So come take a drink, and drown your sorrows
Current name: Captain Gold Tooth of the Storm Bringer.
Real name: Anyone's fucking guess.
Species: Blue Dragon
Age: Anywhere from "Old as me gums, a little older than me teeth" to "older than the hills! Older than the tides! I've been around since God first spun this ball of dirt into existence! I'm older than-" and so on. Just go with the first one.
Past names: Lord Rahab of the Thousand Storms
Scourge of Uriel
Thunder King
Storm God of the Highlands

It is important to note that all of these names and titles are self applied. He made them all up, depending upon what he happened to be doing at the time, and what kind of story he intended on weaving with them.
Gold Tooth, as he is now, doesn't like it when people don't use the right name for him, and won't speak of past names or past adventures before he became a pirate. At this current time, he has been a pirate for only around fifty years or so, which isn't dreadfully long for a dragon. Beings that know him from prior experiences will ask for his name first, as his temper is mercurial at best, and he doesn't really give any warnings before he decides it's a good time to start a fight.
An ancient dragon, he might have fathered a clutch but won't talk about it. With a heavy, thick Scottish accent, it's rather apparent where he's from, but he won't talk about Scotland nor what drove him out of it to start his glorious career in piracy. Interestingly, he'll also refuse to talk about black dragons or the undead, and openly, violently hates both of them. He actually appears to be quite phobic of the undead, but rather than actively attempt to start a fight with them, he seems to favor immediately vacating the area as quickly as possible. Judging from what one can get out of him if he's brought into enough of a lather in regards to the undead, he seems to be of the opinion that killing one undead entity will cause more to suddenly appear, hydra-like, to join the fray. This suggests that perhaps he's had a very unpleasant encounter with a very talented necromancer, rather than any one specific type of undead being.
Gold Tooth is greedy, lazy and bad tempered, but laziness trumps everything else. He'd be evil if he wasn't so lazy, but he was probably more evil in his youth. He has definitely razed towns to the ground however, both prior to and as a pirate. He doesn't really seem to care if he kills people, but usually prefers to keep his murders strategic. Random, wanton violence and slaughter takes a lot of time and effort on his part that could be better expended doing more fun things, like eating, fucking, sailing, flying, sleeping, appraising his hoard, yelling at little old ladies from across the road, and making fun of people he doesn't like.
He usually tries to intimidate people first, before anything else, and prefers to be excessively flashy at almost all times. Like any successful pirate, he wears expensive clothes with lots of gold on them, and actually does have a golden tooth, the original tooth having been knocked out in a previous fight. He's an intimidating fellow, with a big fanged under-bite, thick and wild black hair, and brilliant golden eyes. He's taken to braiding small gold chains into his beard, and makes a cursory effort to keep his appearance semi-neat by tying his hair back in a small tail. Even while human however, he sports a long, spiked tail, a massive pair of leathery wings, and his head is crowned with not one, but two sets of long, sharp, bull-like horns, each of which is gilded gold to the midsection, and tipped with copper.
As a blue dragon, he can generate electricity and summon storms. While in human shape, he prefers to electrify his sword in order to fight, or in a pinch will just punch people in the face with an electrified fist. He doesn't care if he has to bite, and honestly probably likes biting. Occasionally, if galled enough, he might eat exceptionally difficult victims who don't know when to shut up and give him their stuff.
Most of the time though he just prefers to act scary, rather than actually be scary, as again, actually being scary requires an awful lot of effort on his part, and senseless murder might mean accidentally electrocuting someone he actually could have used down the road. Rather fascinatingly, Gold Tooth rarely reverts to his full draconic shape to battle. This is because if he did so, fights that he gets himself into would end far, far too quickly. A powerful, gigantic, ancient blue dragon doesn't have a lot to worry about, and frankly that's no fun. He intentionally works with this self imposed handicap, and has been known to lose fights due to his near total refusal to take his draconic shape. It's only under extreme duress, where he fully believes he might die if he doesn't shift, that he'll drop the human form.
Gold Tooth likes to spread stories and scary rumors about himself, and is well known for being a brilliant and charismatic story teller. He likes to pick specific people, without telling them of course, to be his 'rivals' so they can go out and spread scary stories about him on his behalf as well. A known liar, it is hard to tell which of his stories are true and which ones are bullshit, although he will occasionally end a story by claiming he died, so at the very least, those aren't true. He always prefers a good story over a true one, and will occasionally alter battle tactics in the interest of making the story better when he's done, because telling a good story is the most important thing and sometimes it's harder to bullshit something than it is to just do it.
He is quite the lech, and has a particular love of sirens. His crew is mostly sirens, and those that aren't are half sirens, both winged and fully aquatic, the only three exceptions being the draconic members of the crew. This goes further than him just liking a nice view while he's on deck, however, as aquatic sirens have the ability to control water, and the winged sirens, the wind. Put enough of the two together, and quite suddenly, as if by magic, he has the fastest ship in the North Atlantic.
Argumentative and boisterous, Gold Tooth gets into arguments a lot with a lot of people, sometimes over things that you wouldn't imagine could ever even cause an argument. He definitely likes to start disagreements for fun, and takes a lot of pleasure out of initiating, engaging in, and winning 'insult competitions', a fun little game he made where he antagonizes another person by being an obnoxious mouthy shithead, until they lose their temper, and hurl insults back at him. It's his favorite pastime.
Finally, he has a very, very foul mouth, and curses easily, using bad words as punctuation and flavor text. He doesn't seem to even be fully aware when he's swearing. However, he will get angry if he's told not to swear, insist that he isn't, and then continue to swear, probably a lot more than he was before.
