"In the midst of a storm, keep your eyes closed and listen to the rumbles of engines. If you hear an unfamiliar hum, set your ships' afterburner to max and pray the hull is still intact."
-Anonymous Bantioc Sailor
Feared not only for their ferocity but also for their stealth, the Nautica pirate crew has earned the infamy of all seven major nations. The Captain Razorshard has allowed me the privilege to interview his whole crew. He also granted me permission to delve in the basic and notable functions of his ship, the Nautica.
Razorshard (Gray and White wearing hat and red vest)- The Captain of the Nautica crew. Infamous for his ferocity of attacking several major trade vessels with a unique ability to shred almost any materials with his bare hands. His command is the Word on the ship, defying his order will end the insubordinate follower on the "Chopping Block" a block of metal where signs of dismemberment are still present. Razorshard commands the crew in a crude form of "Pimp over bitches," being a very dominant spirited individual, he is the only leader unless otherwise said so.
Sudarushka (Armed with an anchor with a heart tattoo on his chest)- The Second in Command of the Nautica crew. Feared purely of his brute strength, Sudarushka's loyalty is unquestionably sided with Razorshard, following every command without question as he enforces the orders given by the Captain Razorshard. His responsibility rests as the cook of the ship as well as being one of the three cannon operators. Because he is the XO of the ship, he is considered to the Captain Razorshard as the "Bottom Bitch." unless the captain is absent aboard the Nautica.
Triglav (Dark and Light blue with stripes)- The Cabin boy of the Nautica crew. Not many know of his true nature, the quiet and collected individual masks his past records of numerous violent murders and even reported cannibalism. Yet the Captain Razorshard has taken in Triglav for his immoveable will, one of the best men keeping calm even under immense stress and chaos. As the Cabin boy of the Nautica crew, he is responsible for keeping the Nautica spotless and clean. Even as the lowest ranking member of the crew, Triglav is highly respected for his tenacity in getting things done.
Deepeye (Blue eyes with dark and light brown)- The Navigator of the Nautica crew. Once part of a naval armed forces, his training for battle gives him the upper hand in most situations during a ship raid and capture of hostages. With the advantages of training in the naval force gave him the perk of navigating through Maelstrom in which the Captain Razorshard sees a greater upper hand than most pirate crews as the Nautica is able to take advantage of Maelstrom's chaotic environment as cover.
Ilene (Wearing an eye patch and a cannon for a leg)- The Main Cannon operator of the Nautica crew. The most notable feature is his leg. During his induction into the Nautica crew, his leg was bitten off by the Captain Razorshard during a violent struggle to prove he is a worthy addition to the crew. Now using a prosthetic cannon as his leg, he proves day to day of his value to the crew. Ilene has earned a part of the Captain Razorshard's respect by fending off bogies or authorities not just with his cannon accuracy but with his unquestionable loyalty to the captain's orders.
Loose Tooth (Brown, Yellow, and White wearing black goggles)- The Ship Core Engineer of the Nautica cew. An out-of-the-norm individual with a oral defect where he lost most of his teeth. he still considers himself a ferocious predator, except now he does the hunting with the Nautica, preying on the big fishes of the sky: the major trade vessels of the seven nations. His ability to control the Nautica's core, a powerful "Viodis" <Reanimate> crystal, swayed the Captain Razorshard to take Loose Tooth as part of the crew.
Headlights (Darker and lighter tanned with black and white eyes)- The Relief Navigator of the Nautica crew. Headlights is an all-over member of the Nautica crew, he works around the ship from navigator to cook to helping the cabin boy clean the ship. Although he remains silent most of the time, he does take his work joyfully, cooking meals for the crew, setting up some liquor for the men to enjoy, even scrubbing their scales clean. Throughout his years as part of the Nautica crew, he has yet set foot on a trade vessel the Nautica has raided, claiming this has kept his conscience clean.
The Nautica (The Boneship the crew operates)- The ship's function is unique as it can deform itself to a much planar form where it can laminate itself onto a targeted ship. Doing so prevents any escort ships firing upon the Nautica. because of the materials used to build the vessel, it allows to blend in with the marine life as the vessel can submerge underwater, sail along the waves or fly among the clouds. Using the waters as cover and the storm as a mask, the Nautica works with Stealth, using Clouds as visual cover and precipitation as radar cover, even the most advanced Astos OSAL (Object Scan And Locate) radars are unable to precisely locate the ship until the ship is only seconds away, only hope of evading the ship is to fly away from danger at the highest speed possible, outrunning the already fast moving Nautica.
