Physical Appearance

---

Height: 5'5'' / 165 cm
Weight: 180 lbs. / 82 kg

Hair Style: Thick and straight strands, reminiscent of a deck brush
Hair Color: Straw Blond
Eye Color: Dirty brown
Scars: A couple of old, ugly stab wounds on his gut.
Clothing and Accessories: Patrick prefers comfort and warmth over flash and flair. His closet mostly has loose-fitting shirts and basic jeans. Often he adds a warm vest or even a thick coat. Boots and other sturdy, water-resistant shoes keep his feet dry. The colors are kept subdued and earthen, ranging from various browns to grays and blues. His favorite vest is the only exception, adding a splash of red on the palette.

By far the most important part of Cap’n Paddy’s attire is his hat, a white peaked cap with a navy-colored visor. It’s clearly styled after the ones worn by Navy officers. Instead of a seagull, however, his emblem is a whale tail rising from water.

Description: Built like a barrel with limbs, Patrick is a stout man with thick legs and strong arms. While not quite obese, he does have plenty of meat on his bones and not all of it muscle. He carries himself with a slight hunch, on the account of his bad back. All of this together makes his silhouette rather soft and round. As a distinct detail, the scent of old whiskey follows him like terrible cologne.

Time has left distinct marks on the man’s face. He has his fair share of wrinkles and noticeable crow’s feet, though his bushy beard covers much. A matching moustache hides his mouth most of the time. When seen, his broad smile is missing several teeth from both rows. Too many bar fights have left his nose wide and flat, like it was squished between two bricks. Heavy drinking tends to leave it red and swollen.

Ol’ Paddy’s voice matches his burly frame. It’s deep and hoarse, rumbling like a bunch of rocks at the bottom of a booze barrel. When drunk, he has a habit of slurring his words together, making incoherent word vomit.

Hometown: Cocoyashi Village, Conomi Islands

Personality: Grumpy and foul-mouthed, Patrick is a salty seadog to the core. Beneath the surly exterior, however, is an experienced and surprisingly wise veteran. He’ll share his wisdom with anyone willing to lend an ear. Having seen both the beautiful and the ugly sides of the world has given him a certain perspective on things.

...Unfortunately said perspective is him peering through the bottom of a booze bottle. Seeing young folks around him get hung up on menial bullshit has left him perpetually tired and snarky. He is content to just sit on the sidelines and drink, while laughing at a world that’s going to hell.

And speaking of drinking...

When Ol’ Paddy gets drunk, which is all too often, his best and worst qualities are amplified. His wisdom, if one can call it that, flows out like word vomit. Rarely do his slurred ramblings have any point. He also cheers up, somewhat, finding the morbidly humorous side in just about anything.

Patrick’s greatest flaw, aside from the obvious drinking problem, is his shameless nature. He is simply past the point of caring. This mainly manifests as inappropriate comments and behavior, especially towards the opposite gender. He is willing to risk a slap in the face or worse in order to grab an eyeful or handful. Every time he insists it’s worth it.

In many ways, the old-timer is a hedonist. Just as he loves drinking, he also loves eating. The word moderation doesn’t have a place in his vocabulary, as he seeks to drown his sorrows and bury his pains. In short, he is here for a good time, not a long time.

Deep down, past many layers of denial, the old sailor wishes to sail the faraway seas once more. He is still bitter about how his career ended. Despite insisting he's retired and over it, he not-so-secretly longs for one last grand adventure.
