The Family
Baastian Vahan
(1574-??)
Alignment: 2
Aspiration: Family
Lifetime Want: Become a Captain
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Spouse:
Drusilla Vahan
Children:
Seppi Vahan (1609-??)
Personality:
Positive Traits:
Optimistic, Idealistic, but tends to be flighty and indecisive
Negative Traits:
Obstinate, Inept, Fumbling
Baastian Vahan is a second generation immigrant to Shropshire. His father, born in Algeria to a Dutch merchant and an artisan mother, settled in Shropshire once he'd made his own fortune sailing the Spanish Main. Now, Baastian, his only living progeny, is trying his best to keep his father's fortune intact, but is finding it increasingly difficult to do so, as he gradually discovers he has no head for business. With several ventures failing, he is eager to find a reliable source of income, and is considering returning to the sea, as his father once did. Baastian is a talkative, highly idealist man who hears everything and forgets nothing. The inn keeps him in contact with men of all sorts, and his wide ranging knowledge about Shropshire is of use to many.

Drusilla Vahan
(1574-??)
Alignment: 1
Aspiration: Fortune
Lifetime Want: Head of SCIA
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Spouse: Baastian Vahan
Children:
Seppi Vahan (1609-??)
Personality:
Positive Traits:
Decisive, often to the point of being Impetuous
Negative Traits:
Domineering, Oversensitive, Immature
Drusilla is a staunch loyalist, and fancies herself something of a government informant. With a strong sense of right and wrong, she believes her duty to her country to be her first responsibility, and the fulfillment of her wifely duties a reflection of her proper place in the world. Quick to decide, and loath to question, Drusilla often comes off as one who knows her mind, but the reverse is often the case as her judgment is frequently impaired by her obdurate will and her inability to see beyond the constraints of the moment. Though she sees herself as a dutiful wife and devoted mother, her overbearing adherence to a narrowly defined set of truths often leads her to be domineering and headstrong, leading others to mistake her lack of maturity for strength. Baastian dotes upon her inflexibility and finds her fine sensibility to be evidence of her good breeding, even though she hails from common stock.

Bar Wenches
Lucy Fairley
(1574-??)
Alignment: 4
Aspiration: Family
Lifetime Want: Reach Golden Anniversary
Zodiac Sign: Aries
Romantic History:
Mistress of Lord Richard Teverson
Mistress of King Harold I
Children:
Lucentia Fairley (1608-??)
Personality:
Positive Traits:
Witty, Impulsive, highly Esteemed, Dignified in her bearing and manner
Negative Traits:
Callous, Arrogant--often to the point of being supercilious with those she believes to be beneath her.
Lucy Fairley keeps her past well hidden, for she wishes to forget it herself. Witty, but not clever, Lucy often manages to fool members of the lower classes into believing that she is well-educated, though she never formally attended school. At the age of five, she learned to read from her mistress's chapbook, and committed a great number of Bible verses to memory. Her proud demeanor and clear vision make her behave as one of a higher class, and have made her appealing even to the King his Majesty, who found her the comfort of his heart during his long stay in Shropshire. Her longstanding affair with Teverson produced a single bastard daughter, but has not led to the rise in her fortune, as she had once hoped, though she has begged the fallen lord to help her secure a suitable husband. She hopes with the restoration of his fortunes, some remembrance of the lord's favor may work to secure the future of herself and her daughter, Lucentia. After years of bitter disappointment and delayed satisfaction, Lucy has become callous to those who love her most, and her once esteemed dignity has cankered to arrogance.

Lifetime Want: Join a Ship's crew
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Romantic History:
Lover: Genevieve O'gan
Personality:
Positive Traits:
Tolerant, Industrious, Empathetic
Negative Traits:
Wary, Rebellious
The daughter of a ship's captain, Amie Francis was left to raise herself as a young girl, even before she came of age. To avoid starvation, she learned to be hard working, and to withstand the judgment of others. As a woman, she is tolerant and industrious, but not obedient, and she takes up the just cause of those she finds oppressed. Wary of men after years of mistreatment, she hides her tender heart with a rebellious streak that she exercises willfully and without abandon.
