Psychology

Loyal * Manipulative * Curious * Stubborn * Clever * Reckless

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Harlianne was raised to be a pirate, and so, she acts like a pirate. She looks out for her own self interest, twisting words and manipulating individuals if needed to get what she desires. The difference between good and evil doesn't bother her, as she follows her own moral compass in order to determine right from wrong. However, Harlianne doesn't wish ill on the world. She isn't out for the pain of others. She's merely doing whatever it takes to survive, using her resourcefulness to solve any problem that comes across her. At the end of the day, she'll make the choice that keeps her alive--but she won't needlessly maim or injure.

Of course, she's also got healthy curiosity and a sense of adventure. She constantly yearns for excitement and brand new sights, never content with just staying still. The sea calls to her, with the new wonders it brings each day, allowing her to move and to be free. Harlianne is a restless soul to the bitter end.

Harlianne's weakness is her loyalty to her crew. She'd do anything for them. While she may be selfish, she won't do anything to jeopardize those underneath her command. It's part of her code, the Pirate's Code, that has been drilled into her since the very beginning. And lastly, it is indeed sometimes true that curiosity killed the cat. Harlianne continues to repeat that lesson time and time again.

History

Family History: Her father was a English Navy officer who came from a long line of military men. His father before him had been a commodore and his brother was a member of the armed forces, stationed in Virginia, one of the English colonies in North America. Her mother was the daughter of Christopher Monck, the Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica from 1687-1688. He was the Duke of Albemarle and with no other surviving children, her mother, Lady Elizabeth Arabella Catherine Monck, became the Duchess of Albemarle in 1688.

Behind Your Name: Harlianne's name was her mother's creation. Her first name is to honor Lady Elizabeth's childhood friend who died of yellow fever, Anne Harley. While Anne means Favor or Grace, Harley means From the Hare's Meadow. Her first middle name, Elizabeth, is after her mother. It means God of Plenty. Her second middle name, Winnifred, is after her father's mother, and means Reconciled or Blessed.

History: Harlianne James was born in Port Royal during its English occupancy, when five forts defended the port. Two years later in 1692, a massive Earthquake struck Port Royal, practically decimating the settlement. The disaster was speculated to be brought on by the wrath of God, perhaps as punishment for only outlawing piracy in the colony in 1687. Either way, Harlianne's parents perished as part of the settlement collapsed into the sea. The young girl survived by a miracle, as her nurse had stashed her away on a boat, allowing her to survive as the island partially collapsed.

Her small vessel, of course, meant she was alone for a full day. Pirates had come to loot the wreckage of Port Royal, and instead, they found the young girl in a boat, all alone. Her family crest was on her clothing, allowing the pirates to identify the infant by her Christian name. They took the child in, initially intending to hold her for ransom, but realized that her small size could be advantageous. Not only would the English government consent to sending in regular payments to ensure the wellbeing of the young Duchess of Albemarle, but a small kid would be good for thievery, crawling into spots that others couldn't.

She grew up aboard pirate vessels, getting her sea legs properly before she could really talk. The crew became her family and raised her as best as they could, teaching her the tricks of the trade, and ensuring that she'd never go hungry. It was an incredibly different upbringing than what her parents imagined for her. By the time she made it to adulthood, she was sailing under Calico Jack, working with famous pirates such as Anne Bonny. Unlike most of society, pirates didn't care what was between your legs--her sex didn't hold her back.

Two months ago, Harlianne acquired a vessel all of her own, and named it the Bellona. She has been branded physically as a pirate, with most English officers knowing her as Mad Eyes, and clueless as to her parentage. At any rate, she's aiming to make a name for herself as a captain, starting with completing the run for Mr. Alucard.

History

Family History: Her mother was a kind woman, and a scholar who loved learning about myths and history, much like her parents before her. Yet Elissa never got the chance to meet her, for the woman died when she was born. Her father was a member of the Dutch Navy, and her older brother worked as a farmhand. Her father worked hard to provide for the family, and so did her older brother, until one day the two of them disappeared, leaving Elissa alone.

Behind Your Name: She was named after her mother, who had died when she was born. Her mother was named after the ancient Greek woman Dido, Queen of Carthage, who had also been known as Elissa. The name means My God is bountiful, God of Plenty. Her middle name, Flora, comes from Roman mythology, and was the goddess of flowers.

History: Elissa's mother died before she was born, leaving her to grow up with her father and older brother Christian. She lived a happy life, with her father trying to provide for her to the best of his abilities, and her brother generally kept an eye on her, so she was never alone. When she was 5 years old, she was left home by herself one day, and she waited for her father and brother to come home. Yet they never came. It took two days before Elissa finally left her home and entered the streets. No one knew anything about her family, they just disappeared.

She met another young boy, one who took her under his wing and taught her how to survive on the streets of the town. His name was Trevor, and he helped to teach Elissa how to survive. He had some spare clothes that he loaned her, and she made the decision to cut her hair, and disguising herself as a young boy. She and Trevor worked hard, stealing from others and using the money to pay for food, water and shelter. She enjoyed her life, but when she turned 12, her life took another turn.

She and Trevor decided to start working as sailors on a ship that was looking for a crew. They joined up, and that life was good as well. They worked hard, and no one suspected that she was actually a girl. Their Captain was a kind man, and he taught them everything he knew about sailing, and Elissa looked up to him, he became like a father to her. Eventually, she told him the truth about her gender, and he did not mind, but told her to keep it a secret from the crew. As she aged, she and Trevor grew closer, and she eventually fell in love with him. However, when she was 16, the ship was attacked by pirates. They struck the ship, and Elissa was amazed at them. She got a look at their Captain, and noticed that something was familiar about him. It was her older brother, and Elissa tried to stop him, but it resulted in her get shot by him.

When she woke up, she was on the pirate ship. The Captain from her ship was there, and so was Trevor. They explained to her that they were joining the pirate crew in order to survive, and Elissa agreed. Her brother entered the room, and told her that their father had moved to the Caribbean, to work for the Navy there, and had abandoned him on his old naval vessel. He had turned to piracy to survive, and was amazed that she was still alive. For the next few years, she worked on his ship, and they sailed to the Caribbean, in hopes of finding their father.

They did run into him again, and it was because of this that kept her on the side of the pirates. Her father's ship appeared, and struck the pirate ship, and kept striking it. They boarded the vessel, and they went down fighting. Her father fought Christian, and she saw her father kill him. Soon, she saw everyone around her being struck down, and she eventually was brought aboard the naval vessel, for her hair had grown out and it was apparent that she was a woman. They dropped her off at the next dock, but right then and there she swore that she would get vengeance on him for what he had done, and she kept finding work as a sailor, joining up on any pirate ship she could think of. Hoping that she would get the chance to get revenge upon her father.

✿ Aravis Zacharia ✿
"A sneaky woman, kind of like me actually."

Elissa has known Aravis for a while, the two had met on the streets and grew kind of close to one another because of their skills in thievery. The two generally worked together, and have even lived in the same area as one another. Though Elissa still wishes to be at sea, she enjoys Aravis' company, at least until she could find another ship to join. Their ages being so close to one another has helped their friendship and Elissa likes the woman even though they do have their differences.

Psychology

Committed * Arrogant * Courageous * Stubborn * Creative * Opinionated

Sexuality: Hetero
Relationship Status:Married and was expecting a child.
Personality:
John Baynard comes from a lateral logical world of simple cause and effect. Everything happens for a reason and that which he cannot explain he leaves to his faith and in the hands of God. This had served him well in his professional career of medical diagnostics and treatment. He had proudly excelled at his studies where he began to realise he was quite smarter than the others. While somewhat lacking in social graces, his confidence, stature and reputable name made up for it.

He is a patient man capable of breaking problems down in his head and methodically sorting through it. A heavy thinker he rarely acts too rashly.
Committed to what ever he starts he will see it through to the end. Never content with being basic in skill or knowledge on a subject that he has given time, he will allocate his full devotion to it and seek it to understand it to its depths.

Life would be simple if it were only this way, but it's not. In moments of silence or stillness and in his dreams he romanticises about love and literature. Religion and philosophy. Those subjects of which there is no true answer. He dreams of the intangible that he could no sooner explain than control. That is his connection to the arts of literature.

As a boy he has always pushed and challenged himself. Believing to be an orphan raised in high society, he is thankful everyday and tried to prove himself / earn it.

Habits:
Nightly prayers.
Rolling his eyes.
Biting his fist when thinking.
Hobbies:
Literature
Chess
Fears:

• Snakes
• Heights
• Hell
• Never meeting his child

Likes:

• Fishing
• Chess
• Rowing
• Poetry
• Cooking
• Children

Dislikes:

• Rum (drunkenness)
• Orphanages
• Suffering
• Gambling
• Sacrilege
• Liars
• Pirates

History

Family History:
Mother: Anne Baynard-Deceased. Never met.
A British natural philosopher and model of piety.
Died of natural causes.

Father: Name Unknown.
Never met.
An Irish drunk and criminal. Probably dead.
Was in Anne's life for one passing night. Seemingly a soul to save he turned out to be rotten all the way through. Forcing himself on her and scaring her for life.

Grandfather:Edward Baynard Raised Jonathan after adopting him from the orphanage, soon after Annes death.
An English physician and poet.
Still alive and in London living in Ludgate hill.

Behind Your Name: Jonathan's first name was given to him by his grandfather when he was put up for adoption. An on the spot name probably conceived due to his recent dealing with a Sir Jon Floyer.
It wasn't until Jon was adopted did he get given his rightful family name. Still he thinks it an act of kindness that he forever holds dear.

History:
Conceived without love or permission. Jon's mother, Anne Baynard, was forced to hide her unwanted pregnancy out of shame and fear of the ramifications it would have on her status and families reputation.
While no easy choice, the trauma of that one night caused by a drunken forceful Irish man, proved too much for her. Jonathan was abandoned to an orphanage shortly after his birth. Until the age of 6 he grew up with many other loveless children in a cold strict environment where he learnt to be silent, obedient and God fearing.
Shortly after his sixth birthday his unknown mother passed away and his grandfather, consoling in his loss, came in to anonymously adopt his lost grandson. Jon still doesn't know they are actually family.

Jonathan was put into schooling and in return spent his spare time helping Edward around the house and occasionally joining him on his daily duties. Edward was a kind and caring foster parent. To this day Jonathan still considers himself blessed for being given such a kind parent figure. Edward taught Jonathan much, and Jonathan drank it in like an eager sponge. Life was good.

Jonathan went to school and studied hard. He never knew of the restrictions or perils of poverty, but he was raised well. Jonathan was compassionate, generous and charitable. Much like his mother. After basic schooling he followed in Edwards footsteps and became a licensed physician. During his young adult years he only held a few strong friendships that could withstand his often rash pleasantries and blunt honesty.

Of those people one of them was Sarah. A life long friend from a social level a few rungs below himself. That didn't matter. They were in love. Committed to one another they tied the knot and Jonathan got married. They had just began trying for a child when Jonathan left to embark on a trip to the Netherlands to visit the university of Leiden on behalf of Edward who had graduated there many years ago.

Jonathan would never made it to his destination though. Having opted for speed over safety, with an urgency to return home, he ended up on a ship that fell victim to piracy on his way to the Netherlands.

He still remembers that day vividly. His actions and decisions haunt him in his sleep. In the end only one person died out of a whole ship of twenty eight. Twenty six people carried on their journey, a bit shaken but alright. They even managed to hold onto their dignity and some of their belongings. Jonathan Baynard was not one of them. Twenty seven lives with goods valued at fifteen more, Jon had a debt of forty two sea faring souls to save before he would be set free.

He had traded his services for the lives of the others. Now he works somewhat willingly upon the vessel saving the very people who were ready to kill him. It was at a port in Spain that he and much of the crew were transferred across to a larger ship. From there they went further south as did his hopes of going home. They were attacked by a navy vessel and forced to flee.
While the altercation gave Jon much opportunity to recover his debt, their destination became clear.
Jonathan was going to the Caribbean.

☯ Millicent Clarke ☯
"Indesputibly a beautiful woman by many standards. It is no surprise that in her profession, with the looks and cunning she possesses, that she has raised to new heights of social grace. However I am left curious and questioning if that has been her only instrument in attaining her current position.
I wonder how far she would go to attain that wich she desires. My continued thoughts of her are purely of a righteous concerned nature. From the unusual injuries she attained, not only do I fear for her safety but also for those that cross her."

Relation Details:
Their paths first crossed at Jonathan's practice, late one stormy night long after he had closed shop. It was only coincidence he was still there. She had come in presenting some seriously threatening injuries. Presumably a lady of the night, seemingly with some wealthy benefactors, if not somewhat sadistic. But that was not uncommon of the upperclass to think they could buy and build poor whores and treat them as they like.

In his mind he silently whispered the Lord's Prayer, asking for the strength to treat this lovely woman without infection of carnal desires, to be able to touch her flesh with only the purest of thought and intentions, for the focus of his eyes to find only need and not the curves of her body.

With a solem sympathy and professionalism he treated and even talked to her, but when he questioned the nature of her injury he was met by an unnervingly calm and casually cold threat.
It perplexed him, for he had had his fair share of idle threats and violent disgruntled patients but she seemed far different. Dismissing it as dark humor for she seemed far to sweet to be serious, he still pried no further. Wanting to believe in his thoughts he gave her no opportunity to prove him wrong. The rest of his work was carried out in silence.

She left him with a faint chill in his spine and a worry in his heart for her future. Hopefully she could find some better company.

The next time they met Jonathon could not be sure it was her. It was an upperclass function some weeks after their first encounter. She looked vastly different dressed all prim and proper for the occasion. He thought little of it untill the the following day when the man she had escorted, a regular patient of Jon's, turned up dead.
The cause was unclear but Jon knew him to be a man of good health.
With suspicions high he sought to question the woman but he was never to see her again.

• Personal entries

  Is a sacrifice still righteous if after the moment of decision the conviction of ones actions are lost?
  
  It has been many days now since I was first taken captive and put into servitude. My count of passing moons has since been lost to the drudging torment awaiting at every turn.
  
  My hollow aching stomach turns with the sea. The presence of fever constantly lingers, not aided by the fact my clothes feel to be perpetually wet.
  I endure by giving as little of myself as possible, by just scraping by. By focusing on work when it presents itself, by imagining my rescue.
  
  At first I waited longingly to see a naval fleet on the distant horizon. The fruition and concomitant events that followed the safe arrival of all those who made the trip that I did not. An end to this humiliation, degradation and torture.
  
  But alas it has since been established, despite my first understandings and heaviest prayers, that I may most likely not see the shores of precious England again anytime soon, if ever.
  
  Realisation has now set upon me. It struck me in the heart like a diseased arrow carrying the truth of the matter. No longer does delusion hold with me the weight of the situation but I bare it all solely on my shoulders. The comfort of hope that once surrounded me has now died... And with it I fear a piece of my soul.
  
  I unwillingly overheard conversing regarding my worth, as if I am just some commodity to be traded. Most of the crew grows restless and seems eager to be done with this ship. As for my future, I no longer know what it may hold.
  
  I've come to realise that these ill-spoken simpletons lack any semblance of empathy or compassion.
  Void of empathy one has no reason for manners or other pleasantries. Mustered only in situations to suit primal desires, it is but a facade for these hollow empty godless vessels. Fallen so far from grace have they, their minds are corrupted beyond their own realisation.
  I now understand why the sea cries out in rage.
  
  For the first time ever I can not even say with confident certainty that my life rests in gods hands. For I fear that here in theses hellish waters, even God would not risk tarnishing his flesh with the filth that...
  No I cannot lose faith now.
  May god watch over me.

---

Psychology

Strategic * Prideful * Brave * Unrelenting * Creative * Stubborn

Sexuality: Pansexual (Closeted)
Relationship Status: Single; Formerly Betrothed
Personality: Incredibly brave and loyal, Aravis never suffers from a shortage of courage. Before stowing away to the Caribbean, Aravis was arrogant and egotistical, looking down on those who were not high on the social ladder. Overtly prideful, this almost reckless pretentiousness toned down quite considerably throughout her journey. While she still is a bit prideful, she no longer is the entirely self-centered person she once was.

Aravis can also be incredibly manipulative, able to analyze a situation quickly and make the best moves needed. However, she only does this if she believes it is for the greater good, never trying to actively cause harm to anyone. Aravis has become more cautious and considerate towards the impact of her actions on others. She has, essentially, become a hero, willing to put her life on the line for others.

That doesn't mean however that she's going to suffer fools. Confident and decisive, Aravis is a very firm and serious personality, getting everything done. She hates those who sit around all day, preferring herself to constantly be accomplishing things. Hard work is how she relaxes--that, or reading a good book. She loves stories.

Habits: Rolling her eyes; Prematurely judging others
Hobbies: Storytelling; Sword fighting
Fears:

• Arranged Marriage

History

Family History: Aravis' father held a management position at one of the local factories in Bombay run by the East India Trading Company. He was high up on the chain--as far up as an Indian man could be in a British company--and enjoyed a relatively decent position on the social ladder. He converted to Christianity in order to win further favor with the Company and married a half English, half Indian woman named Abigayle. The pair had a son, Divyansh, and then a few years later, they had Aravis. Her mother died giving birth to Aravis.

Aravis' step-mother, Parvati, was a merchant's daughter and used to a life of wealth. Her previous husband had died under mysterious circumstances, with Parvati rumored to have aided in his demise. Nothing was ever confirmed, however. They enjoyed a relative status of the Upper Middle Class, but the status only existed in India. If they were to travel to other parts of the English Empire, they would be treated as members of the lower class.

Behind Your Name: Aravis, strictly speaking, is the name of a mountain range. Her mother had always dreamt of traveling to France and climbing the Pointe d'Areu, one of the peaks in the Aravis mountain range. While Aravis originally was going to be named after a Hindi goddess, when her mother died in childbirth, her father gave her the name Aravis to honor her mother's memory. Tyra, while an Indian name, refers to a Scandinavian God of Battle and War.

History: Aravis was born on the Isle of Bombay, territory legally given to the East India Trading Company by the King of England. The Bombay presidency had been in England's possession since 1661, and became the Company's western headquarters in 1687. By the time Aravis was barely one year old, the factory had been well established on the island, and her father remarried after her mother's death.

Her childhood was relatively pleasant, during a so-called Golden Age for the Company in Bombay. She spent her time with her good friend, Lauressa, often playing at a nearby lake. And while Lauressa enjoyed gossiping and dreaming of marriage, Aravis would snap branches off of trees and pretend they were swords. She begged her brother, Divyansh, to teach her. He taught her a few basics, before leaving with the Company on a voyage, and perishing at sea.

It was a world where women were expected to be objects and where slavery was commonplace. For the most part, Aravis was unhindered by both of those aspects. That changed when her step-mother made plans to marry Aravis off at the tender age of thirteen to a man nearly fifty years her elder. Horrified and repulsed, Aravis demanded that her father stop the marriage, but he refused. She found no help from her family or her dear friend, who was more jealous that Aravis had already found a match, and she made a plan to end her own life. She saw no other way out.

In the middle of the night, Aravis made her way to the lake she had played by as a child. Determined to fill her pockets with stones, she believed that she saw her brother's reflection in the water, asking his sister to relent. Seeing him, whether it was real or illusion, inspired an idea in Aravis. There was nothing for her in Bombay--but ships left for locations all over the world each day.

Determined to escape, she disguised herself as a boy and stowed away on a ship. The Captain of the ship eventually caught her, but failing to see past her disguise, instead gave her ten lashes for stowing away. She exchanged services in order to remain on the ship and worked hard at menial tasks, such as mending clothing or scrubbing the deck.

Aravis eventually found passage all the way to Tortuga, where she finds the means to get through the day by thievery. While she dreams of traveling and adventure, surviving to see the next day is her primary goal. She can hardly afford a place to sleep, but to her, it's worth it. The Caribbean has more to offer her than an arranged marriage in Bombay ever could.

✿ Elissa Isley ✿
"We're two sides of the same coin."

Elissa and Aravis used to go into business together, stealing whatever they could to survive. They became good friends because of it and lived together in various crumbling shacks, barely scrapping by. Of course, Elissa's true love is the sea, so the pair only see each other whenever Elissa is between ships.

☠ Édouard Riviere ☠
"The man cost me a good mark."

Aravis had spotted a decent mark one evening in one of Tortuga's many pubs. Upper class wealthy types didn't often come by and this man was clearly out of place. And just as Aravis was about to swipe the man's coin, Édouard and his cronies showed up. They started a ballroom brawl and the man fled before Aravis could take anything from him. She went hungry for a few days because of his actions. And then, to make matters worse, one of his men had the nerve to call her a halfbreed mutt.

Character Summary

Name: Édouard Gautier Riviere
Aliases: Éd, Panier Percé, Joli Garçon, Le Chou
Age: 23
Birthday: January 17th, 1696
Nationality: French
Birth Place: Grenoble, France
Affiliations: France; La Fraternité du Sang
Gender: Male
Education: Private Tutors
Social Class: Gentry
Occupation: Member of La Fraternité du Sang
Languages: French, Italian

---

Appearance

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 12 Stone
Build: Muscular and lean
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dark Brown; Wild and Messy
Skin Tone: Tanned
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: French Flag Tattoo on his right upper arm encircled by the words Vive La France. Ship tattoo on his left upper arm. Three piercings on his left ear. Blood droplet tattoo on wrist, symbol of La Fraternité du Sang.
Personal Style: Édouard dresses to impress. He wants to look like the coolest thing that has ever been seen. He imagines himself as exuding confidence and inspiring all of those who look at him. This ends up practically meaning a lot of jewelry and leather, as well as plenty of black. He definitely has a bit of a gothic thing going on.

---

---

Psychology

Adventurous * Lazy * Endearing * Naive * Honest * Prideful

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Betrothed
Personality: While some may describe Édouard as being a French Paris Hilton with mafia connections, that doesn't do him justice. Certainly, he has the vanity and needs of one who grew up accustomed to riches, and the worth ethic of a person who never had to work. From the moment he was born, everything was handed to Édouard on a silver platter, and while this did cause him to become a bit pretentious, it also sheltered him. There's an innocence about him that some may find charming, as while he's an adult, he still has a bit of the mentality of a child. He's old, but he hasn't really grown.

This causes him to be a bit reckless, always wanting to go out and do something interesting. Édouard is constantly reevaluating himself and where he is, hoping to find something to take away the boredom. Anything that he deems to be work is thrown out, but if he thinks of it as an experience or an adventure, his attitude changes. Too innocent and kind to run the mafia, Édouard has been forced to grow up and mature from the apocalypse, as he's survived without a household full of servants to take care of his every need. In a way, he's like a child leaving home for the first time, and interacting with the real world.

History

Family History: Édouard's family is involved in organized crime, with the public appearance of being gentlemen in the gentry. They own vast amounts of property and enjoy a good deal of wealth, mostly derived from the drug trade. His father and mother had each been raised in the business. He has two older sisters, both of them ruthless and cunning, and hoping to gain control of La Fraternité du Sang. Their only obstacle is Édouard.

Behind Your Name: Édouard is a family name, meaning Wealthy Guardian.On his father's side, the eldest son was always named Édouard by tradition. His middle name, Gautier, is in honor of his mother's deceased brother and means Powerful Ruler. Neither of these descriptions are rather fitting for him, unfortunately.

History: Édouard enjoyed a relatively comfortable life in Southeastern France, living not too far from Italy. His parents were involved in la mafia française, trafficking all sorts of illicit goods. The youngest in the family with two older sisters, Édouard enjoyed all of the riches from the trade. He was given his own bodyguard and was taken care of by a household of servants and staff. The lifestyle he enjoyed earned him the nickname Joli Garçon, meaning Pretty Boy.

Édouard wasn't truly cut out for organized crime. Preferring parties and fine clothing to threats and underground networking, his parents groomed his sisters for running the business, and doted on leur petit prince instead. His parents tried in vain to educate him with private tutors, but those tutors hardly stood up for themselves and only taught Édouard subjects that he was interested in. Consequently, while he became fluent in Italian, he never learned to speak English.

His pampered life of luxury lent itself into a rebellious phase by the time he was 17, with Édouard getting multiple tattoos and piercings, in addition to his La Fraternité du Sang tattoo. He started to ask comme un gothique and his parents took this change positively, hoping to direct his attention towards the family business. They assigned him a small chapter to look over in Paris, hoping to groom him into taking over one day, much to his sisters' annoyance.

And while he did go to Paris, he fell in with another sort. He hired a man to teach him how to "swashbuckle" and threw away a small fortune on unneeded pleasures, as well as potentially fathering several illegitimate children. By the time he was twenty years old, Édouard was out of control and his parents were blind to it. His oldest sister, Alisanne, devised a plan. There were rumors of a flask containing ultimate power out in the Bermuda Triangle, and her little brother had always enjoyed the sea. She persuaded their parents to send Édouard to collect it and they agreed.

☯ Aravis Zacharia ☯
"Aravis...comme les montagnes?"

While Édouard may not remember what he did to Aravis, she certainly remembers. His boisterous and loud actions cost her a score and one of his men insulted the girl, using racial slurs and the like. The man is oblivious as to what happened to this day. It isn't uncommon for him to get glares from girls in pubs, so he pays it no attention. It just means they're jealous that he's already spoken for...right?

---

♡/☢/☠ Anastasia Ridgeway ♡/☢/☠
"Ah, oui! La belle femme qui a seulement neuf doigts!"

Édouard thought he was being rather clever and funny, bridging the language barrier by mocking Anastasia for her missing finger. He hit on her, using the most vulgar hand motions he could think of, and it didn't end well. Anastasia ended up clobbering the man, and to this day, he thinks of her as his most violent ex-lover...even though nothing happened.

---

♡ Sirena Ikaria ♡
"Mademoiselle Ikaria...Elle me manque toujours."

Sirena was one of the many women that Édouard found in one bar or another. Despite not speaking a language in common, he managed to get a few flirtations across and she responded in kind. One thing led to another and they ended up back in his quarters. He doesn't remember much of what happened that night, only that he woke up the next day with a massive headache and a bottle of rum near him. Suffice to say, he regrets deeply that he doesn't remember his night with Sirena.

---

✿ Millicent Clarke ✿
"Elle fait du bon travail."

A certain individual was getting in Édouard's way, when it came to obtaining the flask, and needed to be dealt with. The only issue was that Édouard himself couldn't get close to the man. He hired the Monarchs for the job and they sent the lovely Millicent. She took care of it and even revealed her true identity to him. She's a good ally and an apt translator.

History

Family History: Anastasia's family is well known in Ireland for its smuggling operations, sending illegal goods over to the Colonies. They control a small port in Dublin where they do their operations at, Anastasia's father is the current head of the Ridgeway gang which they operate outside of a small tavern in the port. Her father met her mother who was a prostitute, they eventually fell in love having two children Anastasia and her brother Aiden, being the eldest of the family. Her mother died shortly after giving ba few days later due to an infection.

Behind Your Name: Anastasia meaning, reborn in Greek which was given to her by her mother and her father gave her the middle name Hilde, which means battle in Norse. As she got older Anna was given the nickname Miss Mischief causing some problems with other gangs that were in Dublin. Her brother also called her that getting joy out of annoying and terrorizing her older brother, anyone who was working within the tavern that the gang worked out of. She also got the name Nine Fingers due to having one of her fingers cut off when she was younger, called by other pirates that know her personally.

History: Growing up Anastasia didn't act like most girls her age, she was one to get into a lot of fights and arguments with other people. When she was fifteen Anastasia got into a lot of trouble with a rival street gang, they ended up kidnapping her and chopped off her ring finger for ransom to her father. They didn't however last long when her father and a few members broke into the warehouse she was held in and killed them. Though that didn't seem to stop Anastasia from getting into trouble, she worked along her father over the years as she got older pickpocketing and stealing whatever her father needed her to.

Anastasia would occasionally look out at sea watching as the various ships were loaded and packed, leaving the port off to other places in the world. Having the sense of adventure she asked and tried to convince her father before finally relenting letting her go on one of the ships sailing out to the Caribbean. She worked on the ship for several weeks while there was a British Royal Navy ship that assumed that the cargo ship was a group of pirates, and they opened fire. No one on the ship survived but her, she was adrift on a piece of the ship for several days.

When she thought it was going to be her final day, a pirate ship moved over finding her and bringing her onboard near death she was eventually nursed back to health by the ship's doctor. For saving her life they offered her a job working as a deckhand on the ship, having nothing else and assumed that her family thought that she had died took the job offer. Anastasia worked on the pirate ship, being taught the Pirate Code, going onto raiding and scavenging parties making a some money and started to enjoy her new life working on the seas.

Once she finished her last job before leaving the ship and crew that took her in hearing the story of a mysterious flask and a reward for finding it, dropping her off at the Toruga Port looking for other work. As well as hitting up the bars and taverns there, getting into some bar fights from time to time. She now has just been really looking for any sort of ship and crew that would be willing to take her in, and get her share of the profits on finding the Flask and making some big money in the mean time.

Appearance

Height: 5'6"

Build: Slender
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Long, slightly wavy light blonde
Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Pierced ears
Personal Style: Sirena typically dresses in a style that allows for ease of mobility while still maintaining a feminine flair to it. She is often seen wearing an off-white ruffled blouse cinched with a belt, and she pairs this with black lace up pants and a pair of black boots. She is a fan of jewelry and is almost always seen wearing her siren pendant necklace. To complete her unique look, she wears her hair in intricate braids. The braids more often than not include cornrows along the sides of her head to pull her hair away from her face, while the rest of her hair is left only partially braided. See example. On “special occasions” she will grudgingly dress up in fancy dresses, get all dolled up, and wear those dreaded corsets. But said occasions are few and far between these days.

Psychology

Clever * Deceptive * Adventurous * Stubborn * Dauntless * Impudent

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single, and not ready to mingle
Personality:

Clever - "Quick to understand, learn, and devise or apply ideas; intelligent"
Deceptive - “Giving an appearance or impression different from the true one; misleading”
Adventurous - "Willing to take risks or to try out new methods, ideas, or experiences"
Stubborn - "Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so"
Dauntless - "Showing fearlessness and determination"
Impudent - "Marked by contemptuous or cocky boldness or disregard of others"

Sirena was named after the sirens of Greek mythology. It is befittingly really as she shares several similar qualities to them. She has this remarkable way of drawing people in through a combination of methods. For one, she is strikingly beautiful, and she knows this and uses it to her advantage. Her beauty is only enhanced by her boundless self-confidence. She gives people just enough of what they want to hear while maintaining an air of mystery that ultimately keeps people’s interest sated. And yet it seems that too often she uses her alluring nature to serve her own devices. Don’t let her allure fool you into thinking that she is not a dangerous woman. Too many have made that mistake and paid the consequences of her deception.

Her deceptive ways are an often times unfortunate but sometimes useful result of her skewed upbringing. Beyond that is a woman who fought hard to gain her freedom, and once she had it in her grasp, she would fight tooth and nail to keep it. She has always been adventurous, wanting new things and experiences that she for a long time could never have. No matter what life dealt her she would walk forward with her chin held high and her willpower unfazed. She will ultimately destroy anyone who stands in her way, and she will do it with a smile on her face.

Habits:

• Using her beauty to her advantage
• Braiding her hair

Hobbies:

• Singing
• Sketching

Fears:

• Arranged marriage
• Incapacitation
• Losing her freedom

Likes:

• Freedom
• The sea
• All forms of art
• Exploring
• Greek mythology
• Treasure
• Animals

Dislikes:

• Her old life
• Court etiquette
• Captivity
• Disrespect
• Most men

History

Family History: The Ikaria family consists of several generations of merchants, each becoming wealthier than those prior. Sirena’s family was quite well off financially, benefiting greatly from their affiliation with the East India Trading Company. Additionally, they maintained a strong presence in the eyes of the gentry and peers of London, England. Traditionally, the men of the family ran the business side, while the women upkept the family’s social standing by attending events of the ton and marrying into wealthy and influential families. Everything was done for the sake of becoming more profitable and furthering their place in society. The women of the family were often just as, if not more, influential and dangerous as the men were. These women infamously have an alluring nature and a knack for deceit. Sirena’s parents were no different from their forefathers, keeping to the traditions, both the good and the bad, wholeheartedly.

Behind Your Name: Sirena was named after the sirens of Greek mythology. They were beautiful yet mysterious creatures of the sea who used their enchanting voices and songs to lure nearby sailors to their deaths. Her middle name Kalliope fits perfectly with her given first name as it is the name of a Greek goddess of epic poetry and eloquence and means beautiful voice. Her name is befitting as she has many similar qualities to that of the sirens and is ultimately proficient at deceiving and luring in men.

History: Sirena Ikaria was born in London, England as the only child of a wealthy family of merchants who were affiliated with the East India Trading Company. Her father was the captain of his own ship and was often away from home due to his occupation. Occasionally, she was allowed to accompany her father, but more often than not she was stuck with her mother. Like the many generations of women before her, Sirena’s mother was a force to be reckoned with. While private tutors taught Sirena the common subjects, such as reading, writing, and math, her mother taught her the art of deception and seduction. Overtime and with lots of practice, she became quite proficient at deceiving people, luring in men, and gathering intelligence from them. This would prove rather useful in the future.

Throughout the years, Sirena was dragged to various events of the ton. She rubbed elbows with pompous peers and gentry alike to maintain the family name. She was also forced to discreetly use her newfound skills of deception and seduction on anyone deemed as being a potential partner or as simply having information pertinent to the family trade. She felt more like a well-trained slave than a beloved daughter. Her life truly wasn’t her own; it was whatever her mother wanted to make of it. She often found herself in precarious situations, at the mercy of powerful men who could destroy her in more ways than one. It ultimately hardened her and fueled her disliking and distrust of men. As she became older, arranged marriage became more and more inevitable. Under her mother’s control, freedom was basically nonexistent, and she did not expect her situation to be much different once she was married. She became increasingly more desperate to get away, and she would find freedom in possibly the most unlikely of places.

Sirena cherished the times she was allowed to accompany her father on his ship, no matter how few and far between those times were. She found a sense of freedom out on the open sea that nothing could compare to. She drank it all in, knowing that soon enough she would be forced back into her mother’s control. On one fateful voyage to Port Royal in the year 1712, she would take fate into her own hands and at last gain her freedom once and for all. Over the years, she had heard many tales about pirates, and while most talked about them with distaste or fear, she was forever intrigued. She envied their lifestyle. Sure, it was violent but it was free. Free from the nauseating intricacies and pomp of the ton. They made their own rules, and they were their own authorities. They answered to no one but themselves. That was the life she wanted more than anything, and she would do whatever it took to get it, no matter the cost.

One night while staying in Port Royal, she snuck away from the inn her and her father were staying in. She scoured the taverns until she found a pirate captain looking for new recruits. That’s when she met the man who could give her the life of freedom she wanted: Calico Jack. She knew it would be no simple task to be recruited for there were many things that did not work in her favor. For one, she was a woman in fine clothing. She was only nineteen years of age, and she was the daughter of a merchant affiliated with the despised East India Trading Company. She had to prove she had something to offer them, and that she did. She struck a deal with a pirate of all people. If he would take her in and teach her the ways of the pirates, she would give him all the information he needed to successfully take down her father’s ship and enjoy the spoils a merchant’s ship had to offer. She provided the route the ship would be taking, floorplans of the ship, and even the daily work schedule. Once the deal was struck, she went back to the inn and acted as if nothing had happened. And then she waited for the day that the pirates would ransack her father’s ship and take her away.

A pirate’s life became the only life for her. Over the years, her skills in the art of deception and seduction proved quite useful for the pirates. In exchange for her helpfulness, they taught her many new things. She faithfully served under Calico Jack for many years before she ventured onto a new adventure. When Harlianne acquired her own ship, the Bellona, and went in search of a mysterious flask, Sirena eagerly went along for the ride.

❦ ❅ Captain Harlianne James ❅ ❦
"She is like the sister I never had and never knew I wanted."

Sirena first met Harlianne the day her father's ship was ransacked by pirates and she was "taken" by them, as was the deal Sirena had made with the Captain Calico Jack. They bonded fairly quickly, being some of the few women aboard the ship and having similar likes and dislikes. Sirena always respected and looked up to Harlianne for her strength, courage, and tenacity in a world ruled by men. Sirena trusts her more than she has ever trusted anyone in her life. When Harlianne acquired her own ship, the Bellona, Sirena didn't hesitant to jump in on the adventure alongside her best friend.

☣ ☯ Édouard Riviere ☯ ☣
"The man is admittedly attractive, but his looks are outshone by his ignorance. He was captivated by my allure, and he played right into my hands."

Sirena found this man in a bar, and it wasn't hard to grab his attention and keep it, even with the language barrier between them. He flirted with her, and she acted as if she was interested. They flirted back and forth for awhile before he eventually took her back to his quarters. As soon as they were alone, she knocked him out with a bottle of rum to the head. She then stole a scroll from his quarters and switched it out with a fake before quickly escaping while the man was still unconscious.

---

✿ Anastasia Ridgeway ✿
"A friend of a friend is my friend I suppose."

The woman helped Sirena's captain and best friend Harlianne escape certain death, and for that Sirena is truly grateful. And she does respect the woman's strength, courage, and loyalty. However, she cannot help but be a tad bit cautious around the woman as Anastasia seems to be easily provoked and prone to using unnecessary violence.

History

Family History: By all accounts, Millicent's immediate family is dead. Killed off by the very people they counted on as allies. Their greed took matters too far and they had to pay the price. Millicent has a half-brother she knows nothing about from her Father's less than stellar actions. The only family she really has is Miss Constance, the Madame that looks after her like her own daughter, and The Monarchs, the assassin group that killed her parents and raised her to join their ranks.

Behind Your Name: Millicent doesn't remember much about her parents and she doesn't know what her name was before she was taken in by The Monarchs. She wasn't given a name for a bit in their care until she met Miss Constance. Miss Constance took a shine to the girl and took her in, giving her the name Millicent, after her own lost daughter. Her last name was one she picked up on her own. Rather than keeping the last name of the family she lost, she struck out on her own, paving the way for future Clarke's. That is...when she decides to get married and settled down, of course.

History: Millicent doesn't remember much of her mother and father. The bits and pieces that were shared with her were that they were a wealthy family who enjoyed the life of luxury and all it brought with it. They hosted parties, belittled their servants, and were prominent figures in the upper-class social circles. Unbeknownst to most, they rose through the ranks with their group The Monarchs. Though they didn't take part in the acts themselves, they employed The Monarchs to blackmail and, if the need arose, assassinate their targets. It was amazing that they were never caught, but money bought tongues as well as hands. However, they got too big for their britches and betrayed The Monarchs. Never shedding blood of an innocent, their target was a high member of the court who did nothing wrong. The political turmoil from that kill sent a huge wave throughout the city. Hoping to strike big from it, the family tried to mosey in, until The Monarchs got involved and took their pay in blood.

That left Millicent, only 5 years old at the time. Seeing as Millicent was innocent and not part of her family, the Monarchs didn't know what to do with her. One member suggested taking her in and training her in their ways. Not only would they get a young member to mold, but it would be an even bigger slap to the face of the family that betrayed them. However, they couldn't raise a little girl on their own while still doing their jobs. They had to find a suitable home for her. It couldn't be with an upper-class family, for fear they would recognize her. That is when they found Miss Constance. Miss Constance was a Madame in charge of a brothel. She had few ladies working for her. The Monarchs issued their plea to help them. Miss Constance took a liking to the young girl who reminded her of her lost daughter and took her in.

Miss Constance did her best in riding Millicent, giving her an education, the ability to read as well as write, horseback riding, and other subjects to give her a better chance. Miss Constance didn't want the life she led to be an influence, so she made it known to Millicent she was allowed to choose what she wanted. Millicent was caught between two sides. The Monarchs wanted her to become a member of their ranks and Miss Constance, a mother unlike any she had, wanted her to have a life of her own choosing. Millicent decided to have the best of both worlds.

Though against it, at first, Miss Constance soon saw the way men were attracted to Millicent and paid handsomely for her service, especially those of a higher standing. Millicent also made it known to The Monarchs that her profession allowed for to get into places otherwise off-limits to her and that would make it easier to carry out her contracts. Soon, Millicent donned the black mask of Lady Butterfly and set out to work to make a name for herself in the life she chose. Miss Constance need not know.

Millicent found her way to the Carribean for fun and profit. With the promise of men to seduce, secrets to uncover, and The Monarchs hoping to spread their reach to outside of England, she was sent on her way aboard a ship. Paid handsomely by the Monarchs, the ship allowed her to stay without much trouble. Plus, the men got to see a woman on board. They were ok with having a stowaway.

"The good doctor likes to ask a lot of questions. I'm going to need to keep an eye on him."

It's pretty easy in both her lines of work to get injured. She can't always be treated by Miss Constance or by The Monarchs, so she went to see Dr. Baynard, a well-respected upper-class doctor. However, the doctor seemed to like to question just where she got her injuries. A subtle threat with a sweet smile shut him down. He may question her, but he won't for long if he keeps it up. He's a good doctor, it would be a shame if something happened to him.

Millicent met Isaac during her hours as a lady of the night. She welcomed him into her room and the two spent the night together, only for it to be soured when Isaac stole money from her. Well, that just wouldn't do, would it? She chased him down before catching up to him, dagger in hand, threatening his life. He returned what he stole and Millicent forgave him? Why? He managed to steal more than just her money, but also her heart. He was brave, handsome, if a bit foolish. Somehow, the man grew on her.

Personal Style: Edgard is admittedly a fan of the opulent attire of the French court. He wants to stand out, having his prestige on display for all to see. However, he is willing to tone down the clothing made of fine silk, detailed embroidery, and encrusted with precious metals for the sake of practically. After all, he doesn’t want mere peasants to tarnish his finery. While on the job, he will be found wearing a black vest and a deep red, long-sleeved overcoat paired with gray trousers, sturdy black boots, and his black tricorn hat. Additionally, he wears a signet ring, which bears a dragon as his coat of arms, on the ring finger of his left hand, facing towards the palm to signify he is betrothed. As far as his hair goes, he is not a big fan of the powdered white wig trend going on, so he ditches the wig entirely and goes all natural. He maintains some facial hair but keeps it groomed so it doesn’t get too long and unkempt. See visual example of his personal style.

Psychology

Confident * Domineering * Resourceful * Manipulative * Brave * Violent

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Sorry ladies, he's betrothed ;)
Personality:

Confident - "Feeling or showing confidence in oneself; self-assured"
Domineering - “Assert one's will over another in an arrogant way"
Resourceful - "Having the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties"
Manipulative - "Characterized by unscrupulous [having or showing no moral principles; not honest or fair] control of a situation or person"
Brave - "People who are ready to face and endure danger or pain"
Violent - "Using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something" "Involving an unlawful exercise or exhibition of force"

Who is Edgard at heart? Are you sure you want to know? Well then, brace yourselves, for he is the Baron of Blood and Fire, Le Destructeur of the Weak. Edgard is many things, and compassionate is most certainly not one of them. He is greedy, power hungry, and bloodthirsty. He grew up with all the luxury one could ever desire, and yet it was never enough for him. He wants more money and more power, and he will utterly destroy anyone who stands in his way. Couple this with his other less than endearing qualities, and you have a recipe for disaster. He is exceedingly confident, to the point of being cocky more often than not. He has a knack for getting what he wants, whether that be through his sometimes-charming ways, through skillful manipulation, or through sheer brute force.

Edgard can be charming, particularly when he is in a good mood, but all too often he walks on a thin line between charm and fury. He can snap without a moment’s notice. His respect is often hard earned. But even if you have gained his respect, do not count on him not stabbing you in the back if a better option comes along. Pissing him off is a surefire way of getting yourself brutally attacked by him. The man is a loose cannon after all. And though he has the fortune and prestige to pay for someone to do his dirty work, he honestly revels in inflicting pain and suffering. That’s what makes him so much more dangerous. He is as ruthless as they come. All in all, he is truly a force to be reckoned with.

History

Family History: How did the Pyrbeest family get to where they are today? Through blood and fire. Edgard is a nobleman by birth and assumed the title of baron as a result of his lineage. The Pyrbeest family has long since been members of what is known as the Nobles of the Sword, the oldest class of nobility in France, dating as far back as the Middle Ages. It descended from the knightly class, whom owed military service to the crown and in return gained possession of feudal land. The Pyrbeests of today is still possession of land, known as a barony, with their fairly large estate located in Lyon, France. The family is just as if not more ruthless than their descendants in medieval France. And it should not be surprising that in more recent generations the family joined La Fraternité du Sang, an organized crime syndicate. The family’s ruthlessness, title, and subsequent wealth has helped them climb the ranks of the organization.

Behind Your Name: Edgard is a French variant of the Old English name Edgar. His given name roughly means fortunate and powerful. His middle name Guerrier is the French word for warrior. His full name is truly befitting and provides a glimpse of who he is, his walk in life, and the social standing of the Pyrbeest family as a whole.

History: Edgard was a terror of a child since birth, earning himself the nickname Le Destructeur (The Destroyer) at a young age. Living a privileged life as an only child with servants to grant his every whim and lots of space to cause trouble in certainly did not help matters. Such luxury only fueled his ego, and if he suddenly did not get what he wanted, he would lash out. Being exposed to the violence and bloodthirstiness of his family ultimately warped what was once a child's innocence into something incurably toxic. Nothing could stifle the ruthlessness that was in his blood, and nothing and no one would prevent the monster of a man that was to come.

He pushed his caretakers' boundaries to the limit. With a long standing fascination of fire, easy assess to weapons, and a violent temper, he was a menace in every sense of the word. He stole stuff, destroyed stuff, played with knives, played with fire, and manipulated people. Servants would always have to stay on their toes, as they were prime targets. After all, they were dispensable assets, so he could do whatever he wanted to them without any real consequences on his part. And oh how he grew to love the terror on their faces as they scrambled to prevent him from killing someone or setting the whole place ablaze.

As he grew older, his parents only helped him to hone that raw aggression, turning into something more "productive." They molded him into a true criminal, a true Pyrbeest. But even to Pyrbeest standards he was always extreme. When his training began for La Fraternité du Sang, he was an eager participant. He drank it all in and yet always wanted to be three steps ahead. He took a particular interest in the art of manipulation and torture. He had no qualms with causing pain and suffering. In fact, he reveled in it. The more pain he caused and destruction he left in his wake, the more powerful he felt.

His unflinching bravery and ruthlessness, acquired skillset, and family's wealth and social standing made him a significant asset to La Fraternité du Sang. He quickly caught the eye of the Riviere family, the leaders of La Fraternité du Sang. His parents managed to score an arranged marriage between Edgard and the eldest Riviere daughter, Alisanne. Honestly, Edgard wasn't thrilled about it as he wasn't a man to be tied down. However, once he begrudgingly got to know Alisanne, he quickly fell in love with her. The woman had an exceedingly ruthless nature that could match his own.

How did Edgard end up on Édouard's ship of all places? Well, let's just say that the future Baroness of Blood and Fire was in need of someone with his particular skillsets to handle a little pest that stood in her path to power. Considering he would benefit from this deal as her husband, he was more than happy to oblige.

"Elle est l'amour de ma vie que je ne m'attendais jamais à trouver."

Edgard's relationship with his fiancé Alisanne began with a little bit of a rocky start. He wasn't the least bit thrilled that his parents went behind his back and set up an arranged marriage for him. Once he begrudgingly got to know her, he found himself quickly falling in love with her. Her exceedingly ruthless nature matches his own. Man he loves her, and he would do just about anything for her.

☣ ☢ Édouard Riviere ☢ ☣
"L'homme est un imbécile. Il est indigne du pouvoir à sa portée."

Edgard has an interesting relationship with Édouard to say the least. He's the man's second in command, but he actually really doesn't like the man. He is truthfully jealous of the Éd's position of power in La Fraternité du Sang and feels he is truly unworthy of it. And yet Édouard could not be anymore oblivious to Edgard's true feelings.

History

Family History: Isaac's parents are dead. They left him on the streets at 5 years old because they couldn't take care of another child. When he was 12, he was taken to their home. It had been burned to the ground and his parents were found inside. He has an older brother named Michael who had aspirations of joining the Royal Navy. They last saw each other when Isaac was 14 and Michael was 15. Michael told Isaac that he would hunt him down should they ever meet again, as criminals must be detained at all costs.

Behind Your Name: Isaac chose to take on the surname of Armistead when his brother threatened his life. The name means "hermit" and he felt that would fit well being that he was alone. He felt that isolating himself in name, would help him isolate himself from the life his brother leads.

History: Isaac has fought for everything he has, and everything he wants. He doesn't let something like "morals" get in the way. He picked his first pocket at the age of 6. By 12 he was committing armed robbery. He would steal from the middle class for the most part. The high class knew better, and the low class had nothing of value. His mentor quickly taught him how to lower the guard of a woman however.

At 14 years old, he had learned to seduce both men and women with relative ease. They were mostly of the lower class to start with, but some had a few valuables in their homes he'd take with him. After his brother threatened his life, Isaac began to focus on the art of seducing people to get their guards down. This also became useful after his mentor taught him how to play cards. Of course, after a particularly good score, his mentor beat him unconscious and stole the goods and money from Isaac. Upons waking, a piece of paper lay beside him. It read: "I tried to tell you boy, no one can be trusted. Stay safe."

When he was 16 years old, he heard a rumor that a large shipment of spices and gold was coming into the port. When the ship arrived it was full of men, the sort of which he'd never seen. They appeared to be of the lower class, but they were comrades. This was something Isaac had never seen before. He followed their paths during the day until the men entered a tavern at night. It was there Isaac had his first glimpse of the pirate lifestyle.

When he turned 20, Isaac decided he was ready to try his hand at being a pirate. Thieving was a good way to stay off the streets, but there was far more to discover. Who knew what riches he could return with? He decided to befriend the pirates. He would go tavern hopping every night until he found one of them. Once he did, hed offer them a round of cards, and/or a drink and a chat. Eventually, he heard tales of adventures and treasures one could only imagine. So, he packed his bag, and began to search for a ship that would take him. Knowingly or not.

✿/♡Anastasia Ridgeway♡\✿
"I can always count on her to help me have a good time"

Isaac met Anna a few years back while partying with some of the pirates who had just come ashore. He was attracted to her because she seemed to fit in very well with his own lifestyle. The fact that she could take care of herself was a bit of a bonus too. She wasn't like Millicent though. Anna was more the kind of person always ready to fight by Isaac's side in a brawl they started for fun. Of course, what came after those brawls was always fun too

---

☯/☣ Sirena Kalliope Ikaria ☣\☯
"She was immune to my charms. I'll have to make sure she doesn't tell anyone before she comes around."

Isaac met Sirena while he was first trying to become a pirate. She was a year younger than he was, as well as very clearly more welathy than her was, and Isaac assumed that meant she'd be ignorant. He was wrong. She shot him down. Thankfully, few people had been around to see it. However, Isaac is petrified that she will reveal that he failed to charm her to someone he targets. She could become a liability if he doesn't find some way to get her on his side.

---

♡ Millicent Clarke ♡
"She was grace, she was beauty. The way she held that dagger as she threatened my life stirred emotions in me I've not felt often."

Isaac was immediately struck by Millicent's beauty. Why a woman who looked like that was out here alone he would never understand. He approached her in his usual way. After talking, he convinced her to take him back to her place. Of course, his intentions were for more than just a fun night. No one has ever been able to track Isaac down when he didn't want them to. But there she was, standing in front of him threatening his life if he didn't return her money. So of course he did. She agreed to let business stay business and leave the issue alone. He did however, find himself inexplicably attracted to her after that encounter.
