AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- SO EXCITED!
My youngest brother has just become a dad for the first time! Right on due date, she was born this morning!
Small but healthy, the mother doing well as well, as far I can tell.
And finally we may know her name, now she's born: Fryd.
A beautiful name! Like my own birthname, it is old Nordic and rarely seen used today, but still around.
It is a word that means = Joy, Bliss, Delight.
We have all been excited for this birth. As the youngest sibling, my brother has always been stuck as the family baby, even after growing out a beard, heh. But now he got his own baby and we are all super excited for him and his partner both.
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: He's missing a finger on his right hand. It got bitten clean by a Sahagin during an attack while he was serving on The Siren's Curse, back in the days.
COMMON ACCESSORIES: His homemade clothing. He knits most of his socks, sweater and scarves. He uses an old, almost forgotten, roegadyn method, that is similar to sailor knots.
If he's at home, there is for sure a fresh batch of acorn cookies in the oven.
OTHER: He has a pretty thick Lominsan accent - he swears like a sailor when angry. Some of it is without a doubt pirate lingo.
IS: Main / Alt
RELATIONS: Guolwyb Bylgkirzwyn (wife, deceased) Krystwyda Guolwybwyn (33 years old daughter) Hyllkest Frydhaerzsyn (36 years old son) Trachynnahct Frydhaerzsyn (40 years old son) Herlgeim Guolwybwyn (40 years old daughter) Rhetizwyn Swynloefsyn (15 years old grandson) 13 others grandchildren.
TL;DR BACKGROUND: Ex-pirate, settled down, married and had children. His wife died more than 30 years ago but he’s still loyal to her memory. He’s a happy man, enjoying knitting, gardening and baking. He’s also unbeatable at card games.
POSSIBLE RP HOOKS
1) The Extraordinary Elderly League of Gentlepeople: If your OC is also a grandpa/grandma, they could be from the same card club. Either that organization looks harmless on the outside but is, in reality, an old badasses society, secretly doing good OR it's just what it is, an association for the elderly, that is yet to know...
2) Market day If your OC is a culinarian and need fresh products, Fryd is your man. He only has oranges but he got multiples varieties: from sweeter than pure sugar to so sour, one could feel their eyes popping out of their sockets.
3) Blackgate's Bane: His days of crimes are far, far behind him but the shadow Blackgate is still haunting him. Your OC could have something to do with it, whether she/he was affected by it or is investigating it almost 50 years after it's over. However, it is a pretty dark chapter of Fryd's history and he is not willing to revisit it any time soon.
