- Personality:
- Erik Holmgeirr, also referred to as Cap’n Erik by most people, is an ambitious and greedy man who dreams of conquering and exploring the oceans of the world as an infamous pirate - pillaging towns and ships as he pleases. Possessing an almost immeasurable and insatiable amount of greed, he craves money, women, status, fame, eternal life, and everything else in this world. Erik is quite lecherous - enjoying having a beautiful woman or women to keep him warm at night. In conjunction with his fondness of the ladies, Erik loves to eat and drink. To the extent, he is considered a glutton and a drunk. Erik recognizes himself as human trash, who only knows how to follow his baser instincts.
Erik Holmgeirr is a man of outlandish bravado. His wild and courageous nature is almost uncontrollable with only a few people, being able to change his mind once he has started something. He also takes to perform a task with show-offish, daring acts that seem reckless and inconsistent with common sense. It is due to this that he causes fear in his enemies and awe in those who serve him. He is a charismatic figure to his men. In spite of his grand bravado, Erik Holmgeirr is an intelligent man underneath it all. He understands when he is outmatched by an individual, or he is unable to handle a particular situation. So, he is not afraid to run or sail away to live and fight another day.
Erik is a somewhat compassionate individual as well. While he is a pirate and takes what he wants without any consideration for others, he will spare the lives of those who show no resistance. However, he will make an example out of those who resist or fight back. It matters not to him the gender, age, or race of those stand up to him, either. He is also kind to his men and those who work with him - offering them a drink or a good meal. More so out of the fact, he views them as his possessions, and he needs to take care of them properly. Out of all of the treasures that Erik values, the one thing that he values the most is his freedom. The freedom to do what he wants. The freedom to choose what he wants. It is because of this fact that Erik can act like a hypocrite - mocking something at one point and then disliking it the next.
When it comes to fighting, Erik generally takes a more brute force method simply powering through most fights with strength alone. He is not above using dirty tricks or tactics either - cheap shots, poisoning, or sniping. After all, when it comes to a battle the most important thing is to win, and come out with most of his men alive. Chivalry and honor are for the knights and the dead.
- Likes:
- +Gorgeous Women: Cap'n Erik is a bit of a womanizer and loves beautiful and voluptuous women. His preference in this matter are women with lovely curves rather than being miserably flat.
+Excellent Food and Liquor: Erik enjoys fine cuisine and exceptional spirits - making it a goal for his crew to pilfer some from the local tavern and any wealthy locals. However, he is a glutton at his core, so he will eat anything that he can get his hands on.
+Freedom Seeking or Greedy People: Erik likes people who are not bound to any particular thing by silly things such as bloodlines or duty. Essentially, he admires individuals who end up doing things out of their desire or from their decision. He is even able to respect these types of characters whose actions born of their convictions - even if their opinions don't follow with Erik's.
+Glimmering Treasure: As a pirate and a greedy person, Erik loves precious metals, gems, or other valuable objects. He searches the world to find and claim such items for himself, including a gadget that will grant him immortality.
- Dislikes:
- +Chivalry And Duty: Mostly, Erik detests these two words since they seem to cause people to do idiotic things. For example, not taking out an unarmed or unaware opponent when you can do it and make your life a lot easier, or a person risking their life and losing because of some duty that they were saddled with by another person. If the word duty is to be used, Erik believes the only obligation a person has is to be themselves.
+Bounded Individuals: Erik loathes individuals who are defined by things such as bloodlines and honor. This extends to individuals who perform 'evil' actions because their ancestors were criminals, among other things. The path a person follows should be one that they choose of their own accord.
+Being Landlocked: As a man of the sea, Erik feels more at home when he is on a ship out on the open water, or at least, on the coast of a continent or an island. He does not like being on landlocked or stuck on land for long periods. He will get antsy and even moody.
- Motivations:
- +A Lass In Every Port: With an immense love of the ladies, Cap'n Erik has another goal while traveling the seas with his crews; when he isn't pillaging towns and ships. It is to find a beautiful lass or lasses in each port and have them keep his bed warm at night.
+To Own The World: Cap'n Erik is a greedy character who craves money, women, status, fame, eternal life, and everything else of value in this world. As such, he seeks to take everything in the world for himself and enjoy his sinful life to the fullest. He sees everything in this world as a potential addition to his collection.
+To Traverse The Ocean: An individual who is infatuated with the harsh mistress known as the sea, Erik wishes to travel and explore every inch of Earthland's bodies of water. His love of the sea is so immense that even if he were to give up his life as a sea-faring criminal; he would not give up his life of navigating the ocean and searching for treasure.
- Fears:
- +Being Stripped of His Freedom: He is an individual who prides himself on being free to do as pleases. Erik is afraid to have his independence removed away from him. However, this does not pertain to being in a jail cell. Rather, it is the right to be himself and forced to follow the rules of another.
+Losing Everything: As a greedy man, Erik Holmgeirr does possess a fear of seeing everything that he has taken and strived for taken from him - his crew, his treasure, his life, his freedom, and his women. It is one of the driving factors that make him want to find the path to eternal life.
+To Fade Into Nothingness: Even if Erik is unable to fulfill his grand goals of conquering the seas and owning everything of value this world has to offer, he still wishes to leave undeniable proof that he existed in this world - something that will withstand the test of time. He is afraid of ending up like his mentor and former captain - only remembered by him and a few other people.
