Name: Alicia McBride
Age: 22
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 125 lbs
Hair: Golden Blond
Eyes: Violet
Measurements: 34DD-24-36
Personality:
Pushy in nature, she knows what she wants and she'll do anything she can to get it. Alicia relies on her good looks and cunning to achieve her goals, though her skill with a blade gets her pretty far as well. Sometimes her overconfidence lands her in a heap of trouble, but Alicia has a knack for getting out of it (while being a few coins richer in the end as well)
Skills:
Alicia is quite proficient at wielding swords and lighter weapons, and her lithe body affords her a decent amount of protection. She is not good against heavier, well-armed opponents, however, and will typically shy away from combat unless the odds are stacked considerably in her favor.
Bio:
Alicia was born into an extremely rich family, her father Marshal McBride owns a large shipping company while her mother Jaden (whom was from a prominent family already) took care of the household affairs. At a young age Alicia became interested in the life and the dangerous ways of pirates, though her parents soon scolded her for even harboring such thoughts. No one knew where this sudden interest came from, just one day she started talking all about them and how she wanted to be one. But seeing as how Alicia was a noblewoman, she was taught that these lesser humans were cruel and worthless and whom deserved to be hanged. Alicia never understood why, having never met one of them in person and knowing that her parents hadn't either. So she masked her dreams and put on a more pleasant show for her family and 'friends'.
When Alicia was 16 years old her parents told her she was to be married to some nobleman in some fancy village that she had never even heard of. Angered by this arrangement that she had never agreed to, Alicia snuck out of her manor late one night and snuck aboard one of the merchant ships that had docked in her village, hiding herself in the cargo bay. She had always thought about running away, but she just wasn't sure when a good time would to do so would be. Well, when you find out your parents have already arranged your marriage to someone you don't even know, that would be a good time as any. In any case, the ship she snuck aboard was 'The Maiden of Virtue', and was set to sail for a distant land.
During its voyage, the Maiden came under attack by pirates. While many of the passengers were scared out of their wits, a bright smile spread across Alicia's face. This was her chance to see a real pirate! After being overtaken, the crew and several passengers were taken prisoner, including Alicia. Although the Maiden was damaged, it was able to sail into the nearest harbor for repairs. The captain of this pirate ship was a man named Hayden Reynolds. He wore a large brimmed hat that had a tear at the side, a large red feather sticking out of it, and the skull and crossbones symbol. He wore no eye patch (something Alicia naively expected all pirates to wear) and did not have a wooden leg. His clothing was rough at best: a light sleeveless shirt and baggy pants and boots.
Her first encounter with pirates showed her that they weren't as ruthless as most people automatically assumed. She had been taken prisoner, yes, but she wanted to be their prisoner. She wanted to be around them, to do what they did, and perhaps even become a known pirate herself. That was her dream, after all. She pleaded with Captain Reynolds to become a part of his crew, but being so young he had no choice but to reject her. "Maybe in a few years, I'll come and find ya" he had said to her, running his rough hand over her blond hair. After being dropped off at Breakwater Island, Alicia never saw Captain Reynolds again.
The next few years she spent moving from place to place but could never find somewhere to settle down. On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Alicia finally struck gold (so to speak). Stopping to sleep at a local tavern, she struck up conversation with a rugged and old looking man named Vern Bennett. When she asked what his profession was, he leaned over and whispered into his ear that he was a retired pirate. She asked him if he knew anyone that was looking for a helping hand, and with a smile Vern nodded his head. He set her up with an acquaintance that was just starting to piece together a crew. Using her skill with a sword, Alicia proved her worth and was brought aboard her first pirate vessel (well not her first, but rather the first one to work aboard as a pirate) called The Devils Rage. She only spent about a year working on the Rage, eventually leaving after she had a fierce argument with the captain over some minute thing.
Alicia commands her own ship now, one of the fastest as a matter of fact, named The Blood Lust. Currently the ship lies docked in the port harbor of Coral Anchorage, a rather rundown and crime infested town.
