Background
David was born at sea to unknown parents. Their ship sank off
the coast of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, but David was
rescued by an Aleut who happened to be in the area and taken
in. He was raised as a member of the tribe, never knowing the
names of his parents or even his own last name. The name David
came from the ID bracelet that was around his wrist when he was
found.
The tribe that adopted David was an odd one. Nearly every
member of the tribe is magically active in some way, from adept
warriors to numerous hamans that allow the tribe to survive in
isolation as much as possible. David was no exception to the
norm, manifesting physical powers at a relatively young age.
Trained in the arts of combat by those around him, David spent
much time on the water kayaking and staring at the horizon.
Needless to say, he was overjoyed when offered a chance to
leave the isolated Aleut village.
The elders proclaimed him worthy, and David was sent out to
Seattle to reclaim an ancient Aleut artifact from a collector
there. Unfortunately, David was unused to the security
measures of modern Seattle and ill-informed as to the customs
of the town. His odd appearance and ill manners caught the eye
of the local law enforcement, and, sensing an arrest, chose to
follow him. He broke into the building holding the artifact and
was quickly captured by the Lone Star officers following him.
En route to the police station, David managed to free himself,
with the artifact, and fled to the docks. In desperation he
signed on with a pirate ship and agreed to work for them in
exchange for a ride home. The pirates had other deeds in mind,
and, after taking him home, attempted to loot and pillage
David's home. The tribe managed to hold them off, and, once
again, David escaped with the artifact and returned it to the
Elders. David was confined to the tribe's village for the
remainder of the year as punishment for his near-failure, and,
once released from his confinement, he begged for any
opportunity to leave tribe. The Elders finally allowed him to
leave on his own, provided he checked back with the tribe once
every three months. David signed on with a pirate crew and
traveled the world seeking adventure, keeping his word to the
Elders. The details of his latest mission are unknown, but he
nows travels with the pirate Belle Morte, searching for
something...
