Justice League Atlantis

Arianna aka The Drifter

The silvery seal scoffed at Leviathan's comment. "Things are only out of the ordinary when they're not where they belong, human."She mind-whispered to him. Then she swam over next to Aquaman and did her best to copy the Atlantean soldier salute with fins. "Ready for duty, sir" Even if that duty was going to involve serving with a raider. Her skin crawled, thinking of the aftermath of Exsules raids she'd witnessed.

Such were the prices though for managing to join Aquaman's Justice League. She wasn't going to screw this up for the rest of Selkie kind. She'd definitely have her jabs at the surface men that managed to invade the team, but nothing that would truly harm her place. Meanwhile, she would do her duty and prove her worth and that of her race. While also having to respectfully disagree with king-consort Aquaman on a few details of how things were going to work. "Sir, I don't think this earpiece will work for my seal form." She stated while precariously balancing the thing on her fin. At the very least, she could quickly shove it under her skin for her surface form to be able to grab a hold of when it came out.

Posted. Did a bit to mesh things together better. Though, we might consider doing a more conversational order for this round to help speed things along where a person talks and another responds to what was last said based on who its directed to and/or if they'd reasonably have a response to that.

SS Libertalia

Cicero Bladewalker , Dalious , & Gwyneria

The gruesomeness of the kill shook Gwyn, but she was grateful that Dalious had taken the situation out of her hands. The mutiny leader would have been too dangerous to keep alive in any case. She would have to learn how to not freeze if the situation happened again though. That wasn't here or now though. Right now, Dalious was offering to get them to the next port and travel with them. She shivered at the callous mention of having his former crew walk the plank, but she could see the logic of it. She nodded her head in agreement with Cicero, not seeing a need to add any more words in. Then she dissipated the remnants of her light ribbon, feeling that bit of drain finish off,before checking that Cicero and Dalious weren't too injured, only really able to stop bleeding at this point. She helped Cicero as well as she could get the crew into the brig as Dalious ran the ship before going with him to get her equipment back. The feeling of her wand and rapier back leant her a better feeling of security that she'd been solely missing as well as her book.

As they walked towards the Captain at the wheel, Cicero whispered to her and she whispered in reply. "Don't worry. We will." Then Cicero went and protested Dalious's plans for his crew. On the one hand, yes killing so many at once like that was terrible. On the other hand though, what other options did they have? They'd be facing a worse death if turned into a port. If kept alive, there was a high chance one or more of them might come back for revenge. No way to trust them since she barely trusted Dalious. Really though, what would they do with them? Besides, this seemed a little early to be deliberately provoking a fight. "What were you thinking of doing with them then?" She asked Cicero, hoping she came across as a neutral at this point and could calm things down before they got heated up.

SS Libertalia

Cicero Bladewalker , Dalious , & Gwyneria

@Spiffy@Sol Grim

"On it." Gwyneria called. Knife at the ready, she slashed at Josh's sword wrist. The captain cried out in shock as his cutlass fell clattering to the deck. He started punching blindly, striking the elf once in the stomach as she tried to dodge. She stalled for a second, then forced herself through the pain to continue dodging his flails. Finally, she moved behind him and swiftly set the knife below his Adam's apple, her hand and body braced against his left shoulder so he couldn't easily turn around and attack. "Don't. Move."

The pirate rested his arms against his side, trying to force himself through his remaining drunkenness, blindness, and pain to figure out what to do now, especially since he now had a mage to contend with. There was no telling what a she witch like her would do.

Meanwhile, Gwen noted the state of her allies then stalled on what to do next. Killing him now would be the most sensible, but she'd never...She knew how to in case of need, but to actually, take a life? Have his blood stain her hands and leave her marked forever? He'd have no conpitions about taking her life or that of Cicero or Dalious. Ugh, what to do, what to do?

What happens next?

Kings and Killers: A Classical Fantasy Adventure (Chapter 1)

No problem. I'll get my post up sometime soon.

Justice League Atlantis

The Drifter

Name: Ariana Pheroncas
Codename: The Drifter
Age: 27
Home: Wanders through the realm, though considers the seaside of Scotland to be the closest thing to home
Powers/Abilities:
Telepathy: Can telepathically communicate with others and sense where other people are or overhear their thoughts.
Empathy: She can sense other people's emotions as well as broadcast her own or an emotion she's creating.
Selkie Transformation (racial trait): As a selkie, she is a seal in water but can take off her skin to become human on land.
Mixed Martial Artist: Has her own unarmed martial art style that mixes elements of Atlantian/Selkie and Earthian martial arts along with a typical seal fighting style that can be adjusted to suit her seal form underwater or her human form on land.
Weaknesses:
Can be overwhelmed from the sensations she experiences from her powers if there's tries to actively hear or feel more than ten people at once.
Powers can become erratic if she gets too emotional, especially if she becomes extremely emotionally distraught or panicked
Her seal skin is actively connected to her, even in human form. Meaning that if it is hurt, she experiences the same pain. She could live if its completely destroyed while in human form, but she could never become a seal again. Therefore, whoever has her skin does have power over her as is the case with other selkies.
Equipment: Pan flute, emergency knife, a dozen throwing knives, and her seal skin. (only in human form. Seal doesn't have equipment for obvious reasons.)
Experience: 2 years
Reason For Joining: To help protect the realm, especially from kidnappers. To be on the front lines in case humans decide to try a full on invasion. To prove that selkies can do more than most people expect.
Appearance: While seal, she's a slender silvery grey seal with mottled black and tan spots, large black eyes, and long whiskers. While human, she's black-haired with light tan skin that contains a silver tinge to it and freckles. Her oval face and sharp chin are paired with dark, almost black, brown eyes with larger than normal pupils and long hair that goes down to the small of her back.
BRIEF Bio: Most men know the legend; if you steal a selkie skin, then the selkie must become your wife and will stay so as long as she can never find her seal skin. Ari's life has been shaped from the effects of that myth. Oh there is truth, a selkie's bond with her skin makes it so that one would do anything to prevent it from harm or be able to have a chance to grab it back, even a mockery of marriage. Since barely any aid for their captured kindred came from other sources, the clans organized themselves to be able help those trapped to reclaim their skins, seek their revenge, and return home. When Ari's powers developed, she was a natural for the on land expeditions and keeping watch whenever they visited the shore. As the years went by, Ari became better at using her powers and protecting her people. Now on behalf of the former King, she will extend her protection to the rest of Atlantis.
Notes: Selkies could be considered the wandering gypsies of the Atlantean world if everyone else likes that idea. Ari can definitely play her Pan flute and sing high soprano.
