Character Name: Stede Bonnet Canon: Sail CRAU Canon History:wiki
Stede was in a game called Sail which is horror-esque game. There he did suffer from ptsd type trauma of things he saw and witnessed, giving him a bit of a hair trigger fight response. He gathered a crew around him to make himself feel more like home and to help those that were lonely, but only felt lonelier and incompetent at the end of it because it felt sometimes like everyone was patronizing him. Still he did learn how to toughen up a little and gained some tattoos as well.
Canon Personality: Stede is incompetent but resilient and a bit cracked too. he is used to being the butt of the joke and having been bullied, but he doesn't let it stop him from trying to pursue his dreams of being a really cool pirate. For him piracy means freedom from the constraints of society and his marriage, it means a found family, it means a chance to be flamboyant and wave a sword around while being a snappy dresser. All flash and flow. While he does quail a bit at the bloodier side of things, he's determined to learn and make his own way. He's also an avid reader and a bit stuck in his own head and fantasies and while caring and compassionate sometimes can't see what's going on right under his nose.
AU Name: N/A AU Birthday: 7/29
AU History: Stede was the only son of a family of hard-case criminal lawyers from the firm Bonnet & Bonnet. They were known for their ruthlessness and wealth. Stede spent his childhood with the solid expectation that he would join their ranks and was attempted to be groomed accordingly at a very strict boarding school that was also part of the family tradition to attend. Stede did not fair well there and came home more lily livered than ever.
He went to an even stricter High school and barely squeaked into the LSAT and barely squeaked into Harvard with a lot of his family’s money behind it. It was there he met Mary and courted her in order to do something right and to prove to his family he was worth something and wasn’t as gay as they thought. He even slept with her. This left them with an unintended consequence and they were pretty much pressured to marry- which they did.
Stede flunked out of Harvard and though his family still pretends he’s a lawyer for company and Stede even has his own office, he’s a disgrace. On his 39th birthday he was kidnapped by some people who wanted in on the Bonnet wealth. His father refused to pay him. The kidnappers felt so bad they let Stede go and Stede, who would rather not return to his old life, picked up stakes and went out into the wild blue yonder so to speak. With a new name and new identity.
He is freshly arrived in Kaisou, not as Stede Bonnet, but the Blue Phantom, a legendary biker who goes around helping the needy. Sort of like Batman. Except he can’t actually ride a motorcycle and he’s not very good at saving people. Still! He has a private bank account and a new life to lead and is more than ready to lead it.
AU Personality Differences: There's really not a lot of differences except his knowledge of modern tech. Stede doesn't usually deviate from the base of his personality
