Character Name: Raphael Deliambre
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Birthdate: July 3, 1401
City / Region: Catanara, Calandria
House [ Birth, Marriage if applicable]: Deliambre by birth
Played by: Daniel Gillies
Appearance:
Raph stands at 6'3 and is slim but he is muscled from all the archery and sword training he has done. His hair is short and medium to dark brown depending on the light and his eyes are a hazel green which almost look brown when he's mad. He has a scar on his left forearm from an accident during his early days of sword training. His usual form of clothing is the simple clothing of someone used to being at sea and he prefers blues, greys, black and red. His boos are good quality leather with special soles made to resist slipping on ship's deck. His sword is always at his left side and there is a small dagger in his right boot.
Specific Skills or Abilities: Expert archer, skilled swordsman, experienced sea captain, professional carouser. He likes to build things when he's really bored.
Personality:
Raphael is the contrast to the examples of his older brothers Antonin and Lorenzo. Where they run cool Raphael runs hot and fiery. His confidence borders more to arrogant cockiness. The one trait he shares with them is being intensely loyal to the family and he won't stand for disparaging remarks spoken against his family, especially from the Montefiores. He' actually has more in common with Fabrizio but he's not in the least artistic and anything he drew would surely be so bad it would make cats laugh. At the young age of twenty-six he has earned his place as captain in the Deliambre naval fleet, and he's a fighting sailor, very unlike his merchant-captain brother Cesare. When not at sea Raphael is usually found carousing in Catanara's taverns; a tankard in one hand, a lush wench in the other and a big grin on his face. On land is when he is most at ease. At sea it's another story for there he is a force to be reckoned with both in and out of battle, and he's a fearless commander. Though he is very fond of women Raphael has vowed that there will be no woman who can claim or tame him as the sea has.
Character History:
Raphael is the sixth child and fourth son of Antonin Deliambre VI and thus, has more freedom to live his life on his terms than his brothers, even Fabrizio. With that in mind he studied hard so that he could better study and follow the options presented to him. While he was a hard studier he wasn't the studious type really so being a scholar wouldn't really suit him. He wasn't the oldest like Antonin so he didn't have to be as responsible and he wasn't as organized as Lorenzo. Since Rafael was a lot like Fabrizio he paid attention to what it was that his older brother did and wound up choosing a life on the sea as well and he went more along the path Fabrizio was on than the one Cesare took of being a merchant - captain. Rafe would rather have a battle any day.
Rafe loves his family very much and usually gets along with them, some more that others. He gets along best with Fabrizio since they're a lot alike and he prefers the company of his cousin Carlotta for the female point of view. It's not that he doesn't enjoy his siblings, he just feels that the usual Deliambre way of being cool and composed doesn't fit with his particular zest for life. He often felt that the composure was stifling. He'd much rather be free to be himself. He follows the rules of proper behavior when he is needed to but otherwise he's a free-spirit.
Writing Sample: It had been another successful trip for Rafe and his crew and now they were back in home port. Rafe was in his usual tavern haunt here at home, The Broken Arrow. He had a mug of their finest dark ale before him and his favorite serving wench Cara on his lap. A success yes - but also tiring this time. Or maybe that was just him. His shoulders hurt for some odd reason but he just chalked it up to a pulled muscle from wrestling with the wheel the other day during that brief storm. It had been a fierce one and at one point it felt as though his arm would be yanked from his body, the wheel had fought him so hard. He laughed at a remark one of his crewmen made and took a long pull on his drink. Cara leaned in and whispered something in his ear that made him choke. When he could breathe again he looked her in the face. "Stars woman, the things you say! You naughty girl." Grinning, he stood up, taking Cara along with him. He tossed a bunch of coins onto the table. "Next round's on me men!" As a cheer went up so did he - up the stairs to the rooms for rent, pulling Cara along with him.
