He has a large vocal range, and he is very good at imitating other people’s voices. He uses this for performances and to deceive others aswell.

His mother, Valeria Drazhinov , was the leader of the “Sea Witches”, a pirate organization, consisting of multiple crews who did regular pirate stuff like stealing, kidnapping, attacking cargo ships, etc. They worshipped umbrelee.

he is pansexual and aromantic

He is trying to hide his feelings about the losses that happened in his life recently, but he might not be able to fake something on top of it for long.

If you are a player in the D&D campaign, this space is not for you

And this is where we are now.

Having lost his dearest childhood friends and his mother, and knowing that the gang must have had something to do with this, he tried to get an answer from the leaders of the gang, but they cast him out, and started spreading bad rumors about him, which got him to be a target of the gang members.

Some gang members wanted to rise to power and replace the current leader of the gang, which they managed to do. They changed policies and the pirate crews they were allied with were now considered to be under their rule. Romnez’s mother’s crew organized a small rebellion, but it was quickly taken care of, and they also had to answer to the new leaders of the gang. One day, Romnez returned home, and saw the ship painted red by the blood of the crew. He rushed to find his mother, but it was too late. The whole crew, including his mother was slaughtered.

His mother didn’t have time to raise him, and since being a pirate is dangerous, Romnez was only allowed on the ship when it parked safely over their city. (he was in his early teens still) When his mother was away, he trained with his caretakers, who were young adults from a gang called the “Serpent’s Fang Alliance”. This group was in good terms with his mother and her crew. He was still young, 16 years old at this time, so he wasn’t allowed on dangerous missions here either, but he did get to observe them. At 18 he was already pretty high up the ladder of the gang.

Romnez is a 27 year old triton, with a toned but still slim body, he is 176 cm tall. His skin is a greenish tone. He has gill-like openings on his neck that make his skin glow a light blue color around it, with light eminating from his gills. The strength of this light seems to follow his breathing, meaning he can hide himself by calming down his breaths. His face is human-like, with the only difference being his Triton ears. He also has a scar going across his nose, perhaps from an old fight. His eyes are a deep orange. From his back comes a thin tail that is more scaled compared to his body. It has fins similar to his hair color growing on the top of the tail. He also has fins on his calves and forearms.

Now it is nothing more than a symbol of his past he’s unwilling to get rid of even when being hunted by the Serpent’s Fang.

Clothes

Towards strangers he acts quite cold, and doesn’t hesitate to sound his opinions about them. But if Romnez is with people he likes and trusts, he is very laid back and calm. Romnez can act out emotions very credibly. He can be charismatic, entertaining, or basically anything, but this is no more than a mask he ‘wears’ when he sees great benefit in doing so.

4. Upside down, helm side

3. Upside down, trident side

2. Upright, trident side.

1. Upright, helm side.

There are four ways to wear it, only the helm side is known by everyone, the other 3 are signals only known by crew members:

This medallion is made of gold. On the front is a ship’s helm pressed into it, with a blue gem in the middle and green gems on each of the handles. On the back, there’s a trident with two mermaids on the sides, both holding it in the middle. The medallion has two holes in it, one at the top and one at the bottom, so it can be hung upright or upside down.

Romnez likes to sometimes take it off and play with it like a coin

Other crew members got a smaller, silver medallion with the same symbols.

The important members of the sea witches got a medallion, which was used as secret code but also as a way to signal their status to citizens, so that they know who they are dealing with.

The Serpent’s Fang Alliance was in good terms with them, they had a pact and helped eachother out, the pirates helped the gang travel by sea.

This is where he got his nose scar

love it. ✌️ I’d add to the backstory; the playing cards. When you gathered your belongings; or what you could carry within the timeframe Days later you check your deck: There would be one extra card added to the deck before you left the ship. Unknown who added this to the deck. But there is some significance to the day. The card is ...

There are still a few members in the gang who could probably stand on Romnez’s side, but most members are being told a false story about him.

This doesn’t mean the complete destruction of the Sea Witches, but the other crews are now serving the Serpent’s Fang, as their leader is dead.

The gang operates in smaller groups. The groups on the same level meet eachother the most, they take orders from the group above them and give orders to the groups below them, most members don’t even know the leader. Romnez had some closer connections to the leader, thanks to his mother.

This gang does many illegal activities, and they don’t fear prosecution: Protection rackets: since they are in good terms with the nearby pirate crews, they use their relations to get money out of sailors, merchants and other businesses, for “protecting” them from the pirates. They also bribe or threaten officials so that they can easily carry illegal items through the city. This gang is also the main player in the blooming black market on this side of the continent, so they are pretty influential and well known.

Romnez was born on a ship, his mother a pirate captain, his father unknown. He was taught how to go about on a ship and how to use swords, but he was let loose other than that. This ship anchored above a triton settlement in the ocean, so he went down quite a lot and spent a lot of time in that city. The other big landmark in his teens was a city on the coast, where he usually went by swimming, since the ship of his mother wasn’t welcome there.

Have you heard of salt marsh from gang related missions ?

Only a few words about it and he knows the general location of it, not a lot more than that, maybe a few snippets from other people’s journey there.

Do you carry something that a member would recognise (sight) apart from your appearance ?

I’d say the gang does have something like that but Romnez would’ve gotten rid of it once they started chasing him, so its only by his appearance that they would know its him.

He does have a necklace that can be linked to the pirate crew his mother is from, he is unwilling to take that off even if it might give him away.

Does this gang have a name and symbol/visual that can identify a member?
