General Information
Anchor is a currently-tentative crew member of Ironsong, a vessel owned by a Confederate-affiliated band of pirates that take on jobs and contracts for the right price. When he isn't sailing the eastern seas with his Ironsong comrades, Anchor is usually taking up various jobs on the shores of Hingashi, particularly in the bustling city of Kugane.
Appearance
A short crop of black hair and trimmed facial hair frames Anchor's gaunt features. Being just over six feet, his body's underweight state gives his form a lanky and wiry appearance. A thin lash-shaped scar runs across between Anchor's brows to his left cheek, cutting near the unique tattoo there with it's mirroring counterpart on the opposite side. Anchor's eyes are an unnatural red, though they may appear vivid brown from a distance in dimmer lighting. His skin is slightly off-hue from an otherwise deeply tanned olive tone, darker particularly under his eyes--though his fiery spirit staves away the weariness that would otherwise weigh his disposition.
Personality
Personality Traits
- Aggressive
- Cynical
- Impatient
- Tenacious
- Stubborn
- Loyal
- Perceptive
Mannerisms
Anchor is incredibly short-tempered and it doesn't take much to press his buttons, though he usually manages to stay professional and/or aloof unless otherwise provoked. Anchor tends to stick away from crowds and, if it can't be helped, tries to position himself ideally to where he can see the majority of individuals present. He makes no attempt to be or appear to be approachable, sending glares at anyone looking at him the wrong way or what he perceives as anyone looking at him the wrong way.
Philosophy & Ideals
A life for an eye. Anchor believes in harsh punishment for hard wrongs, regardless if he is the one dealing out or receiving said punishment. Don't expect any thanks or apologies either. The what's-done-is-done mentality outweighs any sort of thought to assume credit is due or forgivable.
Common Equipment / Possessions
- Tribal Earring. For one who usually collects fineries and rarer objects, this ornamental, albeit cheaply made earring seems off from Anchor's usual eastern aesthetic. Mostly made up of copper and leather, the most distinctive part is the crude piece that resembles a moon at half-quarter. It appears to be a thin sliver of opal mounted on a chip of obsidian.
- Katana. Anchor almost always has one at the ready on his person. He has a slew of them that he collects, so they usually differ slightly in appearance from day to day, depending on which he picks up on his way out.
- Pan Flute. A recently refurbished pan flute. Someone may be able to catch him with it on the pier or in a quiet place, but goes curiously quiet if he notices someone draw near.

Slaughters most of Elam's men at nearly the cost of his life, all but a man name Torrad, who Brick, Anchor's quartermaster spared in hopes of retaining some sort of relationship with Elam Grave. Brick aimed to make it appear as if their had been another ambush similar to their delivery with Shael.

RP Hooks
-
Mercenary for Hire
Anchor is usually always in need of work, especially with his slowly declining presence aboard the Ironsong. Bodyguard work, deliveries, basic construction, anything really. Anchor's a surly brute, but he's not too proud to not take on a simple job for coin. And the more difficult ones just means it pays more, right?
-
Ruby Tithe
Being affiliated with the Confederates, Anchor can run a pretty good deal to get people across the Eastern seas otherwise taxed by fellow pirates. He knows some people.
-
An Extra Pair of Eyes and Ears.
All information comes at the right price! Anchor has been on and about the Eastern landmasses for some time now and would be happy to give any pointers to clueless foreigners. Well, he'll be happy with the coin you shine his direction at least. He may even be nice about it if he's paid enough! Nice for Anchor, at least.

Self Care
I don't have many "policies", or whatever you want to call them, but taking care of yourself is one of them. Anchor can be an aggressive character, depending on the circumstances, and if you personally get ooc-triggered or upset by scenarios involving verbal abuse, insults, or physical altercations, please do not feel obligated to interact with this character. Likewise, if we are already in the middle of rp and, at any time, you as the player get anxious or otherwise, please send me a /tell and I can either end it immediately where it stands, or through rp itself (i.e. He gets called over by someone or something or just peaces out because reasons).
Behind my screen I am not trying to make someone else behind theirs feel personally attacked or upset. Communicate is always open.
