High Seas part 1: fav.me/d7la4y2

Name: Roran Sureshot
Race/Gender: Human, male
Age: 30
Homeland: Karoria; Masillia
Class: Ranger

Roran was born in Karoria, in the city of Taren where his family resided. When he was three years old, a catastrophic fire destroyed their home, trapping his older brother inside with no hope for escape. Heartbroken with nothing left for them, they were forced to relocate to a town several miles to the north, where they settled into a new home next to the sea. The family rebuilt their life and lived there happily for quite some time.

However, at age ten, Roran and his friends came up with the idea to build a raft and go on their first sailing voyage. The boys gathered logs together, bound them to each other, and worked tirelessly to secure and perfect their raft. On the eve of their first voyage, Roran ran to his home to gather materials, and excitedly told his father of the voyage he was about to embark upon. His father forbid him to go, fearing the loss of his second child. Though Roran insisted it was safe, his father would not budge, and so the boy went to bed in disappointment.

Late in the night, he disobeyed his father's orders and snuck from the house to join his friends at the beach where they had prepared the raft for the voyage. They shoved off into the waves, heading for the distant island across the strait. At first the sailing was smooth, without a cloud to mar the starlit sky above. But soon a storm rolled in, and the water began to toss them too and fro. Thunder exploded above and rain poured down, and suddenly the raft was knocked asunder by the force of the waves. Roran tried his best to stay afloat, but he was at the mercy of the seas, and at the moment he knew that he was done for, he suddenly found himself in a mysterious landscape divided by a great gate. A hooded figure with a scythe stood before him, and told him that his life in Karoria had come to a close. He and his friends would perish in the sea that night. But the man offered him a choice - die at the hands of the sea, or be transported to a land far away from his home. Roran considered for a moment, realizing that either way he would never see his homeland or his family again, and chose to be sent away.

He awoke in a well-decorated bedroom, greeted by a man and his wife who both spoke some foreign language. The man then spoke in common, introducing himself as Jacques, a diplomat for the government of Masillia. He and his wife had heard a loud crack in the middle of the night, and gone outside to investigate to find Roran lying in the middle of the road. The boy was in perfect health, but had been warned by the hooded man never to speak of his previous life. Jacques and his wife took him in, and the boy joined their little family on the island of Masillia.

At age 25, Roran graduated from the Université de Burque at the top of his class. Jacques exercised some of his political power to get Roran a spot on the Crown's Elite Guard as an archer. Roran was to train and serve for ten years; after five years, however, he grew sick and tired of standing at the ramparts of a castle all day and staring into the distance. He asked to be moved to a more exciting unit where he could put his prodigious skills to use, but his request was shot down, and so Roran gathered his things and snuck away in the dead of night, finding passage out of Mundusinus on a ship.

Ooop, sorry for the wall of text. XD Roran has a slightly complex backstory. But he's our confident, cavalier captain and fearless leader! Roran was played by the same person who played Enzo, though the two have somewhat different personalities. Roran may or may not have been somewhat based on Captain Mal Reynolds from Firefly. XD

I should have High Seas Part 1 up by the end of the week. :D I'm so excited to get this started!
