<div class="floatleft">(http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm406/AGirlontheInternet/vampire_by_leejun35.jpg)</div><strong>Player:</strong>Fedora (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=71589.msg3134938)<br/><strong>Name:</strong>Du'an<br/><strong>Age:</strong>28<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Bi, Dom<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>Unknown<br/><br/><strong>Allegiance:</strong>Pirates<br/><strong>Ship:</strong>The Dirty Secret<br/><strong>Rank/Occupation:</strong>Boatswain/Provost<br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>A whip, extra rope, grappling hook, cigarillos and a matchbox full of matches.<br/><strong>Weapons:</strong>Matched pair of flintlock pistols, extra powder and shot, Damascus steel scimitar he took off a Barbary Corsair.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>Du'an has no pigmentation. As such, he always keeps himself as covered as possible in the sunlight - he wears a hat to shield his eyes,  and long sleeves even in hot weather - though he spends as much time as possible below-deck unless they're sailing at night.<br/><br/>Du'an is rather androgynous, and is rather short and slender for a man, being only about the height of an average woman. Not pleased with this, his shoes have high heels on them to elevate his height, and they click on the timbers as he walks.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Du'an takes no crap from anyone. As the boatswain, he is basically the supervisor or enforcer of the ship, making sure all of the peons perform their duties. His duties as Provost mean he's in charge of disciplining people on the ship when they don't obey orders or are misbehaving - something he seems to enjoy greatly.<br/><br/>The only person who might have seen beneath his mask is his younger brother, Ta'er. The two seem very close, though Du'an at times downplays this. Though they may wander here and there, Du'an and his brother always seem to come back together, and he is fiercely protective of him. He is a charismatic person, if somewhat manipulative towards his own gains. He's a fairly quiet person, and somewhat cold towards those whom he can't use.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Du'an says nothing about his life prior to becoming a pirate. He came from a rather meager background, but his gift of persuasion gets him everything he needs, and has enabled his traveling. When a pirate ship docked near him soon after he'd left his previous home, Du'an seized the opportunity to get on board, his brother following close behind him. He managed to use his gift of persuasion to rise to the position of Boatswain, even though he hadn't been there long.<br/><br/><strong>Anything else:</strong>Don't make fun of his heels.
