Outside the Sea Fox's Inn, Port of Vensponic
Despite the downpour, Amber felt the splash. The obvious cheerfulness in the woman’s voice didn’t help either. But Amber held her temper.
“We’re outside now,” she reminded the woman pointedly, “So unless you would like me to continue following the innkeeper’s advice, I suggest you keep your trap shut-”
“Ow, hey!” Something barreled into her side at top speed, and she sprawled out on to the cobble-stone street. “Watch whe-” she started angrily when the girl, a frightened look on her face, cut her off. She spoke in French – that much Amber could recognize, but beyond that, she came up blank.
“Sorry, don’t speak French,” she replied unhelpfully, clambering to her feet with some difficulty. She looked to the other two beside her, “Any of you happen to- oh.”
Three men in hot pursuit rounded the corner.
Amber started reaching for her guns before remembering the rain. Her guns and the bullets inside them were drenched and more than likely completely useless. “Shoot. I hope you can fight…”
Amber Sommers 'Angel'
Arcane
Name: Amber Sommers
Nickname: Angel (something of a joke from the locals)
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Class: Pirate
Primary Language: English
Alignment: N/A
Affiliation: N/A
Advantages:
Appearance: Link: Lithe and slender like some predatory cat, with uncomfortably long blonde hair and deep amber eyes. She wears mostly black, revealing in a way that is most definitely scandalous, and always sports that kooky hat.
Weapons: Identical twin pistols each with five rounds per reload, a knife in her right boot, and a hidden blade strapped onto her left forearm which becomes a handy wrist-blade with a quick bend of a hand.
Personality: Bold, Fiery, Impetuous, Haughty, Flippant, Roguish
Biography: The fifth child and third daughter of a reputable British nobleman, Amber grew up in the upper districts of the British Shoal, receiving all the education and instruction that was proper for a pampered young lady of the times. It was not the life she wanted, however. The pretentious manner in which the nobility carried themselves, the endless feuding between noble families, and the way everyone expected her to live and act – it was almost as if they had already planned out her entire future! And they did, as she found out to her intense displeasure on her seventeenth birthday: they had arranged her marriage to another promising young noble, one whom she knew nothing about, and had never even met in her life.
It was all too much, and Amber had never been one to think clearly before acting - she left. Left behind the rules and restrictions of the nobility, left behind their petty games and politics, left behind the world of endless parties and ball gowns, left behind the shadow of her siblings and her parents who did not love her, to pursue something more, something different – her own life: a life of adventure and freedom.
She did miss her siblings now and again, especially Christian, who had been the eldest, and Elizabeth, who had been her closest friend and confidant, but the decision was made, and she was never going back.

Advantages:
- Gunslinger: An expert marksman and incredibly fast on the draw.
- Sleight of Hand: Amber is known to dabble in the tricks of thieves and magicians, and is not above employing any sort of deceit or ploy to achieve her ends.
- Melee combat: While not totally inept (you have to have some ability to be able to survive in the dog-eat-dog world out there…), in any serious encounter, Amber is a liability.
- Personality: Brave, reckless, and mouthy, a combination that’s more likely to get you killed than anything else.
