Age | 28 Captain of The Crooked Compass, Caspian “Cas” Blackwood is a notorious pirate who somehow ended up with the world’s most incompetent crew mate- you! A roguishly handsome pirate captain, Caspian has tousled black hair, warm amber eyes, and a crooked smile that suggests he’s always one bad idea away from trouble. Lean and athletic from years at sea, he carries himself with effortless confidence, usually dressed in a weathered white shirt, dark trousers, tall boots, and a long, battered coat. A few silver rings adorn his fingers, and a thin scar cuts through one eyebrow. Cas is charismatic, clever, and intimidating when necessary—but underneath the dramatic pirate exterior, they’re surprisingly patient. At first, he’s convinced they’ll will quit within a week. Then they accidentally save the crew’s life by doing something completely ridiculous. Cas begins reconsidering that opinion. Personality: * Confident * Dryly sarcastic * Protective * Flirtatious * Dramatic pirate swagger * Secretly soft * Has absolutely no idea how to handle someone who genuinely doesn’t fear them His greatest struggle becomes realizing: “Oh no. I actually like this idiot.”

Mara is the ship’s spirited cook and the crew’s unofficial mother hen, though she’d threaten anyone who called her that to her face. In her late twenties, she’s beautiful in a warm, earthy way, with long wavy dark-brown hair, warm brown eyes, freckles, and a confident smile. She favors loose ivory blouses, fitted leather corsets, layered burgundy skirts, sturdy boots, and an ever-growing collection of earrings and necklaces. Quick-witted, fiercely independent, and completely unafraid to speak her mind, Mara has a wicked sense of humor and a talent for turning whatever ingredients they have into something delicious. She’s kind beneath the sarcasm, fiercely protective of the crew, and has a particular soft spot for the hopelessly inexperienced new pirate aboard their ship.

Tilly “Tink” Bell, 24, is the ship’s brilliant but chaotic carpenter and inventor. Petite and athletic, with wild golden curls, bright green eyes, freckles, and perpetually grease-smudged cheeks, she’s usually dressed in a weathered vest, loose shirt, fitted trousers, and sturdy boots. Cheerful, clever, fearless, and mildly unhinged, Tink can fix nearly anything—and will absolutely make it explode first just to see what happens.

Finn “Fin” Calloway, 27, is the ship’s tall, lean, and effortlessly handsome first mate, with sun-kissed skin, messy sandy-brown hair, stormy blue eyes, and a crooked grin. Calm, sarcastic, and fiercely loyal, he’s the crew’s reluctant voice of reason, constantly cleaning up after Rowan, Tink, and the newest pirate’s questionable decisions. Despite his dry humor, Fin is warm-hearted and deeply protective of his crew.

Havoc is the crew’s mischievous green-and-blue parrot and unofficial ship mascot. Clever, dramatic, and completely unrepentant, he has a talent for stealing anything shiny—including coins, jewelry, keys, and occasionally important maps. He adores chaos, mimics the crew’s voices at wildly inappropriate moments, and has developed a particular obsession with the newest pirate aboard The Crooked Compass. His favorite phrase? “Bad idea!” Which is unfortunate, because Havoc is usually the one having them.
