Bender Of Iron Will

Played by Pirate

The crew

  • Reoccuring NPCs

    When aboard his ship, Bender has a few reoccurring characters that keep the mood alive on board.

    Norin

    Norin Redbeard: First mate

    Norin is the most trusted pirate aboard Bender's ship. His experience and clever thinking as well as loyalty make him a great ally. The Dwarf gets along with just about anyone. He's got a cheery personality, yet is very business driven and commands respect from the crew.

    description

    Norin is a very broad man and looks very pirate-like indeed. He had a mop of thick red hair and a large beard that had been tucked in between his belt. His nose was on the large side and his eyes seemed rather beady in comparison. His mouth isn't visible through his beard. Unlike most Dwarves, though, the man doesn't adorn his beard with anything.

    The Dwarf wears a black shirt and fitting pants as well as two pistols that had been tucked in between the belt. His left leg was a copper peg with a round disk that served as a foot. Finally, on his shoulder was a large green parrot named Mr. Pickle.


    Hooke

    Galgahar Hooke: Second mate

    Hooke and Bender go way back, and seems to be the complete opposite of Norin. Where Norin is a joy to be around, Hooke is a grumpy, violent and quick-tempered Orc. He believes himself to be better than the common sailors, and has no problem voicing his opinions. He doesn't easily get along with people he doesn't respect, and the way he commands respect from the crew is with an iron fist.

    Hooke is second in line to become the captain of the ship should Bender one day die. He has what it takes to keep a crew of pirates under control, all while still holding on to a sense of honour. Hooke and Bender have great respect for one another.

    description

    A tall, imposing figure, easily mistaken to be Bender at first glance. He stands as tall and broad as the captain, but he is clearly an Orc. His square jaw, dark green skin and tall fangs tell enough about him. One eye is covered by a black eye patch, while his other eye is light blue and can pierce a man's soul. His long and shaggy white hair flows over his pointy ears and barely reaches past his neck. He also wears a long brown overcoat and a high-born shirt of what seems to be red velvet.

    His black trousers are made of silk and his boots are adorned with feathers. For an Orc he certainly looked of noble birth. On his back is a musket, and his right hand had been replaced by a bronze hook, after which he was named.


    Solst

    Solst Firescale: Punisher, keeps an eye on the crew and makes sure no one kills one another.

    Solst is a strange creature. A Lizard from the Firescale clan. The beastman is quite imposing and is even capable of breathing fire, much like a dragon. Add to his fierce claws and you've got yourself a deadly mixture.

    Solst is regarded as a strong addition to crew. During fights he has proven himself to be more than capable. Bender Of Iron Will respects the Firescale's power, and in trade Solst aids him in his time of need. Even though Solst doesn't speak the Common Tongue, he co-exists in peace with the other pirates.

    Description

    Solst is a Lizard with dark red scales and large white coloured fins on the back of his neck. His armour was made out of boiled leather and had many chains tied to it. A white coloured fin that looks like a mohawk rests upon his head. The tail is a rather short one, though. It might be a stubby thing, but it's very sturdy and packs quite the punch.


    Red

    Red: Quartermaster and cook supervisor of the ship's cook

    Red is an imposing man. His gaze is enough to reflect how he feels about a situation, as he has no other way to talk. As a former slave, his tongue had been ripped out of his mouth. He does not know how to write, so people can only know what he wants via suggestions or by looking into his eyes to find out how he feels about a certain situation, which is very difficult for anyone untrained in sign language. Red hardly shows much emotion. Though as a man who's past one can only guess, he's a valuable asset to the crew as he is the one who knows most about maintaining guns.

    Description

    Red is a giant of a man with a barrel-sized chest and a very muscled physique. His arms are very wide, as are his legs. This mixed with his size make him a man to be feared during a fistfight. He has got long blood red hair and a clean shaven face that would look quite handsome if it hadn't been as scarred as it. On his chest one can barely see that there was once a tattoo that said "Property of Marshall Winsor", though it seems to be crudely cut out with a knife. Scars covered the tattoo and never did quite heal. It is a mess of torn open flesh and scabs.


    Ambras

    Ambras T'laros: Lookout

    Ambras is as tall as he is racist and paranoid. This Drow is a firm believer of conspiracy theories and believes, like almost all Drow, that his race is superior. He is not afraid to voice these opinions either, making him one of the less liked members on board. In fact, he's a lookout simply for the fact that Bender would have a valid reason to keep him as far away from him as possible. Ambras is a member of the crew simply because he is the most deadly member on board of the ship. Having spent half his life an assassin, he is a great asset during combat.

    Description

    Ambras keeps his face covered behind a wide shawl that he never seems to remove. His clothing is made of black dyed, supple leather, which looks like it's easy to move in. A piece of rope acts as his belt, on which all sorts of knives and toxins cling. His skin is pitch black while his long silky hair is snow white.


    Garret (Zephyr's Bane only)

    Gary Garret: Unofficial advisor, keeps his fellow Cannith turncoats under control

    Garret is a strapping gentleman. Having lived his life as a soldier, the man knows loyalty like no other. Despite the fact he has past the age of forty, Garret looks like he's about thirty. Though he keeps it hidden from plain sight, the man has a Dragonmark over his neck and chest, shaped like a viper. Despite being of House Cannith, he never quite made it far in the ranks. He didn't really have to in order to be happy. He never was one for politics after all. The man has a very neutral demeanour, never seeming too happy or too gloomy. He is, however, extremely dependable and more than likely to put his own life on the line to save an allies' life.

    Garret's last job was aiding Bender Of Iron Will in retrieving tech from a laboratory that had been struck by the Mourning. Having had naval experience, it was only natural he aid Bender in managing the Elemental Ship he was supposed to safeguard. However, the Mournland changed that. Many of his soldiers died over what was nothing but a couple of prototypes and blueprints. These soldiers may never know rest in the Mournland. Because of this he gave Bender no trouble when he decided to betray House Cannith and steal their ship.

    Description

    Garret is a tall and skinny man, covered in small scars from the times when he nearly faced death. Most were on his face, which are invisible due to his impressive thick black beard. The man's hair is thick and long. Despite the fact he's reached forty years in age he barely looks thirty. On board of the ship he prefers to wear a simple green shirt and long leather trousers. On his hip hangs his exquisite looking sabre, which he has dubbed 'Snakebite'.


    Vish'Krag (Zephyr's Bane only)

    Vish'Krag: Greater Storm Elemental, powers the ship

    Vish'Krag has many forms, and all of them look pissed off. This Greater Storm Elemental has been captured by House Cannith and its very presence powers the ship. Via levers on its prison one can control the pipes which lead to the outside, giving the ship its speed. Vish'Krag leads a lonely and spiteful existence, constantly pleading for freedom and trying to trick people into pulling the lever that would finally set him free. Despite his pleas, Bender does not wish to set it free. He has promised him that if anything should happen to the ship that will cause it to sink, the first order would be to set Vish'Krag free. But unsurprisingly, the Elemental harbours no trust in the word of a thief and chronic liar.

    Description

    As stated before, Vish'Krag can manipulate its body to take the shape of many other beings. But no matter the shape, the matter of its body never changes. Its body will always look as though its a twisting tornado, blackish grey in colour. The wind will also generate electricity from time to time.

  • Connections

    Close allies

    		Raine Asawa (played by InquisitorCat)
    A warrior woman Bender hired in search for an ancient recepy for Dwarven liqour. Though she is clearly not at home on a pirate ship, Bender has found her very useful aboard the ship. Not to mention she has proven herself very reliable during worst case scenarios.
    		Flavio (played by XinonHyena)
    The gunner aboard Zephyr's Bane. Bender and Flavio have a long history, not all of it good. But due to recent events Bender has considered Flavio to be one of his few staunch allies he can rely on.
    		Chasu Maru (played by Zelphyr)
    Magic advisor aboard Zephyr's Bane. Chasu Maru is mostly disliked aboard the ship, but even Bender must admit he has his uses. The construct has powers Bender can't even begin to comprehend. This is probably the only reason he even keeps him and his big mouth around.
    		Nailati Salazar (played by Mist)
    The 'other' magic advisor aboard Zephyr's Bane. Picked up on the way to Reharig'tovresa because he and Chasu Maru have history. Bender considers him his most eccentric drinking buddy, but enjoys his company the most because it pisses of Chasu.

    People who need their face smashed in

    		Zayne Asawa (played by InquisitorCat)
    A madman, and one in power at that! The crazed king Zayne removed the captain's arm, seized his ship and held his crew captive. Freed from his clutches, the old captain vowed not to rest until he hears the mad king plead for death by his hand.

    Distant allies

    		Arien Chase (played by PenGryphon2007)
    An adventurer he picked up during one of his odd-jobs. Bender respects the man's swordplay and tenacity in combat

  • People loving Bender

    • "A character worth recognition. Never have I met such a pirate-y character. I actually feel I am dealing with pirates when it comes to ol' Bender. He is so well thought out, so believable, and so funny! I am surprised every day by what Bender has to offer and I always look forward to what he will do next. This old bugger is one heck of a pirate. Make sure you don't get on his bad side."
      -- InquisitorCat
    • "As a rather ugly, slightly cripple and grumpy bastard Bender is a refreshing and fun character to interact with.

      The character is amazingly balanced and while he has cool abilities he also has a good personality and limitations to go along with it, as such Bender can make any story more interesting."
      -- XinonHyena
