Hi guys. It's Maaya with her fifth here, BECAUSE OF COURSE IT IS.

Meet Raziya, an unlikely 23-year-old Rivaini ship captain who sails with an all-female crew and takes work from the highest bidder to take just about anything just about anywhere. You can read her rather convoluted story here, but the highlights are as follows:

She's the daughter of a Rivaini Seer and a ship captain who died at sea before she was even born. Unfortunately, she really wanted to follow daddy's footsteps, no matter what her mother tried...
Ran away at 14 disguised as a boy, joined the crew of a smuggling ship.
Was semi-adopted by the ship captain as a protege and taught lots about sailing, fighting, and bargaining.
Got outed as a girl at 19. Would probably have ended up sold to the highest bidder in Minrathous. Instead, staged a coup along with the slaves her former captain was transporting in his hold and took over the ship.
For better or worse, has been captaining ever since. The beginning was fraught with hilarious mistakes but somehow she managed not to get herself and her crew killed, mostly because...
She has an almost uncanny sense for the moods of the sea and the wind. She can sail through just about anything, and she learned enough before being outed to figure out the rest.
She's a Tempest! And she's completely fearless and nugshit crazy when she fights, sorry in advance.

As for how you can get involved with her...

She's looking for new crew members! Looking for a life of adventure on the high seas? SHE'S GOT YOU COVERED. As long as you're female. And by the way...
Hay ladies, haaaaaaay~ Want to play? Because she's been at sea for awhile and could really use some company.
She's been in Cumberland many times in the past! She's taken commissions from various groups, including both Guild and Carta not to mention human traders and so on. Currently, she's bringing in some luxury goods from Orlais and once her ship has had some repairs, is ready to take on another job!
Since she's been here before, she's probably had some local lovers or friends. Hit me up! Friends of either gender, but she only sleeps with ladies, sorry guys. She gives zero flying nugs about your race or political affiliation, though, as long as you're game for some fun.

I knowwwww I need more icons (I am an incompetent at photoshop) but COME AT ME.

	But the important question is, have she and Middy met before or are we introducing them for the first time? Because Ziya would so hit that. Mmmm. And she probably thinks Sorin's a cutie pie. Remind me how long ago he stopped working at the docks? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hmmmmm...... that's a good question??? If they did know each other prior, it likely hasn't been very long, only as long as Midha's been in Cumberland because the only other port city Midha stayed a long enough time at was Kirkwall 7-9 years ago. XD Depending on timelines, I think it'd be fun if they did know each other already~! ^_^ (And no question about it, you know Midha wants in her pants :3)

Six years ago is when he lost his job at the docks, and he'd been working there for 2-3 years before that. Which is when Ziya was still pretending to be a boy. Which could potentially lead to a hilarious backstory. After that, he was mostly visiting Nikolas (maybe occasionally old co-workers, but usually only with Nikolas in tow) to train and such. And we know what his trips to the docks entail these days, obvs~ XDDDD

It would have to be Cumberland, 7-9 years ago is too long by Ziya's timeline as she only started publicly being female 4 years ago (and also she was quite young before that anyway). So if they met it would have been maybe a year ago, last time Ziya was in Cumberland???

OMG PLEASE CAN THE LAST TIME SHE SAW SORIN BE BEFORE HIS ACCIDENT/WHEN SHE WAS STILL FAKING BEING A GUY. Because when he meets her it'll be like WAIT WHAT BUT and she can be like, apparently you lost an arm and I gained some breasts, keep up.

	Yesssss works for me~ :3 ONLY YES. When Sorin was even MORE bright-eyed and naive at the ripe young age of 19. IT IS PERFECT AND DONE. And I need this log. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
