She can also be rather loud, which comes in handy when she's screaming from the top of the sails. She prefers being around people that also like drinking, singing, and being loud in general. She's the type of enabler to get people to loosen-up rather than to do their duties. However, when the going gets rough she's the type of person who will stand by your side and stab anyone in the back to make sure her friends are protected. <br/><br/>She's called the merciless in the fact that she has no pity when someone crosses her the wrong way. Or no pity when she's convinced that someone needs to join them in a drink, no matter their morals or what they've been going through. She will fight to the end and show no remorse in any of her actions.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> <br/><br/>Edrea requested to join the Esperanza after being told to walk the plank on her last pirate crew. It turns out that crew was expected to have a lookout that actually paid attention and stayed sober enough to look for neighboring imperial ships or other pirates that wanted to steal their loots from an abandoned island. After one night of singing too many songs and drinking too much rum, she fell asleep on the job and another smaller pirate crew came in and was able to steal a few barrels of rum before the First Mate awoke. The smaller time pirates didn't make it, as the crew that she was apart of was known for being rather brash and blood hungry pirates. <br/><br/>It was decided at that moment that Edrea maybe wasn't the best fit. From the beginning, they didn't quite like how she wasn't as obsessed with smashing skulls or the other morbid things they would do to their enemies. Making her walk the plank, rather than how they usually disposed of people, was only given to Edrea because of her very <em>persuasive</em> skills once she sobered up. After jumping the plank she used her swimming skilled to wash ashore toward another island. <br/><br/>Luckily a merchant ship picked her up. Using those same skills to convince the group that they needed a proper lookout to help them search for those pesky foes. She sailed with them for a while, learning more skills, and drinking far less rum. Developing quite the taste of tobacco instead, since that was what they were selling and shipping. It wasn't until she waved goodbye to her new friends in Port Royal that Edrea was looking for something new again. She wanted to go back being a pirate on the seas!<br/><br/>She had been sober long enough on the island and merchant ship. It was easier to find the Esperanza looking for new crew members and she persuaded them to let her join. They didn't need to know about her obtuse drinking problem or the fact that she constantly liked to smoke her own rolled cigars no matter where she was. In the barracks, at dinner, or under deck. You can expect the sweet smell of tobacco to grace their nostrils. For now, she's generally a rather new face who is chipper, willing to crack jokes, and get people to have a good time. <br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> <br/><br/>- Persuasive<br/>- Sword Combat<br/>- Loyal<br/>- Great eyesight! <br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> <br/><br/>- Drunk<br/>- Brash<br/>- Lazy<br/>- Naive<br/><br/><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> O&amp;O (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=142047.0)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> Not yet.<br/></span>
