Sea-faring Adventure Int Check

Name
Ramya Moshe

Age
Twenty-two

Gender
Female

Appearance
Ramya is not overly tall which is perhaps in her favor. At most, she could be about five feet and four inches. She has a well proportioned body and an hourglass figure which she accentuates in a female twist men’s clothing that she had specially commissioned. Her skin has olive undertones, and it’s lightly tanned from the sun. A few scars mark her flesh from the hard life she’s chosen for herself.

The woman’s chocolate hair is thick and straight and extends nearly to her derriere. She rarely wears it in any way other than loose about her shoulders or in a single braid down her back. Her full brows are the same colour and arch gracefully over eyes so dark they could be black.

Her nose is is small and straight though slightly turned up at the tip. It leads to a pair of full lips that seem slightly turned up at the edges even when she isn’t smiling. Her teeth are clean and straight, and her smile is almost dazzling when she flashes it.

Familiar
Triton, a yellow-eyed, black cat with “thumbs” on each paw

Weapon(s)
A flint-lock pistol holstered at her left thigh
A schimitar at her right hip
One double-edged dagger in either boot

Ability
Shadow Manipulation

Just like regular shadows, these shadows cannot harm anyone directly. However, they have their uses. They can be used to block the light, hide a person or a ship, or even to make someone think another is near either as a silhouette or as a movement at the corner of one’s eye.

Occupation
Carpenter and Surgeon

Personality
The first word people think when they think of Ramya Moshe is “feisty.” She seems to have copious amounts of energy, and she loves to crack jokes – especially at another’s expense. At times, she can even be crude and lewd like any number of the men aboard the ship. This woman is full of energy, and she has many moments where she can be quite aggressive.

Ramya can hold her own against any man whether it be mentally, physically, or hormonally. She’s not shy, and she didn’t have many women in her life to teach her how to be a “proper lady,” not that she did anything other than scoff at the very idea when she’s chastised for impropriety.

Her anger can be fiery, but it’s often a way for her to hide any pain she may feel. It’s much easier for her to be angry than to be sad. She dislikes the idea of showing weakness, especially in public. Weaknesses are what get people killed as far as she’s concerned. Despite this, she can be quite tender and gentle when it comes to her skill with surgeries though she isn’t against telling a man to stop whining if she feels he’s over-doing it.

Background
Ramya Moshe killed her mother, or at least that’s how her grandfather on her mother’s side always felt it was. The truth was that her mother simply died due to complications during child birth. It was no one’s fault but fate’s. Her father, Vered, raised her.

In her younger years, Vered worked for the former King as treasurer. However, his young wife had no head for money, only for luxery. When Vered tried to advise the old King about potential money problems, he was shut-down and quickly replaced.

Luckily, Vered had always planned ahead of the game. He had saved much of his earnings, and he was able to afford caring for his small family. This was good because there was no way they would get help from Vered’s parents who had passed into the spirit realm or from Ramya’s mother’s parents who loathed the very sight of them both.

Though Vered had saved well, he knew that what he’d kept wouldn’t last the rest of their lives, so he took a job aboard a ship, bringing his daughter along with him. She was the only girl aboard the merchant ship, but that never deterred her. She grew up fast, and she grew up strong, learning how to fight, how to be a businesswoman, and how to do anything and everything aboard a ship from maintenance to surgery.

Ramya also learned something no one could have taught her in a million years: shadow craft. The young girl had always loved shadows, and she would often hide within them, playing opossum when she didn’t want to be found. Shadowy corners were her sanctuaries.

Eventually, she came to realize that it wasn’t a coincidence that no one ever seemed to find her when she would hide, and she realized that the shadows would do her bidding. It took a long time and a lot of effort, but she learned new tricks with them over the years, and she’s been working at strengthening her abilities ever since.

Sadly, when she tried to tell her father, he became very still and he commanded her to never tell another person about what she could do. It placed a strain on their relationship, and though they had been so close for so long, they began to grow apart.

When she was seventeen, she left the crew of the merchant ship where she’d lived and worked for almost ten years, and she tried to find her own way. Most of the time, this lead to her getting into trouble, but she could be very tricky with her wiles and with her shadows.

When she was nineteen, a black cat crossed her path, but there was no ill luck to be had with this one. She gave him a bit of fish, and he’s followed her ever since. Having grown up on a ship, she believed that cats were good luck, and they were useful. This particular cat had the added luck of being black and having an extra toe on each paw that resembled a small thumb. This aided him in catching the vermin he liked to each, and it only endeared Ramya to him more. She named him Titan, for she traveled the seas often, and he always came with her.

One day, when she was at the middle of her twentieth year, she tried to steal from the wrong people. In the beginning they were angry, but one man knew they could use her skills – and her knowledge once she told them what other things she could do – and she was welcomed aboard their ship as a part of the crew.

It takes a while to gain his trust, but once gained he opens up more and becomes friendlier, and is fiercely loyal.

Biography:As a boy, he grew up the son of a sailor in the Royal Navy. His mother (Sanda Chandler) was a farmers daughter who ran away to be with his father (Deromin Chandler). They were not a rich family,but did well with his fathers Navy pay, and his mother working as an aid to the local physician. Bors first picked up a gun at 6, awed by the shape and feel of it, of having something so powerful in his little hands. His father laughed when he saw the wonder on Bors face, and took him out shooting the next day. Since then, Bors did almost nothing but shoot, his
father guiding him whenever he was in port and home.Soon he became the best marksman in his town, and in the surrounding towns as well. His father taught him that sight and calmness were everything, that those who bragged and boasted the loudest, especially while shooting, were never going to be as good as they might have been.

At age 11, Bors noticed that sometimes when shooting at a target, it would seem to grow, as if it was only
inches from his face. Curious, he continued to try it on farther and farther targets, concentrating till his head seemed about to burst, and was able to see up to 2 miles before he felt that he hit his limit.

As his abilities grew, his father also taught him gunsmithing, saying that to truly be able to use a gun, you had to know it as well as you knew your own body. Bors took apart and cleaned all his weapons. Pistols, rifles, canons, etc. He became familiar with their workings, and even started tinkering with a few ideas he had in his head to make reloads quicker, and to be able to shoot multiple rounds in rapid succession before having to reload!

At age 16, tragedy took his family. His father discovered multiple officers in the Royal Navy raping young women, laughing at his protests, saying they were only peasants, lowly farmers and shop owners daughters and wives, who owed them money. Bors father immediately went to the Admiral in charge of the fleet, bringing up the charges. Little did he know that the Admiral was part of it all, and would do anything to silence him to make sure the truth never got out. That night, Bors was outside of town, testing a new rifle he had customized. Upon returning home, he saw his house torn apart, and his father dead on the table, a pistol in each hand. Racing upstairs to a noise, he burst in on 2 men brutally raping his mother. Filled with rage, he killed the 2 men. His mothers injuries were too terrible though, and she died in his arms. On the dead men, he recognized the standard issue Royal Navy pistols and cutlass, identical to his fathers. Since this day, Bors has harbored a deep hate for all Royals, and took to pirating. Over the years, the pain healed and he came to trust again and make friends, but his hate for Royals is still strong.
