Of course, ah.... H Thids basically means she also employs her engineering degree for when she wants to be a... Well... A goidsdamn menace to porch pirates. Gliutter bombs, stink bombs.,er job also became her hobby. She's that lunatic who designs engines for work in toy form first and thus uses a 3D printer and Radio Shack parts to make prototypes for drones to zip around her street... Or not. You know... Engineer things.

Reading - Cherish lived with her Dad through college and as such she's developed an appetite for books nothing quenches. She actually likes computer science well but she got into mechanical engineering, changed degrees, never looked back, and still devours the topic like a feral honewybadger. She also devours military history and finds it useful and fascinating, along with devouring general history and environm,ental science. She also loves a good actuiioin book.

[j]Chess - Cherish got into chess of all hgames for the sake of finding a new hobby and she really, really likes it. Really liukes it. She plays chess at the VA and with anyone in the park and while she doesn't always win... She learns every time.

Self Defense Training - This is kind of a dirty, backwaters, 'noit officially anywhere' thing but Cherish will practice self defense with a friend from college. No, no her skills are not exactly ah. From a class. Cherish knows a guy who's good at fighting and they tend to practiuce so she can build strength, confidence, and work on keeping safe in this modern age. So far she's gotten pretty good, and understands leverange... Anbd has put an attackjer through a wooden fence. She's still working on it.


Virtues:

Loyal
"Open up a route get people out!"

Time and experience has tempered Cherish from a delicate if angry flower into a balanced person but her loyalty remains, if evolved into a new degr4ee. Cherish is loyal, with reason. As long as you don't wrong her personally she's loyal to others and she will come if asked and apologize if she lets you down. She gives a damn! But more than just individuals, if given a cause, Cherish is loyal to that as well. She is flexible with loyalty... So long as you gfit into her circle of friends - chaos or order or neiuther - and anyone else has to Deal with her stepping back or stepping in regardless. Loyalty matters to her, and she's not stepping down on it.

Clever
"Lightbulb."

Since moving in with her father foir college then buying a house, Cherish has worked on herself and discovered... She's not a dumb broad as she used to feel. She's acxtually clever and can be cunning if she wished. Mostly she applies this top uyseful things like solving problems or budgeting but it actually got her through college pretty quickly since she took summer classes and excelled, even with her major in mechanical engineering. She's not a genius, but just clever enough to cover her weaknesses, or plan ahead for problems... Or... To build the glitter bomb making the portch pirates scream in the distance.

Trustworthy
"I gave my word to help."

When Cherish's trust ion her mother and twin vrother was broken Cherish resolved not to make their mistakes. To be a trustworthy person. She's thus calmed down and is The Persoin people can depend on with secrets, safety, and the like. She's the person you know will keep her word, or will honestly explain why she broke it in an ewmergency. She's honest and forthright, and values building and keeping the trust oif others, even when it seems difficult. It's important to her to be trustworthy and she woirks daily to be so.

Flaws:

Ruthless
"For whom the bell tolls,,,"

If you know "Rutghlessness" from Epic, then you understand. Cherish is trutgless when provoked. Cold. She's prepared to do what she must to ensure the job is done, and while not merciless, she's coild, effective, and downright vicious, especially if crossed or betrayed. She will not even always listen - as usually her loyalty is broken if sopmeone she knows earns her ruithless side... Or worse, someone broke her trust -- and when that happens... She's not... So nice, largely to afford herself the mercy one might not have afforded her by pissing her off.

Mildly Sadistic
"I'm lying through my teeth, your tears are all the company I need!"

Chertish is.. Well. She can be kind of sadistic. Not a lot, but noticeably. Like mentioning she hopews unkindness on someone who's on her bad side.... Or watching an opponent fail while snacking on her popcorn and smiling like an asshoile. She won't exactly inflict serious harm physically, she she will laugh her head off at the suffering of people she doesn't like. If she's displeased with a foe, she mostly just wants to sit and watch them suffer with snacks and a bigt grin. Makles her happy, it's not nice, but it's a thing peoiple notice.

Stubborn
"ISorry Mario your princess is in another castle."

Cherish doesn't like most people trying to make her change her mind. Pisses her off if you push, won't happen easily, and dear stars help you, once her mind is set, she'll take a lot of work to see it changed. The woman is bullheaded and refuses to change for most people, with exceptions being her littlke half siblings.... Or maybe her dad. Anyone else well.... Yeah, sorry, she's nmore likely to argue until she's red in the face then stomp away in a bad mood.

Most clothing was made of heavy wool, cottons, and leather, while heirloom apparel was made of ancient scales mixed with other sorts of fabric. Feathers of seabirds were common, as were wearing the teeth or bones of a predator one bested. Most seafarers wore, at the very least, swords or other melee weaponry.

Religion type: Pantheon
Description: Limosans were highly polytheistic, and worshipped multiple dieties born of the sea, and that of wind and storms. Limosans favored maritime dieties and those whom impacted smooth sailing and travels. Octopi were specifically a favorite of pirates for their abilities to escape, and it is thought octopi taught the first pirates how to escape and survive.

History:

History tells of the Limosans as a scattered peoples of various backgrounds that sailed the seas of Limosa for centuries taking to various jobs, from trade (venturing from sea to other planets) and piracy (both of other Limosans and off-worlders. They didn't care). This persisted for a time until the senshi of Limosa began to look past reincarnating and only taking on one crew to the option of looking upon other crews and at the planet as a whole. Sending signal to the other crews, merchant and pirate alike, the senshi arranged a meeting on the largest landmass on Limosa, in turn, brokering agreement between the crews and fleets of the world to unite as one to benefit all. With much work and many concessions, a council of all seafaring types was founded to lead the now-unified fleet of Limosa, ith the Senshi, whom embodied a world-wide recognized figure for escape, the Octopus, as Fleet Admiral upon reincarnations.

Limosan Harbors and Landmarks

Aesclea - The Limosan capital city. The city is built as both a harbor town and a colossal ship to represent the power of the thalassocracy. The majority of the city was divided between harbors for all manner of ships on the lower regions, while higher levels were markets, safe locations for visiting dignitaries, and others were filled with eateries, bars, and pubs. Although occupied by pirates and seafarers, Aesclea was surprisingly safe and open, if but filled with energy and the sense of freedom that lingered over much of Lomisa. Aeclea was the largest port, and the largest city, site of the original pact and founding of the Council.

Hilaria - Hilaria was known as the pirate's cove of Lomisa. When one saught treasure, or to hide it, one often travelled to the port city. Many pirates often brought allies from other worlds or cities into Hilaria, if trusted, and while the city was considered rough territory rife with 'gunboat diplomacy', those not of the pirate ranks were usually left alone, unless some unfortunate, lost offworlder.

Akanaeos - A merchant and fishing port not too far from the others, Akanaeos was a city considered rich by Limosa's standards. The market alone was reputed to sell anything one sought provided they paid the coin, including some things considered criminal or that were condemned offworld. Akanaeos was considered the less unsavory port, however, it was also the agreed hub of the black market, which was in the open by the legal merchants next to them.

Seychelles Spire - The Spire was a landmark of the Council of Limosa. From this location came the judgements of the Fleet Admiral and the other Admirals of the Council. Easily the most recognizable land landmark of the capital, the Spire was known to the people of Limosa as a symbol of power among the fleet, with quick access to the Limosan Flagship. Unliike many stone buildings of the Limosan world, the Spire was constructed of various materials dreged from the ocean floor, and was once said to contain the Scales of the Leviathan.

The Star of Limosa - The Limosan flagship was built very early on in Limosan history and meticulously maintained to remain seaworthy. While not often opened to non-crew, the ship herself was a well known symbol of Limosan power over the sea, and was considered the Fleet crown jewel and the most well maintained, up to date ship of the Fleet for her age.

The Maelstron - A large whirlpool in the Limosan oceans and seas. The ability to survive theMaelstrom alone sailing was often a coming of age rite that many did not make, while others did. While one could be seen as adult and sail without conquering it, one could not be a captain nor even consider the council without first seeing it. The Maelstrom is said to be concocted by the gods to temper the Limosans, and often Limosans on the trial toss offerings to their gods that they might yet let them live.
