Mentality
Personal history
Before starting his life as a tyrant of the seas, Vik tried his hand at fishing. In his Village of Du'ul, located in the northern flood-plains of an unnamed continent, fishing was all there was. The residents lived a hard life, with relatively little to their name. Thus they had to rely on trading the rather disgusting local fish with any foreigners they could, to get the supplies that the village of Du'ul naturally lacked.
During his attempts at being a fishermen, Vik faced endless racism and theft. As he met folk from outside his village, he quickly learned of the sort of treatment Lizardfolk face out in the larger world. Vik, not the nicest person to begin with, quickly tired of the traditional "honest" work of fishing, and turned to privateering. He soon centered himself around the idea that nothing is worth caring about other than his own wealth and well being, and those who can directly benefit him. Thus, he joined the crew of the ship Satisfaction, and worked his way up the ranks.
Vik was respected by the crew due to physical power and fighting style. He'd carry a harpoon around with him that he could hurl with startling accuracy, pinning his foes and targets with ease. The harpoon always had a rope attached to it, and Vik would use his strength to haul the helpless being towards him. Friend or foe, no one wanted to be on the receiving end of Vik's harpoon.
On a calm afternoon, the Satisfaction was calmly passing through a small set of islands, scouting for shipwrecks. They were on their third wreck of the day, when through the crystal clear waters, a golden amulet was spotted. Four Men tried to swim down to the wreck at the same time, Vik being one of them. Vik, being the stronger, more natural swimmer, reached it first. When he put his hands around it and felt the power, he knew the amulet had to be his and no one elses. When the three remaining men reached the spot Vik had swam to underwater, Vik quickly and brutally murdered them. Upon returning to the surface, Vik informed the crew that a shark attack had occurred, and that there was nothing else of worth below the surface.
Education
In the village of Du'ul, the only education is that of traditional Lizardfolk education. Vik learned the ways of his people, the rituals, and the professions, before throwing it all away to live a life of piracy.
Employment
Bounty hunter, privateer, pirate, thief, murderer, vagabond. Vik has been called all of these names, while sailing on the Satisfaction under the great pirate William Fold.
Mental Trauma
Apathetic to the general public. Not interested in finding the good in other people, as his early life stomped out all hope of finding good people.
Morality & Philosophy
Whats yours is mine. If you disagree, I will eat you.
Known Languages
Lizardfolk, Common
Personality
Motivation
Vik wants to take the world on. He wants to take on everyone, win, and take everything he can. As far as he's concerned, nothing in the world belongs to anyone, not even their lives. That means everything is free for the taking, by whoever is the strongest.
It's his goal to be the strongest, and take the most.
