Megumi Tsukiko. The Stormbreaker. Her typical mode of dress is a very intricate outfit of almost royal sensibilities. A silken blouse, pants and overskirt cover most of her frame, with bits of leather padding covering strategic points at the throat and hips, and a wide leather belt about her waist. A wide slashing saber is attached to this belt, hanging from its scabbard behind her. Black and dark grey predominate the color pallate of the outfit, with beautiful silver and gold embroidering in oddly familiar patterns. Her armor, when she wears it, is of the same pattern and colors, looking very much like a slightly larger, mechanical form of her usual uniform. Her overall frame is slight and graceful, with an often crafty and thoughtful expression on her face.

Ryoujal strikes a very imposing figure, standing easily ten feet tall with deep bronze skin and with muscle covering every square inch of himself, if it wasn't for his gentle face, he would appear to be quite the monster. He wears his blonde hair rather long, flowing down in a messy little waterfall which is a bit unusual for an islander and unlike many of his home, he has no tattoos of any kind. His clothing is rather minimal due to growing up on a tropical island and having a rather marvelous physique. He wears a pair of sandals, a white wrap about his waist forming a sort of shorts/kilt article of clothing, a red sash with a big bronze buckle with a fiery dragon imposed in front of the sun.

Lady Syn looks very pale for a westerner. She claims its a result of her time imprisoned, the same as her lost memories. Though she'd probably blend in on the Threshold or the Blessed Isle. She fair skin, long blond hair that flows down to her thighs, and an eye the color of the sea itself. The other eye is covered by an eyepatch. She regularlly dresses as a ships hand with her hair kept back by a bandana. Around her neck resides a simple necklace with a polished stone for a pendant. The loose shirt she wears may cover the signiture gold of her breastplate but not existence. A long coat covers her daiklaive but she takes no precautions in hiding the straight sword she received from someone before a bar fight started. It usually sits strapped to her back crossed over the Daiklaive. She also carries a whip at her side.<br>Carrying:<br>Catrina

Red has the look of someone who has walked long distances across the desert and not seen a razor or water in a couple of days. And despite all of this he gives off the look of a handsome stranger, not a street bum down on his luck. Bronzed skin and sun bleached hair with streaks of brown make up his coloration. An old worn hat dons his head to protect his eyes and keep what colors left in his hair form bleaching  out. The rest of his wardrobe is simple travelers fair and a long duster to cover it all up. On his hips he wears two wide leather belts that holster weapons on each of his hips. On his left is an ornate flame piece, fashioned in bronze with flowing design down its barrel. On the right is a weapon similar to a flame piece in looks but of a much more complicated and older design. As a way to carry all his gear he has an old leather bag slung across his shoulder.

Yes, I have very literal pages. Pirates Game here. Set in the West.

The Characters

Ryoujal strikes a very imposing figure, standing easily ten feet tall with deep bronze skin and with muscle covering every square inch of himself, if it wasn't for his gentle face, he would appear to be quite the monster. He wears his blonde hair rather long, flowing down in a messy little waterfall which is a bit unusual for an islander and unlike many of his home, he has no tattoos of any kind. His clothing is rather minimal due to growing up on a tropical island and having a rather marvelous physique. He wears a pair of sandals, a white wrap about his waist forming a sort of shorts/kilt article of clothing, a red sash with a big bronze buckle with a fiery dragon imposed in front of the sun.

Red has the look of someone who has walked long distances across the desert and not seen a razor or water in a couple of days. And despite all of this he gives off the look of a handsome stranger, not a street bum down on his luck. Bronzed skin and sun bleached hair with streaks of brown make up his coloration. An old worn hat dons his head to protect his eyes and keep what colors left in his hair form bleaching out. The rest of his wardrobe is simple travelers fair and a long duster to cover it all up. On his hips he wears two wide leather belts that holster weapons on each of his hips. On his left is an ornate flame piece, fashioned in bronze with flowing design down its barrel. On the right is a weapon similar to a flame piece in looks but of a much more complicated and older design. As a way to carry all his gear he has an old leather bag slung across his shoulder.

The Used to Be

Sadly, these characters fell in battle against a group of Abyssals under command of the Silver Prince.

Orillian is a powerfully-built man obviously familiar with heavy labor on the sea. Over his lean but muscular frame is usually a dark blue sailor's greatcoat, a brown leather blacksmithing apron, or frequently (when distracted from one duty to another) both. A small mass of salt-battered, curly, dark blue hair rises up from his head and flows into a beard that looks vaguely like the result of a week forgetting to shave, framing a rugged face with wide but squinty eyes that suggest either inviting warmth or burning craziness. Then again, maybe a little of both. Really, just think Hugh Jackman.

Notable NPCs

There's a mysterious Eclipse in the Coral Archipelago that seems to wield quite an amount of influence and owns a fleet of ships. That's about as much as the Solars can guess. So far, he seems to have been a helpful acquaintance, favours in exchange for favours, but the Solars really don't know much about him at all.

Long Squid Silver is a Lunar. Well, he probably has another name, but he hasn't seen fit to disclose it and the Solars have to call him something. Long Squid Silver seems appropriate given the number of tentacles that adorn his face and his silver flesh. He is somewhat reminiscent of a squid. He is also a very powerful Lunar pirate that has been terrorising the Western seas for a while. They know he's tough enough to beat any of them in a fair fight, perhaps even all of them at the same time, has a magical pirate ship and a nasty tentacled pet. He's also made the Solars his personal prey, and he's an excellent predator. All in all, someone to watch out for.

Watcher of Endless Tides is a Fae that was basically assigned to protect Megumi's previous incarnation's vessel. He's apparently done a good job and has vanished now that his duty is over. However, it's certain that they will meet again and the Fae has even made it a point of mentioning such.

Eos Atitha is one of the most infamous pirates of the West with a very strong vendetta against the Guild. And they've met her in an 'enemy of my enemy' kind of way and hence are tenuous friends. The possibility of an alliance has been dangled and Atitha is not opposed to it. It remains to be seen how this will develop.
