ackground (WIP):
Geography
Eos is realm filled with all the myths and legends you could ever imagine. The sea is plagued with everything from mermaids to demons, and the most treacherous: pirates.
Eos is divided into five main continents. The center continent is inhabited primarily by humans and is often referred to as the “Center of the World”. Here lie the bustling ports and all matters of trade. The very center lies the elaborate palace belonging to King Xander.
To the north there are small colonies of giants and forests of trees that reach high into the sky. This continent is known mostly for its lush green landscapes and diversity of wildlife. Although, most things here tend to be considered abnormally large to humans.
To the east lies the deserts of Iumen. Most of the continent is hot and dry deserts spanning for miles. The main inhabitants are clans of lizard people and races of humans with darker skin. All the ports are fully manned and operated by humans.
The south is a cold expanse of tundra and snow. There’s not much to see here other than the occasional Yeti and penguin. Most who visit here come for the clear starry sky and expanses of northern light.
The west is called the black zone. Here the darkness thrives more than anywhere else. Very few humans have ever dwelled there, and even less return to tell the tale. It is said the whole continent is occupied by vampires and demons from the underworld. The official name is Plegia.
Of course, there are many strange islands scattered on the sea between the continents. Many of these islands have strange treasures, and even stranger tales waiting to be discovered.
Ideals
The humans of Eos are very open and accepting of all genders, races, and orientations. They are, however, still mistrusting of other species. Some more than others. There are no dominating religions in Eos. Most people follow a deity of some sort, the most popular being the Sun Deity, Ray. (Honestly you can align yourself with a deity of anything you'd like if you so choose.)
Appearances
In the realm of Eos there are many peculiar traits among the human race. It is possible to be born with an unusual eye color (gold, silver, red, yellow, etc). The range of skin tones and hair colors are the same as in the real world. As we are only playing humans there's no need to worry about other traits that would be seen in other species.The fashion is a cross between Victorian and steampunk, so feel free to play with your wardrobe using those as guidelines. The technology has not advanced past the industrial era in this world.

Re-Caps
Most of the crew know what happened a year ago, but none speak of it. While traversing the caverns of the norther continent the crew came upon an unexpected hoard of demons. Many of the crew died, including many top crew members. (Second Mate, Petra Kins. Pilot, Vincent Keen. Surgeon, Orion Wells. And many others.) The surviving crew left the cavern in shambles. For the next year the Captain locked himself away or said very little. Any missions were done under the command of the new Second Mate. After the long period of seclusion the Captain finally returned to somewhat normal. He set out to replace the lost crew members for an epic journey. Now, you stand on the deck as introductions are made.

My Characters
Name: Simon Hayes
Aliases: Cunning Beast (Poniró Thirío)
Rank: Captain
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Orientation: Pansexual
Appearance: Simon is a tall, lanky character. He stands at a total height of 6'1" when he isn't slouching. He has a lean muscle structure from years of working on a ship and having his fair share of scraps over the years. As a result of the constant fights and explorations he has many scars scattered over his lightly tanned skin. The most notable past injuring being the slight bend/bump in his nose from being broken.
Simon's facial structure is rather heart-shaped. He had a smooth jaw line and high cheekbones. His pale lips are thin, but often pulled into a grin. His eyes are a stormy blue/grey framed by dark lashes and a messy fringe. Simon's hair always looks like he woke up and forgot to comb it. He has dark chestnut brown hair with a long fringe in the front that sweeps to the right. The rest of his mop of hair is messily trimmed to about an inch in length. Luckily he's usually wearing the captains hat.
As for general attire, Simon always wears a plain black captains hat with an assortment of random pins and trinkets on the brim. He wears a white, long sleeved shirt under a dark brown leather vest. His trousers a a matching color in a much lighter and more breathable fabric. His boots are black leather and reach just below his knees. As for other accents he likes to collect anything golden in color. He often carried a different golden pocket watch every month.
Personality: The Simon most people meet is relatively charming and sweet. Simon likes to makes jokes, usually at the expenses of others. His way of talking is rather erratic. Usually he's always following his own trail of thought, telling round about stories to answer simple questions. He never likes to give a direct answer if he can avoid it. It's so much more fun to watch others figure it out themselves. Simon's driving forces are all self-serving. If it's not worth putting up the act or putting in the work, he won't do it. This often reveals his true character: a cunning and manipulative joker.
What makes him a good captain is his dedication and loyalty to anyone who works with him. If he can trust you, he will protect you. Simon is also ruthless when it comes to those who oppose him. He will cut down anyone who stands in his way or threatens his interests without hesitation.

Other: House of Memories - Panic!At the Disco
"And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories"
Name: Chance O'Malley
Aliases: Bullseye
Rank: Old - Master Striker
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance: About 5’11” in height with a strong, muscular build. Very disciplined in maintaining peak form for hunting and trapping. On his right wrist he has a cursive black M tattoo. He has a strong square jawline and rather high cheekbones. As for his other facial features he has an average nose and slightly plusher lips than other men with a defined cupid's bow on his upper lip. His eyes are a dark chocolate brown. The tops of his cheeks and bridge of his nose are smattered with light freckles that pop against his pale skin. His appearance makes him seem much younger.
Chance’s hair appears to be silvery blond. It is often pulled back onto a simple, short ponytail with a cord of leather. When untied it messily falls around his face, coming to about chin length. As for general attire Chance finds great importance in appearances and functionality. He often wears breathable but fashionable clothing.
His general outfit consists of a deep green shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His bottoms are usually dark brown or black and are loose enough to offer full mobility. His boots are military like, going half way up his shin and fully laced. They are also in a dark brown shade.
Personality: Despite what most people may think, Chance is actually a very calm and logical person. What he lacks is patience and trust in others. Chance would rather take on the brunt of the responsibility himself rather than let someone else mess it up. This makes him a rather harsh commander and those working with him are the few people he can trust to do the job right. He bares a strong sense of loyalty towards those he thinks deserve it.
Chance is very sociable and loves to talk and crack jokes with anyone who is willing. He doesn’t discriminate against anyone unless they’ve done something he deems utterly wrong. So really he’s friends with anyone who will spend a couple minutes chatting with him. It is clear by the way he talks that his two loves are the sea and hunting.
History: When Chance was 17 he was already well known for his hunting skills. Mainly because he had been poaching off of wealthy peoples land, as such there was a sizable bounty on his head. Chance had been in the process of fleeing town to head for a new one when he was caught and sentenced to death. The day before his execution a peculiar man came to his cell and made his a proposition. Since that day Chance has been a loyal member to Captain Simon and his crew.

Name: Somnium ("The Dream" in Latin)
Aliases: Alex, Somni, The Dreamer
Rank: Old - Pilot
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Orientation: Pansexual
Appearance: Alex stands at a height of 5'6" with long legs and a shorter torso. She has a slight hourglass figure as a result. Her skin is often tanned, usually sun burnt, and naturally pale. Most of her strength lies in her arms from years of steering, but other than that she's pretty average on the fitness scale.
Alex's hair is inky black and falls down her back in waves. Her hair is all one length and is usually tied back into a high pony tail or braid when she's working. The last thing she needs is to get her hair tangled with the ship's wheel. Alex has bright hazel eyes that shift slightly between the brown and green range. Usually they look more brown then green. She has a scar that cuts through the tail of her right eyebrow. Somni has a soft jawline and very feminine features. With large eyes and thin cupid bowed lips.
Alex's general outfit consists of a pair of knee high black leather boots that fold down at the top. Tight cotton pants in a darker shade and a sleeveless blouse tucked into the high waist of her trousers. On days she feels like covering up the bare shoulders she throws on a dark brown leather jacket. She always has a stud in her left ear and an ornate dangly earring in her other.
Personality: Alex had always been more of the shy and quite type growing up. Her family was very eccentric, hence her name. She was always embarrassed as a kid but as she grew older she began to understand how her name fit her. Alex was always day-dreaming, off in her own world.
Alex is an intelligent girl, but tends to keep her knowledge to herself. She is very fascinated by legends and myths, as well as astronomy. She has a hard time trusting others or getting to know them due to her past, but once she breaks down her walls a little bit she's actually more than happy to chat and share a laugh.
History: When Alex would dream about sailing the sea and visiting all kinds of magical places with faeries and dragons. Of course as she grew older she began to grow out of the idea. She assumed she would spend life living in a small village off the coast for the rest of her life. However, after reading many tales and stories about famous pirates she decided to set out and find one that would let her join their crew so she could fulfill her dream of travelling the sea.
At 19 years old Alex was the newest member of Captain Hayes crew. She started as a crew member swabbing the decks but over the years she diligently made an impression on the captain. After a particularly bad exploit where both the previous second mate, Petra, and the pilot, Vincent, did not return Alex was promoted to the position of the new pilot.

Alright, I'm interested
Name: Colin Morvach
Nicknames: Loon, Iron B*****d, Old Man.
Role: Master Gunner/Gunner
Age: ?? (Older than forty, at least)
Gender: Male
Orientation: Asexual/Celibate
Appearance: Colin is a withered, manic man with a bizarre facial tick and more scars than the rest of the crew combined. He's missing a good chunk of his face, and is a short, twisted person, built like a starving wretch, but has uncanny strength and speed. What's left of his hair grows in twisted, grey knots dispersed randomly over his scarred, burned head and face, and his brown eyes constantly dart around, looking for danger. He has a rather standard jaw, and is missing most of his teeth.
Colin is always in his scuffed up gear, consisting of a heavy leather jacket, a cross necklace, and thick leather pants, that provide both protection and mobility. Upon his left sleeve is sewn a patch of an exotic plant, with a heart patch painstakingly sewed on sometime afterwards. He carries eight pistols and three daggers on a sash clipped to his chest, and has a tattoo of a man fighting an amorphous shape on his sunken chest.
Personality: Colin is manic, depressive, and utterly prone to fits of confusion, where he calls people or things bizarre names, or even mistakes them for people long dead. He is often locked away in his chambers, obsessively charting currents, news events, and paintings of people, tying them together with strings in some attempt at making sense of a conspiracy he swears is true. He is harsh, but tries to protect the crew members he does get along with. He is a recluse.
History: Colin's been around longer than pretty much the entire crew, and is old enough to be half the crew's father. He keeps very quiet about his past life, other than that he fought some sort of war, a war that his side lost, and lost badly. He seeks revenge against this perceived enemy, but nobody's ever heard of or seen them.

Standing at 6'3, with his hair adding an extra inch, he doesn't stand out too much from the average male, but isn't too unpleasant to look at. While his face is never fully clean shaven, he never allows it to pass a stubble. His most noticeable detail is a small scar on his upper lip from a fight with his father. His wardrobe consists of a loose fitting white shirt and cargo pants. He tends to wear boots, usually going up to calf. His pants have two revolvers and a silver flask clipped on it. Everything about his clothes scream practicality, and only practicality. If he needs to wear a jacket, he has a long trench coat.
Personality:
If there is a lack of interesting details in his personality. One could, with a simple glance, assume the Valentine is arrogant, but if you get to know him, it isn't the case. If he gets to know someone, he is incredibly kind to them, unless if prompted otherwise. He does get angry and frustrated quickly, partly in due to his large dependence on alcoholic beverages. If insulted, he is quick to a comeback and is incredibly witty. However, he can be pretty withholding on information, especially about his former life. His nickname has two meanings: His dependence on alcohol and his proficiency with a gun. No matter what type of gun you put him in front of, you can be sure that he can fire it, and fire it d*mn well. His biggest weakness is an inability to properly wield most close-combat weapons, leading him to mainly use his fists if without access to a gun.
History:
One-Shot grew to prominence at the age of 19, when he was involved in an attack on a fleet of cargo ships for a textile company in protest of poor working conditions. On that attack, he lost most of his friends, and became a pessimist, resorting to alcohol to fill a hole left in his life. At 20, he became a thief, most well known for his featured role in wanted posters in his home town. Eventually he grew to long for the ability to be a part of something greater, which is when he decided to join Hayes' crew. Nothing is known of his life before then, and Valentine likes to keep it that way.

Name: Edward Kidd
Aliases: Jack Benjamin, Stede Prince
Rank: Old-Gunner
Age: 49
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight
Appearance:
Edward is an average height pirate. He is fort-eight years old, but has no wrinkles or anything showing old age. He has a gruff and slightly deep voice. He also usually wears a necklace with a shark tooth on it. He isn't buff, but strong. He has messy black hair that isn't long, but isn't short either. He usually has a black beard, that isn't short, nor is it long. His eyes are a steely gray. Edward usually wears worn boots and battered leather pants. He usually wears a triangle point hat. Edward also wears a battered leather jacket. He wears a white shirt underneath his jacket.
Personality:
Edward is like any other average pirate. To others, he is intimidating. To his crew, he's a harmless old guy. Edward is loyal to his crew fiercely. He believes each and every one of them is his brother and sister. He doesn't mind sharing a drink with you, and if he catches that you cheated on a game of dice with him, he'll just laugh loudly and say that the next round of drinks is on you. To others, such as Navy men, other pirate crews, and civilians, he can be fearful and unpredictable. But that's all just an act. Truthfully, Edward feels old, and feels like he needs to retire.
History:
Born and raised in Europe, Edward was poor. He needed coin. He needed adventure. He needed to live his life. So he did what anyone else would do: he ran off and join a crew of pirates. He joined many pirate crews. Some were too drunk to get out of port, and were ambushed by Navy men. Some were weak and cowardly, and killed at the hands of other pirates. Some were traitors, some were loyal, some were masters, some were idiots. Finally he found a good crew. Simon Hayes' crew. He was one of the few who served with Simon the longest time, and had come to become great friends with the man.
Other:
Edward has seriously been thinking of retiring. He decided after the quest, when they returned, would be a good time. Little does he know, he created many enemies over his years. Enemies who are hunting him. Enemies who want blood.
