The United Pirates

Raven Gustare

Raven was born in a small hut near Britain. Her mother was a skilled mage and her father a jolly rogue. Unfortunately one day he was caught by the Lord British's Guards. Her mom was heartbroken and passed away of grief short after. Raven sold the small hut they lived in and got herself a ship. She sailed that vessel for days, not knowing where she would go or what she should do. Many days later she anchored at a bay near Vesper, where she was welcomed by a rowdy but friendly bunch of seadogs, the United Pirates. Her skill with a kryss and her way with words earned her respect and friendship among that lot. After spending a long time with the pirate crew, Raven fell in love with a formidable and notorious pirate, and they got married on the deep ocean with only the stars as a witness.

But times where changing. Duties forced the leaders of the United Pirates to sail the seven seas for a long time, and while Hook and Pike were away, the few rules the Pirates had were bent and stretched to the limits. Something was slowly changing the Pirates. That's when Raven decided to leave her friends, and she spent the next several months wandering around, trying to find her place once again. By chance, she came across a couple of gents called Deremic and Rayek Enthauni. Maybe it was the blood of her father running through her veins, but there was something familiar about the two rogues. After a short period the three started to become known as the Rogues oŽ Britannia. Raven as the Rogue Captain had a busy life now. Years passed quick with battles and slack periods, adventures and love.

When Raven gave birth to twins, times changed once again. Not only did the new motherhood turn her life upside down, she also suddenly found a new enemy in the father of her kids, who wanted to steal and keep them away from her. Many fights and tears later, she stood alone with her daughter Mona, her son being captured and taken away.
This was a breaking point. Raven, who had always been restless, settled down at a small farm near Yew, raising her daughter to protect and educate her in peace. She exchanged her kryss for a baby spoon, and only once in a while remembered the old days with a melancholic smile around her lips. She could have continued living like this until the end of her days.

After many years, Mona stormed her house and shouted "Mom, I saw the Pirates in New Haven, and they even gave me a rune to the Black Market! Lets go and look, please!" All of a sudden, old memories returned, overwhelming Raven Gustare. She found herself wondering what the new pirate crew would be like, or if maybe one of her old friends were still alive? Would Hook be there... or maybe even... Pike!? With butterflies in her stomach, Raven asked a friendly neighbor to look after her farm while she went to find out...
