Merci is a Gravehoof Porc Buccaneer who is captain of the Bocoe portrayed by Coestar during The Jewel of the Dingo Isles campaign.


Characteristics

Race and Class

He is a well respected Porc who is one of the most well known Buccaneers in the land.

Personality

Merci is a natural born leader who demands respect and admiration from his crew, especially with his fantastic mutton chops and Porc Skin Armor. Very straightforward and always trying to think ahead, he tries to get his crew through thick and thin without a hitch. He always stays calm and collected and never lets the situation get to his head in the heat of battle. However, he does show some favoritism towards the Porcs of his group over the Kobolds.

History

At some point during his career as a Pirate, Merci murdered the original captain of the Bocoe. Merci fashioned the former captain's skin into a set of armor that he uses to further intimidate his crew. After getting to know McCoy, they eventually get over the hurdle of his armor creating a bond. This leads to McCoy eventually becoming his First Mate. After receiving a map from Nisovin, he leads off on an adventure to Dingo Isles to retrieve a gem. He shoves off right away to get the gem, and sleeps for the first 13 days of the journey. His ship suffers some heavy damage during the Behemoth fight, and he is almost dragged to a watery death by a tentacle while losing a crew member, Jakelad. He starts to feel the heat when on the Isle in the temple, trying to rescue puppies from the flames. The stress and flames prove to be a little too much, as he struggles to get his crew to follow his orders and get anything coordinated done. At this moment, he loses some of his authority due to the severity of the puppies dying and them being trapped in a grill.

Kinney Boots and Captain Merci might have/had a sexual affair. Kinney's coat was in Merci's room while he was "sleeping" for 14 days. This is further suggested by Kinney's desire to be buckle buddies with Merci.

Notable Traits and Abilities

Weight Anchor Ahoy

His career on the seas prepared his body physically for the task of swinging anchors. Using the strength he's built up over time, he can swing a dangerous anchor around as if it was a bat, sending any poor sucker in his path flying into a watery grave.

Avast Ye Maties

He rallies his crew in a hearty cheer, giving them the energy to attack one more time for old times sake.

Jolly Roger

Merci's striking authority comes into full effect, allowing him to bend the will of his crew to get what he wants done.
