Nugget is what most would call an irksome uchren, something that leeches off of other people without a care, a bother, a nuisance.... a burden.
he's young, and still impressionable, but he's learned a lot of things in his young life.
things like: if you're a hybrid, people think you're less than them. if your mother sells herself, it's expected that you should, too. if you refuse, or talk back... you get a beating that will last for days.
he ran away from that awful place when his mother died of some sickness. and there weren't many options for him.... so he became a thief.
everyone curses the pirates, but Nugget looks up to them. they're fearless, brave, strong, independent... no one can tell them what to do or where to go, or even what to be. they choose that for themselves.
his name? well, he doesn't know why he got that name... something about his mother being worth a lot of gold, and he would fetch a pretty gold nugget. that's what the man called him, and it stuck. if he had a better first name, he wouldn't know. but now, living in the streets, he calls himself captain (even though he doesn't have a ship, he plans to, one day)
of course, theiving comes with a price. he wears an eye patch over his left eye to cover the damage that had been inflicted by the man who sold his mother. his right leg is a wooden peg from just below the knee down, it was a horrible thing when he fell in front of that cart... he's lucky he didn't lose both legs. and his right hand? that is now a hook, a token of remeberance that some law men had given him when he was caught stealing.
(be who you want!)
