Name: Raez I. Plutoneus
*Nicknames: Rae, Captain (by the crew of Solis), Eas; open for more nicknames.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Age: He doesn’t even know, but he looks around 19-22.
*Rune: Water Rune; he just recently found it.
Region: He’s from the relative Southwest.
Appearance: Raez is a healthy-looking young man with olive skin that could be said as fairly pale considering his time in the sun. By some miracle, he’s never been sunburned before, but he does have a pale burn scar across the right side of his face spanning from his right ear to about his nose. His face is oval-shaped mostly but with a slightly square jaw with vaguely sharp edges, and he has dazed ocean blue eyes with a confident but distant feel to them, though overall he seems alert though not on-edge. Rae only has one double eyelid, which is on his right eye, and his ears are not pierced. His hair seems unnatural, a brassy orange that makes it seem as if the sun burnt the original color off, with blotches of white protruding from their roots as if he has aged ahead of time in that aspect only. While his bangs are not necessarily stiff, they’re still mostly kept out of his eyes. Standing at a respectable height of 6’ 1’’, he has a fit and toned build with defined muscles where it counts, impressively with only one bullet scar near his right shoulder.
Personality: He’s someone who’s probably on the nicer side of pirates despite his expertise. Though distantly melodramatic, Raez is overall with a pleasant and easygoing disposition who enjoys being in the company of others and doesn’t mind interacting with them. In fact, he seems to make an effort to get along with others at the very least and is a very loyal person who views friends as very important and defining towards himself, with a part of that view going towards just mere comrades as well. Willing to be accommodating towards others’ needs and wants depending on the specific circumstances or at least willing to consider those views and make others feel noticed at the very least, Raez is a fairly fair (hehe) person who tries to include his crew in decisions when he can and doesn’t mind taking on more personal work than he initially planned. Of course, it’s not to mention that none of this would be what most would describe him as. He does literally have a reputation, after all.
While this Cardinal understands that conflict is a very central part of his lifestyle, he still tries to avoid it when he can, especially if it’s amongst the crew. He would never hesitate to defuse a fight when he can, hopefully through semi-peaceful methods, even though he’s fully capable of intimidating others. While he is not necessarily trusting, which is reasonable given his circumstances, he is one willing to trust and give others chances to earn the trust at the very least.
Being human, Raez does have multiple traits that would easily put someone off as to what he does, and some of those traits are towards his leadership. At times, Raez does slightly incline towards arrogance, though it rarely poses a large issue in the long run, instead perhaps just setting him off from others at times with his determination to make his own decisions and follow through his own beliefs. He can seem a bit eccentric, though perhaps it can be appreciated that he doesn’t make efforts to mask this. Despite his easygoing nature, Raez hates being lied to and absolutely loathes traitors, never forgiving anyone who intentionally harmed him or is willing to harm him. Despite seeming like a guy who wears most of his emotions on his sleeve, he is actually very skilled at acting and adapting personas onto himself, which sometimes makes his actions inconsistent. Doing so could range from being for some sort of mischievous purpose (e.g. making people be like “what”) or for benefitting himself and his comrades in some situation. This makes him extremely hard to read even while he can read those nearby and close to him pretty closely and startlingly accurately.
Reasons for Raez’s actions are usually up for interpretation and ambiguous, with his morals themselves being very questionable. While he can seem very kind and considerate, Rae is obviously someone who is not above fighting/violence if so needed and his efficiency and success so far has come from his ruthlessness in that he will almost always do what needs to be done once he pinpoints what that is…with the exception of perhaps his largest inability as a leader, an initial reluctance to personally indulge in fighting in the first place no matter whether or not it helps himself and others. He also obviously is not always capable of reading others—for instance, sometimes he fails to realize when others need help right away. In any case, the sources of his weaknesses are questionable considering his overall vocal nature to his crew and his sentimentality at times.
No matter what, he seems to be a very prudent, commonsensical, and sometimes even chary person. Though he may tend to act dramatic sometimes, he still carries a sense of reality; and even if he does do something wrong or act stupid at times, he is aware of his own actions and impacts on others and will acknowledge his own mistakes, taking responsibility for them instead of pinning it onto someone else. (Though, if it’s actually your fault, he will point it out and make sure you understand as well.) While he does appreciate the art of drama, he doesn’t actually like the other type of drama at all, rather preferring to not have to cross roads with it when he can.
Surprisingly defining of him is an overall lack of grace (though not ridiculous) despite how easily he seems to maneuver through most other situations. For instance, his walking is more arrogant and poised to cover more distance than impressive and is actually more comical than anything. Raez can also be somewhat clumsy, though he doesn’t worry too much about it because his combat and fighting skills are what really matter more in comparison. And while a leader might be expected to be ahead of his crew at all times and remember just about everything, Raez is actually quite forgetful about certain small things even with his superb long-time memory and will remember random facts or trivia instead. Last but not least, he has a natural tendency to be anxious and act fast, though this inclination is one he mostly has under control—save for his habits that showcase the trait nonetheless, such as tapping his foot, pacing, and never really sitting down for extended periods of time unless a task decrees that he needs to stay in place to finish it quickly. However, even if his crew laughs at him for these traits and more, he doesn’t mind; he’ll go with the flow and just laugh along instead of being petty.
In all, he is not a cruel person and is always far from enjoying the violence that accompanies a lifestyle with piracy. He doesn’t think of anything as an absolute ‘right’ or wrong’, and while he is likely aware what he does is wrong, he thinks that the world is one with more wrongs than rights anyways. Perhaps to him, there are more differences between them and those who pursue them that result in differences that can’t be overcome—distinctions that far outweigh the efforts of anyone who ever tried to overcome them in the first place. Raez is just someone cruising through life the best he can, and for all he knows right now, that’s the life he is content with.
Clothing Preference: The Southern Cardinal dresses better than one might expect from a pirate. He would much rather be hot than be easily sunburned or have less defense against others—after all, clothing is somewhat a line of defense in a fight. He covers most of himself when he can, arms and a bit of his chest being exceptions. At times, he also dresses more formally, looking more like a kidnapped gentleman somehow roaming out and about on a pirate ship than the captain of his crew.
Of course, most of the time, it’s still rather easy to see that he is a pirate. Outside of the cabin, he will usually wear his hat, which isn’t very fancy and large as some other captain hats. Raez isn’t a huge fan of wearing jewelry or what he and his crew attain, and usually that makes for a pretty plain appearance on his part.
He tries to wear around two thin layers, and he does not have a hook arm or an eyepatch; he does not plan to have those two if he can help it. To him, it sounds incredibly inconvenient to have either.
His usual color scheme would consist of colors such as blue, gray, orange, white, brown, and tan, but he doesn’t mind most colors. He doesn’t wear black (at least in daytime) for hopefully obvious reasons.
*Weapon{s}: Raez is skilled in using most weapons available to pirates and knows how to assemble parts already given to him for some types. He is capable of using guns, cutlasses, daggers, dirks, and such, but he prefers long-range weapons more. He tries not to use his rune unless circumstances prove that it’s absolutely needed but spends plenty of time training with it.
Also, his reputation’s mostly the most efficient weapon to securing loot, making ‘everyone’s lives easier’.
Ship: Solis
Spot: Southern Cardinal
*Rune Powers: What could a water rune do? Well, that’s kind of what Raez is trying to figure out. While using it, he is able to manipulate water…kind of a risky thing to do when you’re on a ship, of course. He can’t manipulate a ridiculous amount of it, but he can do a pretty fair amount of it all at one time, and he’s capable of manipulating smaller amounts separately at the same time. In some way, he’s discovered he can manipulate the property of water nearby, though the ease of doing so depends on the circumstances around him as well; for instance, he could technically make ice out from the water source nearby and send chunks of it at people, but this would be easier to do on a cold, dark night in the middle of the ocean than a hot summer day on a beach. As of the moment, he is unable to manipulate the same amount of ice as he can water (due to the fact the water he summons is not naturally in a solid state), and it’s harder to manipulate water vapor as well (though that, too, would depend on circumstance).
While he usually sticks to using water from existing sources, Raez is capable of summoning water from nothing, though this amount is much more miniscule compared to what he could manipulate from existent sources and takes much more of his energy/effort. As such, he tries not to get himself entrapped in situations on landlocked locations.
On an off-hand and not really useful (in terms of combat) note, with his rune, Raez is able to manipulate drinks and their properties to a small extent. He cannot manipulate unsafe drinks/liquids, such as blood, oil, etc. (please do not drink blood and oil. Ugh). With this fun bit, he can make drinks magically “disappear” and then “appear again”, and there’s quite a bit of prank capability in it in general. However, he can’t create drinks yet, other than perhaps a bit of drinking water with a lot of concentration and such, unfortunately for anyone on his crew who might want magic whiskey.
*Backstory: Unfortunately for whoever mans the newspaper of this world, not much is known about Eas’s history and he never mentions it anyways. Unlike what most pirates are supposed to be like, though, the Navy retains no records of him. It would probably be safe to assume that he’s been in criminal-related activities for quite a while, especially in piracy, since a fairly young age…and that his history was not composed of happiness and rainbows.
Crush/Shippable: None at the moment, and sure, though I’d like for it to have actual development and stuff. Once again, I warn that I suck at shipping .
*Other: All Hail the Captain of Toothpaste and General Health/Welfare!

@Galaxian, accepted! However, if you still wanted to go for the Solis Captain instead, I think you should be fine to take that XD

@Rune - Okie! I edited it to accommodate the Southern Cardinal form again. Hopefully I didn't miss any spots xD.

Name: Timor Raspith
^Nickname: The Cardinal of the West, Notch, Notch Ear
Gender: Male
^Age: 21
Rune: None yet (maybe he'll steal one in the future?)
Region: West
Appearance: Short and very thin, with shaggy, unevenly cut brown hair, dark eyes, tanned skin and a notch out of his left ear. His ears are also a bit larger than usual, and tend to stand out, both having multiple earrings in them.
Clothing Preference: He generally wears shades of brown, with gold embellishments. Tall dark boots, light brown pants, a white shirt under a brown vest would be something he'd wear often, sometimes with a brown coat with gold trim and a matching hat, if be was trying to look impressive.
Personality: He's a bit cocky and quick to anger. Very prideful, and will not bow down to anyone. Somewhat snarky as well. He takes care of his own, unless they let him down or betray him. While he dislikes the Classari, the only time he ever really made moves against them was when they attacked his crew. He feels no loyalty to anyone, and won't go out of his way to help you.
^Weapon: Knifes and an assortment of guns
Ship: Caligo
Spot: Cardinal of the West
Rune: None yet
Backstory: Timor started out as a poor orphan boy, but he had plans to be more. He would slip aboard pirate ships when they docked and scope them out, figuring out how they worked and (occasionally) swiping a trinket or two if no one saw him. Then the day came when he stole his first ship. Him and a 'crew' of misfits and thieves manned the pitiful excuse for a ship, but somehow made it work. They started small, Timor testing not willing to risk what little he had right off the bat, but as time went on, they got richer.
He was eventually able to replace his glorified raft with a ship he attacked and boarded at sea, and, with a vessel that more suited his needs, he became much braver.
He would fight anyone who came his way, pirate, Classari or fisherman, and eventually, claimed the title of Cardinal of the West.
Crush/Shipable: Open!
Other: Doesn't get along well with the other Cardinals, as he's stolen from them or their ships before.

Name: Jeanie Robins
*Nickname{s}: Jean, JeeJee
Gender: Female
Age {15 or up please}: 20
*Rune {if any}: None yet
Region {What area of the world are they from? And what Cardinal do they fall under}: North
Appearance {Pictures accepted}: Pretty and athletic, with soft features, sun-kissed skin and light brown hair that barely brushes her shoulders. Her eyes are a brownish hazel, and she wears light makeup, if any.
Clothing Preference: Dresses for comfort and movement above all else. Usually wears tight pants and a lose, flowy top, boots, and sometimes a few skirts and belts to top it all off. Generally seen with a satchel full of writing tools and a book. Generally also wears a cholker and earrings.
Personality: Kind, cheerful and gentle. She's an adventurous spirit who cares more about the journey than the reward. She joined the porates to see the world and document its secrets. Very well-read and well mannered, she stands out among most pirates, but is very loyal to her cremated, who she considers family. She is a peacemaker, rather than a fighter, and prefers words to swords. Her kind and fair nature, as well as her intelligence and ability to read and do quick math, makes her a good choice for quartermaster. She also tends to keep a lot of pets, as animals migrat to her calm aura, and so she is often surrounded by birds, monkeys and other creatures of the like.
*Weapon{s}: Occasionally a sword, but doesn't use it often
Ship: Seabelle
Spot {Cook, navigator, etc}: Quartermaster
*Rune Powers {see "Rune" section of the main page}: None yet
*Backstory: Jeanie was a proper, well-bred girl from a respected family....until she caught sight of a ship that promised adventure. She left her dresses and suitors straight away to go out on the sea and catch a glimpse of the world beyond. Little more is known about her past.
Crush/Shippable?: OPEN!
*Other: Also plays a few instruments and sings for the crew's entertainment

Name: Maggie Trinkett
*Nickname{s}: Mags, though I wouldn't suggest using it to her face
Gender: F
Age {15 or up please}: 22
*Rune {if any}: none yet
Region {What area of the world are they from? And what Cardinal do they fall under}: Do the Classari have a region? If so, South
Appearance {Pictures accepted}: Tanned skin, bluegreen eyes and long golden hair, Maggie is a little over average height, with an athletic and fairly muscular build due to nearly constant workouts and training. Her pretty features are marred by a constant frown that is more or less her default expression. She is never seen without weapons.
Personality: One word to describe her would be: Angry. She seems to live in a constant state of fury. She is serious, snappish and cold. She lacks most social skills and doesn't play well with others unless they are useful and follow orders. She is very focused, and doesn't do multitasking. She has a very black and white view of the world, and believes bad must be stopped by any means. Not very friendly or forgiving, and extremely dangerous at all times.
Clothing Preference: Wears clothes that are easy to move in and/or work for combat. Generally a light shirt and tight pants, knee or ankle boots and a coat or vest, along with her weapons belt. Will occasionally wear a hat as well. Almost never seen in a dress.
*Weapon{s}: Swords, guns, her fists, she's trained in most kinds of combat
Ship: Classari Ship??? Currently up for recruitment
Spot {Cook, navigator, etc}: Up for hire/recruitment right now
*Rune Powers {see "Rune" section of the main page}: None
*Backstory: Maggie was the daughter of a respected family. Then she lost her best friend to a gang of criminals. After that, she dedicated her life to bringing in anyone who breaks the law - dead or alive. She has no qualms with killing or violence, and is often feared for her ruthlessness and iron fist. She will not fall for any sob story, and will not be distracted by coin. To her, if you aren't on the right side of the law, you are an enemy of it. However, she lacks social skills and, for obvious reasons, isn't that great with people. She is also very competitive and proud.

Name: Beryl (last name unknown)
*Nickname{s}: Tba
Gender: F
Age {15 or up please}: 20 we think???
*Rune {if any}: Says she has one but it was stolen from her. Won't say more.
Region {What area of the world are they from? And what Cardinal do they fall under}: Says she's from 'the sea', but favors the East so we'll go with that....
Appearance {Pictures accepted}: Long black hair, pale skin and soft features. Her eyes are sea green and gentle, faraway look. Pretty, but often looks spaced out look to her. Her soft voice matches her looks, gentle and quiet, but a bit dreamy and a bit spacey.
Clothing Preference: Flowy dresses in shades of blue and green like the sea. Dislikes wearing shoes. Sometimes ties shells into her hair. If forced to wear something too "human" she gets grumpy. No one knows where she gets her dresses or where they go when she's done with them.
Personality: Dreamy, kind and a bit odd. She is thought to be delusional by most, as she says she is part mermaid and says the strangest things. Her odd mannerisms, such as eating only food from the sea and knowing things she shouldn't only make her more of a mystery. She however, sees nothing wrong with herself, instead saying that humans are the odd ones. While she isn't the brightest of the bunch, and lacks knowledge of some basic things, she is quite familiar with the sea, weather and aquatic life. Which is no surprise, givin her claim of being part mermaid, but the fact that she admittedly can't swim could raise a few questions.
*Weapon{s}: None, but is unbelievably lucky
Ship: Vindicta
of the main page}: She won't say (could it be like straight up water? If not then a dolphen/fish)
*Backstory: Says she is part mermaid, and no one can actually prove her wrong since no one has met her parents, though there is a strong suspicion that she's just delusional.
She tells little of her past and what she does is inconsistent and confusing, but she claims she had a rune and it was stolen from her, hence why she's on the ship. However, she doesn't seem to be in a very big hurry to find it either, content to just float around wherever the captain says.

Here's Atlantis' form!
Name: Atlantis Kailani Thalassa Zambezi
Nickname(s): Lantis, Lani, Thal, Bezi, Tempest, Nor, Northerly, The Cardinal of the North, Captain (By the crew of the Seabelle), Lady of the Northern Seas, Lady Storm, The Storm Lady, Scourge of the North; open to more nicknames.
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Rune: Rune of Weather
Region: North
Appearance: Atlantis has smooth, midnight brown skin, striking golden eyes, and a tall, lithe physique with womanly curves and lean, defined muscles. She has dark brown, curly hair that she usually wears in many thin braids or down loose. She has no scars, and wears a variety of makeup and facial paint designs in bright, rich colours, but usually gold, black, and turquoise. She has regal facial features, with high cheekbones and a strong nose.
Clothing Preference: Atlantis generally dresses in expensive, tasteful clothing more suited for royalty than a pirate captain. She usually wears many pieces of golden adornments and glittering jewels. She favours rich, jewel-toned shades of colours, but is fine with most colours. She is especially fond of colours such as gold, white, turquoise, coral, lavender, silver, and black. Her footwear is equally as fine, usually elaborately laced sandals or polished black boots.
Personality: Atlantis is a calm, determined young woman with an air of dignity and elegance to her. She’s levelheaded and highly intelligent, having had an excellent education and studied a wide variety of subjects. She’s also a master strategist, skilled diplomat, and gifted leader, able to inspire a fierce loyalty in her followers. She’s wise beyond her years, mature, and skilled at hiding her true emotions beneath an emotionless mask of infinite calm. She’s disciplined and just, and despite her reputation as a famed pirate captain, she has a good heart beneath her stoic serenity and stately dignity. But, she has a will of iron and a ruthless streak. She is not afraid to kill people or commit terrible acts to do what she believe is right. And you don’t want to get on her bad side, because she will retaliate swiftly and severely. There’s a reason she’s known as the Scourge of the North. She doesn’t trust people easily and can come off as cold, distant, and haughty.
Weapon(s): Atlantis is skilled with most weapons that pirates have access to, although she’s especially gifted with swordsmanship and wielding blades. Her favourites are rapiers and cutlasses, and she usually carries a few daggers and dirks. She also carries a pair of flintlock pistols to accompany her blades. She’s also fairly skilled with hand-to-hand combat. Finally, her biggest weapon is her rune, and she's deadly with her control of it, although it can have some serious effects if she overexerts herself.
Ship: Seabelle
Spot: Cardinal of the North
Rune Powers: The Rune of Weather is even more unpredictable and chaotic than usual runes, so Atlantis had spent a great deal of time working strenuously to master the tempestuous powers of the rune. Using it, she can sense, create, shape and manipulate weather, examples of this being he meteorological patterns, creating rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog and temperature changes. She’s not shy about using her powers, using them on a daily basis for everything from summoning storms to sink an enemy ship to blowing winds into the Seabelle’s sails. However, there are some severe weaknesses accompanying the Rune of Weather’s powers. Due to the chaotic nature of the weather rune, the powers are connected to Atlantis’ emotions and therefore they can become unstable if she gets emotional or worked up, being a danger to both enemies and her own allies. Another side effect of this is that she may not be able to control the weather after she’s caused the effects to manifest, especially if she’s worked up or physically drained from using the powers. Finally, some other weaknesses and limitations of her abilities are that they are often both physically, mentally, and emotionally draining, drawing from her own energy and emotions. If she overexerts herself, she sometimes has nosebleeds, headaches, blurred vision, nausea, unconsciousness, and in the most extreme cases, death.
Backstory: Atlantis’ past is a mysterious, closely guarded secret that very few know about, and one that has been left up to wild speculation and whispered rumours. Perhaps, as events continue to unfold, more will be revealed…
