[u][b]What's your name?[/b][/u]

[color=00aeef]Maryland Lenee Bannister[/color]

[u][b]Anything I could call you for short? [/b][/u]

[i][color=00aeef]Meryl[/color][/i]

[u][b]Out of interest, how old are you? [/b][/u]

[color=00aeef]27[/color]

[u][b]So what can you bring to my crew?[/b][/u] 

[color=00aeef]Extortion, Counterfeit, Bribery, Deception, Instigation- No, I’m joking really... I do speak a few of the native languages and have an affluent list of contacts and clientele myself. Did I mention I am one of the few around the here that is actually literate? I can plot a course and draw an accurate heading day or night. I’ll be paying my own way so I will cost you nothing.[/color]

[u][b]You got a picture of yourself? I need one for the documents. [/b][/u]

[u][b]So, what's your story? [/b][/u]

[color=00aeef]I grew up on these waters. Maybe you’ve heard of my Papa? Yes, him. Courtland Bannister? Do they really call him “the Mantle”? Yes, that’s true too, but he’s retired now, so to speak, so you shouldn’t have to worry about that. You see he never wanted to me to be a sailor and certainly not to become like these wistful whores you see down by docks. No, he taught me that the ship was not a romantic adventurer’s getaway or a criminal’s refuge. It was just another tool to make profits, a business. 

You see, the best ‘pirate’ is not the one who is the bravest or strongest or the best navigator: [i]It’s the one who can hold the money and protect the ship…[/i] and that’s where I come in. I can provide you a list of references if needed. I keep track of the little things so you don’t have to. Like the deckhand that that’s secretly pillaging your supplies or the first officer who’s skimming a little extra for himself on the side. I take care of that. 

How do I manage all that? Well, you’ll find my reputation precedes me and like I said, my services will cost you nothing. I understand you are looking for a crew. I also understand you’re looking for a particularly lucrative sum on your next outing and that is what interests me. I view you and your future crew as a bit of an investment and I take very special care of my investments.
