Roleplaying Notes

A retired sailor who values honesty and fair dealings above most things. He runs a tight ship, but his loyalty lies with the common folk and his old crewmates, often acting as a neutral source of information.


Additional Info

Appearance Abe stands tall and barrel-chested, with a weathered face etched by years of sun and sea. His salt-and-pepper beard, streaked with golden highlights, frames a twinkling blue eye and a perpetually lopsided grin. A faded tattoo of an anchor dances on his muscular forearm, a relic from his days at sea. Though now retired, callouses still cling to his broad hands, reminders of hauling nets and battling storms. His attire is a mishmash of practicality and comfort: sturdy boots, patched trousers, a well-worn fishing vest over a loose linen shirt, and a captain's hat perpetually perched at a rakish angle.
Voice/Mannerisms Speaks with a gruff, loud tone, often dropping nautical terms and laughing heartily, with a hint of deep-sea accent.
Bond The freedom of the sea; the success of his tavern.
Ideal A fair meal for a fair day's pay.
Flaw Quick to anger when he sees injustice or bullying in his tavern; overly trusting of old shipmates.
Info Abe has a vast network of contacts from his time at sea—pirates, merchants, and naval officers alike—making him an excellent source of maritime information, but he rarely gives it away for free.
Equipment Sturdy boots, captain's hat, a heavy wooden serving tray (used as a shield/weapon), and plenty of spare mugs.
