Frederick Blackguard

Basic Stats

• "There are old soldiers and there are bold soldiers, but there are very few old, bold soldiers."
  
  Please note: Frederick Blackguard prefers and will vocalize his preference for being referred to as Major, or simply as "sir" if your character is serving or studying under him.
  
  Still a WIP; this character's canon is complete, but this RPR is still being actively edited since I still find it kind of unfocused and unwieldy at the moment. If I'm online and not actively roleplaying, I'm likely tweaking the Major's design or working on character art for him and Urxhes. Please feel free to break me out from my stupour of refining his design, I'm very whisper friendly and could probably use a break.

• Page Disclaimer

  I do not expect anyone to read everything I have on this page. If you like the idea of your character interacting with an old soldier trying to make his fortune again for any reason, throw me a whisper and tell me so. I'm looking forward to roleplaying Frederick, and I'm looking forward to roleplaying with you! It doesn't have to be some big, sweeping roleplay that knocks everybody's socks off and cements our future as some ultra-legendary long-term para-RP players who become the rahs of the Golden Tether because of how great our posts were, sometimes the greatest fun comes just from some characters behaving as they might behave in a setting around one another. If you're online and I'm online, let's RP!
  (but if you're going to throw a post at me, please do send me a whisper first as I might not be fully paying attention to my Furc client at the time)
  
  The following applies to the chart above.
  
  * I would prefer to assume in the context of roleplay that any time that has passed between RPs OOC has also passed IC, unless otherwise noted. I find it easier to keep track of events that way.
  
  ** Frederick does indeed have a sex drive and is more than willing to explore that. He is not intended as a necessarily sexual character however, and I would prefer to explore his militaristic, entrepreneurial side through RP than his sexual side as a general rule. Let's play to our strengths however if Frederick and another character get involved with one another in that way. In the event that his kinks do get brought up, I would prefer to just hint at them here in that he is more than a little interested in the world of BDSM, and is entirely a switch character, equally pleased with being either dom or sub depending on his partner.
  
  *** I don't have any hard and fast rule about post sizes. Write what seems necessary and what posting time allows. Good RP is good RP no matter what size the posts are.
  
  **** Frederick feels the pangs of loneliness just like anyone else, but would it be prudent to make a large gesture of love with his fortunes in shambles as they are? The right partner would have to come along and convince him to put aside his misgivings about the future for him to consider pursuing any sort of romance.
  
  ***** I fully intend to have Frederick die one day, but this will be after I've played out some of the plots I want to see him act in, and at a time where it will serve as a dramatic death that has consequence and repercussion. So far, this is a vague, unspecified time in the future. You will not have the privilege of killing my character until I explicitly decide it's time for him to go.

• Description

  The following details are for my own reference and explicit roleplay information only, of course. I don't expect anyone to read them intently.
  
  HEAD
  The Weimaraner's hair was once a light brown, but it has now mostly turned grey. Many hairs are still tipped in his original brown, giving him a natural dichromatic hue. He has not showed any signs of balding however, and keeps his luxuriously long hair in a sensible ponytail. It currently reaches to his lower back, as he keeps it long as a point of pride. His one remaining eye is still a vibrant yellow, and although his scarred, thick brows lend to a more geriatric appearance, a single, quick look at his eye would tell anyone that a fire still burns brightly within him. He lost his right eye years ago, and keeps the milky-white right eye hidden under a simple patch, although sometimes he'll show it to children for a laugh. The fur on his jowls has been allowed to grow long, but he keeps it nice and trim every single day.
  
  TORSO
  If one were to see the canine without a shirt on, it would be hard not to notice the dreadful state of his upper back. Frederick has been on the receiving end of the lash many times, thanks in no small part to his shameful time as a lowly galley slave, and there are places were the scarification is so bad that the fur will simply not grow there anymore. Strip after strip of skin was taken off his back, and he bears horrendous marks from the past. Otherwise, he keeps himself in extremely good shape, presenting a lean body with very intentional muscle definition. His muscular arms and shoulders are excellent indicators of his obvious old man strength.
  
  LEGS AND TAIL
  Another noticeable part of the Weimaraner's anatomy that draws back to his less successful and more shameful times is the fact that he does not have a tail. There is an evil-looking scar where it used to be, before it was cut off as a rather extreme way of breaking him into an intended life of slavery aboard the galleys. It is somewhat of a figurative sore spot for the dog, but fortunately he didn't have a large tail to begin with. As far as his legs, he has very well-defined muscles for the purpose of long-distance running. He keeps a very regimented fitness regime geared towards exactly that, and his physique reflects that aim. He's got a nice booty, too.
