Yes, you can spend skill points from flaws on Combat Skills. But I will tell you if the flaw is something serios or too silly

First attempt. Let me know if anything does not work or needs to be changed for balance reasons.

Personal Information:

Name: Captain Rosemary Thorn (Mistress Rose to her lovers)
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Race: White
Appearance/Pic:
Background:
Rosemary is the daughter of a prostitute and some minor, long-dead and forgotten, pirate captain. She grew up to be the opposite of her mother:
While her mother was short and busty – her DDs looked even bigger on her short frame – and had long hair, Rosemary is tall, with modest B-cups and short hair.
While her mother was submissive and obedient Rosemary is dominant and has trouble following orders, preferring to be in charge instead
While her mother was a caring person who always tried to help other people – especially other prostitutes – Rosemary rarely cares about other people, and never for long

When she grew up Rosemary joined the crew of a small pirate ship. After bashing a few heads the other crew members learned not to mess with her. She helped the ship's navigator and learned quite a bit about navigation. In time she discovered she has a talent for haggling, and for intimidating people. And thanks to her skills with a rapier and a pistol her trouble in following orders was tolerated by the old captain.

After a few years of successful attacks the old captain got a new, bigger and better, ship and started chasing after more challenging – and more rewarding – targets. One of those targets proved more challenging than expected, and a third of the crew died – including the old captain and old navigator. The ship also took quite a bit of damage.

Rosemary saw her chance and seized it, taking over as captain. She used the loot to pay for the ship's repairs – renaming it to The Thorny Rose in the process – hired a new navigator and a few new crew members to replace the ones lost in the last battle, and also changed her name from Rosemary to Rosemary Thorn. Having paid attention to how the old captain did things she quickly demonstrated that she has learned from him – and from his mistakes – and that she is a good leader, quickly getting the crew to follow her despite her flaws.

------------------

Ship: * The Thorny Rose
Belongings: Common Clothes
Weapons: Two pistols and a rapier, all of common quality
Equipment: Rope
Gold doubloons: 10
Voodoo: None

--------------

Combat Skills:
** Pistols
** Fencing

Non-Combat Skills:
* Navigation – having studied under a skilled navigator she has learned quite a lot about navigation
* Leadership – she has become quite skilled at leading her crew, both in and out of battle
* Intimidation – she can be quite intimidating when she wants to
* Haggling - she has some skill in haggling and getting better deals
* Arousing Touch – she knows how to arouse people with her touch

Flaws:
Commoner – her parents were both commoners, and she is one as well. Rich and powerful people will look down on her until she can earn their respect. This goes both ways, as she views rich people as stuck-up and arrogant
Uncaring – she tends to not care for other people. When she does care – usually when she has taken a liking to a lover – it does not last long. This makes it difficult to gain reliable allies, as most people realize that she does not care about them and will abandon them if she deems it necessary or beneficial. She also does not care if she ends up insulting someone
Unrelenting – once she has a goal in mind she has difficulty giving up, no matter the cost or the difficulty. Bedding a serving wench in a tavern, paying someone back for an insult, plundering a ship... she won't give up until multiple failures, or until it becomes impossible

------

Preferred Kinks:

I realy like her character, sound similar to Mary Reed. But her flaws doesn't sounds like flaws to me dominant still is adventage. Maybe she could be arogant, so when she talk to someone standing lower than her in hierarchy, she would missed which complement is real and which fake? Also uncaring it could be more like easy ofence people who are under her? But I think it is good backstory, which could be fun to play. Any npc of your crew which you want or maybe you leave me free hand?

Here's my attempt. Let me know if there needs to be any adjustments.

Personal Information:

Name: Isaiah Toome
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual (Straight)
Race: Black (Haitian)
Appearance/Pic: Around 5'7" tall, shaved head covered in a bandana, lean frame with wiry strength, permanent scowl
Background:

In his youth, Isaiah would often be found brawling with the other slave children on his master's sugar plantation. These were usually his own fault, starting fights for perceived slights that may or may not have been there. His father's discipline seemed to have no effect, and only his mother's loving embrace and soft tone would quiet the fury inside him.

After she was sold off, there was no one who could restrain the short-tempered young man, and he turned to property damage as an outlet instead of using it in his work. Therefore, his master chose to sell him off as well, finding it more profitable to let him be someone else's problem than to keep him.

On the way to his new master, the ship he was on was raided by the Lion's Mane, captained by Roger Hadbrok. He and the other slaves in the hold with the cargo were given a choice: Stay on the ship and sail on to be slaves, be shot as death would be a mercy compared to slavery, or sail with him and serve willingly.

He chose to serve. So long as he could have his vengeance.

His penchant for destruction found him duties as a gunner. And his respect and admiration for the ship that gave him his freedom, inspired him to study how she was put together.

But, when he pulled the short straw and spent weeks fixing her up in dry dock after she scraped the bottom of the bay, he set to learning what was under there, so he wouldn't have to do that ever again.

Combat Skills:
*Fencing/club fighting
**Grenadier

Non-Combat Skills:

**Cannon Gunner
*Naval Pilot
*Shipwright (familiar with ship construction)

Anti-Slaver - if a known slaver/slave ship is in the same area as Isaiah, he will attempt to kill/sink them.
Temper - the fuses on the cannons have more patience than him.

Good to see new face! Welcome, welcome. Your character looks good, I see no problem with skills and flaws. I would ask you to describe a little detailed backstory of your character, exslave and cook on pirate ship sounds good. For example when he was enslaved, previous relationship and family. From his fetish I guess mother was important for him so you could use that too. You could also add art how he look like, but it isn't mandatory.

About the ship's crew, the only thing I have decided on is that there are some women among the crew, though the majority are men. No special crew members in mind, so you have freedom in creating NPCs.

About her flaws, I think Dominant can be a flaw, but I can see how it can end up being too situational. How about this as a replacement for Dominant:
Commoner – her parents were both commoners, and she is one as well. Rich and powerful people will look down on her until she can earn their respect. This goes both ways, as she views rich people as stuck-up and arrogant

About Uncaring, I think it's fine to add that she doesn't care if she offends people.

 

[Regin34]

To be fair most rich and powerfull people look down on commoners XD, but it could work with her own reaction, like Roll dice to tell if she bow head down when she meets high official which could put her in the trouble.

Heh, true.

Anyway, character sheet updated. Anything else that needs fixing or expanding?

Personal Information:
Name: Casiguaya (Known by the Spanish as 'La Bruja Mestiza')
Gender: Female
Race: Taino (Native American)
Appearance/Pic:

Background: Born on a Santo Domingo ecomienda to a Spanish father and Taino mother, Casiguaya was, for the beginning of her life, little more than a slave, working the land ceded to Spanish colonists. On the vast estates, bordered by jungle, though, she was able to spend her free time hunting, tracking, and learning the ways of her people, while her status as the daughter of the local encomendero gave her access to a Western education, teaching her Spanish and some Latin. After a food riot on the encomienda led to a brutal massacre of her people by the Spanish, Casiguaya escaped, killing several guards and escaping into the jungle, slaughtering several more colonists with blowgun, axe and magic, and eventually getting off the island entirely. Now in Jamaica, in a hidden community of escaped Maroon slaves, Casiguaya is safe, but restless. Desiring adventure, she heads into the British settlement to find a ship and sail the seas, not realising that she's now hunted by the Spanish.

Ship: No ship
Belongings:
Weapons: Honed Blowgun
Equipment:
Gold doubloons: 10
Voodoo: Casiguaya uses vodun both to curse her enemies, and also to heal when her medicines aren't sufficient
--------------
+2 Skills because of lack of ship
+2 Skills because of flaws
Combat Skills: (Two points to spend, like gun shooting, fencing, martial arts, poison darts)

- **Stealth
- **Alchemy
- Seduction
- Leadership
- Navigation

Flaws: ( Flaws are optional, but for every flaw you gain one point in skill, to max three)
- Curse of Tlazolteotl: One of Casiguaya's Spaniard ancestors was a conquistador who ran afoul of the Aztec goddess of lust in Mexico. Even after centuries, and even far away in Santo Domingo and Jamaica, the curse remains in her bloodline, afflicting her with powerful lust that she has to relieve often, lest she be sent into a frenzy that causes her to forget all sense. The power of the curse grows stronger, the closer she is to Mexico.
- Hatred of Spain: Casiguaya despises the Spanish for what happened to her family, and becomes highly brash when around Spaniards, provoking or even attacking them if she can't keep her cool.

I'm working on a few angles for the backstory, but in hindsight, it's probably not a good idea to let the guy dealing with explosive powder handle the food. Can I swap cooking out for either surveyor/cartographer or pilot?

And if you didn't know, a naval pilot is the expert in their local waters, so Isaiah would know exactly where every rock and crag is, so that the Lion's Mane wouldn't crash and sink when she pulls into port.

Sure, you can change for pilot if you want, but not catographer because you said he is illiterate, so it would be imposible for him to draw a map and not able to read them. As long as you had fun and logical explanation, I'm fine with your character.

 

[Impregmaniac]

catographer because you said he is illiterate

Forgot my own idea.

Updated the character sheet.

[Thorn_]

Name: Zhou Mei
Gender: Female
Race: Chinese

Background: The daughter of a fairly wealthy merchant family and minor nobility, she was actually living rather well even during the increasing rise of piracy in the southern seas. While she definitely wouldn't seem like it, she had always been fascinated with the ideas of the freedom the pirate life had represented and the idea of the infamy the kind of name provides. It wasn't for much reason other than being attracted to the danger, that as a young noble girl she fell for one of the men her family had regularly employed against business rivals. While her parents often tried to avoid her getting too involved with them, her strong education actually proved to be a useful asset, though most of the crew still view her as largely a spoiled princess that never worked a day in her life. While also true, her usefulness and contacts meant she was still good to have around for a few adventures and after marrying the captain, not much could be done about it.

It was some time after when they were celebrating a successful raid on land that the old ship had inexplicably caught fire with the captain who had left early after an argument and some of his most dedicated men. The two groups were divided among the fleet of the exact nature of her involvement and if she should really lead the fleet and it had devolved into much of them breaking off to start their own crews. With the increasing chaos and mounting tensions, Mei set what was left of her crew for other waters with the aim of letting them fight it out and later returning with a full fleet of her own to break the south sea under one flag.

Equipment: Black Powder, Compass, Grenades(Not sure if this should apply as a weapon or set amount),
Gold doubloons: 10
Voodoo(-cost from non combat skills): A mix of skills she picked up a little from back home and taught by natives she met, she learned a few tricks to utilize it to gather information like locations and predict outcomes provided she has something of value to the target to use it with.

Explosives*
Non-Combat Skills(Two for negative traits):

Flaws: ( One slot for Vodooism)
Perfectionist: Has very high demands of her crew and their performance to instill discipline. This doesn't typically lend itself to make signing up with her crew attractive to most and often stalls at finding new members to replace older ones.
Spoiled: She's not meant to join the crew living in refuse and squalor.

oh, wasn't clear on how that worked. Academics would be meant for like a general intelligence utility skill as long as it's things that would fall under conventional subjects, basically. I can do something else if that doesn't work.
