APPEARANCE
Dartara is very much a pirate, in almost every sense of the word. His spikey hair is light brown,and his eyes so dark they're almost black. A rugged, rough fighter, he wears little armour. Years of constant raids, battles, and shipdog's work have hardened him physically, being near peak human condition. For a pirate, he has very few tattoo's, save his prison markings, and his ensignia, tattooed quite firmly on the lower left of his chest. He sometimes complains of this.
He also never removes a small silver chain from his neck, upon which hangs a small black gemstone.

In battle, choosing to forego conventional upper body protection, he is often completely without a shirt, and wears a faded, tattered dark-blue belt spat over A set of worn, off white fatigues. His only true armour-like accessories are his greaves and metal bracers, plated with an extremely durable metal, which is necessary for his combat technique.

PERSONALITY
Dartara is very rough and unrefined in his speech. His demeanor often leads to his being mistaken for being somewhat thick, as people think of him as too blunt and straightforward to be intelligent. The truth of the matter is that Dartara does not consider any part of his personality as something to hide. He often says what he has on his mind, regardless of any would be consequences, as he prefers to "let his sword do the talking... Or arguing, makes no difference to me.".

Dartara's fighting style borders on what some would consider barbaric. He strikes with ferocity, his attacks often accompanied by loud warcries, and a blade movement of swift forward strokes accompanied by slower, more powerful movements from unexpected angles. This is complemented, through a hybrid of Gun-Karta and swordplay, by a set of two large pistols, which he uses in close quarters combat as well as firefights. As this method requires him to change weapons consistently, his quick-draw is second to none. (Something for would-be opponents to be wary of)

HISTORY
An experienced pirate, the endless oceans of the world and chaos of war made piracy seem a natural choice of occupation,
aside from the fact that overseas trade is quite rare on a planet with seemingly only one landform. This means a much more common, and effective, method is air piracy. Raised in an uncivilised society of ruffians and outcasts, He was taught to take what he wanted and expect nothing less, however, he often plays along with the plans of others, and will help those he considers worth his assistance without offer of payoff or reward, essentially making him a gentleman by pirate standards. Dartara is the captain of his own ship that often raids small weapons caches or lightly guarded convoys, though rarely banding together with other pirate crews for larger assaults.

ATTRIBUTES
Weaponry

<The Vampire Thorn>
Dartara's pirmary weapon is his sword, the Vampire Thorn. A large, mechanical scimitar-like weapon forged from a hardened unbreakable alloy, it is somewhat segmented when drawn, as it compacts to 2/3 of its size when sheathed. The blade is black, with the thin red silhouette of a rose carved out of the centre. The edge of the blade is silver, but glows red/purple when it is charged, allowing it to slice cleanly through almost any substance. Dartara occasionally chooses to kill his opponents without this, however, simply to prove the sword's strength.

<Point> and <Flash>
Dartara also possesses two large silver pistols, which he can wield alone, together, or with the Vampire Thorn to allow him to engage enemies at any range, though this is more difficult, and he has not completely perfected this technique.
Both pistols are slightly oversized, but compact to 2/3 of their size, just like the Life Vampire.
Additionally, each has a unique attribute. By combining both pistols into one small rifle, one predominantly over the other, Dartara can refine his ranged abilities.
Point causes the pistols to be transformed into a black rfle, equipped with scope, While Flash makes the pistols into a white rifle capable of rapid fire.
Both pistols fire energy shells,by absorbing energy from the surrounding atmosphere and turning it into projectiles.
This process creates small residue, which is discharge much like a shell.

Ship

< Plague of The Rose/Stormblade Lightning > (Name is WIP, just needed one. PLEASE offer suggestions, anything could be better.)

Dartara's own custom airship, an older Cloudsplitter D-class interceptor, a model known for it's above average thrust speed and high grade shield capabilities, due to it's efficient energy core output. Many years ago, these lightweights were used to rush and engage enemies, as their speed and defense allowed them to close and attack with minimal to no damage. It's weaponry consists primarily of light guns and several medium cannons, as attacks often consist of firing runs at speed, and rushing enemies before they can mount a defense. The ships abilities are well suited for Dartara's usual battle strategy, of simply closing in quickly with all guns blazing, as well as giving him many chances for his favourite strategy: boarding.

Notes: Would really like any suggestions.
I wasn't sure if I wanted him to be themed by the rose thing, or have seperate unrelated pieces of equipment. (like a pirate. )
