CREW LISTS
(List of positions can be found here.)






“They assigned you to the Victoria II right out of the academy? Who’d you piss off?”

Despite the Victoria II being the most prestigious, competent, and well-known ship in Ivona’s military force, this is a rather common reaction to the news that someone’s been placed there. Perhaps it might have something to do with the captain, Admiral Manfred von Karma; after all, when serving under a reputedly unstable perfectionist, things are bound to get a bit stressful. The captain expects nothing less than flawless performance from his crew and accepts only the most elite crewmen. Or, he would, if the government hadn’t started assigning crewmen to his ship to ensure he actually had a crew. Considering the ship’s large size and numerous weapons (some of which are questionably legal), a fairly large crew is needed to man the ship, as enough weaponry has to be going to make up for the ship’s somewhat poor maneuverability and defenses. Von Karma considers such things negligible; in the forty years he’s been a captain, he’s gotten through each battle without his ship receiving a scratch- save, perhaps, one, but the battle was won. There have been rumor that he’s been using less-than-ethical methods to preserve his win record, but most of them dissipated rather quickly.

“Wait, what? He picked you? You… you lucky, overachieving bastard!”

Considering the ship’s reputation, it’s hard to believe that anyone would want to be picked to crew it; however, there is a bright side to serving on the ship. If you survive, you’re practically handed a one-way ticket to a position as an officer—and if the captain himself chooses you, you’re probably a god incarnate, unless it’s a carefully orchestrated plan to get you murdered by your envious fellow crewmates. Whatever the circumstance, there are three easy things to remember if you join this crew: don’t question the captain, follow orders, and, most importantly, don’t make mistakes.

If the rumors are true, it may be the last mistake you ever make.

"...And rule number fifty-six: Never, ever, mention my age, whether as a negative or in jest. Is this clear?"

The 4423 (pronounced 4-4-2-3) is infamous for its puzzling name and its equally puzzling captain, fifteen-year old Yuuko Amasawa (nicknamed "Isako" by a drunken crewmate one day, much to her chagrin). As the youngest captain in the fleet, she makes pains to run an orderly and respectable ship, a feat which is easier said than done with a crew of wild Vohemaros. In attempts to counter this she is strict with her crew, though never unreasonable. All you need to do is follow her every order and you'll surely be rewarded.

While Vohemar has come far from its early pirating days, the country still stays true to its roots and the 4423 is no exception. It is one of best looting vessels in the fleet, relying on stealth and speed to make a quick getaway. It is also equipped with a good arsonal of weaponry, but its speed is definitely its strong suit.

Anyone aboard the 4423 can expect to turn a profit, as the ship keeps up a strict looting schedule. It's been said that the captain is searching for something, and that is why the ship continues to loot at its current rate, but this has never been proven. Just be sure you don't take anything before the captain gets a look at the loot, or you may find yourself scrubbing the bottom of the boat--while it's in the air.

NOTE: The Winding Way is currently CLOSED to new apps until further notice.


"Welcome to an evening you'll never forget on board a ship you'll never forget, The Winding Way."

The reputation of the Winding Way truly precedes itself. The ship itself is a work of art with an intricate woodwork, metalwork and engineering. It is apparently flown by propellers and between the spires, the ornate stage and the arched glass and metal tower in the center of the ship, it would be easy to consider the ship dainty.

When pushed into a fight, however, the ship proves to be anything but. The propellers disguise heavy artillery, and she can hold her own in a fire fight. She has no allegiance to Ivona or Vohemar, and choses to instead use the profits from the crew's various enterprises to help out distressed towns in the Badlands or the forgotten towns of Ivona and Vohemar, herself.

Although the Winding Way used to take a more Robin Hood approach to business—robbing from the rich to give to the poor—the new Captain, Ryuzaki Coil, has a decidedly different view of Justice.

The ship still makes her way by putting on plays, but the addition of the Restaurant and Bar 'Gunsmoke' has changed their focus to hospitality - not thievery, and the crew has always had a taste for adventure. If the price is right, the Winding Way will take you anywhere in Reial to sate your curiosity for what is out there.

Whether you come for the food, the entertainment or the exploration, you can be sure the Winding Way will give you an adventure of a life time.

"You just try delivering something to that cursed ship! See if you come back alive!"

Of all the ships sailing the skies, perhaps the most enigmatic is the Silvana, captained by the reclusive Alex Rowe. It holds allegiance with neither nation, and the true motives and purpose of its Captain are mysterious to say the least. Hardly anyone outside of the ship's crew know what drives him, and most of the crew they know little more than that.

What is known to the crew is that Alex is fighting a private war with an underground organization that he believes is attempting to foment war between Ivona and Vohemar. Opinions differ whether this organization actually exists, or if the Captain has gone around the bend. Those who fall into the latter group generally are just in it for the pay, which (as the ship spends much of its time hunting pirates, a highly profitable trade) is considerable. Only the ranking officers know that many of the actions Alex takes are under orders received from a third party in the form of coded messages, and of those only his first mate knows that he receives those orders from Marius, the Ivonian Prime Minister, as part of the deal that got Alex the ship in the first place.

Alex's relationship with the crew can be best described as distant. He does not engage in casual social interaction, and keeps pretty much to himself. In fact, you could sail all across the continent on his ship and never once see him face-to-face, as he generally delegates disciplinary authority to his officers, and does not engage in their day-to-day affairs unless necessary. However, he will not tolerate betrayal or infighting within his crew, and will come down hard on any such behavior.

Because of the ship's mysterious nature, as well as its Captain's imposing appearance, the Silvana has acquired something of a reputation. In rural areas and among the superstitious, it's spoken of in whispered terms, as it is commonly believed to be a cursed ship, bringing misfortune upon everyone who crosses its path. In other, more knowledgeable circles, it's frequently known as the Kill-'Em-All Silvana, due to its exceptional combat record. But the title that the ship bears the most proudly is the one that they perpetuate themselves: 'The Safest Place On Reial.' With its powerful defenses, constant movement and neutrality, it is often thought of as a safe haven for those on the run, provided that they are able to work or pay their way. Put your cargo or passenger on the Silvana, and you can be sure that no matter what happens, they will arrive safely at their destination.

“Oh, sure, they’ll get the job done. You’ll probably even stay alive, so long as you don’t piss their cap’n off.”

Captained by Ivona-born vigilante Yuri Lowell, the Fiertia (home of the Brave Vesperia mercenary guild) roams the skies in search of pay. She’s got a reputation for a surprising amount of honesty and dedication, so far as jobs go, but her captain isn’t known for his forgiving nature. More than once, Brave Vesperia has turned on clients who tried to deceive them or hide some particularly ugly skeletons in their closets. And it’s not a particularly smart idea to chase the ship down, or so rumors warn. Her coloring blends in with the rolling clouds of Reial's skies, and her oddly large hull hides dozens of smaller fighter crafts.

Like most ships, the Fiertia is steam-powered, though Yuri has installed a secondary power system for when they can afford electrical batteries. Strangely enough, however, neither of these engines appear to have been on the ship originally, and - to further baffle onlookers - she has no sails. The only hints as to what first powered the Fiertia are an enormous leather harness in storage and several helm-sized iron loops on the railings.

While the guild itself has a fairly straightforward purpose - to serve their clients as honorably as they can, and make a nice chunk of change along the way - very little is known about Yuri, aside from his vigilante habits. Rumors name him a madman, a hero, a ruthless pillager, a terrorist, or some combination of it all. Most have some truth to them, but to his crew Yuri is blunt, laid-back, honest, and rather indecipherable. The rumors do hit at least one nail on the head; no one - not even his closest officers - knows what his motives are, or where his share of payment goes.

So then, what can Brave Vesperia do for you?
