:. Do not post in this journal without permission. If your character has a gift or a note for Melchy, simply PM it to me. Generally, I will post it in his journal when the timing is convenient, so I can fit it in properly.
:. Roleplay respectfully. There's nothing I hate more than godmodding and powerplaying. Minor powerplay (such as anticipating my characters' action) might be acceptable, particularly if our characters know each other well, but don't count on me letting things slide.
:. Melchy is not for sale. He is my baby. Don't ask. It's a dumb thing to ask.
:. Feel free to PM me plot ideas, or anything else you need. If you have an idea, just shoot it over to me and we'll talk. I'm available for IM and PM roleplay, as well, so if you prefer that to guild posting, I can do it that way.
:. Non-Patch children are always welcome to RP with Melchy. I love roleplay, and never turn anyone away.

. razz ersonality:. Melchy is pretty much a total a**. He loves piratey things (treasure, taking things that aren't his, trying to sneak rum while Katrina's not looking) and has the inherently contrary nature of some cats. The less you want to be around him, the more he wants to be around you. He's reasonably affectionate to those people he decides are cool (particularly people who give him things), but overall, he's more likely to be kind of haughty or kind of rough. In spite of Katrina's best efforts to teach him manners and proper speech, he kind of just gives up and does whatever the hell he feels like. Has a tendency not to remember things are forbidden until too late. He has a limited attention span, loves the ocean and things associated with it, and is somehow quick to make friends in spite of his somewhat boorish exterior.

 .......................:name:. Katrina Elizabeth Chandler.......................
.:gender:. Female................................................
.:age:. 42.............................................................
.:nationality:. British............................................
. surprised ccupation:. Pirate Captain.................................
 .:appearance:.
Katrina is, in a few words, short, skinny, and plain. At forty-two, she has definitely lost any last vestiges of girlish good looks, but she hasn’t yet managed to achieve ‘old’. Blonde and blue-eyed, she somehow manages to make what could otherwise be a stunning combination rather…well…boring. Truth be told, she cares little for appearance and maintains it only as much as she needs to. She is of average weight and height, and the actual numbers are of no concern to her. Nor should they be to anyone else.
She dresses sensibly, generally in men’s clothing, and always, no matter what clothing she has on, manages to make herself look like a pirate. She is almost never seen without her sword, a well-made Spanish blade with an intricate crossguard and hilt. Her footwear (generally boots) is always practical but, like the rest of her, look as if she raided a costume shop. Dressing up for Katrina consists of a black tricorn hat and violet frock coat. While recently, she’s been delving into the world of ‘normal’ clothing, she’s found that she nonetheless prefers her own.
.:personality:.
Katrina is a hardened, no-nonsense sort of woman. She does not truck with foolishness, and she will not tolerate idiots. Not quick to anger, she does, however, become irritated swiftly, and she is easily frustrated in the presence of people she dislikes. She has a tendency to be very sarcastic and has an extremely dry sense of humour. She enjoys plays on words and subtly academic jokes. Well-educated and articulate, Katrina speaks very proper, precise English and is a stickler for using exact words. She speaks quickly and often, quick to criticize. Cynical to a fault, she regards most everything with a pessimistic—though she would insist it was merely realistic—eye.
Like most pirates, Katrina has a dangerous ruthless streak and a love for treasure, though both are tempered by practicality. She will not lead her men or venture herself into unnecessary danger unless the payoff is obscenely well worth it. She is not opposed to killing or causing harm to strangers, and will not hesitate to punish those around her if she thinks they deserve it.
As a captain, Katrina is hard. She has no tolerance for people who do not listen to her, though she feels no need to control her crew’s every motion. She does not take responsibility for others’ mistakes, although she is fully aware that her crew’s behaviour reflects on her. She makes sure her crew knows that as well.
.:likes:.
Sailing, money, being on deck of a ship, good weather, dolphins (sign of good luck), rum, sea shanties, cartography, Shakespeare.
.:dislikes:.
Idiots, drunkenness, losing money, disrespect, ignorance, poorly performed theatre, mimes, being dirty, being cooped up inside, brawling.
.:history:. Katrina was born and raised in a very well-to-do part of Barton Town, by rich and very well-to-do parents. She never wanted for toys or other things, was generally at the peak of every trend, and got a top-class education—at boarding school. Her parents, though they tended to buy her whatever she asked for, were never into the whole ‘raising children’ thing. Katrina grew up spoiled and unrestricted, and naturally had a wild time with her youth that ended in her parents booting her out when she turned eighteen.
Suddenly poor and without a family, Katrina was unable to go to college (like she had intended) and had to work for her supper (like she had not intended). She spent about two years drifting from place to place in Gaia, never staying anywhere for long, doing odd jobs. Eventually, she decided that she loved the ocean and settled in a coast town.
When she was twenty-two, she ran into a group of pirates—legitimate, old-fashioned pirates, who sailed a wooden sailing ship and stole things from people. They convinced Katrina to join them, and she sailed with the crew of the ship—Enchanter—for three years before she returned to the mainland. And that taste of the seafaring way of life made it impossible for Katrina to stay away. She sailed with a handful of other pirates on and off for years and spent her plunder on college courses, getting herself a law degree and eventually suing her parents for her inheritance. Then she used the inheritance to buy a ship of her own and hire a crew.
They marauded and plundered and did pirate-y things, though most shore raids were eschewed in favour of not being arrested. All the same, they occasionally burned towns and stole, because you can’t be a pirate and not do that. Katrina found that the longer they spent on the ocean, with almost no contact mainland, the more she forgot her home life and became an old-time pirate captain. The same held true for her men. The limited contact with civilization made the crew more savage, and made Katrina less inclined to ever relinquish her control.
Until the unfortunate incident with the cabbage, she made contact with the mainland only reluctantly, and she would have been hard-pressed to ever make a trip into the city. She’s been gone so long as the captain of her ship, Ghost, that she’s lost amidst things like stylish clothing, ovens, and light-bulbs.
Plus, she’s on wanted lists across the world.

Katrina’s first mate, Hawkiss is like an uncle to Melchizedek. He has been the main male influence in Melchy’s life. While he is not formally educated, he is self-taught and knows keen arithmetic, and Katrina generally throws Melchizedek at him for lessons. Hawkiss is much less prone to irritation than his captain, and is surprisingly fond of children. He is often wrangled into babysitting and, while he resents it somewhat, has grown to love Melchizedek as something of a nephew. Even so, he is a pirate, and when he loses his temper, he loses it.
.:Captain Alexander Vega:.
Katrina’s...lover. Melchy isn't really sure what to think of him. Considering Katrina and Alex have an on-again off-again relationship that is as violent as it is caring (generally more violent than caring, actually) and tend to act like they hate each other, Melchy really has no clue whether he's coming or going. He likes Alex well enough, though, and Alex seems to be pretty much okay with him.
.:The Crew:.
The Ghost under Katrina houses a fairly large crew, numbering somewhere between twelve and twenty at all times. For the most part, Katrina doesn't employ them as babysitters, but growing up with them has given Melchy a rather...unique way of looking at things. As time goes on, more and more of the crew is leaving, but enough of them have stayed to keep the house delightfully full.

Named after the popular generic heroine
in most sea shanties. This lovely darling
found her way into Melchy's heart and not
his stomach, and he'll never let her go.
