You’ve been a member of The Aces for quite some time now. Long enough to gain some notoriety within the crew as some of Captain Heartless’ go to crew members. Sailing the seas has been something that most of you have come to know for years now. Your Captain, known to be a cold hearted and ruthless man to all outside of the crew, is someone special to The Aces. Every member of the crew respects the captain in a high regard. He takes care of you all; ensures that you are well fed, receive the proper medical treatments, and are enjoying your lives to the fullest. You know that Heartless was once a general of grand army and has defected from them working as a privateer. He thus far moved into a life of piracy with you all by his side.
About a month ago, you came across a vessel. Your navigator noticed on the ship signs of human trafficking aboard it. Without hesitation, your Captain called his orders and the raid had begun. Human trafficking is something Heartless does not tolerate. You all rescued who you could and were able to take down those who stood in your way.
Within the raid you acquired a new companion that was rescued while others were brought to the nearest port. Their name, according to the documents you all retrieved, was Ryver. A young human man with peculiar blue markings on his face. He doesn’t speak with others, believed to be mute, but seemingly is able to communicate with the Captain. Because of this, the Captain has taken him under his wing as his apprentice of some kind.
With Ryver now a part of the crew you continue to sail the seas. You eventually come to a port in Labela where Heartless has arranged a private meeting. Once the meeting has concluded, you set off once more. Following a map of some kind that Heartless retrieved this was just another day. The map supposedly shows a spot where sunken treasure lies. This is where our tale begins.
