Story

BORN OF THE STEPPE, DRAWN TO THE SKY
Steppe-borne. Rex keeps his true tribal heritage to himself, with only a select few close companions privy to the truth of his origins. Rex left the Azim Steppe and began to pursue sky piracy some thirty-odd years ago, and has only recently returned to his native homeland to pay respects to his late Ejinn mother.THE FORMER CAPTAIN OF THE KETTLE, THE JUGGERNAUT
After organizing a mutiny onboard the Bane of Bismark roughly twelve years ago, Rex assumed leadership over what he now refers to as the Kettle, a group of sky pirate companions rallying under his flag. His propensity for conquest and his steel conviction earned him the title of Fourth Dahlia Juggernaut, serving alongside five other Juggernaut captains under the massive sky pirate confederacy, the Frozen Dahlia Fleet.VULTURES AND SCOUNDRELS, THE LAMMERGEIER
After the retirement of the Bane of Bismark seven years ago, a grand warship measuring 172m in length was constructed to support the exploding population of Rex's crew. Named after Rex's second-in-command and closest companion, Lammy, the Lammergeier celebrated her maiden voyage with a months-long campaign of destruction and looting across Ishgardian and Dravanian airspace, kickstarting Rex's infamy.THE END OF AN ERA, A GOLDEN AGE CLOSED
After a long and storied history of piracy and conquest across Dravanian skies, Rex has finally retired, formally retiring his title within the Dahlia Fleet and relinquishing captaincy of the Skyship Lammergeier to Bonny Swan, his adopted Roegadyn daughter. No longer tied to his crew beyond friendship and occasional catch-ups, Rex now flies the open sky in a small skycraft he's named Pledged Shore. While days of conquest and pillaging are behind him, Rex picks up odd mercenary jobs here and there, and occasionally offers gunblade lessons to interested parties.

Hooks

EASY HOOKS
Daunting, seemingly (and truthfully) unapproachable. Formerly known sky pirate. Wears one insignia pin, which bears the crest of the Skyship Lammergeier.MEDIUM HOOKS
Frequently refers to himself as a Steppe Devil, lesser-known moniker for a Chaghan Xaela. Some anatomical traits may be recognizable as Ejinn (river-dweller) features, most notably his tail and secondary eyelids.HARD HOOKS
Ask/DM first. Former or current sky pirates may know quite a bit of Rex's storied past, including the magnitude of his conquests across Dravanian skies over a decade ago.

Music Inspiration

(GHOST) RIDERS IN THE SKY - Johnny Cash
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd
But he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever
On that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on, hear their cryTYPHOONS - Royal Blood
Dark memories like lightning strike
(Typhoon)
Shake and sway me through the night
(Typhoon)
Raging on behind my eyes
I'm doomed and I'm waiting
For light in my sky
Typhoons keep on raging
And I don't know whyRUN BOY RUN - Woodkid
Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you
Run boy run! They're dying to stop you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! Break out from society
Tomorrow is another day
And you won't have to hide away
You'll be a man, boy
But for now it's time to run, it's time to run

Lammy Jayden

Kettlemaster of Navigations

Second-in-command of the Skyship Lammergeier and Rex's closest companion. They met over a decade ago just outside of Ishgard where Lammy, freshly escaped from Garlean custody, tried to kill Rex on sight and gave him his iconic lip scar. Despite their rocky first meeting, Rex petitioned the captain of the Bane of Bismark to bring Lammy on as a frontline skirmisher. It is Lammy's influence that eventually led to Rex leading a mutiny on the Bane of Bismark. The Lammergeier is named after Lammy, on account of the closeness of their relationship.In regards to combat, Rex refers to Lammy as the sword to his shield, and in their golden days the two of them could singlehandedly take down Alliance aircraft with nothing but each other. Once they are working in tandem, it is often said that they become an unstoppable force.They can often be found bickering like an old married couple.ALLEGIANCE: Skyship Lammergeier
ROLE(S): Kettlemaster of Navigations, Knife Jockey

The Twin Hawks

Kettlemasters of the Frontlines

Two of the oldest crewmates who have been around since the maiden voyage of the Skyship Lammergeier, C'marah and C'verith are half-brothers and two more of Rex's closest associates. They act as another set of eyes and ears for Rex, and are two of the most experienced gunners and defense specialists onboard. While Rex gets along with them both, Rex has a special bond with C'verith, who shares his sentiments about loss, the value of family, and fighting the lasting effects of grief.The three share a strong comradery (not to mention spend much time together as drinking buddies), and while they are no strangers to butting heads, Rex does not underestimate the influence they have onboard the Lammergeier.ALLEGIANCE: Skyship Lammergeier
ROLE(S): Kettlemasters of the Frontlines (Weaponry & Defense)
CARRD: Lammergeier Hawks

Bernkastel Claye

Kettlemaster of Facilities

The relationship between Bernkastel and Rex has always been one based in quiet warmth, peppered with the occasional butting of heads and the exchange of heated words. However, there is a certain gentleness with which Rex treats Bernkastel, who is the successor to Kestrel, the original head of engineering. Over the past five years of being aboard the Lammergeier, Bernkastel has grown splendidly into his role and has earned a great deal of respect from Rex. He considers Bernkastel to be one of his closest comrades, and a perfect fit for the role of Kettlemaster onboard the Lammergeier.Under the table, Rex is paying Bernkastel a portion of his own salary in support of his personal pursuits while he is on temporary leave from the Lammergeier.ALLEGIANCE: Skyship Lammergeier

Bonny Swan

Pilot of the Skyship Lammergeier

Sweetheart of both the Lammergeier and Rex's heart. At only 20 years old, Swan is the youngest crew member onboard and considered by Rex to be one of the brightest and best he's got. Shortly after the maiden voyage of the Lammergeier, Rex found Swan travelling alone in a Coerthan blizzard, attempting to escape an abusive family situation. He took her in as his own, taking her under his wing and teaching her the ropes from the ground up.She has since grown into a prodigal pilot, surpassing even Rex's skillset. While Rex is not one to loudly applaud any of his crew, he harbors a great deal of paternal affection and pride for his Bonny Swan.ALLEGIANCE: Skyship Lammergeier - Navigations Division

Ansel Fyregohst

Of all the people Rex associates himself with, Ansel is by far the most eccentric among them. His almost fey, delicate features and calm demeanor act in direct juxtaposition to Rex, which is perhaps precisely the reason why they have become swept up in each other in the past two years. While Ansel typically acts as a balancing presence to Rex's crass approach to most things, vast, scarcely fettered power teems just beneath the surface of this mysterious court wizard.Despite not being an official part of the Lammergeier crew, Ansel is regarded as one of Rex's closest confidantes.ALLEGIANCE: ???
