(reference picture above) | For one apart of the overpopulated human race. Sev has a hulking physique that puts most other humans to shame in compression. Standing at 7ft and 1in he towers over most that oppose him in any way, shape, or form. From years of hunting, fighting, and surviving the harsh seas. Sev has developed a very adaptive and muscular body. His entire upper-body is well defined with bulging muscle and definition lining. His lower body is quite similar; just not to those extremes. His legs are somewhat large and calf muscles bulge outward slightly. To sum things up: Sev's body houses 98% muscle with 2% body fat.
With his darker than normal skin, Sev is easily to distinguish among other humans if he so happens to be by others. On top of having such dark skin, he has a full set of ivory nappy dreadlocks on top his head with a black bandanna holding them together. The tail of the bandanna however is wrapped around the end of the massive locks of dread near the base of his head. It seems the bandanna is used to keep the smaller dreadlocks together while the tail is used to keep the end of the massive ones together. It'd quite genius, actually; and not to mention stylish. If all that isn't enough, how about the eyes? The eyes in his possession are honey golden and seem to glow in dim lighting. With such "oddities", it makes it almost impossible for him to hide in daylight if he ever needed to. How unfortunate.
Appearance wise, Sev can more or less be seen in the same gear with minor variations depending on the climate or day. Typically, Sev enjoys walking around shirtless. Not because he wants to show the body he has worked so hard to prefect, but because it's apart of his "survivalist instinct"; or so he calls it. He wears brown loose fitting jeans which are scrunched up at the body reviling a small portion of his calf's. If he is wearing the brown jeans, it's more than likely he is wearing matching footwear. His footwear of choose being sturdy marching boots or wooden samurai clogs. On the back of his neck resides a leather neck supporter. The reason for this leather supporting? None at all, other than the fact he thinks it adds class and character. (Or so he tells those unaware of his origin)
∞ PERSONALITY | {Chaotic Good} A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.
Getting past the initial meeting with this friendly giant. One will immediately see the jolly side of this male. Kingston S. Sev enjoys having a good laugh at his own expense or the expense of those around him (may it be ally or foe). Sure, he may be laughing at you with tears of joy cascading down his face, but that jolly and friendly aura radiating from his person gives off the vibe of good intent and nothing less. With such a friendly vibe pouring from the human giant, those (and strangers alike) find it unnaturally easy approaching the Pirate with their concerns, suggestions, or just casual small talk. Which is quite ironic, actually. Such a trait within smaller men is seen as weak and cowardly. However, Sev; being one with such an daunting figure. The trait is endured by those that have very little issue with the obnoxious brute. However, "It's all fun and games until someone gets injured", right? Well, if one seeks to cause any sort of trouble with Sev, his mates (this including the ship they sail upon), or innocent people. Said individual or group will be faced with an aggressive powerhouse.
Sev can't be all "buddy buddy pal pal" with those that threaten. So he stops them dead in their tracks with the force only an Kingston can display. His aggression is almost uncontrollable; acting as a light switch with off being "happy" and on being "ruthless"; not angry, but ruthless. He scraps with the movements of a Pugilist, strikes with the force of a point blank blunderbuss, and has the tactical resourcefulness of an Marine Tactician. However, he may be resourceful when he needs to. He is far away from being considered smart, but even further away from being considered a dumbass (no matter what those that know him best say). Simply put: Kingston S. Sev is simple when it comes to basic solutions to every day problems. He tends to make things 10x harder than they normally need to be, and this tends to cause a lot more trouble than its worth. To add salt to the wound that could have easily been avoided if he used his mental capacity, he'd laugh about it as he suffered the inevitable consequence of his idiotic actions. He speaks before thinking, grabs before looking, and devours without question (food and drink). How he even leads, let alone survives out at sea is well beyond humanly comprehension.
Though, to say Sev is a "bad leader" is like saying "a hawk has horrible vision". Sev has the qualities every good leader needs in order to, well, lead; he just has it in much smaller qualities than most. But he makes it up in one huge one, and that's with forgiveness and heart. How can anyone expect a loyal crew of followers if their leader isn't even inclined to forgive those that wished to cause them harm? They aren't, and more times than not. Those same people that follow them are the ones that would happily throw him under the boat if it meant they get to see and pillage another day. Sev tries to avoid this whenever he can, so he displays a whole lot of heart with a whole lot of muscle. He lets those that attempts to hurt live with a warning and unresponsive body (because he beats them within an inch of their life). He knows from experience a lot of evildoers or just overall bad people won't change their ways after tangoing with death. But who is he to take another mans life? He is a Pirate, fact. But why live a stereotype and give the Navy another reason to hunt you down like some savaged beast? Many Pirates want this, but Sev isn't one of them. And hopefully, his display of kindness will show his mates his true colors and moral as not only a human, but also as a grown man.
However, don't take his kindness for weakness. At the end of the day, Kingston S. Sev follows the alignment of Chaotic Good and does whatever it takes to make sure true evil will never prevail; even if this means killing to make sure. He kills without it weighing on his soul and carries each death with the utmost amount of respect and solace. "The death of one is greater than the death of many". With that being said, it's actually quite difficult to tell how Sev feels about those that oppose him. But, in the end, and if they live or die, one can make a pretty accurate guess on the subject. With such strict moral code, one would be under the impression Sev is a pretty capable Captain when he actually tries. Well, they wouldn't be wrong, but they aren't necessarily right either. He is very Indecisive for reasons one will discover upon sailing with him. He attempts to avoid all decision making with hasty judgement's and the first thing said that sounds good to him. And if things go to shit? He'll just laugh about it and explain how everything will be A-Ok. But being so indecisive seems to make him deathly honest. Kingston S. Sev gives very little about someones social standing or if they wish to cause him harm or not. If they ask a question, he will answer it truthful and to the best of his ability. This more than likely sprouts from his confidence as a brawler, Pirate, and man. He'll accept any challenge if they go against what he believes or is trying to accomplish in his career of piracy.
He displays such confidence with vulgarity of the highest caliber. He cusses like a sailor (because pirate, duh!), eats like a viking, sleeps like a bear, and scraps like a god among mortals. All in all, Sev is just a colorful individual that'll either give you a headache or a heart full of inspiration. Maybe both, who knows.
★ ANCESTRY BLOOD__
∞ KINGSTON'S AMBITION | Kingston's are seen all over history as those that cause "impacts to those around them". These impacts can be anything from gaining the will to rise against tyranny, go for ones true dreams and ambitions, and overcome odds otherwise unconquerable. Kingston's just have this "air" about them that radiates certainty, success, and strength; both physically and mentally.
★ QUIRKS__
∞ Due to losing a very stupid bet in the distant past. Sev must now consult in a Beli coin he refers to as "Bastard" when making any kind of decision with more than one choice. It's quite ironic, actually. He has let many Pirates and burglars walk away scotch free when he has caught these certain individuals stealing from him. Normally, his first reaction is to always beat these lowlifes within a inch of their lives in hopes they learn their lessons. But, "Bastard" says otherwise; the little coin always being on the side of the individuals doing him wrong more than anything else. The only time when Sev truly feels like "Bastard" is on his side, is during times of great conflict. He has learned over the years, the little coin can be capable of great things in times of need.
∞ Sev; like all Pirates has a very "distinguishing" laugh. And it sounds a little like "OHBABABABABA"

★ WRITING SAMPLE__
- Spoiler:
- "Now this is something I can get use too..."
The crew-less Captain mumbled to himself; floating within the center of the swimming pool thanks to the valiant effort of a yellow ducky inner-tube. His almond eyes were directly skyward on the crying seagulls above as the gentle push-and-tug of the pool rocked him ever so softly back and fourth. Honestly, Sev himself found it extremely easy to get within such an luxurious vicinity. All he really had to do was "casually" flaunt a "little" dough around then DING, instant royalty treatment. Bodacious hostesses catered to his every beck and call. They made sure the 2nd eldest Kingston's cup of whatever-the-fuck-this-shit-is-called remained full, refreshing, and alcoholic. But these booze couldn't even get a child intoxicated, plus, whatever it is tasted way to fruity for the manly man floating in the manliest Inner-tube money could buy. Lucky for Sev, he never departed Monroe without a few flasks of the hard good stuff. So he indulged himself on the contents of the flask instead of the feminine fruity drink they were INSISTING he shove down his throat.
"Maaaaan oh maaaaan! I know I'm supposed to be looking for Nakama and doing the whole "Pirate" thing. But this is just too relaxin'. OHBABABABABA!"
He spoke to himself as children, adults, and Pirates alike engaged in water esque activities with him being directly in the center of such joyous merriment. Sev would still be looking at the passing seagulls overhead, but couldn't help but notice the pull-and-tug of the pool became more violent and forceful due to such fun. He tried his best to ignore it and continued to take long swigs from the flask with closed eyes. Well, this was all before something massive eclipsed the sun overhead. He slowly opened one and watched as something extremely large and round descended upon him. Some type of pool-ball, perhaps? He ignored the quickly descending item with a small shoulder shrug and simply started using his free arm to move himself out of the way. Until the falling "ball" began laughing. Since when did balls laugh? He rose an eyebrow and leered up at the descending mass. Nipples, four chins, big head, and the biggest belly Sev has ever laid eyes upon. This was no ball... THIS WAS ONE FAT ASS MAN! Needless to say, the 2nd eldest Kingston began to panic; his casual single arm stroke now moving with increased speed. However, he'd ultimately realize this a little too late; the massive man belly flopping on top of him and creating one massive wave in the process.
"Am I.... Dead?"
He'd ask himself as he broke the waters surface still on his back and looking directly up at the passing seagulls; the birds now laughing at his sudden misfortune one by one as they passed. The massive man-made wave carried his motionless body over to the deepest edge of the pool; his head banging against the side every few seconds. He'd still have the flask in hand, though. Even in a "life or death" situation like that, he'd never let good booze go to waste. He'd slowly remove the top, bring the flask to his plump-lips, and gulp down whatever remaining alcohol was held within the container. He'd belch after doing this.
"Wow, guess not."
The manly yellow ducky inner-tube gentle floated by as he came to this astounding realization.
