				<div class="floatright"><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/FsSwBxR.jpg/200x300)<br></div></div><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Rosette de Courtenay</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><br><strong>Age:</strong> 28<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female <br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Pansexual<br><strong>Position:</strong> Captain<br><strong>Personality:</strong> The old Rose and her nemesis had always been somewhat of a counterbalance to one another. Sure, they were both fearless pirates who cared little for the law and for the rights of others, but they had distinctly different approaches to being the perfect pirate Captain. Rose was, and is, a stern leader, who will not hesitate to punish you for out of line. She's not entirely without compassion, although, like most women, she has to prove herself twice as hard just to be taken seriously and does not hesitate to make tough decisions and deal out punishment when it's due. She's pretty headstrong and won't easily change her mind once it's made up. There are, however, a select few who can talk reason into her. Add to that an endless thirst for adventure and a stubbornness that keeps her from ever giving up and you got the whole package. <br><br>Of course, the tragedy of her past has not left her unphased, and there will be the necessary brooding, the overreactions when someone hits a sore spot. On the surface Rose is a dauntless adventurer, but if you dig deeper, there's some unresolved issues there. How could there not be? But she painstakingly refuses to speak of what happened these past years, even to Mr. Scott, her trusted right hand man. <br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Most sailors will know the story of Rosette de Courtenay and Richard Morgan. She has become a story of lament in the years of her disappearance, a cautionary take as well. Once among the most notorious pirates to have ever sailed the seas, her legacy was one of mystery and sorrow. Until the day she returned. The people of Port Royal and beyond are filled with questions, curiosity and apprehension. But although the Esperanza is defiantly lying in the most infamous port of the Caribbean, she has barely shown herself as of yet, and only sent her First Mate, Mr. Liam Scott, to find a new crew for her ship. <br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> A fierce leader, skilled with the sword, can read, write and read maps. <br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Doesn't always know when to stop - definitely needs a voice of reason when she gets carried away. Can be hot headed but only with some very specific triggers. Clearly her past is still working against her, but she's strong-willed enough to keep that side of her suppressed. <br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Although Rose might have different things on her mind, she isn't necessarily opposed to blowing off steam. Despite her fairly dominant nature, she loves being overpowered, losing control for a little while. She's into rough sex, bondage, a little pain for pleasure and loves oral sex. Her heart, however, is a <em>very</em> closed door and she's unlikely to go sleeping around with her own crew. </span>

				<div class="floatright"><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/AnjIpk5.jpg)<br></div></div><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Liam Scott</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><br><strong>Age:</strong> 47<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male <br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Heterosexual<br><strong>Position:</strong> First Mate<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Calm, laid-back and with a no-nonsense attitude. He has no issue with making the tough decision and is loyal to a fault. Can be the voice of reason to those who need it. <br><strong>Background:</strong> Liam was part of the Esperanza's crew before the ship and its Captain went missing. Of everyone, he was likely the only one who dared call out Rose on what a terrible decision she was making. This would likely not have ended well for anyone else, but the Captain never acknowledged his words, and simply vanished. <br><br>Before becoming a pirate, Liam Scott was a hardworking son of a hardworking family. Fishermen who one day fell prey to a pirate invasion of their small seaside hometown, he was left an orphan at the age of thirteen. He got dragged on board and spent the following years as first a deck swab, later a powder monkey. Despite his initial aversion, eventually the pirate life grew on him, all the more when the very captain who had destroyed his home was himself killed by the Devil's Serpent, who took Liam aboard, where he slowly worked his way up the ranks. Years passed, and he became a more and more valuable asset to any Captain. Rose agreed, and the moment she gained control of her own ship, she approached the man and offered him a spot as her first mate. Other pirates laughed and mocked her audacity, but fell silent when Liam accepted. Seven years of prosperity ensued, which abruptly ended after they recovered the Santa Maria's treasure, and Richard Morgan took his dark revenge. <br><br>Left on land, with a mountain of treasure and no idea what to do with it, he did the only thing he could think of; he went back to fishing. Liam bought his own fishing boat and spent the next four years making a modest living off the coast of Saint Martin. It was here that he was ultimately found by Rose, who, without word or explanation about the past, asked him to rejoin her crew. Of course he accepted. Again. <br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Keeping calm, an excellent swordsman with a down to earth attitude. Has a great sense of humour. Has years and years of sailing experience under his belt and therefore has a lot of knowledge about the stars, the currents, the ways of sailing and all the old wives tales. Enjoys telling stories that may or may not be true. <br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Loyal to a fault. Can't see out of his right eye well. Can easily be swayed with good brandy or an egg and bacon breakfast. <br></span>

Not one to start a fight she is always the one to finish it. Extremely proud of her culinary skills she boasts she is the best chef on the seven seas. While usually one of the more passive members of the crew she does have a short fuse and you do not want to step in that kitchen without an invitation. Nancy at heart is also a secret romantic and dreams of being swept (litrally) of her feet.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Nancy's background is missing one or two minor details, from a very young age she was a slave wrapped with the only thing her parents left her. Her name. Luckily she was bought by a very kind elderly owner who had her learn the skills of a chef. As the years moved on,Nancy noticed how alone the gentleman was, how he would sign over photos of a little girl. The man became frailer and&nbsp; frailer, eventually as the man lay dying on his bed he told her the story of the picture. The little girl in the picture was none other that the famous Captain de Courtenay.<br><br>As part of the agreement for giving Nancy her freedom he made her promise to do anything in her power to find Rosette and pass on his remaining fortune and personal effects. Nancy made a solemn vow and spent the next few years chasing every myth and every sighting of the ghost captain. She had all but given up hope of ever keeping her promise when who should arrive in port,Rosette de Courtenay. <br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Cooking, fast knife work<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Reading and writing.<br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> A working Progress (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=272641.0)<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> It won't be until Nancy boards the ship and becomes a pirate that she will discover she also comes from a famous line of pirates.<br></span>

She loves music and is a gifted singer, though that is most likely due to her heritage. She dislikes restraint and can be rebellious, contentious and impulsive. <br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Lifa is the widow of the late Duke Frederick Canary of the Valverde Isles, who was killed during a mutiny onboard their ship, the Crescent Lark. Although she carries herself as a noblewoman, her high status was not one that she was born into. Before her marriage, she was a peasant. Her father was a plain fisherman who led a simple life. Her mother, however, was an Undine. Lifa inherited her mother’s ethereal beauty as well as a natural affinity for the sea and a smattering of unreliable abilities. She met Frederick on one of his many voyages across the vast oceans and the two fell deeply in love at a very young age. Even though it was unconventional and contrary to custom, Frederick married her despite her humble lineage. <br><br>They spent many happy years together, mostly aboard the Crescent Lark. But recently, tragedy struck. For reasons unknown to Lifa, the crew mutinied and killed Frederick. She managed to escape with the help of Nefsonne, a mute crewmember who did not partake in the mutiny.<br><br>Far from her home, with the threat of discovery hanging over her head, nursing a broken heart and fixated on vengeance, Lifa’s life has taken a drastic turn. She finds herself fallen on extremely hard times. After escaping with little more than her life and the clothes on her back, she is now faced with a level of poverty she had not even known when she was a mere fisherman’s daughter. She yearns to take back her lands, and her beloved ship but above all she wants to avenge her husband’s death. However, she, with help from the pragmatic Nefsonne who remains at her side, has been forced to face the fact that, in order to accomplish these goals she will first need the proper capital. <br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Keen, alluring and charismatic, Lifa uses these strengths to talk her way through most tough situations. If that fails, she is quick, agile and precise with a rapier. As a last effort she can occasionally tap in to her powers. <br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Naive, reckless, and entirely too trusting, Lifa often fails to look before she leaps. <br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> TBD, Lifa is currently still distraught following the death of her husband <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> She is classically trained in Fencing and Swordsmanship. Her time as a Privateer, under the tutelage of her late husband, has forged her into a rather well rounded sailor with a decent grasp on maritime knowledge. She can stand look out, navigate, read charts and has a good eye for weather. She has very slight weather manipulation powers inherited from her mother and a general immunity to Sirensong. Lastly, her agility, speed and handiness with a sword make her an excellent candidate for boarding parties, though whether she has what it takes to be a cold blooded killer remains to be seen.<br></span>

There isn’t anyone outside the East who has a chance of knowing about him or even recognizing his face. While Ryu isn’t fleeing from a dark past, he is trying to leave it behind. He felt that what he needed was a change of scenery, and so he ventured to the West, going from one merchant ship to the next working as a carpenter. Besides his secrets, Ryu is soft-spoken and rarely raises his voice. He is bold, and his confidence is often mistaken for arrogance. He knows himself better than anyone, and he knows what he is capable of. While he acts as a mere carpenter, there is much more to him than he lets on. Ryu doesn’t trust many people. He works for himself, and if the pay isn’t cutting it, then he will leave. His feelings aren’t easily hurt, but he doesn’t tolerate being disrespected for being Asian or treated like a slave. He also doesn’t tolerate anyone else being treated in such a manner in his presence.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Ryu was a Iga ninja employed by Tokugawa Ieyasu to guard Edo Castle and provide intelligence. Life was good until Hattori Hanzo handed command of the Iga unit to his son Hattori Masanari. The Iga rebelled due to maltreatment. Some went on to continue to serve the Tokugawa shogunate as musketeers and others <em>doshin</em> (police), but gradually, the secrets of the Iga-ryu started to fade. Ryu, once upon a time, was known as the Red Dragon. He always wore a red dragon mask when he worked for his lord and became a horror story among his enemies. He served until the rise of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi decreed that the samurai caste was to be codified as permanent and hereditary and that non-samurai were forbidden to carry weapons. Ryu refused to give up his weapons and was persecuted by the shogunate he once served. Ryu fled not only Japan but the East, taking with him the remaining secrets of the Iga-ryu. Upon sailing West aboard merchant ships, he learned other languages, notably English. He learned carpentry to make himself valuable to the ships he hitched a ride upon. As a carpenter, he was able to maintain a low profile, and for once, live for himself and not a lord.<br><br>The further he sailed, the more interesting the world became and the wider it seemed. Ryu wanted to see more, but he also wanted to keep getting paid. He learned about a crew seeking treasure, which wasn’t unusual. Most pirates searched for treasure and only few to none found it. Nonetheless, Ryu was curious and eager to go on another adventure. If it proved to be fruitless, then well, he would just leave.<br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Polygot (mostly Asian languages), Carpentry, Weapon Specialist, Ninjutsu, Ninja Tricks; Tough and Resilient.<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Distrusting; stubborn; refuses to use guns; won’t ask for help; and sometimes bites off more than he can chew.<br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> O/O (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=168823.0)<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> Across the expanse of Ryu’s back is a red dragon tattoo (https://i.imgur.com/VuIrt35.jpg). He knows a few extra things learned in the East such as herbal medicine and Asian cuisine. While his cooking skills wouldn’t warrant him as a cook, he does know how to do basic cooking such as grilling fish and boiling rice. Survival skills.<br></span>

				<div class="floatright"><div align="center">(https://i.ibb.co/85yD97M/esme1.jpg)<br></div></div><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Esmeralda ('Esme') Alcantara</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><br><strong>Age:</strong> 26<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Bi-sexual<br><strong>Face Claim:</strong> Jessica Parker Kennedy<br><strong>Position:</strong> Bard &amp; Fortune Teller<br><strong>Personality:</strong> There is a certain hubris within Esme, that lifts her chin a little higher than it should be, and makes her seem much taller than her 5ft 4inches. Full of wit, she loves conversation, especially the sound of her own voice as she enthusiastically spins tales or sings about the adventures of others. Yet she also loves to listen, in part so that she can ‘borrow’ the experiences of others to enrich her own tales, and in part to give her verbal ammunition using the secrets entrusted to her. A bitter-sweet concoction, she is capable of making herself seem to be the most caring, loyal and trustworthy friend and ally, but she is more likely to use that trust against you, or ultimately stab you in the back in order to fulfil her own gain. Ambitious to a fault, she refuses to submit herself to the life of a simple, brothel whore, only to die of syphilis or gods knows what else, in exchange for a few petty coins and slices of bread to fend off starvation. No, she'd much rather reach for stability, and the finer things in life above her current station and poorer status; no matter what the cost might be in order to achieve her ends. <br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Little is known about Esme's past, and what <em>is</em> known might not in fact be the truth. She claims to be of mixed Hispanic descent, though stories of her parents range from one Caribbean island, to the next. In most versions, her mother at least, is always depicted as a gypsy. She also claims to have been married at least once, but the profession of her so-called 'husband' paints him as a jack of all trades, ranging from physician to soldier to common sell sword. Most people can eventually piece together the facts and reach a more honest conclusion: That she is actually, little more than a common brothel whore of the port, who has savoured a range of men and women alike; though she prefers the term 'courtesan' in spite of the things she’ll willingly do for petty coin. No doubt in her youth, she may indeed have enjoyed the more luxurious life of a more expensive courtesan, until circumstances robbed her of the opportunity to progress upon that path. Unlike most of the other common whores, she is both literate and musically talented, which some might find intriguing. Where did she learn to read and write? How did she acquire and learn how to play her flute and small guitar? Questions she enjoys diverting with sugar-coated fibs that transcend the actual truth. <em>"My father was a nobleman,"</em> she might explain. <em>"My mother was his favoured whore. You’d never believe the gifts he showered upon her, just so that she would lift up her skirts."</em> <br><br>Of all her lies though, there are two constant truths which cannot be denied. Firstly, that Esme is no stranger to Port Royal, along with the various taverns it boasts along the docks. Under mysterious circumstances, she arrived at the central hub for trade and illegal dealings almost two years ago and became somewhat a permanent fixture over the months that followed. The bag of small gemstones and gold coins she arrived with, didn’t last long, and through a combination of theft and over-spending, she soon found herself destitute. Refusing to be sucked in to one of the many brothels though, where all manner of plague and syphilis are ripe; she instead managed to ply her trade as a tavern bard and fortune teller, but occasionally ‘needs must’ in order to survive, often rendering her a back-alley jade in desperate exchange for coin. Second of those two truths, is a little harder to come by in most company, but eventually it can become painfully obvious that she is also no stranger to life at sea…<br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Esme is <em>literate</em> and gifted with a <em>silver tongue</em>, enabling her to read and write letters, attempt to talk her way out of situations, talk people down from taking rash actions, or simply entertain people with fantastical stories and bawdy poems. As a very <em>sly</em> and <em>cunning</em> young woman, it can difficult to always know for sure if she always speaks the truth, as she's mastered the art of weaving intricate webs of lies. She is also very <em>musically gifted</em>, favouring both the flute and smaller guitar to enhance her more genuine love of entertaining people and generally livening up dull moods. Yet her 'gift of the gab' and musical abilities can also be used as tools of <em>distraction</em>, alongside her former profession as a common whore, wherein she understands the more illicit power of her <em>femininity</em> and how to use it in order to gain the advantage. What people don't however realise, whilst they're distracted by her voice or other parts, is her <em>sleight of hand</em>. No stranger to petty theft, a whore is prone to doing whatever must be done, after all, in order to survive against the odds. <br><br>As well as talking, Esme is a very keen <em>listener</em> and purposefully makes herself <em>approachable</em> to the needs of others. On the flip side, it also means that she harbours a lot of secrets and information from those that confide in her, which could in fact, be turned against them, if needed. Additionally, she enjoys telling people's fortunes by <em>reading palms, tea leaves</em> and her personal favourite: <em>Tarot Cards</em>. Again, though she claims that many of her predictions have come true, only the most gullible might fall for believing in such <em>superstition</em>. Finally, she has a general knowledge over how to implement <em>medicinal plants and herbs</em>, such as belladonna, for both damaging and advantageous effects alike. Not enough to provide intense medical aid, but certainly suitable to encourage better sleeping patterns, help with sea sickness, and generally numb various pains.<br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> In the heat of battle, Esme relies upon her <em>limited wits</em> to survive. She certainly knows how to pull the trigger of a handgun or pistol, but is her <em>aim</em> always sharp? Not quite... in fact, she's more prone to missing her target, then hitting it in the right spot out of pure luck. Likewise, she always carries a dagger upon her person to use in close combat when threatened, but against a sword or more proficient dagger-user, she'd be highly vulnerable. Similarly, she is easily overpowered by brute strength, and generally outmatched against the combat-savvy. It goes without saying that she would be pretty useless in a cannon-fire stalemate between two ships out at sea, and certainly wouldn't be rushing to defend the deck in those situations. Being only human, she’s not immune to poisons, and whilst she claims to have a basic knowledge of their uses, she wouldn't be able to detect them within a beverage. Speaking of beverages, Esme is particularly very fond of rum, but not particularly good at always knowing when to stop once she’s reached her limit. A looser tongue can be a dangerous thing, especially when secrets are far more prone to roll off it like idle gossip when suffering an intoxicated state of mind. Last but not least, as a highly materialistic woman, she is easily won over with trinkets and gifts, rather than completely empty promises. Pride and Greed are most certainly her main vices, followed by Lust, but only as a means to achieve her goals.<br><br><strong>Ons:</strong> Aside from the satisfaction of seeing her lover completely come undone and fulfilling some darker or more taboo desires as a more dominant lover, ultimately she likes to switch roles so that she can occasionally be the one to lose control. Also enjoys excessive flirting, denial, foreplay, use of sensory props, and teasing.<br><br><strong>Offs:</strong> Anything involving animals, vore, scat, rape, excessive pain or permanent damage.<br><br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> None. <br></span><br>

He loves to challenge authority though he greatly respects the Captain, he does not intend to be someone's stepping stool and he never backs down. He is a bit of a sarcastic smart ass even in when he is cornered in a tight spot. His smart mouth sometimes gets him into trouble and though he pretends to care little for the safety of others he secretly loves and values his friends. He is very loyal and is willing to put his life on the line for his captain and his shipmates. He hates to see cruel acts and reacts quite fiercely to those with bad intentions. Lawton can not help himself around women and is a notorious flirt though he knows when he is not wanted....but that rarely stops his advances for long..merely prolongs it until he can worm his way into the object of his affection's heart.<br><br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Lawton is a returning member of the old Esperanza's crew. <br><br>Born and raised on the streets Lawton was a part of a street urchin gang and quickly found that he was naturally very dexterous and was very skilled with throwing rocks being able to hit so accurately he was able to make a little money for his gang by putting on a show and taking bets that he could hit anything with top ranked precision. Wanting to help feed his friends Lawton hung around the seedier bars and taverns show casing his skills. It wasn't long before a captain saw his potential and taught Lawton the basics of Gunnery and everything he knew about cannons, fighting both on land and sea, but Lawton was a genius in projectiles and soon out classed everyone around him, with pistols, knives, arrows, guns and cannons even fists earning him the nickname "Dead-eye", if you need accuracy Lawton is your man. He was especially coveted by other ships because of his ability to keep from destroying a ship since pirates would rather disable and keep a prized ship than to destroy it. When he returned on year to share his riches he found that no one was left of his old gang. With a heavy heart he wandered from crew to crew until finally after many years out at sea he finally found a worthy and gorgeous Captain that he did not mind following behind. And for a time he was happy until tragedy struck his captain and her family leaving him stranded on land. <br><br>Lawton had no where else to go, no family no captain to follow and so he did what he always did when he was depressed. He drank, ran through many women and suckered many people out of their money with bets on knife throwing and fighting. It was a hard brawling life and Lawton got into his fair share of trouble but his silver tongue and a few greased palms always kept him from being put away for long. Most of his treasure was hidden away so he never had to worry about losing his wealth. Finally one day his lovely Captain Courtenay finally sought him out which of course he knew she would eventually would because who wouldn't want the world's best gunner on their ship??? Especially one who was so devilishly good looking and skilled with his tongue in more ways than one.....and because you know he did owe her many times over for saving his life by giving him a purpose.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Fighting on land and sea (Projectiles of any kind, brawling and sword-fighting), Sailing, Smooth Talker, Gifted Tactician, Pickpocket/Theft<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Not very literate, His smart mouth can get him in trouble, can be distracted by a beautiful woman<br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Loves rough sex, enjoys giving and receiving oral, enjoys power play, switching and teasing/denial, bondage, likes to dirty talk/flirt.<br><br>Only offs are no gore, animals and no bathroom stuff.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> <br></span>

Prone to lying (and stealing,) silver-tongued enough to reduce any punishment, and aggressive enough to scare folks twice her size, it'd be not abnormal for folks to label her <em>crazy.</em> Never subtle unless it benefits her, bluntness tends to be her forte - and with rumors abound in ports where she's wanted, there's some possibility she may be an outright killer, if not <em>serial</em> killer. Often fascinated with bodies, shiny things, and food, it's not uncommon for Finn to dive scalpel-first into anything she finds <em>interesting</em> enough. Internally, Finn feels like she was born into the wrong body - and perhaps that lends to her ability to intimidate and sow fear in folks triple her size. Regardless, she still daydreams of being six-foot-something and muscular enough to feel invincible.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Finn's never spoken much about her past, and often finds herself ousted from crews as quickly as she joins them. Some may consider her a bad luck charm, but really, Finn just makes the choices she wants - which often leads to <em>bad</em>. Spoiled as a child by rich parents - one a surgeon, the other a spice trader - Finn never found trouble she couldn't lie, cheat, or pay her way out of, even including her parents. Groomed from a young age to fit a certain mold, she instead bucked against those wishes and found comfort in the chaos she could sow. A resident in Clew Bay - an Irish gal through and through - Finn quickly realized that home would never be where her heart was. Well, what little of it was left, anyways. Stealing most of the jewelry and loose cash in the house, she left home to find her own way. Unfortunately, with a mouth as big as hers and a cold, disrespectful demeanor, it wasn't long before she found both trouble and adventure - things she sought, in all reality. After a local pirate to Clew Bay tried to force himself upon her, Finn realized the deep anatomical knowledge she possessed was useful for more than helping others. That night, a man died, and Finn took his place aboard the ship he once crewed, a willing replacement. There, she had countless opportunities to both save and kill - to feel the glimmering taste of what could only be pure, sadistic power - and in that crew she remained until an... extremely unfortunate situation arose in the Caribbean, where most of the crew was laid to waste ashore.<br><br>Obviously, she survived - and fled - knowing full well that she had, perhaps, caused that particular hammer of wrath to befall her old gang. Not on purpose - but as she'd told herself a thousand times, circumstances were often unavoidable and unforeseen. Bouncing from crew to crew, practicing her crafts and becoming just a tad wiser in the worst ways, she eventually found herself recruited to the Esperanza. Every ship needs a surgeon, after all, and what someone(s) doesn't know, probably won't kill them.<br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Lying, cheating, stealing, and stabbing. Great at playing the victim. Dexterous and quick, if not outright agile. Cold demeanor allows little emotional attachment (generally.) Not squeamish - and perhaps enjoys gore and other grim situations in ways she shouldn't.<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Physically frail if actually hit, not particularly the strongest. Never knows when to shut-up. Impulsive, even if cunning, she's more prone to charge head-first and sort it out on the fly. Too curious for her own good, and honestly? She eats <em>a lot.</em> Not being able to do so makes her quite cranky.<br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> just PM if you have questions.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> spoiler alert: totally a serial killer.<br></span>

He enjoys cooking hearty meals, doing physical labor, and working at his forge. Overall, he prefers being alone to the company of most people and is naturally very solitary. Although loyal to Frederick to the end, Nefsonne felt no sadness at his friend’s death due to his indifferent nature. He does however, find Lifa to be endearing, possibly because she is only half human, and will act in her defense. <br><br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Since he is mute, very little is known about Nefsonne. His name is simply a moniker that stuck with him over time presumably because of the crude symbols (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d0/Imageedit_15_4167222954.gif) carved into the antler that forms the handle of his dagger. He was a longtime friend of Duke Frederick and was the oldest and most loyal crewmember of the Crescent Lark.<br><br>Because of his large stature, Nefsonne is great for the hard labor involved in a sailor’s life. But because he does not speak, he works better in solitude. This is just as well since his role as a blacksmith usually requires minimal communication skills.<br><br>Despite his lower status, Frederick trusted Nefsonne even more than his First Mate, and always considered him a confidante. And so, Nefsonne was often employed as Lifa’s bodyguard whenever Frederick was away. At the time of the mutiny, Nefsonne, who had no part in it, though it is hard to know if he had any knowledge of it, had managed to save Lifa by killing the man who was going to kill her. The two then escaped on a small, damaged rowboat.<br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Nefsonne is physically very strong, with a high tolerance for pain, and a methodical mental acuity. He can take damage, let his opponents exhaust themselves and wait to strike back at the right time and without remorse.<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Cannot verbally communicate, has a soft spot for Lifa and for animals<br><br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Nefsonne’s indifference extends even to his sexuality. He is not one for courting or for romance, but he does occasionally feel the need for release. He is not an unkind lover, but nor is he particularly impassioned or affectionate. As long as his partner is willing, he is able. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> Nefsonne has a brawler fighting style and is skilled at bareknuckle boxing and hand to hand combat. He is no stranger to bladed weapons, though he lacks any particular training. </span>

Argus is always drunk. No one has ever seen him sober, and there are stories about what it would mean if ever he were sober. Being the ship's drunk (quite a feat among pirates) Argus is boisterous, rowdy, and almost always in a good mood. Argus also enjoys a bit of mischief, playing practical jokes, telling jokes often at other's expenses, and causing trouble for trouble's sake sometimes. An Irishman through and through Argus is always down to dance a jig, sing a song, and make general merriment. He also enjoys a good row, and will often start one whenever he feels the need to let loose. However, his love of a good time doesn't mean he doesn't get angry. When Argus looses his temper someone generally ends up with a broken something; an arm, a ship, a nose, whatever he can get his hands on. Then when his temper has passed he'll often ask if you'd like a drink (if you're still in one piece that is). Argus also possesses the gift of gab and is a rather charismatic character when he needs to try and talk his way out of trouble. It is this and his general good demeanor that allows most to put up with the drunkard and what he uses to get his crew mates to forgive his antics.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Argus was a member of the old Esperanza's crew. A loyal member who made sure everyone on board had enough rum, he was rather liked by many. He brews the best grog this side of the emerald isle and is more than happy to share t with the crew. His secret, or so he claims, is that long ago Argus challenged Sucellus, the Celtic god of alcohol, to a drinking contest. Argus says he won this drinking game, and as such was blessed by the god with an indestructible silver liver, and the god's secrets to distilling the best mountain dew. However, the life of a drunk is not an easy one. Argus took his cut of the treasure and spent it as any sensible man would, on booze, women, and more booze. As such he managed to spend, gamble, and simply lose most of his wealth in a rather short period of time. Not one to sit around and do nothing Argus felt the call of adventure once again, and as luck would have it managed to stumble into port just as his old captain reappeared and was looking for a crew. Looking to put his pirating skills to good use again, Argus reenlisted in Captain Courtenay's crew.<br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> incredibly strong, lucky, and quite hardy. He is also a master of the drunken master fighting style, putting his constant boozing to good use. He can turn anything in his hands into an effective weapon.<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Can be easily distracted, and not the best at making sound decisions. Argus often times manages to fall off of high places like the crows nest, the rigging, the deck of the ship. Also,&nbsp; DO&nbsp; NOT GIVE THIS MAN A GUN!! Trust me, it never ends well.<br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Depends on how drunk he is.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> Argus is actually half Tuatha Dé Danann, the descendants of&nbsp; the goddess Danu, known now as the fairies of Ireland. As such he has some magical abilities, though all he really uses them for are brawling and in his brewing. He has never seen much of a need to experiment with his abilities past those two things.<br><br>Argus has a deep seated hatred of the English, and an even stronger hatred of the Royal Navy.<br></span>

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>

Despite her meager upbringings, she found a way to enjoy anything and everything she wanted. Even if that meant she had to do some seedy work to get it. In fact, her life has always been one sly adventure after another. Cheeky and smart, she knows when to go with the flow and when to fight. She isn't shy in the least, bold, brash, and not one to take shit when she doesn't have too. She is passion; she is fire; she is that wild girl all wrapped up in a lovely package.<br><br>She embraces life and tends to not let the bad hold her back. Sometimes you fail or fall short of expectations, and sometimes life kicks you when your down. But it is what you do then that defines who you are. After all, a girl can have the time of her life if she just had the humph to make it happen. Underneath some may say she has a dangerous allure. Like she could take a bite of you but have you so sure that you liked it, you couldn't help but have her do it again.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Chiana Blackvail is the daughter of Dorian Blackvail a smuggler/pirate and Lillian Alexander a young debutante that had fallen in love with the bad boy of the sea. She'd run off with him after falling in love with the dashing captain. Leaving behind her life of luxury and trading it in for one of adventure. Their story was meant to be a wild but happy one, unfortunately, fate had other plans.<br><br>Lillian died during childbirth, leaving behind a beautiful baby girl and a very unsure father. Now, most would think that Dorian would give the child up. But he couldn't stand the idea of parting from her. This is how Chiana's very unorthodox upbringing began. You can only imagine the mayhem, confusion and utter hilarity that ensued throughout the following years. And though she never got to know her mother, Chiana loved the family she'd gained from the crew. It allowed her to grow up on the sea, playing in the rigging, learning to steal and fight with the best of them. She grew up learning all the worst habits a young lady could have. But what do you expect after being raised on a pirate ship?<br><br>But the rug was suddenly pulled out from under her when the ship got trapped in a freak storm. It tossed the ship around as if it were nothing but a dingy in a hurricane. That was all that Chiana recalls before waking up in the middle of the ocean floating on pieces of the ship. That day she'd lost everything, and for a short moment, she was content to give up as well. But it seemed the gods had other plans for her, as the Esperanza finally came upon her and pulled Chiana from her fate.<br><br>Chiana took the next several weeks at sea to heal, both mentally and physically. She also gotten to know the woman and the small crew that saved her life. Sharing her story Chiana found that they had heard of her father and his crew. And though some did not share her hope that they were alive, they agreed to allow her to stay. After all, she was a well-trained sailor with a collection of other useful skills. Born a pirate, they agreed that she should remain a pirate. Now at Port Royal Chiana jumps at the chance to help expand the crew and get back out to sea and to her next adventure. <br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong>Stealth, Picking pockets, picking locks, B and E, blending into a crowd, escape artist, appraisal, con-woman, acrobatics, running, light combat skills(relies heavily on speed and agility), skilled with daggers, reading people, <br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> not good with guns, rather hedonistic, impulsive, sticky fingers, tends to bite off more then she can chew, Illiterate, <br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong>my on's off's &nbsp;(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22100.msg859410#msg859410)<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> <br><br>Chiana believes that her father is still alive and hopes to one day find him and some of her lost family. <br><br>Her father is a known pirate.

He's not so much an introvert as someone who worries more about the written and spoken word than actual human interaction. When he talks about something that interests him he tends to speak quickly and over anyone else with him. His loyalty is hard earned but when given, it's for life.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Wes is the illegitimate elder son of the 8th Earl of Warwick, so while his father has given him a decent and somewhat privileged life, he knows he doesn't have any real standing. When Wes was born, his father's first wife had just passed and Arabelle, Wes' mother, rose in status as his father's favored courtesan. No one was surprised that his father took care of Wes, but what did surprise others was how he kept his bastard son around after his legitimate son, the future 9th Earl of Warwick, was born ten years later. Wes mostly stuck to his studies, his ease with languages and love for history allowing him to flourish at school. Wes was well liked by his peers and those of high society that frequented the Beauchamp estate.<br><br>Wes' family consisted of Arabelle, the cook and stable hand of the Beauchamp estate, their daughter, and his own younger sister - another illegitimate child for the Earl. He's had a few romances but nothing serious; however, he has shared a bed with both men and women and is open to experimentation.<br><br>Due to the age difference betweeen Wes and his younger half-brother, Edward, they didn't have anything in common and rarely interacted. Edward grew to resent Wes over the years, mostly because of his easy going and affable character. When the Earl fell ill, Edward blamed his brother and accused him of poisining the Earl for his own gains. After the Earl passed away, Edward's obsession grew and he became convinced that Wes wanted to take the Earldom from him.<br><br>After failing to plead his case to his brother and after several close attempts on his life, Wes left his beloved home, his grieving mother and sister, and vowed to make enough riches to take care of his small family.<br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> Highly intelligent, able to memorize and recite text with ease. A natural polyglot, languages are of a second nature to him and he's passably fluent in most of the European languages. He's recently learned sign language and finds it to be a rather interesting and cunning form of communication. Wes is a keen observer, when not buried in a book, and tends to pick up small nuances easily, as he feels the way a person moves/behaves is just another language. Because of his upbringing, he's able to fence well enough and could pick up proper sword fighting easily. He's also a great shot, having hunted from an early age and taken a bit of a liking to perfecting his marksmanship. He has a bad tendency to brush off things as he sees beneath him, including people. A bastard son he may be, but he still mingled with society's most elite.<br><br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Due to his rather sheltered life, he's a bit clueless on how the real world works. This includes interacting with others and the concept of money. He's been so focused on his studies, he's never had to actually work and it shows in his demeanor when asked to do anything physical.<br><br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Reia's Desires (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=130808)<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong><br><br>None at the moment.<br></span>

He speaks freely only to those he is familiar and comfortable with. He also tries to avoid fighting that he sees as pointless, but refuses to back down if he believes the pros outways the cons.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> Arvad was born to a father who was in the Royal Navy. The man was very strict and rigid, wanting his son to follow in his footsteps. He seemed to believe that since the Navy had been good for him, it would be good for Arvad. However, Arvad never liked the sound of it. Sure, he would like to travel and see other places and live on the sea, but the Navy sounded like he wouldn't even have time to enjoy it until he rose high enough in the ranks and that could take a decade. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;His father was incredibly persistent and forced Arvad to learn various things about the Royal Navy. Such as ranks, insignias, and flags. He always had a good memory for things he had seen but never really thought much of it until he was being taught to read maps. When he got home, he would draw any new maps he had seen to near perfection as a way to study at home. When his teacher found out he was ecstatic. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In secret, the two began a plan for him to become a cartographer. If he could get good enough to be apprenticed to a master, he could at least buy himself some years before his father could force him into the Navy. The teacher had told his father it was to make him more valuable to the Navy to keep him in safer areas. His father agreed that that would be for the best, not realizing the true goal.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When he was 20, he finished his apprenticeship. However, before his father could induct him into the Navy, Arvad ran away, escaping the city. He used his former master's contacts to take ships around the coast, helping to draw current maps for use by sailors and fishermen. However, when he was 28, his father, somehow, found him and intended to drag him back home. Arvad eluded him by sneaking onto a ship in the middle of the night, intent on slipping out before dawn, not knowing that this was The Esperanza. Nor did he know he had snuck onto a pirate ship.<br><br><strong>Strengths:</strong> photographic memory, strong work ethic<br><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> weak vision, semi-nonconfrontational<br><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Same as personal. Has some but not much experience.<br></span>
