[ while harri is climbing vane, which one of your muses is the most likely to be successfully decked by a 5’3 idiot with absolutely no combat training whatsoever. this is an important hc question. ]

Successfully being the key word there, along with no combat training – we have the following options:

Elijah Grey. 5′0″ Captain who can be KO’d by a strong wind tbh. The trick is getting past his lieutenants.
Weatherby Swann. 6′0″ Cowardly peacock who couldn’t fight his way out of a sandcastle tbh. Greatest guardians are his son, James Norrington and his daughter, Elizabeth Swann, and they’re usually Off Adventuring so he a Good Bet.
Abigail Ashe. 5′2″ Author raised up in all the ways of How To Be A Lady. Just make sure you go after her in a verse without Joji in it.
Fitzwilliam Darcy. 6′2″ landowner who very much abhors fighting and is most assuredly pants at it. Always nervous.
Stephen Maturin. 6′2″ doctor and spy. Not recommended though, because while you could deck him, he would demand a duel afterward and – being the fucking crack shot he is – chances of survival are slim unless you are dastardly and flee the scene rather than accept the terms of gentlemanly behaviour.
Loki Friggajarsson. 6′2″ Frost Giant / convinced Asgardian Prince. He would consider it fucking hilarious whether he saw it coming or not. Good sport.

This is a permanent starter call for Stephen Maturin, of Universal Pictures’ Master & Commander: Far Side Of The World explicitly.

These calls give me a heads up on who is open to interacting with whom (which is handy for those who have exclusives among my crew! ) and gives me an excuse to kick you starters whenever something crosses the mind, or blow up your inbox knowing who would be most wanted.

These calls also serve as a final tag dump – when this call is posted it indicates a character has been fully moved into the blog and is ready for action!

Forgiving

This is not Stephen’s virtue of choice. Indeed, one might even go so far as to say he is utterly incapable of forgiving a sleight. This is particularly notable when one considers the terrifying fact that Stephen is by far one of the best shots around – he practices his aim by having a coin thrown into the air and shooting it down, to put that into perspective for you.

This has lead to him winning most every duel he has ever partaken in – and there have been a fair few. However, following the torment he was forced to endure while he was captured, his aim suffered more than he bargained for. With considerable nerve damage to his hands, this is understandable – but the time between Stephen coming to realize the extent of his damage and the time in which he got himself into another dueling situation was brutally short.

Though Stephen aimed to maim, he ended up killing his opponent over something he normally would not have wished a man dead for. ( That is not to say he would not have been perfectly content with the aforementioned maiming, which once again illustrates the ruthlessness Stephen embodies when he is slighted. )

Stephen has a long memory – he catalogues wrongdoing over time and is known to lash out at unexpected intervals toward those who accumulate a certain wealth of grievances with him. This, however, is minor offenses and annoyances – greater things, such as successfully harming him or those he cares for in any significant fashion ( be it financial, physical, or emotional ) more often than not will lead to the death of the perpetrator in good time – or at the very least a slew of misfortune sent their way.

Stephen never forgets, and very rarely forgives.
