~*~Pirate Roleplay Character~*~
Tumblr media
Name: Katarina “Kat” (She really only responds to Kat) Bloodrose
Nickname: Katy, Katia, Rina (which she hates), Fire-Kat or Wild-Kat, or Red (which she also hates)
Age: If you wanna live don't ask. But she's really about 25, but appears younger.
Gender: The fairer sex; female
Race: Caucasian - British decent
Rank: Pirate also known as an assassin
Family: Father - Jonathon Bloodrose (Pirate Captain)
Mother - Rosemary Bloodrose/Darling (High Class Lady)
Has other family members still alive on her mother's side but doesn't know who they are just that they're family name is, Darling.
Appearance: Lean, curvaceous figure. Appears fragile, but is stronger than most think. Deep green eyes that often show her emotions, with deep red fiery hair, down to the small of her back. Her skin is always tanned because she's on the open ocean and in the sun so much. Both Kat's ears are pierced with small silver hoops. And her right ear has several other piercings which also have either small hoops or jeweled studs. Several scars litter her body, mostly her back and arms. She has a lovely scar from naval to collar bone that almost took her life when she was 21.  Her usual dress is anything black. Normally, however, she wears skin tight pants, a low cut shirt that comes to just above her naval, a black waistcoat, and boots that rise to mid calf. Occasionally though, she'll be found wearing a loose tunic with a corset around her waist. However, when she's hiding her femininity, Kat wears slightly baggier black pants, a loose V cut shirt, with her breasts securely tied, and her black waistcoat and boots. Also, to hide her long fire-red hair, she ties her hair up and wraps it in a bandanna and tops it off with a tri tip black hat. A black belt is almost always secured around her waist to hold her "effects".
Tumblr media
The waistcoat, Kat wears mostly.
Tumblr media
Face Claim: Katherine McNamara.
Tumblr media
Weapons: Her father's cutlass, a pistol, and several knives in her belt, boots, and several other hidden places on her body. She can dual wield swords, or have a cutlass in one hand and a knife in the other.
Tumblr media
Captain Bloodrose's cutlass, that Kat now owns and holds dear as one of the last things she has from her father.
Tumblr media
Skills: Kat learned how to wield a sword when she was but a child barely learning to walk. She is adept with a cutlass in one hand or both hands. When she has a weapon in both hands she can be a whirlwind, able to defend herself against even the most skillful foe.  She can throw knives with deadly accuracy and can shoot a gun, but prefers it as a last resort. It's too loud in her opinion. Adept at subterfuge, Kat can sneak into many a locked room. Her lockpicking skills are masterful. She is also a skilled assassin, killing foes before anyone knows she's even there.
Talents/Hobbies: Kat can actually sing quite well, but never will do so in public. The attention embarrasses her. She enjoys dancing as well having learned a bit from the old couple, but never has a reason to dance. Kat can read and write to most people's surprise, but her father had made sure she had the knowledge. Kat also collects knives. It was started with her father buying (or stealing) some of the prettiest knives she's ever seen and ever since, she's had a fascination with the quaint bladed weapons.
Weakness: Her temper and sharp tongue often get her into more trouble than what is good. She also has a well placed fear of enclosed spaces. She hates them with a passion and always tries to get out of being sent into small tunnels or entries because she often freezes while in them. Cages, wether behind bars in a prison or in the brig make her panicky. Oddly enough, wearing a dress terrifies her as well. It's like its own bondage and she hates being bound in any form. She fears love as well as dying alone. She is a wild card and hard to handle.
Likes: Pretty things, even though she doesn't really wear much jewelry. Even prettier knives. Children, dogs, singing, dancing, searching for treasure, killing evil people or those she feels deserves it, sailing on the ocean, sweets.
Dislikes: Men, women... okay most men and women. She doesn't get along with people well. Black Jack, the mutinous crew that killed her father, enclosed spaces, dresses, fancy things like balls and people.
Personality: Kat has a fiery temper, a sarcastic tongue, and a suspicious nature, which many would say matches her hair. The woman does not trust people easily. She has a particular hatred for the men who killed her father. She toys with men's hearts every now and then if it helps her get what she wants, but she never lets it go 'too' far. In truth, she really doesn't trust men, since most she had ever run into were liars, deceivers, and backstabbers. She is a loyal friend, however, and a good confidant. Kat also is not one to lay out her problems and when she is hurt or wounded she will not ask for help. She does not want people to find her weak. Which normally means she'll be dying before anyone finds out she's injured, which attests to her very stubborn attitude.
Tumblr media
History: The only parent Kat ever knew was her father, who was a pirate. Her mother died giving birth to her in London. Kat's father raised her, on his ship the 'Grim Reaper'. As Kat grew older, her father taught her how to fight in hand to hand combat, sword play, and also fight with daggers/knives. She lived on her fathers ship becoming a pirate herself and grew to know the crew, although she didn't like most of them. The few she did befriend were like family to her and they treated her like a pirate unlike the others who belittled, teased, or flirted with her for being a woman.
One day when Kat was in her mid teens her father docked his ship in a seedy town. Her father figured that his crew as well as himself could use a rest after the pillaging they had just done. Kat and her father frequented the tavern to enjoy some ale and rum, while the crew came up with an evil plan. The evening after they docked, there was a mutiny. The crew killed her father, as well as any loyal to the former captain and took over the ship. The next thing she knew the crew tried to grab her, but fortunately she managed to escape with the help of her father's first mate, the only one left alive from the slaughter. Managing to sneak on land, though the mutinous crew was looking for her, she hid until there was a ship leaving port. Once she managed to stow passage on the ship, dressed like a man, Kat swore revenge on the mutinous crew.
Marcus, her father's former first mate and oldest friend took her away from the crazed, mutinous pirate crew. However, he was gravely wounded. The man took her to a pair of old friends and left her with them. The brother and sister duo were an odd pair. The woman considered herself a witch and knew many odd concoctions. The brother was a former assassin for the French empire. Both taught her how to fight in all new ways, to poison a blade, to blend into the shadows, and murder without being caught. Kat stayed with them for years until the nearby townsfolk got word of the witch in their midst and set forth to burn her. Francois, the brother took her to the nearby port afraid they would think she too was a witch. They disguised her by cutting her hair short and getting her baggy clothes. The Frenchman talked an old pirate captain friend of his to take her under his wing and that she would serve him well as an assassin. With that, the man left and Kat never saw him or his sister again. She never did learn if the two had made it.
For years, Kat kept her identity concealed until the old pirate captain grew sick and died. It was then time for the young woman to find her own way in the world. She let her hair start to grow once more and came across another brother and sister duo. They invited her to be a part of their crew, wishing to utilize Kat's skills for their gain. It wasn't until the brother, in a drunk stupor, tried to take advantage of her. Kat killed him in defense. The sister became enraged and attacked Kat. To the fiery haired woman's surprise, the ebony haired sister was far deadlier. The other woman managed to cut Kat from naval to collar bone. With such a dire wound, Kat threw herself off the ship grateful they had been near a French owned island. Somehow she managed to make it to shore, but passed out after. A kind elderly couple and their children found her washed up on shore and took her in. They nurtured her back to health.
When she was better, in the dead of the night, Kat snuck out. Leaving only a note and a few gold coins for their kindness, the fiery haired woman disappeared into the night. After that, Kat kept to the shadows mostly. Joining few crews and disappearing after a heist. Many referred to her as the Ghost of Shadows. Occasionally she would seek out higher paid quarries, using her assassin's skills to kill. It paid remarkably better than plundering as a pirate. As time slid by, Kat wandered from town to town, port to port listening for word of Black Jack and the Grim Reaper. But the ship had all but vanished, few going as far to say the vessel had sunk beneath the ocean's waves. It was disappointing and damn near heartbreaking for her.
One evening, Kat sat in a tavern in Tortuga. Alone in the back when someone approached her. The man said he would pay her in gold and information on the Grim Reaper's whereabouts if she did a job for him. It was the first news of her father's ship she had heard about in quite some time. Katarina readily agreed, not even caring who she was to assassinate. With that, Kat gathered her things and found the first passage she could and headed straight for her prey.
Her father's ship, the Grim Reaper

Conversation
Mom and I React to Game of Thrones 7x07
Before the show
Mom: "So that's gonna suck now that the Night King has a dragon."
Me: "Yeah, that's not gonna be good."
Mom: "They're gonna have to kill him with the dragon glass because that's how they made him."
-
Recap
Mom: "She's becoming evil."
Me: "Sansa?!"
Mom: "Yes. She's evil."
Me: "I don't think she's evil. I think she's confused. She's trying to reconcile her three major role models. Her mother, Cersei, and Margaery. And they don't blend. Daenerys is evil. She's becoming completely corrupted by the idea of the throne instead of why she wanted it in the first place."
-
The Map
Me: "Why is Oldtown still there?"
Mom: "I don't know."
-
King's Landing
Mom: "Look at them all. Oh, it's the meeting!"
Me: "It is a trap. She wanted Sansa there too."
Jamie: "Maybe it is all cocks after all."
Me: *chokes on my ice cream*
Mom: "Did he rattle you?"
Me: "Yes."
Jamie's a very pretty man, okay?
Rumbling
Mom: "Oh, the wildlings?"
Me: "The Dothraki. They haven't even seen Jon's side yet."
The Hound pokes at the box with the dead thing in it
Me: "Why does he keep dicking with shit?"
Mom: "He can't believe it."
Cersei: "If something goes wrong, kill the silver-haired bitch first..." *rattles off a list*
Jamie: *looks worried*
Mom: "Oh, yeah. She's lost her mind."
Bronn greets Tyrion and The Hound and Brienne glare at each other
Mom: "OH SHIT!"
Me: "'You didn't think I'd make it, did you? Wellll, I did.'"
Ellen Degeneres reference totally lost on my mom
The Hound and Brienne chat
Mom: "He likes her."
Me: "He respects her."
Everyone marches to the meeting place
Mom: "Why does this look like a set-up?"
Me: "Because it is. That's why Sansa didn't go and Daenerys isn't there yet."
The Hound tells everyone not to open the box
Mom: "Someone's gonna open the box."
Me: "Well, the box is getting opened anyway. It doesn't really matter when. It's tied up and contained."
Mom: "All the entrances are guarded."
Me: "Yup. This is meant to be a trap."
The Mountain walks up
Mom: "Oh shit! His brother!"
Yuron walks up and eyes Theon
Mom: "Oh, fuck!"
Me: "What an awkward group of people to have in one place."
Mom: "Where's Daenerys?"
Me: "She's got the dragon in case it goes south."
Dragon screech
Cersei: *shits a brick*
Me: "She hasn't seen them yet."
Mom: "None of them have."
Daenerys enters on top of a dragon
Me: "She's not stupid. She knows this is probably a trap. Try getting past the dragon to trap her ass."
Me: "Cersei's like 'Oh fuuuuck.'"
Everyone sits down
Me: "This is so awkward."
Daenerys starts to talk and Yuron pipes up
Me: "Oh, God. Even more awkward."
Jamie and Cersei tell Yuron to sit down
Me: "This isn't about you, diva."
The Hound pulls out the box
Mom: "It's gonna kill someone."
Me: "Nah, it's only one and there are so many people there who can deal with it."
The Hound opens the box, which takes forever
Me: "What's in the booooxxx?"
Me and Mom: "WHAT'S IN THE BOOOOXXXX?!"
The Hound kicks over the box and the thing runs at Cersei
Me: "OHHH FUCK!"
Jon: "We can destroy them by burning them, and we can destroy them with dragon glass."
Cersei looks uneasy
Me: "Yeah, she feels silly right about now."
Jon: "There is only one war that matters. The great war, and it is here."
Mom: "Cersei's like 'FUCK.'"
Me: "Jamie's like 'holy shit!'"
Mom: "Yuron's bailing."
Me: "Ew, did he just hit on Daenerys after he proposed to Cersei?"
Cersei accepts the truce
Me: "Huh."
Mom: "Wow."
Cersei asks Jon not to choose sides
Mom: "Oh, so he has to leave her!"
Me: "Daenerys gets it. She gave him the nod."
Jon pledges his loyalty to Daenerys
Me: "Ohhhh damn."
Cersei throws a bitch fit and storms off
Me: "Jamie doesn't like that."
Everyone agrees Jon did a dumb thing
Me: "At least he's honest."
Tyrion goes to talk to Cersei
Mom: "Oh my God. So many bad ideas."
Me: "I don't think she'll kill him because that will be an aggressive act toward Daenerys."
Tyrion finds Jamie outside Cersei's
Me: "Oh, shit. He already tried. I think Jamie's going to have to kill her in the end."
Mom: "She's pregnant."
Me: "He killed the Mad King when he wanted to burn everyone in the city. Cersei's willing to let everyone in the city die before she gives it to anyone."
Mom: "Is she drinking wine?"
Me: "Great for the baby."
Tyrion urges Cersei to kill him
Mom: "Fuck!"
Me: "Because if she does it gives Daenerys cause to take the city."
Mom: "Wow."
Tyrion walks out to meet the others
Mom: "I think she agreed."
Me: "What?!"
Cersei walks out with her entourage
Me: "It's gonna be conditional."
Cersei announces she'll march her armies North to fight alongside them
Mom: "Wow."
-
Winterfell
Baelish talks to Sansa about unnaming Jon and maybe getting rid of Arya
Mom: "God, why is she listening to this guy?!"
Me: "I don't think she is. He only thinks she is."
I might over-estimate Sansa at every turn, guys
Sansa and Baelish imagine Arya wants to be Lady of Winterfell
Me: "She knows that's not true. Arya never wanted to be a lady."
-
Dragonstone
Daenerys announces she's going to sail with Jon
Mom: "Bow chicka wow wow."
Theon asks to talk to Jon
Mom: "Oh, God. He wants to kill him. He wants to fucking kill him."
Theon starts talking to Jon about right and wrong
Me: "What the fuck is this?"
Jon: "What I can forgive, I do."
Me: "Awww."
Theon mentions Yara
Jon: "Then why are you still talking to me?"
Me: "Like he doesn't have to pick. If he goes and saves Yara. Of course go save Yara."
Theon gets in a knock-down-drag-out with what's his name
Mom: "Oh, God. God, he's gonna kill him. Somebody step in."
The guy keeps telling Theon to stay down or he'll kill him and Theon keeps getting back up
Mom: "Jesus!"
Me: "He can take a lot. He's been through Bolton Bootcamp. He's FINE."
And he was indeed fine
-
Winterfell
Me: "I think she's playing him."
Mom: "I don't think so."
Me: "She knows his game. She's playing him."
Mom: "She's very smart, so she's playing dumb."
Sansa calls Arya to the hall
Mom: "She's gonna confess."
Sansa talks about treason and murder
Me: "Him, not her. Baelish."
Mom: "BRAN CAN SEE EVERYTHING! OH MY GOD, HE KNEW EVERYTHING!"
Sure enough
Me: "Hahahaha! Oh, this is gonna freak him out."
Arya straight up slits his throat
Me: "Oh fuck."
-
King's Landing
Cersei asks Jamie why he's planning an expedition north
Me: "She's not marching north, the bitch. Come on, Jamie. Ditch her ass."
Jamie tries to talk sense into Cersei
Me: "She truly doesn't give a SHIT."
Jamie: "I pledged to ride north and I intend to ride north." *gets blocked by The Mountain*
Cersei: "No one walks away from me!"
Me: "Fucking bunny boiler."
Jamie walks out
Me: "YES! GO BE WITH BRIENNE! DITCH THIS PSYCHO!"
Mom: "He's taking the army! He doesn't give a shit what she says."
Jamie gets snowed on
Mom: "Snow..." *like 'why is that a big deal?'*
Me: "Because he's still in the South. Snow in the South."
Completely shatters her theory that the south would be safe from the white walkers if it never saw winter. But she was right about them not being able to cross water. She wants that noted.
-
Winterfell
Me: "SAM!"
We love him. Every time he comes on screen we're happy to see him
Sam: "I wasn't sure you'd remember me."
Me: "He remembers everything."
Bran: "I remember everything."
Bran tells Sam Jon is on his way back to Winterfell with Daenerys
Me: "'Who killed your dad and brother, by the by.'"
Bran tells Sam who Jon really is
Me: "I told you!"
Mom: "Holy shit!"
Bran: "He's never been a bastard. He's the heir to the iron throne."
Me: "Damn."
Mom: "It's gonna change EVERYTHING."
Me: "He doesn't want it."
Bran at the heart tree
Mom: "God, where is he going?"
Me: "He's tracking everything north of the wall for them."
-
The Wall
White Walkers appear
Mom: "They're coming! Oh, God!"
Me: "Bran's watching. He's gonna tell someone."
Mom: "THE DRAGON! IT'S GONNA BURN THE ICE!"
Zombie dragon!
Me: "Oh, fuck."
Dragon starts melting the wall
Me: "Their only chance is if Bran can warg the dead dragon."
Wall starts collapsing
Me: "Oh, God. Oh God. There it goes! OH GOD!"
WORRIED! VERY WORRIED
Mom: "THE WALL IS GONE!"
Me: "Fuuuuuck."
-
After the show
Me: "End of season seven."
Mom: "We did it! We're at the end now! Oh, God. It's gonna be terrible. So many people are gonna die."
Me: "I think everyone's going to die, except Bran because he's kind of everywhere."
