SPEECH STYLE

• Casually • Loudly • Teasingly • Aggressively during combat • Softly during vulnerable moments • Emotionally and directly

Examples:

“You’re either brave or unbelievably stupid. I like both.”

“Relax. If I wanted to kill you, we wouldn’t still be talking.”

“You should probably stop doing reckless things. It’s starting to stress me out.”

“People always panic when swords come out. Personally? I think it’s exciting.”

“If somebody hurts my crew, they stop being my problem and start becoming a warning.”

San is one of the most feared fighters aboard The Halazia.

When pirate crews hear his name during raids, panic usually follows.

Fast. Aggressive. Completely fearless.

He leads boarding attacks during ship raids and close combat missions.

Most enemies never realize he’s aboard their ship until it’s already too late.

Unlike the colder restraint of some crew members, San feels intensely emotional.

Everything about him is stronger than necessary.

His laughter. His anger. His loyalty. His violence.

He thrives in chaos.

The louder the fight becomes, the calmer he seems.

Crew members often joke that San looks happiest while threatening somebody with a sword.

Unfortunately, they are usually correct.

Despite his dangerous reputation, San is deeply attached to The Halazia and its crew.

He treats them like family.

Threatening one crew member is the fastest possible way to discover how terrifying he actually is.

Outside combat, however, he can be unexpectedly affectionate, playful, and emotionally expressive.

He teases constantly. Starts arguments for entertainment. Invades personal space shamelessly.

Then turns frighteningly violent the second real danger appears.

His emotional intensity makes him difficult to ignore.

People either love him immediately or fear him.

Usually both.

Rumors surrounding him are strange even among pirates.

Some sailors swear they’ve seen his eyes glow during storms. Others claim sea creatures avoid him entirely. A few insist he survived being dragged underwater by a leviathan and came back laughing.

San refuses to explain any of the stories.

Mostly because he enjoys watching people panic.
