A Few Bad Men (or women)

This sounds pretty cool. Count me in.

Seven Angels, Seven curses

Sounds like lots of fun and could be great. Maybe with the end of times it's every Religion's end times or at least part of them competing. Not sure if that helps at all or is just a terrible suggestion but something like that.

What they said ^

Arturos smiled brightly and bowed toward Aria taking off his cap as he did so. This was the first time for him at least meeting his crew mates for this voyage. Standing up again he placed his helmet upon his head and said.

"Greetings Aria! I am Professor Arturos Ertines though my friends call me Arty a lot easier to say in a pinch and less of a tongue twister as well. Ah Braelv I remember my army days we marched through here it hasn't changed much eh still a one ship town."

Arty stepped back as Maithien approached and let him stamp and shout it was his ship after all and he could do just about as he pleased. He cocked his head as the little woman or was she just woman no most likely a dwarf stepped forward and in a huff at that. Arty listened intently to her and gave his new friend Aria a questioning and quizzical look. His head went from the dwarf to Maithien and to Aria in circuit and many times making his helmet flop aimlessly on his head. When she was done Arty tapped his cane on the deck a couple of times and stepped up next to her.

"Oh dear. I do not want to cause trouble myself sir but in a certain since the miss has a fair point. Brutish and very direct I should say but to the point none the less. Also all in all you are the fair Captain and us your crew but the uh.....excitement I missed everyone else seems a tad concerned. A slight explanation never hurt anyone.....almost always."

Arty flashed his even pearly whites again and hoped he had helped at least a little bit.

Book Recommendations

Okay so i'm going to plug a series here that I love and hopefully you'll like it. It's the Emberverse series also known as Novels of the Change by S. M. Stirling. There's currently 11 books in the series and the first being "Dies the Fire". The first two books are slightly sci-fi in the setting as the whole premise is that all power has suddenly stopped working no engines, no batteries, no steam powered engines, and also oh yeah guns don't work either. But by the third book it takes a twist into Neo-Fantasy and magic actually becomes a big force in the world. There is a big power dynamic that evolves through the books with four or five main factions and more being introduced in almost every book.

You meet an LGBT character in the first book but it isn't until the third and fourth that another LGBT character becomes a big part of the story and she's a really well rounded character. Lots of tragedy and roller coaster moments in the series as a whole. There is some romance in the series and it plays a big role but more in the interactions of other characters and how that effects power dynamics. The only thing is the author does tend to have some redundancy in his writing but nothing that is over obvious at least to me.

I hope this was somewhat helpful and i'm sorry if it's just me rambling.

Arturos had arrived on The Compass rather early and delighted in taking in his new surroundings. He went to his cabin to get acquainted with his new living space and promptly fell asleep sprawled over his bed. All through the confrontation Arturos slept like a baby dreaming of wild adventure and fighting off bandits or wild tribesmen with his cane. He gave a startled snort when a bellow from the fine Captain awoke him and he decided he should come up before they left the dock at least. Straightening his attire and adjusting his pith helmet he grabbed his trusty cane and somewhat bounded up onto the deck and gave a strangled startled snort for this surely was not the original port or was it.

"Ah my friends all is well! Is it? Ha ha indeed it is!"

Taking another quick glance affirmed that this was not where he had come aboard this fine ship and the lovely banner was gone too. He couldn't have been asleep for so long. Standing up straight he gave a pearly smile.

"Ah yes so off we are? To adventure!" He pointed his cane and stuck what he thought was a heroic pose.

"As it were is there anything I may attend to? Or possibly a bite to eat." He said to no one in general just hoping to strike a conversation and gain exactly where he was at the moment.
