Sex: Female

Occupation: Pirate (+10 to Strong)
Backstory: Jacquelyn Delahaye was born in France-the illegitimate, yet loved daughter of a well off merchant ship captain Argen Delahaye, she spent most of her youth on his ship, the Fisherhawk, learning to sail during his expeditions around the coast of Europe and further afar-she was shunned by the rest of her family for the implications of her birth, she found peace and purpose, on the sea-in this way, her father could keep her around. When she was 18, the world flipped-a month in the Doldrums caused a mutiny, and she could only watch as her father was tossed into the sea by his own men. She was chained in the hold of the ship, no doubt awaiting an unkind fate-for the mutinous crew had set their sights on the new world, where her youth would fetch a decent price as a slave.
Fortune interceded, though, in an odd fashion-an English pirate vessel caught sight and boarded the traitorous ship. They foolishly decided to fight, and Jacquelyn would hear the thumps of bodies hitting the deck not long after. And yet, when the pirates found their pretty prize in the hold, it was doubtful her fate would have been much different than with the mutineers-had she not stolen a knife from the belt of a careless sailor and removed his left ear.
Such an act endeared her to the crew, such as it was, and they allowed her to join-in essence, adopting her into their own family. Her new vessel was the Silverfish, a name she considered telling. It would take several years to rise above the rank of 'cabin girl'-and more than a few removed ears to fend off hungry men-but, Jacquelyn was driven and dedicated. She had no home to go back to, and found the freedom of piracy a liberating existence. She never wanted to step foot on land again.
In her 24th year, Jacquelyn is completely and without remorse, a pirate-raiding, looting, and pillaging as the situation demands-she always makes a habit of being on the frontline of any action. The crew likes to imagine her as a good luck charm-the reversal of the usual notion-and she thinks of them as close to family as she will ever have.
Appearance: A short, well built woman with visible muscles, tanned skin and a short, dark black hair-she's about 5 feet and 140 pounds. She has pale, slightly luminous sea-blue eyes. Her build is athletic and tough, and her skin is dark, yet light enough that her French-Caribbean heritage is evident. She has a spray of sun bleached dimples across the bridge of her nose. Her hands are calloused and covered in tough old scars. A stark black tattoo of a leaping shark is embraced on her right shoulder. Jacquelyn has a medium sized chest, and is all in all, fairly well defined and desirable by the standards of her time.

Clothes
Sleek and seaworn blue coat, leather studded slacks, a sturdy pair of boots and a blue bandanna atop her head. It's comfortable, well worn and designed to mask her femininity rather than revel in it. She wears a golden hoop earring in her left ear.
Sword [2d6+WS bonus damage]
A short and deadly cutlass with a notch in the end of the blade, and a tarnished copper crossguard. Designed less for elegant parries and more for quick draws and brutal slashing cuts.
Bronze gauntlets [Block 1d3+T bonus damage for each arm]
Thick bronze gloves, with leather fingertips-judging by the design, she stole them from an Englishmen.
Salted Fish Meal
A strip of fish meat so salted as to be nearly inedible.
Leather Waterskin (Filled with Spiced Rum)
A heavy leather pouch made to carry liquid. Currently filled with a fiery alcoholic imbibement pirates use to hype themselves up for bloodshed, if it doesn't strike them blind first.
