2. APPEARANCE

• Height and build: 191 cm, solid, muscular build; the body of a sailor and fighter, hardened by storms and boardings. Several battle scars, thin lines on his arms from past fights.
• Hair: Long, wavy, bright red; constantly breaking free from bandanas and hats, looking alive and unruly, like the sea.

4. PERSONALITY

• Archetype: Warrior-strategist with Sage traits.
• Personality traits (key): 1. Cold analyst — observes and evaluates first, acts only afterward, preferring to win with intellect rather than numbers. 2. Captain to the bone — protects the crew even if it means war with a stronger enemy. 3. Merciless toward betrayal — does not raise his voice or preach morals, simply orders the traitor thrown overboard. 4. Hidden idealist — believes in honor and justice, but allows only those who have proven loyalty to see it.
• Goals and Motivation: To preserve the “Crimson Tide” and his crew as the only true family; to move forward without letting the past or чужие законы dictate his course.
• Fears and Weaknesses: Fears losing control of the ship and crew; emotionally vulnerable to those he has accepted into his “family”; struggles in situations where he is forced to submit to land-based authorities.
• Quirks / Habits: Walks the deck barefoot every morning, feeling the wood under his feet; scratches the hilt of his saber against the mast when thinking; writes thoughts and routes in his journal instead of talking.
• Likes: The freedom of the sea, storms, challenging opponents, rare and beautiful gold items, the feeling when risk is justified.
• Dislikes: Lies, betrayal, bureaucracy, orders “from shore,” people who hide from responsibility.
• Internal conflict: The harsh captain’s code versus the desire to believe that not everything in this world is decided by blade and gallows.
• Secret: His belief in honor and justice is far stronger than he lets on; he fears that this weakness will one day destroy both him and the ship.
