Hope it's not too late to hop into this. I got all the sheets done. Let me know if anything needs changed. [hider=Mariana Escarabajo] [b]Name:[/b] Mariana Maquinilla Escarabajo [b]Alias/Nickname:[/b] Siren, The Siren, Witchmother [b]Group Name:[/b] Cult of the Siren [b]Culture:[/b] Spain (Caribbean Colonies) [b]Flag/Symbol:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Tu27tD9.jpg[/img] [b]Personal Ship:[/b] [i]The Serpentine[/i], Carrack - Fully Crewed [b]Reputation:[/b] Mariana is well known firstly for her connection to her aristocratic Spanish family living in Caribbean colonies. In more underground groups, though, Mariana is the recognized Prophet of the Cult of the Siren. [b]Wealth:[/b] High, distributed between a large amount of gold tithe and precious gemstones. [b]Background Type:[/b] Colonial Aristocrat [b]Background:[/b] Most delving into the ill fate of the ocean’s dark waters expect life on land to be much less exciting. When it comes to the life of the Aristocratic family of the Escarabajo lineage, things are anything but bland. Mariana was born into the famed family, but had little to do with their above board dealings. The family business was all dealt with by her brother and her father, but that didn’t mean the Escarabajo women were discounted altogether. While the modern dealings of the colonial business were dealt with above board, Mariana’s mother was a major player in a large secret society of sea witches that practiced in Caribbean ports. It wasn’t long into her life when Mariana was indoctrinated into the society as well, acting as an acolyte witch of the Children of the Seamother. The group is said to send whispering missionaries to various ports to convert and spread their word. The vile and ruthless practices of the witches tend to put off most, though. As she grew, Mariana developed well as one of the star students of the cult’s teachings. She was on track to be one of the society’s operators in her young adulthood, but things for the Children of the Seamother didn’t go as well as planned as the years ticked on. When tensions between colonial officers and the Children of the Seamother came to a head, a series of executions were slated to take place regarding the society’s high ranking members. Word has spread that Mariana’s name was on this list, and as far as records show, she was hanged along with a number of the other witches. In whispers around Caribbean ports, it is rumored that she has been spotted alive off the mainland, and that the Children of the Seamother now operates in a splinter sect. Feeling forsaken by her closest allies and family, Mariana reformed the lore behind the society, creating her own Cult of the Siren based around a different oceanic deity. When a number of ships disappeared only days after the execution, it is believed that a number of the Cult’s remaining members banded together to seek refuge in the seas. Mariana, embodying the deity she created, ‘The Siren’, leads the cultists in their quest for Salvation to new lands for widespread practice.[/hider] [hider=Cult of the Siren] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Tu27tD9.jpg[/img] [b]Organization Name:[/b] The Cult of the Siren [b]Reputation:[/b] The cultists are revered for their cunning and underhanded tactics. They are most commonly seen as a sneaking threat, never quite striking in a way that is expected. When they do find themselves in conflict, though, the cultists are no strangers to torture, execution, or mass murder. [b]Initial Contact Behavior:[/b] The Cult of the Siren’s fleet is unnervingly friendly, but firm in demands. [b]Typical Alignment:[/b] [i]Chaotic Neutral[/i] The Cultists tend to act with an eerie and intimidating calm. When provoked, however, they act with ruthless efficiency, fearing no bloodbath in the name of their deity. [b]Backstory:[/b] When the Cult of the Siren splintered from the remnants of the Children of the Seamother, a number of ships disappeared from Caribbean ports all in one mysterious strike on the night of the society’s Grand Witch executions. When the prophetic Siren called for a reformation of the Cult’s truest followers, Mariana took command and fled with the remnants of her organizations loyal followers. Now sailing towards uncharted territory, the Cult seeks to gain a foothold for their operations as an independent force to be reckoned with.
