Shurik

Shurik is first mate on the pirate ship The Lance. He was forced to take command of the ship when his captain went missing, although he never stopped searching until he was found.

Physical Description

Special abilities

Physical strength: Despite being human, Shurik has a massive amount of strength, endurance and speed after being “healed” and enhanced by the alchemist. In battle, he is a fearsome foe in melee range, able to destroy multiple enemies with one swing of his massive greataxe. Additionally, due to his intense training, he has incredibly quick reflexes and is an accomplished fighter.

Charge: Most notably, he is able to do a sort of 'charge' attack, almost instantly closing distance on an enemy in his sights, smashing into them and knocking them off balance, putting Shurik right in melee range

Apparel & Accessories

Shurik wears a white undershirt, with a leather baldric and belt holding one flintlock pistol in it. With a navy blue overcoat that runs down to his knees, unbuttoned. In addition cuffed boots and brown pants. He keeps his beard short and tidy.

Specialized Equipment

One modified flintlock pistol, Derecho. Modified to have high accuracy for longer range shooting. Derecho is a gift from Nitro to him.

Additionally, Shurik is an accomplished melee fighter, wielding a variety of weapons, but his signature one is a large, massive axe that requires a massive deal of strength to wield.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Due to his constant intense training, Shurik quickly rose through the ranks of his crew. His captain, at the time, was a powerful man, and Shurik respected him greatly, adopting several of his ideals. However, one day, their ship was attacked, and in the ensuing battle, Shurik was severely damaged, and the captain was taken captive. Shurik was selected as the new temporary captain, and he and his crew vowed to find Nitro and get vengeance on the crew that had attacked them. It was during these travels that Shurik encountered a powerful alchemist, who is the one responsible for imbuing him with great physical strength, so long as he can control his anger.

After awhile, Shurik's crew began to become disillusioned with their goal of finding their former captain's captors. Shurik was forced to return to traditional piracy, yet still seeks any information on his own time.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Nitro (Magnus): His captain and mentor.
The rest of the crew: Obviously, he needs to be in good with his crew.
Jumpers: Shurik trusts the Humpers because Nitro does, however because of his criminal past he does not like getting too close to the inner workings of the military, and tends to avoid “meeting” with them unless necessary.

Social Aptitude

Nitro’s first mate is hot-headed and quick to anger. While he has gotten over this somewhat, his anger does still visibly show even if he is able to hold himself back. Despite this, Shurik is also an exceptional liar, and cheat, having been in the pirate industry for so long, and knows how to talk his way out of a situation.

Shurik can be quite forgetful, and in part due to his rash nature, he will often bounce his leg when sitting down if he is impatient or bored.

In battle, Shurik is much more cold, precise, and calculating. While he focuses his anger and uses it as a weapon, he has to focus to keep his restraint, as he can succumb to bloodlust easily in battle, a side of him which he tries to hide.
