CHIP CAN BE SCARY PLUS ANGST BECAUSE I CAN

chip never had a name for himself, he accepted the title bastard because hey it made sense. he’s always just been “the bastard”, the people around him continually called him that so it must be true

what many people seem to miss is that you do not survive on the seas or on the streets by simply being the “bastard”.

no he survived because he learnt early that violence might be the only language everyone spoke, when sarcasm and snark couldn’t protect him anymore. he kept a knife under his pillow the moment he learnt this, it was like a broad sword in his too small hands.

the black rose pirates gave him family but they also showed him the true darkness the world had to offer and taught him to survive it with fast feet and rapid slashes

now, he might be a captain of a pirate gang but deep down he will always be chip the bastard. enemies learn to not underestimate the quips or the swagger after the first body drops.

unlike his co captains he has no qualms coating his hands with those who wronged him or those he loves. when he enters combat he teleports back to all the times he was scared, cornered by those who hurt him in the past. he talks fast but moves faster, feet silent against the floor, enemies not knowing where the man is until they see their compatriots fall, puppets cut from their strings.

they watch him shift and morph as he wishes, changing faces with ease. the only way they can recognise him is that shit eating smile that rarely leaves his face, even as unholy power escapes his body and watches his enemies eyes burn and melt without hesitation.

he lost one family. he refuses to lose another. he protects them the one way he knows.
