His white shirt and black breeches are finely made and well tailored to him, and they conceal his armor underneath. Occasionally he wears a long red coat and a three cornered hat, but that is more when he wishes to present himself and make an impression. His long black hair is worn loose on the shore, but tied back in a pony-tail to keep it out of the way at sea. His sea blue eye exude a piercing gaze.</p><p></p><p><strong>Background:</strong> Captain Jonathon Swoops, of the Moon Goddess, and Honorable Pirate of the Seas is renowned as a sailor and a leader. The Moon Goddess is one of the fastest ships on the seas, and her crew is one of the best trained. Known for being trustworthy in deals, as well as good to his crew, he commands incredible respect from those in the sea-going community.</p><p></p><p>Little is known of how Captain Swoops came to command the Moon Goddess, but he does and does it well. With his right hand man, Phineus Morgan, priest of Fharlanghn, he has rounded up a fine crew. Rumors vary from him stealing the ship, him taking over the ship when another pirate retired, to even a noble backer keeps him on a payroll. However he ascended to captain, he cuts an intimidating figure, a hard bargain, and is a skilled swordsman to boot. At least, that’s what is known.</p><p></p><p>The real story is much harsher. Jonathon was the first mate under Captain Hunter of the Razor Fin. A man called Darius Vargo managed to reach a position of some authority on the ship, and cultivated a harder, more brutal pirate attitude. The Captain was against this, and had reprimanded several crewmembers for killing unnecessarily. Darius rose up against the Captain and slew him. He was prepared to kill those remaining loyal to the old Captain till Jonathon talked him into setting those left adrift in one of the rowboats. The boat drifted for a few days, and every night, Jonathon looked up to the moon and prayed that the crew could find safe land.</p><p></p><p>The boat drifted for almost four days before finally landing on an island. It was a rather large island, and Jonathon immediately took charge and organized the remaining sailors to build a suitable shelter and find food and water. Within days, they had built a large shelter to keep them out of the sun and rain, and had gathered some edible berries, fruits, and had even managed to catch a few wild boars. Then, he began to set up scouting missions. </p><p></p><p>Not being above his crew, Jonathon set off himself to explore one of the rocky outcroppings near a cove. Finding a cave with light on the other side, he entered cautiously, and emerged on the other side to find a dock, with what seemed to be an abandoned ship. Jonathon explored this ship, which was in pristine shape and had an aura that Jonathon could feel. He entered the captain’s quarters, and saw a suit of armor on a rack with what looked like the captains log on a pedestal next to it. It read “Those who are guided by the moon may don the Captain’s Mantle and take command with the Goddess’s blessing.” Jonathon, in almost a trance, donned the armor, feeling it’s magic flow through him. He felt alive, in charge, and ready to lead his men back home. He put his clothes over the armor, and returned to his crew.</p><p></p><p>When he returned, the crew noticed his obvious change in demeanor. He told them to quickly gather their things, for salvation was at hand. The crew, excited but confused, gathered all the food and water they had gathered, and walked back with Jonathon to see the ship. The crew stood in awe upon entering the cave, while Jonathon stepped on board the ship and said to the crew “I will entertain any challengers for captaincy of the Moon Goddess.” To his surprise, Phineus Morgan responded, saying “You’ve kept us all alive so far. I don’t know a man here who wouldn’t be proud to call you captain.” And the crew responded with shouts of “Hail Captain Swoops.”</p><p></p><p>So, the new Captain had his crew load up the ship, gather any other supplies they felt they could, and set off. Despite having a bare crew, the ship made excellent time and handled like a dream. Under the Captain’s fine command, his new crew sailed into port. Secretly, each night, Jonathon says a simple prayer to the unnamed moon goddess, and asks for simple guidance and prosperity.</p><p></p><p>Rumors of the Captain spread, and he has had little trouble finding a crew in any port he sails to. However, he has been unable to find the island again in his travels, nor does it appear on any map.</p></blockquote><p></p>
