Occupation: Dancer and MMA practitioner.
Appearence:
Charlton is a tall and well built man, with carmel skin and graceful movement. He stands above most, is large in his presence, yet he is elegant in his silence and poise, though he is always moving with grace, a habit gained from his years of dance. He has an athletic yet lean build that allows him to move with smooth contours. He has large hands and feet, larger than would be proportional to his stature; his feet allows him a large center of gravity for spinning moves.
He has a well defined face, his chin is large and chiseled, yet does not jet out. He has a pronounced nose, though it is not exaggerated, but rather wise looking and prideful. He has large and wide lips, they are dry and a light brown, they are dry but not chapped. Though his hair may draw away from them, his ears are quite prominent. They are of average size but slightly more pressed to his temples than the average person. He has dark brown eyes with thick eyebrows. They are powerful though he rarely shows them.
His hair sits atop his head in a frizzled mass, though the consistency of imperfection gives an appearance of roundness and sheen, though if one were to look close enough, it is in tight curls. It is almost entirely jet black, though the shine of it gives the appearance of a shiny white belt through it. The afro is quite large, at least 4 and a half inches high off of his forehead. He has a large chin beard that flows until it is ponytailed by a gold ring, from that down it is braided.
He has a scent of butterscotch and herb smoke, and though it is not all that invasive, it is indicative of him. His voice is rough and deep, and he speaks in singsongy ways.
He wears an open longcoat revealing his torso, it is black and has gold accents in that of the frills and buttons. When fighting he abandons it entirely, wearing nothing but his pants. His pance are billowy, yet tied with sashes towards his lower calf and all the way down. The pants are a dark brown, and also with gold accents like the golden sashes used to tie them down. He wears blue tinted john lennon style sunglasses. On his feet he wears cocoa brown calfskin deck shoes with a thick cloth sole allowing for both style and performance
6’6” 215
Allegiance: None
Home village/ocean: The West Blue
History:
His flats brushed the dirt, he left practice and exited through the back way, women were one thing, but his charms could never get him out of a scuff with the neighborhood boys. Charlton was a dancer, tride and true, but the boys of his village didn’t accept him for what he was, and he kept his life a secret. He put on his coat, and took the way he always did, through the alley out back. In all of the times he saw the shadows, he hid, behind a dumpster, in a bin, he couldn’t bare to let them see him like this again. The last time they had discovered him, it wasn’t pleasant. The boys were bashers, and thought that dancing was a girls activity. He had never fought in his life, only danced, so he used what he knew. The boys went in for a punch, and he dipped out of harms reach, they grappled with him, and he put them in a tango, and then into submission. They wanted to back away for a running start, he plead at them, with a kick to their jaw. Dancing was his passion, and his defense, it was his bastion, and his greatest weapon.
He took what he learned that day and practiced, but he never wanted to be caught again, but what was he to do, be the boy that did nothing? He took up mechanics and sailing ships. To him, they were different from chopping wood or laying brick, they requiered a certain element of finess and grace in their mastery that could be aided from his dance, and could benefit his fighting. Everyone grew to like him, and went to him for repairs and such. And he began to like them, they trusted him, he carried himself in a way that was graceful in its candidacy. Eventually he trusted them enough to come out about his passion, and as they had matured together, they accepted him, he was beloved still.
Personality: He is smooth and groovy, yet sometimes arrogant. He is alwas dancing, when he is walking, and when he is fighting, and when he sleeps, his heart dances. He loves to fight as well, and he always wants to win. Out of battle, he is goofy and fun, and a pervert.
