or "Treas-fur Island" X)

Another off the list of themes I gave to  tatious to draw Jessie and Aria in. I love pirates (yes, thanks to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies XP) and I wanted to do one with my chief characters. Much like the Inquisitors pic I have a story for this one as well. ;)

Set in that classic time period where pirating was very common, Aria also know as "The Black Storm" is one of the more feared and respected pirates from both fellow pirates and the crews she steals from. Aside from her ravishing beauty, he tactics and code of conduct make her a well loved pirate amongst all who hear of her tales. Sailors are eager to surrender to her crew just to get a glimpse of her and pirates fight each other for chance to serve with her crew. But not just anyone can join Aria's crew and sail with her on her corvette "The Siren's Song". Only the best sailors with a drive for adventure and excitement and an understanding that even though they're pirates there are just somethings they don't do or a certain level they stoop to.
This rare sense of morality and a reputation of being a modern day Robin Hood with the way she spreads the wealth she steals with those less fortunate and with her fellow pirates has earned her a warm place in the people's hearts. Of course it's also earned her much scrutiny and ire from other, more hardcore pirates. Not just for being a woman in man's game, but for being such a goodie-goodie in such a nasty business. This doesn't stop Aria from doing what she thinks is right in such a rough time and place.
It also helps to have one of the best swordsmen on the seas as a part of your crew. That's where Aria's very unique servant comes in.
Jessie was a servant boy for the daughter of a wealthy and eccentric nobleman. His daughter was no exception. She liked to dress Jessie up as a girl so she could have a friend/sister to play with. She still treated him like a servant, so it was all just a kind of game to her. Jessie took it all in stride, figuring his life could be worse. The constant emasculation actually shaped him into a bit of a feminine boy and he seemed more like a girl than a boy. He even started acting and thinking like a girl, much to the amusement of his owner. When it was realized that Jessie was completely subservient, he was trained with the use of a sword so he could double as a bodyguard. This was the only way for the nobleman to have some sort of an armed escort with his daughter at all times since she refused to have anyone with her at all times other than Jessie. On a trip to one of the colonies Aria's ship intercepted the nobleman's ship for some riches. However he didn't bring many along, or at least not as much to Aria's liking. So instead she opted to take the nobleman's daughter as collateral with the intention of ransoming her. However, the joke was on Aria, as when the daughter was presented to her, it was actually Jessie in the daughter's clothing. Since Aria had never seen the girl, she assumed Jessie really was the nobleman's daughter. Satisfied, she took Jessie aboard and sailed off to wait for the nobleman to respond with the ransom so they could meet for an exchange. A week passed and Jessie spent most of the time tied up and gagged as a hostage. He kept up the charade out of loyalty to his owner and promise of being rescued. However, Aria's gentle treatment of her prisoner (aside from the bondage) made feel more at home tied up in on her ship than he ever felt with his owner. Especially whenever she personally fed him to keep him healthy. Aria would even keep him in her room for the company and tell him her stories. Finally, the day came to make the switch. Instead of a single vessel in the bay they planned to make the exchange in they were ambushed by several naval ships with the intention of taking Aria in, dead or alive. Jessie was shocked to see that his owner wasn't making an attempt to rescue him and that they were willing to sacrifice him in order to get to Aria. He was devastated. He was pissed. Being a servant for a nobleman and spending some time on his ship and around the navy helped him learn a thing or two about their ships and their tactics. That and a bold move to lead the navy to think that Jessie was holding Aria captive and forcing her to surrender. This and the nobleman's daughter's assurance that Jessie was loyal to a fault caused the naval ships to lower their guards. But once all the ships were in perfect position and Aria was aboard the nobleman's ship, the trap was sprung and Aria's crew took the ship and both vessels caught the naval ships off guard with a barrage of canon fire.
When the smoke settled and the only two ships standing were Aria's and the nobleman's. It was then that Aria learned that Jessie wasn't the nobleman's daughter, but her servant boy. In light of this new information, Aria offered to let the nobleman live, but i they ever met again she would kill him. As for Jessie, he felt betrayed for having proven his loyalty and not receiving any in return. He left with Aria, not knowing what his future was. Aria changed that by offering to make him a member of her crew. Jessie was happy to accept, but one condition: he wanted to be her servant. Having been one all his life it was all he knew. Aria accepted the terms, but even though he would be her servant, she'd still treat far better than he'd even been treated before, almost to the point of her equal. Jessie's other request was even more bizarre. He wanted to be treated like a girl. Having acted as one so often really struck a cord with him. So did the time he spent in captivity all tied up. Aria can't help but chuckle and smile whenever Jessie asks her to tie him up.
So, now Aria's tales also consist of a sexy fox girl with a nasty riposte. The rumors are abound as to whether or not Jessie is a slave or a crew member, a friend or a lover. Rumors also say that the fox girl is really a boy, but there's no proof of that and Aria's lips are sealed on that one. ;)
Jessie does play an important role on the ship as a fighter and kind of chamber maid for the crew. He washes clothes, helps keep the ship clean and functioning, cooks and entertains the crew with songs and stories. He also provides entertainment for Aria as a body to keep her warm at night and a playmate when things get boring. Jessie more than happy to spend some down time tied up and gagged next to Aria. He even spends most of his time in leather cuffs, attached together by a length of chain and a collar with a leash hanging from it. And Aria's always buying or stealing clothes for Jessie to wear and show off to the crew. While they still feel awkward about it, they can't help but hoot, holler and swoon at the sexy fox boi. When it comes time to fight, Aria unchains Jessie and lets him loose. They make a great team and a cute couple, although neither wouldn't openly admit it. ;)


Wow! Long synopsis, but that's just the gist of what the story would be like. :)

And much thanks to  tatious or drawing this for me. ^_^
