#meri merdoc

[bleeding--scales]

a comprehensive guide on the crew of HER DARLING SCORNED.

the captain: meri merdoc. the ruthless leader and driving force behind the entire crew. she has a flawed moral compass and a refined taste for the more decadent and perverted leisures in life. won't hesitate to kiss you. won't hesitate to kill you. wildshapes into an orca.

the first mate: cass haven. the steadying balance to meri's violent behavior. stoic, unyielding, and ceaselessly loyal to those she trusts. a cleric of auril. upon first glance, one might mistake her quiet nature for benevolence, but she couldn't care less about what happens to you. wildshapes into a leopard seal.

the navigator: nerida shore. not much is known about their life or their past, and they prefer to keep it that way. they're headstrong and dangerously clever, sharper than a dagger to your throat. has one good eye, but damn, it's a good eye. is a known cheat, and is banned from all game nights. wildshapes into an anglerfish.

the boatswain: akir inder. resident weirdo and freak. his warlock patron is a titanically powerful sea beast. the crew is honestly unsure where his loyalties lie, but he's capable and almost never has a problem getting dirty. spends the most time with seshadri. wildshapes into a giant squid.

the surgeon: seshadri. hails from a small, remote village. philosophically opposes everything the hippocratic oath stands for. sadistic, unfathomably curious, and meticulous. will often use prisoners and stowaways to benefit his research. shockingly good at dancing. wildshapes into a sea snake.

the stewardess: silver-eye cutlass. to friends, she is called lass. was plucked out of the trash as a young child and given a home on the ship. is almost unanimously adored by everyone onboard. maintains order and routine amongst the crew, and happily involves herself with violence, should the need arise. is romantically partnered with bayard. wildshapes into a shrimp.

the cook: delmar. is often found lounging around half-sober. when he's not napping, he spends much of his free-time tinkering with new recipes and innovating technological gadgets. unfortunately, he also suffers from frequent bouts of sea sickness. loves arm wrestling (he always wins). wildshapes into a swordfish.

the gunner: thal havelock. former rich boy who was fed up with the noble lifestyle. an ostentatious flirt. in a rivalry with pera to see who can be the most annoying bastard on the ship. is the best at cards. laid-back, adventurous, and hates tedium. wildshapes into a barracuda.

the musician: bayard dubois. the fruitiest guy you know. adores making new friends, but will also backstab you faster than you can say bonjour! (listen, i know french doesn't exist in d&d. bear with me.) is the worst at cards. silly, carefree, and always itching to be a little kiss-ass. wildshapes into a sea otter.

the officer: zale sirena. the middle sibling of the sirenas. stone-faced and intimidating, but not generally quick to anger. a woman of few words. asexual. would really prefer to be napping right now. rarely drinks alcohol. wildshapes into a bull shark.

the carpenter: pera sirena. the youngest sibling of the sirenas. flagrant asshole and instigator of bullshit. it's an easy mistake to assume she has a big ego, but really she just adores pissing people off, and will wield condescension to achieve this. probably the laziest crew member. is a bigger alcoholic than the captain. wildshapes into a hammerhead shark.

the helmsman: anteia sirena. the oldest sibling of the sirenas. mature. does her best to be a prime role-model for her sisters, but often fails. is likely the kindest member of her darling scorned. holds fury in her heart, but is often too soft to enact this, so she lives vicariously through the actions of the others. is hopelessly in love with meri, but it's unfortunately one-sided. able to be gentle, but won't cry for you when you die. wildshapes into a mako shark.

[bleeding--scales]

name; captain meri merdoc. age; 37 years. race; levistus tiefling. class; fighter/druid (circle of the sea). gender; cis, she/her. whereabouts; sailing around the sea of swords or getting drunk at any number of port cities. height; 5'10''. weight; 195lb. aroma; sea salt, bourbon and leather. weaknesses; a pretty lady and a bottle of mead.

sailors and fishermen alike share whispers of her fables. her name never meets lips, her infamy never given face. they know not who she is, only the sunken corpses of ships left behind in her wake. a ravenous onslaught of teeth and fins, blood mixed with the ocean spray, countless souls lost to the waves.

her motivations are clear. a self-proclaimed defender of the seas. cutting down those who seek to bloody her waters for selfish gain. for years now, the fishermen have not known peace. very few brave her domain, and fewer still return home.

fame and fortune hold no glimmer in her eyes. she seeks her treasure in pounds of flesh. and god help anyone who stands in her way.

the writer.

my name is addi! they/them please. i'm 25+ yrs of age. est timezone.

the rules.

i do not want minors following or interacting please.

able to do one-liners and multi-para.

will only write with mutuals, but anyone is welcome to send asks.

personal or non-roleplay blogs are welcome to follow! but i will only follow back blogs i wish to write with.

i am crossover friendly and oc friendly. i will probably only write with crossovers that make sense with my character. (ie; other fantasy settings)

activity might be inconsistent! if we have a thread together i make it a point to reply often, but life might get busy :)

i am willing to write nsfw (gore, smut, etc) and will tag any content as such. if i need to add a content tag for anyone please let me know!

the roleplay.

i love plotting and will happily brainstorm an idea before we commit to any roleplay. but i can also improvise! tossing me a curve ball every now and then is lots of fun, too!

i am a hopeless romantic and adore shipping but i won't do so without chemistry and proper context between our characters. that being said, platonic relationships are incredibly fun to explore. (or antagonistic relationships!) i am willing to do all sorts of writing. let's have fun! :)

this character was originally made to fit into the baldur's gate verse, but overtime they sort of just evolved into a general d&d character! they can fit very easily into a baldur's gate plot but that's not necessary in the slightest.

this blog primarily centers around meri merdoc, the captain of this merry bunch of buccaneers. other crew members will likely make an appearance, and i am OPEN to roleplaying any of crew with you, but please make that clear when writing! otherwise, i will assume you are interacting with meri.

it is not necessary to be familiar with all the crew members to write with me! i will provide context in writing. i will not assume you have all the characters memorized.

i do write on discord :) it will be available to people i end up consistently writing with.

boundaries are important! you are free to block or stop writing with me for any reason, but if there's something we can possibly discuss and work out then please just let me know :) i'm very open to communication over anything, nothing is too big or too small.

the art.

all the art on this blog is made by me unless otherwise specified.

i have no issues with people reblogging my art, but please don't reblog or like roleplay posts or non-art posts if you are not a roleplay blog.

i love making art of roleplays and of other people's muses but i won't do so unless i have express permission! i may ask permission myself but feel free to mention it if you want :)

just like the roleplay, all art will have content tags if i deem it necessary! and art posts in general will have a tag as well.

if you're interested in seeing more of my art i post here! absolutely no obligation to look or follow, it's just here if anyone is curious.

will add more rules as i think of them! thank you for reading.
