She has two pistols, single-shot. [color=d5d5d5][b]Physical Description:[/b][/color] Amia has dark skin, like most Chartans, with curly, thick, uncontrollable hair. She cuts it short, to her ears, and it usually stays in one big pile on top of her head. She has big, chocolate brown eyes. Her body is marked with many scars from her past. She has marks from where a whip lashed against her back, and puffy marks around her wrists from being bound far too tightly for too long. Most prominently, she has a scar on her cheek about the size of a coin, and another on the back of her shoulder about the size of a hand, where she cut off her slave brands. [color=D5D5D5][b]Personality/Mental:[/b][/color] Ever since her escape, she has been determined to hold on to her freedom. She is warm and charismatic, despite not always having been that way. For a time in her past, she lost her faith in people. However, being with Avoir's crew has transformed her into more like the person she was supposed to be, in her mind. When she was a child, she was a natural leader with her friends; she was kind, intelligent, compassionate, and she took responsibility for her actions - and often theirs. She has regained many of these qualities, which she lost for a time to mindless fighting. She has regained her trust in people and her compassion for them. However, if she sees someone being treated unfairly, she would easily lash out. She also believes in a means-to-an-end mindset, if the end goal is good. [color=D5D5D5][b]History:[/b][/color] She was born in a small desert village in Charta, to a loving family with many other children around her age to play with. She lived there until she was twelve years old, when a slaver raid came through and took her among others in her village. For a few years, she was sold as a household servant in Charta City. When she was 15, another servant, a slave, who was living in the same quarters as her tried to rape her while he was drunk. She found him viciously and ended up killing him. After that, she became a "danger" as a servant and so she was sold to Charta's gladiator ring for almost no money. She started off training (as it wasn't a good show for the audience if she couldn't put up a bit of a fight before she was killed), but they didn't intend to train her very much, as she didn't have huge potential. She started with a sword and shield and she became a bit of an underdog. They started her at lower level fights and when they saw she had an actual aptitude for it, they began to actually train her. It was a vicious life for her, as she could die in any of those fights, but she lived through it. It made her harder, more closed off and indifferent. She didn't talk to her fellow fighters out of fear that she would have to kill them. Sometimes she did kill people who had lunch at the same table as she did only a day earlier. Eventually, another slave had planned and started a small uprising in an attempt to escape. During the turmoil, she ran. She cut off her slave markings in anger, cauterized them herself with a heated blade. It was still obvious that there had been slave markings there, but she didn't care. They were gone. Amia made for the coast, where she was able to get picked up on a vessel. She made her way to Chariot, dodging bounty hunters until she got there. Once she was there, she felt immense relief. She had finally succeeded. She met Avoir through a bar fight, ironically. After that, he offered her a place on his ship (he wasn't very prestigious yet). She didn't accept right away, but he slowly earned her trust as he came to visit her every time he stopped in Chariot. Eventually, she came aboard and learned to sail. The crew earned her trust, and she them. She started to feel like she belonged, like she was safe, and like she was herself again. Years later, she was appointed his First Mate. He put her in charge of The Valencia because the two trust each other unconditionally.[/hider] [color=000000]First Mate[/color] [color=D72600][b]Fujin Ayame[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]Sabotage[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]M, Endenic Samurai[/color][/i] [color=000000]Quartermaster[/color] [color=D72600][b]Galen Forthwith[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]POOHEAD189[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]M, Chartan Duelist[/color][/i] [color=000000]Cook[/color] [color=D72600][b]Sylvi Wulfharth[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]Sputnik[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]F, Valian Barbarian[/color][/i] [color=000000]Medic[/color] [color=D72600][b]Kossara MacConagh[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]ihinka[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]F, Healer/Shinobi, Reflection Isle[/color][/i] [color=000000]Navigator[/color] [color=D72600][b]Kerris Hughes[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]LadyTabris[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]F, Elsmerean Weather Mage[/color][/i] [color=000000]Lookout[/color] [color=D72600][b]Orm the Albino[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]BurningCold[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]M, Northern Shapeshifter[/color][/i] [color=000000]Sailors[/color] [color=D72600][b]Lucia Dorret[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]LordofthePies[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]F, Chorn Rogue/Archer[/color][/i] [color=D72600][b]Anastasia Celica Verula III (Celica the Enchantress)[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]SuperNova9000[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]F, Ivicis Hold, Enchantress/Swordswoman[/color][/i] [color=D72600][b]Isaak[/b][/color] [color=000000]||[/color] [u]CaptainCaptcha[/u] [color=000000]||[/color] [i][color=D5D5D5]M, Valian Mercenary[/color][/i] [color=000000]Passengers[/color] possible?

Her bronzed skin and green eyes combined with her auburn hair screams "Elsmere." She keeps her hair at shoulder-length. It is usually messy and knotted but she rarely ever ties it back. She is on the short side, even for an Elsmerean, at 5 feet tall. She is very thin but muscled, especially in her arms. She usually wears practical leggings and a light tunic, with sturdy boots. She has been occasionally seen to wear simple cotton dresses, but those are saved for special occasions or vacation time when she's at port, unlikely to have to climb or run. If she does run into that sort of situation, she'd likely just tear the skirt of her dress, as she's always prepared with boots underneath. [/color] [color=CFC605][b]Fɪɢʜᴛɪɴɢ Sᴛʏʟᴇ:[/b][/color] [color=D5D5D5]Magic is her primary weapon, but she is small and quick, so if she can't use magic, she relies on stealth. She usually carries a dagger with her for those sorts of situations. She's a very skilled climber and pickpocket. She is good with her magic, but as she is slightly on the powerful side, she needs to make sure she is using it often enough in small quantities to keep herself healthy and not a danger to those around her. [/color] [color=CFC605][b]Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ/Mᴇɴᴛᴀʟ:[/b][/color] [color=D5D5D5]First and foremost, Kerris is hardworking. She has worked all her life and sees no other way of living. She is dedicated to her family and making sure she sends enough money that her brothers and sister can live happily, and not as harshly as she had. She is an outgoing person, who makes friends easily despite being stern at times. She has always made good friends on the ships she's worked on. She takes her work seriously. She's always willing to go on another lucrative job for the chance that she could potentially send enough money back home that her family would never have to worry again. She misses them dearly and writes often. She loves the work she does on the ships, but is used to any kind of work, even dirtier jobs. However, the pirates' pay is the best she's ever received from any job, while she is with a capable crew, and she wants to keep that going for herself. She doesn't care much for the illegitimacy of the jobs; it isn't anywhere near the first illegal job she had done (though it was in a pirate crew that she killed her first man, so they did get a bit dirtier), and she is dedicated to it. She is very careful with her work, but when she isn't working she can get distracted easily, often by drinking. For a long time, she didn't drink at all and had no interest, but since joining the pirates, she has had a desire to fit in so she finds herself doing things she never thought she would before. Sometimes, they turn out to be enjoyable, and sometimes she finds herself feeling guilty. [/color] [color=CFC605][b]Hɪsᴛᴏʀʏ:[/b][/color][color=D5d5D5] Kerris was born into a poor family in Elsmere's capital city. Her mother died giving birth to her youngest sibling, out of 4, of which she was the eldest. After that, she joined her father in picking up any job anyone would pay them for in order to support the rest of the family. Because of this, she picked up a pretty diverse skillset. The first job she started doing was fruit gathering, a low-paying, high-risk job up in the thinnest branches of the trees. Many poor children take this job because it's easier when you're small. She kept the job for years when she was young, and this gave her muscles and helped her gain balance and agility. She picked up other jobs at the same time, and was working from dawn till dusk almost every day. She ran deliveries, letters, even worked as an assistant for a local blacksmith at times. She spent a month working in bridge repair after a huge flood. When she was a little older, she got a job on one of the fishing boats that travel up and down the river. That was how she learned to sail, and from there she kept sailing and kept sending money back to her family. From there, she worked her way up the ships. She got a better job on the ocean with her experience, where she worked her way up to working with maps and currents. Her magic started to manifest when she was 15. Kerris had a habit of accidentally shocking people who startled her, luckily never fatally. She was working on that ship at the time, and the people on board had come to care for and like her. Her friend, the navigator she had been learning from, who wasn't a mage but had known some others who could perhaps teach her, arranged for her to be dropped off to the south. She traveled from there, east, to Lybertay. After that, she found the inn she had been told to find and dropped the navigator's name. The people there helped her get passage on a pirate vessel. When she arrived on Chariot, she knew that her family had gone a fair bit of time without her income. She was starting to become concerned that they wouldn't be well enough off. She kept very little of her wages, so it was a significant amount of money for a poor family. She set off trying to find the man whom she was told could teach her to use her magic. By this time, she had started to get a feel for the river being in her head and she had taught herself a bit of basic self-control on holding the magic back. She couldn't direct it purposefully in any way, and in times of distraction, her control could easily lapse. The ship she was searching for, the [i]Justice[/i], came into port not long after she arrived. However, when she approached the navigator, he turned her away. He already had an apprentice, he said, and the man was coming along nicely. After this, she had to set out on her own. She took a few odd jobs in Chariot the way she had learned to as a child to live, and a few months later, she finally met a weather mage who would take her on as an apprentice. The ship was named the [i]Swan's Wail[/i]. She stayed on the swan's wail for many years while she learned. She turned out to be just above average in terms of power level, nothing unusual, but very able to help a ship along. Because she was actually more powerful than her teacher, she later outshined him and gained a position on an even bigger, well-known vessel, which she helped achieve a lot of success at their raiding. She always sent her money back to her family, except a small sum for herself. By the time of the pirate wars, she had made enough of a name for herself to be noticed by Avoir when selecting his crew.[/color] [/center][color=CFC605][b]Iɴᴠᴇɴᴛᴏʀʏ:[/b][/color] [color=D5D5D5][list] [*]Steel Dagger [*]Simple clothes, sturdy boots.
