Welcome aboard The Violet Sparrow!

Welcome aboard The Violet Sparrow!

Let’s make a pirate crew together! anyone who wants to can participate, as long as you use your own art ^-^ ALSO!! there is no deadline, feel free to make a character for this whenever you’d like, this will still be open as long as this post exists! (and i do not plan on deleting it lmao) one more rule is that they must have something in their design that is a way to have oxygen out in space! the deck is shielded but has no oxygen while they are above-deck! as you can see for loretta, one of the more common methods is a veil attached to the hat that makes a little oxygen pocket! they do not have to be human, if you want to do a cool alien design! you can create a character in any role you would like (other than captain) but if you would like to see if anyone else has someone in a single person job yet, thats cool too! hoping for it to be somewhat balanced but i dont wanna be super strict on what job you can or cant create a character in. You can also create a general crew member without a specific job if you’d like! If you need, here is a list and short description of some jobs you could use: Navigator- Someone trained to chart where the ship needs to go and find the best path from destination to destination! Quartermaster- Kind of the captain’s right hand, makes sure the crew performs tasks and takes care of day to day operations and tasks, along with dividing up loot. Boatswain- Someone who keeps the ship in shape for travel and battle. Cooper- Someone who makes sure barrels are secure and stored properly. Mechanic- Someone to help perform fixes that the ship may need. Doctor/Surgeon- Pretty self explanatory, to make sure any crew can receive treatment they may need while away from home. Master Gunner- Someone to keep the guns in working conditions, and make sure the gunners practice proper safety. Engineer- Someone who can ensure the safety of the engine, and fix it if need be. Often works with any mechanics on board. Cook- Someone to make sure the crew has something warm to eat, rations out food in order to make it through long journeys. Musician- Someone to keep the mood light and entertain on long nights. If you come up with any other job that you would like to use, that is welcome too :) It also doesn’t necessarily have to be someone who would stay on the ship for a long time, for instance a hired mercenary or bounty hunter! Feel free to come up with a backstory if you’d like, I would love to read them! Not necessary though if you just wanna design someone who looks super cool :) Also I will put submissions in my sparkly new space pirate folder on my page! wahoo :) one final thing! there is a discord now, if you would like to be in to keep track of character info and answer questions about them n stuff, dm me for the link! if i do not know you, have a character submitted here first please!

Silt[Image Description: A character sheet for a character named Silt. He is an alien with purple fur, and a very elongated torso. There is a full body drawing of him where he loops his torso over itself like a snake. Above this there is text saying: “He is their guy on the inside… on the outside…” There is more text saying his species is called “Mraugh” and that he is a shapeshifter. He has catlike legs, a tail, and large clawed hands. He has curled cat ears, yellow eyes with oblong shaped pupils, and his mouth goes vertically as well as horizontally. There is a drawing with his mouth open, showing rows of long sharp teeth in the separated parts of his face. There is a drawing of him standing up fully, showing off how long he is. Above this, there is a drawing of him shapeshifted into a form resembling someone in a space suit. It is labeled as his favorite shapeshifted form. End Description.]

I hadn’t designed an alien for The Violet Sparrow yet so I figured that had to change!! Here is Silt! aka, the guy Ione found on deck in my last drawing :3
Highly inspired by my love for things that aren’t what they seem, monsters with huge fuckoff maws full of teeth and creatures that are creepy but also cute cats <3

Silt is an informant for Loretta, meaning that most of his time is spent off of the ship (which I am sure is a relief for some, his presence can be unnerving) The Violet Sparrow relies on outside information for certain robberies, and it is exactly Silt’s expertise to procure it. (hence the “he is their guy on the inside on the outside” sentence lol)

now some species notes:
- Mraugh are named for the noises they make, it starts sounding like a meow but ends in a scream-like noise
- Their natural forms are indeed the catlike ones, they generally have different ability levels in shapeshifting (Silt is pretty skilled, which adds to his ability as an informant)
- Mraugh have to smell people, they cant tell faces apart very well. Problem is, they smell through their mouths because they dont have external noses. This looks VERY scary to non-Mraugh species and is often seen as a sign of aggression, when its really more like curiosity/checking who you are
- Mraugh are invasive species in most of the places they live, driving off native species. This is because they are strong hunters and very adaptable to new environments (for example, they can even survive the vacuum of space)

Silt notes:
- He is not very social, but loves meeting any new crew members he can between his visits
- Additionally gets a kick out of spooking people (namely, new crew members)
- Can change shape and colors
- Mischief <3

Big cat, big cat, big cat, big cat! A fucked up tardigrade haha He's cute I don't care he'd destroy me, i'mma pet him >:3

The lore is very interesting too tho!
oooh I love all of the worldbuilding details for his species!! And the long cat energy is fantastic XD
I love him
He is so cool, definitely terrifying and Ione had to encounter him in the dark, she’ll probably have nightmares after that
You already know what it is! Its ya boi Maxten back w another log! Log on Slit: "Shuuder Do . . . Ugh I have to talk about him. Sigh. OK, so, I REALLY appreciate Slit. He is a chill . . . cat, shapeshifter, thing. But Shudder my word he is creepy. I mean, HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GONNA EAT ME WHEN WE FIRST MET! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE WAS SMELLING ME?! Sigh Sorry, too much. Not saying he is a horrible guy or a bad crew member. He just . . . gives me more nightmares than Yamance . . . and they're more frequent." My turn: I LOVE THIS GOOBER SO MUCH! He also be very long.
OMG I love how mischievous he looks!! An informant is a smart addition to the crew ^^ also I just love the Mraugh as a species, specially the sound they make XD I just laughed at the thought of someone expecting a "normal" cat, but the kitty goes from meowing to screaming in an instant-
