APinchOfSalt/Nadirah
Nadirah.
PC character for a "A pinch of Salt", she is so beautiful she's oft been mistaken for a passing goddess.
This may seem like a good thing, sometimes it is, it's also, very frequently, not! Her life can briefly be described as a series of those small moments that make life special, followed by a ten ton yeddim running in to wreck things.
The ten ton yeddim took the form of house Cynis Slavers, who burnt her little village in the neck to the ground and took it's populace as slaves. Noticing the slaves incredible beauty, the first mate claimed her as his own. Frustrated and outraged by her captivity, Nadirah eventually strangled him with his own belt, freed the other slaves, and led them into bloody revolt against their chapters. At which point she felt the touch of the unconquered sun upon her brow, tendrils of essence screamed into existence above her head in the form of a hawk, and the deck bleached beneath her deck.
Needless to say, the slavers were no match for a very very annoyed Zenith Caste and a bunch of equally annoyed slaves. With her ...interesting display of leadership, Nadirah found herself with a ship, a crew of runaway slaves and no idea what to do next. Thinking that supplies might be a good idea to resupply she and her trusty first mate Kaleus set course for Abalone...which is where APinchOfSalt begins.
