    (190cm)






    weight

    169lbs (76kg)






    hair c.

    blonde






    eye c.

    blue












    physique

    a shadow lingering in a poorly illuminated doorway, a silhouette shrouded in silkened simplicity. one marvels at vincent's towering stature. slinkish but sturdy, carved marble under a steady artist's hand. cut of stone and crafted from brick, one finds it wise to step aside when vincent lingers in their path.






    Hair

    sun-stained and sea swept, flaxen blonde hair curls under his ears and falls in waves against his forehead. sustained with lackluster upkeep and a pair of scissors split between the crewmates, to see his hair pulled back and out of his eyes is a rarity.






    Eyes

    one finds themselves often unable to describe vincent's eyes, always staring anywhere but the faces of those that surround him. the color of the ocean, clear as seaglass and stifled of emotions. upon first appearances, it feels as if he's looking through you. in reality, vince struggles retaining eye contact and often finds it easier to speak with his eyes trained on something rather than someone.







    dist. features

    ink paved skin, tattoos run up and down the length of his arms, chest, and neck; calligraphy painted in thick lines depicting a story or memory that he looks back on fondly. ⋄ cheekbones that rest high on his face, paired with a pair of expressive eyebrows ⋄ pierced ears and an affinity for silver jewelry

    SPECIES:
    Human

    ARE THEY GOOD AT THEIR ROLE?
    Lucy holds no fear when it comes to heights; she climbs amongst the rigging of the ship with ease, unafraid of the drop to the deck that waits below her.

    HOW DID THEY BECOME A CREWMEMBER?
    Lucy met Dorienne in a tavern and persisted until the captain let Lucy join the crew as the lookout.

    DO THEY BELIEVE IN SEA MONSTERS?
    She does. Her father used to tell her bed-time stories of the ocean and when she was old enough to read she consumed any myths she could find, fascinated by all the legends.

    HEADCANONS

    ~ Don't touch her food, she's likely to bite you.
    ~ She carries a short sword with a wolf engraved into the hilt. It was crafted for her by her father and is her most treasured possession.
    ~ When she is nervous, she will fidget with the silver wolf medallion her father left for her.
    ~ Scrunches up her nose when she is confused about something.
    ~ When stressed she can not sit still and either practices her combat skills or does tasks around the ship to expel her nervous energy.
    ~ Only slightly feral, though she is a bit lacking in manners.

    are they good at their role?
    if mary had been given more of a chance she would’ve been a fantastic princess. she did not run from it because she hated it but because she would not allow herself to be like her mother, unloved and dead in the birthing bed for a man she did not love. mary is clever and quick with a strong determination, she would be a magnificent princess or pirate.



    species
    human



    do they believe in sea monsters?
    mary while as she loved the stories told to her as a child about such creatures never believed them. she thought them tales, purely fiction.



    how did they become a member of the crew? how did they meet the captain?
    mary snuck aboard the ship late one night, it wasn’t until they were out to see that she realized her mistake. dorienne took pity on the young woman and brought her on, for a price of course. mary had to give them all of her jewelry which would be broken apart and then sold.

im so jealous of these fancy character sheets 😭

1689728865303.png lucia borbón, runaway princess



full name: Lucia Borbón
nickname(s) if applicable: Lucy
gender: female
1689728841968.png (just like this but with blue eyes!)


birthday: may 27th, 1702
place of birth: Madrid
personality:
  • hardworking
  • a bit cold/takes a while to warm up to people
  • enthusiastic (due to the above she might not show it much)
  • a bit fastidious due to her noble childhood
history/backstory : grew up as a royal, after her 18th birthday she would be held on a tighter leash so a bit before she ran off and joined the pirates, not wanting to live a royal life


role: royal
are they good at their role: she is good at doing her royal duties, but can rarely focus long enough to complete them due to her disdain for it. as for being a pirate, well, she's still learning. and she has a lot to learn.
do they believe in sea monsters: she wants sea monsters to be real, but she just can't bring herself to believe in them.
how did they become a member of the crew + how did they meet the captain: after successfully sneaking onto an empire ship traveling abroad, it was attacked by pirates. she was on the deck at the time, and watched the attack go down, frozen, while being a bit out of the way. she wanted to live that adventurous life so badly, and seeing them in action brought that spark to life. she begged the captain to join their crew, and the captain relented (how this part went depends on what kind of character the captain is, but the point is, it ended in her becoming part of the crew.)
likes: everything that has to do with being a pirate, the sea, and everything being clean and in good condition
dislikes: grime, anything that reminds her of her old life, and fancy clothes. this puts her in a bit of a difficult situation, since almost all of the casual or pirate-y clothes are sure to be at least a bit dirty or worn.
fears: getting found out and getting sent back to her royal life, or even going to prison. getting stranded from the crew. a storm destroying their ship.


are they a human, siren, or merperson: human
appearance description: long, slightly wavy chestnut hair that tangles easily, a slim, average height build, very blue eyes, and pale skin. she has a young looking face.


romantic orientation: straight
headcanons/fun facts: her favorite food is mashed potatoes, her favorite fruit is pineapple, and her favorite colors are baby blue and pastel yellow. early in her time on the crew, she ate a piece of wood because she couldn't tell the difference between that and the "commoner food".


hello player!

what can we call you?: Lora
your pronouns: female
triggers: mostly sexual stuff (this doesn't mean all romance, I love romance) I don't like having that in my rps, other than that I'm not really triggered by anything, and i'm not afraid to say something if I am uncomfortable
what adventures or mysteries would you like to see? some adventures through the more pirate unfriendly or mysterious towns sound fun


my slightly fancy div boxes aren't working 🥲

face claim
Luke Pasqualino








the italian.






the personality.


the virtues.

Charismatic

Since his teen years, Santino has been naturally flirty and playful. His confidence has always been there but he is the embodiment of Cupid, loving everyone and everything. Polite, social, positive, and has a good sense of humor. He encourages his friends and builds others up around him and gives them plenty of compliments. All in all, he has no reason not to be the ball of charisma that he is.

Bold

Santino grew up with a strong desire to prove himself to his artistic parents. Nowadays this bold nature has manifested in a fearlessness that borders on recklessness. He would sacrifice himself for his friends and always wants to advocate for the truth and justice. In another life, he could've been a judge of some kind. Instead, he takes the initiative to make others feel welcome and tries to radiate an enthusiasm he'd like to see in others.

Artistic

Having creative parents often means that some creativity rubs off on you but for Santino it was a little bit stronger than that. He has all the traits of an artist both positive and negative. He is innately curious, is emotionally intelligent and desires to leave a mark on the world. With the crew, his creative problem-solving is second to none, and finds the positives and negatives within scenarios.

Independent

Unfortunately, Santino's own strong belief system and mistakes have led to a path of independence. He isn't used to having to do things in a team but it does mean when given a solo task he excels at it. This is why he is such a good artist. He trusts himself and his intuition and is very self-reliant.

Idealistic

Having deep care and consideration for those around you is a good thing but it tends to lead to some idealistic thinking. Santino tends to expect a lot out of people and has an idealized version of those around him that often needs to be broken before he can truly love people. Due to this, he can be easily taken advantage of. But this also means he is the most generous and giving person willing to forgo his own needs for others.


the vices

Emotional

Despite how kind and loving Santino is, there are still some clear behavioral issues at play. His emotions fluctuate heavily almost as if he is suffering from a mental health condition. They were demonized in the 1700s. He is temperamental and can hold grudges against people randomly over little things. It's clear to most that Santino isn't trying to cause issues. The guy just has a lot of feelings.

Mischievious

Now this is where Santino is trying to cause issues. His playful nature and overconfidence allow him to pull jokes on friends and annoy enemies. He is quite the jokester but sometimes takes it too far even getting innocent parties in trouble as if he was a child. He is cocky and needs to learn restraint and control.

Nosy

Becoming easily bored is something Santino has to deal with often. So he often eavesdrops on others for creative inspiration and as a way to care for others without them knowing. He often gives unwanted advice or jumps to conclusions not helping his emotions at all. This is likely an inherited trait from his mother as she would do similar things to others.

Impatient

Santino has to deal with a lack of self-control a lot. He loves instant gratification and will often take shortcuts to fix things. He can be irritable and snap at others which is why he shouldn't be in positions of leadership ever. His impulsiveness doesn't help either, he doesn't think about the consequences of anything that he does and is often seen apologizing a lot and endangering himself for others.

Workaholic

When dissatisfied with other areas of his life, Santino ends up throwing himself into his work as a distraction. This hyperfocus state isn't healthy for someone as social as Santino as his work is usually very lonely. This is an inherited trait from his father clearly as his father would do exactly the same thing. He wishes to shake this trait when he finds someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

likes.

Painting and Drawing, Red Wine, Spirits and Liqueurs, Cheese, The Stars


dislikes.

Beer, Pork, Snakes, Rainstorms/Thunder and Lightning, Being Rushed





the history.

By the end of the 17th century unbeknownst at the time, the Renaissance in Italy was coming to an end. A style of art rising from its ashes was that of Italian Baroque Art that of which Santino's father was a master. From a young age, Santino remembers his parents throughout Europe for his father's commissions to the point where he was born in Sicily despite never even living there, his family being Sardinian, not Sicilian. Santino learned from his father the ways of the artist and many various drawing techniques. He learned early on how to draw a perfect circle, human forms, and landscapes. But what really intrigued Santino was map making, a profession relatively unknown to Italy as they focused more on painting commissions for the rich than exploration and the study of the Earth. He worked on his skills in his spare time which was often and often spend time at local taverns and pubs flirting with women clearly twice his age and challenging other young people to games. Moving around always had left him with a knack for getting along with new people and a charisma that could soften even the coldest of hearts.

Out of the blue, his father dropped the now 18-year-old Santino and his mother off with an old friend, an artist by the name of Benedetto on the Island of Sardinia. His father pursued a long-form commission in Rome. This was a terrible decision considering the strife happening on the Island regarding its ownership whether it be Spain or Italy. He left them there in his mother's hometown of Caligari in order to focus but to Santino, it felt like a stab in the back. He adored his father and believed he was learning art from the best. This place wasn't home to him at all and he soon realized that nowhere was. Traveling all his life had left him without a home, no friends, and no one other than his mother. Whilst being an apprentice for Benedetto, he grew close to his daughter, a half-Spanish-half-Italian girl called Phebe, and shared with her his dreams of leaving Italy behind and exploring the world. They quickly fell in love but if her father found out, Santino would be killed for it. They snuck around for a few months before eventually getting caught in the act by Benedetto. Santino escaped his fury and ran home before packing two bags, one of his art supplies and the other of his personal belongings. He knew what was to befall him. Benedetto, being a well-respected man, contacted the guards saying that Santino had defiled his daughter and beaten her. Santino could do nothing to stop this and so he kissed his mother goodbye and ran to the port clambering into a ship before it set sail into the open sea.

It took less than 3 days before Santino was found on the cargo ship headed to Tirie. Dragged from below deck and presented to the old man captaining the vessel he begged to be allowed to stay. The Sardinians would kill him if he were to return and he wasn't worth killing. He wasn't even 18 yet. So they put him to work on their vessel, gave him the toughest jobs and he managed to survive on board the Scorpion. However, Captain Ricci wouldn't let him stay there forever. He was abandoned on Tirie, forced to figure out life all on his own for the very first time. He approached various artists within the city to see if any of them could offer him a job. None of them would. Until an astronomer by the name of Charles Ness offered him an apprenticeship. Mapping the stars wasn't something he was used to but beggars can't be choosers. He spent the next few years of his life mapping stars across the various islands surrounding Tirie. By the age of 22, Santino was no closer to finding that piece of home he'd been craving for so long. He had a couple of friends who were nice to him but still felt empty in regard to what he wanted to do. He wished he could just get out there without any worries and freely explore the world and finally find the home he'd been missing yet never had.


the former relations.

Giovanni Coppola - His Father, an artist more concerned with art than his own family
Bianca Coppola - His Mother, a ceramics maker, and seamstress, always stressed about the family
Carlo Benedetto - An artist friend of his father's and Santino's former art master, stern and unforgiving
Phebe Benedetto - His first true love, kind gentle, and intelligent
Captain Alexander Ricci - The Captain of the Scorpion, the ship he was a stowaway on.
Charles Ness - An astronomer who taught him how to map the stars and the science behind the sky.


the new relations.





how did they become a member of the crew? how did they meet the captain?: Santino felt stuck in his life with no real home, friends, or family to call his own. He needed to get out there. How he met Dorienne was pure happenstance and Santino got put in his place immediately. He got talking with her in a bar on Tirie strangely enough. He talked about his want to leave the island and want for exploration. He also flirted with her a little which almost lost him the chance of becoming a crew member after a clean punch to the face. He apologized deeply, explained that he could be of use to her that he could chart the stars, and was an artist, that could map out the world for her. Which almost gave him another slap around the face. He apologized again for being stupid and begged for her to let him go with her on her ship unaware that she was a pirate of course. Once discovering she was he promised he wouldn't say anything and again asked if he could be of service. The charisma that he had must have won her over because he was quickly inducted into becoming the ship's cartographer and resident flirt.

are they good at their role?: Being a skilled artist and drawing maps for the past 7 years gives you the artistic skills to be considered good at your job and his apprenticeship under Charles helped. The odd fights he got into on Tirie made him a good pair of safe hands when things got ugly and he was funny which helps when on the sea for weeks at a time.

do they believe in sea monsters?: Yes. Those waters are deep, dark and full of secrets

# the first mate




# santiago cabrera










coded by uxie




nicknames bastien, bast(ard)
age twenty-nine
gender male
pronouns he/him
orientation biromantic bisexual

date of birth eleven of may, 1691
place of birth unknown region of france​

appearance conventionally attractive for a pirate. he's of average height, standing about five-foot-nine without his boots on. he’s lean and toned, with a physique not unlike a ballet dancer. his chocolate brown hair waves and curls in the salty ocean air, kept tucked away behind his ears or underneath his hat. his eyes match the skies during a storm, a blue-grey that's both fierce and bewitching. his skin is tanned, blotched, and burned from the many long years underneath the sun. despite the nature of his profession, he does his best to maintain some form of cleanliness. a well-trimmed beard rests upon his chin, with an impressive mustache upon his upper lip. his person is always adorned with the shine of earrings, medallions, and rings. his wardrobe is elaborate and extravagant, revealing just how vain he can be.

body modifications & scars two piercings in his right ear. a fading scar above his right eye that shaved a portion of his eyebrow away. another one on the left side of his upper lip. one more across the left side of his stomach. a bullet wound scar on his right shoulder. a tattoo on the right side of his ribcage. various cuts and bruises across his body at any given time.



personality grim and rough-edged, ever serious in the face of the chaotic world of piracy. bastien is a solemn figure, despite the frequent use of his dry sense of humor. he always seems generally displeased, known to keep his arms crossed, his gaze stern, and his eyebrows furrowed. he's impatient with questions and judgemental of those not knowing what he deems to be common knowledge. he tends to be more lenient with new crew, but he’ll tear right into anyone who’s sailed with him for years. he can be quite intimidating when annoyed. it does take a great deal to push him over the edge, however, and his anger is only reserved for those who threaten him and his crew.

despite all this, those who have sailed long with bastien know that he wasn't, and isn't, always so disapproving and indifferent. he can enjoy himself as much as the rest of them, whether that’s joining the crew for a drink, recounting a tale from his past, or leading the ship in a song. he knows how to have a good time when he wants to. his laugh is warm and his smile is contagious. it just seems like these days, he’s overcompensating for something. or someone.

yes, he comes across as hard to please, but he really puts up more of a front than he means. despite his gruff nature, bastien has always been a part of the howling eel. his loyalty should never be in question. he'll never not be protective of his captain and his crew— his family. he's said many a time that he would die for them, and he's meant that with every fiber of his being.

and for your sake, don't mistake his solemnity as pedestrian. the man's known for being quite sharp-witted and crafty. sure, he may disagree with a reckless plan, but that doesn't mean he won't contribute toward its fruition. he enjoys a daring escapade more than he lets on. he is a pirate, after all.

virtues & vices adventurous, blunt, capable, clever, courageous, daring, deceptive, debonair, disciplined, grim, impatient, intense, intuitive, irritable, judgemental, leaderly, loyal, observant, outspoken, overcompensating, paternalistic, protective, rational, realistic, reliable, selfless, serious, solemn, stern, strict, superstitious, tense, tough, vain



historical a baby, born to forgotten parents. a boy, raised upon the sea. a man, sailing to find his destiny. the story of sébastien renaud is perhaps the most common pirate tale known to man. not that he'll let the world know that; he's told so many stories that even he's taken to believing them as truth.



role the first mate​

is he good at his role? quite. being the first mate comes as easy to him as simply taking a breath of ocean air; he understands when to take orders and when to give them. however, bastién may take the position too seriously, but that has always been in overcompensation. he tries harder than he needs to, but he feels like he needs to throw some seriousness at the crew against the captain's laid-back nature. he believes he needs to act as the voice of reason against their impulsiveness, even though he’ll do very little to dissuade them from their ways.

strengths master sailor, skilled swordsman, accurate marksman, navigator (compass)

weaknesses climbing rigging, reading, rousing speeches, feedback

how did he meet the captain? chance; or was it fate? either way, it had been years ago. it has just another job, another ship, another crew. it was just another storm; the storm would pass, and it would be just another dawn.

it was not just another storm, and in its fury, he had lost his footing on the rigging and found himself swept overboard into the darkness. the waves beat him down, deeper and deeper. the air escaped from his lungs; his vision began to fade. frantic and desperate, he clawed for the surface, praying to the god he did not believe in. this would not be his end— not like this.

god did not answer his prayers, but another did. he was barely conscious when a hand grasped his own, pulling him from the clutches of his watery grave. he awoke, hours later; the sun kissed his face, the wind tugged on his hair, and the waves lapped at his feet. the dawn greeted him like an old friend. he was alive, but not alone. his eyes had opened to find a bewitching creature peering down at him. a merfolk, bathed in orange scales. dorienne.

fae had saved him from death, and he would not forget it.

how did he become a crewmember? throughout the years and their adventures together, dorienne had grown to trust the man enough to ask him to be her second-in-command when she got her hands upon her own vessel.

does he believe in sea monsters? though one would expect him to be a skeptic, bastien can't deny his faith in the creatures of the deep. he's been sailing for far too long to say otherwise.


likes elegant clothing, gemstones, the wind on his face, stargazing, sword fighting, sea shanties, sunrises, pineapples, gambling

dislikes stupid questions, seagulls, swimming in deep waters, storms, gambling, the second estate and those above them

fears drowning, heights



facts​

any question regarding his past before meeting dorienne or how he knows what he know is always answered with a grandiose story that may or may not be true. he’s a bit of a pathological liar.

he is frequently at the mercy of his own vanity. his eye is often captured by his own reflection. he’s drawn to sophisticated, distinguished, and expensive articles of clothing. he takes great pride in how he is perceived, and flattery is one of his shortcomings.

his tell has always been pulling on his left ear, happens when he’s lying or anxious. quite unfortunate, what with his impending gambling addiction.

he’s got a singing voice in the tenor range, and he’s learned a great deal of ship shanties and other such songs over the years. he sings to himself while he’s working on the ship, but if he’s caught in a good enough mood, he’ll lead the crew in a song or two.

he’s still left handed, despite being forced to learn to use his right growing up since the left was “made unclean”. the lashings he accrued never quite made an impression enough for him to listen.

he definitely knows how to read. he absolutely does not pretend to understand the written word, nor does he try to pass it off to one of the crew so they can "read aloud for the rest of them.” it’s just proper delegation duties as the first mate, really.

psyche









compassionate, resilient, dependable
A bleeding heart, a loyal friend, Arya's big gray eyes hold compassion and empathy for everyone around him. Love is his essence, yearning to be given and received in return. He puts on an air that everything is alright and every cloud has a silver lining for the sake of others, even if he doesn't believe it himself.

over-thinker, evasive, stubborn
To truly know him is to witness the vulnerability hidden beneath his serene exterior. Anxiety lurks in the shadows of his mind, a constant companion, shrouding his soul in uncertainty. He deflects questions about himself, his past, and his well-being, guarding the tender parts of himself with care.

history









He was very young when his father taught him their family’s craft, guiding his young hands as they first wielded a saw. Woodworking became his world - the art of shaping splinters and timber into toys, chairs, anything that brought him satisfaction. But was that all that life had to offer him in his small town? There was no adventure. No excitement. No new faces. Arya refused to grow old like this.

Fate's mysterious winds carried him aboard The Shadow's Revenge, helmed by the enigmatic Amos Callahan. In their first meeting, Amos weaved captivating tales of daring escapades upon the open seas, extending a hand in invitation to join his crew. Arya, bewitched by the promise of the unknown, could not resist the allure, and the hook was firmly set in his soul.

As the years flowed like an eternal tide, and the shadows of the night grew deeper, Arya came to know Amos more intimately. The captain's cunning and brutal ways both fascinated and repelled him, creating a tempest of emotions, as turbulent as the restless sea they sailed upon. Amos fell first. Arya fell harder.

Yet, beneath the shimmering surface of passion, a dark undercurrent emerged, revealing the glaring difference in their values. They clashed. They fought. They did not meet in harmony. How long could Arya live like this - morally conflicted with Amos’s methods, his unquenchable thirst for vengeance and greed costing the lives of their crew with each expedition? Arya still loved his captain. But he couldn’t stand idly by.

In a moment etched in sorrow, Arya made a heart-wrenching decision, betraying Amos and his quest for revenge. A storm of rage engulfed the captain, and he abandoned Arya on a forsaken island, turning away without a backward glance, leaving his lover to witness the ship's departure, a heartbroken silhouette on the desolate beach.

Left to face the elements alone, Arya found himself battling not only the unforgiving wilderness but also the guilt and pain of losing the man he loved. Take me back, he’d wanted to say, and yet a small part of him welcomed the solitude. In his heart of hearts, he knew he’d done the right thing. Yet, why did it feel so lonely?

It was on this desolate island that fate intervened once more. Captain Dorienne happened upon the castaway carpenter during a routine expedition. And the rest is history.

connections

















Amos Callahan



The captain of The Shadow's Revenge is bloodthirsty and ruthless, with a taste for merfolk blood. He claims someone dear to him was killed by them and ever since, he's had it out for them. Arya doesn't know if he's still sailing out there on the seas, but even if he was, he's not sure he's up for a reunion.

















Parents



Arya didn't know his mother. His father, Cyrus, refused to talk about her growing up. Arya often sends his father letters to reassure him that he's still alive and well. He hasn't done that in a while.

miscellaneous

















role

carpenter






are they good at their role?

absolutely. the art of shaping wood and mending the vessel brings him an unparalleled sense of calm. sometimes he'll add his own creative flair for a bit of a personal touch.






are they a human, siren or merperson?

human. though he has a great singing voice and people have wondered if he has siren blood somewhere in his ancestry.






do they believe in sea monsters?

yes. his ex has killed a few.






how did they meet the captain?

serendipity smiled upon him that day when the howling eel pulled upon the shores of a remote island. the crew was cautious at first, finding a malnourished madman on the beach a bit suspicious. however, dori rescued him, and for that, he is eternally grateful.






how did they become a member of the crew?

during his recovery, arya started doing random repairs on the ship not only to occupy himself, but also as a gesture of gratitude towards captain dori for her kindness. the reason behind her welcoming him to the crew later on, whether out of the goodness of her heart, or due to her ship's actual need for a skilled carpenter, remains a mystery to him. and despite the harrowing experiences he's endured on the sea, arya's grateful that he's back where he belongs - sailing the vast seas.






headcanons

✧ he smells of pine and wood lacquer
✧ when fighting, he uses brute strength to his advantage
✧ can carry heavy logs of wood without breaking a sweat
✧ likes making small wood figurines/toys rather than larger projects
✧ if he has time, he'll carve designs on the ship
✧ gift-giving is his love language

    Appearance
    no mirrors in the ocean. never gave half a whit what he looked like until he met those above waters. like a washed out cloth, drowned sands, cracked shells. too pale to be a frenchman. too dull, too grey. sure you ain't seasick? he just looks that. stop hiding down below, head up, get sunlight.

    hair's a bit dry, larch but faded. to his shoulders, just about. wore his fancy tricorne hat to feel a bit more human. he's attached to it now.

    as a siren? unearthly natural. pretty, almost; still looks like muck. not shiny as a mermaid. opalescent, but the bad kind. those sad lizard scales. his tail's dull, grey-green-brown, bottom of the sea coming up against the storm. a sinking ship's shadow cast against algaed waters.

    it's wispy, the tail. supernatural, polluted. a bit torn; he was born that way. sitting on the rocks, singing lullabies. his voice in howling winds. they always think he'd make a fine one. be their darlings, wives at sea. their boats crash. he eats their flesh.

Hello! I am Pilot, she/her, and I am excited for the chance of being able to write with you folks! Everyone's characters look so interesting and fun already, I'm eager to see where this goes. Pirates are the best \o/

I have no triggers really, but as for adventures I love giant monstrous beasties and ghosts born of the sea! Also mythological treasures and the chasing of such things, super fun

Misc
• Althea’s romantic and sexual orientation is more of concept. She doesn’t put a lot of focus in sexual relationships, but does have the tendency to fall a little bit in love with everyone she meets. Which is only fair—the sea is full of strange beauty, and pirates tend to have a lot more of that strangeness in them.
• At 5’2”, Althea is on the shorter side, but considers this to only be an advantage. It’s easier to climb the ropes without all the worry of long limbs and the added weight of a few inches, and a small spy makes for a hidden spy.
• Despite her belief in loyalty (especially to her found-family), Althea spares very little thought to her actual family. She has never spoken of who they are or what became of them, and frankly some of the crew wonder if Corven is her real last name at all.
• Althea is not overly emotive, but on the odd occasion the strangest joke will make her laugh in a very loud way that sounds extremely fake, as if she’d merely seen someone else laugh and was doing a very poor rendition of it.
• Althea has extremely lacking fashion sense, and will take anyone at their word on what looks good on her. She fluctuates between wearing the same efficient leathers every day and whatever flavour of the week someone has last recommended for her attire.
• Althea's favourite colour is green, a fact which is only evident when she takes a liking to anyone with green eyes or who seems to be wearing green at that very moment.
• Her middle name is Yennifer.

Personality
Althea isn’t the sort to bother with other people’s business, except for when it becomes her business. Which is to say, when the captain or coin gets involved. While Althea does keep a tidy awareness of her peers and surroundings, when it comes to her crewmates she maintains a self-imposed set of boundaries. To Althea, there is little purpose in gathering information for the benefit of her team if not a one of them trusts her enough to celebrate such victories.

Pirates do indeed get an interesting reputation, but in Althea’s experience comradery is vital. She puts a great deal of effort in maintaining a good rapport with the other members of the crew, and considers loyalty a key trait for anyone worth their salt. Despite—or, in fact, because of—her background of being tossed around, Althea considers finding a home on the sea to be something of great value, and sometimes that home is not a location.

Naturally, however, as a pirate, her first love is the sea, and her second is the gold that comes pouring from it. But that sounds less poetic on paper, doesn’t it?

Biography
Althea was born in a quaint little fishing village home to artists and folks with no wish to ever leave. St Ives was an idealic place to live, or so many boasted, even despite the odd Spaniard ship finding its way to their coast once or twice. It was on one such ship that Althea fled at a young age, only fourteen, and somehow (rather luckily) convinced the captain to let her work the ship for no pay. In return, she was taught the language and given a place to sleep each night, and the freedom to explore a world she wouldn’t have otherwise known.

For her teenage years, Althea worked with this one ship. A mercantile crew, they taught her the ways of the sea with little threat from outside influences as they sailed up and down coasts ferrying goods. In her early twenties, however, this ship was attacked by a band of pirates and ransacked for all valuables up to and including its crew. Althea narrowly escaped enslavement, although not all were as fortunate. Instead, she sequestered away in the belly of the ship where she couldn’t be seen, forgotten amongst the carnage.

After achieving freedom once she visited land, Althea approached The Howling Eel with the hope that her skills could be put to use. First let on the ship as a rigger, Althea soon proved valuable with her ability to remain unseen and unheard, and for a patience in gathering information that would alarm anyone who wasn’t, well, a pirate who appreciated that sort of thing on faer crew.

Althea considers herself good at her job, because it is in her opinion the sort of role wherein failure leaves one dead or captured, and as of yet she hasn’t had that issue. Well, perhaps she could be a ghost, but it does seem unlikely.

    Age

    27






    Gender

    Male





    -Keyon is tall enough to be picked out in a crowd, but not so tall as to be able to make out his face, making it easy enough for him to slip away when needed.

    -He always keeps his hair shorter because he hates it in his face.

    -His eyes are a lighter brown.












    personality





    -Keyon is often seen as jovial and humorous. He's friendly to what some people would think is a fault. He's quick to tell a joke or a story, but if you watch him close enough you'll notice his smile rarely reaches his eyes. Ever shifting, they scan the horizon or the corners of a room as if waiting for something to appear there.

    -His presence is big and boisterous. He'll sling his arm around your shoulders and buy you a drink, share a story or two, and then leave you wondering when you spilled all your secrets with nothing in return.

    -He's proud of his work (someone well versed in medicine is hard to come by you know) and when something goes wrong you bet he's the first to beat himself up.

    -If you're close enough to be considered a friend, you're close enough to rip his heart out.

    -If someone was to hurt anyone close to him, he's going after them no questions asked, and he's not above taking vengeance to the furthest degree.

personality — practical, exasperated, considers everyone on the ship hers to take care of
history/backstory —

role — Cook
are they good at their role? — Yes: their meals are often bolstered with fish she catches herself. Captain is good about stopping and getting fruit every month or so
do they believe in sea monsters? — No
how did they become a member of the crew? how did they meet the captain? She’d admit it. She was in a bad way. She’d fled a loveless marriage in search of adventure and got trapped in a small tavern. She’d learned to cook, but before that, she was expected to entertain the guests. She hated seamen, pirates, there was no difference. Until she’d met her. Dorienne was unlike any other pirate she’d even heard of. The captain could tell she wanted out and after trying her stew hired her as a cook right there. The Howling Eel had enough of a reputation that no one protested afterward.

dislikes — when the crew is reckless with their health, rum,
fears — Getting captured, losing a crew member, drowning

appearance description — Even in the heat of her galley, Ena wears layers. She’s never without her embroidered coat, the stitching a throwback to her past life, something she’ll add on to on rare quiet moments. She’s recently grown confident enough to grow her hair back out, after having cut it in spite when she left the tavern. Though she often still wears a hat. She usually has her swords belted to her sides, weapons she’s learned quickly how to use, even if she’s slow to draw them.

    eyes
    
   
    
A warm hue of blue. A welcoming
embrace. Exuding a sense of
compassion and empathy as she tends
to her crewmates, her eyes seem to radiate
a soothing warmth that naturally puts them
at ease. Cyn is expressive, reflecting a
myriad of emotions as she tends to
her crewmates. Her emotions are open
for anyone to see, one must only
look at her eyes. The desperation.
The weariness. The subtle flickers
of connection.

    

    

 


    
   
    hands
    
   
    
Cyn's father often traced
paths along Cyn's palm when she
was younger. These are hands that
care for others, he would often
whisper. Honed by years of dedication
and practice, Cyn's hands are a symbol
of her expertise and knowledge of
the human body and the care for others.

    

    

 


    
   
    distinct features
    
   
    
A small silver charm hangs
around Cyn's neck. Given to her by her
father many years ago, it has served
as a grounding object for her during
times of stress. Cyn often smells of
soothing herbs mostly used for
cleaning her workspace. Small silver
piercings adorn her earlobes as well
as small tattoos inked on her right
forearm of a raven.
