Sky Priates [LadyHarpy and Jurinjo]

[LadyHarpy]

In the Land of Arcane life is peaceful...on the ground. As for the air, that is a completely different story...

Large air ships fill the sky each built for certain reasons. Some carrying cargo, some carrying soldiers, and others carrying priates. It's a game of russian rulet up there, for you never know what will hit you. Skyport's, towns that seem to float in the air like magic, dot the sky. They provide the tools and supplies that help run the massive structures.

On one particular Skyport, our story begins...

It runs on many types of energy to keep it's massive build in the air, including but not limited to, steam, coal, and a new energy type called Aura, a collectable substance found on a set of small islands far north. It can divide into three smaller ships and has six docking boats to choose from. It's outer sheild is very think and durable, able to withstand constant fire for about an hour before breaking begins.

Character Name: Quin
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'9" in height, very thin build but still toned and well tanned. His hair is short and spiky and bangs are long enough to hide his face are usually held out of his eyes in a brown/gold bandanna.. The dark brown hue of his hair compliment his green eyes. Quin wears a dark brown sleeveless shirt, fingerless leather gloves that end just before his elbows. His lighter shade of brown pants end comfortably at the calves where they meet with a pair of leather boots. He can carry a surprising amount of items on his her person. Like many thieves he has tattoos and piercings, he keeps a good luck charm around his neck that ironically has a cross engraved in it.
Bio: Quin grew up to poor and insignificant family. His only hopes for a future was blacksmithing, which he hated and in a painful silence turned his back on everyone in pursuit of happiness. Today he finds himself a thief by trade, taking up different jobs and many skills along the way. Quin is headstrong but still carries with him a cautious and level head not normally exhibited by most thieves. However he's also an alcoholic which is why he did something landing him on the Goliath in the first place.
Ship: "recruit" on the Goliath

oy I am terrible at physical descriptions. Feel free to start. You can even have Quin thrown on the floor in front of you =)

[LadyHarpy]

Abigail was sitting in her captains quarters as she looked over a old map on her large oak desk. She wasn't wearing her characteristic coat; it hung on a hook by the door. Her boots were kicked off to the side in a head near her rather large and comfy looking bed. She messed with her braided hair as she stared at the map. A loud knock came to the door and she absentmindedly called.

"Come in."

A group of men came in dragging another man and tossed him on the ground near her feet. She looked at him for a second before looking at the map.

"What's his crime?"

"He was poking his nose in our treasure captain!" One pirate called.

[Jurinjo]

The man, known as Quin, grunted as two much stronger men dropped him to the floor. By the time the woman asked her question Quin was looking straight at her but stood more relaxed than straight. Didn't want look as if he was thinking anything other than to appease her. "I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't. The flap hiding the items were loose and well my curiosity got the best of me ma'am." He said humbling turning his eyes towards the floor.

[LadyHarpy]

"Have you ever heard the saying 'curiosity killed the cat.'?" Abigail asked as she wrote on the map a bit and pulled out a leather bound book of notes.

[Jurinjo]

Keeping his eyes on the floor, "yes I have" he said finally looking up as he was going to ask his biggest question of the night. "Anything I can do to make up for my trespassing?"

[LadyHarpy]

Abigail looked at the man right in the eye, stopping what she was doing. She observed him up and down. He seemed out of place here, surrounded by the many built men.

"That depends on your abilities."

[Jurinjo]

((I'm gonna leave for today. See ya laters. ^_^ ))

It took only a moment, but in that moment he knew his next words would greatly affect change things for him. Good or bad that really depended. Would they lead him to great treasure? Or would he want to escape them as soon as possible. The captain for the first time was finally looking him up and down. "I can pick locks, set bombs, some skills in mechanics." He listed proudly without actually saying what he was by trade. Carried to many negative connotations, besides he WAS considering taking a few of the particular items from them earlier. They no doubt suspected that.

[LadyHarpy]

"You might have your uses." Abigail said. "But the earlier stunt is not so easily forgiven."

[Jurinjo]

((Found the pages I promised earlier link_1 | link_2))

He had his hand infront of his chest waving it back and fourth in the universal "no not at all" gesture. "Don't worry I don't steal from the people I work for. Real bad for business, better to have less enemies right?" He said smiling and no longer playing innocent-citizen.

[LadyHarpy]

((LOL dude that is funny!))

Abigail was silent for a moment. She could definately use him for future treasures and giving him a room was no problem. She turned back to the map and stared at it, rather tired at staring at the same map for so long. She stood and looked to him again, only just realizing that he was much taller than her.

"You know a good bar around here?"

[Jurinjo]

((thanks glad to give you a nice laugh))

She went back to looking at the all important map. Quin stood there impatiently waiting for her to dismiss them or have the two men next to him drag him to some other part of the ship. "You know a good bar around here?" she asked. He took a moment to think.

" Yeah I do. But good depends on your criteria." Quin usually went to bars for 2 reasons: first is to drink, and secondly to get information.

[LadyHarpy]

"Good, you're going to show us where it is." She said as she rolled up the map and cleaned up her mess.

She looked to one of the priates plainly.

"Go inform the crew we're stepping out for some fun."

The priate nodded and ran off.

"As for you," She said as she looked to Quin. "Wait out side by the dock and don't stick you nose in anymore of my business. Got that...?" She said letting hang the last part since she didn't know his name.

[Jurinjo]

He guessed she didn't much care about criteria, and since the crew might've been going as well that left one logical choice. A big ship must've had a big crew to run it.

"Okay ma'am. Name's Quin." he said turning to walk out. He sighed as he shut the door behind him. One of the things he disliked most was having people suspect him. Soon enough they'll warm up. Perhaps in a few short days at most...
