One of me (I have many characters) is a naturalist, interested primarily in odd, unusual and fantastic zoology, paleontology and archeology. She is a specialist in zoology, both present and past, but particularly enjoys finding artifacts from ancient civilizations as well, and she has no qualms about picking up and keeping whatever she finds, regardless of whose property she may be on. She will use whatever transportation presents itself, and pirates are in more danger of being accosted by her than vice versa, as they will take her to places that reputable transports simply refuse to visit.
Another character is, in good times, a deck-hand on a traders' transport, sometimes by water, sometimes by air, sometimes crossing the metaphysical borders between worlds and realities. She works hard and honestly for whoever will pay her- she herself is not a pirate, though she has been employed by a few. In bad times, dock work ties her to land and she resents it greatly. Someone once taught her to sing, and someone else to handle a short sword, not well but enough to keep her alive. With that, and her travel experience, she plans to make her future as a trade-line drifter until she can take a permanent position as deck master or mapsman aboard a favorable vessel.
