. Hank knew there was no where to run and was aware that his crew would not be able to handle the amount of warships surrounding them. He used all of what energy he had left to create a massive tsunami. What he didn't realize is he couldn't change the direction of the wave. Although it sunk the warships, it sunk his ship as well killing his entire crew in the process. Soon he woke up on a port of a town called Silkov, where a man named "Larlan" found him on the beachside and took him in.

When asking hank of what happened, he couldn't remember. He seemed to have gained amnesia from the blow that massive wave gave him. Which also appeared to be all the energy that was left within that strange cube. Larlan gave him shelter and soon introduced him to the man who was in control of the town under the name of "Goldy".

Goldy was unsure of having a pirate within his town, so he sent him out to prove his worth by taking down a Sea beast known as "Makauo"

Battle of the legendary Makauo
Hank was given a simple Caravel and supplies for the journey. Afters weeks and months of sailing he saw something within the rough seas, It had a sail of a sea serpent, It growled as if a Dog was fighting over a helping of meat on the ground, and it seemed to be the size of a galleon. Soon It lunged out and attacked Hanks boat, sinking it deep into the depths of the ocean.

Hank was in the water trying to understand what was going on, once he came back to his sensesn he grabbed the nearest weapon he could see in the foggy water. He grabbed a scimitar and began to swim upwards, but as he looked down he saw the beast begin to swim towards him at high speeds. He was filled with dread, he felt like this was the end. He thought "Theres no way out of this." Then out of sheer panic Hank swung the blade. The blade struck the beast directly in its head, slicing it open and killing it. Hank soon swam up to the surface to take a deep breath. Hank was processing what just happened, he's never even killed a whale. Yet he defeated a mythical monster of the seas within Rathnir. He Began to cough out the salty sea water he choked on while under the waters of the sea, until he realized something. He saw the beast sinking to the depths of Rathnir and Hank knew he couldn't leave empty handed, so he begun to swim back down to retrive anything he could from the beast.

Months later he returned to Silkov and handed Goldy the eye of the beast, to show that he was victorious. Goldy out of pure shock, could only utter the words. "Impressive." Then as hank was leaving Goldy's office, he took one last glance at the ever dreadful eye. Then something came to his mind.

The Amnesia.
Hank began to take a closer look at the eye, something about it was... Familliar. Goldy was confused and ask Hank if he was okay, only for him to be shushed by Hank. Hank took another step, as he walked towards that eye he sliced off the beasts sockets. It began to come back, a fragment of his lost memory. "There's a lad" Hank muttered." "He seems to be holding a trident in his hand." "Has a clean cut of a beard..." Hank begun to fall into a deep state of confusion as he muttered. "The mans name, what was it?... What was this swabbie's name!" "Theres a jolly roger behind the lad, the skull on it and... Plunder for eyes?"

Hank couldn't understand what he was looking at, or more thinking at. Soon though, he realized who that man was.

"That man..." Hank begun to speak once more "I recognize that lad, we shared a spot on the port together..." Goldy began to give Hank a confused look as if he was insane. "What do you mean?" Goldy asks out of concern, but Hank doesn't seem to be able to hear him. Soon hank mutters one more time... "Old man, is that you?" Then all fades to black.

The founding of Alalea.
Hank and his new crew have begun to work on a civilization known as Alalea, a pirate/bandit friendly port.
