Not good enough as a sailor to be called a sailor but the boating life is for me. I listen to gossip and practice shooting my pistol, where my axe has come in handy more often than a sword would. I wear boots with no soles so I can get around "no shirt, no shoes, no service" stipulations in public, but my feet are really tough because of that.
As a young elf I developed a love of boating that ended up shaping my chosen life as a boathand. I'm friends with Blacksmith Marta through our shared love of pistols as tools, and "Slippery" Jack tends to tell all the tales to my slightly gullible ears. My shoes don't have soles as I need to grab the ground with my toes if I happen to be landbound. Which, if my setting is correct, I'm broke because my boat needs work in drydock and I can't exactly work without my boat.
