Kai was born into a hidden village in the Mwangi, where his people learned to live in harmony with the beasts that called the jungle home. Often utilizing the larger creatures to aid in their hunts and everyday life. While he was out hunting he was captured by Bekyar Slavers, from their he was taken to the nearest port town and sold off as a slave when he was very young. He was forced to spend his early years learning to survive the abuses of his masters. He eventually succeeded in escaping during a violent storm near the shackles. From there he washed ashore near Port Peril and eventually found work performing heavy labor around the docks. As he grew into adulthood he proved to be one of the biggest Lizardfolk many had ever seen around Port Peril, he enjoyed his work as a dock worker. The long hours and labor kept his simple mind distracted, so long as he was distracted he didn't have as much penchant for violence. He often worked for a third of what most people made, as he was quite prone to his drink and was often placated with that instead of the other two thirds of his pay. Being such a simple creature he didn't know the difference between cheap ale and expensive whiskey. He just enjoyed getting drunk off his scales and shortly after that brawling with other patrons. His younger years had perfected him into quite the brute... It was during one of these brawls, after many hours of cheap drink in the Formidable Maid that he was confronted by a superior group of fighters. Despite handling himself well he found himself outmatched by a group of rough-looking characters who ganged up on him and knocked him unconscious. Fortunately, he was able to conceal his brass knuckles when he was press-ganged. From there he had little to distract his mind, he was a terrible boatswain, rigging confused him, cabin boy chores angered him and finding himself being tormented only proved to drive him to bloodshed. Which in turned proved he was still difficult to control until they started giving him cheap grog. He spent many a drunken stupor chained in the bowels of the ship where he couldn't fight the rest of the crew. He was brought on deck whenever a fight with other ships broke out, which is where he excelled at boarding the enemy ship and tearing apart its crew with his vicious strikes. He often grappled enemies or kicked them overboard with his punishing kick, he was a force to reckon with. However he preferred a straight up fight over guns, finding them too complicated for his tastes. The chains never held him for long and so he would spend long hours, whittling away the time through strength training. A trick he learned from the scaleless years ago. It was a few weeks ago that they overtook a ship carrying exotic beasts it was then that Kai found his newest companion Seti. A winged scaly beast that no one had ever seen, he killed three sailors to reach the creature and strangely enough the pair became fast friends. The creature was native to his homeland, a place now more of a dream then a memory and somehow he remembered how to treat the beast. This helped to calm Kai immensely much to the relief of the crew, however he began to train the creature intensely which only made the crew more nervous... As he was training it primarily for hunting and fighting. Current Status
If that happens it was more than likely that neither of them would survive the lizardfolks rage if it unleashed its fists on them. He is wounded after a recent lashing for resisting... It's there hope to sell him once they reach an appropriate port... Appearance Standing at nearly seven feet tall and heavily muscled, Kai is covered in scars from the many fights he has survived, his forearms and fists bare the most scars. Having been stabbed while pinning and beating his opponents to death with his bare fists. His underbelly sports a few wicked scars from injuries that would have easily killed a regular man, however his natural armor protected him from the worst of it along with his quick reflexes. His scales are black while his underbelly is a dull grey like unpolished steel. His only remaining eye is a yellowish color akin to a snake. Personality
Killer He's a predator and anything that he deems prey better run. Aiming to cripple or kill opponents quickly before moving onto the next, he fights on instinct. Allowing his unpredictable movements to be the downfall of his enemies. Quiet He rarely ever talks, having a rough understanding of the language but never taught how to speak it. He prefers to speak in his own tongue over that of his captors. Determined Survivor Aside for the brutal way he fights he will always look to ensure his survival in any fight. Whether the means using an opponent as a shield and leaping over a cliff edge and using them as a way to break his fall or merely running away so that he can return later and kill his opponent. Naive and easily swayed He is easily duped or tricked, most give him alcohol, which he accepts gladly having acquired a taste for the burning sensation and odd sensation that it often induced. However he responds to pain with painto those that mistreat or attack him. Often not relenting until they were unconcious or dead. Except for drink no one has ever treated him more then a ignorant savage...

Old Kai'itza:
[spoiler=Being A Quartermaster and First Mate] QUARTERMASTER In most cases, the quartermaster is the second in command of a pirate ship. In the simplest of terms, the quartermaster's job is to act as a distributor of rations, work duty, treasure or punishment. As the individual in charge of the ship's stores, the quartermaster often possesses more power than the captain does. Because the quartermaster also keeps custody of all weapons on board the ship, mutineers often try to sway her to their cause. The quartermaster's powers stem from the typical pirate's distrust of authority. Rather than simply hand all the power over to the captain, most pirate crews prefer to split the duties of running the ship between the captain and the quartermaster. While the captain leads in battle and deals with the duties of navigating the ship, the quartermaster usually commands boarding parties and keeps custody of any booty taken. The quartermaster's duties also include deciding what of a prize's cargo is worth taking. While coins, precious metals and gems are almost always taken, the quartermaster must decide what other valuables to take. This is usually based on the availability of space in her ship's hold, the potential trade value of other cargo in the pirates' port of call and other factors. If the quartermaster decides that some item of the booty is infeasible, the treasure is usually burned or - in the case of fine spirits or other foods -, consumed by the crew. Once the booty is safely on board the pirates' ship, the quartermaster has the job of seeing it divided amongst the crew. Exactly how much each man or woman earns is usually laid out in the crew's Articles of Piracy (see below). A typical arrangement is that the captain earns one and a half shares, other senior officers earn one and a quarter shares, and the rest of the crew earns a single share each. Though in most cases any crewman has the right to challenge the quartermaster's division of treasure, there is seldom much serious dispute. Finally, the quartermaster is also responsible for doling out punishment for any infractions of the Articles of Piracy. Although the captain usually proscribes the punishment, the quartermaster must carry it out, though she has the right to refuse. This ensures that any punishment, be it a simple forfeiture of a crewman's share of booty or a marooning, is the will of at least two individuals. The quartermaster also has the authority to act as a mediator and witness in duels between individual crewmembers. FIRST MATE

(Made this item up from scratch it doesn’t provide really any benefits but comfort and role-playing ability, is like a rain poncho but actually gives off a small degree of warmth like a sun warmed rock. I assumed masterwork cost for armor and a small fee for the enchantment magic.) Keeps subject warm in moderate weather and repels water. Backpack :

[spoiler= Appearance]
At approximately seven feet tall, weighing 230 lbs, Kai’itza is an imposing sight, his body is covered in varying shades of grey scales that seems to deflect some notice away from his toned athletic build, and many have lost their nerve when faced with his molten-gold colored eyes. His tail is four feet long and helps him maintain his balance while he performs his daily tasks. He has a three frills that usually lay flat when he is at ease and flare out whenever he is excited, agitated or listening. The frills about his ears are shorter and less pronounced then the frill that runs from the peak of his forhead and runs down to the backside of his neck. Unlike many among his tribe his skin is fairly uniform and even, he bares some elbow spurs but other then that his body is very smooth looking much like a snake.
[spoiler=Personality]
Kai’itza is both a fearless and determined individual, who is prone to spacing out whenever he looks out to sea, he believes in working hard to obtain what you want and never slacks off when he has obligations or a goal to complete. He is easily fascinated with new trinkets or complex tools and will spend hours studying an object, so long as there is no threats or anything to cuse him to be unease. He is very loyal to those whom he shares a common bond with; he won’t betray his allies or friends even if his life is on the line. He is very energetic while the sun is up and the skies and seas are warm, he tends to get lethargic when his environment starts to get colder. He spends much of his leisurely time either training, working out or practicing his skills. He enjoys games as well but doesn't understand the concept of gambling and his inquisitive nature has gotten him into trouble many times.
[spoiler=Some Back-story on Kai'itza- its fairly wordy so you've been warned~ WIP]
In simpler times his name was Kaitza, which meant ‘Justified One’, he was one of the small but hardy lizardmen tribe of The Oklin’houla. His tribe was one of the few that during the evacuation decided to take the fight to the demon army that came to prevent the exodus. Khaitza was very young back then and it had been an act of desperation when he was handed his first true spear without completing the rite of adulthood first. The greatest shamans and mages of the land had constructed a gateway so that an exodus could occur. The gateway was constructed up in the Broken Steppes Mountains as a sort of precaution against the demon army that was approaching. By using the rough terrain and the many brave warriors at their disposal they hoped to buy the time needed to open the gateway. They marched to meet the enemy alongside the Gnoll warriors of the Broken Steppes mountain tribes, who for generations had been their tribes foes. But all of that was cast aside when the day the worlds skies turned dark and everything as they knew it changed forever around them. One time enemies became allies as the greatest threat reared its ugly head and the gods seemed to turn their backs on their children. So when the Gnolls of the Broken Steppes and his tribe engaged the enemy using guerrilla tactics, they proved their bravery by bloodying the demons that marched towards the fleeing masses. They killed hundreds of the enemy that day but could do nothing to stop the demon armies advance, only slow it through blood and sacrifice. Even as casualties mounted they continued to fight the demons back, determined to hold them until the gates opened and the exodus could begin. The enemy pushed them slowly back across the dried out river beds of what were once lush rainforest's, they were forced to leave the unmoving forms of many of their brother's broken in the cracked earth of once great marshes and ancient wetlands, nourishing the parched earth with their life blood. Finally they were forced to fall back further and further into the mountains their forces were forced to separate and defend the twin mountain passes that would, if left undefended, give the enemy direct access to path that lead to the gateway. Kai'itza looked towards the unfinished gate high upon the ridge behind them, a few miles away from where they held the mountain pass, waiting to see a great doorway open and the call to retreat. As the demon army made their way up the pass and towards their entrenched position the tribe gave them a taste of their greatest weapons. Darkwood had grown in
So when the enemy was nearing the gap to funnel into the passes they were being riddled with arrows from the darkwood bows of the lizard-folk warriors. As they pushed up the steep incline of the pass they were greated by a hail of shortspears as they came further into range. When they finally made the final push into the first line of the lizardfolk, they felt sting of their spears and warblades... They had taken the bait and were now feeling the hook dig in... The enemy was so full of their own hubris that they had marched them selves straight into a well devised choke point, a 'Kill Box' the humans called it. Using the natural terrain the pass caused them to fight in tighter quarters and the demons greater numbers didn't mean anything now that they were being funneled into the lizard-folk warriors. They allowed themselves to be goaded into fighting where the lizardfolk and human warriors had wanted, they were trapped between pushing against the masses marching forward and the focused wrath of the enemy in front of them. Hubris would cost them and cost them dearly it did. The enemies casulties piled High as the lizardfolk continued to bring down anyone foolish enough to be pushed within reach. For several minutes the forward momentum of the demon army had effectively been brought to a halt. A battle of attrition had begun, and neither side was going to yield to other anytime soon, even though the armies of the Alliance had stopped the forward moment of the demon armies advance. They lacked the numbers to suppress the inevitable push that would occur when their numbers dwindled enough that the enemy overpowered them and when that happens all will be lost. Khaitza
