Casval Lisandro Placito's Background/Personality/Apperance

Postby Sajuuk » Sun May 10, 2009 3:24 am

BACKSTORY:
Was from wilderness (Gallia Baetica)
Was training to be a shaman (read: shugenja) for the tribe. Served as regional patrol along with his two friends, patrolling the areas around the clan's holdings on the watch for dangerous wild creatures and incursions by rivals.
Casval and his two friends, Rachel and Katarine, were out on patrol one day when they came across a most disturbing assemblage of people. They saw the head of their clan meeting with a group of rather distasteful looking humans. Then they saw something that horrified them, the Elder handing over several members of the clan to the humanoids, who then took them into their ship and flew off. Realizing that the Elder was secretly making deals with the slavers to keep them away, they raced back to tell the others of their discovery. But somehow, the Elder beat them back and prevented them from revealing this, exiling the three of them to prevent any further troubles.
Upon being exiled, Casval and the other two headed to somewhere they felt they could start life anew - the city. Heading to a trade post, they managed to barter their way onto a trade convoy heading to Yamazaki. During the journey, Casval learned to play Obama Holdem - a game from continent of Yamato that was just starting to become popular on Gallia. Through what was possibly the world's largest show of beginner's luck, Casval managed to defeat all the other members of the trade caravan and accumulate a sizeable amount of winnings (after he was cleared of the accuastions of cheating).
Upon arriving in Yamazaki, Casval used his winnings to locate affordable housing for the three of them and secure it. He then set about adapting to the civilized world, starting with getting the implant system that everyone else had. Realizing he could not currently afford it, and that the doctor would most likely sell him out to the slavers, he decided to build up some capital first to pay for a trip to Akashi. The three found work where they could, with Rachel spending most of the time Soulbound to one of them. Casval took up odd jobs that he could put his spellcasting and physical science knowledge to use. Also, on the side he would perform magic tricks at parties and small shows for additional income. Meanwhile, he continued to hone his growing skill at Obama Holdem by playing in routine games at taverns and casinos, slowly accumulating the money he needed for the implants.
Of course, as much as he tried to hide his and Rachel's Azurin heritage, the ever-looming threat of slavers would catch up with them more than once. The slavers sometimes met with strange fates, some of them had things fall on them while chasing them, others killed themselves in arguments over profit sharing, and others still just couldn't keep up with Casval as they chased them through the streets. Sometimes Katarine was around as well and she would aid in their escape, but usually she was off with mercenaries somewhere. More often than not, the slavers would chase them across the city to one of their various safepoints, where they would lay low until the slavers gave up.
One night, he was returning home from a night of particularly successful gambling (with Rachel off with Katarine), when the slavers found him again. A mad dash across the city ensued, with no outside help this time and no safehouses that could be used. Just when all seemed lost, he spotted a pile of cargo about to be loaded onto a ship and stowed away inside a container of sheep. When he snuck out of the container, he found himself in the nation of Ginjou, a not-so-wretched hive of trade and commerce.
He wandered around Ginjou after securing accommadations and sending a message back to his friends, taking in the local sights and tastes and looking for something to do. He came across a poster advertising an upcoming high-stakes Obama Holdem Tournament at a local casino. Realizing that if he continued winning, he would have enough money to enter and if he did well in it he would have enough money for the trip to Akashi for both him and his friends, he set about finding more games to play in. By the time the tournament came around, he had accumulated enough money to not only pay for implants and enter the tournament, but also enough to set aside for future investments.
The tournament was held at the world-famous Casino de Monte Carlo and players from all around the world were in attendance. Nobody took much notice Casval intially, and the only attention he attracted initially was due to the fact that nobody had ever heard of him before. Slowly working his way up the rankings, and obviously attracting attention as he did, he made his way to the final round of the tournament. Of the six players to start the final round, the last two left were Casval and <some rich other poker player>. <Other poker player> was so sure of his hand, a straight flush, that he foolishly allowed himself to be goaded into making a stupid bet by some onlookers. He offered a ship from his fleet as an additional wager, not expecting what came next. Casval, who had been bluffing the whole round, had a trick up his sleeve the whole time...a royal flush. The crowd goes into an uproar and much celebration ensues.
While heading back to his accomidations after the partying, Casval is happened upon by some slavers. Again. Grumbling about his horrible luck, another mad dash across the city ensues, this time ending with Casval leaping from a boarding platform onto a departing airship. Which turns out to be a massive turn in his luck, as it belonged to <other gambler>, who began to curse his luck as he was hoping Casval forgot about the bet. Begrudgingly forced to hand over one of his ships, <other gambler> transfers ownership of one his armored courier ships. Revealing himself to be a fellow azurin in disguise, he gives Casval a crash course (no pun intended) in airship piloting as his fleet journeys to Yamazaki on a trading run. Upon their arrival in Yamazaki, <other gambler> loans Casval a few crew until he manages to recruit his own and heads upon his way, suggesting that he looks for work in Yamato, and leaving open an offer for a rematch whenever Casval feels like one.
Tracking down Rachel and Katarine, he shares his winnings with them and tells them of his adventures in Ginjou as they travel to Akashi so that the three of them can get implants.
After getting used to his implants and obtaining at least a skeleton crew for the ship, he strikes a deal with the Akashi Navy. They will help him outfit and arm his ship, and he in turn will do odd jobs for them, as well as act as part of the Defense Fleet when requested by the proper authorities.

PERSONALITY:
Highly ambitious, Casval dreams of a world where Azurins and Dusklings can walk free. He does not care for the personal glory, but merely hopes to be part of whatever leads to this goal. He has suceeded in embedding himself in high society, as would be expected of someone who has accumulated as much net worth as he was without resorting to 'less moral' methods such as slavery, government lobbying, and drug trafficing/manufacture and acts accordingly when expected. He is about as chivalrous as someone can be without being a paladin or a knight. Once he puts his mind to something, it takes a lot to stop or dissuade him, and once Casval finishes something, his mind is already hard at work figuring out what he is going to do next. True to form as a gambler, scoundrel, and pirate, Casval has a taste for flashy things. Be it attire, his fighting style - though he prefers unarmed combat as oppossed to a blade, or just how he acts. He learned early on that humor is an excellent way to help your bluffing at a poker table, and this has extended to the rest of his life from there. While he can crack a joke in just about any circumstance, including in the middle of combat, he knows when humor is appropriate and when it is not. He is loyal to his crew, particularly Rachel, Katarine, and <COHORT NAME>, and will aid anyone who is interested in furthering the cause of freeing the Incarnum-blooded races.
