Character Name: Ragetti
Species: Rat (Dumbo)
Age: 25 (give or take ten cursed years)
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 100
Occupation: Pirate - Powdermonkey-er-rat.
Physical Description: A long starved form housed in bits of cloth and fur. Ragetti is so skinny that every bone in his body about shows through. His ears are ripped and pierced. Brown fur mixed with the occasional blond on his head and muzzle. The most obvious scar he has is a completely missing right eye - which as been replaced by a wooden one. He has a long naked tail that has a knot in it about 3/4ths the way down where the Bo'sun snapped it once. His feet and paws are bare and dirty. Along with just about every other inch of him. He's young for a pirate; but doesn't let this get in his way.
Albeit to moments of complete stupidity; the rat isn't an complete idiot - he actually has a vast knowledge of things; even if he can not read or write. He tends to be giggly - but is still dangerous when provoked. All his strength is in his back legs - he kicks. And hard at that.
History: Ragetti was born to a prostitute - father unknown and probably swallowed by the sea. He loved his mother and she did the best to care for him; she couldn't afford schooling but often read to him sea stories and poetry when she had the time. But when you have 10 something sisters; it's hard to make a living. Unfortunately for the young rodent by the time he was 8 years old his mother was sick and dying - the product of too many unclean sailors.
The boy was orphaned and took to the streets as a beggar and a pickpocket. He survived simply on the pity of others and his own quick paws. As he grew older his baby fat melted away and he began to thin out and reach for the heavens. At 14 he turned his attention to the ships sailing in and out of the harbor. Proving he could work - he scored a position as a cabin boy on a merchant ship. This was well enough work - but the sea proved dangerous; it wasn't three months into his new job when the merchant ship was boarded by a vessel known as the wailing wench Captained by a man renowned for cruelty; one Charles 'Woodpecker' Coxen.
The captain gave the young rat a choice - join his crew or die. The boy wasn't stupid so he 'X'ed' his articles and signed over to piracy. Thus began the hardest few months of the young boys life. Cap'n Coxon was a monster - he set about trying to harden up the soft whelp of a boy into a true pirate; but when Ragetti didn't mold as he expected; the Captain grew more cruel - even go so far as to carve the boy's right eye out in an act of punishment for not keeping it on the seas.
Now suffering and half-blind; the boy knew he had to escape. When the Wench sailed into Tortuga's harbor; Ragetti jumped ship and fled into the port. Coxon was furious and set about after him; he found him in a Tavern; being given a drink by a stoat older tomcat of a pirate - who in a act of brazen kindness - out crafted Coxon and his boys; shot the pirate captain in his hand and took off with the boy into the night.
He said his name was Pintel.
From that day; Ragetti has not left Pintel's side. They were apart of the Pearls Crew when they mutinied and over threw Captain Jack Sparrow. Thus, They became a part of Barbossa's crew and suffered the Curse of the Aztec Gold. For ten years they served as the undead till the curse was finally broken and they were shipped off to be hung. By Pintel's 'good thinking' they escape and became part of Jack Sparrows crew once again.
Ragetti respects the older pirate; admires him.. it could be.. that he even loves him.
