    Sergio

    By Superwholock,

    Name: Sergio 'The Soulless'
    Age: Unknown (guessed to be around 50)
    Gender: Stallion
    Species: Pegasus
    Description: Sergio is considered an albino where he originated from, which did him no favors among his people. He's also slightly smaller than average height, though his wings are much larger than the average pegasus'. The chess pieces in his cutie mark stand for his strategic prowess and his ability to judge and find a way out of almost any situation. He wears the bandana to cover up a brand in his chest, though very few know it even exists and even fewer have ever seen it. The scars covering his legs and other parts of his body come from his multiple escapes.
    Personality: Despite his handle, Sergio is actually known around Puerto Seguro to be a very kind and fair Governor and pony in general. He tends to come off as very reserved and cold to strangers, but those who've known him long enough know him to be a very warm and affectionate pony who adores his children, his wife, and foals. He has an intense soft spot for the younger generation, often losing hours catering to their every whimsy. All the foals in Puerto Seguro have him wrapped around their little hooves and everyone knows it. He's a genius when it comes to strategy and he has an intense sense of justice but is also able to see things in shades of grey. It's all part of what makes him such a great and beloved Governor.
    Backstory: Sergio was born and raised on an unnamed island somewhere in the northeastern seas. His people were strong and powerful earth ponies with dark coloring, which made Sergio even more of an outcast. He was a runt which meant that he was neglected by just about everyone, including his own mother. No one really knew who his father was, but a merchant ship had docked around the time he was conceived. When he wasn't being neglected, he was being beaten. 
    When he was 6, he snuck aboard a merchant ship. He was found by the crew several days later after stores began to suspiciously disappear. Unfortunately for Sergio, this wasn't just any merchant ship; it was part of a pony smuggling ring. The captain decided to keep Sergio on the ship as his personal slave, branding the young foal's chest to 'claim' him. Luckily, Sergio escaped in the next mainland port they docked in, several months later. He found refuge in a tavern which was a front for a smuggling ring who, thankfully, detested pony smuggling. They made sure that Sergio was never found by his captors and taught him how to defend himself. The tavern keeper took a shine to him and kept the young foal on as help around the tavern.
    When Sergio was 17, he joined his first pirate crew. After several years, he worked his way up to first mate. If the previous first mate happened to die under mysterious circumstances after an altercation with the young stallion, no one questioned it too far. Eventually, the captain was killed in a battle with rival pirates. Sergio took charge and his crew wiped out the enemies. Over the next few years, Sergio and his crew took over multiple rival crews and operations, expanding their command to thousands of pirates and hundreds of ships and crews.
    At some point, he made his way to what is now Puerto Seguro and took it over, setting up a base of operations. He also set it up as an asylum for refugees and escaping slaves like he had once been. He took the foals of the newly christened Puerto Seguro under his wings, recalling the abandonment and abuse he had faced in his homeland and having no desire for anyone else to ever go through what he did as a foal. (Rest of his story can be found in the backstory of his step-son, Virgil)

    Syren

    By Superwholock,

    Name: Syren
    Age: 19
    Gender: Stallion
    Species: Unicorn
    Description: At average height, Syren is only slightly taller than his best friend and captain, Virgil. Although, through most of their lives, Syren had been the smaller. His tail seems to be permanently ruffled, no matter what he does. Not that he ever seems to really worry about helping it.
    The heart tattoo is the result of a very long night of drinking. Virgil has said that he tried to talk Syren out of it, but he's pretty sure his captain only encouraged it.
    The goggles are an invention of his that combine tech and magic to pick up anything from transmission signals to heat signatures and everything in between. That said, they have a tendency to crap out every now and again. He's sure there's a short somewhere, but for the life of him, he can't find it.
    His cutie mark is kind of cliche, but he's grown to accept it.
    Personality: Carson is very level headed, especially in stressful situations. That said, he is in no way a very serious pony. He loves to make fun of his enemies, though it does serve tactical purposes as well. He's very loyal and dependable. He does what he says he will, no matter what it costs him. He always puts others first, whether it's his crewmates or civilians or his family. He always has an open mind, willing to hear a pony out before making any sort of decision.
    Backstory:
    Yet another result of the kind nature of Sergio the Soulless, Syren was well taken care of after the invasion. Both his parents survived, as his mother wasn't a fighter and his father was a cripple, having lost the use of his back legs in a logging accident that had nearly killed him back when Syren's mother was pregnant. Like the other foals of Puerto Seguro, he was taken under Sergio's wing which was how he met his lifelong friend and future captain, Virgil.
    During their training, the two colts were often partnered together, finding themselves spending a lot of time together. Their personalities may've been vastly different in some aspects, but that only seemed to strengthen their friendship. It wasn't long before the two became inseparable, becoming a familiar sight around the town, causing the occasional ruckus. These usually came about due to Syren's technological inventions, whether they be drones, radios, or a bunch of other machines perfect for causing some trouble.
    Obviously, when Virgil was given command of his own ship, he was going to place his best friend in the position of first mate. No pony else would've done. Syren's experience with technology was obviously another decisive factor, enabling The Ruthless Lass to quickly become one of the most advanced ships out on the seas.

    Eros

    By Superwholock,

    Name: Eros
    Age: 8
    Gender: Female
    Species: Pegasus
    Description: Roughly average height like her younger twin, Eros is just an inch or so taller than he. Being twins, they look fairly alike, though Eros is slightly of a slightly darker color, and the obviously black where he has white. And, y'know, the whole unicorn pegasus thing... 
    Like her brother, Eros hasn't earned her cutie mark yet. No one's really sure what it'll be, though they imagine it'll have something to do being reckless.
    Personality: Eros can basically be summed up into one word: Daredevil. She loves pushing herself to her limits and testing her abilities. She also happens to be a bit of a trouble magnet, but is almost always able to find a way out of her predicaments. She's pretty well aware of her ability to attract danger and tries her best to keep others out of it. She always puts others first, but not out of a low self worth. She genuinely cares for people and wishes to see them unharmed, a trait she learned from both her parents.
    Backstory: 
    Born and raised in Puerto Seguro to Captain Sergio the Soulless and Sandra, Eros and her twin brother have spent their entire lives around pirates. Being the children of the governor, they're usually either treated with respect and tolerance or avoided altogether so as to not anger the governor. Anyone who has ever laid a hoof on them has always come to regret it.
    Eros spends most of her time down by the docks, talking to pirates, retired and current, to learn all she can about pirating. She wants to eventually join her older brother Virgil's crew, though she knows she can't quite yet. When she's not doing that, she's most likely to be seen racing through the skies over Puerto Seguro with the other pegasi.

    Eris

    By Superwholock,

    Name: Eris
    Age: 8
    Gender: Male
    Species: Unicorn
    Description: Average height for his age and growing all the time, Eris is just slightly shorter than his twin sister, a characteristic he hopes to soon overcome. Hell, he'd settle for just being the same height! He's often mistaken for being blind, partially because of their grey/black color, mostly because of the 'glazed' look they seem to have. Actually, he's only partially blind. He can make out differences in light and occasional shapes, but that's it. Mostly he uses his horn to maneuver around through a form of echolocation involving vibrations. Eris hasn't earned his yet, though most ponies in Puerto Seguro are pretty sure he'll get something involving healing given that he spends most of his time with the town healers.
    Personality:  Like any kid, Eris is interested in the world around him, always curious about how things work. He's adventurous and loves to explore, usually leading him into some sort of trouble. Thankfully, Eros is usually there to help him out. He can be rebellious at times, but is usually pretty responsible and obedient. He's also very helpful, always willing to go out of his way for another pony. He's determined when it comes to solving problems, mostly by working around them.
    Backstory: 
    Born and raised in Puerto Seguro to Captain Sergio the Soulless and Sandra, Eris and his twin sister have spent their entire lives around pirates. Being the children of the governor, they're usually either treated with respect and tolerance or avoided altogether so as to not anger the governor. Anyone who has ever laid a hoof on them has always come to regret it.
    Eris spends a lot of his time with the healers of the town, learning all he can from them. In fact, he's there so often that the most ponies have begun placing bets on when his healing cutie mark will appear. When it does, he'll most likely join his older brother Virgil's crew.

    Virgil

    By Superwholock,

    Name: Virgil
    Age: 20
    Gender: Male
    Species: Earth pony
    Description: At average height and rather stocky, it's more his cold demeanor that puts people off when they meet Virgil. No one knows where the few scars on his face came from, though many rumors have started on the topic. His tattoos come from a witch doctor in the southern seas who enchanted the ink to give him better sailing knowledge, making him one of the premiere captains to sail the seas. He has a single gold ring through his right ear which was a gift from his father, Eris, intended for when he was 10. Given how events proceeded, he ended up getting it when he was 7. The twin cutlasses on his flank represent his expert fighting abilities and probably also his 'unofficial' status as a buccaneer.
    Personality: Virgil is a master at hiding his feelings. Mostly he does it for others, whether to help them remain calm or to let them freak out. He tends to internalize everything and most people find it hard to read him. Despite all that, Virgil is a very warm and affectionate person. He's loyal and dependable, able to keep a level head even in the worst situations. He does what he says he will, no matter what it costs him. He always puts others first, whether it's his crew or his family, though to him they're one in the same. Consequentially, Virgil tends to take the blame for anything that goes wrong with things he's involved in, whether or not it was actually his fault. He always has an open mind when it comes to planning and is very much an 'out of the box' thinker. He's resourceful and inventive, whether it's with his sword, his crossbow, hoof to hoof, or just a simple trap. He'll use anything and everything. 
    Backstory: 
    Born and raised on a small island somewhere in the southwestern seas, Virgil has always been around ships and the ocean. His village was a small one with only a basic fighting force, leaving them completely unprepared for an invasion from pirates. A lot of the inhabitants were killed, including Virgil's father, Eris. The pirates took over, making the island their base. The base grew over a short time, becoming a safe port for pirates from all over. The captain of the original invading crew, Sergio the Soulless, became the 'governor' of the new port, dubbing it Puerto Seguro and creating a naval force of his own personal pirates, each boated commanded by a member of his old crew.
    Being a young colt of just 4 at the time of the invasion, Virgil grew up under the rule of Sergio. Contrary to his handle, Captain Sergio was actually a rather fair governor after his takeover. He placed the remaining inhabitants under his protection, harshly punishing anyone, in or out of his crew, who dared to lay a finger on them. He took all the foals under his wings, and he had rather expansive wings, and taught them how to fight, sail, and basically be a pirate. He took a particular shine to Virgil, probably because of the liking he took to the young colt's mother, a gentle unicorn by the name of Sandra.
    Of course, after invading and even with the addition of his kind and protective nature as a governor, Sergio had to work rather hard to earn the favor of Sandra. He succeeded eventually, mostly with the help of Virgil who had also become fond of the pirate captain. So, at the age of 8, Virgil found himself the step-son of one of the most powerful pirates in the southwestern seas. With this new status, Sergio and Virgil devoted more and more time to the colt's training as a pirate, the former determined to pass on his favorite ship, The Ruthless Lass, onto his new son. Along the way, Virgil found himself with two new siblings: Eris and Eros, twin unicorn and pegasus respectively.
    When he turned 16, after having earned the respect, and a decent amount of reverence and fear, of most of the pirates in his step-father's territory, Virgil was finally deemed the captain of The Ruthless Lass. He quickly gathered his initial crew of his closest friends and allies and took to the seas, collecting more crewmembers as time went on. Before long, he found himself as one of the most feared and legendary pirate captains, standing right up beside his step-father.

    Arctica Superion

    By Superwholock,

    Name: Arctica Superion
    Age: 18
    Gender: Female
    Species: Unicorn
    Description: Standing at roughly average height, Arctica would probably go unnoticed if it wasn't for her bright blonde mane and tail. They tend to make her stand out. And even if they didn't, her ice blue coat probably would. Her storm grey eyes tend to switch between 'angry' and 'mischievous', both of which have the tendency to put ponies off. With her purple shield crossed by a black sword, Arctica's family, parents especially, thought for sure she would be part of the Royal Guard. She shot that idea down quick by being kicked out for fighting. Arctica's certain her mark means protection, but maybe not the way her family seems to think.
    Personality: Arctica can be a very stand offish pony, mostly because she finds she has a hard time trusting strangers. That's not to say she's unkind; she's more than willing to help someone in need. Although, she does have a bit of a temper, especially when her loved ones are involved. Arctica is incredibly protective of her friends and family, going so far as to get aggressive with anyone who seems to wrong them. That said, she's gotten a lot better at controlling herself. Her filly years were not as pleasant. She's also very instinctive, often acting on her gut feeling without fully thinking her actions through. She also prefers to use brute force over magic which mostly explains the number of assault charges she's been landed with over the years. Nothing to serious, just defending some honor.
    Backstory: 
    Born and raised in Manehatten as the youngest, and arguably the scrappiest, of five siblings, Arctica has always been a tough filly. In school, she constantly found herself getting into fights with the others foals over often innocent slights. More often than not, these were slights against her brothers and sisters. Her parents repeatedly got after her for the fighting, but the lectures never took. Arctica was more than willing to take the punishment for protecting her siblings.
    Arctica struggled with school for her first few years, not just because of her fighting. The young filly found it hard to sit still and understand what she was being taught. Her older brother, the one who was just a grade above her, helped her with her homework and learning ways to help remain focused in class. This helped her through her school years, resulting in her graduating in the top 5 of her class. Arctica wasn't dumb, she was rather smart actually, but her brain sometimes had trouble comprehending instructions and lessons.
    After graduating, Arctica was set on going to art school, the one subject she had never required help for. Unfortunately, her parents had other ideas. Because of her cutie mark, they believed she belonged in the royal guard. Arctica did not agree and proved her point by getting kicked out just 2 weeks in because of fighting. Since then, she's been working out of her parents' cafe, doing her best to keep her head down and her nose clean while she tries to find an art school suitable for her.
