–Claims to have killed a naval ship's entire crew after he loaded the cannons with cutlery when they finally ran out of ammunition.

Her hair is dark and short. The left side has been shaved off but it has started to grow in a bit, so it’s fuzzy. The right side goes down to her chin and has lots of small braids throughout it. She’s 5’7 and very fit. She has a tattoo in her left side that starts at the base of her neck and goes down to her forearm. The top is swirling lines. These lines go down and surround a skull head on her bicep. The rest of the tattoo are short thick lines that cross and surround each other as they go down her arm. She has a signet ring on one hand and two thin gold rings on the other. She has about three piercings in each ear.
Typical outfit: Either long sleeve or sleeveless white shirt with a drawstring around the neckline. She wears a thin black corset over her shirt with straps that go over her shoulders. Black breeches that are a little flowy with a tapered ankle. Black boots. Sometimes wears a long blackish-greyish coat that has patterns of small triangles along the openings. It doesn’t have and buttons so she uses a brown belt to hold it together.

Anyways, here's our captain

Name: Damian 'crow eyes.' de Mosquera
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Open to shipping? (If yes, include who they're attracted to): Yes, mostly men, sometimes women.
Position on ship: Captain
Appearance: Tall and tanned with olive skin and dead black eyes. His hair is wavy and dark, kept short for convenience, and his chin is covered in a perpetual five o'clock shadow. There are quite a few scars on his body, living at sea is pretty dangerous, but the most notable are the pale one slashing across his throat, the litany of scars on his fingers, and the thick mass of mangled skin from the top of his right hip to the bottom of his ribs. He has a single tattoo, 7 'stitches' that reach two-thirds of the way across the scar on his throat.
Typical outfit: While on the ship, Damian tends to be minimalistic. A plain white shirt with the drawstring undone, rolled up to the elbow and tucked into loose black trousers that cinch around the calf. No shoes or hat. When going onto land or meeting new people (be it crew members or captives) he tends to dress up a little more in a large black jacket with silver embroidery on the hems, a worn tricornered hat, boots, and a large belt. He constantly wears a single gold earring.
Weaponry: A sword on his waist and a pistol on his hip. He usually has a musket slung across his back too, secured by a strap across his chest.
Personality (+ is a positive trait, - is a negative one)

• Somewhat closed off
• Easily angered
• Vengeful
• Resilient
• Practically fearless
• Fiercely loyal

Likes: The sea, sailing, stars, occasionally cutting loose, getting his revenge, singing
Dislikes: Mariners, traitors, his former crew, having to open up to people, rats, storms
Fears: Fire, hurricanes, death
Why are they on the ship (just some basic backstory about how they got here): Used to be a navy officer but got betrayed by his crew and left for dead. He took some time to heal, hopped aboard the first pirate ship he could find, and sailed the seas terrorizing people ever since.
Other: An excellent marksman, squeamish about strange things

So a couple questions before we start

1. What should the shipped be named?
2. How should everyone meet? (like is the crew already together but Claude has yet to be captured? Does everyone need to get together?)

Maybe we could set it up as everyone is together, Claude is already tied up but the heist just happened, leaving room for the escape.

Also, I think the name of the ship should be up to the captain.

Good idea with how to start! And I'm not really sure what to name the ship which is why I want a little feedback.

The boat could be an old cargo ship called the Fat Siren!

Unsinkable II also works.

I like the fat siren, lol. I was thinking it would be more of a lightweight schooner though, so I'm not quite sure it fits.

Maybe the shameful god or the silverfish?

If you go to a pirate ship name generator they've got a lot of weird names lol

Yeah, I found a couple wacky ones. What do y'all think of Neptune's Whore?

Definitely

Yes I like that one
Are we going to be able to start today?

Yes, we'll start once at least 3 of us are on.

Cool!

I'm here.

Damian surveyed the room quickly, taking in the scene. He'd managed to sneak the crew up into the house with a little help from Thaddeus but it looked like their foray into the manor had finally been detected. A servant was screaming for help on the first floor, unaware that the trespassers she feared were right above her, tying up the general's son.

All they needed to do was get the brat onto the ship and make a clean getaway while the winds were high. Then he would be a little closer to his revenge and the crew could ransom the kid off for as much cash as they'd ever need. "Lydia, get him," Damian nodded towards Claude, "Out of here. Drew and I can distract the guard and loop around for the whore once you send the signal."

Lydia nodded once. "Got it." She grabbed the kid around his legs and threw him over her shoulder. "Let's go, Brown." She slipped out of the room they had been standing in and into the empty hallway. Lydia knew someone could come down the hallway any second so she pushed open a servant's door. It was barely recognizable, but she had spent six months working in a manor, not unlike this one when she was a teenager. The narrow staircase was empty and she took it up and up and up until she reached the ceiling with a wooden panel in it that didn't match the rest of the roof. She used her shoulder to push it open and stepped out into the wind on a steep roof.
