Position: N/A
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 134lb
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Clothing/Accessories: Around Alburn's forehead usually holds a headband that's either black, or light green like his eye with some black designs. There is no special reasoning behind it, other than him believing it makes him look cool! While to some others they taunt him for it, always asking him if he's going out jogging, or whatever! He also has one short hooped earring in each ear, light green in color as it is one of his favorite colors. As for Alburn's usual attire save for his headband consists of a black short sleeved shirt with a short black jacket over it with some silver designs coating it such as the crosses found on both shoulders. The jacket's sleeves only reach down past the elbow before stopping while the jacket itself only covers the top half of his upper body. Black being a favorite color of his fits perfectly with the shirt and jacket as he believes it helps give off a more mysterious nature to his person which he believes will get him lucky with the ladies. Plus it's very comfortable, so there's that. Around the top part of his jacket, and neck is a scarf, yellow like the beaming sun. For the bottom half, Alburn wears white jeans with black designs that go all the way down to the top of his black Timberland like boots. The pants are held together by two belts one on top of the other. Why he uses two belts is anyone's guess.
General Appearance: Standing at 5'6" and weighing 164lb, Alburn Homura typically sports a somewhat slouching posture whenever standing unless something occurs that would cause him to shift his stance. He has your typical athletic build, sporting a six pack, and all that good stuff, but still leans a bit on the slim side. His face lacks any blemishes or scars except for his missing right eye hidden underneath his black eyepatch. Alburn's eye is light green in color, and usually seen half open which further shows off his rather relaxed personality unless something greatly surprises him, then it would pop right open! There is also this grin of his that he is known for, a Cheshire like grin some might call it. To some the smile appears creepy, ghostly, while others may find it mysterious, or oddly comforting. Hell, some might say it is actually hot!
Personality: Relaxed, Artistic, a bit of a Dork, Knowledgeable at times, Friendly, Lazy, self proclaimed Charismatic, and Loyal are some traits that could best sum up this free spirited former Noble. If there is one thing well known about Alburn is that he's a pretty laid back person, usually seen just relaxing, or daydreaming. Despite actually being a pretty skilled fighter, and hammer user, Alburn is more on the lazy side, and isn't much of a fan of things like training, or fighting, finding it to be tedious, or too much work, especially since he had to go through so much of it during his youth. This lazy nature of his has made Alburn a lot more friendly, and easier to approach unless you are a woman he is currently flirting with. Despite that, he can still be a good friend one would like to be around, just chilling with drinks in hand. Alburn is the type to try and live his life with as little stress as possible, thinking everyone should just chill out, and take it easy.
Oh boy when it comes to women he finds cute, Alburn is usually one of the first people to try, and greet them, being one of the very few things he'd get off his lazy butt, and do. Alburn claims himself to be a charismatic gentleman which at times he is surprisingly able to pull off, but he usually comes off as the type of guy a woman would want to smack let alone spend some time with him. Despite his many rejections, this guy still finds the energy to get back up on his feet, and try, not letting one little no, one little slap....or one itsy bitsy headlock get the best of him! With that he is not much of a fan of hurting a lady, or watching others do it. In fact he despises those who would do such a thing including to little girls as he feels they both should be treated better. But of course there will come times where there is no other choice, and what must be done has to be done...
Another thing about Alburn is that he is pretty artistic, and also respects a good work of art. His views on art aren't just paintings, or drawings which he does like to do actually, but also the "art" of weapon crafting, and ship building, the latter he is mainly fond of. He also tends to view most of the world as art as well in one way or another that is ripe for the molding! Day after day things are always changing, either improving, or getting worse just like works of art. During his off times if he does not have his head on any...pillows, he could be seen painting, or drawing whatever comes to mind. He is also not a fan of those who look down on art, misusing, or abusing it. It could potentially bring you to his bad side.
On the matter of ship building, Alburn enjoys all forms of ships whether on sea, underwater, or in the sky itself. He has met people who were capable of creating such beauties, and in return thrives to be just like them some day.
Now when it comes to his Noble lineage, and being a Homura, Alburn is not a fan of them, or any Nobles for that matter. He's seen the dark side of his family which fueled the hate for Nobles in general, leading him to becoming a Pirate so he can live his life free.

Hometown: North Blue, Unnamed Island
History:
- The Noble Life:
- Alburn was born to two Nobles, Elizabeth, and Johnathon of the Homura family located on an island in the North Blue that was not as well known compared to the others. The Homura Family along with the Noble family Elizabeth came from as well as many others owned a great majority of this island in a similar fashion to the East Blue's Dawn Island. What might set it apart from Dawn however is the fact that this island was allowed slavery, something the World Government was aware of yet took no actions in handling. Alburn's family owned quite a few of slave as well that they treated inhumanely.
Not only were Alburn's parents abusive to their slaves, but to their own son as well. They wanted to mold him into a perfect Noble, a perfect Homura who could carry on their lineage. This involved nothing, but a lot of studying beginning at the age of five, and if young Alburn ever stepped out of line, he'd get beatings, sometimes leaving him bruised. The more this kept happening, the more he also saw how his family, and other Nobles of this island treat the less fortunate, the more Alburn's hatred for Nobles grew. He longed for wanting to get out of this, but he was but a child who knew nothing of the outside world, or how to leave this hell. Despite all of this, Alburn never gave up hope.
This unforgiving cycle would continue for another seven years until fate brought Alburn together with someone he was already familiar with...
- Pops and the Slave Haven:
- One night while his family was asleep, then now twelve years old Alburn found himself being woken by some strange creaking sounds. It wasn't the same type he usually heard coming from his parent's room which he normally ignored, but something else entirely, prompting him to get out of his bed despite his body aching from the beating he was given earlier. He'd then look out of his window to see some figures darting past his window, all of them looking pretty familiar. Having his curiosity get the best of him, Alburn sneaked out of his window in nothing but his pjs, and started to follow behind. From a distance, Al watched as these figures avoided some of the town's guards to his amazement. Alburn then (although poorly) did the same, barely managing to get by those guards.
After a while, Alburn was on another part of the island he did not recognize. it appeared to be a village, but more run down compared to the area he's grown up in. While sneaking around, Alburn noticed that more, and more of the people here looked familiar until it hit him that these were most of the slaves the Nobles owned here. Why were they here so late at night? Unfortunately, Alburn didn't have enough time to speculate as he found himself getting captured by a slave who sneaked up behind him. Al struggled, but the poor boy couldn't get away, and instead was causing a commotion. The slave brought Al into the center of the village where the other slaves started to gather, some of them taunting the young Noble while others seemed a bit fearful of a Noble finding out about their secret location. Some people started to contemplate killing him, but then an elderly, but muscular man with scars riddled all over his body showed himself, his presence immediately calming, and quieting the others. Alburn stopped his struggling once as soon as he figured out who this was.
It was a former slave that belonged to his parents, but was presumed dead.
He was here now, leading other slaves who seek to escape from their masters. He quietly judged Alburn, one of the things he quickly noticed was those bruises of his. He was familiar with the beatings Al gotten when he was really young. The old man sympathized with Alburn, deciding to let him come around as long as he wanted, so long as he kept this place a secret. From then on, Al would come here every night without his family, or anyone else know but the slaves. He bonded with them, played with fellow children slaves, but he mostly found himself around the old guy who ran this place who simply wanted to be known as Pops. He taught him many things, along with the beauty of art...and women. But all of those fail in comparison to the wonders of crafting ships. Pops was a skilled shipwright back in his day which he still holds to this day. This rubbed off on Al, although he still isn't quite as skilled yet, he vowed that he will become a greater shipwright one day. Alburn was also taught how to wield a hammer/mallet for combat, and to defend himself in case he ever ran into trouble. It was Pops' main way of fighting as well.
Everything seemingly was going well, but soon tragedy would strike...
- End of Hope? Slave Village Massacre:
- The village was not only being used as a safe haven for the slaves, but there was a ship also being worked on. One that could hopefully get them off this evil island. Pops was planning on a rendezvous with some people he use to work with before ending up a slave, managing to make contact with them. The now seventeen year old Alburn was prepping to leave the house, and go off to the village until he was stopped by his parents who found out about what's been happening. Guards were now on their way to this village, to end the traitorous slave's lives while Alburn found himself knocked unconcious by his own father after some more harsh beatings.
The slaves were just about ready to leave, the only thing stopping them was waiting for Alburn. After some time has passed, some of the slaves were growing impatient, wanting to leave now without him, but Pops didn't want to budge. At this point, he figured something has happened. Though, it was too late as the guards came in, and started their assault. A lot of the slaves were panicking as they saw their brethren getting slaughtered left, and right. Pops, and some of the other slaves weren't having it though, and started to fight back, holding their own against these guards. In the process, Pops also managed to call the people he was suppose to rendezvous with, informing them of what's happening.
After some time, Alburn finally woke up in the middle of his room. With a little bit of struggling, Alburn managed to get on his feet, and immediately headed towards the village to warn the others of the attack.
Little did he know that it was already happening.
- The Calvary :
- Arriving to the village, Alburn was greeted with bodies riddled all over the ground of the people he has grown to love, and call family. He then saw that the ship that was meant for their escape was set ablaze. But what really caught his attention was the sight of Pops being surrounded by guards who all had their blades, and guns pointed towards him. Al shouted desperately at them, and started running towards them. This took one of the guards by surprise, leading him to instinctively turn his gun on the approaching Alburn...
...and fire.
Al was shot clean in the right eye, causing him to fall over, and hold onto his face in anguish. Pops who had witnessed this went into a frenzy, and started taking out some of the guards before he was gunned down himself. All hope appeared to have been lost until a large ship made its way towards the village, catching the guards by surprise. The ship held the symbol a jolly roger upon it. These were the people Pops has been speaking to, the people he use to work for....or to be more precise, the pirates he was Captain of. These pirates hopped off of the ship, and began taking down the guards with ease. Once that was over, the first mate stepped off, and begun assisting the other pirates with retrieving any slaves who were still alive. The first mate then stumbled upon Pops' body. He was devastated at this sight, but then noticed Alburn crawling over to the body with a hand on the side of his bleeding face.
"P-pops....please...no..."
- A New Beginning :
- Al was soon quickly rushed onto the ship to be treated. Fortunately, he didn't lose a lot of blood, but now he had to live with only one eye. Once Al was ready, he, and the second in command spoke about what has occurred, and about their Captain, Pops. The pirate told Alburn about the crew which called themselves The Calvary Pirates, and about how Pops was their Captain. Not knowing where else to go, and being fueled by that massacre, Alburn decided to join the ranks of this crew, but it wouldn't last for too long since the loss of their captain caused many of the members to drift away from the crew. Alburn now the age of twenty-two found himself alone but determined to carry on his mentor's legacy.
