				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4e/SaerraChristoph.jpg)</div><strong>Player:</strong> Saerra (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=45858.0)<br><strong>Name:</strong> <span class="bbc_u">Christoph le Croix</span>, Mister Cross, Lord Cross, Mister Gold, That Filthy Son of a Bitch.<br><strong>Age:</strong> 26<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male.<br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Gay. <em>"Do what I say and I might let you live."</em> Strong Dom.<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Born in England. English mother from a very good family and a French father of disputable origin.<br><br><strong>Allegiance:</strong> The side that earns him the most coin.<br><strong>Ship:</strong> The Dirty Secret.<br><strong>Rank/Occupation:</strong> Financer of operations. You work on a ship he owns in this way, he rather not see you drinking <em>his</em> money away.<br><strong>Equipment:</strong> Documents you won't be reading any time soon. Writing utensils. A very well filled money bag. Wears a blank signet ring on his left hand's ringfinger. <br><strong>Weapons:</strong> Excellent swordsman. Prefers the <strong>rapier</strong>, but can handle most swords without effort. Carries muskets on land but dislikes his powder getting wet and having to deal with the hassle on ships.<br>Aside these more standard weapons he always carries a <strong>whip</strong>. Not only does that operate quite satisfactory in any a weather, it also serves in the bedroom.<br><br><strong>Description:</strong> Towering tall. Though he appears to have no muscle to him, that's all clothing. Though he's slender, there is only muscle under the expensive clothes he wears.<br>Pale skin, amber eyes that can appear red in certain lighting, black hair he wears loose.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> In short, he's a bastard, and not only because he was born out of wedlock. Mostly concerned with his money, he doesn't care all too much about people. Though he can be deadly charming when he wants to get his way, and very effective at a negotiation table as he enjoys those kind of games a little too much.<br>If he had any less power than would be normal, he'd be a very dangerous manipulator.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Born as a bastard, Christoph had less influence in his family than he wanted. Though not send away to France, he wasn't exactly wanted, either, and grew up mostly fending for himself. Now his mother is too old to say all that much about how he spends the family fortune; he spends it as he sees fit. Unfortunately he does have to work around his brothers, but he manages his money almost untraceable and makes damn sure he makes a profit out of his investments. If that means he has to invest in piracy, all the better.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> Christoph has no feeling of loyalty what so ever and just as happily finances a legit as a pirated operation and has been known to play both sides of the field in the same year. This also makes him known to all sides and to all parties that these sides have negotiated with. He has been playing around like this for about ten years.

Generally intelligent, likes to see the glass half full. Tenacious, inventive.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> As a Highborn English tea drinking snob, the son of nobleman, Giles joined the Navy as a Midshipman aged 11 (a squeaker). He is in line to become Baronet of Colchester when his father finally pops his clogs. Right now, his father is causing all kinds of trouble in the House of Commons, speaking for the opposition about naval matters. Something for which he thinks he is qualified on account of his son. Giles suffers his father, and rather than making his progression up the ranks easier, his father's antics cause him to be viewed with suspicion - if the father is against the ruling party, surely the son must be etc. ? Giles, therefore, is only a Lieutenant when he is easily capable of being a Commander. He has also been sent to the god awful Caribbean to fight pirates when everyone knows that eight out of ten who come to the Caribbean are killed by the Yellow Jack (Yellow fever) rather than in ship to ship actions. Nevertheless, he is here, and he will do his duty. Lets just hope there is some decent wine to be found before too long. Preferably French wine, because while the Frenchies can't sail for spit, and have dubious personal hygiene, they seem to be able to squash grapes better than almost anyone.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong>

As such, he always keeps himself as covered as possible in the sunlight - he wears a hat to shield his eyes,&nbsp; and long sleeves even in hot weather - though he spends as much time as possible below-deck unless they're sailing at night. <br><br>Du'an is rather androgynous, and is rather short and slender for a man, being only about the height of an average woman. Not pleased with this, his shoes have high heels on them to elevate his height, and they click on the timbers as he walks. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Du'an takes no crap from anyone. As the boatswain, he is basically the supervisor or enforcer of the ship, making sure all of the peons perform their duties. His duties as Provost mean he's in charge of disciplining people on the ship when they don't obey orders or are misbehaving - something he seems to enjoy greatly.<br><br>The only person who might have seen beneath his mask is his younger brother, Ta'er. The two seem very close, though Du'an at times downplays this. Though they may wander here and there, Du'an and his brother always seem to come back together, and he is fiercely protective of him. He is a charismatic person, if somewhat manipulative towards his own gains. He's a fairly quiet person, and somewhat cold towards those whom he can't use.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Du'an says nothing about his life prior to becoming a pirate. He came from a rather meager background, but his gift of persuasion gets him everything he needs, and has enabled his traveling. When a pirate ship docked near him soon after he'd left his previous home, Du'an seized the opportunity to get on board, his brother following close behind him. He managed to use his gift of persuasion to rise to the position of Boatswain, even though he hadn't been there long.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> Don't make fun of his heels.

Melania as per picture. <strong>Melchor</strong> shares the same height and slender build, same warm brown eyes and dark hair. He keeps his hair swept back into a long ponytail, or otherwise braided. He keeps himself impeccably dressed, quite formal in his attire at all times.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Its hard to say is Melania herself even knows who she is. Having to live a dual life, she has had to make certain changes in herself. Melania has been repressed, and it is hard to say who she truly is. Melchior, however is known to be a true gentleman. If he has any vices, aside from secretly being a woman, none are known. He is a man of few words and quick action, intelligent and a man of the books. He is good at what he does, despite his youth. He is not known to drink, or whore, or even join in gambling. He is solitairey and asocial, but always available should his counsel be sought.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Melania was born as the only child to an apothecary and his wife. She was not a boy, so it was frowned upon that she should learn the skills and while she was not formally taught, she learned a great deal simply by assisting her father in his practice and his shop. Her mother died in child birth, as well as their son, devastating the family of two. Melania was uninterested in the advances of men, her desire for knowledge and love of medicine taking precedence. Her father's death, therefore, left her devastated and without a means for survival. The apothecary shop and their home was taken to pay for debts, and she was unable to hold land. In desperation she turned to the one thing she knew, even if it meant she would have to hide who she truly was.<br><br>Melchor Idoia signed on to a merchant vessel days after Melania disappeared. A skilled apothecary and a passable doctor, he was readily accepted onboard a vessel heading towards china to trade in teas and spices. The secret is carefully guarded, and has been for the last three years. Melchor lives the unassuming, quiet life, at least as much as he can sailing from port to port. He is known to be a gentleman, never engaging in vices such as drinking, or prostitution, or even gambling. Odd for a young man, but his skills are valuable enough that no one wishes to press it.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> If you haven't realized from the profile, Melania and Melchor are the same person ;) Woman masquerading as a man, in a mans world, on a mans ship. Oh dear.

Which is always. <br><strong>Nationality:</strong> French mother, Persian father<br><br><strong>Allegiance:</strong> To whomever supplies the grog<br><strong>Ship:</strong>&nbsp; The Dirty Secret<br><strong>Rank/Occupation:</strong> Navigator &amp; Captain<br><strong>Equipment:</strong> A flask of rum, compass, ink well and quill-pen. <br><strong>Weapons:</strong> A rapier with an Italian swept hilt, two daggers and a stiletto <br><br><strong>Description:</strong> Govad is tall and lean, he's stronger than he looks and is quick to catch the sun, his skin usually a sun-kissed olive unless he's landside for several months - when not on a ship, he wallows in any booze house that will take his coin, and rarely ventures out in daylight in that case which leaves him pale. Heavily battle scarred under his clothes, he has lost his left eye to shrapnel and his lover right leg to a shark, two fingers of his right hand in a sword fight. Every joint of his left hand seems strangely swollen and out of alignment and he cannot fist it, from when a cannon rolled over it. He has a knot of scars on his abdomen where he took a bullet, which is lodged in his lowest right rib.He wears gold hoops in his ears, five in one and three in the other, two tears where the matching ones belonged. There is an old, age-distorted brand on his left shoulder blade.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> When he's sober, Govad is restless, short tempered and savage. When drunk, he is no less feral but much more settled in his own skin. The only people he treats with respect are his captain and that is only farce. For all his wildness, he has a keen sense of direction and a mastery of maps that makes his almost mutinous attitude bearable. He is no coward, and will fight tooth and nail to defend the ship he is housed on - though asking him to go out of his way to save the crew is pushing it. <br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Govad was born to a slave girl in Constantinople, where he was raised to serve in kind. When he was ten, he was sold to another household and branded to mark him as property. The would, however, became infected and he fell into a fever, and the family simply dumped him on the street. He survived, and lived some time on the streets before finding his way to the docks and stowing away on a ship. For a year, he remained there, managing to remain undetected until the vessel was commandeered by a pirate crew. He was found shortly after, thanks to the greed of the captain demanding every nook of his new ship be explored for hidden wealth. <br><br>Govad's luck was in, and instead of being thrown overboard he was kept to lend help to the crew, doing the lowliest tasks. When he was sixteen, he was able to read maps and weather better than the written word. At eighteen he changed ship to escape the unwanted attentions of the ship's surgeon. At twenty-three when he was suspected of murdering the first mate, and escaped lynching by diving overboard. For three days he was adrift. It was then that he lost his lower leg to a shark, but was pulled to safety by a cargo vessel. He was roughly patched up and let off in the next port.<br><br>The misadventure had left him more feral than ever, and his bloodthirsty nature won him welcome on the most daring of ships. <br><br>He has been with his current crew for three years. Tension between himself and the captain was strained even before they set out, and the rest of the crew echoed Govad's frustration at the captain's over cautious plans. It was after the third cargo ship had escaped them that Govad lost his patience and slew the captain... which was more accident than he let the crew know. Killing his captain meant that he could never again be another crew member, for no captain would trust him not to insight another mutiny. Now, he was stuck.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> Can speak English (middling), French (fluent), Mandarin (poor) and Greek (fluent). Can't read in any. He is also a misogynistic, homophobic, racist rapist - but I am not. Please contact me if he does anything you, as a player, do not want to happen to your character.

He is lucky to have very light-colored, fine facial hair, making it easy to manage when his face should be bare.&nbsp; He's very, very convincing in his tone of voice in terms of playing male or female and has only a slight lump in his throat, versus something defined and obviously masculine.&nbsp; His lips are a little fuller than most males, though not so much that it kills his masculinity when dressing the part.&nbsp; He often keeps his hair tied up or back for both genders and usually wears a collar of some sort (generally a wide-strip of fabric or lace) to hide help hide his adam's apple.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> He's a tricky bastard and feels no remorse.&nbsp; He's a great liar who gets into his characters incredibly well.&nbsp; His switch personality allows him too be more dominant or submissive in different situations, though tends to be a bit more dominant in an actual relationship and 'non-business' sex.&nbsp; He normally only visits whore houses or other such establishments for one-night-stands; he can't be bothered with relationships, as they could be troublesome in his line of work.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Edgar was born to a small, well-off English family in a busy urban neighborhood.&nbsp; He was the youngest of three and grew up being teased for his tastes in toys and admirations.&nbsp; Even so young, he showed signs of his feminine physique and he loved to keep his hair long; he was often mistaken for a female.&nbsp; He was a clever, devious boy, and by the age of six, he decided to use such tastes and his appearance against others.<br><br>He began to steal clothing from sister or from the attic where her old things were kept.&nbsp; He stole makeup and perfumes, as well, and learned how to make himself up like a pretty, young girl.&nbsp; He would go to shops and feign that he'd lost his parents, practicing a feminine tone to perfect it.&nbsp; He conned many folk out of treats and toys to 'quiet' him and such, even managing to steal their wallets on occasion.&nbsp; He always dressed differently and went off to different areas where he wouldn't be recognized.&nbsp; The game he'd begun soon became an addiction.<br><br>As he grew, his skills built.&nbsp; He became very sneaky and learned how to use a dagger.&nbsp; He read about poisons and drugs, learned how to use them effectively.&nbsp; He even learned how to conn young women out of things -- including their virginities -- by perfecting his gentlemanly, innocent characters.&nbsp; He left home and school far earlier than he should have, but what he learned on the streets during his childhood was more than enough to keep food on his table.&nbsp; Outfitted as a doctor, he boarded a ship and began his long journey to the Carribeans.&nbsp; He arrived when he was seventeen and made his life bouncing between 'jobs' that always ended in seducing and thieving.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> He's very flexible, quick, and nimble, though severely lacks in strength.&nbsp; He's capable of breaking free of most any bond (be it shackles or rope) but couldn't land a good punch to save his life.&nbsp; He carries himself often as if he's subservient because it's easier to avoid stepping on toes, though he has no problem pulling leadership skills and an air of fierce dominance, if necessary.

(no bow unlike the picture)<br><strong>Description:</strong> She looks like the picture, except she has no bow, and instead has a rugged belt with a sword hanging on it, and she has Royal Navy insignias on her sleeves.<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Victoria likes adventures and acts like a tom-boy, a girl who prefer going into the action and getting her hands dirty, which isn't common in those times so she gets a lot of weird looks. She is usually friendly, but also very focused on her work. Because she's had such a difficult life, she tends to get angry easily if provoked, and has little tolerance for BS. She's always out to prove herself and as such trains regularly with her sword, and tries to always lead her men by her example.<br><strong>Biography:</strong> Victoria is the daughter of a royal family, a Count and Countess back in Wales, and her parents had everything set for her to marry another noble and live a boring life in luxury. But as soon as Victoria was a teenager she decided she would rather have a life of adventure and joined the Navy, over the objection of her family. Her parents disowned her, but she didn't care, living her dream out on the seas. She started her career as a navigation officer but quickly rose to the rank of lieutenant due to her skills and determination. Her presence on board was always a controversy, especially after she was promoted, but she eventually managed to get the respect of her men through her courage and determination. When the captain died from a freak accident, slipping on the deck and falling into a shark, she became captain and has been in command of the Enforcer for almost 6 months. The ship isn't due to return to her home port for several months and she doesn't know if the admirals will let her keep command of this ship, since there had been no female captain before in the Royal Navy. Right now she tries to focus on her task and wants to capture as many pirates and brigands that she can in order to prove her worth as captain.<br>

His smooth face, flat chest (bound down with bandages), and small hips make it easy for him to pass as a somewhat tall teenage boy, though the main crew of the ship know he was born a woman. <br><br>He usually smells of gunpowder, as being the master gunner means he's in charge of maintaining the munitions, cigar smoke, and rum. He has a mysterious scar on his throat, which seems like it was from a fairly serious wound. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Eddie smokes like a train and drinks like a fish, it's rare to see him without a cigar in his mouth or a bottle in his hand. <br><br>He cusses a blue streak and his voice is a bit rough from smoking, but sounds like a typical teenager's voice. He has a bit of a lewd personality and he frequently hits on&nbsp; pretty girls in bars and brothels. Most of them seem to find it amusing because he looks so young, but he does occasionally offend them and get a slap to the face. He's usually not deterred however.<br><br>He can be a nice, fun guy to be around unless you piss him off, in which case the fists will start flying. He's small, but he's scrappy and his lack of strength is made up for with his spirit. He brushes off injuries pretty quickly as long as they're not too serious, and even if they ARE serious, he tends to try and insist he's fine (even if he clearly isn't). He refuses to see doctors, period. If he's conscious he will fight it.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Eddie does not talk about his past beyond a couple of years ago. As such, he never tells anyone where he is from, how he came to be on the ship, et cetea. The furthest back he goes is maybe three years, when he mentions having gotten attacked "back home", mentioning the incident as the source of the scar on his neck. He doesn't go into detail, but says he 'took care of it'.<br><br>The only real clue about his past is the fact that he seems to be fluent in french, has a faint french accent, and his cursing is sprinkled with words like "merde" and "fils de pute".

A disciplined individual, he completes his tasks efficiently and expects those equal or lower in rank to himself to do the same. Usually of good humor and slow to take offense. Keeps a constant mental tally of debts owed and favors given.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> The eldest son of a retired Barbary pirate, he fell out of favor with his father and abruptly landed on a corsairs' ship at 15 doing scullery work. Lacking better recourse, he applied himself and became a full crewmember in due time. He served his captain faithfully for over ten years before the ship went down off the Moroccan coast.

His clothes are rather well-worn since he doesn't have the money to afford such frivolous things; a pair of black legging, somewhat tattered with the occasional sewn-together hole and a simple white shirt hang loosely on his body, again with several patched tears in the fabric. He does his best to keep everything clean to look good for potential customers, so he's never too dirty. His boots (http://www.costumesofnashua.com/CNWebSite105/Active905/Pages/Boots/PicBoot/BootsPLSpectator16.jpg) are the only thing he's overly fond of; bought for hi by a wealthy client (who will remain nameless always) he always looks after them.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> He has always had to be somewhat tough owing to his life on the streets. While not being rude, he's not shy of expressing his personal opinion, and he won't let himself be pushed around, regardless of who he's talking to. This stubborn streak can often get him in trouble, but he has a silver tongue when it comes to flattery and persuasion, meaning he can often get himself out of any bad situation he finds himself in; he always has his body to offer if all else fails, after all. He's very self-sufficient also, and prides himself on not needing anyone to help him through life. He works for everything he's ever had, and never takes charity from anyone.<br>Despite being a stubborn, outspoken boy, he is also very loyal to anyone who earns his trust; not easily given, but always valued once held. He's a good soul deep down, but he wouldn't be opposed to a spot of plunder and fun... If the payment was right.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> His life story is nothing unique in the docks. His mother was but one of many prostitutes who worked the streets at night, his father (she claimed) was one of the wealthy noblemen who lived further inland. Such a claim didn't sit well with the man however; a man who prided himself on his supposedly wonderful family, and his wife didn't approve of a simple whore casting such aspersions on her husband. Whether or not the claim was true was never known. Lucas' mother died during childbirth, leaving the boy to be raised by several of the woman's friends in and out of the brothel. It was a pleasant enough existence, save the occasional beating and unpleasant client; he grew up wise to the ways of the street and people, had enough money to avoid hunger and his appearance ensured he often received only wealthy clients.<br>Perhaps some would pity him for his upbringing and lack of opportunity, but Lucas has always been perfectly content with his lot in life; he enjoys sex, he enjoys being doted on as some clients do. He's far luckier than many boys his age as he well knows, so why would he want anything more?<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> --

They don't exactly hide their biological sex, but rather enjoy making a game out of it and seeing how long they can make people wonder. Their perception of themselves varies often, and as a result Capu is always changing their clothing style and wardrobe to match. It seems like the young person is constantly smiling with a mischievous twinkle in their blue eyes. Their hands are calloused and slightly rough from all the work they do with their hands. Capu is fairly short, standing around 5'4", and playfully makes jokes about their height at their own expense. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Capu is possibly the nicest pirate you'll ever meet. They'll do anything for a laugh - life is a big joke to them and they cannot abide by dullness or boredom. Nothing is ever half-assed or lazily done with them, and they throw themself into any work or play they do headfirst at full tilt. The almost boundless source of energy is infectious, and they have a way of making people smile. Of course, there's a serious side to them too - they wouldn't have survived on the seas very long if there wasn't. Quick-witted and streetwise, Capu does not let themselves be taken advantage of or mistreated and they stand up for themselves whenever it's deemed necessary.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Capucine Cervantes was born in England, to a doting couple of mixed heritage. The parents could barely keep up with their rambunctious child - one day she pretended to be a princess stuck in a castle, the next day he wanted to be a sailor in the Navy. It was only a matter of time before Capucine set off onto a ship as an apprentice carpenter, happily spending time on the neutral vessel before being lured in by the call of piracy.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> About the character's pronouns: since their gender identity changes like the wind, I'll be using different ones to refer to them in different scenes. Your character can refer to them however they like! It's not a big deal.<br><br>They love music, and are quite fond of playing their fiddle whenever they can get away with it.<br><br>Capu also brought a cat onto the ship - a black tomcat named Ocho who serves as the ship's mouser.

He's been a long-standing member of the pirate crew, but no one has been given the chance to get to know him particularly well owing to his lack of social skills (or unwillingness to share anything about himself). Despite this, he's shown a constant loyalty to the ship and her Captain; always doing as instructed much to his pleasure whenever such orders have been another's agony. There are rumors that he is quite possibly insane, owing to his habit of humming flighty tunes to himself while he works; those moments are when he seems the most serene, the most calm. <br>He loathes his routine being interrupted, his cleaning of implements and checking of any prisoners that happen to be in the brig. None have ever died on his watch, and he doesn't plan on having that change. Like-wise, he has a very secure personal space, and woe-betide anyone who dares enter it without permission. It hasn't happened yet, but Clive is somewhat paranoid; always checking on his dear 'children' (torture devices).<br>Overall, he is a reserved man, one can never tell what he's thinking... Which is perhaps a good thing, considering his vocation.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> His family were wealthy in London. Owning a large estate that spanned several acres, he was set to follow obediently in his father's footsteps as head of the household until the age of seventeen. He was groomed to be the perfect gentleman, having knowledge of fine art and poetry and many young ladies waiting to be accepted under his arm. There was nothing that hinted of the rather dark past times he indulged in when no one was looking his way. No one thought twice about male whores disappearing from the streets; they were casualties of the occupation and nothing more, and certainly no one would link such a fine young man to any dark dealings.<br>Unfortunately for Clive, a potential wife decided to follow him on one of many nights; she knew he vanished to mysterious places but had no idea as to where. She was simply curious and wanted to learn more about the seemingly perfect young man she wanted to marry... What she witnessed was enough to draw a scream from her lips and thus, the attention of the city watch.<br>Clive enjoyed the company of men. A questionable start to say the least, but his appetites were not fitting of a noble in his station. he was disgraced, was stripped of any prospects of inheriting his father's fortune and banished from the estate with but a small sample of coins to send him on his way.<br>He had to travel a good distance before people stopped knowing his name by looking at him. He came upon the coast and was attracted to the sea; the freedom to do as one wished, the freedom to indulge in whatever one wanted and suffer no repercussions. It wasn't long before he integrated himself with the regulars milling around the port towns; he was quiet, but attractive; a good combination. Eventually, he attracted the attention of a certain Captain; his bloody work being rather artistic, and he grew talented at ensuring none of his victims died under his gaze... A useful adition to any pirate ship, ad not one has he looked back since his admission.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> --

She has long dark hair with purple streaks she had placed in by a gypsy woman who also did tattoo work. Her eyes are a dark chocolate hue and her skin holds a darker tone showing her Spaniard/Asian Heritage. She is small in frame and tends to dress in pants that are held tight to her waist to accentuate her feminine form with a strip of leather hide and a long sleeved flowing white top that is missing all of its buttons save the middle five. A pair of light weight black mid calf boots that are loose enough around to conceal a weapon and tuck in her pants. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Tatianna is protective of her friends and loyal to her street family.

When she was five years old she was stolen away. Landing in Port Diablo, the boat was ready to load and unload and Tatianna found her chance to get away. Through sheer luck, small size, and a sailor who underestimated a child, she got away and ran off into the city. The streets were rough and she learned quick that you had to look out for yourself to survive. Screw the rest of the world. She stole what she could when she could just to keep food in her belly and clothes on her back. Many times the clothing was too small and too large in varying ranges. She looked very much the spitting image of a street urchin for most of her young life. Once she started developing Tatianna used her good looks and charm to get her way around. Men loved an exotic woman and many of the sailors who came into port were more than willing to spend a little time and a few coins on her. There was a lot that she did she wasn’t proud of but she never gave up her innocence completely to a dirty sailor (that’s not to say she never put her mouth to good use in anyway necessary that is). She got good at getting them drunk, slipping a bit of nightshade into their drink (just enough to knock them out), and robbing them blind. For all they knew they had spent it all on a wild night and then passed out. For the past 5 years she did this. Now she had to get out of that city. She’d done too many people the wrong way to stay around much longer. And since she’d killed one of the naval men for getting too handsy with her, she really had to get out. Death was not an option and slavery was out of question. She just had to find a boat to stowaway on. When the boys suggested the Dirty Secret, she was there.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong> Tatianna has a pair of twin brothers, Levi and Eli, that she calls her only family. She loves them as if they were blood and she’d do anything for them. Now that they were ready to get out, she was more than willing to go along with them.<br></span></span>

He's a savage looking man , well muscled and brutish. He is said to be able to lift an entire barrel of whiskey by himself and is generally his captain's first choice for helping move equipment around the ship. Benedict rarely smiles and not one for keeping up appearances despite the navy's strict clothing guidelines though that may be more to the difficultly of finding clothes for such a large figure in the Caribbean.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Despite his size , Ben Hammersmith is a relatively kind and gentle man. Especially when compared to the average person around him. Despite this , he is quick to fight but not out of hate or anger , he likes physical competition and finds it easier to start a fight then a game of a polo. The Muscular hammersmith isn't a man of romance but he has been known to get an urge or two like the rest of the people in the world and he has been known to pay begrudgingly for companionship when homesick. He holds no ill will against pirates in particular , they are merely his enemy due to his occupation.<br><br><strong>Biography:</strong> Benedict "Big Ben" Hammersmith was born in London , England. His father was a butcher, and his mother was a maid. He had a simple childhood though his family was far from rich and survived mostly off his father's discarded stock. Perhaps it was a steady diet of pork and beef products that lead to Benedict Hammersmith's unusual size , even as a child he was frequently the tallest adolescent for miles around and a victim of unjust ridicule because of it. Despite this , Benedict grew up with a sunny disposition and a love of his country , that lead him to the life of a seaman. In the English Navy , For the first time in his life Benedict began to see his height and size as an asset instead of hindrance. He found moving cannons around and transporting the crew's nourishment much easier then his average compatriot yet actually fitting inside the ship was made incredibly difficult by his height though he grew to accept the challenge.<br><br>As a naval officer , Mister Hammersmith has found peace and serenity at sea except for when in actual combat which he has rarely found himself in. Yet each time he has found himself in such a situation he has acted proudly and spiritedly as his country expected of him. Perhaps out of misguided patriotism or hardheadedness , Benedict hammersmith has no particular qualms taking the life of another combat in battle. Those who deny the greatness of the British Empire , are to be dispatched with and to do so for the British Empire is the greatest honor a man could receive in Benedict's eyes at least.<br><br><strong>Anything else:</strong><br>
