Character Race Traits: (If Any)
Current Levelling Points LP:
4650
Current Level: {Nobody}
Description of Appearance:
Skill Set: Black Powder (gun Powder) weaponry
Weapons Carried: As his primary weapon Morris uses a custom single shot, bolt action, Flint lock Rifle with a 5 shot capacity. Should things come to close combat he carries a clockwork Pistol and a swashbuckler sword as a last resort. He also carries a small dagger which he uses as a tool.
Satchel Bombs: Due to Morris specialising in Gunpowder, he carries 3 sachel bombs with him. As he advances in Gunpowder levels these bombs do greater damage. At level 1 they do little more then Smoke, make a loud bang and disorientate those who are not expecting it.
The satchel takes a full turn before detonation. This represents the fuse burning.
Signature Moves:
Spark- This allows Morris to make a small flame (up to the size of a closed fist) appear. The distance on this technique is limited to 20 metres.
5 shot burst
Due to the loading system on his rifle Morris can fire each shot in rapid succession. However this leaves his rifle very hot, should he not wait a short while after the 5 shot bust (at least 3 posts)then the barrel will begin to warp due to the heat and his shots will become increasingly inaccurate
Quick Draw:
So long as he has loaded and primed his pistol (must be stated in a post that he has done so) Morris may quickly draw his pistol and fire a shot from it as he does so. This is so quick that he will usually catch the intended target by surprise, severely reducing their chances of evasion.
Me? Im nobody
Because Morris dosent always trade in legal items, being able to get by unoticed and unchallanged is sometimes crucial. It has got to a point that he has the phrase. "Me? Im nobody" down to a fine art, convincing people he is not worth their time.
This will work on a 100 sided dice roll, with me needing the following results to successfully convince the character im not worth their time.
If the person Morris is trying to Bluff somebody of the same level as him then he needs 51-100. However for every level below Morris the character he is trying to convince, Morris Recieves a -5 bonus to his score. (i.e he would succeed on 56-100). As he would be well known to these people. However the effect is reversed for characters of a higher level as they would consider his deeds insignificant to their own.
These numbers are for NPC's in order for Morris to be able to pull this off against a PC then he will need a result 10 higher then stated here. (e.g will need Above 40 to convince a captain)
Since this technique relies on Morris being unknown, as his LP rises the chances of him successfully achieving this technique drop proportionately. (will update when this happens)
Note:Morris Actually has to say the Phrase "Me? I'm nobody" in order to activate this technique
Would i lie to you?
After years of trading Morris has become a master of convincing people he's telling the truth. Would i lie to you? Can only be used if Morris is indeed lying.
This works in a similar way to Me? However the effects are reverse.
Note:Morris Actually has to say the Phrase "Would i lie to you?" in order to activate this technique
Spark Detonation Morris uses his spark ability to bypass the need to set a fuse on a sachel bomb. Instead detonating the bomb instantly, so long as it is within range of his spark ability (20 meters).
Trick Up My Sleeve
Once in a while, negotiations as to the price of certain goods can become rather heavy handed (Morris oftens deals with the less savoury chatacters of Riverrun.)
Morris prefering to avoid confrontation where possible has developed a way of dealign with such situations. In his sleeve left sleeve Morris keeps a small pouch of itching powder which is set up in such a way that all he has to do is pull on a drawstring in his sleeve and the Powder gets thrown directly out of the pouch into whatever Morris' arm is pointed towards.
The powder causes mild irritation to skin, which can be ignored for a short time, however it causes severe irritation if it ends up in somebodies eyes. Effectively blinding them until they can remove it. (3-5 posts for the eyes to water enough to clear it for a human). The effects can also be removed by washing affected area with plain water.
Background Story:
History: Morris grew up on the small island of Hara-makiesta in the far south. The island only had one settlement, the town of Unvar. When he was 16, a battle between local militia and the government destroyed the town , the inhabitants that weren’t killed in the crossfire, taken prisoner or escaped the island in what craft were left sea worthy were left to starve in the subsequent weeks. Morris was taken prisoner by one of the Government ships, for 3 years he was kept as a slave rowing in the depths of the ship he was captured by. As a slave he was often beaten and if the crew had been drinking too much.
Eventually due to a mutiny on the ship the prisoners along with Morris were released and allowed to disembark on a backwater island in a town that looked as if it had been put together from scrap wood and shipwrecks. For several years he worked in the town on whatever he could get money for, finally at the age of 23 he had enough money to get himself a small reliable Sloop and some weaponry.
For the last 5 years Morris has been sailing his sloop trading where he can and steadily building up his financial capabilities. Recently using the Pirate town off of the coast of Riverrun as his base of operations.
