Description
It takes a strong personality, ruthless cunning, and a silver tongue to keep a gang of bandits in line. The Waverider has these qualities in spades. In addition to managing a crew of selfish malcontents, Waverider is a pirate captain with a ship to protect and command. To keep the crew in line, she must mete out rewards and punishment on a regular basis. More than treasure, a Waverider craves infamy. A prisoner who appeals to her vanity or ego is more likely to be treated fairly than a prisoner who does not, or claims not to know anything of the Waverider’s colorful reputation.
Waverider has sailed on a oceangoing vessel for years. In that time, she faced down mighty storms, monsters of the deep, and those who wanted to sink her craft to the bottomless depths. Her first love is the distant horizon.
Waverider spent her youth under the sway of a dread pirate, a ruthless cutthroat who taught her how to survive in a world of sharks and lawlessness. She’s indulged in larceny on the high seas, and sent more than one deserving soul to an watery grave. Fear and bloodshed are no strangers to Waverider, and she’s garnered a somewhat unsavory reputation in many a port town. No matter where Waverider goes, people are afraid of her due to her reputation.
