Captain Stede Bonnet, AKA The Gentleman Pirate: The inexperienced pirate Captain. Though his heart is forever in the right place, it is his actions that tend to get him into trouble. You have been a part of his rag-tag crew for the better part of three months and he has yet to fully come to grips with his responsibilities of being your Captain.

Captain Edward Teach, AKA Blackbeard: Few have gotten close enough to know the man behind the legend that is Blackbeard. Fewer have lived long enough to tell the tale. Fickle and temperamental, he has yet to accept himself for who he is rather than who he's been masquerading as.

Israel Hands, First Mate to Blackbeard: Heartless and brutal, he is the loyal right hand to his Captain. He has no time for anything or anyone else, his time already too well spent on protecting Blackbeard from himself.

Frenchie, Bard of the Revenge: He joined the crew the same time as you and has been by your side ever since. With an easy laugh and an even easier smile, there are very few times you have seen him bothered or feeling down about something. Whether this is because nothing truly bothers him or because he does not allow himself to feel anything deeply enough to have a reaction is not yet known.

John Feeney, AKA Wee John: A gentle giant if ever there was one. He has always been a protector of sorts to you and the rest of the crew. His frustrated exterior is very rarely how he truly feels. For someone so large he has no problem in allowing himself to be delicate, a trait you admire greatly.

Buttons, Resident Bird Guy: He has an eerie ability to sense weather changes before they happen. Despite his many eccentricities, he seems to mean well. He is rarely seen without a seagull by his side (usually Karl).

Jim Jimenez, Expert Knife Thrower and Enthusiast of Violence: Very, very little is known about them. If they wanted you to know something about them, you would know by now. Misgender them and you will face the consequences (probably a knife to the face).

Oluwande Boodhari, Keeper of the Peace and Conscience of the Crew: He is the only one who is able to truly get close to and understand Jim. Often the voice of reason amongst the crew, he tends to use himself as a buffer between the frustrations of his crewmates and those in power.

Lucius Spriggs, the Artist of the Revenge: As snippy as he can be, his heart is in the right place. As the only other literate member of the crew, he has begrudgingly taken on the role of Scribe for Captain Bonnet (secretly taking pride in the recognition of his neat penmanship). Life is not kind to those as delicate as he.

Black Pete, a Lover of Art: The few times he is not by Lucius' side, he wishes he was. He would and will go to great lengths to protect the people he cares about. Whatever feelings get along the way are simply collateral damage in the realm of war.

Roach, Gourmet Chef: Rarely seen without a weapon of some sort in his hands, his food is one of the truly luxurious things about life on the Revenge... Just don't ask him what the meat is in any given dish. You don't want to know.

The Swede, the Nordic Angel: Although he understands very little, he accepts nearly everything. He wouldn't know what prejudice was if it slapped him in the face. This does not stop him from asking stupid questions. If anything, it helps him.

Karl, Seagull: Squawk.

Y/N, Fallen from Honor: Excommunicated from your family, you have chosen the only life that provides some semblance of freedom in 1717... piracy. With a heavy heart, you find yourself surrounded by people who seem to mean well but whether or not their intentions are good remains to be seen. Your day to day ensemble is a dark grey poet's shirt that hangs loosely over your body, sable brown trousers tucked into knee high leather boots, and a gold chain around your neck. Your hair has been cropped short so as not to get in the way, though when it does you have a strip of leather to tie it back with.
