The air of Dauntaun was rich with morning dews, the outskirts of the town absent of movement. The morning smokes had just started to gather as the metalworkers set to their business... but one scene was rather different. Some of the townsfolk had gathered to witness quite the sight... specifically the sight of a man quietly playing away on a guitar. The large man was resting against a tree, as he had most of the days, with a jar for tips beside him. It had been a while since his arrival and appearance, but the people were now used to the presence. With a head wrapped in bandages, the man was strumming away without a word, masterful hands darting to and fro. The clink of beri could be heard as coins were dropped inside the jar in passing, the musician finally raising his head to look upward.
Cormad was in bad shape, the bruises and beating from the bar having added up to such a degree that it left him wrapped up almost like a mummy. Bare flesh was a rare sight over most of his form, the wrappings each done up considerably a while ago. The woman who had inspired the flame of a pirate had vanished the night he got the living hell beat out of him... but the Pirate hadn't given up. While recovering, the oldest Morre sibling had set to the idea of earning beri toward buying a ship. The marines had broke up the fighting fast enough, that was sure, and were now ever present in the town again. Stealing a ship might have been possible... but not in his state. As a man dropped another coin in, however, Cormad smirked and stopped playing.
Carefully rising to his feet, briefly using the guitar as a balancing point, Cormad at last stood to his full height. Hiding out like this wasn't his style... and as he carefully pulled away the bandages in front of the small morning traffic, the man's spirit was starting to boil over. The Harmonic Pirates were waiting for him... and so was that girl that had inspired the pirate to stop trying to hide in the shadows.
"Amelia... I won't let the fire you set in me die. I'm going to form my own crew... and take the world by storm!"
Tossing the wrappings from his head toward the ground, it revealed the once-wanted man from so many years ago. Cormad bore a series of scars, a trio of curving and jagged marks around his left eye, to mark the occasion. A bottle thrown at him had done the damage... but the attack had given him the truthful look of the rough sea dog that he was. It was time for the island to be turned upside down... by the Harmonic Ghost himself! Dauntaun... no, this entire Blue was going to learn what it meant to be in the presence of Cormad Morre, the once mighty and uprising pirate from the North Blue!
