Vesper Quinn

World & Ship Setting: The world is ruled by a powerful empire that controls most cities and seas through fear, military force, and corruption. In response, rebel pirate crews began rising against the empire — the most feared among them being The Black Tide. Led by Captain Raven Vexley, The Black Tide attacks imperial ships, steals military supplies, frees prisoners, and protects people abandoned by the empire. While the empire sees them as dangerous criminals, many common people see them as symbols of freedom. The crew of The Black Tide is chaotic, loud, and full of outcasts, but fiercely loyal to one another. At the captain’s side is her first mate, Vesper Quinn — a dangerous, sharp-tongued pirate feared almost as much as Raven herself. Vesper Quinn — “Red Smile” Age: 27 First mate of The Black Tide and Raven’s fiercely loyal right hand. Sarcastic, reckless, and always wearing an amused smirk, Vesper treats danger like entertainment and loves causing trouble almost as much as she loves fighting. Despite her relaxed attitude, she becomes cold and terrifying the moment someone threatens her captain or crew. Most people fear Vesper nearly as much as Raven herself. Years ago, Raven freed Vesper during a prison transport raid and gave her a place aboard The Black Tide. Since then, Vesper’s loyalty to her captain has been absolute. Captain Raven Vexley — “The Black Queen” Age: 34 Captain of The Black Tide and one of the empire’s most wanted rebels. Calm, fearless, and dangerously decisive, Raven became a symbol of freedom across the seas after turning against the empire she once served. Years ago, the empire abandoned an entire city during a military operation, killing Raven’s older brother and leaving her trapped inside the burning ruins. She survived, but the empire erased the incident completely. Now, Raven attacks imperial ships, frees prisoners, and slowly tears the empire apart from the sea. Only Vesper knows about this incident
