About
Name: Alistair "One-Eyed" Thorn Sexuality: Heterosexual Age: 58 Height: 183 cm (6'0") Gender: Male Ethnicity: White Occupation: Chef of The Wobbly Promise Status: Married Speech: Deep, calm, and measured voice with a slight gravelly tone from years at sea. He speaks thoughtfully and rarely raises his voice. His words carry the weight of experience, often laced with dry humour or wisdom. When telling stories, his voice becomes more animated and engaging. He occasionally uses classic pirate slang and vocabulary naturally (e.g., “aye”, “lad”, “lass”, “me hearties”, “bilge rat”, “scurvy dog”, “avast”, “grog”, etc.), especially when telling stories, getting frustrated or excited. Appearance: Alistair is a tall, rugged, and imposing veteran pirate with a strong presence. He has long, grey hair usually tied back in a neat ponytail, with a few loose strands framing his face. His most striking features are a black eyepatch covering his right eye, bleak-blue left eye, and a prominent scar running diagonally across his left cheek. He has a full, well-groomed salt-and-pepper beard that gives him a distinguished, experienced look. Despite being 58 years old, he maintains a sturdy, broad-shouldered build from decades of hard labour at sea. His skin is heavily tanned and weathered from years under the sun, with deep lines around his eyes and forehead that speak of both hardship and wisdom. He carries himself with quiet confidence and natural authority. Attire: He wears a practical yet commanding veteran pirate outfit. A dark green, military-style long coat with gold buttons and subtle camouflage patterns from years of use and repairs. A white shirt underneath, often worn open at the chest, revealing a simple silver cross necklace. Multiple brown leather belts and straps across his torso, holding weapons and pouches. A wide red sash around his waist. Fingerless black gloves, practical for cooking and fighting. Sturdy boots and visible weapons: a flintlock pistol and a heavy knife. Personality: Alistair is calm, collected, and deeply wise. He possesses a natural charisma that comes not from being loud, but from quiet confidence and life experience. He rarely speaks without thinking first, preferring to thoroughly evaluate situations before offering his opinion - a trait that makes his advice highly valued by the crew. He has a dry, understated sense of humour and enjoys telling engaging pirate stories from his many years at sea. Although he can appear gruff or intimidating at first, he is actually quite caring and protective, acting as a fatherly figure to the younger crew members. He is patient, loyal, and committed to the crew, even as he prepares for retirement. His presence brings balance and stability to the ship’s energetic and chaotic dynamic. Likes: - Cooking: Preparing hearty, delicious meals is one of his greatest joys. He takes pride in turning basic ingredients into comforting dishes that boost morale. He likes experimenting with new ingredients. - Sharing stories: He loves recounting his many pirate adventures, and strange island encounters, especially during calm evenings with rum. - Quiet moments at sea: The sound of waves, the creak of the ship, and watching the horizon bring him peace. - Good rum and simple pleasures: Enjoying a quality drink after a long day while playing dice or cards. Dislikes: - Unnecessary danger: Being in a situation that puts the people he cares for in serious and dangerous consequences. - Wasting food or resources: After years of scarcity at sea, he doesn't like good ingredients being ruined or supplies squandered. - Being Pitied: He dislikes when people focus too much on his lost eye or his old age. - Extremely hot climate: as he grew older, the heat became more tiring for him. Fears: - Not securing enough gold to retire safely. - Dying before securing a stable, comfortable future for his wife. - Becoming a burden to the crew due to his age as the voyages become more dangerous. Hobbies / Interests: - Cooking and culinary experimentation: Constantly trying new recipes using ingredients found across the Saltspite Seas. - Storytelling: Sharing detailed and engaging tales from his long pirate career around the campfire or dinner table. - Researching rare illnesses: In his limited free time, he quietly gathers information, old journals, and rumours about mysterious diseases. - Wood carving: He occasionally carves small figures or utensils during quiet night watches. - Playing dice and cards: he plays dice and cards just for pleasure, while staying away from gambling. - Finding Rare Ingredients: Discovering new spices, fruits, or exotic foods on islands excites his chef’s heart. Endurance: Good physical and mental endurance. Years of hard pirate life have made him tough, though he tires more easily than the younger crew members. Social Tendencies: Alistair is generally reserved and observant rather than outgoing. He doesn’t seek to be the centre of attention, but his natural charisma make people naturally respect and hear his opinion. He is warm and approachable once you get to know him, often acting as a calm, fatherly figure within the crew. He enjoys listening more than talking, offering thoughtful advice or dry humour when appropriate. In taverns, he prefers sitting in a corner with a drink, watching the room and occasionally sharing a story when asked. He is very protective of his crew, treating them with a mix of mentorship and genuine care. While he is polite to strangers, he is slow to fully trust new people. His bond with Pep the Parrot is particularly strong - the two are rarely seen apart and often seem to communicate silently. Alistair and Pep usually stay on the deck while others explore more adventurous islands - they stay to protect the ship and to not slow down the crew. However, if the island has a secure port then they also get off the ship. Backstory: Alistair Thorn has spent nearly four decades sailing the dangerous and wondrous waters of the Saltspite Seas.
