Janson Cabette

Janson Cabette was a captain serving under the North Sea Raiders Fleet, but later left to serve under Arevik Haber and New Kepia. At the time of the starting scenario, he is lying undercover as a well known duelist in the Pandeli Dueling Club.

## History

Born in a poverty stricken slum of Avalon, Janson spent most of his early life aspiring to join the military in pursue of a better life. Upon joining up, he served with them for a number of campaigns against Prith, though at one point his company ended up being ambushed. Managing to escape the ambush by sailing out to sea, Janson was discovered and promptly taken in as a prisoner by scouting ships from The Isles.

Janson would go on to spend a number of years as an anonymous prisoner of war doing labor in The Isles. He eventually escaped, and ended up sailing westward. Near death from starvation and dehydration, he was discovered by Vander near The Broken Lands, and was taken in as a member.

Janson quickly found a family and home amongst the North Sea Raiders, and eventually became a high ranking captain under them. During the Battle of Hakobyan's Gulf, he saw a number of friends perish at the hands of the Kepian government, and decided then to seek revenge. In contrast, Vander's hesitance to continue the conflict angered him, which gradually led him to become closer to Arevik. He also viewed Vander's hesitation as a sort of subservience to Kepia, which he absolutely could not accept, as his entire world view of the North Sea Raiders was built on freedom and independence.

## Personality

### Headstrong and Proud

Janson is a very prideful individual, displaying a confident and charismatic personality to his peers. Highly skilled in combat and holding a high social position both during his time aboard the North Sea Fleet and also while undercover in Pandeli, Janson possesses a sort of confidence in his own self often only found in veterans who have spent their entire lives dedicated to a given profession. While not arrogant, he often takes for granted his ability to come out of any situation unscathed.

Having dedicated the past year or so to being the uncontested champion of the Pandeli Dueling Club, Janson has developed the tendency to be a crowd pleaser. He will often try to show off when doing things, and can get slightly irritated when his abilities are challenged. In most cases, the easiest way to make him do something seems to be loudly assuming that he can't do said thing.

Actions that Janson have taken due to others directly insisting that he wouldn't be able to do so include but are not limited to:

* Attempting to woo Filianor Tor (the only thing he hasn't succeeded at)
* Jumping naked off the highest point on Sohail Castle
* Multiple 2 vs 1 and 3 vs 1 fights at the Dueling Club
* Challenging members of Riptide's Galley to Kepian Roulette (put on hold when the air was saturated with so much alcohol that it was nearby spectators to start fainting from alcohol overdose)
* Ingesting an entire bottle of Element of Dawn.

### Tolerant and Accepting

Although somewhat prideful, Janson by no means looks down on those around him. The charisma he gained performing in the Dueling Club makes him easy to get along with, and he is quick to make friends with most. He generally doesn't allow initial impressions to heavily influence how he interacts with new people, and as a result is in good standing with a large number of people throughout Pandeli.

### Free Spirited

Having spent almost half his life as an Avalonian prisoner of war on the Isle of Dogs prior to joining up with Hawking, Janson has lived through his fair share of suffering, and possesses a strong desire for freedom and independence. This freedom was found as a member of the North Sea Fleet, where he lived a relatively happy life amongst fellow companions.

After the fallout between Hawking and Arevik, Janson decided to join the latter, as he felt Hawking's reluctance to oppose Kepia to be contradictory with his own desire for freedom and independence from other powers.

### Obsessive

Having once been a high ranking captain serving under Hawking and now as the top fighter of the Dueling Club, Janson expects and pushes himself to do all things at a level above the average person. Once given an objective, he will often go about tackling it an almost obsessive amount of focus. It is generally very difficult to make him give up on doing something once he has set his mind to it, if not outright impossible.
