Vagabond
Welcome to the Tankard, popular Dockside tavern and the
best place to get stone cold Grogged. Please refrain from brawling on the tables, as I have to clean those later and blood is pretty hard to get out of that cruddy wood, and if you get robbed blind by a pickpocket while you're in here, this establishment is not liable for compensation; it's a tavern full of pirates, for crying out loud, you know what to expect when you walk in the door. The whole place just practically screams "I'm a filthy cesspit of liars and thieves and I haven't been through any sort of safety inspection in ten thousand years." Seriously, the whole place could fall apart any minute now, and so I spend my days waiting for the disgusting thing to collapse on top of me then sink to the bottom of the ocean and end my misery. It'll probably happen while I'm trying to sleep. Adam knows I never get any of that anyways, what with the yowling (sounds like a pack of Warfs slowly being crushed by a steamroller) and the singing (same thing as yowling, really, just slightly more off pitch) and the carousing (yowling and singing put together, and it's awful, let me just say). Anyways, you're here now, so I guess you'll be wanting some more Grog. Tasty, isn't it? Yeah. I'm not telling you what's in it; we'd never sell another mug if I did. Don't forget to tip your serving wench, and throw a couple of coppers to the guy with the mandolin while you're at it. Just aim carefully, kay? Cuz I really hate when people lob coins at my head and they hit me in the eye.

Juri is...
A sardonic and ill-tempered soul with a grim outlook on life that jades his conversation and makes him almost unbearable to be around. Despite his sharp tongue and disengaged personality, Juricanix isn't as cold and detatched as he'd like people to think he is, and he has quite a soft spot for his lazy Pirate Gallion, whom he affectionately refers to as The Captain. Juri is quick-witted and resourceful, although he tends to be rather lazy, and he'd much rather sit around whining about something instead of fixing it.
It isn't that he doesn't know how to solve a problem when one arrives; he just doesn't feel like it. Juri is a great believer in waiting around for somebody else to fix it. Unless, of course, there is some sort of material gain for him in return.The young Pirate Krawk, having been abandoned as a baby on the streets to fend for himself, has never known many luxuries, and is insatiably greedy when it comes to "things". He enjoys surrounding himself with expensive and beautiful "things," as he is somewhat of a narcissist, but he will collect just about anything that isn't bolted to the floor. When he was smaller, he used to hoard shiny items and keep them in the pouch he wears on the belt around his waist; the belt around his middle is for strapping his most prized possession, his mandolin, to his back. Juri found the mandolin when he was only around eight years old, and now, eleven years later, he is a (mostly) self-taught master of the instrument, and he values his old mandolin as though it were wrought of solid gold. In fact, he loves it better than most people. This is one of Juri's greatest faults. He hates people and would much rather spend his time with his "things" instead. This unhealthy, magpie-like obsession with "things" is partly what drives his wandering career after he leaves The Tankard at 16 years of age. This petpage is set during the part of Juri's life where he spent his days working in the Dockside tavern for cutthroats as a musician. Speaking of The Tankard, Juri's life can be broken up into three distinct periods:
Before The Tankard (age 0 - 9), Working The Tankard (age 9 - 16), and After The Tankard (age 16 - 19, his current age).
More on that to follow in his bibliography section; this is just the personality run-down. Besides his beloved mandolin and his ever-present petpet, The Captain, Juri has few friends and even fewer allies. One of his best friends is Formings, a Pirate Lupe a year older than Juri, who used to look out for the smaller Krawk when the two were growing up together in Dockside. The two still run into each other sometimes today, and when they get a chance, Juri always challenges Ormin to a game of Bilge Dice, which Ormin always wins. While Ormin became captain of his own crew of bucaneers, Juri prefers to work behind the scenes and introduce himself as a simple lover of music and a plucker of strings, and makes his way on the high seas as a bard. Juri really never has a place to go, in particular; he just loves being on a ship out on the ocean, free from the clinging shadows of his past and the looming uncertainty of his future. Juri is afflicted with wanderlust, and a traveller at heart, and is never comfortable in one place for too long. Having never had a place to call home, he feels free to go where he wants and do as he pleases without the ties of homesickness holding him back, although he harbors a secret desire for a safe and comfortable place, preferably full of nice "things," to be wanted. While he would rather laze about and play his mandolin, Juri is handy with a cutlass and can hold his own in a clash, and although he lacks charisma, he has decent leadership skills and can help his friends out in a tight spot with his quick thinking.

The captain and I.
This here's my Pirate Gallion, The Captain. He doesn't have a name. I just call him The Captain. I dunno. So I guess you can call him whatever you want, really.
He doesn't mind; he's not very bright. I think he's old, too; The Captain and I have been together for a long time. Let's see. I was nine years old, and I had just started working at The Tankard as a kitchen boy; you know, sweeping the floors, scrubbing the bar, wiping down tables, dragging passed-out customers into the back corner where they'll be out of the way in case somebody wants to start a fight, and taking out the garbage. That's when I met The Captain, and we've been fast friends ever since. I actually don't know how old he is, really, because when I found him in the trash can outside The Tankard he was already in pretty bad shape. He's blind in one eye and he's got a peg leg, so he doesn't move much and when he does, he just kinda bumps around and knocks into stuff. He spends almost all of his time asleep under the top of the piano, so whenever I try to play it, it wakes him up and he starts yowling (see introduction paragraph for reference to yowling) and then the half-Grogged patrons all chuck tin plates and wooden tankards at me. But all this aside, I love The Captain. He's like my best friend, you know? He likes to cuddle up with me when I (attempt to) sleep in my ratty hammock, and he curls up around my feet and keeps me company when I practice my mandolin. So he's awkward and stupid and fat. But The Captain is my pet, so if you talk bad about him, I'll insult you. Look, we're even wearing matching bandanas. Isn't that the cutest thing? No? I really thought so. I guess it's actually rather shameless, haha. Whatever.
