___Tarcyn is certain he has an interesting past, he just can't remember anything about it. His earliest memory is washing up against the docks in Port Peril with nothing other than the clothes on his back, and those weren't in good shape either.
___With no idea of who he was, where he came from, or why was be in Port Peril, Tarcyn suffered some hard times at first; falling victim to hunger, thirst, the elements, or anyone who thought that the gnome looked like easy prey. However, as he became more acquainted with Port Peril, he began to realize that he possessed talents that could not only help him survive, but also have a little bit of fun. As great as his knack was for getting into trouble, he discovered he had an even greater knack for talking his way out of trouble. This came in handy, because his favoured form of entertainment and income was to trick and cheat those around him.
___It was through this that he discovered his knack for magic which quickly came in handy. But from the moment he first used his abilities to win at dice, he began to feel something he never had before. One day, he let his whims take him and he ended up standing in the same pool of water he had first woken up in. It was the first time he had touched the sea since that day and the first time he had ever felt at home. That moment he knew he belonged to the sea. So when he suddenly found himself pressed into service as a pirate surrounded by ocean on all sides he couldn't have been happier.
___Although Tarcyn is aware that he possesses magical talents, he is still unaware of his skills at sea and will be pleasantly surprised when these skills start to come to light. Why exactly he has them is a mystery, but one he is none too concerned with solving as long as they help him become the greatest pirate ever.
Personality:
Tarcyn is always happy. Always. And now that he is an official pirate (at least he thinks he is) he is happier than he has ever been. He is a prankster, loves to make mischief, loves to be the center of attention, and loves the feeling of living that comes with chaos. It probably helps that he has been able to talk himself out of any trouble he's ever been in(as far as he can remember) and has no reason to believe he can't continue to do so. He has a charm that few can withstand as well as a natural knack for solving problems. Unfortunately it is not uncommon for his solutions to result in even more problems.
Despite this attitude, he does not make friends easy. For one thing, his constant pranks and inability to tell when a joke is and isn't appropriate can make him a burden to be around. For another, he finds trust difficult. Although he doesn't let it show, the violence and loneliness he experienced when he first crawled out of the water have led him to believe that no one ever looks out for anyone but themselves and that any time someone is talking someone is lying.
He pays homage to Besmara as he has always had a fascination with the life of a pirate and her desire for constant discord and commotion fits well with his personality.
Appearance:
At just three feet tall, it is possible for tall folks (as he refers to anyone taller than a dwarf) to overlook Tarcyn. However, they aren't likely too for long before he becomes the center of some mischief. He has green hair that matches the color of seaweed and skin the shade of the open ocean. He is constantly and inexplicably surrounded by the vague scent of an ocean breeze, though few are likely to notice when the same smell is already present.
