Face Claim: Robert Sheehan
OOC Name:Aquila
CHARACTER NAME: Jasper Priddy
AGE:25
CURRENT RESIDENCE (Which land in Elysium will they live?): Travelor
APPEARANCE (General info, Height/weight, Eye/Hair color, build, etc.): At first glance, Jasper is tall with a thin frame. He has slightly broad shoulders, and lacks in the muscular department despite how much he tells himself they’ll come in later once he’s older. He has long nimble fingers, and large feet that he’s constantly tripping over. He has a mop of brown curly hair that is constantly in his eyes. He’s constantly brushing it to the side, or slicking it back. He has hazel eyes that hold an intelligence in them sometimes. Most of the time it’s arrogance or fear as people always want to punch him. Jasper walks quickly, and occasionally trips over his feet. He walks as if he’s constantly late to something.
MARITAL STATUS: Single
FAMILY MEMBERS:
None he likes to discuss
POSITION/OCCUPATION: Navigator to The Fortune's Raider.
GRAMARYE GIFT (if any):The Human Compass. Jasper has the uncanny ability to just know the right direction to things he wants, or to locations. He always knows where North, East, South, and West is, and he himself never gets lost. His Gramayre is quite literally the only thing that keeps his Captain from murdering him.
PERSONALITY: As a child, Jasper was called “Little Dreamer.” He was a very ambitious tyke, usually biting off more than he could chew. His head was constantly up in the clouds, thinking of the man he’d become one day from all the things his parents put in his head. He wanted to do many things, but could never make his mind up until his Gramarye led him to a merchant ship. He set his sights on being a sailor then, despite being terribly bad at it, Jasper has it in his head he’s a good sailor. On the contrary he’s a very good navigator, and that’s the only thing he’s good at aside from having a photographic memory. He’s a friendly lad, though somewhat quiet. He’s very eager to please. Especially Captain Butcher. He can become awkward, or a major dork. Mostly he’s a giant klutz that gets occasionally sea sick. He’s loyal to his crew and captain, and would do quite honestly anything for them, with no questions asked.
He’s quick to anger, becoming rude or mean. When he’s angry he becomes arrogant, stubborn, unwilling to listen, and flaunts his brain like it's a blade as if it will protect him. Jasper’s ugly side is really rather ugly. He becomes a different person that those who know him, wouldn’t even recognize. Despite his ugly side, Jasper can be incredibly sweet and thoughtful. Which makes him the worst pirate known to man, as he’s the sort that will feel terribly guilty for robbing you and mutter apologies as he’s doing it. He has a difficult time coping with life as a pirate and prefers to stick with maps, and let everyone else do the real pirating.
HISTORY:
Jasper was born in Teronna as tensions rose between the mystics and other populace. He grew up having to hide what he could do, which made his mother incredibly anxious. It wasn’t until he was about 12 when his parents were killed and he was left alone. Wanting an escape he had one thought. “Where am I safe?” His Gramarye led him into the direction of the docks, and he soon found himself in front of a merchant ship Captained by Samuel Wright. Seeing it as a sign, Jasper marched right on board and declared he would be the best sailor ever, and that Wright just had to take him with him. After getting laughed at, Jasper insisted they needed him, and then showed what his Gramyre could do by a game of hide and seek. One of the sailors ran off and hid in town, and Jasper took Wright right to him.
Seeing his use as a navigator, Wright took Jasper aboard to try and teach him how to be a proper sailor. No matter who Wright did, Jasper just could not grasp the concepts of sailing. Maps however he was incredibly good at. He could read and understand them far better than most people, and boy had a memory like none other. Able to remember anything he’d read nearly word for word.
When the mutiny happened, Jasper, like several others, joined Butcher. What else was he gonna do? The ship was home. Since then, Jasper has become somewhat the bane of Butcher’s existence. He makes a very bad pirate, and sailor, the only thing that keeps Jazz alive is his Gramayre. Jasper is constantly trying to show his worth to Butcher, if only to get the man to accept him like Wright had.
