Grover Aurum

Basic Character Information

Starting Bonus: Force Is Strong | [Starting Bonus Roll]

First Name: Grover
Middle Name/Initial: N/A
Last Name: Aurum
Epithet: None Established
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Klabautermann
Faction: Ex-Pirate
Affiliation: Ex-Member of the Gilded Skulls
Position: Shipwright
Profession:
Wanderer - Grover's been drifting about for quite a long while. While it doesn't come with a lot of prestige or particularly marketable skills, it does mean Grover is quite good when it comes to getting around by foot or by boat. He's also quite good at taking care of himself.

Gardener - One of the things that Grover learned to do early on was to grow and harvest various small plants, trees, and the like for resins, saps, and fibers that could be used to make fantastic medicines. Grover was no doctor though, and instead adapted the techniques to make special compounds and materials for fixing ships.

Shipwright - Should probably go without saying, but Grover knows his way around a hull or two. He's quite adept at keeping a ship going, and figuring out what ails a ship. After all, it takes one to know one.



-------------------------------------------------
Physical Appearance

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 162 lbs

Hair Style: Shaggy, medium length
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Yellow
Scars: None
Clothing and Accessories:
Grover keeps it pretty simple. Wearing a drab olive jumpsuit with a hood, that's about the most of his core clothing people see. He does, however, wear a white tee shirt and blue knee-length shorts under the hooded garment. Black boots and a set of goggles complete the look of a handyman. There is a toolbelt around his waist more often than not, with an assortment of mallets, chisels, pliers, and the like.

Detailed Description:
Grover is easy to lose in a crowd, being just short of the average young man, his dark hair only helping him blend seamlessly into a crowd. Between his height and basement-dweller pale skin, one would hardly expect the lanky guy to be of much help in just about anything. Despite this, underneath the dark green coveralls, there's a surprisingly athletic body, honed to its most agile. Despite being mostly unremarkable, he does have a few calling cards; one being the set of yellow-lensed goggles he packs, the other being a thin yellow headband that just barely manages to keep his bangs from falling in front of his eyes. The accessories go nicely with his sunshine yellow eyes, which totally aren't distinct at all... Especially since Grover isn't a spooky ghost. Nope. Not at all. And most certainly not the spirit of a old pirate vessel...



-------------------------------------------------
The Past

Main Traits:
- Relaxed
- Non-Confrontational
- Friendly

Likes: Seafaring vessels, puppies, rainy days, fruits, and slow, lazy sailing on a calmly rocking boat.
Dislikes: Loud people, warmongering, hot temperatures, lying, and anyone who abuses their ship.
Hometown: Water Seven
Personality:
First and foremost, Grover is a calm and collected sort of guy, rarely without a small smile on his face. It does him no good to stress over things, and while it might take him a bit longer to do things than the average worker, his quality of work is more than worth the wait. That said, the one thing that ruins his otherwise unflappable personality is being the center of attention. Usually, he's a follower, and easily pressured into doing things, so when he's the center of attention, his lack of initiative starts to show. It's when he's working as part of a crew that he truly shines though, as he's quick to trust his allies, and easily forms loyalties, even if that might lead to him being a bit naive.

Grover happens to be quite a smart fellow, as long as he isn't to be believed. The wandering spirit can be a bit of knucklehead at times, and easily falls into the trap of self-depreciation, leading to a bit of a confidence problem. Despite this, he's quite optimistic as long as it doesn't directly involve his own endeavors. His relaxed, daydreaming style might make him seem lazy, but it can lead to unusual, imaginative solutions to complex problems.

That said, he can wind up clashing quite a bit with people that are loud and energetic. His carefree attitude often irks them in some way, sparking a conflict that often won't ever be resolved properly. Even so, Grover won't truly hate them so much as be mildly annoyed. The only people that truly earn his hatred are those that instigate conflict at every opportunity, and those that think nothing of causing collateral damage. Often going hand-in-hand, their destructive natures clash truly with Grover's peaceful and considerate nature. Of course, anyone who disrespect and abuse ships earn his ire as well. Few have seen the shining gold death glare, but to abuse one's own ship is the fastest way to see it.

History:

-------------------------------------------------

It was an interesting read to be quite honest. It wasn't race I'd surely ever think to pop up on our good ol' forum but nonetheless, it has. I won't lie, I was skeptical going into this application but I'm glad I read it from start to finish. I certainly hope Grover finds the Golden Orchid or his true home on the seas, who knows! All in all, I'm curious to see where you go with it~ Approved!
