-Name: Lucretia Myerscough
-Age: 26
-Gender: Female

-Appearance: She is 6'1" tall. When fully equipped, she will have a cloak or coat, wide brimmed hat, and 1-3 harpoons or spears on her. If on land or needing a ranged weapon, she tends to prefer the reliability of a crossbow or bow over any sort of powder weapon.

-Personality: Polite, helpful, opinionated, highly curious, non-spiritual, well rounded and grounded

-Backstory: Despite being born into a family of mid ranking nobles, Lucretia always had an affinity for the outdoors. Luckily, as long as she was ladylike when company was over, her parents were not picky about her desire to explore, hunt, and learn falconry. In fact, it gave her father something to do in his free time as she was their only child. So, while it was all dresses, corsets, and curtsies at the parties, it all became trousers, tunics, bows, birds, and guns whenever she could slip away. With her two contrasting habits, her father and mother decided to get her tutors for all subjects. their reasoning was that she needed to be prepared for anything given her habits. Lucretia didn't complain about the extra work as it gave her the skills and knowledge to keep her own possessions in good shape as well as knowledge of academic areas she would have been denied otherwise. It also made her already impressive literacy better. Due to her capabilities, studies were easy for her to excel within while still offering her chances to keep honing her survival, hunting, and falconry skills.

Once she became an adult, Lucretia was up for marriage. Suitors came and saw the prim and proper side of her, but she never kept them from understanding her real personality. As such, they all tended to lose interest. Political marriage was not on her parents' minds as they were sitting comfortably in their status. As the suitors dwindled, Lucretia convinced her parents to let her leave and become and explorer on the condition that she write back as able to keep them privy of her adventures and to show she was still alive. She agreed immediately and gathered the supplies she needed. From that day, she wandered around, discovering relics, crumbling ruins, odd creatures, and found exotic locales. Until a few years ago, she stuck to the mainland, going to places others feared to tread due to superstitious reasons. Now, she ran out of rumors to explore in the area she operates within and looks for something past the coast. For a few years, Lucretia worked on merchant vessels or on exploratory ships. The dangers of the sea became well known to her, so once she felt experienced enough, Lucretia decided to set out to start or join a crew seeking to move deeper into the sea and find anything interesting.

Name: Eveyon (Last Name Omitted For Religious Reasons)
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Appearance: The most immediate aspect of Eveyon's appearance is his hair. Or, rather, the lack of it. He keeps his head shaved bald, in accordance with the faith of his homeland. Under the glittering scalp, his skin is a middling brown, and his eyes a striking black. He stands at 170 centimeters in height, and is deathly thin from long periods of fasting. His face he keeps solemn, again one of the duties of the priesthood, and tries best he can to convey no emotion.
Personality and Backstory: Eveyon was the son of a priest, and thus was raised within a priest's coven. Within its walls, he learned of the holy books and tenets associated with the faith, in the hopes that should his father pass, he would take his place tending to the parish. He clung to the faith, it being the only thing he knew, and internalized its teachings till he knew them front to back in his sleep. He has worked hard from youth maintaining the pristine reputation of his parish, keeping the holy days as well as the grounds of his father's temple. On his nineteenth birthday, his father, as well as the other priests, tasked him to leave home on pilgrimage to spread the faith. Immediately, he set out to do so, hopping on the first ship he could find heading for uncharted waters.

Classification: Explorer (and possibly Chaplain)

-Personality: Aguta is the motherly figure you never knew you needed. He is extremely overprotective towards his companions and is a little bit controlling over them but this is just the way he tries to show his love. He offers advice when needed and is always willing to listen to your problems and fears. Despite his loving tendencies to those he is close with he is introverted and prefers being alone then being with people, so at times it is best to leave him alone when needed. It is also good to be wary of him as his temper is extremely short, and when he loses it he can be both physically and mentally abusive, becoming a total three-sixty of his usual and true personality. Because of his anger issues he at time keeps people at arms length to avoid hurting them.

-Backstory: Born in the icy regions of Alaska Aguta is the son of an inuit priestess. Due to his white hair and multi colored eyes it was thought that Augta was blessed by the gods. Thus from an early age he was trained to become a priest. This went on until he was fifthteen, when his mental instability began to show. He would begin to lash out and to a degree even torture the people who visited the priestess hut. Realizing that he had not been blessed by the gods, but by the devil, the people of the village tried to prosecute him; including his mother. The rage and betrayal caused Augta to slaughter both his mother and three other men from his village before he snapped out of it. Feeling great shame for his deeds Aguta left the village and became a nomad.
Years later he would finally arrive at a port city that where he saw that a certain group of less than savory seafarers were looking for an extra hand. Wanting to forget his life on land Augta gladly accepted

Weasel

Weasel

-Name: Fredrick J. Johnston aka "Weasel"

-Age: 35 years old

-Gender: Male

Height: 5'7"

Body Type: Scarred, built but slim

Hair: Short, chocolate brown

-Backstory: Fredrick was born to the English, aristocratic Johnston family and personally hated the rich lifestyle. After the mysterious death of his parents, he was sent to an orphanage and was denied his inheritance until he came of age. At the age of 16, he received more than enough money from his inheritance to leave the orphanage and be the 'free man' that he had always dreamed of. He turned to a life of swaggering from brothel to tavern, drinking and gambling, and the many pleasures that he ever thought of.

In a short year or two, Fredrick found that he had little to no money left in his pocket and searched for paid work. He joined a ship as a privateer and immediately fell in love with being on a ship, sailing from place to place, even doing those pleasurable things he had done before - just not as much as he used to.

Eventually, Fredrick joined a Captain named James Rever and his crew and was promoted as First Mate within a couple of years sailing at the age of 28. Soon after, an unfamiliar cabin boy joined the crew and raised Fredrick's suspicions. Seven months later, the crew found the cabin boy to be a young lady. Not surprised, Fredrick condemned the young lady to death. As in the pirates code, any woman found aboard a ship is considered bad luck and thus, in Fredrick's consideration, is immediately condemned to death.

After the death of the young lady and the murder of Captain Rever, Fredrick dubbed himself 'Weasel' and the crew named him Captain.

At the age of 34, Weasel's crew committed mutiny against their captain and marooned him on an island. Fortunately, Weasel found a way back to civilization and seeks more work. Though, his biggest prize would be fame, fortune, and his name printed in the history books even after his death.

-Classification: Pirate

-Specialization: Quartermaster

-Other: Years after keelhauling the young lady all those years ago, he came across her - or her ghost - once again and was taken prisoner as revenge. The young lady, bound for eternity as captain of another ghost ship given to her by Davy Jones, showed Weasel what life he had taken away and what advantage she could have been as his crewmate. Weasel eventually fell in love with her and was given a silver key he wears around his neck, unknowing of when or if he'd see her again.

He also has a knack for singing and playing his accordion.
