He loves to challenge authority though he greatly respects the Captain, he does not intend to be someone's stepping stool and he never backs down. He is a bit of a sarcastic smart ass even in when he is cornered in a tight spot. His smart mouth sometimes gets him into trouble and though he pretends to care little for the safety of others he secretly loves and values his friends. He is very loyal and is willing to put his life on the line for his captain and his shipmates. He hates to see cruel acts and reacts quite fiercely to those with bad intentions. Lawton can not help himself around women and is a notorious flirt though he knows when he is not wanted....but that rarely stops his advances for long..merely prolongs it until he can worm his way into the object of his affection's heart.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> Lawton is a returning member of the old Esperanza's crew. <br/><br/>Born and raised on the streets Lawton was a part of a street urchin gang and quickly found that he was naturally very dexterous and was very skilled with throwing rocks being able to hit so accurately he was able to make a little money for his gang by putting on a show and taking bets that he could hit anything with top ranked precision. Wanting to help feed his friends Lawton hung around the seedier bars and taverns show casing his skills. It wasn't long before a captain saw his potential and taught Lawton the basics of Gunnery and everything he knew about cannons, fighting both on land and sea, but Lawton was a genius in projectiles and soon out classed everyone around him, with pistols, knives, arrows, guns and cannons even fists earning him the nickname "Dead-eye", if you need accuracy Lawton is your man. He was especially coveted by other ships because of his ability to keep from destroying a ship since pirates would rather disable and keep a prized ship than to destroy it. When he returned on year to share his riches he found that no one was left of his old gang. With a heavy heart he wandered from crew to crew until finally after many years out at sea he finally found a worthy and gorgeous Captain that he did not mind following behind. And for a time he was happy until tragedy struck his captain and her family leaving him stranded on land. <br/><br/>Lawton had no where else to go, no family no captain to follow and so he did what he always did when he was depressed. He drank, ran through many women and suckered many people out of their money with bets on knife throwing and fighting. It was a hard brawling life and Lawton got into his fair share of trouble but his silver tongue and a few greased palms always kept him from being put away for long. Most of his treasure was hidden away so he never had to worry about losing his wealth. Finally one day his lovely Captain Courtenay finally sought him out which of course he knew she would eventually would because who wouldn't want the world's best gunner on their ship??? Especially one who was so devilishly good looking and skilled with his tongue in more ways than one.....and because you know he did owe her many times over for saving his life by giving him a purpose.  <br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> Fighting on land and sea (Projectiles of any kind, brawling and sword-fighting), Sailing, Smooth Talker, Gifted Tactician, Pickpocket/Theft<br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Not very literate, His smart mouth can get him in trouble, can be distracted by a beautiful woman<br/><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Loves rough sex, enjoys giving and receiving oral, enjoys power play, switching and teasing/denial, bondage, likes to dirty talk/flirt.<br/><br/>Only offs are no gore, animals and no bathroom stuff.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> <br/></span>
