This is a player character for our Burning Wheel campaign called "The Governor's Daughter (http://erdtman.com/holken/burning-wheel/)." The game starts as the pirate ship where Patric is First Mate, and Jonathan the Master Helmsman, has just sunk one of the local governor's ships, and in doing so kidnapped the governor's own daughter and Marcel the ship's doctor.
We're playing a semi-historical game set in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy 1670-1730. We're of course influenced by the Pirates of Caribbean movies, but want to turn the humor way down low, and are going for a much grittier and darker pirate-based game.
Name: Marcel den Ouden
Concept: Kidnapped Ship's Doctor and Adventurer
Lifepaths: City Born - Student - Tax Collector - Ship's Doctor
Age: 28
Stats: Wi: B6, Pe: B4, Po: B6, Fo: B4, Ag: B3, Sp: B2

Resources: B0
Relationships:

Weapons:
Bare Fist (Hands of Iron): I B4, M B7, S B10, Add 2, VA 0, Fast, Shortest
Beliefs:
I want the Governor's daughter's love, but for that I must first win the crew's respect.
I want to see places, species, plants that no one else has seen, and return to civilization with the evidence.
He who kills for profit deserves the gallows, and therefore I will make these pirates will pay with their own lives.
Instincts:
Always curious.
Never use deadly force.
When questioned, I intimidate.
Traits:
Hard-Hearted (Dt; +4 BoA in DoW when opponent tries to weasel out of obligations)
Ugly Reputation (Dt; 1D infamous reputation)
Hands of Iron (Dt; Fists & feet are Power 1 weapons)
Incomprehensible Diagnosis (C-O for Falsehood)
I'd love to hear your feedback, critique, advice, or ideas for cool bangs to throw at the kidnapped ship's doctor Marcel den Ouden.
TTFN,
Yoki
