Dallan Venture

Dallan Venture is a crewmember of The Vixen’s Fury.

Backstory
Dallan Venture was born in 1723 somewhere in England, he is the son of a ruthless general called Aston Venture. When Dallan hit the early age of 10 his father started training him in swordsmanship, his favourite weapon being a straight sword, a weapon he would still prefer in the future.

On a cold night of winter his father came home drunk and woke up Dallan, Aston insisted on training with him and Dallan simply couldn't refuse. On the training field his father chose a sharp blade instead of the usual dull blade they would both use to train, Dallan did notice the blade looked different but he didn’t think too much about it. His father was really aggressive that night, it wasn't the first time that Dallan had seen him drunk, but this night it seemed different, more aggressive, after a few minutes of training his father did an upwards slash, cutting Dallan’s right cheek. The pain was unbearable for Dallan and he fell to the cold floor as he shed blood for the first time. His father soon noticed it and brought Dallan home in his arms, his mother, Judith, was naturally concerned for her son and angry at her husband, she treated the wound as best as she could, but the next morning, Dallan found himself with a scar on his face.

Years would then pass and 1750 came, Dallan had forgiven his father and fought alongside him on the battlefield. He was an excellent swordsman but a terrible shooter and rarely picked up a firearm.

In December of 1750, he fought against some pirates that tried to take his father’s outpost. Dallan and his comrades won the fight but things went south quickly, and on the night of that same day, Dallan found his father making a deal with the pirates. Turns out Aston was addicted to opium and owed the pirates money. Dallan confronted his father about it, and a fight occurred. When the fight was over, Dallan told everything to his troops and another general, the last one saying that he would do something about it.

The next morning he was woken up by the sound of muskets. His troops and his friends were dead in front of his eyes. Dallan was in shock, he ran over to his father. He was angry, a rage he had never felt before, with tears coming from his eyes as he heard his father reply, “It’s the only way, son. Goodbye.” Dallan was then hit on his head and he fainted.

Hours later he woke up, still wearing his usual white coat with golden ornaments. Dallan found himself on a small ship with one navigator and one deckhand. He was handcuffed, but it wasn't the first time, so he easily got out by breaking his thumb. Dallan could hear the two sailors talking; they were two slave traders, Aston had sold Dallan, he didn't have the guts to kill him. Dallan quickly rushed over to the deckhand sailor and snapped his neck, stealing his sword in the process. The navigator naturally noticed him and tried to fight him to no avail as Dallan quickly stabbed him in the chest, accidentally moving the rudder and making the ship take a different route. Dallan regretted killing the navigator since he didn't know how to control the ship.

Two days had passed since he killed the two men. He was running out of food and water, but the world was about to give him a second chance. He spotted the land of Puerto Dorado.

Appearance & Gear
Dallan is 27 years old and around 180 cm (6 feet). He has soft black hair and blue eyes, and his face has the remarkable scar his father gave him. He usually wears a long white coat that reaches to his ankles with golden coloured ornaments on his shoulders, with a shirt under it that is also white. Both his pants and shoes are black. In the beginning, he only had a regular iron straight sword and two obsidian daggers. But, after some time on the island, he ventured into the wilderness with Jack Darkness and acquired a blue gemstone from a golem which could be used with a broken blade he found when he first walked into the island. Now, this sword can take the shape of any sword Dallan can think of, but it first has to exist and he has to know about said sword. When it takes form, the sword radiates blue and it's able to cut through almost every surface, but the weight of the blade stays the same weight of the old blade. But, because the sword takes any shape, Dallan thinks he has to be very concentrated on what shape he wants since if he thinks of another shape, it changes immediately - which could end up having terrible consequences.
