Btw, would you mind writing for one more NPC? If only for the sake of me having someone to interact with

That's what they're there for. 

I can include it into my latest post, or you can run into one of your choosing during another post. Either way, you can pick from the remaining three.

And while I doubt we'll be getting into duels while on the ship, do be careful picking a fight with the NPCs: At least two of them are pretty damn dangerous deck-wise. I won't reveal which ones those are, however.
