Name: Josephine Lathrean aka: Jo
Race: elf/human
Class: Other- mistral/ thief/ sailor
Appearance:Jo stands about 5' 10" inches wich is small for a elf, she has a lean but muscular build. Puberty wasn't very kind to the poor elf, she's not very curvaceous, but she's still growing. Eli has very short black hair, with silver streaks, that she stands on end via la gel. Her eye colors are very strange, she has deep cold violet and one jade green eye. she has naturally tanned skin, and usually wheres loose fitting mens clothing. She usually dresses in a long sleeved button up shirt. The sleeves of her shirt tucked into her long leather gloves. Underneath she wheres a white undershirt, and bostee(sp?) for lift, with a pair of black pantaloons tucked neatly into her calf high brown leather boots. Her ears are small, and sharply curved, and sheweres many silver earings in her left ear.
Background:
Jo is literally a 'jane of all trades.', her mother was supposedly 'raped by her father.' which was a lie that her adopted family told her. Her mother unfortunately died during, jo's birth and her father being a sailing man, was lost at sea years ago, Jo was then taken in by her mothers family. They made certain that jo knew that she was a mistake, highly abusing her,blaming her for her mothers death. Jo, ran away as quickly as she could taking to the streets alone. She became a thief, a skilled hand to hand fighter, and a mistral. She wanders aimlessly through life, she rarely speaks, unless it is truly necessary.
Sample rp:
All she ever wanted was to be loved. Jo stared out at the sea, her violet eyes empty of any sign of life. The wind carrying the heavy sent of the sea pushed her short black hair waved in the wind playfully. She sat lazily in the crows nest of the ship, one leg close to her chest, and the other lying flat against the wood of the ship.

She dressed as a man, this way she could move freely about, without those bloody comments of her being a woman. "You should be married! Where are your parents? Dress like a laddie!" She spat on the ground to that thought, she didn't wish for such a thing to happen to her, her violet eyes suddenly sparking with life. Then again, if it was found out she was a female, dressed in men's clothing she would probably be hung. She had a very free spirit, she did not wished to be constrained to a dress, and a child on her hip. That is probably why she always found herself on a pirate ship of all things.

She coughed slightly as she watched the sun paint the sky as it slowly began to rest. She tuned her Guitar(or lute whichever is more appropriate). The sailors below smiled as they herd the trickle of notes swim down through the still sea air to their ears. "Come down and play!" called out a sailor. Jo smiled as she slowly stood up, stretching out her long lean arms. She leaned forward, her strange eyes consumed those below, she lifted a gloved hand to her ear, as if to say, "do what now?" She hated to speak, it hurt her to do so. She never spoke unless it was truly necessary. "come down with us and play!" called out a sailor. She grinned showing off her white teeth, she then turned on her heal of her boot and made her way down to the deck of the ship.

Journal log #1:

The way she looked at me haunts me as i walk on this dark lonely path. Wherever i went, i was always met with hatred and prejudice. I had to disguise myself as a man, just to make certain i wouldn't be killed by a radicle. However, i can't always assume hatred will meet me. She saw with me with love in her eyes.

I first met her, when i saved her from falling overboard Capitan Deranger's ship. I guess it was then she fell for me, even though i never spoke. Or dignified her admiration with a second glance. However, she met me one night and kissed me so harshly my lips bleed. "i know your a woman..." she whispered ever so softly. "but i love you Jo. I won't hurt you Jo, none of us on this ship would ever dream f harming you because of whom you are." she teared up beginning to cry. She didn't understand, love between two woman is forbidden. Let alone my disguise, i was always in danger because of it. If found out in a kingdom, i would be hanged or burned at the stake. I couldn't love her, i couldn't return her affections. I am always followed by danger, hate, i saddened. Her eyes pleading, for me to speak. But no words came to my lips.

I pushed her away, with a gloved hand, how can she love something like me? I gave her a powerful smile. I then took a step back, i couldn't. I passed by her, as if hearing nothing. I left the ship, not wanting to throw the ones i favored in danger. I had let them get too close to me, i saddened as i left the pirate ship. She stood on the deck of 'The Raven', sobbing screaming me not to leave them. I didn't even look back, i had to continue on, try to find what i am looking for. I won't rest until, i find the peace i am looking for.

Journal log #2:

"Jo, my boy." called out Captian Deranger with a cheerful grin. I smiled as i approached him with a cheerful smile. This ship, was different from other pirate ships i had been on. Capitan Deranger became like a second father to me, making me nearly forget about my precuise treasure. "come join me in my quarters for a drink." The short Human man wrapped a burly arm about my thin shoulders pulling me playfully below the deck of the ship. I smiled as we entered his quarters, he ushered to my chair. We had just recently, came into a large bounty of treasure, and buried in a large cave on a mysterious island.I sat as he handed me a glass of rum. "Jo ,my boy, i want you to watch this, your the only one i want to remember." he lifted the map which he drew the directions to island on. He struck a match against his fingers, and itr began to burn away. I Wore a shocked look on my face, as i tried to take it away from my captain. he quickly pulled it away and watched it burn away ever so calmly. "Jo, your like a son to me." He stated, he wore a sad look on his face. "I want only you to inhearet (sp?) my treasures, when i die." I wore a saddened look on my face, the thought of him dying made me unbearably sad. "My son,." he hugged me tightly. "You should leave this ship." I went to speak, but he shushed me with a finger. "My son, please.. you must leave this ship, very soon." ......

Journal log #3

I was merely sitting in a bar drinking away my past , when i overheard two soldiers crackign jokes. I rolled my eyes and continued to try and become drunk. Suddenly i overheard their description of a man they had recently caught. A elvish man with long silver hair, and jade eyes. By the gods, they were describing my father! I immediately turned in my chair, oh gods, please, his name! "Maxis Terbit." My eyes widened as the one informed his partner the name of the prisoner, it was my father! He was alive! All those years, I thought him lost at sea and now he was possibly alive. My pirating ways suddenly seemed rather useless to me, I carefully listened as the one informed his partner of my fathers fate.

He was brought to prison isle, I knew then and there i had to go ad seek him out. All those years of pain and torment flooded my mind. I had to go and seek him out! I just had to know his fate, and i would do anything to find out the truth behind my past. You have no idea of what its like, to be told that you were a mistake. That you are a monster because of your fathers acts. I had to know,m did he rape my mother? Or was she in love with him? I had to kill him, if he did rape my mother. His fate was sealed, he was going to die by hanging, the time was not set, i had to find him before then. By the gods i swore, I would find out the truth!
