Rye Stormforged is a bit of a cad fond of gaming, drinking and carousing. However there is more to him lurking below the surface, he is gregarious, perhaps a bit slow to trust, but good natured and sees everyone as a potential friend. He has a story for every occasion and he believes everyone has a story waiting to be told. He is a fierce defender of his friends but cares little about what others think. It's not that he doesn't care about others but he believes that his well-being takes priority over theirs. He is quick witted and, unfortunately, his mouth is equally as quick as his wit, which has gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.
Appearance:
Rye stands a little over six feet tall with a thin but well-muscled build, he looks older than his years and carries himself with an air of confidence. He is well tanned, and wears an eye patch over his left eye with his lone eye being grey, like the sky before a storm. He has shoulder length dark black hair with a luxurious mustache, a small goatee, and long sideburns that extend to his chin. No matter the weather he is always wearing a dark long cloak and a chain shirt worn under a loose white shirt. He always has his rapier within easy reach.
Background:
It was after sunrise and the merchant vessel, Serenity, limped along on an eastward tack, listing to its starboard side. The ship was badly damaged and the crew knew it was lucky to have survived the storm that held the vessel in its clutches the past three days.
As the Serenity crawled along, the crew started to spot wreckage from another vessel, not as lucky as theirs. At first, they spotted a bit of a spar, then some line, and finally part of the mizzen. Shortly, they spotted three barrels floating in the water and the crew of the Serenity whooped with excitement at the prospect of recovering these treasures offered up by the sea.
The first barrel the crew fished from the sea was labeled peaches and the second was labeled oranges. The contents of the barrels were unspoiled and would go a long way in replenishing the ships stores. The third barrel sat a little lower in the water and was labeled Rye. Much to the surprise of the crew the barrel didn’t contain Rye. Rather, it contained a boy of about four years of age.
The boy was nursed to health but had no memory of his life before being found by the Serenity. He was given the first name Rye, taken from the barrel from which he was found, and the last name Stormforged as it appeared he was born of the storm that destroyed his ship. The captain of the Serenity kept him on as an assistant cabin boy and eventually Rye earned the right to be called a member of the crew.
With the death of the Serenity’s Captain, Rye has struck out on his own hoping to find fame, fortune, and adventure along the Razor Coast.
