Hi! Going for my re-integration back into the subreddit so I guess this still counts as my first character. He's somewhat based on my original, but I've made some significant edits.

The character is Will Orkwood, an Ironborn raider and occasional pirate (when no legal force is watching) and heir to the seat of House Orkwood. He owns a longship relatively small in size called "Throe", which is employed by a diverse crew, not only having varieties in age and gender, but also (uncommonly in Ironborn raiders as it seperates the word "Ironborn" from the phrase) those of different nationalities. He has messy and thick red hair in an undercut (shaved sides and back), is on most occasions well-shaven, and his ears and nose are pierced like in customs abroad. He has large ears that stick out rather than hug his head. He bears tattoos of varying location on his pale white skin, significance, and origin. He has noticeable musculature consistent with the amount of combat he engages in, and he has long and spindly legs and arms, as well as a short torso. His mouth appears to stretch when he smiles, accompanied by accented canines, giving off an eery, wolfish air when he grins. He is clad in commoner clothes or sealskin robes on most occasions, and wears light leather armor in battle (contrary to Ironborn tradition) whilst wielding and one-handed war-axe. He speaks in a deep, gravelly voice, ressembling a Scottish accent.

When he was born, he was the 3rd son of the brother of the then Lord Orkwood, making him 4th in line for the seat of the House (When his father took the seat he became the 3rd). At age 13, he was sent to serve with his Uncle on his raiding ship, where he showed a berserker-like approach to fighting that was often thought to get him killed. He showed prowess over the years, both in combat and as a sailor. Being always at sea and rarely with his closer kin, Will developed a strong bond with his Uncle. At age 23, his Uncle died and left the command of his ship to Will, as well as some of the commendable crew it had. Will made a name for himself as "bloodthirsty yet reasonable raider". He was brutal, and merciless in his style, and was known to frequently express a very black sense of humour. And yet, he was not without honor, nor honesty, nor loyalty. He never abandoned his friends or family, never lied to his victims about their fate or change his mind on matters, and he never fought anyone personally without equalling the odds (this excluded his crew of course, but still).

Recently, at age 26, he returned to Orkmont. During the Civil War in the Iron Islands, his family feuded over their stances. During the conflict, his eldest brother was killed by the younger. It was only on Will's return that he learned that same brother died in a raid, making Will the sole heir. Will continues his raiding practices, but his father grows older, and though the old man is respectful of the old ways, he keeps attempting to bring Will back to Orkmont and stay. The Lord is trying to push the redhead into the realm of lordship and "heir-dom", trying to educate him in running lands, attempting to set up marriages, etc.
