Lyndon Peregrine
Prince Lyndon Peregrine
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Tall and lithe, Lyndon Peregrine is fast on his feet and faster with his rapier. Fastest of all is the infectious smile in his celestially handsome face, framed by his wavy black hair and highlighted by his glowing green eyes.
Physical quirks
Lyndon sets out to befriend or disarm whoever he meets, even subconsciously. Without a thought, his first response to meeting someone new is to smile, either to set them at ease or confuse them.
Cursed with wandering fingers, if something small and interesting is left unattended near him, it normally ends up in his hands, something to occupy them, without him even noticing. And from there it normally ends up in a pocket.
When he hasn’t put his hat on someone else’s head, he finds himself straightening it regularly, even though it always ends up at a rakish angle moments later.
Special abilities
Thanks to his celestial heritage, Lyndon is able to manifest spectral radiant wings from his shoulders. He can channel this innate power through his weapons to harm, and through his hands to heal. He is also able to detect the presence of extra-planar beings, and is unnaturally astute when it comes to detecting lies.
Apparel & Accessories
A blood red tricorn in pristine condition, good trim around the rim, with a long green feather extending behind. Lyndon has no idea what species the feather comes from, he just watched it drift down from the sky onto his ship one day.
A beautiful, intricately shaped gold pin in the shape of a rose, openly worn on the collar of his shirt.
Specialized Equipment
A deep blue coat, gold edged, with pale blue wave-like patterns along the bottom edge. It’s imbued with the some of the oceans power, allowing it’s wearer to swim and breathe underwater as if it were natural. The inside is lined with hidden pockets for any curios it’s wearer manages to pick up.
The Rose’s Thorn. A silver rapier with a cross guard in the shape of a golden rose. Metal thorny vines wind up the base of the blade.
A gold inlaid flintlock pistol, in a holster across his chest.
A poppy encased in blue sea glass, hung on a chain around his neck. Lyndon is convinced it brings him good luck.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Despite growing up royalty, Lyndon was allowed the same freedoms as any other resident of Peregrine Bay. When he wasn’t with his loving parents, he was running around the island, climbing across the castle walls or city’s rooftops, and swimming in the ocean in front of the throne room. Despite all this, the call of the sea came early, and at the age of 10 he smuggled himself on board The Oceans Howl and joined the crew. He spent the next few years jumping from ship to ship and working his way up the ranks.
At the age of 16, the responsibility of his position began to impose a little. While he still spent most of his time on the sea, he spent several months a year undertaking diplomatic duties in the various coastal cities around Arrasgoth. It was….. not the most exciting of duties, but he made the most of it, making contacts in the criminal underbellies of the city, and enjoying everything the cities had to offer.
More recently, he grew disillusioned with the meaningless nature of the frivolous distractions he’d been engaging in for a couple of years. In between his voyages and his diplomatic duties, he bought a house near the docks in Peregrine Bay, a place to call his own. He joined his father in hunting down the Reavers, rogue pirates who threaten Peregrine Bays way of life. And he took on even more diplomatic and…. ‘diplomatic’ duties in Teyrnas Seren, facilitating his fellow pirates business dealings through the contacts he’d made.
And it looked like this was going to be the way his life went for a while, until upon completion of some shady business, he stepped out of an alleyway and directly into the path of the most fascinating person he’d ever met. He spent the next month getting to know, and growing close to, Lady Penelope Hawthorne, and fell head over heels for her. After a glorious month, his time on land was coming to a regrettable end, a long scheduled return to Peregrine Bay approaching. But it was about this time that Penelope discovered information about an imminent attack on the leadership of Peregrine Bay, Lyndons parents. She gave him this information, at which point he brought forward his ships departure, readied the crew…. and invited Penelope to join him.
Education
From an early age, Lyndon received the best education available, the spoils of his parents piracy more than enough to pay for tutors. He was a quick study, picking up new topics rapidly, but had little interest in pursuing anything academic, sneaking away as often as possible, scrambling across buildings and hiding away from his tutors. He knew his path, he knew that he would one day be captain of his own ship, and so he made sure that he learned enough to make that happen, but was reluctant beyond that.
His time on the ships was no less important to his education, if significantly less formal. He learned how to fill every role on a ship, and more importantly perhaps, how to lead a crew, serving under a number of very different captains, all with their own lessons to teach.
While his formal education continued and prepared him for his diplomatic duties and gave him a good basis for everything to comes, it was his time on the ships that has shaped his path and led him to where he is, and the person his is, today.
Employment
Lyndon began his career at the age of 10, as a cabin boy on the Oceans Howl, eventually earning a promotion to part time powder monkey. By the time he was 12, he’d moved on to The Sanguine Knave, starting as a cabin boy again but soon working his way up to being a full deckhand. He worked his way though a number of ships over the years, filling most roles on the ships, while also spending time mixing with nobility, smugglers and criminals on land. Eventually he served as First Mate on board the Silver Terror under Captain Rodrick Swiftsteel.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Through sheer tenacity, managing to eventually join the crew of the Oceans Howl, a success that lead to where he is today.
Being appointed First Mate of the Silver Terror, an acknowledgement of the work he had done.
A certain encounter with a certain royal. While it was enjoyable, and quite the achievement, it also served to highlight the life he'd been living, and set him off on his current path.
Failures & Embarrassments
Not being able to save Weevil, it still weighs on him to this day. He has grown determined to do everything in his power to protect his crew.
Alienating Tavon, making an enemy. An important lesson that has shaped the way he deals with people.
Spending too long living a frivolous life. While it was enjoyable while it lasted, and he did make a reputation for himself as a competent sailor, he feels he could have done the same while pursuing more worthwhile goals.
Morality & Philosophy
Ownership is overrated. As far as Lyndon is concerned, if you can afford to lose it, then he is free to take it. He doesn't take from those in desperate need, and he's merciful where possible, but if you've got too much stuff, well, he's happy to help unburden you. He is not above sending a message, as in the case of the Reavers, where no mercy is given. They get what they deserve for jeopardising everyone and everything he cares about.
His end goal in everything he does is to look after and provide those in his care, including his crew. He takes not for the fun of it (although it is fun), but to ensure those he cares for have enough to thrive. And he sends a message to scare off those who would attempt to harm his friends and allies.
