General Information

Anchor is a 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. He usually stays professional and 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.

Most Trusted Aquaintances
  • Nabi Kharlu
    - - - §

    Nabi started as nothing more than an irritating reminder of something that had been lost to him. Her illogical optimism and what he perceived as blind naivety contrasted too greatly to his cynical view of a world rotting from the dark corners most people chose to ignore. Yet this didn't stop him from saving her from being sold to a Doman Lord by his then-associate Elam Grave, whom he subsequently betrayed to do so. In the time they spent together in events following, Anchor began to develop feelings for Nabi which gradually grew into something immeasurable. There are no lengths he wouldn't go to assure her safety and happiness.

  • Brick
    -

    Quartermaster of the Ironsong. Brick was the one to approach Anchor about joining the crew, impressed with his tenacity and spirit. He became a mentor to Anchor, broadening his ability in not only language and writing, but martial skills as well. Respect comes easy for this Xaela, and Anchor rarely out-rightly questions Brick's decisions or rulings on any matters, believing them to usually be fair for the situation. Usually.

  • Shael Stormchild
    -

    A smuggler who Anchor originally met when Shael attempted to forgo paying the Ruby Tithe within Confederate waters. Ironsong's Captain decided to employ her services as reimbursement and, since then, she has otherwise proved herself to be a useful contact. Anchor immediately butted heads with this equally hot-tempered Highlander and easily gets riled by her cutting words and stubborn personality. As of now, he isn't sure he trusts her, but he trusts she cares for Nabi, and that's enough for him. For now. He also trusts that her aim with a rifle is spectacular.

  • Ghoa Mankhad
    - § -

    Being once someone who worked closely alongside Elam Grave, Anchor originally found it very difficult to trust this Xaela Nabi calls "friend". It was that latter fact alone that stayed his hand upon originally meeting her face to face after his escape from the underground fighting pits he was forced to fight in, blaming Ghoa for getting Nabi mixed up in it all with him after his lengths to keep her out of Elam's hands. He found some measure of empathy after hearing a bit about her past, but even that burned away after her alleged allegiance with Arasen Kharlu.

  • Batuhan Kharlu
    -

    Batuhan was one of the fighters Anchor was pitted against in the underground fighting ring he was brought to by Elam Grave. He only briefly contended with him in the six-man free-for-all initial trial match and then didn't cross paths until after his escape when Batu brought warning about those coming for Nabi. Anchor unwittingly felt a sort of camaraderie between him and Batu, both having experienced the cruelty of the Underground Pit and fighting alongside him during their excursion to the ruins. He finds Batu's unwavering trust in Arasen Kharlu admirable and infuriating.

  • Marius Aventine
    -

    Marius was, for a while, merely a name Nabi spouted around during her ramblings. Anchor was first properly introduced after his escape from the Underground, Marius being the one that might be able and eventually was able to remove the metal enhancement encasing his left arm. Marius' eager intrigue only reminds Anchor of the Curator from the Pits who was responsible for said attachment in the first place. Anchor finds the man's presence uncomfortable at best; anxiety-inducing at worst.

Burn List Family
  • The Warden

    There are many names to be put down for what's become of Cseri'a and Buoy, but if he had to pick one to aim to, it would be the one that had oversaw it all. Anchor has no names. Just a face, a symbol, and countless memories of torment to fuel his outrage. He swore on their graves and his own that he would do whatever it took to pay retribution to this elusive prey.

  • Elam Grave
    - § - - ✞?

    Elam Grave hired the Ironsong to carry out certain tasks, one being in particular to deliver a crate outside of Isari to a Doman Lord that contained Nabi Kharlu. Suffice to say, upon discovery, it did not go according to plan, Anchor slaughtering most of Elam's associates. Elam sought punishment for Anchor's acts, drugging him and giving him two choices: to die then and there, or to fight for Elam in an underground fighting ring. To which he accepted the latter. Anchor both respected and despised the man for his cruelty and ambitions; eager to prove himself to the Highlander, but also spit in the face of his superiority. However, once Nabi came back into the picture and Elam continued to threaten her well-being, Anchor knew he would go to whatever lengths to bring him down. Lengths which, during his and Nabi's escape, seemed to end with Elam being buried under a crumpling mountain along with many others.

  • Torrad
    - ✞?

    One of the few survivors of Anchor's massacre outside of Isari. Anchor was hardly fond of the man, but he respected his tenacity and the fact he did not take provocation sitting down, even if it meant punishment from his superior. He does regret not being able to put the man down himself. Torrad carved into Anchor's right shoulder down to his collar, where he had driven his blade during Anchor's killing spree in attempts to stop him. It was reopened after being on the mend in his captivity and now has a permanent place on Anchor's body.

  • Nagakane Akuido
    - ✞?

    Aka: The Curator. This man was in charge of tending to the fighters in the Underground fighting arena. He was also responsible for being the one to implement Anchor's enhancement. The first augmentation, though the memory is hazy, still haunts Anchor's psyche, only adding to the existing anxiety of restraints. Despite his part in it all, Anchor tried not to incite the wrath of the one that was, more or less, keeping him alive after intense matches. He will not be missed.

  • Nei Uzuka
    - ✞?

    One of the many sponsors in the Underground fighting pits. Something about this woman terrified Anchor to his core. Whether it was the whip she bore that reminded him of past punishments or something of her calculating nature that easily wrought sweat to his brow in her presence. Still, that didn't stop him from trying to use her in any way he could to assure his victory, attempting to put himself in her graces and assure he'd replace her fighter with him as her own. With her witnessing an act of cruelty against Nabi, Nei granted permission for Anchor to use the remnants of her previous fighter's body as an upgrade to his own.

  • Ieharu Musa
    - - ✞?

    A sponsor in the Underground fighting pit. Anchor could only assume by his presence and the way other sponsors reacted to him that he carried some authority and influence. Ieharu broke a deal with Anchor: if he threw the final fight (albeit, believably) he would assure Nabi's safety and Anchor would then become his fighter, privy to the courtesies Elam Grave denied him. Anchor accepted, hoping to use this information to his advantage. To say Anchor didn't trust Ieharu is an understatement. His constant calm and confidence unsettled Anchor wholeheartedly.

  • Arasen Kharlu
    -

    Cousin of Nabi Kharlu. This Xaela sought audience with Nabi in hopes to convince her to return with him to the Kharlu tribe, claiming it be for the sake of peace between them and the Jhungid. He never provided enough information to settle Anchor's doubts, and those doubts quickly turned to distrust, the man's attempts at charm and courtesy only inciting Anchor's impatience further. Anchor has already been betrayed once by Arasen but does not remember due to the influence of his pact with the entity Otsuyu, who fractured Anchor's mind in The Ruins and jumbled many important memories, including his knowing of Cseri'a and Buoy. Even without it, however, Anchor is certain Arasen is far from the ally he makes himself out to be with his cousin.

  • Cseri'a
    - - -

    Cseri'a was a mysterious miqo'te boy that Anchor befriended during his days as a slave on The Island. He ended up succumbing to the effects of the corrupted aether they had been mining for years, but before that he had been an emotional anchor of sorts. Cseri'a was a comforting source of humor, wisdom--skewed though it may seem on occasion--, and a light in some of the darkest times. The older brother of Seri, he was protective yet adventurous, encouraging Anchor to not let shackles hold him down. Since his loss, Anchor has always referred to him as a brother, being the closest thing akin to family he ever had.

  • Seri, aka Buoy
    - - - ✞?

    Sister to Cseri'a. As with her brother, Anchor befriended this spirited girl when he was a boy. Her quick wit and sharp words were something Anchor grew something of a fondness for. After Cseri'a death, Seri broke, unable to cope. To rectify this, Anchor took up the mantle and title as her brother, her even seeming to block out the fact that it was her blood-related brother that had perished. It was shortly after this they took on their aliases as Anchor and Buoy. During the destruction of The Island, they managed to escape, but he lost her months later to the sea after a revengeful attack on the vessel that had rescued them.
