## Appearance

A Tabaxi that stands at a good six feet and 8 inches tall, covered in short grey and black stripped fur with a pair of piercing blue eyes. Atop his athletic frame and build he wears a simple leather belt that goes across his torso and a smaller belt as a arm band. Covering his lower body are a pair of pants with the bottom of the legs rolled up.

Strapped on his back he carries a wood cutters axe that he uses as his primary weapon. He chose this weapon as most people dismiss it from being a weapon as it does not look like a normal Battle Axe and just like another wood axe used to cut fire wood. It was also one of the easiest weapons to find no matter where he was as he doesn't need to go to a specified weapons store or smith for it.

## Personality

Stern most of the time has a friendly and cheerful demeanour, greeting all with a smile and a wave. He tries to give every one the benefit of the doubt that they are a nice and good person, taking most of what they say and do at face value. Even during combat he still sometimes continue with this friendly attitude, at least when he is not focused on survival or killing the enemy in front of him. This does not mean that he is a friendly person all the time and to everyone. If you have show to be an enemy that has wronged him or those her cares about he will drop the polite attitude.

## History

Stern grew up on the island of Maskini with the other Tabaxi in their village. Like the other Tabaxi he does have the ability to use a form of magic but he doesn’t use it like a normal Wizard or Sorcerer and preferred to combine it with more melee based combat.

Growing up he had a few friends, no siblings, and was only an oddity in the way he used his magic but that was it. When he was about 10 he had gotten to talking to some crew of a ship that was passing through and decided he wanted to go out to sea to explore the bigger world.

He told his parents and friends that he was going to join the crew. He didn’t leave on bad terms with his parents but they were a little concerned but ultimately let him go so that he could discover what type of person he was (Not sure what Tabaxi culture is like in regards to people leaving so this can be changed). Turned out the ship was a pirate ship along with a merchant ship (selling the goods they stole) and that is what started him off as being a pirate. He stayed with them for a few years before he left to join a different pirate crew, the current pirate crew he is a part of now.

As one can expect with being a pirate he did quickly get a reputation among other pirates and the common folk that heard of him. It only took a few years before many pirate heard and feared the name Stern the Raiser, a name that he earned from setting many other ships (pirate and not) a blaze by a mere touch of his hand.
