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!

Paragon SweetgrassParagon is a gunner/sharpshooter and gun mechanic who fixes, builds, designs, and steals guns (and about 4 feet tall)

She is a honey-raccoon badger (half honey badger half raccoon) "fugitive/criminal" on 'watch' (they (imperial army) cannot find her), and just got off probation for both stealing and infiltrating imperial ships and upgrading their guns beyond what they (army/imperial) public standards are (but desired in covert operations and off the book missions) she was going to be recruited into the imperial army to use her skills (and hoard them) but she left probation and immediately snuck onto a ship to check out their artillery, the ship took off, and she eventually got found taking apart guns and eating a galactic honeycomb and was eventually inducted into the Violet Sparrow's crew as a gunner and gun engineer/mechanic.

As a honey badger, she is naturally fearless, and can get extremely possessive and aggressive, but her raccoon aspects give her a bit more control over her mental state. She's a very curious soul and is quite blunt and straightforward in almost all aspects of self, often needing to be 'supervised' to not stay out of trouble, although kind of inevitable for this honey-raccoon badger.

Loves honey, building (and testing) guns and other artillery. She learned a lot from observation and being on her Moms' ship and crew most of her life, as well as getting involved with civil wars and uprisings solely to upgrade weapons. Currently learning how not to be so morally grey, but has general interest in figuring out motivations of the beings' artillery she upgrades (before giving them very optimized weapons).

She uses a full face mask that attaches to an oxygen tank to breathe in space

I believe there is already a gunner so i wanted to make her build them and a good fighter, so she's probably a lower rank under the current master gunner.

Note about her super long toe claws: I partially got carried away while drawing them and couldn't/didn't want to redo them after the fact, but when she allows them to get this long they definitely scratch up the flooring of the ship and is forced to buff the floors by the janitor and rest of the crew.

Tldr; a honey-raccoon badger who likes to break into places to fix and upgrade guns

I really her character sheet! She is very interesting :00
Ohh she is so cool! I love the muted tones of her outfit & her sharp claws a lot! Never knew i needed a gun-stealing honey-racoon-badger & firearm-engineer in my life haha!
Seamster is a huge fan of sweet things, so perhaps they could bond over honey sometime hehe! 🍯
OH BOY MAXTEN'S EXCITED FOR THIS ONE! Also, very long maybe? "One day, I noticed that our guns . . . ok, MY guns were being deconstructed, and I soon found the source: Paragon Sweetgrass. I was hesitant to go 'Mad-gunner' on her at first, but then I talked to them. When she said she was experience with guns, I was hooked immediately. It started with me begging Loretta to keep her as if she was a pet, then it turned to a legitimate chat. Sooner or later, she's gunner/gunsmith. Two things then happened. One was I became the Master Gunner, and two was I now had someone to geek out with! While I do teach 'er some things 'bout gun combat 'n stuff, she also teaches me how to improve my weaponry. Overall, she's a great addition: no bias in that statement whatsoever." As for me, I WASN'T EXPECTING A NEW GUNNER BUT IT WAS SO COOL BECAUSE I'M NOW LIKE 'MAXTEN HAS A BUDDY-BUDDY GUN-BUDDY'! THEY ARE SO COOL AND I LOVE THE DESIGN!
OOOH SHES SO COOL!!!! i love a morally grey character too :) welcome aboard, paragon! :D
