Ok, here are my characters (I figured it might help ya'll decide who you want to be with).
Name: Her real name is unknown, but she goes by "Keiko". No one knows where she got this name from. Rank: Captain Age: 29 Race: White, appears to have some Asian influences though Height: 5'4" Appearance: Keiko is a very puzzling character, physically. Her appearance would lead one to think that she has a strain of albinism in her, given her pale complexion and platinum blonde, nearly white, hair and blue eyes. This is believed by some of her crew given the fact that other than the coloring of her various features, the woman has the distinctive traits of one who is of Asian descent, including the epicanthic fold of the eyes. Little is known, though, of how she reached the Caribbean, or if she is albino, how she manages to keep herself healthy. Some have theories, though, especially given that she is rarely outside without her wide-brimmed hat... It is an odd thing, though, to see a woman so exotic in the almost normal clothing that she wears- normal being trousers, belts, thigh-high boots, the flouncy shirts of the time, topped with a vest and a jacket. Rarely does she step outside without her jacket, though. Personality: Keiko can best be described as... prickly. An accomplished seawoman, she is highly confident in her abilities on the open ocean, and indeed, can perform most of the tasks that she assigns her own men. She generally leaves them to it, however, judging that she has "more important" things to do, until she finds that they're doing it wrong. EXCEPT in battle, when she becomes VERY involved. Despite having an explosive temper, she was elected as Captain and remains the leader of the Daemon Star due to her decisiveness and confidence in battle, her abilities and hardiness as a sailor, and her fierce loyalty to her men (and women). For example, she once chased down a Royal Navy vessel for a week to rescue a captured member of her crew. Also notable, however, she is a veritable harpy if you do manage to piss her off (which is not difficult to do), and does not hesitate to mete out punishment accordingly. In this regard she is harsh and unforgiving, at best. The last government men who crossed her were found drawn and quartered on an island, their various pieces hanging from a tree with a note sewn into the skin of one to send better officers next time. The woman is a workaholic who enjoys her work. Weapons: Keiko carries at all times a Chinese Dao sword (type of broadsword), a stiletto, and two flintlock pistols, always loaded, until use. History: Keiko's is a history shrouded in mystery. Not many know from whence she came, but many speculate and turn to the far East. Since she appeared in the Caribbean in 1710 she has made a name for herself, causing her to be ranked with her male peers as among the most ruthless in the vicinity. Different names abound for her, including the Siren (due to her exotic beauty) and some even speculate that she is a witch, or the wife of Neptune. She does nothing to quell the rumors, of course, given that they only help her, as even certain Naval captains are afraid to engage her in battle. Indeed, it only seems to help in this case, that she seems downright bloodthirsty in her attempts on various merchant vessels. Ship: Daemon Star. It is a Brig of about 120 ft. in length, 25 cannons, can reach up to 11 knots in prime conditions, and can run with a crew of about 12 to 16. The most notable thing about this ship, besides its Captain, is its appearance. The figurehead is carved to look like a woman perched/straddling the front of the ship with. Her clothes are tattered and torn, and she wears a wicked grin. But most notable are the demonic wings that clearly adorn her shoulders. And also, the sails are crimson. Keiko's colors are that of a black field, in the middle of which is a grinning demon skull under a blanket of stars.
