Here, guys, I’m again drawing my own characters. Here is Neil and Sam, bffs, fighting for their lives, but with humor and positive thoughts, because as long as they are together, as long as they have each other’s back, as long as they are bros to each other, they will be just fine and they will win 😌

And this building behind them — this is not London or Paris, not Rome or Madrid — this my lovely Kharkiv, Ukraine, the Kharkiv Railway Station, workers of which have saved so many lives since the start of the Russian invasion into my country. I am not good at drawing backgrounds, especially buildings, but I’m proud to draw this very important building here, and I hope that very soon all the people who were forced to leave their homes (somebody no longer even had homes anymore then or anything but the clothes on their backs because of the missiles), their lives behind to save themselves and their families, will be able to return, to step onto the platform of this station, finally being able to be back at home.

In the sea, there’s a small gang of pirates always on the hunt for treasure. After finding a loot that holds powerful weapons/jewelry they refuse to let them go. Sometimes the treasures they find get them into circumstances and whoever offers the best price has them on their side. If they fall back on the promise to the crew or do something that doesn’t agree with them, they switch sides. After all, there’s no honor among thieves.

They are aware of the magic of the Seven, Chernabog, the Princesses, and many others and had no intention of taking them but do so when the right price is offered. At first they’re bent on stealing the Maiden’s powers but then become their allies once they find out the true intentions. They still loot and steal, what do you expect, but they will come whenever they’re needed.

Captain: Natalie Doveenstien

The only woman aboard the ship and it’s captain. She’s the daughter of an influential man back home but her heart yearned for adventure. She would often stare out at the sea as a young girl and dreamed of what a life of thrills would be like instead of the stuffy life her future would be. She did meet a boy who washed ashore of her island home and they became friends. As they grew older they drifted apart due to social classes. It broke her heart to be separated from her friend but there was no choice. One night, the island is under attack by pirates and she’s one of the two people taken hostage. She spends some time aboard the ship, learning about piracy and becoming talented with a sword. She then stages a mutiny with the hostage from her home, and other captives and becomes the new captain.

When the other captives wanted to leave the ship afterwards, she stops at a nearby island and lets them go. Only one person stays behind and she builds a new crew from people wanting to leave old lives behind or looking for adventure.

Magical Object: The Swifty Blade

A cutlass sword that can cut through any material. It’s said that the sword was used by a Pirate King to free lost souls from the Locker. The sword chooses who wields it and its owner won’t get harmed by its razor sharp blade.

Quartermaster: Dylan Southwest

A man who doesn’t remember much of his past. The earliest memory he can recall is washing ashore on an island with pieces of a shipwreck. He becomes friends with Natalie but they drift apart as years went on. During his childhood, he was adopted by the blacksmith and learns how to make weapons. He becomes quite good at making weapons and people would pay him handsomely for customized weapons. When no one was around, he would practice using them. When pirates attacked his home, he’s the only other person, besides Natalie who becomes hostage. He quickly makes himself useful and crafts/fixes blades for the crew. They treated him a bit nicer than other hostages, since his father was once captain. He overhears the pirates telling stories of his father and realizes that piracy runs through his blood. He builds Natalie’s first sword and teaches her how to use it.

He’s the only one to stay behind after the mutiny was done. Whenever someone needs their weapon fixed, they turn to him. He even makes new ones if it’s beyond repair.

Magical Object: The Obsidian Dagger

A dagger with the blade made purely of obsidian. It’s said that it was wielded by a legendary pirate captain. Those who wield this dagger can either create a new blade from a single slash or kill anyone with a single stab. It’s only up to the user to decide what the fate is.

Medic/Boatswain: Asher Caspian

He spent a good portion of his life on the sea. His father was a pirate while his mother was a woman he met for a one night stand. When Asher was born, his mother gave him the choice to see their son. Throughout his early childhood, he lived with his mom, only seeing his dad every once in a while. Whenever he did visit, he told him stories of his adventures. When he was ten, she died of an illness and he came to live with his dad on the ship. He becomes interested in medicine in his early teens and starts practicing it. It wasn’t long until he became the medic on board. However, a magical being attacked the ship one night. Rumor is that the captain hadn’t pulled his end of the bargain, and a lot of people lost their lives. He was one of the only people to survive the attack.

He was picked up by another crew and began traveling from crew to crew, captain to captain. When he crosses paths with Natalie and Dylan, he ends up liking their company and decides to stay. For good

Magical Object: The Skeleton’s Medallion

A golden medallion with a skull on it. Whoever wears the medallion will turn into a skeleton in the moonlight. They will go beyond human limits as long as they stay in the moonlight. They’ll be very difficult to kill as long as the moon shines.

Master Gunner: Silas Ager

A man who lived through many struggles. His parents died when he was a baby and when he was little, he captured and sold off into slavery. He bounced from noble house to noble house until he’s captured by pirates. He earned respect from the crew for fighting a crewman and becomes Cabin Boy. As time goes on, he climbs the ranks, becoming captain of a crew of his own. He lived on the terror he struck into many of people, including his very own crew. Whenever anyone saw his ship, they knew it was too late. It wasn’t long before his blade pierced the captain’s chest. However it all would change, when another pirate crew snuck aboard his ship and killed a majority of the crew, leaving him alive. He felt fear for the first time in years. He spent time drifting on his boat, trying to forget the eyes of his crew’s killer. He is snapped out of his daze by his ship crashing into rocks.

He is rescued by Asher and joins Natalie’s crew. He wants to be captain again but he’ll wait until he can mentally recover from the effects of seeing his own crew die.

Magical Object: The Sea’s Heart

A heart shaped necklace that can give the wearer abilities of the sea. They can change their appearance to survive the salty waters and control its creatures. If you blow into the top of the necklace, you summon the Kraken to do your bidding.

Navigator/Helmsman: Lo Hawks

Another man who grew up on the seas. He spent his childhood as Cabin Boy before getting promoted. One night during a storm, the ship is struck by lightning and everyone abandons ship. They all wash ashore of a desert island. A lot of the crew didn’t like Lo, and the ones that did died in the sunken ship. Without his knowledge, they crafted an escape raft and left Lo behind with a pistol with a single shot left. Lo spent three days on the island on his own, surviving on the local game, and alcohol, with rum becoming his favorite. He spots a couple of sea creatures and uses them to escape. Some say he used sharks, others say dolphins, while some claim it was the Kraken itself— when in reality it was sea turtles.

He quickly becomes a laughing stock among the pirates and joins Natalie’s crew, wanting to be at sea again. His nature makes everyone question the choice to have him stay aboard but it all goes away when he sails them to safety.

Magical Object: The Compass of the Lost

A compass that points to the direction of the user’s wants. Most people see this as the most useless thing ever but those who can accurately read the directions can see where they want to go.

Sailing Master/Carpenter: Sam Robinson

A man that wants more in life. He spent his childhood with his mother, helping out in the family’s inn. His father abandoned his family when he was little so he has no memories of him. When he was a child, pirates rampaged through his home one night, taking him hostage and killing his mother in front of his names. He quickly learns that for his survival, he must become a pirate. He’s made Cabin Boy but must be watched as he will fight anyone who he feels is threatening him. He spends a lot of time studying the stars and starts navigating through the stars. When this skill is discovered he becomes the Sailing Master. He received a lot of abuse, and almost died from the crew. One day, when the boat was docked at a port for supplies, he escapes.

He meets Natalie and offers up his services. He’s very tense at first about being around them but he sees the difference between this crew and the last; respect.

Magical Object: The Freedom Earring

When one wears this earring, the can manipulate gravity around them or on them. They can even create a portal to another location by simply whispering the coordinates or the name of the place
