Roman V. Wyck

Roman Victor Wyck, born on October 13th, 2092, started life pretty average. He had a pair of loving parents, Al Wyck and Lucia Romero-Wyck, who had to work hard to support the three in a small apartment complex in Queens, New York. Al bought out a bar, him and Lucia renovating it out within two years. When Roman was 3, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, though not terminal, and his father had gotten the bar into running order, calling it 'Wyck's Spirits', and it quickly gained traction within Queens.

At the age of 10, Roman's father, Al, taught Roman to play the guitar. Within the next year, he'd begun performing outside of the bar for extra revenue. This simple life of money-making in a poor part of town would sustain the family for the next 5 years. All the while, Roman began to develop feelings, though not for girls, and it was something he'd hide from his parents and his friends.

At the age of 17, his mother fell deeply ill, as her breast cancer had developed into a terminal state. Roman, in a hope of going out and finding a way to pay for her treatment, packed his things and left New York, with a group of traders moving southbound. He would learn that she passed away mere weeks after he'd left, and it kept him from returning to the bar.

With a few flings, and some jumps from town to town, he gradually moved south for the next two years. He learned basic medical skills while travelling, as well as very limited firearms training. He also came into acquisition of a Draica 12g shotgun, which he'd keep through his time in the Corsairs. Nearing the age of 20, the town he was staying in for the night was caught off guard, raided by a band of pirates. The place was lit aflame, the town guard slaughtered. Roman, along with a couple of other civilians, were taken hostage, and given a "join-or-die" agenda. Roman joined, obviously, though he subliminally did so to get out of his nomadic rut. This was the start of his interaction with the Corsairs.

Roman rose through the ranks of the Corsairs, though being not too popular. due to being gay and all. In 2115, while the Corsairs were causing trouble on the US-PRT border towns of Whitman and Southside, Roman was handpicked to be a Mudlark, given his honed skill with semi-autos and shotguns, and his keep-on attitude.

Roman can be seen around with a Draica 12g shotgun - it's usual wood replaced with an ivory wood - and a WASP .32 ACP handgun, along with a small pocket knife. He, contrary to what other Corsairs might say, doesn't flaunt his sexuality, and is generally more social and friendly to his peers, all while forcing authority. That, and his hygiene and dress-code are much more attractive than that of other roguish and dirty pirates.

On the 22nd of June, 2115, Roman was killed in a weaponry discharge accident from Privateer Serena Deluca. On the Sea's Knave, she discharged her handgun twice, both hitting Roman in the chest and killing him nearly instantly. The death was ruled as an accident, and not an intended homicide. Not many people really missed him.
