Edward is an adventurous, charismatic, and altogether charming individual. He is quick-witted and has a playful, irreverent sense of humor. He has a flair and penchant for theatrics, as evidenced by his love of a good "fuckery". He is incredibly intelligent and a skilled strategist, as well as being able to improvise on the fly, though he can be easily distracted at times. He is a notorious pirate with a complex personality.

Despite his tough, devil-may-care exterior, Edward is actually a deeply sensitive and emotional person. As a result of his past traumas, he is easily hurt, though he makes a conscious effort to hide this facet of his personality from others, with varying degrees of success. He has a soft spot for the finer things in life, such as fine fabrics and fancy clothes, and appreciates originality and ingenuity in others due to his many years at sea. 

Character description:

External Appearance: Blackbeard is described as tall and imposing. People tremble with fear when they spot his ship or hear his name. He cultivates this reputation with weapons, smoke, and theatricality.

Internal Conflict: Beneath the fearsome exterior is a sense of ennui and a desire for something beyond piracy. He's shown to be very tender and kind when feels safe enough around others to be Edward.

Violence and Tenderness: His character is defined by a duality of violence and tenderness. He's capable of great cruelty but also demonstrates a capacity for love and vulnerability. 

Rules for RPing:

1. Though GentleBeard/BlackBonnet is my favorite pairing I'm open to discuss other pairings. OCs as well as AUs/Crossovers are welcome. I enjoy writing a modern Ed Teach just as much as one set in the series’ timeline or any other timeline.

2. I prefer multi-para RPers. One-liners now and then are okay, though, as I quite well know that RL issues or work sometimes do not leave enough time for longer replies.

3. I know real life can happen anytime, keeping us from going online and replying regularly. We all have a life, a family, a job. All it takes to prevent misunderstandings or disappointment on both sides from happening, is to write a short message, saying one will not be able to be around much for the foreseeable future. But also know that long gaps, e.g. months of not working on a RP, can be a real muse killer.

4. What I really hate? Unfinished RPs. So let's better not plan long story arcs, unless you're willing to see it through to the end.

5. Please, do not send a starter without talking to me first. I like to plot or at least talk about a general idea before we start to RP. Thanks!

6. If I owe you a reply for more than two days, you have permission to kick my sorry ass. But I really try hard to reply to all ongoing RPs. Main writing partner(s) always come first, though.

Note: I use AI tools to revise the texts I write with regard to flow and grammar, to refine them, and to better capture the mood of each scene. I also occasionally generate images with the help of AI tools, which I use for the RPs. However, all texts and ideas are my intellectual property. I do not let the AI do all the work. It is only meant to help me improve my writing style, as English is not my native language.
