Name – Arthur Westoland Age – 32 Gender – Male Alignment – Lawful Neutral Social Class – Noble Occupation – Owner of a small merchant group and Full-time Gentleman Race – Human Weapons – None, although he does have a silver dining set near him at all times, and that does include a cheese knife which is quite sharp, and a teapot which is a little heavy. Physical Appearance Arthur stands at five foot ten tall, with reasonably short dirty blonde hair which is usually combed neatly, although he is not obsessive with keeping it so and as such it most often appears fashinably scruffy to a slight extent. His eyebrows are a slightly darker shade and are reasonably thick, although not to the point to be ridiculous, and they sit a short distance above his green eyes, and a similar distance above a pair of spectacles with a thin black frame, rectangular in shape and almost always seen sitting stylishly on the end of his smallish nose, with the arms joining his hair neatly behind his ears. He is almost always clean shaven, and unless he has chosen to grow a thin moustache he considers not being clean shaven to be an insult to others. Whilst no physically strong, he is in good shape, although the definition on his muscles are noticeable they are not pronounced, he could not be called muscled, wiry, fat or physically weak… He is just average, someone who keeps in good shape but little more. His skin in slightly tanned on his face, hands and neck although he is slightly pale anywhere else due to his tendency to keep covered up “As a gentleman should”. As a man of class and style(…) he naturally has a few choices of costumes. Some of the most prominent follow these styles: -Everyday/ formal Formal shoes and trousers in brown or black, with a shirt which is almost always white, a tie which could be any colour (but only one!) and a blazer in brown or black. If he really wants to be fancy, as in really, really fancy, it may be pinstripe. He sometimes wears a waistcoat instead/ in addition of the blazer, which will always be black at the front, on the back will be silk and in a colour matching his tie. His waistcoat will be done up at all times, although the blazer may or may not. -Everyday/ sailing When out on the seas with one of his ships he will usually swap his shoes for something more durable and his trousers for something a very skinny pair of denim trousers for reasons he has not adequately explained. These trousers will be in impeccable condition. With this he wears a shirt, which may not always be tucked in, and sometimes a tie which may be loose. -Piracy When engaging in a not above board activity when sailing he will wear an old pair of the denim trousers, usually with a couple of holes at the knees. He will wear a looser belt, often with an elaborate belt buckle and a tee shirt with some sort of design on it. A bandana around his neck completes the look. -Everyday/ casual He often mixes and matches any of the above clothes for a casual occasion, although he does have a leather jacket he is a big fan of wearing when he can, although not at sea for any reason. It has a low collar and is dark brown in colour. Personality At all times Arthur is calm and reserved. It is not that he hides his emotions, as he most certainly does not and indeed is often quite quick to point out when something is not to his taste. When he does so he is often prone to making some non sensical phrase (“tea and crumpets!”) and raising his eyebrows, and although he will communicate his dislike he will not actually say what it is he has disapproved of. And he does like to disapprove of things. He does not mean to speak ill of people, but has a clear sense of what he sees as the way people (and men in particular) should do and upholds himself and everyone else to those standards, which can make him seem a little overbearing and stuffy. His intentions are good however, and he does mean the best for others and would not commit harm if he had another option, although if it is necessary he does not hesitate and will do what is expected of him without question. He believes strongly in the rule of law and thinks upholding it is an important part of being a gentleman. He is highly prone into believing in all kinds of superstitions, some of which are true and some aren’t, and often they are but not in this case. When he believes these could be damaging he will have a tradition that must be carried out to counter out, and he will accept, but ignore any criticism of these traditions, only agreeing in a sarcastic manner. In actual fact, he would often respond in a sarcastic manner to anything, whether or not he thought the other person would understand the sarcasm or it was appropriate. Although not a violent person, he is not above the use of it as long as it is in a civilised manner. What that means… Well, nobody knows exactly (possibly even him) but it does include breaks for lunch and strict timekeeping on both sides. Lateness is just unacceptable. History There isn’t much to say, in reality. Arthur was born and raised to be what he is today. He has no issues with his parents, although both have now passed on (his mother very recently) he has no lingering regrets, and feels happy he got to tell them all he wished to before they died. From his father he got his sense of right and wrong, his wealth, trading company and education all of which have served him well. From his mother he got his superstition, his caring nature (which is hidden, but there) and his practical skills such as embroidery and cooking, although it is unfair to blame her entirely for the latter and many others should share in it. He was home schooled from an early age by a variety of academics and began occasionally helping his father in the Westoland Trading Company at age fourteen. He often went on voyages with the cargo which not only gave him a keen sense of how a ship works but also gave him a level of empathy with the common men who worked on the ship, who humoured as well as educated him in parts of life he was not familiar with. At age seventeen he captained his first voyage and continued this until age twenty two where he took on more administrative roles, taking over full control on his father’s death at age twenty six. In his time as captain he engaged in plundering from rivals as well as basic transport and is no stranger to piracy, although of course he made sure first he knew how to maintain plausible deniability. In his time in command he has seen off many threats to his company and solidified their position as a strong market force, although at a couple of points they were severely under threat, at one point only being bailed out by another group, whose founder had been extensively taught by Arthur’s own. From there it has been plain sailing. The company has diverse holding in all major countries, so has been able to weather the recent storms well enough, and is now seeking to expand in the more peaceful climate. Abilities
