Delilah Laxen

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Personality: Ever focused on the task at hand, Delilah runs Great Aquarius like the business it is. Strongly suited to negotiations and business ventures over combat, she is reliable with preparations and contract management from the various establishments cropping up in the major cities. Some often state that she is not the true voice of authority on the ship and even though she dislikes such rumors it is hard to disagree. Her power over the crew is rooted in last name and the connection to the free cities where many call home, allowing Izal to make military decisions with absolute authority trusting the former captain to know best when battle is met.

History: Born as the heiress to the Free cities of her namesake, Delilah was pushed to study anything that was deemed necessary by her father to best help her seize and maintain power when at last he passed on. Her father was a strict man of many lessons revolving around the cities upkeep, military might, collection of taxes, and controlling the militia. All of this meant being treated like a chess piece to young Delilah, resenting being a prisoner to her father more than the hostile seas she'd learned about.

After an incident of infidelity between her and her father Dario, Delilah fled the estate under the cover of night on the first ship bound for the sea. Nearly three weeks disguised as just another nameless shipmate and she'd assumed all was clear. As it turned out, Izal Valencia was no fool and knew the name of every crewman on his ship at all times.
Delilah had pleaded for safe travel after her game was up and begged not to be returned to her home. A stroke of luck saw her safely to Karaz Kharagul after nearly several months with the ship, with some pocket money to get herself started. Honest pay for honest work over the journey, could have been the escape she needed. An escape she wanted. It was everything she thought she wanted.

The sound of the waves aboard a ship had been too hypnotic and the crews honest concern for the young lady had prompted other ideas. Rather than start a life on the land, Delilah asked to stay aboard GREAT AQUARIUS for a little longer and travel the world. Over 10 years later she rose to the title of Captain, sharing leadership with Izal in many ways. Gifted with a silver tongue and schooled in etiquette, Delilah struck a chord with the rising Nobility and many of the established traders. Using her fathers good name as an in had granted her access to loftier positions in the hierarchy of Karaz.
That time was spent establishing the absolute effectiveness of Izals military might aboard their 'inferior' ship through dozens of raids, pursuits, excavations, and salvage missions. As adept on the sea as under it they were quick to establish a baseline of accomplishments that made them ideal choices for places an Armada simply could not go.

In a funny way, Delilah had adopted the dreams of the only man she could ever call a father. The memories of his kindness and patience in all things had burned in her a desire to see his dreams come to light.

Weapons

Rapier and dagger

None

Other: Talks with her biological father over the years have resumed and been kept civil, but any visit to Laxen is met with suspicion.

Cooper Castons

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Job: Carpenter, Repairman, etc.

Personality: A true “salt of the earth” type, Cooper is a humble and honest man who enjoys getting a job done with a smile. Put a hammer in his hand and he’ll whack away with it until he’s either completed his task or realised he can’t do it with a hammer. 

History Cooper is a member of the prestigious Castons bloodline. While not of any noble birth so to speak, the Castons have served as the royal “woodsmiths” of the City-Kingdom of Tarrock. A “woodsmith” is a professional trained in both traditional carpentry and wood manipulating magic, making them highly useful to the wooden, sea fearing societies of the day. The Castons family in particular have honed their skills in both carpentry and wood magic for all the years they’ve spent in Tarrock’s service, and anyone with the Castons name is likely to be an adept in said areas.

Cooper himself was raised since birth to be an expert woodsmith just like his father and his father before him and so on. He was practically born with a hammer in his hands. The only problem for Cooper was that he already had three older siblings and Tarrock didn’t really need any more woodsmiths. Cooper was looking to be the odd one out with no meaningful work for him to do. So instead of spending his days with idle hands, he decided to set out upon a mercenary ship which was sure to need someone who could patch up the boat after every scuff and scathe. Cooper didn’t really care where he was going as long as he was going to get to give something a good whack with his hammer.

Weapons

Steel Hammer, well used
Throwing Hammers, kept around his waist

Magic

Cooper’s wood magic allows him to cast spells that manipulate wood in various fashions. For instance, he can stretch out the wood on a boat to plug a leak in the hull, or fuse a separate piece of wood into another piece the way one might weld metal.

Ernest Obregon

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Job: Surgeon

Personality:

	Ernest is not a good person, in fact Ernest wants to be a bad person, a very bad person. Issue is he kinda sucks at it, and that's not entirely thanks to his brother. Ernest desires to be the most powerful fire mage in the world, and to use his necromantic and pyromantic abilities to become a legendary outlaw. Ernest's desires and confidence in his own ability to achieve them is all-encompassing, but he often finds himself fighting with his own conscience to not do good things.

	He does the right thing most times, it's hard not to, though if it's beneficial to himself, he can do the wrong thing. Speaking of the wrong thing, Ernest enjoys shaping and shifting the human form with his magic, which he sees as a hobby. This is how he became knowledgeable enough to work as a surgeon, and is also a sign of his ingrown cruelty, which he uses as a weapon against those he wants to fight.

History

	Born the elder younger twin of the Obregon family of necromancers, Ernest was always a rebellious child, while he learned the family's traditional necromancy, he didn't excel in it until he was a bit older than the average, and he never seemed to be extremely interested in actually resurrecting the dead, instead using necromancy to screw with the already raised dead.

	As he became a teenager, Ernest became obsessed with becoming a fire mage, despite, if not because of, the hate that fire magic got. Ernest left his home and traveled the world, much to his family's chagrin. His search for a fire mage was understandably almost impossible, but despite the hate he received for even desiring to become one, Ernest was determined to become a fire mage. Finally, on a sandbar in the middle of nowhere, Ernest found a small hut, belonging to a mature-appearing mage woman, who was actually in the hundreds of years old.

	For the mentorship he desired, Ernest was asked to be her most recent consort. Much to his displeasure, he found himself agreeing. Three years of intense training and some things Ernest would rather talk about, he was an intermediate fire mage. In gratitude, he murdered her, raised her corpse as his first familiar, and burned her house down after stealing any material she had on fire magic.

	Returning home with his new magic, Ernest reconnected with his family despite now being an evil-laughing maniac, and he joined with his twin to work as a ferryman. While Ernest wasn't happy to not be CONQUERING THE WORLD he was happy with the money he was getting, and when he was approached to join an actual ship as the surgeon, making money almost entirely unnecessary, he was pleased to accept.

Magic (Magic revolving around fire is now considered taboo so few have any real strength with it.)

Nathaniel Obregon

Age: 26

Gender: Male 

Race: Human

Job: Boatswain

Personality: Nathaniel is a walking contradiction. He is a very lazy man and will most of the time delegate a task to one of his many undead, unless it needs someone with vocal chords that is. However, there are sometimes where the young man gets more motivated than ever before and performs his task with more energy than ever before, only to go rest a moment later from the excitement.

The one consistent trait that Nathaniel has is his love for reading, whether it is a romantic novel, a book detailing magic, or just the ships logs, you'll always find a book in his hands.

History

Nathaniel Obregon was born as the older of a pair of twins to the Obregon family. A family of necromantic mages and proud owners of their own small sloop. Rather than having long voyages with this ship, his parents used it ferry people through to the various islands of the small archipelago that they called home, earning a fairly tidy profit, especially since most of the crew of the ship were undead and didn't exactly require any payment.

Despite having yet to finish his training in necromancy, the usually lazy Nathaniel showed interest in reading and learning more about geomancy, a branch of magic that was almost useless considering there was little actual land to control right now. His parents, after more than year, just gave in and hired a talented wandering mage to train him in this almost lost magic art at quite the price.

As the years passed, things actually started to get worse for Nathaniel. His younger twin brother would leave home in order to learn his own secondary kind of magic, a magic perhaps as, or even rarer than earth magic in this world, fire magic. Also, thanks to the fact that he now had to shift attentions between improving his necromantic skills and his geomantic skills, both suffered as a result.

To add to that, soon, his parent's luck also ran out and they were accosted by a large elven pirate ship. Neither his parents or the people they were ferrying came out of that engagement alive. And in one swift stroke, Nathaniel was left both without parents and destitute. Oddly enough, the only thing left in his possession was the mostly undamaged sloop filled with the dead bodies of his parents and people they were supposed to be burying.

After burning the bodies of his parents so that no other necromancer would use their bodies, he decided to follow in the family business and ferry people through the islands. Shortly afterwards, his brother Ernest returned and though he was quite a bit different than he was before, the two restarted their parents company.

However, only after a short time at this job, the two were approached by a captain who asked the two to join their their crew. Though he was a bit reluctant to do so, he eventually sold their parents sloop and joined this new captain, quickly rising to become the quartermaster of the ship, despite his inherent laziness.

Weapons

Pistols: Two pistols rest on the front holsters of the young man. Other than their somewhat more fancy look, these are about as strong as most pistols are.
Throwing Daggers: Pistols take time to reload, as such Nathaniel has trained himself to be fairly good at throwing daggers at his foes and though they don't have the same range as a gun, their "rate of fire" is much, much greater.

Magic

Necromancy(Master): Nathaniel's parents were quite talented necromancers that wished for their sons to learn their trade as well. As such, Nathaniel learned to become a quite the skilled necromancer, able to control around two dozen regular undead(i.e zombies and skeletons) at the same time. While that would not be his limit, anymore than that would put a strain on his body and his mind and restrict his focus to only controlling said undead.
Geomancy(Intermediate): A rather unusual and very rare choice of magic in this world considering there's precious little actual earth for him to manipulate, however, he was fascinated with this type of magic and actually had his parents hire one of the few mages that was actually experienced in this kind of magic. He learned it to a good degree, but had to quit the lessons after his parent's death left him with nothing but a small ship to his and his brother's name. Nowadays, he simply looks for books that

Other: Though it isn't any stronger than his other undead, Nathaniel has an old undead captain walking at all times by side as his personal bodyguard. He holds some personal value to it as it is the first human undead he ever raised.

Xia Elrian




Age:
46 (Looks around mid 20's)
Gender: 
Female
Race: 
Sea Elf
Job:
Quartermaster

Personality:
As a Quartermaster, Xia is rather stoic. Her 'no bullshit' attitude sometimes can put a damper on the friendly banter that goes on amongst the crew. But if you put a little bit of alcohol in her, she'll loosen up.
History:
Xia was born a pirate. Her father was a quartermaster, and her mother was a Gunner. So together, they raised this monstrosity of a child along with her two older siblings. She learnt to be stern, and quiet from a young age. Most would say that her childhood was somewhat of a nightmare, but she'll tell you it was a blessing in disguise.

Xia spent most of her life living in her sibling's shadows, each of them excelling at something, whether it be gunning, or trading. She was never that great at any of those things, but she was always the 'baby of the family', and was the only one that her father tolerated for long periods of time. 

The first and only time she saw her father's smile was when she found out she had a talent for aerotheurgy. Which was a power that her father also possessed, but none of her siblings had received. For this reason, she inherited his runic rapier, which he taught her how to use.

Unfortunately, when she had to strike out on her own, it was only her father's name that allowed her to take the positions that she had received. Not by her own merit. But Xia never took advantage of this nepotism, and always worked hard when given the opportunity.

Weapons:
Runic Rapier
Flintlock pistol
Two Daggers


Magic:
Aerotheurge - Xia can control the winds to a lesser effect, however, her lightning spells are much more powerful due to her runic rapier.


Other:
Her favourite drink is honey mead

Renault Aurelian LaFontaine IV

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Job: Navigator, Resident Annoyance

Personality
Renault has a very inflated sense of self-worth, even for a nobleman. He's smarter than everyone else, more talented than everyone else, more charming than everyone else, and, of course, more important than everyone else. Naturally, this makes him grating to interact with, especially relating to matters that he's actually talented in. Condescension is common, as is frequent whining when the harsh realities of life at sea contrast too heavily with his pampered tastes. Nevertheless, his showing of blunt disdain is usually a sign that he's comfortable with a person, as he tends to stick to courtly double-speak weaved into a facade of politeness when dealing with people he's unsure of.

He tries to carry himself with a dignified air regardless of circumstance; he's just as haughty wading through a sewer as he is roaming the halls of a nobleman's manor, though this is mostly an effort to place himself above everyone else around him. Nevertheless, when his composure does crack, he devolves into a whiny mess, throwing complaint after complaint until someone solves the issue of his displeasure like a spoiled child.

History
Born as the heir apparent to a prominent military family, Renault spent his childhood being groomed into an ideal naval officer. As such, he was drilled on a variety of subjects throughout his childhood; tactics, navigation, cartography, magic, swordplay, marksmanship; anything that could be valuable to his position. Prepped for perfection, Renault seemed to be in good standing to inherit House LaFontaine's fleet during his early life. Unfortunately, despite all his instruction in etiquette and courtly procedure, Renault was not without controversy. His inflated self-importance often led to him rubbing people the wrong way, which, while excusable when he was younger, became a point of contention for those he'd offended as he grew older and continued these behaviors. This came to a head during what should've been a simple arranged marriage between him and the eldest daughter of another prominent House, which resulted in him unapologetically offending not only his betrothed, but several of her relatives and their magnificent battleships as well. Renault's more politically savvy younger brother took advantage of the situation to improve his own standing, and Renault ended up veritably disowned by his father to avoid open hostilities between the two houses.

Left to his own devices without the wealth and brown-nosing servants he was accustomed to, Renault was forced to earn a living in the only place his skills were useful - onboard a ship. The local navy wouldn't take him, given his disgraced status, but private vessels looking for spare hands rarely vetted their hires very hard. Bouncing from crew to crew, whether because he annoyed the hell out of everyone else on board or he found a way to exploit his family name or talents for a better position elsewhere, Renault gradually worked out a fanciful and grandiose plan to take back his rightful place as a pampered rich guy. Expect it to end very badly.

Weapons

A Flask of Water - Exactly as the name implies, a small glass bottle of water. While the flask itself may be unextraordinary, it serves as an ideal base for the formation of weaponized water constructs, such as a pressurized mass of water that rapidly cycles in the shape of a sword for optimum cutting power. 
Cutlass - A mundane cutlass with a fairly simplistic handguard, like the kind some magically-illiterate peasant might use, in the unlikely event that masterful application of a handheld waterjet just can't get the job done.

Magic

Hydromancy - Anyone can yell at the sea, but getting the sea to answer is real talent. Ren's skillset covers the more basic utility spells like water-breathing and -walking or desalination of seawater, as well as the more dramatic manipulation of water, usually to violent effect. He's capable of shaping and manipulating intricate or complex structures out of water on a small scale, but has to rely on simple brute force tactics when commanding larger quantities of water, which can be quite exhausting.
