Race: Caucasian, human
Birthplace: A small village by the coast, in a ramshackle hut
Current residence: the Defiance
Family: his parents, probably dead by now in their small coastal village
Significant others: right now, he’s solely intimate with his captain, Mark Hawkhurst

Height: 6’1”
Weight: Unsure, but he’s on the slim side, all wiry muscle
Eyes: Dark blue; they darken to black when he’s angered
Hair: Dirty blonde, long enough so that when tied back it hangs right between his shoulder blades
Dress: He wears boots, trousers, and a shirt. Simple as that. The shirt changes colors, but the black trousers and boots stay the same. He only buys new clothes when his new ones are falling apart.
Jewelry: He wears a silver hoop in one ear.
Habits: He drinks every now and again, which always seems to get him into trouble.
Healthy: Yes, relatively healthy. His constant screw-ups aren’t very good for him, though. He’s beaten up rather frequently.
Hobbies: He can whittle rather well. Plus he does the whole pirate deal – pillaging, plundering, raiding…
Speech: Rough, but not as bad as others do. He tries to learn from his captain.
Style: Rather shabby.

Personality: He’s very humble and shy, but when he’s on a drunk, he gets loud and bold, and often lands in a mess of trouble.
Character’s darkest secret: He knows about Mark’s dead wife’s secret pregnancy.
Emotions: He handles his emotions well, and often helps Mark deal with his.
Spiritual belief: He believes in God, and heaven and hell.
Story: He’s the first mate, despite his constant blundering. He’s served side-by-side with Mark since before the senior Hawkhurst’s death. When Mark’s wife died, he comforted his friend, and they shifted from just friends to secret lovers. He fears the day when Mark falls in love with someone else and leaves him behind all alone.

[phantomlover369]

Name: Mark Hawkhurst
Age: 24 years old
DOB: June 18
Sex: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Race: Caucasian, human
Birthplace: Somewhere out at sea, in the middle of a hurricane, in the captain’s quarters of the ship Defiance
Current residence: the Defiance
Family: his mother died giving birth to him, his father died in a raid while he was sixteen, and his older brother Shane considers him his worst enemy
Significant others: He was once married, but no longer. He has a wench to please him at every port now. And, of course, his little lover Kalen at sea that constantly gets into trouble…

Height: 6’7”
Weight: Don’t have a specific weight for him as of yet, but he’s built large, all muscle
Eyes: Green
Hair: jet-black, halfway past his ears; it’s rough and uneven where he hacks at himself with scissors
Distinguishing features: one thin scar running horizontally across his left cheek, six or seven wider scars dissecting his chest and back; one large tattoo on his back of a black rose that starts with the flower on the back of his neck with a thorn-covered vine that trails down his spine. He was staggering drunk when he received it.
Dress: He wears black boots made of supple leather most of the time, with black trousers and varying colors of button-up shirts to wear under his impressive red tasseled jacket. He often wears a tri-corn hat on his hair, but at the moment, he doesn’t have one because he lost it in the last storm.
Jewelry: He wears a single, small hoop in one ear.
Habits: Smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Healthy: Yes, very healthy. Except for the smoke that will eventually leave his lungs diseased and kill him.
Hobbies: pillaging, plundering, raiding… The usual pirate package
Speech: He has a very refined way of speaking for a pirate. Few to no grammatical errors.
Style: He presents himself as a ‘gentleman pirate’; elegant and graceful even when slaughtering those who try to oppose him.

Personality: he can be fiery mad or icily furious, depending on the situation. He is always intimidating first as a shield, but he has a more tender side for those that can get past the foreboding image he presents and win his affections.
Character’s darkest secret: He was once married, but his wife was killed in a raid and he swore he would never fall in love again. She was pregnant at the time, but he never told anyone.
Most prized possession: his wife’s wedding ring
Emotions: he bottles everything up until there’s no more room left inside and he has to pour it all out again. Usually he tells Kalen to lock him in the hold and he gets drunk and breaks things until he feels better. Before his wife died, he spilled all his worries and fears to her.
Spiritual belief: he wants to believe there is a God so that he can believe his wife is in heaven, but he doesn’t know why God would then allow her to die and leave him all alone.

Story: Starts with the meeting of his wife during (surprise, surprise) a raid in a large coastal town. At first, she is a prisoner, but she gradually tames the fearsome captain and they sail together for two years, madly in love, until her death. Then he is left bereft and depressed, unsure how to cope without her any longer. Kalen is a pillar of support, however shaky he may be, and that trust develops into mutual lust. Still now, they are sailing without purpose, stealing and killing as they please. Their crew numbers nearly 150 men. He does not believe that he will ever find another, male or female, that he will love as he did his wife.

[phantomlover369]

Name: Sergio Baits
Age: 24
DOB: February 4, 1985
Sex: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Race: Caucasian, human
Birthplace: Deep in the south, though they have always drifted and he cannot recall which one he was born in
Current residence: No place in particular; he still drifts
Family: A mother with a fondness for foreign names, and two younger sisters named Kailyn, who is slim as befitting her name, and Tegan, who is beautiful as her name suggests.
Significant others: No one; he finds it easy to distance himself from others when he is constantly teased for his name, which is Latin for ‘servant’

Height: 6’3”
Weight: He’s slim and soft, but not decidedly feminine; almost asexual, neither gender very prominent
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Dark brown, long enough to reach the base of his neck; bangs usually cover his eyes
Dress: Jeans, usually, whatever T-shirt he happens to put his hand on first, and sneakers
Habits: Smokes occasionally
Healthy: Besides the smoking, generally healthy
Hobbies: Writing and playing guitar
Fears: Violence; it reminds him of the time when he was raped

Personality: Sergio is quiet and withdrawn; not emo, but in no way socially active.
Character’s darkest secret: He was raped when he was sixteen by a senior in his high school. It was apparently one of the football players acting on a dare.
Emotions: Stays as emotionless as possible; he never wants to be weak before others
Spiritual belief: Raised Roman Catholic; now he is not sure what to think

Story: Sergio was raised by his mother, along with his two sisters, as they traveled America in a beat-up minivan. Unlike his sisters, who are bastard children, his father wrote him into his will and when he died about a year ago, Sergio was left with a small fortune in his name alone. He switched schools nearly every semester and so he never really made any friends. His sisters were more social, because they had each other, but Sergio was always alone. In high school, he was called ‘emo’ and generally avoided by all, even the real emo crowd. He never bothered to try and force his way into any circles of friends, and tried to avoid group work while in class at all times. When he was 16, he was raped in the boy’s locker room after school by a senior football player on a dare or fifty bucks. His self-esteem only sank lower, and he told no one about what had happened. Now still no roots have grown and he continues to wander. He has forgotten where his mother and sisters are, and frankly could not care less. He wanders from town to town as he pleases without much care. Before he received the inheritance, he would get a job and earn a bit of dough to eat, leaving the town when he felt welcome no longer or had enough money saved for bus fare and a room at a hotel until the next job came along. When times were tough he played his guitar for money. Besides that and a small bag for clothes and other items, he had nothing to his name. Now he still wanders, with nothing much else in his possession, but he no longer struggles for money. He does not intend to ever settle down.
