This is Ms. Wicked...
-
~Looks
Rai'Shauni is a tall, strong, and lithe woman who holds physical fitness as top piority. She could be considered a pretty face, yet only wears dark eye makeup to help accent the icy blue-eyed glare that seems to be firmly stamped upon her face. She keeps her hair long but usually likes to primp, brush or hair clip it at max volume to pump up her height. It is a caramel brown but will lighten up and have natural highlights in summertime. Style-wise she is comfort over form yet fashionable in the pirate couture accents and accourtrements. She will undoubtedly be seen in her former Imperial Naval uni all deco'd and altered to fit a pirate of her status. That or her 'simple sun greeting fit' which consists of a crop top, battle skirt and thigh high boots. Of note is a belt buckle of her former naval base commander; always polished and shined whenever displayed. At any given time you will definitely see her with an assortment of weapons right down to her special 'Boomers' packed up in her hip satchel. She doesn't mind a good blunt everyso often so she may be seen with one smoldering away from the corner of her mouth. She never wears a hat proper, only kerchiefs or bandannas on her head.
Scars/Mods/Piercings:
Multiple scars across her body but in particular is the nasty one just under neath her navel and those spiderweb like scars on her arms // Tattoos on her neck, chest, across her shoulders and small of the back. Thighs and tops of feet are inked as well as full sleeves to the knuckles on both hands. Of note is defo the skull and cross bones spanning across her back and shoulders. // Pure gold piercings in ears, brows, nipples, hood in an assortment of studs, bars or rings.

Trivia:
- 'Ms. Wicked' is the nickname she was bestowed by the crew of the Dead End for obvious reasons.
- 'FiendBreaker' was her nickname on The Devastation since she was known to turn scum of the high seas into proper sailors on her watch.
- 'The Raizer' was her codename when she was conscripted by the Imperial Navy. Best keep sakes are her formal uni and Admiral Eddinburgh's belt buckle.
- Her family knew her as 'Rainy' since she was little. Will still call her 'Lil Rainy' despite the woman standing 6 foot tall. Still likes to be called by that pet name but only by those that she loves and trusts. Anyone else can eat bullets.
- Major scars are from chemical burns when she was testing out new explosives. Lucky to be alive. Doesn't like to talk about it.
- Tattoos with foreign script on it are the names of her cherished Aunts, Siblings, Cousins and of course Mother. She may be seen with a far off look as she rubs those particular tats sometimes.
- Will not wear any form of cap or hat since she was too proud of her captain's hat. She was forced to remove it to spare her ship and crew when The Devastation was ambushed and lost the fight vs. multiple Imperial Dreadnoughts.
- Only time you may catch a rare smile is when she is crafting her explosives or firearms. Might even hum a childhood fave song too lol.
- Loyal to the Captain and Officers, Devoted to her boat, but yearns to captain her own ship again despite never trying since she was conscripted.
- Has a good smoke everyso often but won't do so on duty, yet will keep one between her lips unlit. Uses her special stock blunt/cigars to bribe crew. That and small doses of her specialty liquid concoction, 'Clink'
- Sometimes talks in her sleep or mumbles when she has too much too drink about some kind of heart felt apology to someone named 'Kishy.'
- Says she is not into relationships since no one is good enough for her and that she cannot be manacled by useless 'feels.' She's actually just gay AF and hiding deep in the closet.

~Bio:
-
Rai'Shauni is the 2nd eldest child of the Matriarch of the House Méchante (secretly they are Clan Wicked amongst the proper black flag waving Pirates). The Méchantes are one of the top families in their city and as Clan Wicked, top faction dealing in smuggling of illicit goods, weaponry, services and substances. On the southern reaches of the mainlands, they hold power in 2 Major Ports: Scatterville and Port Anchordown and 1 rivertown: Desmond's Hope
- Scatterville is nicknamed 'Slaughterville' due to the history of bloody revolutions that took place there. The nick stuck due to the amount of criminal activity there. This where most of the House Méchante fam is located. They are actually a donating family to the city and the name House Méchante garners much respect and accolade here.
- Port Anchordown is a half decent town. The other half you want to steer clear. Even though they have a large collection of law enforcement, most of them are on the take so if you need help you'd better have deep pockets. 'Clan Wicked' has a private safe harbour for 'friendly to the cause' boats and ships.
- Desmond's Hope is nicknamed 'Degenerate Hotel' due to the amount of vagrants and ne'erdowells that pass in and out of the city. It has one of the biggest casinos and red light entertainment districts on the mainland of the southern shore. From afar it looks beautiful with half the town overlooking the river and great lake but as soon as you get into the town itself....? Meh. Notsomuch.
- Her siblings are: Po'lita - 33, Mik'Andre - 25, Mak'Khyler - 23, Ki'Ashya - 19. All the siblings get along great despite Rai and Po butting heads often. Po'lita is a strong and imposing presence and one of the welcome leaders her family. She is a proper rolemodel for her siblings and cousins; definitely heiress to the Matriarch title when its time. Mik'Andre is the bruiser: loyal, stoic and intimidating, Mak'Khyler is the brains: clever, studious and manipulative, Ki'Ashya is a good girl but too much of a mama's girl and tries to get out of trouble by the pulling 'Oh, but I'm the baby...!' card toooo often.
- Rai was trained from a very young age to understudy her eldest sister and that is where the power struggle between the pair started; Rai could not stand being 2nd best. She excelled at everything she was taught and then some but just couldn't shake being 2nd place in Mama's eyes.
- Rivalry continued into her early 20's until Rai was awarded 'The Devastation', Flagship of the Clan Wicked armada. It seemed better this way that Rai commanded on the high seas and Po commanded on dry land. Perhaps it was Mama's design all along?
- She and her crews were major terrors on the high seas and the Devastation earned it's proper place amongst the infamous names of pirates everywhere. The ship was a major headache and nightmare to the Imperial forces and ships they preyed upon.
- Then came that fateful day she had her final inebriating puff of herb while on duty. She was high and miscalculated a run. Several privateer boats had over run her ship and crew. But her baby sister stepped up. Ki turned herself over to them in exchange for her big sister's release. As much as Rai fought and protested, they just found the darling, baby daughter of the Clan Wicked Matriarch too good a leverage to pass up. The captains of the Privateer boats took Kia'Ashya away and left Rai'Shauni, the FiendBreaker alone to her own devices.
- Rai set up a rescue mission to get her sister back and she played right into their hands. Despite the ambush, The Devastation managed to take out a couple of ships from the Armada, but that lone vessel was no match for the pack of Dreadnoughts. She was boarded and given an ultimatum. Remove her hat and bow low to their flags or lose her ship, crew, but most importantly, a chance to see her baby sister ever again. The loyal and ferocious crew of the Devastation was ready to go down in a blaze of glory with their beloved captain. But instead they stood in absolute horror and humiliation as they watched the FiendBreaker take a knee and bestow her precious tri-corn hat over to the Imperials.
- The crew of the Devastation was set adrift and the Devastation herself was taken as prize for the king. And the sweetener was that they had conscripted the FiendBreaker, Rai of Clan Wicked. She served for a couple years as 'The Raizer,' biding her time, playing along until that day, she got her old crew back in secret to bust out Ki'Ashya.
- During her escape from the Imperial Navy, she held the Admiral Eddinburgh ransom in exchange for her baby sister. She could have taken her hat back but chose to take the Admiral's prized belt buckle instead. She bore no right whatsoever to wear that hat any longer. Never again for the blunders and heartache she had caused her crew and family. Mama would have her as 2nd place forever more. So be it. She accepted her fate.
- She sent Ki back aboard the Devastation, homeward bound back to Anchordown. Rai would head west to wherever and however far the winds took her. A solemn but fond farewell they gave her. They knew she had to do this; it was her way of healing. When she was ready Rai would find her way back to them. All 21 guns fired to honour her. They raised the skull and crossbones for her this one last time. All on deck upon her former boat watched as she boarded another ship without them. It just looked so wrong and felt 1000 times even worse. But that final middle finger salute she shot them felt right. They all shot back a middle finger salute in kind for her then set sail back to port.
- Her name and rep carried far and was hired on right away when she came to the western shores looking for work. She bounced here and there before finally settling in aboard The Dead End. They were a vile and bawdry bunch, but over the 16 months she's served aboard, she managed to get a grasp on how to best use her skills to get them to work as a team. Soon enough the name 'Ms. Wicked was name they called her on the Dead End. And oh, how fitting.
[*] That lead up to the present time. They were beset upon a deep sea hunt. But she had never heard of such a wild and lofty claim by her Captain Marine Hainsworth before. The goal was outrageous. But if there was one way to redeem herself in Mama's eyes this opportunity would be it.
[*]Crew salute! Middle fingers up! Cuz they were going to catch a mermaid. Bring it on...
~Relationships:
Captain Marine Hainsworth: Commander and sole proprietor of the infamous boat: The Dead End.
- - Served aboard for just over a year now. Has been put through the paces by the Capt, but Rai's previous experiences as both Captain of a pirating vessel and conscript for the Imperial Navy has proved herself worthy aboard this boat.
- They have an excellent business relationship and that's as far as it goes. Regardless Rai is committed to the cause her superior lays out for them. She's relegated herself to always being 2nd to the capt and never the capt herself. But damned if she don't prove exactly why she was a captain of a flagship to begin with. [*/SIZE]
[*]Capt. Hainsworth gleans much needed info from Rai re: the Imperial Navy and Rai minds that not one bit. She's used to giving big sisterly advice to her younger Siblings. Besides every little edge they have on the Navy is that much more chances of their boat's success.
[*]Rai is loyal to the captain and makes sure the crew is too. The crew jokes behind the Captain's back by calling her Cherry Waves. Due to some believing her but merely a dainty damsel pretending to be a proper grown ass'd man. They think that the dainty way of saying blood in the water would be a woman saying: "Oh oops! I just made cherry waves... Teeee-heeee-heeee--"Rai busts their chops and while they are detailing the cracks between the steps:
"Oh she be Cherry Waves if she be willin' it. And ye will put respect upon that name. Hear me now for each time ye say Cherry Waves, ye will actually be saying "Blood Tide..." If ye finds ye'selves not believin that then I will write it all out for ye's on the 'End's main sails with yer blood. Read it then, as ye choke rotten, hanging by yer own entrails. So. Hearts; always remember who lines yer palms heavy and make the whole o' the Keys know her name and respect it. None o' ye is the crew of anything so dainty. Ye be the worthy crew of the Blood Tide! When we be done with this coast, they will know everysingle damned name of all those responsible for painting their shores the colour of their nightmares! So tell me. Hearts?! Who ye be?! Again! For the Blood Tide! Middle fingers up!! And there ye be... that's the energy, lads. Now. Get yerselves some dignity. Finish here... then start on the aft deck steps. Post. Haste..."

This is Hustle...
-
~Looks
Comet is a sleight, sinewy, and eager young lady who has more strength and go-go than a mule. The girl is decent looking but does smack of simple in that eye not covered by her eye patch. Blonde hair reaches mid-back and usually tied down with a kerchief or single braided by Ms. Wicked. It has streaks of gold and during summer it is completely wheat gold. Clothes are simple and functional; the only fashionable ones she has are the ones donated to her by Ms. Wicked. Boots and buckle are always shined and in tip top shape. She will always be seen hauling something or other and always with a new bandage on her person somewhere. Her specialty is weapons or powder that she will tirelessly jump, cross, climb below, crawl inbetween and climb above decks to get the job done.
Scars/Mods/Piercings:
Multiple scars across her body but in particular are the criss-crossing ones upon her back and thighs. // Tattoos have only been done in the past year since she was on board: cheeks, neck, chest, arms, hips, thighs and buttocks.

- Low Self-Esteem, Simple-minded, Overprotective of Ms. Wicked

Trivia:
- Her less favourable nickname is 'Clunk' due to her being awkward and injury prone. When Ms. Wicked is not around crew will mock her making a 'clunking' sound as she passes by. 'Powder Bunny' is the favourable nickname she was bestowed by the crew of the Dead End due to her constantly hopping over things while carrying powder kegs. Yeah she proud of that name and soooooo loves it.
- 'Hustle' is the nickname that organically came about from when Ms. Wicked and the crew would yell for her to hustle. When she was finally moving at speed palatable to be a junior crew mate it just turned into a nickname they called her and were proud to call her.
- 'Starry Nights' was her stage name when she had to perform for her owners before coming to the Dead End. As an orphaned street child she called herself Star. Does not know her real names.
- Got her eye blown out when learning to mix chemicals to make powder. Never made that same mistake since.
- Tattoos were donated by Ms. Wicked. They are made to cover up the whiplash scars and wipe away the names of those that owned her. Ms. Wicked said that Comet will never ever again be with a 'toy girl' status. Ever.
- Always seems to have an animal follow her around much to the dismay of Capt. Mayfellow. But still a useful asset to calm barking dogs or upset mules.
- Has this charming, goofy chuffing laugh that while makes her look simple, it is adorable nonetheless. She has her best laughs when she fiiiiiiiinalllly gets the joke.
- Always pines to be attached to Ms. Wicked's hip and is her confidant. Desires to please Captain but always seems to get her foot stuck in her mouth by saying silly things
- Rai'Shauni named her Comet when she brought the girl on board. They called her a falling star as she became an older toy girl. Rai said that she is not fallen; she is a ball of fire that will fly away high and away from this hell some day. Just like a comet.

- Dance and music can be used to evoke different emotions thus highly effective to raise morale.

- Dagger and Main Gauche when it hits the fan
- What she has on her: Work knife and Work hatchet
~Bio:
- A street urchin that lived with an enclave of other street kids until got raided and kidnapped. They were sold and Star ended up going to a red light performing establishment that had an underground sleaze network. Star became Starry Nights when she was turned into a performing 'toy girl'. That's all I'mma say about that part of her background.
- In her late teens, she was discovered by Rai when she was being transported for trade. For whatever reason Rai saw her and decided to rescue her. She bought Star's freedom and renamed her Comet.
- Rai took her under her wing and nursed the girl back into at least a functional young lady, but still she had problems integrating into society. There was only one place where she would be able to fit in of which Rai was absolute certain she could take her simple little ward. And so on her marine escapades the girl went with Rai, learning as she went and opening up a little more each time.
- Rai came upon a position she just could not turn down. The Dead End's rep went before her in leagues. She knew the name and heard of the Brazen captain. She decided to join and part ways finally with Comet.
- For whatever reason, Rai just could not leave her behind and told her that if she wanted to come along it would be back breaking work, day in, day out. And that she would have to actually learn to work powder if she wanted to remain useful. That and being a powder monkey under her tutelage was the best way no one would ever mess with Comet on the boat. The girl whole-heartedly agreed and boarded with Rai.
- She had no idea Rai was a former pirate captain; she thought she was a pure angel. But no, she learned firsthand the reason the crew soon called her saviour; "Ms. Wicked."
- It was not until she earned her title; 'Hustle' did she find any reprieve from the harshness of Ms. Wicked's demands. But upon proving herself her mentor found a confidant in her and Comet herself found another altogether from the crew. When it clued into her what exactly the word was and how long she had waited to earn and find it, she cried her heart out. Others finally gave her Respect.
- And so now here she is; a proud member of Capt. Hainsworth's boat, The Dead End. And she is happy to always be at Rai/ Ms. Wicked's side. And now she has found not only the courage but the desire to want something more from her saviour than just a mentor/ protege relationship. Something much, much more...

Slayer of the Captain of 'The Devastation' ○ Lesbian ○ Toned, Athletic build ○ Saboteuse/Espionage Expert
-
This is Ashes...
-
~Looks
Ki'Ashya is a short, smiley, and energetic woman who is much stronger and faster than that curvy frame looks. Most consider her cute and like her siblings she can only be bothered to put on eye make up when she feels like it; it really does accent the perpetual glint in those icy blue-eyes. She keeps her hair at shoulder length at most but is usually seen sporting a pixie cut or just fully shorn cuz why not. Unlike her siblings, her caramel brown locks will lighten up to red in summer and sun and darken in wintertimes. Style-wise she will spend her hard earned coin to purcahse whatever she needs to keep up her personal fashion taste. Normally she is found in tight breeches with fantastic patterns, a corset or bustier if it is a 'aye, do feel sexy today, i do,' kinda day. No skirts unless she is out on the town and will always balance out or complement Capt. A's drip with her own fit. Oh! And shoes? She's been warned to cut down the collection lol Of note is an ornate and well-loved cutlass that she carries around as a sort of formal wear. This is the infamous 'Painbringer;' blade of the Capt. Fiendbreaker herself of the The Devastation. (yes. She does have a story of how she bested The Fiendbreaker (her sister who is actaully the Fiendbreaker has no clue... lol)) Oh, and you know that she doesn't mind a good blunt so she may oft be seen with one smoldering away from the corner of her mouth. When working she always makes a point of wearing a hat or bandanna.
Scars/Mods/Piercings:
Multiple scars across her body but in particular are the ones on her neck, thigh, tummy and back; acrobats go hard and fail hard lol // Tattoos on nearly 70% of her body. Of note is defo the skull and cross bones spanning across her back and shoulders with the blunt at the corner of its mouth. // Pure gold piercings in ears, nose, nipples, navel and hood in an assortment of studs, bars or rings.

Trivia:
- No crewmate asks; 'Where's the lookout?' Its usually her less favourable nickname they use; 'Where in blazes is 'That Little Thief' hiding now?!' 'Ashes' is the favourable nickname she was bestowed by the crew of the Neptune's Revenge due to her skills for entering other ships undetected and setting them ablaze.
- 'Shade' was her nickname on The Devastation since she was known to just vanish in the dark. That and she absolutely haaaaaaaated close combat and so she would say; "I'mma just go get some shade." which was Ki speak for; "I'm getting the hell outta here, cover me!" 'Shading' became a term on the boat meaning; 'running for cover.'
- Her family knew her as 'Kishy' the baby of the Méchante siblings. All her siblings are over 6 foot tall, she was destined to always be the baby since she was tiny compared to them. They used to tease her that she was adopted but she had the very same ice blue eyes as her mom and siblings.
- Tattoos with foreign script on it are the names of her cherished Aunts, Siblings, Cousins and of course Mother. Proud to have more tattoos on her body than her sisters.
- Tells amaaaazing tales but usually half of it is exaggerated or even absolute BS lol Best loved tales are the ones she uses her musical talents with.
- Stoner doesn't really affect her ability to work the boat but she cannot fight properly or react as acrobatically. Some prefer her stoned cuz it knocks her energy and motormouth down a peg.
- Giving her something to carve will shut her up for hooooourrrrsssss...

~Bio:
- **See Rai'Shaini's CS for immediate family members.
- From a young age, she was taught to earn her keep on both the seas and in the home. Trained under her brother's boat 'Storm Vengeance and sister's boat 'The Devastation' as a youth and young teen.
- Yet despite her love for sailing, she found her calling more on the mainland pulling off hustles and cat-burglary since she was adverse to getting her ass handed to her by other pirates. Stealing had less cuts and bruises for sure. She worked with her cousins in an outfit called 'The Whispering' that specialized in smuggling and heists. Kia was good but they hated the fact that she was always first to escape from a fight but loved the fact that she could talk her way out of a fight too.
- And no stranger to attracting trouble, she fell in love with another girl, Tazey, from a rival gang earning her the ire of the Matriarch of Clan Wicked, her Mama when she found out. This was her darling baby girl!!
- Given an ultimatum to choose either her Clan or this silly girl, Kia chose her family. But the pair of lovestruck girls would have one last fantastic time together. They had one final romantic day out on the open water together on a small sailboat. Kia heard a terrible panicked cry from the waters; her lover had fallen overboard!? Kia jumped in the salty waters but she found no one to save. ((But she swears she saw a dark form swimming away that looked to her like part sailfish, part person...?))
- Her lover had to rescue her but not before Kia passed out. Tazey had no idea how to sail and so they were set adrift... and promptly intercepted by 'The Devastation,' a Clan Wicked flag ship captained by Kia's sister, Rai. Big sis had been spying on the pair.
- Luckily for Kia and her lover, Rai was softhearted towards her little sister and did not tell Mama. Rai returned the other girl to the mainland and took Kia out to sea in the sailboat to have a bit of sister-to-sister chat to set Kia straight and never let her family down again. Upon reboarding her boat, they were ambushed by the Naval Armada.
- The last she saw of her big sis was her crying and screaming that it was a huge mistake and to take Rai instead. Kia just stood, helplessly tied to the main mast on the other ship. As tears streamed down her eyes, she wriggled a hand free and in final a moment of resolve, she hurled her favourite bandanna and let it loose into the wind, flying towards her big sis and her sis's beloved boat.
- When it was all said and done, she was personal prisoner for one Admiral Jamis Eddingburgh. Fast forward a couple years and she is busted out by her Sister Rai and her Devastation crew.
- They only had time for one final dinner together. They exchanged a teary goodbye and items; Rai's Cutlass to Kia, and, Rai's tricorn hat returned; Kia had nicked it on the way out from the Good Admiral's wall.
- Not too soon thereafter, she returned to Achordown and found her ex-lover Tazey. She busy since Kia was gone; Tazey was a captain of her own boat! ...and was a mother with a toddler and another on the way... She sailed with Tazey, her child and-- her husband. For only a month was Kia able to stand it. This was nothing like the dreams she had for she and Tazey in all that time she was incarcerated by Eddingburgh. The broken heart can only hold together for so long until it shatters completely.
- Tazey's boat made shore after a 3 week long trek westbound into the 'Keys as was requested by her... her friend. They were departing yet again from one another. There was not a romantic final boat ride into the blue yonder, dinner by sunset, making love by moon light, waking in one anothers arms, rocking gently awale by the waves of the jealous Neptune.
- No. Instead she changed her name to 'Tasia' to honour her former lover, and 'Wisperin' to honour her cousins and family of her old skullduggery outfit. Then she promptly made her way to set out to do what she came here to do; find Rai'Shauni and bring her home.
- She easily passed the tests and trials for the position on the infamous boat, Neptune's Revenge, owned by one Captain Athena Mayfellow. While serving upon this deck, she is certain they will find her sister; once hired, she and Kia will take over this boat and make it back home.
- But it will be hard to betray Captain Mayfellow; 'Ashes' is already quite loyal and happy to serve the good Captain Mayfellow.
- ...that and Capt. A is so hot...

GENERAL
☆ Even now you mark my steps
lovely bitter water
✦ Marine Hainsworth / Captain of The Dead End / Cherry Waves- Deftones
─★ 5'10 / 189 lbs
─★ Cis Woman / She/Her
─★ 29 yrs old
✦ Species
─★ Human
✦ Occupation / Residence
─★ Former con-woman; Current Captain of the Dead End/ No Permanent Residence
✦ Abilities
─★ Conning/ Fighting/ Shooting
Conning: Before she was a pirate, Marine was a con-woman, able to talk someone out of their livelihood and then some. This trait comes in handy on the high seas, used to trick other sailors and those who question her authority, while also helping her dodge the attention of government officials out for her.
Fighting: Her days at the Orphanage taught her how to fight, and how to make it dirty. Whenever she’s stuck fighting without her signature cutlass or pistol, she makes use of her surroundings to destroy her opponent. She doesn’t exactly adhere to any rules, except one: win at all costs.
Shooting: While she isn’t the best at shooting, she certainly isn’t the worst either. Indeed, for a Pirate- never-mind a captain- this is an incredibly important asset to have, to which she’s quite skilled at.

✦ Plump, yet muscular / Mortal / Health: 79%
─★ Tall and stately, Marine holds herself with a sense of pride, control oozing with every step she takes. Her skin is a medium brown, with her hair a shade darker. It falls in waves to her shoulders. Her eyes are a dark gray. She’s rather plump, but make no mistake- most of that is pure, raw muscle.
─★ She usually dresses in dark colors befitting her station, making her a specter of death on the horizon to her enemies. When she’s not on a raid however, she dresses in a more casual blouse and vest, as well as a skirt. Usually however, she’s seen with her captain's coat, trousers, a button down, and a vest.

HISTORY ☆
I'll walk on it, I'll walk all over you
Walk on it, walk on it, walking one, two
✦ Marine was born in the small town of Riftport, on a cold, windy night. Hers had been a hard labor- the birthing pains, her mother said, had started early in the day, before she’d even had time to climb out of bed and start her day.
Her parents were old. Not so old that pregnancy was entirely out of the question- her mother still bled monthly, after all- but old enough that it would be hazardous. Even though the two had been wed for decades, they had been unable to produce a child, failed attempt after failed attempt crushing the couple’s hopes until they’d long since given up on having a baby.
Marine had been unexpected, and while the couple were overjoyed at finally having a child, there was still a faint sense of dread that hung over them as the pregnancy lengthened. With each month that passed, Marine’s mother felt herself grow faint. She threw up her meals, stating that they tasted like sawdust. She could barely walk for the pain that blew through her limbs. Her head felt heavy and leaden. And at times, she would cough up a smatter of blood.
The hopes of both Marine and her mother surviving the pregnancy were low- so low, in fact, her mother had scrounged up her belongings and tucked it into a chest along with a letter, telling her husband that if she died, the belongings would go to Marine. As the due date grew closer, the couple was consumed with terror, begging for the powers that be to keep both mother and baby safe.
And it seemed they listened, for both mother and child survived the birth, healthy as they could be.
Marine was loved deeply by the two of them, spoiled rotten and coddled at every turn. They strove to give her everything her heart desired. During her birthday, she was showered with only the most lavish of gifts (within their price range, of course). Fine porcelain dolls; skirts made out of tulle; pillows spun out of soft down. For Riftport, she was homegrown royalty.
Her father was a butcher, and her mother would use his cast off meat for her pie shop. While they weren’t extraordinarily wealthy- indeed, their pockets got all the more tight during winter- they still made enough to live a comfortable existence in the village, even being able to afford hiring a girl from a nearby farm to help with cooking.
Marine was, even in her youth, a stubborn little girl, bossy and pig headed. She would personally take offense if she didn’t get her way, and do everything in her power to get what she wanted. She was exceptionally tone deaf, asking question after question with no regards to how she was making the other person feel. She didn’t really seem to understand the one simple fact about life: that the world was bigger than just her.
Though, this isn’t to say she was an ‘evil’ child. She was quick witted and funny, inquisitive and ambitious. She longed to sail away from her small, inconsequential village and head to distant lands. Some of her favorite stories as a child, from the ones her Father would tell her, would always involve one creature in particular: the Merfolk.
Marine’s life continued in peace, the days churning by until her 12th birthday. She remembered being excited about it: the toys she would receive! The dresses, the games! She sat with bated breath as the weeks flew by.
That is, until tragedy struck, in the form of a disease that all but destroyed her family.
Her father died of the plague, his skin turning sickly and waxen, green lumps breaking out on his skin. It was an ugly sight, one that haunted Marine’s nightmares for years on end. Her mother, while she didn’t die from the disease, was greatly weakened. Marine spent great months caring for her mother, cleaning her up and feeding her while trying (and failing) to find some way to bring in money to the house. Marine would run odd jobs and errands around the village, but none of it was enough to support them.
The town of Riftport was but a wisp of its former self by the time Marine’s mother died. The cooking girl had left before, in the night, to return back to her family. She would’ve taken Marine, she had said sadly, but they barely had enough to feed themselves on a good day, never mind taking care of another mouth to feed. Marine didn’t have any other family members- her parents had both been only children, and her grandparents had long since died. Her friends were all either ill, or their pockets were drained, meaning there was nobody else to take her in.
And so Marine was cast off to the Orphanage.
Marine would spend her years in the cold, desolate orphanage, eating the slop they served and keeping her head down as the Mistress of the Orphanage shouted and raved at her charges. Marine hated every moment of the Orphanage, and when she was 17, stole away in the night, with only the clothes on her back and stolen jewelry in her hands.
She sold the jewelry and managed to make her way to a port city. The children at the orphanage had been sneaky and slinky, knowing con after con. They’d been a brutal, cruel sort, picking on her in the early days she was there. That is, until she learned their tricks, and started fighting back.
Marine worked a few cons in the port city: nothing crazy, but just enough to put food on the table. Yet, in the port city, in such close proximity to the wharf where ships packed in and fisherman - as well as the occasional pirate- flocked in, Marine longed to find her way onto one of those boats.
And that’s just what she did. She took a job on one such ship, the Bitter End, and worked herself to the bone. She moved through the ranks, slowly at first, then quicker until she was all the way at the top- well, almost at the top. All that was left was one pesky complication- the Captain.
It wasn’t too hard to turn the crew against him. A whisper there, a nudge there, some bribery, a reminder of the many times he’d failed them, and soon enough, the captain was ousted and a new captain- Marine- was named. Marine quickly proved to be an effective, if cold captain. She ruled the ship with an iron fist, pushing the rules of Piracy whenever she could. It wasn’t so much, however, as to get her booted off of the crew- just enough to inspire fear and supplication to her.
Regardless of her unsavory methods, one couldn’t deny that Marine was a formidable captain, bringing in riches and gold with each one of her raids. While she was not a kind captain, she did pay her crew handsomely, and took her job as Captain seriously.
Now though, the tides have changed. Providence has blessed her ship, for what bigger blessing is there than finding a mermaid entangled in the ships fishing nets? Mermaids, rumored to hold the key to immortality- she's willing to try anything to get that power. Anything.

Bang, bang, a knock on the door
Another big bang and you're down on the floor
─★ Hobbies
Music: Growing up, Marine was subject to a slew of music lessons- first from her Father, then a private tutor who was a friend of the family’s. She wasn’t terribly fond of these lessons, but did become rather talented at the piano and violin. She dropped these instruments when she made her way to the Orphanage, but in the years after, picked the violin up again. It isn’t something she plays regularly, though sometimes you can spy her practicing.
Cartography: A little known fact is that Marine is absolutely fascinated by maps and geography. Growing up, some of her favorite lessons centered around the geography of Obelia, as well of that of foreign lands. This is a more recent hobby Marine has picked up, and has found incredibly rewarding. Her lodgings on the ship are covered with maps, globes, and atlas after atlas, all to aid in her love of map making.

Ghostly Bender
NAME: Zacharia (Zach) Flintlocke
GENDER: Male
AGE: 22
HEIGHT: 5'9
RACE: Human
APPEARANCE: Zach has dark ginger-ish brown hair, amber eyes, light skin. His hair is medium layered and covers his left eye, that is covered by a black and red bandana worn like an eyepatch. Underneath, his left eye is blind and paler than his other eye, and with a small scar across it.
The clothes he wears is a long white pirate jacket (but sometimes he wears a black jacket instead) and sometimes he wears a black musketeer-ish pirate hat. He wears golden shoulder pads, brown belts and fingerless gloves.
Background: Zacharia grew up in a small seaside village, being somewhat poor and bullied by other rich people. When he was young, about in his teens, the village got attacked by furious pirates who raided and pillaged the village and killed almost everyone who lived there. Zach was very young and naive back then. When his parents got attacked by the pirates, he thought it was a good idea to try and save them from getting killed. Zach attempted to step on a random pirate’s toes, and then grasped a cutlass sword out of the man’s hand. As he tried to attack the pirates who were about to kill his parents, one of the pirates grabbed him and and hit him with his sword, that was cause of the blindness and scar over his eye. But as Zach was considered to young to die, the pirates let him live with the pain, and painfully watch his parents die. He got raged with fury, and decided to run away from the situation, finding a way to flee from his hometown, as he watched the village burn to ashes. Luckily, he later arrived at a much safer town, farther off from the shores, where rarely pirates raid. He lived there until he got older, he traveled back closer to the shores again. He had never really had any friends, but until one day, everything changed as he met up with the crew of the Dead End, making a deal to have a stay with them at least from now on. A place where he thrived more than any other places.
Personality: Zach has never really cared about tidiness, he was used to get bullied by richer kids and teens when he was younger, so he doesn’t really take anything personally. Zach himself is a very sly and cunning pirate, who can be tactful at times but prefers to improvise as things goes on. He can be pretty laid back at times, but at other times he can have a somewhat low self esteem, however he usually tries to mask that with his sassy and bold personality. He's pretty good at making deal, and especially scams. Most of the time, Zach is very loyal to his other crewmates, but he can sometimes be seen as an annoying brat.
Equipments: A cutlass sword, and a flintlock gun.
Skills: Zach is very skilled at gun aiming and shooting, unlike sword fighting, where he’s more clumsy. He's also very skilled at being tricky and lie.
Zariah Turner
Bestest dragon
Name: Noelani
Age: Just turned 18
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual biromantic
Race: Mermaid
Role: Missing Mermaid's Sibling
Height: Mermaid Form: 5' 5'' | Human Form: 5' 3''
Weight: Mermaid Form: 130 lbs | Human Form: 123 lbs
Appearance: Noelani is around average in height, and carries herself with confidently. Her eyes are a mix of green and blue - not quite teal, but something in-between. A mysterious color, one that many people notice and (in some occasions) comment on. She has a roundish face, with thin lips and a small nose. Noelani's always smiling, unless she's worried about something important. Her hair is a light blonde, and falls a few inches past her shoulders. Noelani insists on wearing her hair down, even though it often ends up tangled by the end of her day. Noelani's tail is slim and long. The scales of her tail begin as purple, but gradually fade to sunset-orange. Noelani's fin is shaped like one might expect, and begins sunset-orange but fades to yellow at the very tips.
Personality: Noelani possess strong empathy, and is finely attuned to the emotions of everyone around her. But, when it comes to her own emotions, she struggles. She understands them, but can't control them. Instead, they burst out of her without warning. Because she's so in tune with other people, Noelani hates seeing others upset. Her first instinct is to help them, but her bluntness and directness end up worsening the situation. Wanting to help, but lacking the skills to do so, leaves Noelani feeling uncomfortable and anxious around anyone who's upset. In a broader sense, she understands the nuance of the situation, but can't approach it with tact. Her disconnect between her goals and outcomes is a constant source of frustration for Noelani.
Noelani has an insatiable curiosity that fuels her quest for knowledge and information about everything around her. When she discovers something she doesn't fully understand, she'll ask whatever comes to mind, without thinking. Sometimes, her questions come off as inappropriate or rude, but Noelani doesn't always realize that at the time. She always wants to learn more, and this desire increases when she comes across a subject that's confused other researchers. Noelani loves solving mysteries, and dedicates herself to solving the ones that interest her, especially if it has personal significance.
Moreover, Noelani is constantly drawn by a desire for wanderlust. She exudes boundless energy and excitement, that becomes even more noticeable when she's feeling strong emotions. Still, it's plainly noticeable, even when Noelani is calm. She posesses a strong desire to explore and discover more about the world, and feels restricted by being forced to stay in one place. Her determination and courage drive her forward, even if they aren't always noticeable. When she's passionate about something, Noelani will do anything in her power to get what she wants, going further than most would dare.
