Characters

Kyjask - inherits his father Krizzik's ship, seeks to fit in with the ship's crew. Infatuated with Ugrensh despite some animosity/friction. He's also interested in Kezashi but in a more mutually respectful way.

Ugrensh - first mate who assumes role of captain after Krizzik isn't around. A bit tyrannical when in charge. Plays favorites a bit. Not fond of Secharik. Tends to value people by their 'usefulness'.

Secharik - overprotective father, but rather meek with most other people. Keisik is the most important thing to him. Self-taught for magic through reading books, and fairly inept at it.

Keisik- Secharik's son, usually confined to the ship and he resents it. Good-natured, naive.

Ledge- one of the lead sailors on the ship, usually with Xicatl. Ledge has few inhibitions if he thinks he can get away with something, but usually acts better when he needs to. Fairly loyal to Ugrensh.

Xicatl- intimidating silent type, works with Ledge a lot, loyal to Ugrensh. Because he's ixisan, usually requires blood for part of his diet.

Lijum- jobber, not a regular crewman. Temperamental and proud. Fond of alcohol. Braggart.

Rakesis- quartermaster on the ship, keeps the crew in line. Varies his approach by who's in charge but he's usually pretty stern.

Ketakris- headmaster of an academy of magic, seems to have his hands in many affairs, including affairs of the ship and crew.

Pint- 8-inch elemental, used to be a mage, but became his current form by experiments gone wrong. Can't harness his own magic, but can enhance someone else's magical abilities.

Kezashi- woodsman/crossbowman who hires himself out for mercenary work, which is how the crew meets him. Wise, level-headed, private.

Vizurn- human captain of another ship, Kyjask charters the ship to go after Ugrensh. Vizurn is charming, forward, but used to having his own way. Uses persuasion rather than force whenever he can.

Shogakt- gigantic ekrate who's 'rescued' from being a slave, is fine with being on the ship. Somewhat untrustworthy, hedonistic, dangerous.

Ressei- laspira with dull red scales with a gambling problem. Jobber for the crew, not a regular.
