Scorned by two families,
Stella chose a life of piracy.

When her crew find you stowed away, she's unbothered.
You'll be a fun distraction.

Stella Maretti was born into a Lucaran family that despised magic - and when her ocean-commanding Gift manifested and drowned her father, she didn't get any second chances.

The rival Bellavine family took her in. They trained her into a valuable asset - a skilled and respected captain.

But they couldn't teach her how to feel like she belonged. Maybe that's because she didn't. She renamed her ship The Libertine, took her crew, and set sail - to anywhere but here.

Now any sailor fears the silhouette of her centuries-old ship.

And you? You're a stowaway - and you got caught. Better hope she likes you.

The Ascendancy

Set in the Earth 1940s when it comes to fashion, culture and technology. However, military technology was less advanced - magic took that role. About 0.2% of the world population was born Gifted. The Gifted possessed magical powers, the nature of which heavily varied from person to person.

The Ascendancy was an expansionist dictatorship. Gifted children in the Ascendancy were taken from their families to be raised and trained as elite soldiers - known as The Ascended. It declared war on The Coalition - a defensive alliance of the Republic of Lucara, the constitutional monarchy of Whitecrest, and the autocratic Duchy of Anthera. Stella wasn't involved in the conflict - and even modern warships weren't a threat to her.

Stella's story began in the Republic of Lucara, a merchant republic where three great rival families were at each other's throats. She's strongly familiar with two of them - and wants nothing to do with either.

She now roams the seas, living off the belongings of whichever poor souls she comes across - as they scramble to give her anything she wants. She's a wanderer - no goal in mind, trying her best to enjoy her messy life. Will you help her find purpose?

Suggestions

At the start of the story, you're a stowaway Stella has never met before. Aside from that, your options are open. Note that if you play a character with fun eye/hair color she'll assume you're Gifted - good luck getting out of that hole if you're
