Account Name: Kaze

Basic Character Information
CHARACTER THEME
Name: August Leland
Nickname: N/A
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Affiliation: Pirate
Bounty: 0
Achievements: N/A
Profession:
  • Marksman
    The profession of Marksman provides sound experience and insight in calculating range, distance and wind elements and their impact on the path of a projectile. It is a general trait that applies to guns, slingshots, cannons, rifles and the like. People without this profession will have little to no luck in firing cannonballs where they are supposed to go under normal battle conditions. Characters with this profession have access to certain additional traits and may create "Stance" techniques.
  • Thief
    The Thief is a job closely related to the assassin. They both provide stealth capabilities, though a Thief gains lockpicking skills instead of poison knowledge, can generally know their way around the ways of barter and trade, and pickpocketing. Thieves don't have it hard to find 'underground info' in most cities, either.

Position: Independent


Physical Appearance
Height: 1.87m
Weight: 73kg
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green
Clothing/Accessories: August's attire is black with olive and white accents. He wears a striped blouse underneath a thin leather vest upon which an archetypal skull and crossbones are painted; atop those, a tall collar cloak. A many-buckled pair of shin high boots tuck his slim fitted trousers. His midriff is crossed by two belts, one of which is slanted to hold the holsters of his pistols. Leland wears a thin pair of frayed gloves underneath which his blouse bellows in order to achieve the distinct mariner factor. His right eye - while completely uninjured - is anointed by a felt eyepatch often used to regulate light sensitivity when contrasting environments, or to ease long range aiming.
General Appearance: This man is chic only as far as garderobe is concerned, as otherwise he neglects all that is grooming. Sporting abundant, shoulder length hair and a scruffy beard, he does not disappoint in reaching the expectancies of an unwashed degenerate. On the other hand, August is quite diligent in all that concerns conditioning, boasting a lean physique fit for running and athleticism, making his gait upright and tempered. He endures no scars or injuries to note on a permanent scale.

The Character
Personality: Leland was always a man of little gravitas in his community, and makes no effort to change that. He is neither a leader nor follower, rather a vagabond who tries to do what is right, never feeling beholden by law or authority. Believing in regulation and freedom both, the only part of his mentality's spectrum that renders him a pirate is wanderlust and a love for well earned treasure. August respects honesty but scarcely hesitates to lie to the wicked, or for the sake of goodness; he limits his deceit in that he will never willfully betray. He paragons for the poor and the innocent, and will never consciously bring them to harm. Murder is a concept he will avoid at all costs, and will only slay the evil and mean-spirited.

August abhors profiteering, and will actively act and speak against it. As such, he attains a keen mercantile sense, and is capable of remorselessly scamming, stealing from or dissuading those whose fortunes were garnered unfairly. Implicitly, he practices a fierce opposition to the World Government and its death-dealing roots.

In concord with his home island's ideals, Leland is a lover of guns, steak and whiskey. He is a social, and easily amused individual who possesses a hallmark laughter: "How-dee-dee-dee!"

This man seeks his happiness and that of others on the trail, in the form of good deeds and money.

Hometown: Wild Wild West Island, West Blue
History:
The Lelands, a family of successful ranchers, fell victim to one of the many incursions of competing cattlemen in the Wild Wild West. Their sole legacy, August - left orphaned at the mere age of seven - lived many of his early years sustained by none other than a shoe-shining stand by Ant Maam's Saloon, where he had scrubbed the boots of many powerful gunmen and marine soldiers. Spoiled by hefty tips, the young westerner armed himself with rope and pistol, and, mentored by a mellow alcoholic frequenting both his stand and the saloon, was quick to grow accustomed to the arts of sharpshooting and lassoing.

Reflecting upon the misfortune which afflicted his family, and being as keen as one would be having been on his own at such a time, August found himself disagreeing quite heavily with the patriotism upheld by the other locals; recognizing, ultimately, the lawlessness of his island, and the superficial nature of its marine presence - which seemed only to be there in order to assure the export of the land's famous cattle was smooth.

Bitter and disillusioned, young August sought to avenge his family by sabotaging the repurposed Leland ranch through nightly acts of juvenile vandalism, perpetuated over the course of several years. Thus his life was lead in a very fixed routine of shining shoes, mopping floors, gun and lariat practice, throwing manure.

The ranch he had been exacting revenge on was fairly quick to change hands in the large scope of things, and the way of the West was revealed to adolescent August when he had witnessed the umpteenth ransacking which had finally flattened it into rubble. Purposeless, and of a moral axis differing from those around him, Leland took whatever beli he had garnered in his years of work and took to the sea, a cowboy with no name searching for his fortune and happiness.

Abilities and Possessions
Combat: August makes it quite obvious his methods of engagement are chiefly ranged through his visible arsenal; and given his upbringing, any and all duels he indulges are never supposed to last more than ten paces, a turn and a shot. The more he had learned of the world outside of the Wild Wild West, however, Leland hearkened to means of surviving longer encounters by way of evasion, disarming and disabling, rendering him into a patient and artful contender.

Iron Single Shot Longrifle (iron bayonet)

Traits:

  • Fate of the Cunning (3 Traits) - By placing traits in Fated, you lock them until the next time you earn a trait. You may put as many traits as you have into fated. In the meantime, you get a temporary boost of (# of traits in fated, multiplied by 3) to your accuracy stat.
  • Top Gun (1 Trait): These marksmen are top of the line when it comes to being able to draw their weapon and fire. It almost seems like magic as to how they never seem to run out of bullets. The trick to it is that these characters are always reloading their gun reflexively faster than those around them notice thus they never have to actually deal with taking the time to reload at a critical moment in battle.
