Bill "Fives" Blackheart

## Traits

Fives is a straightforward person, they will tell you how they feel however their expression almost seems unwavering due to this. He attempts to stay calm and collected but at times he can come across as a very emotional person, letting his pride get the best of him. His humility is also very limited, he constantly lets his ego get the best of him, but he doesn't mind it he feels that his experience and time spent getting as far as he has is reason enough for his arrogance. However he has a disdain for other people, they are what have held him back in his eyes. He is concise with people that he doesn't know, but almost happier around people that he does. He enjoys those who can push him to be better than what he was moments before and hunger for battle with those who are his equal, though he doesn't mind fighting unfairly against those who are even beneath him. To him, there is no such thing as a fair fight.

## Goals & Motivation

* (Short term)Find a group of people that he can see as his old crew. He lost any reason to live or move forward without them but has decided to keep on living in this life. Furthering his strength so that he doesn't have to live without a “crew” again.
* (Long term)To live freely, in a world where he and his friends do not have to live in fear of other people's strengths or politics. Whether this means he has to get more powerful or more fame he doesn't care. He just wants to find a way where people will make way for him and those that he cares about so that they cant be harmed

## Physical strength

If there is one thing that Fives is good at he enjoys a good handshake. His metallic hand has given him a good grip that can practically crush other hands. Beyond just his single hand Fives is a toned person who simply doesn't mind getting up close with other people of his race, however, he knows that as a human is weak in comparison to others.

## Speed & Agility

Sticking with the theme of well-roundedness Fives is extremely agile for a human, in close combat with coordination or running long distances. He is capable of leaving most other people in the dust or closing distance between them in seconds. He is also able to maintain this speed with fully drawn weapons or covered in heavy armor, making him a speeding tank.

## Endurance and Stamina

Fives can fight for hours on end taking wounds that most people would find lethal. Endurance his his strength in that sense. Given his ability to cover long distances and fight for extended periods, he is good for tracking and large-scale battles. The only issue with this is numbers, when outnumbered, no matter the length of the battle Fives can be worn down, making it so that eventually his stamina runs out.

## Charisma & Intelligence

Charastmatically, Fives is very forward. Feelings are the least of his concerns, and he seems shrouded. Limited in friends and smothered in enemies of his past he has a distaste for people and basic interaction. However, he is honest with his few friends, to him they are his crew and he has no issue putting his full faith in them. On the other hand, Fives’ intellect is extreme, but it has its moments. He is capable of very deep thought, but in basic interactions, this can't be seen. However, in battle, it becomes very evident as his mind becomes poised as a tactician, capable of adapting to environments and situations as they may arise. Deep down he can be political and talk his way out, however, he would prefer to avoid the conflicts altogether.

## Combat ability

Fives is a very elusive fighter, someone who seems to be able to do so effortlessly, using a cutlass they seem to execute strikes with precision and speed, focusing on wearing down their enemy over killing them quickly. Acting as almost the wind itself, he has found a way to weave himself through opposing strikes and hit back with a fury of blows. In addition to his physical prowess, Fives has a mental fortitude that is equally formidable. He is capable of maintaining a sharp focus during battles and strategizing with the mind of a seasoned tactician. Adapting to change in circumstances, making him a leader on the battlefield.

## Skills

He is extremely resourceful and can be described as a survivalist, his skills are based on the ability to survive in many environments. Survival shelters, basic cooking, and many other abilities are within his arsenal, but at the end of the day, they are items he hopes to never have to use, given the situation they would need to be used within. Travelling/traversing different environments is also a simple task for him given his time and experience as a pirate. Whether it be land or sea Fives knows how to get across it efficiently and safely. Willing to travel at day, night, sun or shine he wont get lost and he will make it.

## Drawbacks/weaknesses

Besides his competence as a combatant, Fives has very little social amplitude, he doesn't like people. However, the dangerous thing is that he doesn't display these feelings to people. His disdain for others and their actions is something that he allows to build up within himself until he is ready to allow the feelings to go too far. However when he does like someone they do become a soft spot for him and often can be used against him disarming him in moments. His conviction either building up or disappears with them at risk. Oh and he's illiterate

## Early Life

Born into poverty, Fives and his family lived in an area where the nobility of the land used and often abused their working and lower class. Where Fives and his family resided was the worst of it, the inner part of the kingdom was closer to where the nobles and royals lived. This led quickly to scars appearing all across Fives' body as he was punished for anything he or his family did. This led to Fives’ distrust in people building up as one day he had no option, but to steal food. He had to find a way to eat for the day, however, the nobility did not care. To them, he was a bug in the way of their greater kingdom, so they cut off his hand. From then on Fives promised to come back and make them suffer before he was thrown out of the kingdom, on some remote beach that to this day he can't find. Eventually, a pirate ship would find him, and despite popular belief, the people on the ship were horrible to him. They patched up his hand and even allowed him to work for his stay, fairly. He ate more than he ever had and lived happily for a while.

## Recent life events

He spent all of his teen years up to when he was 20 on that ship. They taught him how to fight, how to travel, and how to live freely. It was the best feeling he had felt in a while, but of course, it wasn't going to be long until it all disappeared from him. Fives readied himself for something the captain had told them the crew was going to do. They intended on raiding a nearby kingdom, very close to where they had picked him up. Fives knew that this is where he was from, without a name even being said. His old kingdom was so dominant in the area he had no doubt. Little did he know prepping for this raid would be the last time he would have to spend with his crew. The raid quickly turned to a slaughter as someone within the crew tipped off the kingdom. They were ready for their approach and left no survivors in the onslaught that took place.

## Present life

Well, they left one. As fate would have it Fives survived, drifting in the ocean until he would eventually wash up on the land of Oracle. He brushed himself off and shed a single tear for his fallen comrades until he decided he would have to move on and let them live in his memory. Now he seeks a way to live freely with people he can call his crew, or his friends once more.
