Name: Edward Teach (aka Blackbeard)
Canon: Our Flag Means Death
Age: 40 (roughly)
Appearance: 6ft tall namby pamby crying over his boyfriend.
Canon Point: S1E10
Background: Edward Teach, born on a beach.
CRAU: N/A
Personality:
( summary )
( an accidental essay )
Edward Teach climbed to infamy through blood, sweat, and tears – most of which were not his own. He’s not a good man but he is naturally good at leading. Edward is deceptively charming and quick-witted for someone whose legacy was built on exploiting the fears of the many he came across in his pirating career. Operating as Blackbeard, he was pretty intolerable about having sentimental attachments; loyalty was what he sought. There was no place for insubordination or vulnerability. He would just as easily cut the tongue out of someone who addressed him as anything but Blackbeard or Captain on his crew as someone he was robbing stupid.
Pirating fed into his adventurous side. He thrived on chaos and the theatrics of it all. When we first are introduced to Blackbeard on screen it’s after his curiosity is piqued at having the eccentric “Gentleman Pirate” rebuke his offer to meet, telling Izzy Hands that his boss could go suck eggs in hell. He’d been so good at striking fear and respect (synonymous in his eyes) that nobody had the nerve to speak so brazenly toward him anymore. He intervened when Stede went and got himself gut-stabbed by the Spanish.
The poor man was a goner. Edward, that is – not that he knew it.
Izzy did though. Blackbeard’s first mate was proud of the confident, competent sailor he served, and then, when he grew bored, erratic, and easily distracted it was his duty to keep Blackbeard’s legacy alive and his crew from mutiny. Seeing Edward’s fascination with Stede grow, he pulled him aside and proclaimed him an “insane, unpleasant shell of a man who’s merely posing [as Blackbeard]”. Edward was apathetic to losing a few of his own crew in saving Stede and vocal in expressing his (mid-life crisis) malcontent at the lack of excitement in his life. People saw his flag and surrendered – but Stede was different. A fun distraction.
Edward agrees to teach Stede how to be an actual pirate in exchange for lessons on how to be a genteel member of society. He ends up soothing Izzy’s attempts of resigning by telling him he was plotting to kill Stede and steal his identity. It was an easy ticket out until it wasn’t. The silks, the fragrant soaps, the gross misuse of space on a ship to include a formidable library and two chandeliers – Ed is enamored in it all, but most of all Bonnet. In Stede, Edward found someone that was just as mad as he was, someone that treated him like a human deserving of affection.
He is a broken, fragile thing. Raised in poverty, Edward was told that he would never be the type to have beautiful things. His father was an abusive alcoholic and his first (and only direct) murder. As a coping mechanism he made up “the Kraken”; a monster that raised from the waters to drag the man under. The damage was already done; the persona he curated was a clever mask to keep himself from getting hurt again. He confesses his plot to kill Stede and receives forgiveness and acceptance. Edward was in love. The self-hatred and doubt were never far behind though.
When Edward is left alone on the dock waiting for them to start their life together, he doesn’t even think that something could have gone wrong with Stede. Obviously, he wasn’t good enough. Stede had seen him and didn’t want him. He returns to the Revenge alone and licks his wounds and pushes forward. During this time Izzy tells him that he wishes he’d let the British kill him rather than watch him rot in his boyfriend's robes. Blackbeard was who he served, not Edward (who should 'watch his fucking back').
Izzy is fed his toe that night with the warning that it'd be the rest if he ever threatened his captain again. The season wraps up with Edward casting aside Bonnet’s playthings (his crew outside of two he felt capable), “killing” the one member of his crew that had tried to help him cope emotionally post-Stede, and reverting so hard into the role of Blackbeard that he goes Kraken. Terribly vulnerable. Terribly dangerous.
Weaknesses/Temptations:
Temptations: Outlets to work off the anger, pain, and doubt he harbors. Are they in vice territory? Perhaps. Maybe he just wants an excuse to maim someone that’s getting on his last nerve.
Weaknesses:
Stede. Stede represents the tender, earnest companionship Edward's never allowed himself but always wanted. Not once did he look at Edward’s insecurities, emotional outbursts, or his appreciation of finery and think that he wasn’t a brilliant man. He respected him as Blackbeard while being terribly fond of Ed. He is the personification of Edward’s desire to be loved unconditionally. Even after Ed regresses and distances himself from the memory of Stede it is clear that he still loves him and is grieving.
Sins:
Murder [ both direct with his father and allegedly Lucius and indirectly; via “outsourcing”]
Aggravated Assault
Human trafficking [ selling hostages ]
Theft. A lot of theft.
Destruction of property
Arson
Wanton disregard for human life.
Sodomy [ Calico Jack, Edward? At least sin in style. ]
Lying
Pride
Envy
Conspiracy
Cannibalism
Breaking his obligation to the Crown (via Act of Grace.)
Self-loathing
Wrath
Betrayal [ marooning Stede’s crew on a tiny island. Lucius. ]
Suicidal ideation
Powers/Abilities: Edward is your standard human man so the only “power” he has is being one persuasive individual.

NOTES
I play Edward as bisexual which means everyone gets a seat at Blackbeard’s Bar and Grill. Some personal favorite tropes include bottom!Ed, praise kink, and roleplay but that doesn’t mean I won’t absolutely adore playing out anything listed more favorably. If you don’t see a listed kink, ask! Seriously, I am a heathen. He’s a pirate.
Ed has a lot of emotional hang ups. I’m all for plot in my porn, but depending on wherever the deed is being posted it’s not always necessary.

PERSONALITY
Emotionally nourished men don’t order their subordinates to skin a man with a snail fork (even if he deserved it) but Edward did. There is a reason Blackbeard became a legendary pirate captain and stability was not one of them.
As captain he is a skilled, confident sailor. He’s always on his toes, always wanting more. Blackbeard doesn’t feel fear and he doesn’t really ask – he simply does. He is an enigmatic powerhouse and whatever he wants, he gets. Healthy communication and emotions are not concepts he practices on board his ship, but maiming is one hell of an alternative, and Blackbeard loves a good maiming.
He is the poster child for unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Through Stede, a maniac in his own right, we get to know Edward – a deeply emotional, fragile man that never got over his insecurities of not being enough. He grew up being told that he wasn’t the sort to have beautiful things. Stede, a wayward aristocrat, treats him as an equal; he shares the finery that he’s brought with him on the Revenge in exchange of learning about pirating from Ed. They bond and Ed finds himself someone he can genuinely call his friend.
Does he feel guilt for his actions while acting as Blackbeard? Yes. Does he slip into the role when he is emotionally vulnerable? Yes. But hey, he’s highly charismatic so he’s got that going for him.

BACKGROUND
Ed grew up wondering why he didn't deserve fine things. His mother worked as help for an affluent family and didn't shy away in telling him that they simply weren't "those people". His father was an abusive prick that showed neither wife nor son kindness. He was still a child when Edward killed his father after he was particularly cruel. He took his trauma to the seas as a sailor on Hornigold's ship.
Under the strict and questionable tutelage of his Captain, Edward learned what it took to be an excellent sailor and gained the admiration and loyalty of his eventual first mate Izzy Hands. Together they ran a tight ship. While there are hints that he is illiterate, Edward is intelligent and thrived on his knowhow, terrorizing whatever crossed his path. He was a pirate for many years before he came across Stede "Your Captain can suck eggs in Hell" Bonnet. Impressed by the absolute nerve this newbie had, he decided to drag his first mate kicking and screaming to have a bit of fuckery.

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: His love language is touch. Developed CR is appreciated.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He's a pirate so that's the uzh. Sometimes it's even flirtation. Please plot with me if you'd like him to actually get stabby.
RELATIONSHIPS: I am open to platonic and romantic. I play him as bi, endgame Stede. Shameless Ed/Izzy lover though. Developed CR is needed.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: His liver is more than likely holding on by a thread and he's heavily scarred. Wears a knee brace, the old fart.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: He has a terrible inferiority complex and a troubled past. Characters brave enough to assume they're better than him may not like the outcome, but I'm not going to shun negative CR. Please plot with me, good or bad. Pet snakes may also get the side-eye.

OPT OUT
Our Flag Means Death is basically historical fanfiction, so I'm not here mixing threads with the actual Blackbeard. If there's anything you don't wish to play with me, or if you wish to avoid spoilers, please let me know. All of my journal comments are screened and this is a no judgment zone. We're all here to have fun!
