Early Life
Richard started out as a bit of an enigma when he was young bought up in England by his father and mother who were both upper class gentry, he wanted for nothing as a young boy growing up in London, when he turned fifteen he abandoned his life as a noblemans son and absconded with a rather dubious young lady known as Lisa Darkscarlett, the pair of them ran away to Plymouth where they bought two tickets on a merchant vessel sailing for the Caribbean Islands, Richard worked hard as a member of the merchants crew getting rather a knack for sailing, and the knack for other things which where more productive in other senses then others, and so the tale of Richard Bladebane began.

Pirates, Mercenaries and Spanish
When he arrived in Tortuga six months later he was meet by the pirate, Captain Dakota who took him on as sailing master, he sailed with Dakota and his crew for a few years hunting the undead, navy and even working as privateers for france for awhile! then the crew of the Sea King were disbanded, Dakota was dead and the Navy was on their tails as well as the EITC, so Richard returned to Tortuga where Lisa had found them a room in the Soiled Dove tavern, there Richard began to look for employment elsewhere, he found employment with a band of mercenaries in the Wild Woods of Tortuga, fighting the undead hordes so that they didnt reach the township, after most of the mercenaries where either killed or too scarred to fight Richard left to seek new pastures and what not, he found a job as the first officer on board a rather dubious French sloop known as the Dark Warrior, Richard enjoyed this job, a simple life of fighting, sailing and drinking rum, that was until he was captured by the Spanish at the age of twenty.

Escape from prison and Jack Sparrow
Richard awoke in a Spanish Prison on a small isle in the middle of nowhere, he was stuck in a cell with a rather odd looking pirate by the name of Jack Sparrow, who helped him escape the prison, once he escaped the prison he found the island under attack by Jolly Rogers forces, whats more the island appeared to be deserted, all except for one William Turner who gave Richard a sword and told him to go to the docks, and was then attack by the undead, Richard ran to find Bilbo Beck the Captain of only ship on the island, once aboard they were attacked by the Harkaway, and Richard was made to walk the plank, Jolly Roger left him for dead but Richard was a strong swimmer and swum wearily to Port Royal where he was dragged out of the surf by one Richard Sternsilver.

Richard was given command of a squad of men known as the 'Swifts' in reference to the fact they were the fastest group of troops in the EITC Third Division's First Platoon, they used to brag that they were the best in all the army but that is more likely common bragging then actual fact, though to be perfectly honest they've never lost a battle apart from that one time in the Royal Anchor Tavern though to be fair that was a brawl more then a battle.

Marraige
Richard married Lisa eventually and they bought a house together in Kingshead, Richard and Lisa were married by Johnny Coaleastern.
