Weapon of Choice: Bow and Arrows. Mana. Daggers
Her first bow was made by her parents, she left it at their hideout before their deaths. When she escaped Tristanope she went back to her old home to retrieve it. It was made by the wood of the Junxe tree, bark light and had many carvings of varying languages. Little messages her father or mother would leave for her whenever she lost her bow. A certain parenting punishment. The very last one said something about being stronger than any sage, the words of her father before the fated day.
Relatives: Nolan Nox and Lindiwe Nox (Parents)
History:Her parents were exiled from the Kraxxian clan, so she ended up spending most of her time with them learning about the world through her father’s stories and her mother’s trainings.

History: He has been part of the crew even before Gash. Captain Roland recruited him when he was on the run from a Saoirse ‘berserking’ that killed all his village. His sons were so young, Mikael only being five years old while Cid was just a baby, and he couldn’t save his wife. That day scarred him more than just the missing leg and arm, hating any mentions of Saoirse kind in general. He had to raise Mikael and Cid all on his own on a pirate ship. Thankfully Captain Roland was more than content to help the single father.

Relatives: Karlel (Husband) (They have matching jeweled headband)
History: Sabol was just 19 when he joined Captain Roland’s crew, strapped for cash and he had no support there weren’t a lot of options. At the time, he didn’t know much about the medical field opting to working as one of his hands. He wasn’t keen on violence and struggled in a fight, Captain Roland decided to have him train under another surgeon: Jaoel (deceased). He became a great surgeon. Some say even better than Jaoel, learning a few alchemic ingredients to get by independently. Rumor has it he became one of Captain Roland’s lovers but there is no proof. His undying loyalty towards Captain Roland may have caused a few misunderstandings, and even if Sabol was his lover he will never confirm it out of respect for Captain Roland. Sabol was loyal to the end, even trying fight off the enemy that killed Captain Roland. The battle earned him the scar on his face. Since then, he has worked for Captain Connor.

These are the characters on the ship. Vicar Jal, Grace Risa, and Ranko are honorable mentions! I just haven’t built their bios since they are MIA right now. *Teary Eyed* I am a cruel author. Tapas is already yelling at me for having too many words! So I would have to create a separate character sheet for *drum rolls* MORE CHARACTERS.
