Passions

• Collecting trophies from his catches and things he's seen $
• Seeing new places and meeting new people $
• Trying new things
• Learning new stories

Convictions

• Keep it interesting. Boredom must be avoided at all costs.
• You should try everything at least once.
• A dull life is no life worth living.
  • Nor is a pained one.
• There is so much more out there than anyone can imagine. $
• Don't sweat the small stuff; no point in getting all worked up over some stupid name.
• No more death. Not if I can help it.
• I never want to kill again.
• A divided crew is no crew at all

Relationships
Crew - We're solid. $

• Davan Asher - Cap'n of his own crew, and a man to be respected. Nifty Sword and a decent sense of humor from what I can tell. Quite the character, I like him. Looks like we share one kind of experience...sad to say. I'm honored to call him Cap'n. Hope I make it back to Winds after all this...there might be more than just a crew waiting for me. $
• Isidore Firfov - We're in the same boat, caught a long way and a long time from home, but it sounds like 'home' is a lot different for him. I like him, he's a good guy. Glad his friend's back with him. $
• Obiefune Okagua - Quiet but observant, something to be respected. A smith, too, a good solid trade. He's a long way from home, too, from right between me and Isidore. He might end up our crew's first mate. We'll have to see. Good to know he can loosen up a little. He called me a Protector, instead of a Seeker...it's a heavy title to live up to.
• Gerrick MacBoon - The Laird's a good man, and his family makes one hell of a brew. I'm honored to be keeping company with him. $
• Nahuel Drazik - He's one of the biggest guys I've ever seen, I can see why he could be scary to some. But he's just as lost as I am in these waters, and so far he's been pretty okay. I'd like to hear more of his legends. I'll miss him...
• Ateg - Now I'm really getting to know him, that spirit's as deep as the oceans and wide as the sky. He does his father proud.
• Me - I'm just a sailor, really. Third mate of our little crew for now. But I've done more'n I ever thought I would. Still don't like calling the shots, though, Cap'n and the Laird know more about that than me. Obie thinks I'm destined to be the leader, though...not really sure what to make of that...And now I'm a dragon! Sorta. $
• Kentosane - Cute little guy, though not all there. Still, he was a candidate for a reason, I think we'll be fine with him.

Family

• Auk - Grandad, taught me how to fish and brought me up proper with Granny. I'm doing him proud, I think. But I'm never telling him what Ash used to call me. I miss him, and I love him, and I wish he was still here. But at least he got to live his dream before he went.
• Jess - Granny. Rest her soul, she showed me the good points of having something to look back on and got me started with my collection. I hope she's watching from the afterlife.
• Rohesia - Ma. Haven't seen her in years, but I think she'd approve of how I'm living right now.
• Tern - Da. He's off travelling still, but he and Ma check in sometimes by message. He's sent me some things for my collection.
• Petrel - Pete, little brother. We went our separate ways but we run into each other sometimes. He's grown up fine, just like the family wanted. We both have.

Friends

• Isaac Tacklewit - We grew up together, though he was 'prenticed to the ropemaker while I learned under Grandad. We keep in touch as much as anyone can.
• Jamie Bellybuster - James, technically, but the name's too serious for that joker. He got 'prenticed to the cooper, which didn't do much to stop his antics; Sometimes I wonder if he ever grew up.
• Gar Topside - Easily the most serious of us four, he chose to 'prentice with the shipwrights instead of having his profession chose for him. Tough as his namesake fish, too. Glad to see he's doing all right. Having the time of his life, too.
• Han Binh Junjun - Jun's a fighter, no-nonsense type, but she's still pretty good for all that. In several respects, if you follow me. Though I was told in no uncertain terms that it was going to stay at just the once...works for me. Good to see she's okay.
• Teraoka Shinji - Shinji-kun taught me more about the Storm Father than I'd learned back home; 's probably thanks to him I'm more partial to the Cloudfather than to the Gullfather or to Mother Ocean.
• Sean D'Amore - He helped me out more'n once, even strengthened my rod for me when it came near to breaking. A good guy, as humans go. Good to see him again, glad he's okay, even if he is outta his depth like me.
• Duncan Jacques - Duncan's given me more than a few lifts when I needed a ride. More than a few rides, too, if you get my meaning. He's fun. Never anything serious, though, which was fine by me.
• Brynjarr Gunnarson - Never underestimate a six-foot-five sailmaker. He pulled my arse out of deep water a couple times just by looming. Always nice to have a big friend or two. Especially when they'll give you scraps of canvas and oilcloth to wrap things in under the table.
• Wayra Shikoba - He gave me one of my first close-up looks at plants, and let me take one or two of the flowers to press for my collection. Great guy. I try to visit when I can.
• Ashland Macullen - I don't have many regrets, but Ash is one of them; Maybe one day I can forgive myself for his death, but it ain't today. Wherever he is now, I just hope he knows I wasn't lying about loving him. Maybe the pain won't fade completely, but I think I can learn to live with it. All wounds heal with time.

Enemies

• Captain Jonathan Fairfield - The man's had it in for me since Ash died...at least we've got a truce on. Looks like I found out why he retired...and why he really hated me.
• Torval - The Merukisi bilge rat that killed my man. I never meant any harm and Ash was just trying to calm things down when the bastard gutted him like a fish. Water runs in cycles, though, and rain will always fall eventually. He'll get his.

Others

• Airships - Well, they're big enough to be ships, but they fly...and they're faster than anything I've ever even seen. I hope the Marlin sticks around. I'm fond of her. $
• Ash's Compass - The gull-pecked thing's never worked before, and I've never really expected it to. Now it does...and it'll be coming in handy a lot more from now on, it seems. One hell of a keepsake you left me, Ash...At least now I know what it does.
• Troublemakers - Laird Gerrick's bunch, kinda like family. It's an honor to be counted among them.
• Blue Falcons - My new crew, courtesy of Cap'n Davan. Officially, I hope, if I make it back to Winds. $

Goals

• I want to see everything on Shem before I die - No worries about that.
• I will find that Jinshin Uwo again. - Done.
• One day I will go to each of the moons.
• Find a way to keep Fairfield off my back - Done
• Collect at least one thing from every adventure and story.
• Stop our enemies from achieving their goals. - Done. Mostly.
