Day 21: Outgunned Combo 21 – Cloak & Dagger and Dark Light

Lottery Result: Cloak & Dagger and Dark Light, swashbuckling, and Angels/Demons. 

What has been forgotten over time is that underneath the conflicts fought with pirates, privateers, and official navies in the Caribbean was a hidden, more serious conflict – demons vs angels. And the frontiers were very, very murky, often with representatives of both supernatural realms meeting in the crew of the same ship. And when a pirate vessel went up against a merchant ship, it wasn’t always clear which side heaven or hell were on, or if they were indeed involved at all. Confusing times these were.

Edvin Blakesleye should have been dead. When his sloop was taken by the crew of the dread pirate Bobson, he caught a bullet to the belly. And that should have been it. But for some reason, the pirates decided to keep young Edvin around. Maybe it was the red hair? In any case, he miraculously recovered and became a kind of mascot to the crew. He quickly learned that as pirates go, they weren’t all that bad. The captain went after targets known to be very bad guys; the sloop Edvin had been on was run by a captain with a horrible record of ordering the slaughter of innocents, for example. Still, there was no way around it – the Green Wave was a pirate vessel, plundering its way across the seas. And over time Edvin became one of them. And he never told the others about the small voice in his head that sometimes gave him orders he couldn't deny.

Role: The Swashbuckler (C&D)

Trope: Too Sweet (DL)

Feats: Panache – he is very elegant, and can use Smooth + Style for Action and Reaction rolls.

Parkour

Blessed – this puts him on the side of heaven and gives him an otherworldly feat. 

Resurrection – this is his chosen otherworldly feat. If Left for Dead he can come back by creating a Bond to … someone supernatural.

Flaw: Sometimes zoning out at bad moments.

Catchphrase: "Hello friend!"

He also gets a point each in Fix and Streetwise, a rapier, a muzzle-loading pistol, some pirate clothes, and a sheet.
