#⚓: castor morgana

OMG RUTH <333 I love her she sounds utterly adorable, Ruth’s my new best friend now 🙏🏾

Ruth is very sweet! And very scared because of the fact she's a stowaway (Ruth and Castor were trying to get a free ride on the ship...little do they know the ship isn't doing a regular trip lol), but she ends up looking up to MC and thinks MC is soooo cool (to her).

I'm likely going to play an MC who's mostly about the freedom of the pirate life and certainly not interested in senseless violence (though perhaps threats of violence). Definitely low on the ruthlessness scale. Which RO would be most interested in an MC of that persuasion?

Oh! Yes, the captain's motivations can vary and will be a choice made in the story. They can do it for the money, glory, for thrill of the violence, following in their parents footsteps, revenge, and more.

I think the best RO for a captain with low ruthlessness would be Castor, as they are a stowaway and their life actually relies on the captain's kindness. Second would be S.

hellooooo!! i cannot put into words how excited i am for thiss if!! i had a question, if youre cool with scenario asks, but i saw that it was mentioned that Gaelin and MC are co-dependent, sorta.

How would the other ROs react if MC needed to check in with Gaelin before going through with something? Like, asking them their opinions of the other ROs to their faces or asking Gaelin to tag along to what the ROs hoped would be a private moment (but could beleftopen to interpertation)

helloooo! and I'm excited that you're excited! I am cool with scenario asks! :))

Since Gaelin is MC's advisor, that's sort of canon in a way haha but in other instances would be interesting.

Morgan: would get pissed, to be quite honest. for one, they'd think MC is an adult and should be independent enough to make their own decisions without having to check in with Gaelin. If this is in a romance stage, Morgan would hate to see the captain prioritizing Gaelin especially when it has to do with speaking to them during a private moment. Morgan also doesn't shy away from telling people how it is, so they'd definitely have some choice words about it. Morgan already makes fun of Gaelin and MC for how close they are, and for how high-strung Gaelin is, so it's just another thing to poke fun at.

S: S would be a bit confused at the dynamic. They're quite a literal and straight-forward person and they don't understand a lot of social nuances when it comes to humans. They'll just blurt out: "Why are you asking Gaelin?" I think they'd find themselves annoyed but wouldn't know why. When they're talking to MC, they're talking to MC alone. If it's in the case that they brought Gaelin to a private conversation, S would refuse to speak. S is very protective of their boundaries and what they want. They're very clear and direct, it's part of their upbringing.

A: A is too polite to say anything outwardly, but they'd pull MC aside later and sort of beat around the bush a little, not wanting to seem like they're making a big deal of nothing. It is ingrained in A not to step on any toes, and they're a bit of a people pleaser due to how they were raised. If it bothered A, MC wouldn't know until later tbh!

Castor: Castor is a bit of the same with Ruth and vice versa so they'd understand but still be annoyed by it. Still, they'd let it slide but not without witty remarks to at least let MC and Gaelin know they disapprove lol. But they understand the need when you're close to someone like that.

How old is the MC and the casts?

Right now I'm thinking 28 for MC.

As for the rest of the cast:

A is 32.

Gaelin is 30.

Morgan is 30.

Castor is 25.

Merfolk don't count the years but rather lunar cycles but that would be a lot lol physically they're 26.

Ruth is 14

How would the ROs react to a vulgar/crass captain?

A and Castor: since both of them have noble backgrounds, you would be making them blush more often than not. They'd get flustered easily and not know how to react, since polite society doesn't lend well to crassness and vulgarity. Castor is a bit more used to it since running away from home, but they're still uppity about it lol

Morgan: Morgan has a foul mouth I don't think MC can beat it. They find all that funny.

S: wouldn't understand. Well, it depends, but half the time they wouldn't get the joke/suggestion. You'd have to explain it to them majority of the time so you'd honestly get confusion a lot as a reaction.

Gaelin: is a very serious person and would roll their eyes or just react with disgust/disappointment. It's funny; they never grew up in the nobility but they would blend in really well. (They're a brick wall character)(hence why their nickname is 'Straightlace')
