okay some brain rot for a pirate oc that i've been talking about for months but never getting her down. so this post is me manifesting writing her finally:
Tumblr media
fc: nadia hilker
the name is signy frona vogel and she literally picks up each part of her name throughout the years
her origin story is she's part of a village that's raided by a pretty vile, rogue pirate crew (named the red mark). she's part of my droyi coire lore so she's from a very small town in the nation of strehburg, which overlooks the mended sea and is bordered by the quelled forest
a pirate crew raids the town likely after something was done to wrong them, and most of the village ends up dead or running off. signy, whose name at the time had been ola, was kidnapped by one of the crew members
the original plan had been to sell her or use her as ransom, anything to generate money. but the rogue pirate crews ship gets attacked by another crew (the saber's tooth) at sea
this crew, the largest group of pirates in droyi coire, tend to keep the other crews at bay. animosity had grown between the two crews for a while so when the first ship is attacked, ola gets taken in by the second
for a while they dont know what to do with her and she doesn't speak for a long period of time so one of the mapmaker of the crew name her himself
they call her signy and she grows up a cabin girl for most of her life
it's only later on that they realize she's an excellent navigator and put her to work
signy names herself, she picks up names from towns they stop at and people she talks to and takes a liking to
when she's 18 the largest war breaks out on the crimson sea and she eventually loses most of her crew members including her captain
they make do with the remaining of their members and over the years she begins recruiting more and more into her new crew
before she realizes she's taken on the sole of the captain of the ship and none of them seem to mind giving her the title
so she takes on the helm of captain signy and renames them the silver tide
she's a good captain to her crew and fiercely protective after all that she's seen. but when meeting her at a calm moment she's witty, charming and insanely cunning. the type of girl with a glint in her eyes and a smile that could weasel your wallet out from under your nose
