Description
Ht 6 (1.83m) Wt 220 lb (100kg)
Frederick is a clean-shaven, young man with short-trimmed hair. His
hair is Sandy blonde/brown, his eyes Blue to sea grey (depending on what
is most poetic at the time) and his skin is suprisingly non-tanned for
a man who has been at sea for his entire life. a very pale blue. He
also has pointy ears.
First Impression : Either a Fop, court dandy or actor. Lock
your daughters up.
Second Impression : Pirate, scoundrel
Background
Frederick was born in a noble family in the far off future (about 100
or 200 years), in the earth equivalent of the late 19th century. His father
thought it would be a good idea if he were apprenticed in the merchant
class to make a man of him. Not too merchant class of course, something
like a Ship's pilot is just lower-class enough. Unfortunately for Sir Roderick
the VI, the nanny he chose to look after his son was fairly hard of hearing.
At a young an impressionable age, Frederick found himself apprenticed to
a pirate.
Spending his entire life at sea, including his puberty, has made Frederick
a little tense. The huge exagerations of other fellow pirates, not to mention
the lack of female company (Nanny was in no way comparable to a real female)
has caused him to grow up with a certain view of the opposite sex.
Raised on a pirate ship, ship-wrecked; then adopted by Lady Lutetia,
who was struck by his resemblence to her long-lost son when Frederick wondered
onto her estate.
Personality
If it's female, try putting the moves on it. If it's married, try
it slyly. If it objects, try classy lines or bribery. If all else fails,
find out if it has a sister/daughter/mother.
If it's male, find out if it has any female acquaintances or relatives.
Frederick believes in honor, especially if it saves his life. He'll
always keep his word if it isn't inconvenient or if anyone is watching.
And will at least try to be sensitive and caring if someone may notice.
Growing up with pirates has not made him particulary well mannered or chivalric.
He does have the tendency to grovel when confronted with overpowering
opposition unless he knows of a daring and heroic solution (and there are
women watching). He will quite often chat-up the wrong woman just because
she's beautiful (even though she may be a demon or evil goddess), though
being desparate and inexperienced, not to mention unbiased, Frederick will
chat up just about anything that is probably female and probably humanoid.
He definately needs separate skills to cover his boasting and poetic
one-liners. He has an incredibly high streetwise skill but is still highly
naive about some of the more basic things. To Frederick, everything is
a sexual innuendo (hur hur hur hur).
There's no reason why Frederick should not develop more useful pirate
type skills, including field medicine, ship repair/maintenance, climbing
etc. Eventually he does aspire to be a court dandy. He would like to be
cassanova, someone who seduces nobles (see Dangerous Liasons movie). But
with the way the party is going, he would'nt mind becoming a famous hero
with a bevy of fans.
Recently he's been cursed. He can now detect magic items. He feels a
compulsion to collect magic items. All magic item behave in a non-normal
fashion when used by him. For instance, a chainmail hauberk of water breathing
has turned him into a Sea Elf.

Thoughts on other Characters
Just because there are female party members is not the only reason he
hangs around them. It's also because he happened to appear on a sea of
blood with them, and was marked by one of the same dragons as them. Also
the party tends to have daring adventures (which Frederick finds fun) and
they mix with nobles (some of whom are not only female, but damn cute as
well). He's hoping to either pick up some etiquette or some of the female
PC's.
Sera:
Frederick thinks - Cute and dominating, If only I could get through
to her soft side. She does intimidate be a bit, but she could be worth
it. I don't really want to get on her bad side, cause she could be mean.
She's disappeared now - I hope she hasn't been killed, it'd be a waste.
Mock:
Frederick thinks - Typical warrior, but he tries to think too hard.
I think if he just stuck to bashing people (which he's good at) he would
save us all a lot of trouble. I just hope he doesn't start insult archmages
and gods, again. It's bad enough when he risks us all by taunting dragons.
Mental note - make sure not to be within a fireball blast radius of Mok.
Not competition unless we come across a blind woman, in which case I better
be quick. Recently he's been dead and his wife has died. He may try to
get a new wife, personally I don't know why he spent so much time crying
over her grave, all he needs to do is get enough money together to get
her resurrected
Steffa:
Frederick thinks - Cute, but has airs. Just cause of her elvish blood.
I don't know, some people. She thinks she's too good for me, but no one
is. Damn handy at times to be around, except when other mages try to conscript
her. Recently she's seduced and stolen from me. Perhaps she likes me?
Michael:
Frederick thinks - This guy may have potential, if only he'd lose those
silly notions of his. I mean, the modern man isn't into honour and goodness
and monogamy. You should only be law abidding if there's city guard watching
you, it stands to reason. He could be competition, but luckily he's moraly
against being nice to women. I think he has a thing for Anastasia. I also
caught him chatting up a woman with wings and had to hit him over the head.
Princess Anastasia:
Frederick thinks - Beauty, money, power. Oh, and she's also single
(not that that has stopped me before). I have to prove how noble and heroic
I am to her. Wonder if she made it back home alright without us? Probably
I guess - she is usually in way more trouble when we're around than when
we aren't.
Prince Barov:
Frederick thinks - Hmm, could get me some good contacts in the noble
families. I should be friendly towards him. Perhaps I could even give him
advice to help him pick up women. I wish I had his kind of power, because
women are still attracted to him (i.e. Steffa) even though he is a Loser.
Katya
Frederick thinks - Not as pretty as some of the other women I hang
around with, and she has those scarey tattoo things. She's uncivilised
enough that maybe if I got her drunk .. hmmm. She went off back to her
forest with some sort of magic cube before I could get a chance to try
though. The other guys said the cube was the most powerful item in the
world, but at the time I didn't care. Now though, I would like to have
it.
Beren
Frederick thinks - Another barbarian like Katya. He's way more morose
though - probably because he follows the god of impending doom. Ah, well,
you know what they say about men with big muscles...
Seraia
Frederick thinks - A serving maid who wants to be an adventuress. She
has definate airs too - she could almost be an Elf. She's very cute though,
so maybe I should humour her.
