Farack

First Mate - Hustler, Schemer, Salesman

Personality

Farack is a smooth-talking hustler with a knack for survival and a terrible sense of balance. He's always falling overboard, despite the fact that he cannot swim. He's charming, cocky, and always working an angle, whether it's a high-stakes gamble or talking his way out of a noose. He prefers to fight from a distance, using his razor-sharp throwing cards to take down enemies before they get too close.

  • Master of Deception - Once tricked a Navy Officer into paying his bar tab.
  • Accidental Black Market Boss - Started a thriving black market in one port by mistake.
  • Secret Crush - Secretly soft on Big Bertha, but too scared to admit it.

Fuyu

Cursed Relic Collector & Occult Enthusiast

Personality

Fuyu is a walking bad omen, and the crew hates it. She's mildly cursed, suspiciously lucky, and unnervingly comfortable with ghosts. She reads smutty books in public, throws hexes at enemies, and hides her pet snake in people's hammocks for fun. Whether she's actually a witch or just an agent of chaos, no one knowsโ€”and no one wants to ask.

Personality & Traits

  • ๐Ÿ‘ป Ghosts Love Her, The Crew Hates That - Things move around her. Shadows stretch. Candles flicker. It's not okay.
  • ๐Ÿ“– Reads Smut in the Crow's Nest - Loudly. Will read the spiciest excerpts just to make people uncomfortable.
  • ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ Throws Hexes at Enemies - They might be real. They might be fake. But people still get boils.
  • ๐Ÿ Has a Pet Snake Named Nagini - Loves hiding it in hammocks and under coats for fun.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฎ "Predicts the Future" - But only in the vaguest, most unhelpful way.

Backstory & Motivations

  • ๐Ÿ“œ Traded a King's Ransom for a Book That Just Insults Her - Still keeps it. It's too entertaining.
  • ๐Ÿ›‘ Banned from at Least Three Arcane Societies - For "taking things too far." No regrets.
  • ๐Ÿ“š Personal Goal: To Find the Black Library - The legendary archive of the world's most cursed books.

Signature Look & Equipment

  • ๐Ÿ–ค All-Black Clothing - Long flowing coat, fitted tunic, and fingerless glovesโ€”for maximum drama.
  • ๐Ÿ’€ A Bone Talisman That Glows When Danger is Near - Sometimes it whispers.
  • ๐Ÿ Nagini, Her Pet Snake - Usually coiled around her wrist or hidden in her coat.
  • ๐Ÿ“– A Leather-Bound "Spellbook" - Half spells, half smut. Refuses to explain.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Always Smells Like Incense & Old Books - The kind of scent that lingers, even after she leaves a room.

Extra Notes

  • The Crew Swears She's Unkillable - She once fell overboard in a storm and washed up before the ship docked.
  • Once Stared Down a Ghost Captain and Won - No one knows how. Even she seems surprised.
  • Her "Curses" Seem to Work...? - A guy she hexed did break out in boils two weeks later. Coincidence?
  • Once Gave Jimmy a Good Luck Charm - Somehow, it worked. The crew is terrified.

Big Bertha

Quartermaster โ€“ Keeps order & discipline, second-in-command

Personality

Big Bertha is an unstoppable force of nature, feared by enemies and fiercely protective of her crew. She's as tough as old leather, loud as a cannon blast, and strong enough to shatter bones with a single punch. But beneath the brawler's exterior, she has a soft spotโ€”especially for her ragtag pirate family. And Farack. Though she'd rather be marooned than admit it.

Personality & Traits

  • ๐Ÿ’ฅ Unstoppable Force - If there's a brawl, Bertha starts it and finishes it. She once punched a shark for getting too close to the ship.
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Fiercely Protective - The crew is her family. If anyone threatens them, they'll need a very good doctor.
  • ๐Ÿ— Loves to Eat - Her appetite is legendary. Whole barrels of rum and turkey legs the size of a man's head are just snacks.
  • โค๏ธ Secretly in Love with Farack - Leads to hilarious misunderstandings. When flustered, she punches walls. And tables. And sometimes people.
  • ๐Ÿ“ข Booming Voice - Loud enough to be heard over cannon fire. Can silence an entire tavern with a single shout.
  • ๐ŸŽถ Secret Talent: Singing - Has a shockingly beautiful singing voice, but she'd rather punch you than let you know.

Backstory & Motivations

  • ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ From Tavern Brawler to Pirate Queen - Once the most feared fighter in port town taverns, she arm-wrestled a pirate captain for his entire ship. And won.
  • โš–๏ธ Personal Code - Never hurts the weak. Bullies the bullies. Respects strength, loyalty, and a good drinking partner.

  • Has a Soft Spot for Animals - Would fight ten men to save a stray dog.
  • Swears Like a Sailor, Laughs Like a Thunderstorm - Her presence is as loud as her legend.
  • Once Wrestled a Bear (And Won) - The bear now respects her.

SoulSlayer

Ship's Cook & Amateur Blacksmith

Personality

SoulSlayer is a man possessed. Whether he's slow-roasting a perfect pork shoulder or forging a blade that could cut through a man's soul, he treats his craft with almost religious intensity. He looks like a monk, speaks like a philosopher, and fights like a demon with a meat cleaver. Insult his cooking? You might wake up with "Mercy" embedded in your hammock.

Personality & Traits

  • ๐Ÿ”ช Obsessive Perfectionist - If it's not perfect, it's worthless. This applies to food, knives, and killing people.
  • ๐Ÿ– Loves Pork Roasts to an Unhealthy Degree - Will monologue for hours about pork. If you don't listen, he takes it personally.
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Self-Taught Blacksmith - Forges homemade knives and swords, sometimes while cooking at the same time.
  • ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ Looks Like a Saint, Fights Like a Demon - Long black hair, thick beard, an almost holy presenceโ€”until he starts swinging a cleaver in battle.
  • ๐ŸŽญ Dramatic as Hell - Speaks in deep, philosophical metaphors about life, death, and the divinity of pork.

  • Sings While Cooking - His deep, haunting voice makes everything feel like a ritual.

Tezza

Navigator & (Terrible) Spy

Personality

Tezza is a walking paradox. She's the ship's navigator, yet she constantly gets lost. She's a spy, yet she immediately blows her cover. She has a strange, almost supernatural ability to make others believe she knows what she's doingโ€”even when she's holding the map upside down. The crew has stopped questioning it.

Personality & Traits

  • ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Legendary Sense of Misdirection - Not only does she get lost, but she convinces everyone else they're going the right way.
  • ๐Ÿ“œ Carries a Mapโ€ฆ Upside Down - Swears by her trusty map. It's always wrong.

  • Once Tricked an Enemy Fleet into Getting Lost - Entirely by accident.
  • Her Compass Is Always Spinning - She insists it's "just fine."

Saph

Gunner & Explosives Enthusiast

Personality

Saph is the walking definition of chaos. He loves explosions a little too muchโ€”to the point where the crew actively tries to hide the gunpowder from him. He's a complete wildcard, doing anything for a laugh, even if it means blowing up a governor's mansion (allegedly). Despite being wanted by three different navies, he has an infuriating habit of casually strolling into their ports like nothing's wrong.

Personality & Traits

  • ๐Ÿ’ฅ Loves Explosions Too Much - If something can explode, it will.
  • ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Once "Allegedly" Blew Up a Governor's Mansion - Claims it was "an accident." It was not.

  • The Crew Takes Bets on What He'll Blow Up Next - The ship is not an option.
  • Velvet Has Saved His Life Multiple Times - She deserves a raise.

Jimmy

Cabin Boy & Chaos Magnet

Personality

Jimmy is living proof that luck is real. He has no combat skills, no special talents, and absolutely no idea what he's doing. And yet, he keeps surviving. The crew alternates between protecting him and betting on what idiotic thing he'll do next. He's completely oblivious to how dangerous his life is, and somehow, that might be his greatest strength.

Personality & Traits

  • ๐Ÿคท Completely Oblivious - Doesn't understand half of what's going on, and somehow, that keeps him safe.
  • โš”๏ธ Accidentally Won a Duel Against an Admiral - No one, including Jimmy himself, knows how this happened.
  • ๐ŸŽฒ The Crew Bets on What Stupid Thing He'll Do Next - He has never disappointed them.

  • ๐Ÿ›ถ "Joined the Crew by Mistake" - Thought he was getting on a fishing boat. Now he's a pirate.
  • โš ๏ธ Once Set the Ship on Fire While Trying to Cook - The fire somehow missed all the gunpowder. SoulSlayer hasn't forgiven him.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Keeps Finding Treasure on Accident - Jimmy once tripped over a chest of gold. It just happens.
  • ๐Ÿ‘€ Personal Goal - He doesn't have one. He's just going with the flow.

Signature Look & Equipment

  • ๐Ÿ‘• Oversized Shirt & Patchy Pants - Looks like he borrowed clothes from five different people.
  • ๐Ÿ‘’ A Hat That's Too Big for Him - No one knows where he got it. Neither does he.
  • ๐Ÿ”ช Carries a Rusty Dagger He's Never Used - Somehow, this makes him even more dangerous.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Always Carrying Something He Shouldn't Be - Powder kegs, stolen maps, a cursed idol. He never realizes it.

  • Got Kidnapped by Mistake - His captors paid the crew to take him back.

Captain Lord Admiral Fancyboots III

Narrator & "Feared" Pirate Lord

Personality

Captain Fancyboots is absolutely convinced he is a living legend. He speaks in grand, dramatic monologues, turning even the most mundane moments into epic sagas. His crew is deeply concerned about his questionable leadership, terrible plans, and signature attackโ€”which never works. Despite his delusions, he somehow keeps surviving.

Personality & Traits

  • ๐Ÿ“– Narrates Even Minor Events as Grand Sagas - Will describe making tea like it's a battle against fate itself.
