Full Name: Alexandra Chou
Nicknames/Titles: Alex, The Butterfly Chef,
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Appearance: Tanned, has roughly chopped black hair, fit and toned. Her eyes are dark brown, and she is toned and muscular. Her outfit consists of black pants, combat boots, a unbuttoned double-breasted chef jacket, and a camo tank top underneath.
Position: Cook

Pirate's Personality: A foul mouthed woman, she is a rough and tumble female that does everything as efficient as possible. From her cooking to her fighting, there’s no flair or wasted movement. She loves cooking and has a great imagination for utilizing worthless scraps of food and turning it into a masterpiece. She is loyal to her crewmates and will do anything for them.
Pirate’s History: Born on the west coast, Alex’s home has always been a melting pot of information, whether it being cooking, culture, or weapons. Her father, a military general, taught her Krav Maga and other wartime tactics of demolishing an enemy in close range. However, her mother insisted on making her into a lady, and taught her cooking, a craft she would use for the Luokia Pirates.
Several years later, Alex had created a wonderful restaurant that would have made her mother proud. On a chance encounter of serving the Captain of the Luokia Pirates a meal, the captain recognized her potential and recruited her as the Cook of the ship.

Full Name: Nizhoni Hughes
Nicknames/Titles: Nizzy, Emma (official name on passport)
Age: thirty two years old
Gender: female
Appearance: As half Caucasian and half Native Americans, Nizhoni is intimidatingly tall and has an androgynous appearance. Her strong jawline, wide eyes, and siewny body figure are her selling points. Thick black hair is bounded into a braid by a leather band attached with feathers. She wears light makeup, unless for her religious ceremonies when she paints her body in tattoos, and has few scars lining her face and muscles. Usually, Nizhouni prefers to walk around half-naked, but in the presence of company, she makes efforts to dress herself in traditional robes and pants of her Navajo culture.
Position: historian/navigator

Pirate's Personality: Because she lived in a holistic environment, Nizhouni is a calm and compassionate individual who seeks peace and reason over violence. She holds honor and respect over everything else. However, her generosity and kindness is often too subtle compared to her taciturn and mechanical nature. She hardly speaks, never minces her words when asked of her opinion, and is too pragmatic for her own good.

Pirate’s History: Emma Hughes was born half Caucasian and half Navajo in Arizona. Her American father had died early on in her childhood, so her mother formally adopted her into her the Navajo tribe, renaming her daughter as Nizhouni. For the majority of her life, Nizhouni lived a Navajo Indian and attended American public school. Her upbringing in a rural Navajo community isolated her from the rest of the students, but she loved to learn and immerse herself into history.

After graduating from high school, Nizhouni continued a career path towards college and earned a degree in her historical studies. But while studying for her pHD, the Navajo community was swept by a plague and everyone in the tribe died. The plague’s origins are a mystery, but it is assumed that the land was contaminated with chemicals in the ground and animals from previous scientific experimentation. Nizhouni became the last survivor of the Navajo tribe and the Arizona government took pity on her. They subsidized for her education, provided her room and board, and tried to assist her.

She eventually dropped out of the college due to stress and insomnia attacks of recalling the “spirits of her dead family”. For several years, Nizhouni remained under the radar, changing part-time jobs ever so often and depending on the government’s money. She was becoming anxious, and wanted to get out of society. Suddenly, on a stroke of luck, she encountered the Luokia Pirates during a bank heist, back when only two people ran the show. The captain, noticing her isolation from society, invited her to join their crew. Nizhouni did not agree with the captain's ideals, but continues to follow them out of desperation.

Weapon(s): custom built spear (collapsible); throwing knives (secondary)
Strengths: hunting, surviving on little resources, resistant to heat and dry weather, photogenic memory
Weaknesses: gets too immersed in her task/work at hand, being feminine, has chronic insomnia during weeks of full moon and new moon
Fears: being the last person alive

Username: Windscimitars

Full Name: Eugene Keegan Fruest
Nicknames/Titles: the Genie, Cap’n, Kazimir (former name)
Age: unknown (looks like in his late 20s, early 30s)
Gender: male
Appearance: With his wind-swept auburn hair, his icy blue eyes, and his charming smile; Eugene is sometimes mistaken as a model. His usual attire consists of vests, collared shirts, slacks, and his signature cropped mantle that hides his muscular frame. On one ear, he wears an intricate dragon ear cuff that is rumored to be alive and slithers when someone tries to lie to him.  
Position: Captain

Pirate's Personality: Chivalrous, generous, and witty is how most people describe Eugene. To the women, he is the ideal prince from fairy tales; to men, he is the best comrade a man can ever have. He lives high on adventure and loves to embellish on everything to add more of a dramatic flair. But while he exaggerates, it later becomes difficult to tell if he is lying or not, and casts a mysterious air around him. Rarely does Eugene fly into a rage or become depressed, and if he ever does, he hides it underneath a faux cheerful expression. Despite all his false exterior, his loyalty, respect, romantic ideals, and wanderlust is what keeps the Luokia Pirates sailing.
Pirate’s History: The majority of the Captain’s life is shrouded by mystery and intrigue. So far, only the crew is aware of his origins from Prague and his propensity to garner funds, expensive items, and information from out of thin air. He claims to be an illegitimate child of an infamous Chinese mafia with his wealth or a rich prince with thousands of maids and butlers at his beck and call. But his real self is actually an orphaned boy named Kazmir (or known as Kaz) who happened to follow a circus troupe passing through the war-torn Prague. He entered the circus at the age of six after having a previous record of stealing, lying, and sometimes killing people to survive.

Spending the majority of his adulthood in the circus troupe, Kaz emerged as the troupe’s greatest attraction. His versatile acts and charming personality raked in the profits and attracted the attention of people seeking for high quality entertainment. At the age of twenty-two, Kaz was the master of the troupe and converted it into an international entertainment agency for rare talents. But after catering to the bourgeois and the opulent tycoons for too long, he grew sick of the line of work. There was no more joy and wonderment with these people, but nevertheless, money was still coming in. A few years later, Kazmir appointed his successor and resigned to the troupe, only to form the Luokia Pirates under the alias “Eugene Keegan Fruest” to satisfy his desire for adventure. All his connections and wealth from the past would contribute to his heists and success of his pirating career.

Weapon(s): bulletproof tonfas and the cropped mantle (doubles as an extraneous layer and a defense with its surprisingly dense coating)
Strengths: beguiling others, quick footwork and dexterous, entertaining people with his card tricks, coming up with the most absurd plan
Weaknesses: cooking (he’s notorious for burning through several kettles and pots), treasure maps and books, his “family” and close associates, cats
Fears: a mundane world full of boredom

Position: Weapon Specialist

Pirate's Personality: As many refer to Eugene as the handsome prince of the Luokia Pirates, many see Johnny as a cool knight. Contrast to Eugene’s suave aura, Johnny exudes a more dangerous aura, as if he was a large wolf or lion. Although he seems a little unapproachable, he is a man that values courage and family before everything. As he views the crew as his own brothers and sisters, he gets along quite well with them.
Pirate’s History: Born and raised in a Chinese monastery, Johnny was raised mostly by his mother, who spent more time with him. Once he became old enough, Johnny joined the monastery and learned martial arts and devoted himself to becoming a better person. One day, he found himself questioning his teachings, and he decided to leave his home to make something out of himself in the world. Traveling around the world, he finally wound up in Japan, where he was taken in by a professor of mechanical engineering. Learning everything he could, he finally opened a repair shop near the ocean that could service anything from bikes to massive ships.
During a dull summer day, a massive ship had docked for repairs. Going out to meet them, he saw what would eventually become the Luokia Pirates. Seeing the damages as something that only he could be able to fix, he worked on the ship for 5 days and nights before getting it in running condition. Impressed with his will, the captain allowed him to join the crew as a weapons specialist and a mechanic.
