INFORMATION

Biography:

Carlos was born on a swelteringly hot day in the shabby and tattered bedroom that belonged to his mother, heat licked at Carlos' mothers sunburned face and coiled around her limbs like a great hot-blooded serpent, as she went into the pain-inducing labour. He grew up in a poor family on the outskirts of Barcelona, where money was slim and food was getting harder and harder to salvage food. Inside the cramped, run-down apartment lived Carlos, his hardcore, religious mother Sofia and his brother; Alejandro. His father worked away in the military, and to Carlos' recollection, had never met him - and his mother never spoke of him either dismissing any idea or concept of his father.

Carlos and Alejandro had a bit of an unsettling relationship, his brother was known as one of the most attractive men in Spain and the attention went to his head making him an egotistical, conceited douche. He took Carlos for granted and did unspeakable things to him without their mothers watching eye placed upon them, scarring Carlos and not being able to recover or ever look his brother in the eye ever again. Ever since he was banished from his home, he never spoke to his brother again - the images still burnt into his head.

Living in a very shifty neighbourhood, many opportunities and bad happenings occurred on a daily basis and it was inevitable that at some point Carlos would be involved in these incidents, luckily this incident he was fine with. After walking home from a tiresome day at school, his crush, hidden from his mother as anyone especially a boy would have him banished from his home, walked past. Carlos stared after him in lust and the boy turned around and smiled, he invited Carlos back to his and things went from there. Much to his misfortune, his mother was angrily looking for him, she was a bitter hag and when her son wasn't there in a click of her fingers she blew a fuse. Bellowing from the streets, the horrifying figure slammed open doors in search of her son. It still confused Carlos how she did such things while being such a firm believer in God.

After searching for so long, the miserable woman slammed open the Carlos' and his fellow occupants room, only to be discovered butt naked doing "unholy things" (according to his mother), with each other. His mother screamed and the two jumped up both cursing their heads off, Carlos was pulled by his ear butt naked out of the room and down the street - continuing back to his home. Running to his room in tears, Carlos regretted everything. His brother was out there doing unspeakable things and then here he was - a mess, a disgrace, a shame. Predictably, his mother entered the room, red with rage, and started bellowing at him and slapped him twice before being banished from his childhood home. Carlos was forced to pack his things and move immediately.

Following a lost path, Carlos took a boat and sailed to America and so his story starts. He quickly became a happier person and attempted to leave his path behind where it belonged. Carlos decided quickly that he liked older men and being spoilt and with his stunning looks and his surprisingly large hook, he made his way into being an extremely successful sugar baby. Along the way he made a courier out of modelling at very young, from nude to fully dressed he did everything and adored the camera. As well as designing celebrities outfits. And now here he is...


Current faith: None (very mild Catholic beliefs)

Occupation: Professional Model, Fashion designer, Sugar Baby

Wealth: Gains a lot of money from his modelling courier but obviously most from his sugar daddies

Talents and Skills:

Carlos is a natural in front of the camera, and can pose in any situation provided, including dangerous ones, while maintaining grace, elegance and sexiness. He's also a surprisingly good at sewing and enjoys to do so too but get's bored very quickly and normally stops, but is able to make gowns and all sorts with only a little fabric, learning from being forced to make clothing for his family. Throughout his last few years, he's been called up to design outfits as well and has gained a huge fame from it. Carlos is known for being an expert in seducing men and flirting, and has some sort of aura that charms and turns men on, and it's still unknown how he does it. He's also known for being surprisingly good at holding his alcohol, seeing as he doesn't drink too much, it's a bit weird for him to hold his alcohol so well.

Strengths:

• Amazing swimmer and runner
• Athletically fit
• Has quite a high pain intolerance
• Amazing against heat, doesn't get hot and irritated skin easily
• Can surprisingly use and fight with a knife very well

Weaknesses:

• A bit of an overall woos; hates insects and normally will run screaming dramatically.
• 110% Drama Queen - so survival is very unlikely to be his strong suit.
• Can't cook anything without burning it
• Even if an animal is trying to kill him, Carlos is unable to kill an animal
• Awful against cold weather
• Extremely Squeamish, hates blood and violence with a passion

Personality:

Carlos' primary mode of living is focused externally, where he deals with things according to how he feels about them, or how he fits into your personal value system. His secondary mode is internal, where he takes things in primarily via your intuition.

Carlos lives in the world of people possibilities. More so than any other, he has excellent people skills. He understands and cares about people, and has a special talent for bringing out the best in others, and sometimes the worse depending on the situation. His main interest in life is giving love, support, and a good time to other people. He's focused on understanding, supporting, and encouraging others. Also, Carlos is able to make things happen for people, and get their best personal satisfaction from this.

Because his people skills are so extraordinary, he has the ability to sometimes even make people do exactly what he wants them to do. He gets under people's skin and gets the reactions that they are seeking. Carlos' motives are sometimes selfish, uses his power over people to manipulate them.

Carlos can be so externally focused that it's especially important for him to spend time alone. This can be difficult for him though sometimes, because he has the tendency to be hard on himself and turn to dark thoughts when alone. Consequently, he might avoid being alone, and fill his lives with activities involving other people, whether that's friends, romantic partners or family. He tends to define his life's direction and priorities according to other people's needs, and may not be aware of his own needs. It's natural to his personality type that he will tend to place other people's needs above their own, but he needs to stay aware of his own needs so that he don't sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others.

Carlos has definite values and opinions which he's able to express clearly and succinctly. He wears his emotions on his sleeve, usually, and does not backstab or talk behind peoples back - making him tell it to their face, which sometimes results in a fight or a bad ending all together. These beliefs will be expressed as long as they're not too personal or about his history or pass, as he struggles opening up to others. Carlos is in many ways expressive and open about his actual feelings, but still must be pampered and supported or he will get angry and irrational.

After his history and twisted past, Carlos hates people getting angry and normally will burst into tears, he is still basically a child. When presented with a tense and uncomfortable situation, he normally walks away and doesn't go back - distancing himself from reality, although this normally leads into danger for himself. Sometimes, when being confronted 1 on 1, he'll explode and get viciously angry and defensive. Even though he hates anger and arguments he does have mild anger issues and will not shy away from fighting someone.

People love Carlos, and not just because of his stunning body and junk in the trunk. He is extremely fun to be with, and truly understands and love people. He is typically very straight-forward and honest. Carlos exudes a lot of self-confidence, and has a great amount of ability to do many different things. He is are generally bright, full of potential, energetic and fast-paced. He is usually good at anything which captures their interest.

Carlos likes for things to be well-organized, and will work hard at maintaining structure and resolving ambiguity. He has a tendency to be fussy, especially with their home environments, especially as he's a perfectionist and likes moneyed men to decorate his apartments.

He does not like dealing with impersonal reasoning. He don't understand or appreciate its merit, and will be unhappy in situations where he's forced to deal with logic and facts without any connection to a human element. Living in the world of people possibilities, he enjoys their plans more than their achievements. He gets excited about possibilities for the future, but may become easily bored and restless with the present.

Carlos has special gift with people, and is basically happy people when he can use that gift to help others and especially himself. His genuine interest in Humankind and his exceptional intuitive awareness of people makes him able to draw out even the most reserved individuals.

Although hiding it well, Carlos has a strong need for a close, intimate relationship, and yet will not put forth a lot of effort in creating and maintaining this relationship, even though he desperately wants someone to love him unconditionally. He's very loyal and trustworthy once involved in a relationship, but that's not a very common sight at the moment.

Carlos is very openly an attention-whore and will do anything in his ability to get attention, whether it's stripping naked to sleeping with his best friend. He drives off attention, it fills his veins and gives him energy. Some may call him a spoilt brat, but after being a sugar baby for so many years, he's adapted to being spoilt and tended to, which results in quite rude and arrogant behaviour. Living the life of a sugar baby, he tends to flirt continuously with anyone he deems 'cute'. From his home town he's known as an incubus, he's able to seduce men very easily and with ease, while maintaining a level of satisfaction for his needs. He does tend to 'come on' to men a bit too much, and is normally a little bit too clingy and sexual.

He normally leaves men quite easily without regret or sadness following him, and doesn't ever feel hung over someone. When wanting to get into a relationship, it's important that he is spoilt and put on a pedestal, otherwise it's a huge turn off. Carlos struggles getting into a relationship that lasts, and normally does just do hookups and one night stands. Of course he'd like to - but has a low attention span, resulting in him becoming uninterested in his romantic partner quickly.

Carlos sometimes has difficulty making good decisions, and may rely heavily on other people in decision-making processes. He may not be able to see possibilities, and will judge things too quickly based on established value systems or social rules, without really understanding the current situation. Carlos is likely to be extremely sensitive to criticism, and to have the tendency to worry excessively and feel guilty. They are also likely to be very manipulative and controling with others, especially if it means they succeed even further.

In general, Carlos is charming, warm, handsome, creative and diverse with richly developed insights into what makes other people tick. His intelligence is around 50/50, nothing special. This special ability to see growth potential in others combined with a genuine drive to help people makes him a truly valued individual.

HEIGHT: 5'9"

WEIGHT: 135lbs

PERSONALITY: Tries very hard to sound loud and rough and violent, but Esther has no violent bone in her body. She is extreamly slow to trust, very survival oriented, but she is also reckless and acts upon feelings rather than logic. Esther is a kind and loving person with a passionate and feircely loyal mindset. She has convinced herself she will do anything to get her family out of poverty, but she has never killed or even hurt anyone which makes her very naive.

HISTORY: Esther grew up with a very ill mother, no father and three younger sisters to take care of. She held their saftey on her back almost all her life. Since she was 14 years old she has been pretending to be a boy so that she can do manual labor for work. Recently her mothers illness has begun to worsen, and her sisters are at risk of being left alone, so Esther did something very reckless. She made a deal with a pirate, she would help them rob a few ships and then she would be able to take some of the cut for herself and her family and hopefully get her mother the medicine she desperatly needed. This was her first attack ever, and now she finds herself stuck on an island with some of the people she attacked.

Arcus

AGE:

19

GENDER:

Non-binary, He/Him, They/Them

SEXUAL ORIENTATION:

Pansexual

PERSONALITY:

Arcus always puts others before him, he barely thinks about himself. He is hard to anger and tries his best to keep it that way. Arcus is weak to receiving affection in any forms, sometimes outright refusing it before coming back to apologize later. He is a hard worker and is always there to pick up slack for people. Unfortunately, Arcus has a mindset where he doesn't deserve what he wants or needs, sometimes pushing him to neglect sleep, food, or basic commodities. Arcus has a hidden reserve of passion along with other crates full of emotions. He only lets himself be happy, serene and comforting and takes his negative emotions out on himself. Honesty is priority, he never tells lies, just leaves out part of the truth.

HISTORY:

Arcus grew up as the pet of the school, ostracized from the group, yet the only one that was able to understand people. He didn't have any friends, just acquaintances that used him. The student barely had time for personal projects, but when he did he worked on them with passion. Most of his time he was in the public library, completing assignments for 'friends'. It didn't matter if the 'friend' was grades above him, he would do it to his best ability.

Finally, he made a friend, he fell and fell hard. But they didn't return the feelings and left him in the dark. He has tried reaching out to them but they never respond. He blames himself for various things that have happened in his life and took the cruise to get away.

WEIGHT: 138 lbs


PERSONALITY:

He is a bit bubbly -he talks a lot when he is happy, he has a lot of energy and rarely manages to stay still for too long unless he is in a bad/sad mood, then he is rather calm and goes somewhere where he can be alone. He can hardly ever hide what he feels so often when he wants to hide his emotions from others he would just suddenly walk away or avoid a person altogether. He has a hard time telling what others feel unless they tell him directly (he could even be called somewhat emotionally imperceptive). He has times when he can also be impulsive and react without thinking. Because of all of this people either think of him as cute and adorable or as cold and unpredictable even if he doesn’t intend to be.


HISTORY:

He was born into a normal middle-class family. When he was twelve his parents divorced and he went to live with his mother who had remarried with a wealthy businesses man despite that he wanted to live with his father.

NAME: Costia Bree Griffin
AGE: 20
GENDER: Female
SEXUALITY: Bisexual
HEIGHT: 5'4" (162 CM)
WEIGHT: 120 Ibs.



HISTORY:
Costia grew up in a loving, middle class household in Ontario, Canada. Her mother and grandmother raised her, as her father was a military veterinarian. Even as she had never spent much time with her father, she loved and revered him. Yet not everything lasts. Her father died, killed by enemy fire in an ambush while he was moving to another sector of the camp. His death scarred Costia, making her retreat into herself. For months, she didn't speak or interact with anybody.

Finally, Costia recovered. Weeks of therapy saved her, and she resolved to live up to her father's image. Costia applied for the military, but, due to physical problems, she was turned away. The devastation of that forced her to leave her family. She moved to Detroit, Michigan, and became a trusted security guard for the governor. Costia soon became bored, and snatched tickets for a sailing trip. And here she is...

PERSONALITY:
Her past whittled her into a stricter type persona. She cares for others who have lost parents, and will most likely stick around them. She is great at hiding her emotions, and earned the nickname, Stone, for her ability to wipe her face of expression. Her temper is a slow burn, and when she snaps, her rage can make even the toughest person blanch.

Strengths/Weaknesses:
She is a trained fighter, and can take out a man twice her size in hand to hand combat. She knows a thing or two about medicine, and has splinted a few broken bones.

Months ago, she acquired a spinal injury. It left her left leg slightly immobilized. She wears a brace on it, and with the brace, she has only a slight limp. The injury sometimes acts up, giving her small surges of pain.

Resources She Has:
She has a Kevlon guard's uniform, and along with that, a small roll of paracord rope. She managed to find a small pocketknife in her uniform. She also has her brace, which could be taken apart for scrap metal.

[Shadow]

Theo Drake

NAME: Theo Drake

AGE: 23

GENDER: Male

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bicurious

HEIGHT: 6’3

WEIGHT: 178

PERSONALITY:
Theo Drake is a pirate to his core. Perhaps not the slang-slinging, crude, murdering drunk that would usually come to mind. However he embodies the care-free, sea-loving, wild child who shrugs off rules as soon as they are spoken. He seeks freedom and adventure constantly and pirating on the open sea was the perfect place to fulfill his originally suppressed dreams. At first glance he doesn’t really appear to be the pirating type; maybe more of a rich playboy trying to be rebellious. However, he takes the job and the safety of the crew very seriously. When they are ‘on the job’ he revels in being the swaggering, flirtatious pirate that both intimidates and intrigues. He almost treats it like a performance, charming the hijacked passengers with a wink while slipping their thousand dollar watch off their wrist without notice. Some of the older pirates didn’t approve of his familiarity with their victims, but for him it was the fun of the job.

When he lacks an audience, he is quieter by far and tends to sit just outside the group. He prefers watching the crew enjoy themselves and sharing the levity from a distance. He is a natural at wearing a leader’s mantle, taking charge and protecting the lives of those beneath him with his own. He has no problem with self-sacrifice if he thinks it would save someone else. The irony is not lost on him that he is a pirate who cares deeply about others’ safety.
He didn’t have an easy life and sometimes it is a burden that shows on his face, in his voice, or the way he carries himself. However, he is typically very uncomfortable talking about his feelings so he often employs his acting skills when he is feeling down. Sometimes the crew might notice that he is more withdrawn than usual, but he always makes up for it by joining in the party the next day.

HISTORY:
Tragedy and romance is almost too storybook a backstory for a pirate, but here it is.
Two young people once fell in love, as young people often do, but they were somehow special. Their bond lasted into adulthood where they found themselves expecting a son. They hadn’t married yet and it was a scandal to everyone who knew them, but they didn’t plan on marrying until after the baby was born. Society would not dictate what they would do with their lives. However, tragedy struck and the young woman miscarried the boy, so late in the pregnancy that it came as a complete shock.
Their love dwindled, but they felt an obligation to each other, so they made the decision to get married and try for a family. It was many years before they finally had their chance at another child. This one wouldn’t be their own. Two of their friends, a newlywed couple, were struck down in their prime in a freak accident. It was all shrouded in a mystery that no one seemed to know the answers to. What everyone did know was that they had left behind a young child, a boy. Our young couple took the child in and raised him as their own when no one else seemed eager to step up. The arrival of this child brought them closer again and they were happy for quite some time.
As one may expect, this child is our own Theo Drake. He was a scrawny child who loved the outdoors and spent hours on the edge of the cliff that looked to the horizon and the sea. He was, perhaps, a bit peculiar and soft-spoken, but his parents loved him nonetheless. Until quite suddenly, one day, he went to the seaside and never returned.
Theo had been sitting on the cliff edge as he often did, when suddenly he noticed a ship on the horizon. Since his cliff overlooked a small bay, it was unusual to see ships heading towards it. Now, he was not a stupid child and he had certainly been trained to approach strangers with caution, but he was also discovering the joys of doing something against the rules. He ran down to the beach and waited as the unmarked ship sailed smoothly towards him. A bizarre and foreign crew stepped off; just the captain and two of his men. In very few words, they offered him a choice to come with them willingly or to wake up in the belly of the ship with a raging headache. Expecting this to be an adventure like the ones he had read about, or perhaps simply an elaborate prank, he agreed to go with them. Within hours, all signs of land had vanished and Theo Drake was standing proudly at the ship’s helm with an oversized captain’s hat on his head and promises from the crew about fulfilling his legacy.

Likes:
Poetry, chasing the sunset, sketching, thrill of the chase, hidden places, lightning, exploring

Dislikes:
People with no moral code, land-locked places, guns, paperwork, loud noises, smell of fish, fires

Hobbies:
Mock sword-fighting, daydreaming/writing stories in his head, wandering

Strengths: The art of bluffing- he is a surprisingly good actor with a flair for over-dramatics, he is strong and agile- good in a fight- he knows how to use his environment to his advantage, he is a natural captain and pilot of a ship- he is skilled in navigating by the stars

Weaknesses:
He tends to be over confident and views himself as largely untouchable, he always tries to avoid people getting hurt- which is hardly helpful when trying to be an intimidating pirate, on occasion something will trigger a silent spell and he will seem distracted and unfocused for several days

What they took with them:
Rope, two pocketknives and a long-knife, a compass that half-works, a notebook filled with random scribblings
