Maine

The name's Maine Witch and don't forget it. A name feared by all sailors, merchants and trade ports. Not only was Maine an excellent strategist that allowed her to counter any battle tactics thrown at her, she was also a fair, democratic captain compared to the tyrannical rule by the former captain - now prisoner in his own ship, ironically - which made her well received by the crew. After pillages for treasure and gems, the crew and captain got equal shares of the loot split among all of them.

Unlike many other Veleno who hide their claws by gloves, Maine shows hers off proudly, daring anyone to cross her for they'll be shown the same fate as the ex captain. In battle, she is often seen banishing a thin, long, silver rapier. The cutlass on her belt was mostly for show. It drew the enemy's attention elsewhere, an opportune window for her as she went in for the kill.

The legends of her conquests spread far and wide. Bounties were placed on her and her crew's heads. Anyone that brought the all the severed claws of Maine Witch, would be rewarded with treasure, gems and a light sprite - the rarest and oldest of all the Faen, direct messengers of the deities. Why the severed claws? Velenos were feared by the rest of the elements and were only allowed to interact with others if they cut off their claws, preventing them from poisoning anyone even accidentally. Great hunts have taken place to eradicate the Velenos over the centuries. Now, there are only a few Velenos, direct descendants of the Plaguebringer, left to wander this world.

Maine was one of the more infamous ones and that was how she liked it. She liked the challenge, the thrill of battle. It was like a game of chess with much higher stakes and she loved a good game of 'battle' chess.

So, will you challenge her to a game?
