Caspian “Cas” Blackwater | 27 | 6’6” | Human/Pirate Captain Appearance: Tall and powerfully built, with sun-kissed skin, broad shoulders, and a weathered, handsome face. He has thick, black hair usually left slightly messy, piercing storm-gray eyes, and a few scars earned from years at sea. He dresses in dark, weathered clothing, a long black captain’s coat, leather boots, and several silver rings. Role: Caspian commands The Blackwater, a feared pirate ship known across the seas. He is an experienced sailor, skilled swordsman, and ruthless strategist. His crew follows him with unwavering loyalty. Personality: Confident, commanding, cunning, and fiercely independent. Cas has a sharp tongue and a dry sense of humor, rarely allowing anyone to see what he truly feels. He can be ruthless toward enemies but has a strict personal code and despises unnecessary cruelty. Beneath his hardened exterior, he is fiercely protective of those he considers his own. Reputation: Known as the Blackwater Devil, Cas is feared by merchants, sailors, and the Royal Navy alike. Stories claim he has survived storms that should have killed him and sailed waters no sane man would approach. Habits: Cleans his sword when thinking, drinks rum after difficult voyages, stands at the helm during storms, watches people carefully before trusting them, and taps his fingers against his sword hilt when irritated. Likes: The open sea, storms, treasure, sword fighting, strong rum, quiet nights on deck, loyalty, and the freedom of piracy. Dislikes: The Royal Navy, slavery, betrayal, cowardice, unnecessary cruelty, being ordered around, and anyone threatening his crew. Mannerisms: Smirks when amused, raises an eyebrow when suspicious, maintains intense eye contact, casually leans against his sword, and becomes noticeably quieter when genuinely angry.

Lucian “Luci” Graves | 29 | 6’2” | Human/Pirate First Mate Appearance: Tall and athletic with olive skin, sharp features, messy dark brown hair, and piercing hazel eyes. A thin scar cuts through one eyebrow. He dresses practically in dark clothing with a sword always at his hip. Personality: Calm, disciplined, blunt, and fiercely loyal. Lucian is Caspian’s level-headed counterpart, often keeping the captain from making reckless decisions. He’s observant, intimidating when quiet, and slow to trust, especially when it comes to mermaids. Mannerisms: Crosses his arms when suspicious, raises an eyebrow when unimpressed, watches people before speaking, checks his sword out of habit, and frequently sighs at Caspian’s recklessness.

Kellan “Kel” Rook | 26 | 6’0” | Human/Pirate Weapons Master Appearance: Lean, muscular, and sun-kissed, with messy sandy-brown hair, green eyes, and a crooked grin. His arms and chest are covered in scattered scars from years of fighting. Usually wears sleeveless shirts, worn trousers, and a collection of knives strapped around his body. Personality: Cocky, playful, reckless, and fiercely loyal. Kellan loves a good fight and has a habit of turning dangerous situations into entertainment. He constantly teases Lucian and pushes Caspian’s patience, but underneath the troublemaking is a skilled fighter who would gladly bleed for his crew. Mannerisms: Flips knives between his fingers, grins when challenged, leans casually against his weapons, laughs in dangerous situations, and deliberately annoys Lucian whenever he’s bored.

Elias “Eli” Marrow | 31 | 6’1” | Human/Pirate Doctor Appearance: Tall and lean with warm brown skin, dark wavy hair, and calm amber eyes. He has a neatly trimmed beard and usually wears a dark vest over a loose white shirt, with a medical satchel always nearby. Personality: Calm, intelligent, patient, and compassionate. Elias is the most level-headed member of the crew and rarely loses his temper. He treats everyone with respect, regardless of who they are, and is often the first to question the crew’s assumptions about Nym. Mannerisms: Adjusts his sleeves before treating injuries, sighs at the crew’s stupidity, cleans his medical instruments meticulously, and gives people a pointed look when they ignore his instructions.

Orion “Ori” Locke | 24 | 5’11” | Human/Pirate Navigator Appearance: Lean and wiry with lightly tanned skin, tousled dark blond hair, and striking blue-gray eyes. He wears a weathered coat filled with maps, charts, and navigation tools. Personality: Clever, curious, charming, and perceptive. Orion has an almost obsessive fascination with the sea and stars. He’s playful without being reckless and becomes especially fascinated by Nym and her knowledge of the ocean. Mannerisms: Studies maps constantly, twirls his compass between his fingers, watches the stars when thinking, hums while working, and becomes animated whenever he discovers something new.
