Shawn wasn’t a runaway, or an orphan. His dad is still alive, same as his mom. They didn’t die. In fact, he keeps in touch with his father. Instead of having a tragic past, he had a surviving past. His dad was a pirate, and his mom was a bar wench. He grew up on Tortuga, learning all the different trades of being a pirate. Pirating, in a way, is the only thing he knows, besides escaping, of course. Plenty of times he’s had to escape from adults due to stealing food from them. After a while, he stole his sword, stole his pistol, and accommodated a ship.

To him, life out at sea was natural. It felt better than anything. Over time, he got his crew. And soon enough, his acts of piracy started to become known. Due to all the escaping of his early life, Shawn could easily find ways to escape the Navy, thus, earning him the name, “The Spirit”, due to this ability to disappear from the Navy’s grasp.

After a while, he lost crew mates, and gained crewmates. As he grew older, her grew wiser… and became one hell of a liar. In order to escape the Navy’s grasp, he always had to lie to good people. The friendly inn keeper, the port workers, he had to lie to them all. At first, he’s even lied to his own crewmates. Telling them where they were supposed to be going, but telling the Sailing Master a different place. To him, it’s easier if people don’t really know where they are going, therefore IF the Navy caught them, they would not know his true intentions.

At a first glance, Shawn just looks like a guy who’s into sailing. But at the second glance, he might just have taken your gold and is now stealing any other things you have. The element of surprise is huge with him. If he has that element, he pretty much can get what he wants. It doesn’t work sometimes, but in the end, he does his best to stay out of the Navy’s grasp.

With brown hair, brown eyes and some stubble, Shawn gives off that he is young, but old at the same time. He’s roughened from years of working on a ship, but still holds some class to him, or what he thinks is class. He’s only seen the high class from far away, so he tries to at least look almost as decent as they do. Except, well, he’s got a few blood and dirt stains on his clothes. That probably wouldn’t make him the biggest hit with the ladies.

When people first meet him, they see a quiet man, who simply gives orders when needed. But once people get to know him, he gets to talking more, and tends to steer away from mindless conversation. He likes talking about things that matter. Life, death, which will be hanged next. Things of importance. Lately, he’s either been replacing some crew members, keeping old ones, and just trying to figure out his next move.
