Ryan the Dreaded: the pirate general

Attacking

Austonio Machete Michelangelo "Drayco90" Rasputin Elder III, Esquire, Practicing Wizard at Law: The bashit insane general

Prologue
Markus Thaowan and Cadwalader Owain Jones creep behind Leo, memorizing the twists and turns of the hallways. They turn a corner and find themselves at one end of a hallway, leading to a door. Leo opens the door and walks in, muttering about something being “out of character.”

When the door closes, they spy six figures in the hallway, alternately chatting amicably, glaring at each other, and completely ignoring anyone else. Making a careful note of the apparent guards, they turn and make their way back to the library where three of the other generals are waiting.

“Six guards?” Kenway says, “That’s one for each of us.”

“Drunkard’s right. We shouldn’t charge them all at a time, though,” Lloyd says, walking in, holding a small bundle. Placing it on the table, he unfurls it to reveal the close-quarters weapons of choice for all present. “I propose we send in one person at a time, to lure away one guard for a one-on-one fight. That way, we can take out the guards without alerting Leo that something’s up. Question is, who takes what, and in what order?”

“We’ll draw lots,” Markus says, “It’s the best way to go about it, so that we can individually prepare for each fight.”

Cadwalader steps forward, holding six small sticks in his left hand, along with a list of their opponents by description.

“You draw a lot, find your number on the list, and that’s your opponent.”

Everyone draws their lots, and makes a note of who they’re fighting.

“Just so that we know who’s going when, give me your number and opponent. Kenway?”

“I’m 2, and against the only girl there.”

“Markus?”

“4, and the guy with spikes for his eyes”

“Ryan?”

“I’ve got 3, and the blonde in green tunic”

“Lloyd?”

“Sixth, and the blue guy.”

“I’m fifth and have the blonde in fancy clothes. That leaves Austonio first against the blonde with crystals. Well, good luck all.”

The generals break and go about their preparations.

Attacker
Symbol =


 * -| Bio =

Born 1492, Ryan became new ores with pirates until he turned 18 and attempted to start his own crew. It was rough at first, with Ryan and his 2-dozen man crew forced to take on the English navy, until he vowed to work with the English against his won people, Spain. Ryan quickly established himself as brutal and ruthless when his raid on a Spanish town ended with the deaths of everyone involved, including half of his current crew. It is rumored that He was gifted with a 5,000 man fleet out of fear and respect by the English, whom he regards as worthy opponents and allies. He has a light-hearted sense of humor and attempts to be kind and courteous whenever the situation requires it. He will battle in 1v1 combat with honor.

Tactics- After the odd circumstances that lead to his being put into power, Drayco has proceded to thoroughly confuse his foes by...having about as much clue about what he is doing as anyone else does, IE none. His seemingly random and completely batshit tactics leave enemeis confused, disoriented and make him near impossible to predict or react to...but it's hardly an efficient tactic. How he's won anything is anyone's guess.

Defending

3,000 Swordsmen, wears full body suit of iron armor and helmets painted weird colors.

3,500 Archers, wears light leather armor with the same quiver size as attackers.

1,000 dudes with hammers. Not warhammers, mind you, just small, normal-ass hammers. No armor.

10 cannons. They fire cannon balls. Somehow the cannonballs make fire when they explode.
