Or, rather, most of them. The really important mover-shakers, anyways.

It sort of a long story on 'why,' but basically they've been haunting me. After I drew them yesterday and then I got the best night's sleep I've had in over a month. They're from a story I've been writing/developing for... oh, a decade or so, now.

Because yay pirates.

Anyways, Falcos Hawke, the Captain (top left), Torron Eraste, First Mate (top right), Adrianne, the Catalyst* (middle left), "Toby," Scout (middle right), Keiran, 'Beast' Hunter** (bottom left), Charlotte, Navigations Expert*** (bottom right)

*She's what makes the story go, basically. She stows away on board their ship and it turns out she was always meant to be there, blah, blah, blah.
** He used to hunt wild game for the King's court, but discovered that there were more corrupt thinks than common animals to kill. He still hunts beasts, in the sense that he's a Bounty Hunter or a sword for hire. Yay.
*** Charlotte's a seer, so she has some say in where the ship sails whether it be to a safe port or towards impending doom. She's also a succubus and worked as the matron of a chain of houses in this world's equivalent to the red-light district.

The other characters have neat backstories and what not, but I don't want to get into that too much.
