★ Folkmore Roles & Attributes ★
Skills:
* Fighting (swords, pistols, daggers, fists, headbutting, garroting)
* Sailing (late 17th/early 18th century tall ships, dinghies)
* Navigating (stars, sea charts, gut instinct, land maps-ish)
* Thieving (brute force, some finesse)
* Leadership (all pirate captains captain pirates differently)
* Surviving (scrounging, basic early 18th century first aid, using other skills to acquire food and shelter)
* Being stabbed without dying (listen it's a separate skill from surviving)
* Fuckery (fuckery)
Canon Abilities: He's a human person, but he's got a decently high (if still very human) pain tolerance.
Role: Myth
Role Qualities/Attributes: He's spent his life literally cultivating this wild and violent aesthetic that already fits, but as he sinks deeper into it here, let's get him some creepy squid radula fangs and some (short) narwhal tusk horns sticking out of his hair in the fashionable slickback goat style.
Role Reasoning/Personality: Edward certainly defaults to greedy, arrogant, inconsiderate, and occasionally incredibly cruel. He's also violent and has pretty poor emotional regulation, particularly with his anger. Then again, he's generally adventurous, curious, theatrical, quick-witted, charming, and sensitive. A decent portion of his arc is struggling between the external portrayal of Blackbeard as essentially a demon, the soft inner belly of the man himself, and the tension that comes with knowing the things he's done and the way he'll keep lashing out destructively in anger on first instincts. He'll love being given the role of leaning into everything rough and brutal about himself, but have to wind up doing a lot of self-reflection on how that balances with how much he'd been enjoying his canonical growth toward being a kinder, gentler person.

[OOC]
backtagging. Yes. Probably forever.
threadhopping. Ask if you're worried but almost certainly yes.
fourthwalling. Sure, but also please tell him about other less ridiculous versions of Blackbeard also he deserves to know??
[IC]
hugging. Yes, but ymmv on whether he'll hug back, be confused, or go for the stab.
kissing. Yes, but see violent potential above.
flirting. Yes please, he's about that life.
fighting. Please do. It does a body good.
injuring. Anything minor can probably be assumed. He's not un-reckless about injuring himself; he's actively pursued being stabbed by his bestie for almost no reason at all. A heads up for major injuries would be appreciated, and talking before debilitating injuries would be best.
killing. As above, talking first is best.
using telepathy/mind reading abilities on. Yes; give me a ping if you need Extra Deets.
warnings. Edward was witness to and the victim of domestic abuse as a child, and (despite claims to the contrary) has been involved with some pretty gruesome killing. I try not to bring it up much, but if it's something you need me to have a steel trap on, please give a ping!
If you have questions or concerns about something on/not on this list, let me know!
