Getting Back To It

With course coming back up I figured I may as well get back to drawing and thinking of stories. Recently I've gotten into Dungeons and Dragons along with Pathfinder, in making my character I figured I may as well do a back story especially considering the picture of him looks like he should have one (I will post a picture at some stage it is only on paper at the moment)


Oliver Crowe

As a child Oliver was kidnapped by a band of pirates called "The Blood Cutlass" Naturally being born into a rich family the leader "Dead Eye Archer" wanted to ransom Oliver however a number of the crew grew impatient, mostly Archer's second in command "Talon the Untamed" who led a raid against the Crowe's estate taking anything they wanted and killing anyone they found including Oliver's parents. Archer took pity on Oliver and took him under his wing despite Talon's disagreements and taught him how to fight and sail.

Over the years Oliver had learned to know the crew, become a more than capable sailor, grown fond of killing and thievery and earned the name "Mischievous Oliver" at the current age of 19. The crew had gains of its own, 5 years back they had taken another ship marking the beginning of the Blood Cutlass fleet naming Talon as the captain of the new ship.

During a harsh storm out at sea, a rival pirate band named "The Krakken" and the Blood Cutlass crossed paths breaking out into a viscous fight between 5 vessels, two belonging to the Cutlass and three to the Krakken. Halfway through the battle the Krakken had lost one ship and Talon became ambitious siding with the Krakken, taking a boarding party to the ship in which Oliver and Archer were on. Archer and Talon fought however Talon was much younger and had numerous tricks up his sleeve which helped him defeat Archer before Oliver could come to help. A viscous and bloody battle broke out between Talon and Oliver costing him his right hand pinky finger and a few cuts and bruises (a number of them on his face) In the end Oliver lunged his sword into Talon's chest and shot him in the forehead and overboard.

Despite losing their captain and a number of their men Oliver took command of the ship and successfully sunk Talons ship and another Krakken however it only took one more boarding party to capture Oliver and the rest of the crew. Oliver and the crew attempted an escape while rigging the ship to blow with gun powder however the only known survivor was Oliver who drifted off on a part of ship debris.
