Dragons Whisper
Boom is a new lad in Curio, high seas drifter, tatoo of a two headed dragon spitting fire sprawled across his back, a sailors memento of some far flung port call on some bucaneering run. Has the body of a sailor too, does Boom Pearlman, all lithe and lean but rippling with well used muscles that can respond at an instant to anything a cruel sea or a crueler captain demands. Got salt in his veins, rope calloused hands and skin the colour of deep tanned leather, got that sea-board gait to his walk too and a swagger that tells you to mind your step, cutter, or you might just regret it.
But its not just a bit of shore leave that brings Boom to Curio, idleing away a few hours with a whore or a mug of ale. Its more than that now his dues are paid and his fortune made, its a change from sun-bleached deck to sandel-worn stone and a safer life ashore. Well, as safe as a life can be in Solis, where life ain't just cheap, its more or less free.
Strange choice, that. Solis. Could have gone anywhere, got the gold to do it. Dalhaven across the water, with its opulence and its fine ladies, or the Pearl Coast with its raven haired beauties and its carefree attitude, or any number of places he could think of.
But something draws Boom Pearlman back to Solis. Some softly whispered call, some instinct, some deep seated need.
And so it is that Boom Pearlman, privateer, bucaneer, salior, sits bare chested under the lilac scented leantoo at the Grey Lady Tavern deep in Curio Court, warming in the late summer sun that can just about make it this far into the bowels of Solis for a few hours a day, with a mug of ale to sip and a new life before him.
The scent of some exotic cooking catches his nose as a heavily accented voice catches his attention 'Hey, fisherman! Yes, you there, fisherman in the shady seat! What! you can't smell the delights of Abdoul Ibn Abbans cooking pot? Your nose not working? Eh?'

Reason for being |
Boom has turned his back on the sea, after working off his debts to the ships captain, and saving quite a lot of money. Hes come to Solis because it calls to him, and its a call he cant resist. He doesnt know what hes looking for here, but its something deep seated. Boom Pearlman is in fact the 'lost son' of a previous Solis Overlord. Literaly lost to the sea as a young boy, swept away while out on the Dal in a small boat. Half drowned, crazed with thirst and burn by the sun, he was found by a passing privateer, and ever since has been a sea going man. Hes all but forgotten his past life (he was only 6 or 7 at the time of his disapearance) though vague memories are lodged in his mind. He has a recurring dream of a two headed dragon - the tatoo on his back is testament to that. It is in fact a memory of a fountain in the Solis Castle courtyard, where he once played. The fountain is not actually a dragon, its made up of two horses rearing up, withthe water spouting from their mouths. Boom remembers it as a great two headed dragon though. |
Character interactions |
Boom is set to take up residence at the Grey Lady. He knew the tavern from occasssional port calls, and likes the location - close to the docks, but land-locked enough. He has no plans, but fate always has a hand, and things are planned for Pearlman that turn the wheel full circle. Suffice to say, the dragon fountains will whisper to Boom... |
