• What You'll Get

  There are two aspects to Kotik's personality most will discover upon the first couple of meetings.
  
  Happy Go Lucky:
  
  The first is his light-hearted, boisterous, joyous male who just wants to drink until he can't feel taste and have a good time. Kotik is generous, always has a beat and a confident swagger to his walk, and chatters almost CONSTANTLY. Silence is nearly agonizing to the male and he'll happily compensate that with annoying babbling or unprompted storytelling.
  
  Outwardly appears incredibly vain and opinionated, but can also turn on the smolder and charm to get whatever he wants. Boy will not take no for an answer unless it's accompanied by a punch.
  
  Loves to brawl, bicker, have a back-and-forth and generally acts very much younger than he actually is. This tends to make people either love him or hate him as well as for his unfettered honesty. Nothing is ever on his mind because it's usually sent straight to his mouth.
  
  The Sick Sailor:
  
  Kotik's personality can turn on a dime if someone's struck the right nerve. Rigid, serious, and snarly, no one wants to cross a pissed off seal in a mood to hurt people. The disgusting, twisted, backward bastard that loved his sea dog days of raping, pillaging, torture, and even sennibalism.
  
  It's the part of him that shows the old male has had a less than rosey life, from being imprisoned several times for many reasons to being enslaved and sent to the Tether. Kotik managed to manipulate and con his way into the heart of a young Mistress who eventually gave him his freedom and a ship of his own.
  
  Though trying to run a respectable business and live a cleaner life, that aspect of him still runs hot and angry from all the hardship in his life. He despises equines and wyrmmes most of all: equines due to the much-disliked Tether guards, and wyrmmes because of the home that was ravaged by them that left him a child alone.
