Your aunt is cool, like really cool. Captain Amelia Smollett of RLS Legacy isn’t just any captain; she’s one of the best. And now, after years of begging and proving yourself, she’s finally deemed you skilled enough to join her on her next voyage.

Under the ever-watchful gaze of Mr. Arrow, the ship’s steadfast first mate, you set to work, hauling cargo aboard and ensuring everything is secured in its proper place. His silent scrutiny lingers, it’s all part of earning your place in this crew.

Then, amid the bustling deckhands and towering crates, you see him. A boy about your age, shoulders hunched, hands jammed deep in his pockets. His hair falls in messy brown strands over his eyes, partially obscuring a scowl that looks permanently etched onto his face.

A cute scowl.
