| Name: | Roland Ferris |
|---|---|
| Birthdate: | Mar 26 |
Growing up, it became clear early on that Roland was different from other children: the sea called to him the second he learned to crawl, terrifying his mother when he would escape her watchful eye and venture towards the waves, laughing and clapping the one time he drew close enough to nearly be pulled out by the tide. As he grew older, he would often plead with his father to take him sailing or to turn away work, citing the weather with an accuracy that some whispered was inhuman. If Roland warned of rain, storms would follow, and if he favored the day, clear skies would abound for miles.
Then there were the waters, when Roland grew old enough to follow in his father's footsteps and work his first ship. Weather aside, too often where Roland sailed, calm waters followed, making his shipmates believe him to be a good luck charm...until the Sea Witch came for the ship.
Destroyed by a powerful storm of her creation, every man aboard died, including Roland's father, with Roland being the sole survivor. In the aftermath, he came to face the Witch herself only to learn that this legendary sorceress, a threat to the lives of any sailor that crossed her path, was his grandmother.
Rejecting her offers of learning the craft and joining her in ruling the ocean, Roland found his way to land, and confined his service to pirate vessels. Proving himself a boon to the crew with the keen senses and mysterious calm waters that followed him as a result of his mystical heritage, he covered his true origins under the guise of prejudice: a man of color could only stay legit for so long in this harsh world, and only among scoundrels could he find his fortune.
His lovers alone learned the truth of his heritage, after Roland captained the Cerberus and confessed himself their first night sailing as men free to be together, from his first forays into the water to his meeting with the Sea Witch herself.
In the aftermath of Gemini's betrayal, Roland kept his silence as Ellis fought to hold onto sanity with his world view and sense of trust shattered.
He did not speak of the fact that they'd been thrown overboard, when Blair knew Ellis had magic in him and Roland was a friend to the sea. He did not speak of the fact that Blair could have shot them where they stood, nor of the fact that he was never rumored to dock at the ports Roland and Ellis were known to frequent.
He spoke not a word...but in his heart of hearts, as he and Ellis made their way on the water, he could not truly believe that Blair had completely given up his love of them for greed.
