APPEARANCE

Age 44 | Height 4'6" | Weight 211 lbs. | Hair Red-Orange | Eyes Copper | Complexion Grey Relatively tall for a dwarf, duergar or otherwise, Ottokar is also heavy-set, which proved unfortunate for a man around water so often but a common issue for dwarven sailors. Built like a slab of stone, with an ashen skin tone match, and cooling magma-tone hair in a short cut on his head and longer but still stylized beard. As a rule, Ottokar has what might be called a ‘resting glower;’ his heavy, lidded eyes seem dour and tired often even during his more active bouts, and he certainly can get very active. This constancy, however, can be reassuring in its own way; a companion can find comfort in that steady tone and demeanor, and measure the severity of a threat by how much it breaks. Though no stranger to the sun, Ottokar still clearly favors less sunny environs, matching his seemingly less sunny disposition. Of note, that seeming is just that; though appearing dour and deadpan, Ottokar is no wet blanket. He does enjoy a good scrap, though, which can get him in trouble

 

BACKGROUND

Pirate Source Player's Handbook Personality Traits: To me, a tavern brawl is a nice way to get to know a new city. Ideals: I'm a predator, and the other boats on the rivers are my prey.  Bonds: I'm loyal to my captain first, everything else second. Flaws: I follow orders, even if I think they're wrong. Bad Reputation: No matter where you go, people are afraid of you due to your reputation. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offenses, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activity to the authorities. BACKSTORY Born among the grey dwarves of Fellstrok, beneath the Hold of Belkzen, Ottokar was brought up among that dour and toilsome people with all the lessons a duergar is fit to have. His father was a slaver, one who delved beyond Nar-Voth and into Sekamina to take prisoners of the svirfneblin and others of the deeper realms, and there took to one of the great underground rivers there to act as a pirate of the deeps. It was here that Ottokar first learned his own trade, to run a fast riverine vessel and to fight with rope and manacle and fist. Hard toil was the way of things, as fitting for a culture sworn to Droskar, but his father also instilled in him the loyalty of the crew; dangers of the Sekamina waterways required loyalty and unity, and this was drilled into him and carried on even after his father was eaten by a tentacled monstrosity of the river and the crew passed into the hands of Ottokar's father's first mate. Unfortunately, loyalty ended up being his first downfall, as well. The new captain was far more ambitious than Ottokar's father had been, and eventually used the wealth amassed by their slaving and raiding to fund an attempt at seizing power in Fellstrok. Though Ottokar found it distasteful, he would not betray the man he felt he was sworn. The plot was ill-concieved and led to the death of not only the would be usuper-captain and many of Ottokar's crew, and the exile of Ottokar himself as he fled not down, but up. Passing up into the Hold of Belkzen he took to the rivers once more, bartering his skills to earn passage down the rivers there into Lake Encarthan, and from there further on. He passed time as a dockside rowdy, longshoreman, stevedore, and rouster galore, as well as petty-criminal that earned him a reputation of sorts. Eventually he plied his traded all the way up into the River Kingdoms, seeking to both put more and more distance between his exiled home as well as seek that old life he had been raised in. The riverine pirates of the River Kingdoms fit the bill perfectly. Before long he'd thrown in with a Brevoyian outcast who had taken to piracy to fund his own ambitions; this may demonstrate that Ottokar has a poor judgement for picking leaders. The crew reaved their way along the rivers, amassing wealth and reputation... and eventually leading to that Brevoyan outcast seeking to return in blood and glory to his home, but received only the former. Captured, he gave up his crew in a vain attempt to save himself from the noose. Captured, Ottokar found himself pressed into service to avoid the gallows himself, sent into the amusingly named Stolen Lands as a colonist... Some day, though, he still vows... he will find a true captain worth the loyalty he gives.

Purchased a Block and Tackle, Grappling Hook, Crowbar, Hammer, and Spikes with starting currency. Seems fitting tools for a one time dock worker and sailor and might even be useful. 
 

Unless I missed something, should be done.
