I'm just listing all the important repeat characters I'm playing to keep things in order for when I reference them later on. It's easier then going back through the posts to try to remember names and personalities.

Barley Verton
Pirate Captain and Kristoph's main rival
Age: Approx. 38
A heavier set, shorter man with jet black short hair, a black bushy beard and murky brown eyes. His clothing is that of a typical Pirate Captain, with the embellished captains coat, white cotton shirt, blood red sash, black pants, and black silver buckle boots.
Has a short temper that especially short when things don't go his way. His crew is loyal to him out of fear, because on more than one occasion he's tossed a man overboard for even thinking about mutiny. If you're part of his crew, you're part of it for as long as you live. He likes to drink quite a bit and usually overindulges after a particularly good cargo capture.

Russel "Merk" Quinn
Engine Mechanic for the Silver Arrow
Age: Approx. 45
He wears a white cotton shirt like most pirates, but instead of the normal easy to move in pants that most pirates wear Merk opted to wear overalls because of all the tools he carries around with him. He also wears a brown leather tool belt around his waist that carries even more tools than the overalls. He almost always wears a pair of leather gloves to protect his hands from the steam of the steam engines that are inside of the main engine. He's got some scars on his arms from burns. He wears a pair of tall black heavy boots that have laces so that he can cut the laces if they get caught in the machinery.
A tall man with plenty of muscle from his time spent working on the engine. He towers over Kristoph by a good foot and a half. His hair color was once a light blond, but now days he keeps his head shaven due to him losing his hair, and also because of the heat he has to endure while working in the engine room. His eyes are a watery blue color.
Merk isn't exactly a pirate, but more the behind the scenes man. He is considered part of the crew but, Merk hasn't actually been in too many fights since he doesn't really like fighting due to his size. He thinks of himself as too big and bulky to be any good in anything other than a fist fight. He has a pretty calm personality since he needs to be able to think on his feet when things get heated and dangerous.
