coded by uxie

nicknames bastién, bast(ard)
age thirty-one
gender male
species human
pronouns he/him
orientation biromantic bisexual

date of birth eleven of may, 1627
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 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.

Spoiler: personality

personality grim and rough-edged, ever serious in the face of the chaotic world of piracy. bastién 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 bastién 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, bastién has always been a part of the night jewel. 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



historically a baby, born to forgotten parents. a boy, raised upon the sea. a man, sailing to find his destiny. the story of sebastién 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​

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

weaknesses climbing rigging, reading, rousing speeches, giving proper feedback

weaponry bastién’s a swordsman through and through. a delicate-looking smallsword stays buckled to his waist— it’s a rich weapon, and he’s never been fully honest on where he got it from. he also keeps a simple dagger stuffed in one of his boots.

how long has he been with the crew about four years, give or take a few months.

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

dislikes stupid questions, seagulls, swimming in deep waters, the bourgeoisie and those above them

fears drowning, heights
​

Spoiler: 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. his person is always adorned with the shine of earrings, medallions, and rings. 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.

both his fears of drowning and heights stem from his near death experience with a hurricane at sea.

he’s still left handed, despite being forced to learn to use his right hand growing 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.

• hair colour / style

  
  

  Cordelia’s hair is a striking, fiery red, alive with vibrant hues that catch the light and shimmer with golden tones when the sun hits it just right. She wears it long, allowing it to cascade down her back in wild, flowing waves. Often adorned with trinkets and baubles—tokens from the many treasures she's collected over her long life—her braids are a reflection of her adventures. Though she’s rarely seen without her leather hat, her fiery locks are most often left free, flowing freely as they tumble down her shoulders. The act of fixing her hair is something Cordelia finds oddly soothing, a quiet, meditative ritual amid her otherwise chaotic life.

  eyes

  
  

  An otherworldly teal-blue, it was as if she was made for the sea. Her turquoise colored eyes belies a soul much older than her appearance would reveal. While her face is usually passive and devoid of most expression, her eyes betray her inner thoughts like gazing through an oceanic mirror.

  build

  
  

  At first glance, she may appear to be the slender, almost delicate type—an ectomorph by all outward appearances. But this is a mere surface impression. Beneath that seemingly fragile exterior lies a vampiress of remarkable strength and resilience. Those who mistake her lean frame for weakness quickly learn how wrong they are, as any aggressor who underestimates her is bound to regret their decision... painfully.

  attire

  
  

  
  Cordelia is rarely seen without her beloved leather hat, and more often than not, she’s also wearing her long, weathered coat. Crafted by a master, the coat has withstood the test of time, serving her faithfully through countless trials and challenges. It’s a garment built to endure, much like its wearer.
  
  A practical woman at heart, Cordelia favors leather, knowing it can withstand the rough and tumble of her lifestyle. She prefers the freedom of flowy linen shirts paired with well-fitted trousers, choosing comfort and utility over the constraints of dresses—though she’ll don one if the occasion demands it, albeit reluctantly. A pirate, after all, is nothing without her belts and boots, and Cordelia is no exception. She’s become a skilled amateur cobbler over the years, patching and repairing her footwear to keep it in top shape, and her leatherwork extends to her belts and holsters, each one adorned with intricate scrollwork that speaks to her craftsmanship.
  
  Resourceful and prepared for anything, Cordelia’s attire reflects her readiness for the unpredictable life she leads.

  modifications

  
  

  As much as she would like them, nothing lasts on her skin. Piercings would close up almost immediately and tattoos fade within moments of inking. It's a bit of a sore spot for her as there are some sentimental pieces she would love to have immortalized on her body.

  scars / markings

  
  

  Much in the way of piercings or tattoos, Cordelia does not bear any scars on her body. Her form is nigh pristine save for the two puncture marks left between her neck and shoulder from when she was turned.

  physical / health ailments

  
  

  Cordelia, for all her mental fortitude, is a slave to her thirst for blood. Try as she might to fight it, she cannot deny it forever and must feed on human blood lest her hunger grow out of control.

  aroma

  
  

  Cordelia carries an intriguing scent, a blend of leather from the worn, well-loved garments she favors, mingling with the soft, heady notes of lavender, honeysuckle, and a touch of clove. It’s a fragrance that hints at the past—one that traces back to the moment she was turned, an ethereal signature that lingers in the air wherever she goes. The scent is an intoxicating part of her allure, as much a part of her vampiric nature as the predatory grace she exudes. It's a fragrance that lingers on the senses, both comforting and seductive, drawing those near without them ever quite understanding why.

  personality

  
  Cordelia is a woman defined by an unwavering loyalty and an indomitable spirit. Few can claim to be as steadfast in their commitment, and even fewer could boast of the same willingness to fight alongside someone as she would. Her loyalty is not easily won, but once it's earned, it's as constant as the tides— no matter the distance or time. Cordelia doesn't speak often, preferring to listen, allowing others the space to share their thoughts. Her words are measured, reserved for moments when she has something of true weight to contribute. This quiet demeanor, however, should never be mistaken for indifference. Beneath her composed exterior lies a woman with deep convictions, and when those she cares for are threatened, her silence quickly gives way to a fierce, unstoppable resolve.
  
  As a fighter, Cordelia is relentless and terrifying. In the heat of battle, she unleashes a ferocity that few can match, her experience and skill honed over centuries of combat offer her a unique situation to truly master her craft. Whether she’s wielding a blade, aiming down sights with her pistols, or commanding a ship’s cannons, there is no hesitation in her actions—each move calculated. She has fought through storms both literal and metaphorical, and the bonds she has forged with those she considers close are heartily defended. Betrayal is not something Cordelia takes lightly, and any who would think to cross her or those she loves would soon learn the price of their mistake.
  
  Outside the battlefield, however, Cordelia can surprise those who take the time to truly know her. While she maintains a certain distance from others, preferring to keep her emotions under wraps, those who earn her trust find a woman capable of tender warmth and heart. She’s not one for grand gestures or loud proclamations, but she’s capable of moments of genuine kindness. It takes time, and patience, to reach that softer side of Cordelia, as she has been shaped by the pain of centuries, marked by loss and the isolation that comes with being a vampire but her heart is not as frozen as she would have one believe.
  
  The scars of her long life are not just physical—they run deep into her heart, a constant reminder of the loved ones she has outlived and the friends who have faded into dust. Her cynicism is a defense mechanism, the armor she wears against the relentless march of time and the people who inevitably come and go. Though she yearns for closeness and even the possibility of love, she has long since come to fear it. The fear of abandonment, of watching another person slip away, is a shadow that haunts her every step to try and pull her from her human needs. It is this vulnerability that she hides from the world, even as it quietly shapes her every interaction.
  
  Despite her hardened exterior, there are moments when Cordelia finds solace in the simplest of things—like the sound of a sea shanty drifting across the deck. She would never admit it aloud, of course, but the melodies speak to something deep inside her: the camaraderie, the unity that comes from a shared song, a moment of collective joy amidst the chaos of the world. It is in these moments of connection that Cordelia feels the reminder of her humanity, a small but crucial tether to the world she sometimes feels so detached from.
  
  A woman of contrasts: fierce yet vulnerable, distant yet capable of warmth, strong yet deeply scarred. She wears her armor not only to protect herself but to guard against the pain of ever having to lose again. And yet, despite her fears, despite reservations, there is a part of her that is still human in its hopes—hopes for loyalty, for love, and for family.
  
• Free from the Chains

  
  Cordelia Barrington was born in 1508, in the bustling port city of Bristol, England. She was the only child of Edmund Barrington, a successful merchant, and his wife, Charlotte. Edmund’s business was rooted in the import and export of fine silks, spices, and rare treasures from distant lands, while Charlotte focused on the finer things in life: social gatherings, proper etiquette, and the delicate art of managing their expansive estate while Edmund was away. To the outside world, the Barringtons seemed like any other wealthy family, but beneath the polished veneer of their life, there was always a sense of something restless in their precious daughter.
  
  From a very young age, Cordelia’s world was one of predetermined fates. Her mother encouraged her to learn music, poetry, and the intricacies of high society, but Cordelia had little patience for the refined hobbies of the privileged elite. Instead, her heart was drawn to the stories of distant lands and grand adventures that her father would recount when he returned from his travels. She was particularly fascinated by the sailors and soldiers who would visit their home, sharing tales of the dangerous seas and the art of combat as well as the strange and terrifying creatures that lurked in the waters.
  
  It was through these men that Cordelia first became aware of her natural affinity for weapons and combat. She would watch, wide-eyed, as they practiced their swordplay or demonstrated the workings of a musket with her mind soaking in all she saw there. At the age of ten, Cordelia convinced her father to hire a local fencing master to teach her the ways of the blade. Though her mother initially objected, fearing that a young lady should not spend her time with such "ungentlemanly" pursuits, her father saw Cordelia’s resolve and allowed it. By the time she was twelve, she was already a skilled fencer, capable of besting several of the young men in her father’s circle.
  
  As she grew older, Cordelia's talent for fighting and weaponry blossomed further. Her proficiency with both sword and musket made her a respected figure among the men who surrounded her. In an era where women were expected to remain passive and tend to the home, her fierce determination and sharp mind often led her to be underestimated—an oversight that worked to her advantage. She quickly learned the art of reading people, studying their movements, and discerning their intentions before they even spoke. This was a skill that would serve her well later in life.
  
  Despite her natural inclination towards combat and things unladylike, Cordelia’s life was not entirely defined by her sword or her curiosity for the world beyond. She was raised in the comforts of privilege, educated in the classics, and trained in the intricacies of etiquette. Yet, there was always a yearning in her heart, a longing to experience something more than the sheltered existence her parents envisioned for her or the stories of adventure told by another. By the time she turned sixteen, Cordelia began to feel the weight of the expectations placed upon her. Her mother spoke often of suitors, and her father pushed her to marry into a powerful family to strengthen their position. But Cordelia’s desire for freedom—freedom to explore the world, to make her own choices—clashed with the constraints of noble life. Despite wanting to do well by her parents who loved their only child with every fiber of their being, the girl could hardly deny her heart.
  
  At the age of eighteen, Cordelia found herself at a pivotal crossroads. The prospect of an arranged marriage and a life confined to the gilded cage of her family’s estate felt suffocating and yet the noose was slowly tightening. Her father, though loving, was pragmatic, and he had no patience for his daughter’s ambitions beyond what he deemed proper for a woman of her status– but Cordelia was no ordinary lady. She began to quietly resist her family’s plans for her, seeking out more dangerous and exhilarating pursuits, though always in secret.
  
  One of those pursuits was her growing interest in the art of gunnery and warfare. The idea of controlling the powerful cannons aboard a ship, of wielding the enormous weaponry that could change the course of battle, intrigued her far more than any needlework or ballroom dance. Cordelia’s natural aptitude for understanding complex mechanisms and her tactical mind soon led her to become a student of firearms and artillery. She devoured every book and manual she could find on the subject, and, when the opportunity arose, she sought out mentors among the veterans of England’s military campaigns and even supposed pirates. By her early twenties, Cordelia had become a highly skilled marksman and gunner, her reputation growing among those who valued her abilities rather than her status as a young woman.
  
  But fate, as it often does, intervened in a way she could never have anticipated. In the fall of 1534, when Cordelia was just twenty-six, a mysterious visitor arrived at the Barrington estate—a figure whose presence both intrigued and unsettled her. He was a man of strikingly handsome features, pale as moonlight, with a coldness to his demeanor that made her uneasy. His name was Victor, and he claimed to be an old acquaintance of her father…though Cordelia had never heard of him in Edmund’s stories. He arrived under the guise of business, seeking her father’s assistance with a matter of trade, but there was something about him that put Cordelia on edge.
  
  Over the next few days, Victor lingered in their home, always polite, always charming, but with a strange, predatory glint in his eyes. Cordelia, despite her growing suspicion, found herself drawn to him in a way she couldn’t quite explain-– in a way no suitor could ever manage themselves. She told him things she had never told anyone before. Victor made her feel safe…feel comfortable and she trusted him with matters kept close to her heart. Her father, a man of great caution, seemed to trust him as well and her mother appeared utterly enchanted by his dark charisma and appeal. But as time passed, Cordelia began to notice oddities—her parents seemed unnaturally pale, their movements sluggish, their spirits…drained.
  
  Something was terribly wrong.
  
  One night when Cordelia was alone in her chambers, she heard the distant sound of her mother’s scream. Rushing to her parents' suite, she burst through the door to find her father lying lifeless on the floor, his throat torn open and blood staining the bedsheets. Charlotte, too, was on the brink of death, pale and gasping for breath, her body drained of life and eyes quickly losing their light.
  
  Before she could react, the looming figure of Victor appeared in the doorway. With a cruel, almost indifferent smile, he stepped forward, revealing the terrible truth in his shockingly red eyes: he had not come for business, but for blood. He had come for them all. At that moment, Cordelia understood— Victor was not merely a man. He was a predator, a creature of the night.
  
  In the final moments of her parents’ lives, Cordelia tried to fight him off with every ounce of pain and grief behind her blows, but she was no match for Victor’s strength. Her mother and father perished in that room, victims of Victor’s greedy, insatiable hunger. Cordelia, her mind shattered by the loss, could do nothing as Victor turned to her, his gaze heavy with both pity and disdain.
  
  “I’ve seen the look in your eyes, Cordelia. That hunger for something more…for something that will make all of this life seem small by comparison. You desire a life free of the chains society binds you with…free from the shackles of your family’s expectations. I’m giving it to you. I have GIVEN it to you, darling. From now on, you will have eternity to do with as you please. But remember, nothing is ever truly free. You’ll owe me your loyalty. And if you ever forget that… well, I’ll remind you,” he whispered, before sinking his fangs into her neck.
  
  “In time, you’ll forget their faces. You’ll forget your name. All that will remain is the hunger. The thirst– this is the only way you can truly be free. Welcome to eternity, my dear.”
  
  What happened next was a blur—a burning sensation, an endless cold, and a deep, suffocating darkness. When Cordelia awoke, the world had shifted, and the very nature of her existence had been irrevocably changed.
  

  No Less Human

  
  When Cordelia first woke in the dark, the world felt different– it WAS different. The air was sharper, the sounds all around more vivid, the silence…oppressive. She had been given a gift—but a gift that felt more like a curse. Victor’s fangs, the ones that had drained her of life and replaced it with eternal hunger, still haunted her thoughts but what haunted her more was the absence of warmth. She was cold, empty, and she could feel the humanity slipping away from her like sand through her fingers.
  
  The first few nights after her transformation were a blur of disorientation. Cordelia was aware of her every sense, every instinct. She could hear every person’s heartbeat—slow, heavy, fast…all foreign and overwhelming. The hunger gnawed at her, a constant companion she could neither ignore nor fully satiate. At first, she had no control. She hunted in desperation and lashed out at whatever or whoever was nearby, unable to distinguish between predator and prey.
  
  Victor did nothing to guide her through these early days. He didn’t care to. He’d already won. Her blood was his, her soul bound to his will, and cruelly he left her to figure it out on her own. But she refused to surrender for it was the one thing she had left: her will to fight.
  
  Cordelia’s first real test of her humanity came within weeks of her transformation. She found herself in a small, isolated village on the outskirts of the Germanic forest. Her vampire instincts told her to drain the villagers dry, to feast on the blood of innocents without thought or mercy and bathe in their lost vitality. But something inside her rebuked the thought. She couldn’t bring herself to do it. The faces of her parents came to her—her mother’s laughter, her father’s warm smile. They had never been cruel or selfish, and Cordelia felt their judgment hanging over her as if they were watching, waiting for her to prove she wasn’t lost forever.
  
  One night, unable to quell the hunger any longer, she chose a different path after much deliberation. She would drink from a lone hunter, someone who lived on the fringes of society, someone who might not be missed. She felt the blood rush into her mouth, but she stopped herself, pulling away just as the man fell unconscious, leaving him alive and far from the brink of death. She didn’t kill him—didn’t let the beast inside her fully take over. Cordelia held on to her humanity, even if it meant enduring the searing agony of the hunger and the white hot burning in her throat that threatened to consume her.
  
  When Victor found out, he was furious.
  
  “You waste your strength, Cordelia– the strength that I GAVE you. You could have fed and gained power, but instead, you let that pitiful creature live. You dare make a mockery of my gift?”
  
  But her answer was simple, almost defiant: “I won’t become what you want me to be.”
  
  Victor’s cold laugh rang in her ears. “You think you can outrun what you are? There is no escape. You will learn, in time. You’ll see that mercy has no place in this world or you will break. I eagerly await, darling.”
  
  In the years following her transformation, Cordelia spent more and more time in isolation. The hunger was a constant battle, and there were days when she feared it would consume her completely. But she refused to become a mindless killer, and she began to develop methods to control her cravings. She practiced restraint; she learned to only feed when absolutely necessary, never letting herself succumb to the temptation of slaughter. She found that by focusing her energy on something else—training, combat, sharpening her mind—she could stave off the hunger, if only for a time.
  
  As the decades passed, Cordelia became an expert with a sword and a pistol, and though she was skilled in combat before, her vampiric nature gave her enhanced strength, speed, and resilience– she was a force to be reckoned with like a powerful hurricane. But no amount of training, of distraction, could silence the voice inside her.
  
  The one that reminded her she was no longer truly human.
  
  During a particularly dark period, Cordelia found herself in a nobleman’s court in France. The nobles were decadent, self-absorbed, and indulgent in their excesses but overall harmless. One night, she sat alone in the gardens, watching idly as a young woman and her lover shared a quiet, intimate moment under the moon and stars. The sight brought an unexpected pang to her chest, a sharp reminder of the life she had lost, and the life she could never have again. Was it worth it? she wondered.
  
  Was it worth living forever, if she could never truly live?
  
  For every step forward, Cordelia felt herself slip two steps back. The more time passed, the more distant she became from her humanity. The longer she lived, the more her old self—her compassion, her kindness—began to feel like a distant memory. It was as though her soul had been chipped away piece by piece left only with emptiness and the cold cackle of Victor’s laughter echoing in her mind. And yet still, there were moments of clarity, moments where she caught glimpses of the woman she used to be.
  
  When a small village in Italy was attacked by rogue vampires, Cordelia was caught in the middle of it after being stuck in a bloodless stupor. The rogues slaughtered the innocent, leaving nothing but ruin in their wake and destruction as their legacy. In the bleak chaos, Cordelia saw a child, no more than five or six, trying to run from the violence after witnessing their parents suffer at the hands, and fangs, of the vampires. Her eyes locked with the child’s, and something in Cordelia snaped. Without thinking, she rushed forward and protected the child from the rogues that attempted to snatch the youngling. Blows exchanged, blades sang through the air and blood was shed as she fought her way through the mindless thralls.
  
  When the battle was over and the child was officially safe, Cordelia had to walk away. She couldn’t stay in one place, couldn’t form attachments and so she left the child at a church. In that moment, she remembered what it meant to protect, to care. She wasn’t just a creature of the night or some mindless killer that selfishly indulged in the blood of mortals. She was Cordelia, daughter of Edmund and Charlotte Barrington, and she could still choose to fight for something better.
  
  Despite her inner strength and determination to hold on to the parts of her that were still human, Victor’s influence was never far. His words were poison, his gaze a constant reminder of what she had become. Even as she fought for autonomy, he constantly sought to remind her that she was his, and that she would never escape his pull.
  
  “You will never be free of me, Cordelia,” he said, the last time they spoke directly to each other. “I made you. I gave you this life. You’ll learn, in time, that no matter how far you run, no matter how hard you fight, you’ll always return to me. You’re mine, now and forever, darling.”
  
  It was a warning, but also a challenge—a reminder that the darkness within her was as much a part of her as the light she clung to. But Cordelia had learned one thing over the years: she was no one’s puppet.
  
  Despite the years of struggle, Cordelia never fully lost her humanity. It remained buried beneath layers of cynicism, scars, isolation, and the bloodlust that came with being a vampire, but it was still there. It was in her choices—the small, daily choices to resist her nature and fight for what was right, even when the odds were against her. It was in the way she still held onto the memory of her parents, and in the small acts of kindness she would show the rare person she felt safe enough to interact with.
  

  The Night Jewel

  
  By 1658, Cordelia had long since severed ties with Victor. The centuries had dulled the sharpness of his influence on her, and though she knew he would always be a shadow on the edge of her existence, she had managed to carve out a life far removed from him. She had seen enough of his manipulations, his power plays, and the endless circles of vampire politics to know that she would never allow herself to become the thing he wanted most: a thrall. She was no longer the naïve young woman who had been turned against her will. She was older, sharper, and wiser—and her freedom was something she would fight for until the end.
  
  After wandering Europe and the Americas for years, seeking purpose and escape from the dark weight of immortality, Cordelia found herself on the fringes of the Caribbean in the early 1650s. The allure of the sea had always called to her, and in the tangled world of pirates and privateers, she saw a new horizon—one where she could fight for her own cause, far away from the shadow of vampires, Victor’s loyalists, and crowded towns.
  
  Her reputation as a weapons expert and master gunner had spread quickly among the various factions of the high seas, but she wasn’t interested in joining just any crew; she had no taste for petty squabbles or backstabbing captains. She needed to find something different, something that would allow her to still wield the power she had grown accustomed to while keeping her soul intact for many desired power at the cost of everything and everyone around them. No, Cordelia was much more discerning than that.
  
  Then she heard whispers of The Night Jewel.
  A ship with a female captain at the helm.
  
  For Cordelia, this was intriguing in itself. Female captains were as rare as they were dangerous in the world of piracy, and something about the idea called to her. The strings of Fate were being tugged and pulled once more.
  
  It didn’t take long for Cordelia to prove her worth to the captain and crew. A few skirmishes, a couple of well-placed shots that felt more like precognition than anything else, and an undeniable mastery of the ship’s cannons sealed her place aboard the ship. She was efficient, pragmatic, and relentless in battle. But what really earned her respect was her quiet loyalty. She was no longer the woman who sought to prove herself, no longer fighting to escape the weight of her past. She fought now because she had a purpose again.
  
  Amidst the rough-and-tumble world of piracy, Cordelia found a strange sense of camaraderie aboard The Night Jewel. She had long since abandoned the hope of finding true connection in this dark, eternal life, but she found something she hadn’t expected: a family, even if that family was forged from blood and saltwater.
  
  For the first time in years, she allowed herself to care, if only a little.
  
  Her past would never truly be behind her, and the shadows of Victor’s influence still lingered in the darkest corners of her soul. But aboard The Night Jewel, Cordelia Barrington found something resembling peace…however fleeting.

ARAMIS LORCANO

#SURGEON

#Michiel Huisman

♡coded by uxie♡

Nicknames: Ari, Ramsey,

Age: 30

Gender: male

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: bisexual, biromantic

Species: human



Human Form Description:
Aramis is a pretty tall, buff guy. He’s about six foot tall with strong arms that can handle a lot of enemies. His dark wavy hair is mostly pushed back, especially since he let it grow out a bit after leaving the kingdom. Though when the sun shines on the dark brown strands, there are sometimes some lighter strands shining through. Despite fighting a lot in his past, Aramis has soft gentle hands that treat every injury very carefully. His brown eyes are almost as dark as coffee.

Birthday:
13th january 1628, middle of the kingdom of France

Body Modifications / Scars:
Aramis has a lot of smaller scars from fighting on his arms. But there are also two main big ones, one across his leg and the other across his ribcage. Both from the same battle. Aramis also has a little tattoo on his collarbone with the royal emblem but of course now he tries to hide it as much as he can.

Personality:
Even though Aramis looks pretty serious and grumpy, he is actually fun to be around if you get to know him more. To his crew, he is a very kind-hearted guy, that likes to help and would always be loyal to them. Aramis is always up for a good joke, he always has that kind of humor around him. But he also can be pretty sassy and sarcastic, especially with enemies or people, who don’t take him seriously.



Role Amongst The Crew:
The surgeon

Strengths:
~close combat
~great knowledge of different herbs and plants
~fantastic surgical skills
~braiding hair

Weaknesses:
~reading maps
~cooking
~very bad sense of direction
~singing

How Long Have They Been With The Crew?
3 and a half years

History / Backstory:
For his whole life Aramis had been a part of the royal guard, fighting for the king and taking missions from him. His last mission took him and his best friends out to another kingdom, where they had to fight to get the jewelry from the queen back. Eventually they won, but Aramis got hurt severely. He almost didn’t make it back on his horse.
After his recovery, he was left with permanent damage on his leg, not so bad that he can’t walk anymore but he would need a little time to get as fast as before in fighting.
For the king that was ‘a shame’ — like he said — and he kicked him not only out of the royal guard but also forced him out of the kingdom. He had to flee.
To plan his next steps, Aramis went into a tavern and that’s where he met the crew — Dorienne injured. As Aramis was always the one to treat all the wounds, however bad they were, he wanted to help. With as little things as they had in the tavern, he succeeded in treating the wound properly.
With that fate planned his future, he got invited to join the crew, they needed someone who knew their craft and to make work with as little as possible.

Weaponry:
his royal sword, he stole from them, when he had to go, though you can’t really see the royal emblem anymore because it’s worn off from fighting, the only things that make it interesting and perhaps suspicious are the hilt covered in little red and blue gemstones and the blade being silver with a golden stripe in the middle on both sides
beside that on occasion a small dagger or two



Likes:
well seasoned food, sunsets, quiet nights

Dislikes:
forests, cold weather, sand,

Habits:
tapping his fingers when nervous, raising his eyebrow or tilts his head when he doesn’t understand something

Fears:
heights, his old life catching up to him



Aroma:
citrus with a faint tint of the last herbs he used

Faceclaim/Voiceclaim:
Michiel Huisman

Headcanons:
~when tired or still sleepy he has a pretty strong french accent, barely understandable for someone that doesn’t know him for too long
~gets affected by the weather (when weather changes, his leg injury still hurts a bit)
~can be a little moody if he had a bad night
~he is quite a flirty guy and can mostly get things he want with his charme
~still has nightmares from his old life
~only turning around once, he wouldn’t know where he came from and where he has to go anymore
~definitely not a morning person
~lightweight in terms of alcohol​

Gregory took the name Bisney, as the captain raised him as his own. He frequented the ports of India and Africa besides him . He even travelled to the mainland. On their last trip together, Captain Bisney offered him a place by his side. The lad accepted the position with glee. But those where the days of summer. On their following voyage the ship creaked one night. As Gregory rose up he spoted the intruders, swords at hand taking out the lonely guard. They were off Mauritius, on their way to the Indies once more. That was the last time he show his captain. Their ship was lost to pirates and him and his mates were left to drift on a single boat in the open seas. A week later, and with his brave attempts to prepare any mean with just pieces of glass for cooking and seaweed to munch, the crew was rescued by a passing Dutch vessel.

  True Form ~ 5'5" in length
  

  * weight

  Human ~ 100 lbs | 45 kg
  True Form ~ 115 lbs
  

  * hair

  Long curls that tumble towards her waist, ash blonde in color though in certain lighting it will take on a pale golden hue. Most days Sereia will wear her hair loose with small braided sections on either side of her temples that is secured at the back of her head or she will braid it to the side with some loose pieces framing her heart-shaped face.
  

  * eyes

  Forest Green
  

  * true form

  The pupils of her green eyes turn slitted and her teeth sharpen into serrated points. Her nails grow into sharp claws and her legs merge into a glowing tail {pictured to the left}. The glowing marks on her tail aid her in the deep, allowing her to lure fish close enough to snatch up. She has also used her glowing colors to warn sailors away from areas where sirens lurked, the bright red cutting through the dark waters enough to be seen and the warning heeded.
  

  * powers / abilities

  She is able to change the color that is displayed along her tail and fins. She can shift between her human form and siren form at will. Though she doesn't use it often, she has the same siren song that captivates all those who hear it. She is also resilient to the cold, having grown up in the depths of the ocean where sunlight was scarce. Due to the weak light source down there, Sereia is able to see in the dark or low lighting.
  

  * aroma

  Coconut and Sea Salt
  

  * build

  Slender and lithe, Sereia has delicate curves and a slightly toned frame from her years of living in the ocean.
  

  * scars

  She has nicks in her fins from surviving on her own in the ocean. A deep scar runs down the left side of her tail from a fight with another siren; in her human form the scar runs from her knee to her ankle.
  

  * body mods

  None but she wants a tattoo like she has seen on humans

  * personality

  Sereia has an adventurous spirit, following her curiosity wherever it leads her. She often spent her time exploring ship wrecks to see what shiny treasures she could find or spying on humans aboard their ships.
  
  Her friends are the most important people in her life and she would do anything to protect them. Sereia is very protective towards her those she cares for, but because of this, she can be a bit reckless at times in her desire to keep her loved ones safe.
  
  Spying on the humans has taught her how to observe her surroundings but most importantly, how to be patient. Sometimes she would spend hours observing a ship, being careful not to be seen.
  
  Sereia can be rather stubborn if the mood strikes her and she does not appreciate others trying to dictate what she can and can not do with her life.

  ❞

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  

  * history

  From the moment she had been born, Sereia's entire existence had always been a fight for survival. Born the weakest amongst her siblings, it was always a fight for food or space. Until one day her mother took her out far from the cave they called home and left her on a bed of seaweed. Whether she survived or was eaten by another predator, she was no longer welcome back to the cave. Luckily a coral reef was nearby and Sereia survived off of the slower moving fish that lived there.
  
  With no one to teach her how to survive, Sereia had to figure it all out on her own. She never craved the flesh of humans like some of her kind did, in fact her first run-in with humans left her terrified. She had been hunting for clams when a large shadow covered the sandy floor, blocking out the light from above. She hid in the cave she had claimed until she was certain it wasn't a huge beast coming to eat her.
  
  She viewed their ships from a distance, at first, but the music that carried over the waves eventually drew her closer. She just couldn't understand why the other sirens chose to eat these beings when keeping them alive was far more interesting. From then on she decided she would help these humans whenever she could, a decision that only turned the other sirens in the area on her.
  
  Often times she would use the colors on her tail to warn humans away from areas populated with sirens waiting for a meal, other times she would swim humans affected by the songs back to their ships and if a necklace or shiny piece of jewellery went missing from their person, well, she considered it payment for saving their life.
  
  The humans, dazed by the song, never remembered her clearly and she never stuck around long enough to leave an impression. Until one day a rescue mission went belly up. In her endeavor to steer a ship away from siren infested waters, she had gotten too close and had gotten tangled in a net. The poor sailor (possibly someone's character if any are interested) sent to untangle the mess was given a fright as they caught sight of shining green eyes staring back at them. Scared but determined to save them from a gruesome fate, Sereia used the language she had picked up from spending so much time near ships to whisper a warning about the danger that laid ahead.
  
  She had slipped free of the net and was splashing back into the water before she could hear the humans reply. After that came a nasty fight with a siren that had Sereia fleeing to land. If she couldn't keep the humans safe from the water, then maybe she could do it on land.
  
  Joining the crew of The Night Jewel was an unexpected but welcome surprise and she has been with the crew for a couple of weeks now.

  ➳ Hide your shiny things, otherwise they may end up in her pocket
  ➳ Love language is physical touch, most definitely touch-starved

  Black, with hints of the darkest blue in direct sunlight.
  

  * eye colour

  Silvery blue, like the moon reflected off of calm waters.
  

  * true form

  As a selkie, Suevyn’s “true form” is her seal skin, which that of a harp seal. It is a stony; silver-ish gray, blotted with dark gray spots. The largest one covers the nose, going down to the stomach before trailing off. As well, its eyebrows and eyes are shadowed in the same shade of dark gray.
  

  * human form

  In human form, Suevyn is a pale woman with dark, wavy hair. Her hair is very soft, reaching just past her shoulders with bangs that barely touch her eyebrows, which curtain off into the rest of her hair. Her eyes are shiny and silvery blue, like the moon on clear water. She has a triangle body shape, with the slightest trace of muscle on her arms and legs—the kind that comes with being an avid swimmer and dancer. On her right shoulder is a small scar, one she’s had since she was a child.
  

  * abilities

  When in seal form, Suevyn is essentially a seal with human thoughts. As a human, she can eat raw fish caught immediately from the ocean without getting sick, and as a selkie, was gifted beauty she displays even after waking up from a slumber.
  

  * weapon

  Her weapon of choice is a cutlass—easy to fight at a distance, and the ones that she uses are rather light.

  * history

  Suevyn and her parents fled Ireland in 1643, in order to escape the carnage of civil war. They survived as traveling merchants, who mostly got around by boat. At 16, Suevyn left, and subsequently lived as a musician for the next three years. At nineteen, she was married to a man she had barely met, one who she liked yet only realized months later that she did not love. Not feeling emotionally attached, Suevyn began to drift from him. He had never wronged her, though he ignored her wants, and the two argued daily. At twenty two, she left with her seal suit and a bag of clothing, her violin, and five pieces of sheet music. She took a job at a bar in the same county, one her ex husband often tried to visit her at. Despite her abrupt leave, he harbored no ill will, though he never truly forgave her. She was happy, working at the bar- though meeting the crew there made her realize just how unhappy she truly was by settling for a life of simplicity. With few connections and even fewer responsibilities to sever, she joined the Night Jewel within a week. As of two weeks ago, she has been with the crew for exactly a year and a half.

  * height

  160 cm / 5'2"
  

  * weight

  50kg / 110 lbs
  

  * build

  As the offspring of a merchant in Seville, Rita was expected to fit in with the higher society around her. A thin, long frame was desired, as well as the smallest waist possible to fit inside of an impossibly small corset. Of course, after a few years out on the sea, Rita's waist is not longer as slim as it once was, but her petite stature immitating that of more powerful noblewomen still stays.
  

  * body modifications

  Following latest aristocratic trends, Rita has both of her earlobes fashionably pierced and bedazzled with earrings. However, she found the pain so unbearable that she refuses to get pierced another time.
  

  * hair colour

  Rita's hair is a warm-toned brown which, when hit by the sun, reflects a golden hue. It is often styled in looser curls or up, but never straight.
  

  * eye colour

  Her eyes are as unimpressive as her hair, as her father would have said. While her eyes are also a warm-toned brown, they reflect closer to a honey-like colour when the sun shines on her face just right.

  * personality

  Four years ago, Rita would have been the complete opposite of who she was today. Once shy, demure and conscious of her actions reflecting a 'bigger entity,' she is today a warm, friendly and opening presence on the ship. Always jovial and ready to drink with her crewmates, Rita has found herself much more at ease on the welcoming atmosphere of The Night Jewel, and has let go of the archaic ways she used to hold as a merchant's daughter. If offered a drink, she will not refuse, and while she may have a hard time dealing with the hangover the morning after, she is not afraid to enjoy the conviviality with her peers. She might get more honest and upfront once under the influence however, and might come to regret her forwardness the morning after. Some things don't change, after all, and going from a total prude and ignorant lamb to an adventurer takes times.
  
  No person would be complete without flaws however, and Rita has many. For as warm as she is with others, she is very harsh on herself, and often times gets into foul moods before locking herself away in a room to have a meltdown. Sometimes, it's existential dread; other times, it's waves of extreme melancholy over having lost everybody in her last life and coming on the ship. She never regrets coming, of course, since the freedom she experiences is liberating and welcoming, but it gets overbearing sometimes, and Rita prefers to go through it alone. After all, she only introduced herself as 'Rita' to the crew, and not 'Margarita, the daughter of a wealthy merchant with many expectations'. She felt fundamentally different from them, and sometimes felt isolated by this divide.
  
  On those nights where her melancholy overtakes her rationality, Rita is afraid. She is afraid of going out, facing the world and deciding nothing is worth it anymore, before jumping out of the ship and putting an end to this. To counter these horrific thoughts, she locks herself in her room and drinks until dawn: for the nerves and for the chance to calm down before the crew starts their day. It might be the only repose she gets when she begins to get overwhelmed.

  * history

  Born in Seville in 1630 to a merchant family, Rita has been expected, all of her life, to lead the pious yet ambitious life of a woman trying to climb social order. Being part of the lower nobility, and even then barely, she underwent harsh treatment and behaviour by her tutors, her servants and even her family. She does remember that, at one point, she was happy--but she would be unable to tell you when and where this specific point in time was. From the moment she bled to the moment she grew, she was stuffed into tight corsets, restrictive diets and a pile of knowledge fit for a lady of the household. It didn't help that her brothers, while not actively tormenting her themselves, were living an easier and freer life which only made her jealous.
  
  Her only respite was that she hadn't been forced to marry. Usually, it wouldn't be too long before a woman debuted and was swept off of the market, but Rita had gotten extremely lucky to avoid the fate of a married woman. She lived with her parents in her family home until the age of 24, where it seemed they had gotten enough of her and sold her off to the highest bidder. Being considered an older bachelorette, but still rich, whatever romantic prospects offered themselves to her were absolutely horrifying, and Rita fought against being pulled out of her home and into the arms of a new 'husband' very hard. Mere moments after seeing the man she would be spending the rest of her life with face to face, she decided life would not be worth living if she was stuck as an unhappy woman, and seized the opportunity to run away.
  
  A young woman in a big dress running across a city would always be cause for concern, and many passerby attempted to stop her or restrain her, but her will to live was stronger. Life on land had disappointed her, and so, she ran as far away from the land as she could--the docks being the last place she could go. Feeling the pressure of people running after her, Rita took a quick glance at the ships docked and, deciding one with a female-presenting person was where she ought to be, quickly climbed into The Night Jewel, hoisting her dress up with her hands, before hiding in the underside of the boat.
  
  She stayed glued in fear with the rest of the crates for a week. Rita didn't come out, didn't eat, and didn't drink. The moment the ship had left the docks, she was absolutely terrified of what she had done--but she had no plans of going back. Perhaps she should have just asked the captain to board, but she had no money to her name and no skills she could use. She just had to stay calm and quiet, and come off at the next stop. But then what would she do? Would she just sell herself to another prospective husband in a foreign city? The thought was even more tantalizing. Having been at the bottom of the ship, Rita had found things to pass the time, and had fashioned functional rags out of rough cloth and scraps which would be thrown out to wash herself.
  
  She had to look presentable to the captain, after all, and an unwashed, unkempt woman at the bottom of the ship was already not a good look. Unfortunately, it seems her scurrying about and picking at items to make herself new things had caught the attention of those running the cellar--who had told the captain--and Rita was caught mid-sewing a new garment by the woman she knows today as her saviour, 'Dori.' Instead of throwing her overboard, the captain found a new use for the stowaway which had run away from her life, and while Rita had once been uncertain about it (and even frightened), she quickly got used to the pirate life as the tailor and mender of sails.
  
  She never got over the seasickness though.

If it smells like a warm treat ready to eat, it was probably just Rita passing by.

  * headcanons

  
  
  Rita's first projects when coming on the ship consisted of repurposing bags of potatoes, flour and other raw material to fashion sails and other useful items the crew was missing.
  
  She is a tad dependent on alcohol depending on the evening which is why she is so eager to revell in parties and entertainment at night. If she's chosen to sleep instead, there's a 50/50 percent chance that she will wake up because of a nightmare, and simply not sleep until the sun rises.
  
  Rita jokes about coming onto the ship after having seen Bastien and his wonderful sense of style.
  
  Is desperate to create a bright, fashionably-inclined outfit which is mobile and sea-worthy, yet lacks the inspiration to do so.
  
  Due to her proficiency with a needle and her steady hands, Rita often helps the surgeons of the ships in emergencies and crises as a nurse, and will spend more time with them during regular hours due to her sharing a bit of the workload. She also makes sure they are provided with enough cloth for bandaging and higher quality protective garb to protect their regular clothes.

[ocie]

Full Name:
Sascha

Nicknames:
TBA

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Pronouns:
He/him

Sexuality:
Pansexual, panromantic

-------------------------------------
Species:
Eel Merman

True Form Description:
In his true form, Sascha has the torso of a human and the bottom half a fish tail with the calico black and army green patterning of an eel. He has fins along his forearms and his ears are fins as well. There are patches of scales across his torso, arms, and face. His hair is the same as his human form—black, medium length and curly. His eyes are the same too, a deep brown.

Powers And Abilities:
- Electrokinesis; can physically generate small bursts of electricity as well as physically stabilize, redirect or amplify electrical currents
- Singing; he doesn't have siren's voice or anything but it is beautiful with an otherworldly tone
- Ability to hold his breath for long periods of time in his human form
- Heightened sense of smell

Human Form Description:
Sascha stands at 5’11” and has a lean build. His black hair is curly and falls just past his ears, and his eyes are a dark brown. He still has patches of dark green scales on the side of his face and across his body as well as sharper tipped ears that bear the same scales. His attire is that of a normal pirate, complete with loose white shirts, boots, bandanas, earrings, etc. He has golden bands around his forearms and a necklace with an obsidian pendant around his neck at all times.

Birthday -
September 18, 1633, the Mediterranean sea

Body Modifications / Scars:
- Various nicks and small scars over his body from his time as a pirate and just from hard living
- A noticeable burn scar on his left shoulder, reaching his upper arm and back. It’s visible poking out from the collar of most of his shirts too
- Gold hoop earrings in both ears

Personality:

There's something about Sascha that makes people feel at ease around him. His carefree attitude is magnetic and he's always quick with a joke or simple comment that can lighten even the tensest situations. He has a distinctly unthreatening air about him that makes him rather likeable and easy to get along with, but he can turn cold and protective with a snap of the fingers if he needs to.

Despite his apparent openness, at heart, Sascha is highly guarded and slow to trust others. He doesn’t talk about certain parts of himself or his past and will smoothly redirect the conversation if asked about it—subtly enough that most people don’t notice. Sascha is quick to smile and seems careless, but he is deceptively sharp-witted and more than willing to lie and cheat to get what he wants. He knows that the key to being smart is knowing when to play dumb. He has partaken in his fair share of petty theft and his moral compass leaves something to be desired. He's been compared to an eel, much to his irritation (I'm not like an eel, I am one, fucker).

At one time, Sascha was curious about the surface; naive and adventurous. He isn’t anymore, to say the least. Jaded and mistreated, finding ways to to scrape by and survive on land has changed him, for better or for worse. He’s always been deeply unhappy in his human form, but he’s making the best of it and does a decent job of pretending it doesn't bother him. There's a bit of a cynical edge to him that can feel jarring given how carefree he seems, like a crack appearing in a mask.

Role Amongst The Crew:
Musician/Lookout

Strengths:
- Smooth talk; he’s skilled at bluffing his way out of situations. People generally tend to trust him and he takes full advantage of it.
- Marksmanship: Sascha is an incredibly good shot
- Navigation: Sascha always knows where he is at sea. He can read stars and currents intuitively and he rarely loses his bearings

Weaknesses:
- He can fight. A little. Not well. He prefers to slip away unnoticed or perform ranged attacks. He's a lover not a fighter.
- Can't navigate on land or read a map to save his life, or read human languages in general

How Long Have They Been With The Crew?
A few years.

History / Backstory:
Sascha doesn’t talk much about his past, but he has gold bands around his wrists that bind him in his human form against his will. He spent years searching for a way to break the spell before hitting rock bottom and begrudgingly accepting that he will be living on land indefinitely. He became a pirate to be closer to the sea. The life also suits him well.

Weaponry:
- Flintlock pistol
- Scimitar he stole
- Throwing knives

----------------------------------------

Likes:
The ocean, gambling, playing cards… cheating at cards… starry nights, fruits, cool looking rocks, playing music, listening to music, anything about it. Socks; he was always fascinated by the concept as a child and he still thinks they’re really neat little gloves for feet. Rain; it’s the closest he can comfortably get to being underwater.

Dislikes:
Cooked fish; it’s dry as fuck in his opinion and he’ll only eat seafood raw, bread in particular he hates, sunny days/sun burns, big human cities.

Habits:
- Hums to himself when he’s bored or focused on something
- Fidgets or plays with his necklace often, out of nervousness or just absently sometimes
- TBA

Fears:
- Swimming, oddly enough. Sascha never learnt how to swim in a human body and almost drowned the last time he tried to, not realizing he couldn’t breathe underwater anymore. He’s never felt that way before—air burning in his lungs, panic coursing through his veins. He’s just a little (lot) terrified of it.
- Humans; Sascha is still wary of all of them, never letting his guard down, even if he does an impressive job of appearing at ease. It takes time and a lot of proof for him to trust a human or consider them a close friend. He’s more comfortable around other merfolk or non-human creatures like himself.
- Fire; he never encountered it underwater, understandably, and was always afraid of it since coming on land. He’s had negative experiences as well. He can suck it up well enough on board with cannon fire and torches but he avoids it if possible.

Aroma:
Sea salt and sandelwood

Face & Voiceclaim:
Robert Sheehan​

 

[Axty]

Full Name: Archibald Aziz

Nicknames: Archie/Azi

Age - 22

Gender - Male

Pronouns - He/Him

Sexuality - Straight

-------------------------------

Species - Vampire

True Form Description - Archie transforms into a majestic eagle with sleek, jet-black feathers that gleam in the light. His eyes shift into a striking crimson red, radiating an intense, almost otherworldly gaze. The contrast of his dark plumage with the vivid red of his eyes creates a powerful and intimidating presence, embodying both elegance and ferocity.

Powers and Abilites - In this form, Archie gains the ability to soar through the skies with ease. His powerful wings grant him incredible endurance, allowing him to remain aloft for long periods. This makes him an exceptional scout, well-suited for his duties as a vigilant lookout, effortlessly patrolling vast areas from above while keeping a keen eye on his surroundings.

Human Form Description - Standing at a relatively tall 5'10", Archie has an athletic yet slightly lean build that highlights his agility. His physique is defined by a slim frame that accentuates his broader shoulders, giving him a balanced and strong appearance, blending speed with power.

Birthday - May 21st, 1636 (Born somewhere in the Middle East)

Body Modifications / Scars - Though he has some minor scars across his hands from training with a sword, the most notable marking he has is two slash marks in the shape of an X across his upper back

Personality -
Archie is often seen as an unserious, light-hearted presence among the crew. When reprimanded, he typically brushes off the criticism, either ignoring it altogether or responding with a casual remark. His mood varies day to day—some days he might be quiet and reserved, while on others, he's quick to add a witty quip or sarcastic comment to the conversation. However, when the situation turns dire and either he or his crewmates are in danger, his demeanor shifts entirely. In moments of crisis, Archie becomes intensely focused, taking things as seriously as anyone could. He quickly switches gears to strategize a way out of trouble, even if it means putting himself directly in harm’s way to ensure the safety of his crew.


-------------------------------

Role Amongst The Crew - Lookout

Strengths and Weaknesses - Archie excels in one-on-one combat, having honed his swordsmanship over many years of rigorous training. His natural instinct for sensing danger makes him a formidable opponent, often predicting the flow of battle with uncanny accuracy. When Archie declares that things will unfold a certain way, they almost always do, thanks to his quick thinking and sharp problem-solving skills in high-pressure situations. His keen eye for detail allows him to notice and remember subtle cues that others might overlook. However, Archie is not without his flaws. Emotionally drained and carrying the weight of a hidden past, he struggles to fully open up, even to those he trusts on the crew. This lingering burden often drives him to act impulsively, leaping into dangerous situations on his own instead of reporting back, which can inadvertently put his comrades at risk.


How Long Have They Been With The Crew? - 2 and a half years

History / Backstory - Archie has only let bits and pieces of his background out to the rest of the crew, however these alone paint the picture. At some point as a kid Archie recieved formal sword training, which is why he has his x scar. He also was sold into slavery, being sent all over the middle east to perform slave labor. Some event in his life also produced a discomfort for being unexpectedly touched. As for how he got on the crew, that was simple. He was running away from tax collectors and jumped on the boat right before it left dock, adopting himself into the crew.

Weaponry - A flintlock pistol, a Dao sword, and a dagger

-------------------------------

Likes - Being out on a peaceful sea, group dinners, the night sky and specifically stars, fiddling and spinning his dagger around, the morning sun, easy looting missions, a warm bath, the ocean breeze, seagulls blows, and any sort of animal, specifically birds.

Dislikes - Being touched unexpectedly, enclosed spaces, snakes, feeling alone, unexpected raids, unpleasant surprises

Habits - Wakes up early to practice sword skills, hands shake when he is uncomfortable even if his face and voice seem fine, stingy with his money and always haggling for a deal, dozing off in the day and staying up at night, zoning out of regular conversation when not directly addressed to.

Fears - Being alone, the pitch dark

-------------------------------

Aroma - Citrus and Peaches

History: Jessica was born a child prodigy in a small village near the border of France and Spain to a pair of Doctors who raised her to follow in their stead as a nurse. She quickly absorbed and comprehended what they taught her, allowing her to begin assisting in Healing at the age of 10. When she was 15, they perished in a plague outbreak and her Aunt in Spain took her in.

Her Aunt ran an Apothecary shop, teaching her how to mix medicines and poisons. When Jessica was 17, she found out her Aunt followed Witchcraft arts, especially in regards to how she performed Alchemy. Thus began in training in this area as well. She learned how to imbue certain ingredients with magic, perform small rituals but always to heal, never to curse.

When Jessica was 25, she and her aunt were dragged to a Witches' Pyre to burned for the crime of Witchcraft and Sorcery. Which of their friends or relatives has sold them out, she'd never know but she cursed them all the same. As the fire licked up the Pyre, beginning to burn them, her Aunt used a powerful spell to make a distraction for Jessica, allowing her to escape with her life. She would regret leaving her Aunt behind to die to this day.

The next 20 years were spent in near isolation as she honed her skills and craft. The lessons of her Family never faded from her, so despite the risk she still aided those who appeared at her doorstep, even occasionally venturing into the nearby village with free medicine for peasants who could not afford more expensive treatment.

Then almost 2 years ago, another witch hunt began. Jessica gathered what belongings she could carry and fled to the Ocean, her original intention to seek passage to a new continent, only to realize she would be chased for what she was wherever she she went. Taking a risk, she offered her services to Captain Dori and has found a family amongst the pirate crew, the likes of which she never thought she'd have again.

Jessie Mei Li

overview.

Kind, enigmatic, & just helps to sum up the woman she is. No matter what the cards have dealt for her or how often Raven has her hand bitten by the mouths she's fed, those same cold hands readily reach out to help those in need. Raven has attached herself to the solace of the small joys of others. Dwelling on the outside of the glass peering in. Those beautiful moments breathe life into her despite it equally taking a piece of her each time. Many of her years have been lived like this and slowly the heart has grown to crave a piece of that joy, a moment of her own that isn't tainted by blood and betrayal but the past has made her hesitant.

"I'm a perceptive person. I know what's good and I don't venture into what's not good."

style.

It's been a long time since the woman traded her gowns and dresses for trousers and lavish coats. Though her preference in style is considered rather boyish with simple cotton blouses & trousers, there is always a slight balance of femininity with her accessories or in it's colors. She prefers a piece of clothing above all: her maroon coat with gold buttons and intricate patterning on the inside of golds, reds, browns & black.

hobbies.

sewing, late night ventures, creating balms/homemade remedies, soap making, reading whatever she can get her hands on, enjoying the small things, star gazing, helping out, collecting gems, journaling her adventures, studying languages & cultures, fencing, swimming in the sea, people watching.

ambitions.

To help those she can, to experience life at its rawest, and to make at least one lasting connection.

fears.

Losing her kindness, having someone perish because of her and her actions, betrayal, large fires.

aversions.

Politics over humanity, Her feedings, Bringing up her past & her silent self-disdain.

ailments.

Axiety, panic attacks, and the loss of her pinkie before she was turned.

kind

"There is still good in this world and my heart will do what it wants to let others who need it know that. It is one of those things in you that you cannot deny."

determined

"When the mind is put to something and the heart agrees it's rather hard to let it go."

insightful

"a little observance and opening your heart to understanding can go a long way... or not. For me, I cannot help it. "

cultured

"My family had access to many things and in turn so did I. Though I spent much time in our libraries, hearing stories from others, and wandering around learning what I could was another venture. One my mother and father did not take to very well. . . but I could not stop what I adore."

true

"I had many versions of myself but one thing that stays true is the core. I do not need to lie unless it's necessary nor do I abandon those who I've earned trust with. The world is beautiful as it is corrupt but I will not shield someone from the truth, though I will be here to soothe if it's worth anything."

hesitant

"I do admit, it's maybe why I'm observant of others. Being burned in the past makes some things harder for me to get used to or open up about but give me time, I tend to come around. "

emotional

"Father always said being too emotional made one weak but I don't believe that. It may make me a little irrational, lead with my heart instead of my head at times but it's anything but weak. "

stubborn

"Being resistant to change in my life is a bit frightening to me because when you think you have it figured out, the floor is suddenly swept from beneath you and you begin to feel things you never have. I may frustrate others when it arises in me but in the moment I do believe I'm doing the right thing, and if it truly isn't as said before I tend to come around, just a little time is needed. "

anxious

"The guilt, wondering if those I care for will make it back in one piece, my next feeding... whether I will one day combust mysteriously beneath the sun's rays without so much as a farewell. It all gets too much in my head sometimes..."

naïve

"Blinded by determination and the need to help those who need it the most, to make things whole again it can blind you from the intentions of others. Many times I have fallen for it... and continue to."

"People come and go in your life. It is up to you choose how you want to associate with that person. It is up to you to learn and imbibe things from such a person."

history.

Raven does not like to particularly reminisce about her past or her family because it was a constant struggle between chasing her freedom, oppression, and her death. She was wedded and suffered greatly at a time but that's all come to an end. She traveled to many lands after her rebirth immersing herself in various cultures, texts, and people. Eventually, this led her to want to help people and so she began to dabble in healing, using different plants and various other items to help heal others. Her sewing skills and understanding of the human anatomy even helped in extreme situations. The fondest memory Raven carries is of when she ventured back to see her brothers or more like observe them from afar. Accidentally she interacted with her nephew who did not know who she was in the ports of their old town. The markets were teeming with liveliness, and colors all around as the festival was in full swing. He smiled apologetically at her, gifting her a red ribbon he had a bunch of in his hand. Lady Alexandra ruffled his hair and thanked him before the boy ran off once more. Despite using that ribbon till this day to tie up her hair or wear on her coat, the feelings are bittersweet every time it catches her eye.

aroma.

Raven has experimented with many perfume mixtures in the past as well as soaps creating the scent she wears now which is a mixture of orange blossoms, vetiver, lavender, and the parchment paper she buries her nose in constantly. Mixed with her sweat it enhances both the fresh and earthy-floral notes in it giving birth to something soft and wild.
