Engaged Deity...Llymlaen, the Navigator Nationality... Gridanian Occupation... Pirate Captain Alignment...Neutral Evil: Type 1 AppearancePersonalityTimelineRumorsRelationshipsRP HooksArtworkMusicOOCCredit Physical Appearance Impossible to miss in the crowd, this ‘black cat’ most notable feature is his penchant for the darker colors. Dull grays, midnight blues, leather and weathered cotton all dark in hues. His gloves and boots are far from brand new, the condition of its making worn with age while sporting various marks from unspoken battles. Often called ‘hat’ due to his love for wearing them, he is almost never seen without sporting one atop his head. Decorative hats and plumed corsairs with the brim low enough to conceal all but his lips. A mess of wavy, raven-night locks peppered with grays hangs from off his shoulder and falls down along his back reaching just shy of his waistline. His tail seems to continue the tradition of his hair; long, thick, and bushy at the end. His large, fluffed ears each sport a series of gold hoops along the length. Rings of various types and sizes line his fingers from gold to silver. Silver-light eyes lined and smeared with Kohl compliment the racial markings on his cheeks. His face is far from neat due to the shadow of stubble often present around his jawline. Some days he cleans it up for presentable reasons, yet the Keeper is more known for his rugged appearance. While not clear at first sight, age has toned this once young and aspiring Keeper into a rigid and cold corsair. Eyes framed with crow’s feet give away the Keeper’s venerable point in life. A lifetime spent in the company of sea-faring sort makes its presence known in every word spoken. Scars & Markings: While his body is not free of scars as he has gained quite a few over the years, none of them are remarkable or distinguishable enough to have its own story or purpose. Aside from the racial markings on his face—three dark black lines on each cheek—there are no visible tattoos seen on his body. His eyes are often lined with dark kohl and smudged around the lids for a smokey effect and look. Voice: A rumbling deep timbre rich in sound and roughened by a sea-faring accent. On an average day, he speaks like a marauder; crude and without care for whoever is listening. When docile, however, his words are crisp and spoken with a gratuitous waxed lilt of gentility and politeness. Smooth and near decadent in its crooned delivery. Selfish, Hedonistic, Cold, Indifferent, Curmudgeon The sails swell full. To sea, to sea! This Keeper’s personality can be described simply as laconic—a brooding presence that teeters between dour indifference to odious in demeanor. Serious to a fault, he carries a near consistent introverted disposition in the presence of strangers, ever leery and guarded of those who ask too much or attempt to get too close. Once a natural born socialite capable of whipping up a conversation with a smile and a laugh, years of playing the hiding game has transformed him into a bit of a misanthrope, favoring solitude and silence over chatter and company. While not the most charismatic individual, he is known for several hedonistic attributes such as his philandering, alcoholism, and larceny. When prompted to speak, Vasir’s mannerisms can often be a touch crass and sarcastic, his language often colorful and profane with scant regard for sobriety and decorum. He is every bit a 'sailor' in casual company, lewd and overly facetious towards those who are easy to rile. Of course, this behavior is only a small facet of his complicated makeup, the layers that make up his being unraveled only when an established level of trust is reached. The anchor heaves, the ship swings free.

New alliances formed, jobs pursued, and of course seeing to it that merchant ships split its fair share at sea. The talk of Othard has his ears buzzing. The Ruby Sea calls to him... Summarized Backstory Vasir’li was born to a very traditional and established Keeper clan nestled deep in the reaches of the Black Shroud. His mother, Vasir, was a studious leader. Her focus was heavily placed on raising her daughters to follow in her footsteps while her sons held less of her attention and hopes. Despite this, her desire to see them useful is what led to the arrangement between his very first mate and lover, Shae. This led to his one and only son born to him named Shae’a. Despite following the expectations placed upon him, Vasir'li was a “black sheep” in his family due to his disinterest with upholding traditions. His self-serving attitude and yearning for more out of life beyond family are what created the divide between himself and his life partner. Shae was a devout believer and firm follower of upholding values while Vasir'li cared for none of it. Their differences in this led to his departure of the clan. Eager to see the world, he abandoned his tribal life with only a note to explain. Vasir’li dove straight into the criminal underworld by performing odd jobs and various tasks while residing in Limsa. While performing a job, a Captain took interest in his skills and offered him an opportunity of a lifetime. Join his crew or sink to the bottom of the sea, a choice given after failing the "job" of stealing the Captain's belongings. Naturally, he accepted. Within a few years, his role moved from mere deck swabber to the Captain’s most trusted mate. When the Captain succumbed to his injuries after a failed siege, it was Vasir’li who stepped forward and became the new Captain. Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the Player Character! NPC . ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "Oh I know him. I never forget thieves! Every time he walks by he manages to swipe one of my goods without even trying! If you find him, tell him I have a tab JUST for him!" -- Shopkeeper, Ul'dah ■ "Quite the charmer, that one. When he wants something, he has a way with words. I suppose I have only myself to blame for letting it get to my head. All those free drinks..." -- Tavern Barmaid, Ul'dah ■ "I've seen him around. He's normally with a few others or alone drinkin' an' whisperin' an' shite in that corner ovah there. Don't trust 'em at all. They reek of trouble." -- Nosey Bar Patron, Limsa Lominsa ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "He has a beautiful ship. I've seen it a few times while purchasing a few wares from his lovely group. I have no idea how he manages to come across them, but he sells them far cheaper than others! It's practically a bargain!" -- Clueless Merchant, Limsa Lominsa ■ "For the right price, I hear he can take care of your problems and make them go away. And I mean any "problem". You know what I mean, right? -- Seedy Bar Patron, Limsa Lominsa ■ "He has children, you know. Hard to believe, I know. Don't let it fool you, I've heard he isn't a really good father. You didn't hear it from me, however." -- Gossipy Civilian, Limsa Lominsa ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "He is a disloyal brute with no care for his clan and family. He left his mate to pursue his "dreams" or something. Can you believe that? One should be grateful to be chosen a mate and given such an opportunity from his mother. He squandered it for pursuing life outside. It's his fault that she's dead!" -- Nameless Keeper Female, Black Shroud ■ "You mean Captain Black Jack? That's what he goes by out there at sea. People are idiots if they think he's just out there transporting merchandise from seemingly out of nowhere. There's a reason all those items are sold cheaper, you hear?" -- Black Market Seller, Limsa Civilian ■ "I don't think he wants it to get out, but I walked in on him playing on the piano while getting ready to leave. He's quite good, actually. Then he noticed me and all went to shite. Told me to keep it to myself and never— oh shite." -- Prostitute, La Noscea PC . ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own! ■ "He smells really, really, REALLY gross -- like, low-tide and barf and booze! Better plug your nose when you walk by him!" C'liri Vahnis ■ "He steals candy from kittens, and laughs! He's terrible -- AND MEAN!!" C'liri Vahnis ■ "Does anyone actually believe he's an honest merchant? ..Seriously? I can't think 'f a single thing that strikes me as good samaritan about him. He prowls 'round 'n the middle of the night wearin' all black, even." Rhysa Verkoh ■ "Vasir'li? PAH! You mean Black Jack? Call him Black Jack. He likes it. Really likes it, if you know what I mean. Oh, he is a grand man to do business with. Honest and true. And he will even be so honest that he will steer his own customers away if it will save them a pretty coin. 'Take to the skies!' he will say. And surely he will point them, in the most respectable way possible, towards the airship, The Runner. A good man with good morals, indeed. Listen to him." Most definitely not Es'mena Nenda ■ "Jack? Yeah, know 'im. Won't tell you where he is, though. Only good thing about that man is his Keeper blood, and it's that blood that keeps me from clockin' 'im on accident and tossin' him in the water. Doesn't mean I like 'im, just -- he's bearable. I've got 'is back and I trust 'e has mine. For now. Now, piss off unless you want to be practice, and don't breathe a word o' this to 'im." -- Flidais Locte ■ "Vasir'li Solhu...my, my, my, what a man. He entertains the thought of being Seeker rather than Keeper, if you understand my meaning. And to be quite honest, he would make a very delicious Seeker. I can certainly speak for his capabilities. Alas! Neither of us are perfect parents, but I can swear by the Twelve that the making of it...oh, it is good, and very much worth it." Lovete Neldawn ■ "He ain't nothin' but a brute who gets off on scarin' people. " Mek'ir Azhra ■ "Add rumor here."

Positive/Friendly RP Hooks ■ Of the Dirty Seas Pirates know other pirates, so why would they not be familiar with faces or given names? While not a great hook, it is a neutral one for engaging. Meeting with Vasir'li some might recognize him to be "Black Jack" who Captains the Cursed Revenge at sea. Those who were also active might note that he took a leave of absence for a time and sudden return some years later. Though not all those who sail the seas are friend so this connection might be met with scrutiny and suspicion. If a pirate might come across him, be prepared to be judged heavily. If a Pirate Captain comes across him, then he might know your name. ■ Business & Black Market Need an item that is banned or not normally sold where you reside? Perhaps you have shipments that require transport or hoping to recover them from authorities. Perhaps your character has need in 'removing' a problem as quietly and efficiently as possible. Vasir'li takes pride in building a reputation for himself that. Negative/Hostile Hooks ■ Trouble with Authority. A lawful character might recogize his face on a few WANTED posters or simply familiar with him and his past activities. While he tends to be discreet about his life, it doesn't mean he's immune from captivity. Try and turn him in if you can, but it might not end in your favor.
