Esra Ibanez





"You don't survive on the open sea by being stupid!" Esra was born in 1780 to a Tunisian hooker and a lucky British pirate. She was raised in the brothel and then on the streets, learning the trades of the criminals around her. She caught the eye of her sire who tested her the way all Lasombra test their childer.

After the true end of the era of Barbary Coast piracy, Esra and her sire took their fleet to southeast Asia, running slaves and guns throughout the Philippines and then up the coast and into China and Japan. This lasted until the early 1900s, then they moved through the Indian ocean and the middle east/north and eastern coast of Africa. - The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh!

During both World Wars, Esra worked for whoever would hire her on either side, using a long list of aliases to escape authority. During this time, she amassed quite a fleet, upgrading as technology changes, from sail to steam to the tech of modern nights.

Esra has spent the last two decades running a small flotilla of pirates out of Somalia. She would run anything, take any prize unlucky enough to cross her path. She finds herself in Miami tonight after a rather distasteful run-in with law enforcement. She’s being forced to lay low and rebuild. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. Appearance and Personality The creature known as Esra Ibanez is a fetching female of about one and a half meters tall, long black hair and eyes the color of the Caribbean sea at midday. At first glance, people are taken by her beauty, but then she opens her mouth and you realize that she's as salty as they come. At one time, she was one of the most feared pirates that made the trade on the seas and she'll never let you forget it. Whether in conducting business or dealing with her crew, she is shrewd yet gregarious. Every interaction is a chance to make a new friend and earn a profit, so why not have fun yeah? She doe not try and hide her affiliation either, so she is always dressed as though the next big score about to fall into her lap, ready to set sail at a moment's notice. Noteworthy Flaws
 * Eerie Presence - She smells of the sea and gunpowder, like all proper pirates of a certain age
 * Deaths Reflection - Unlike others of her clan, she DOES appear in mirrors or other reflective surfaces; the reflection is that of a walking skeleton inside whatever outfit she's currently wearing

(Did we do something together somewhere in this timeline! Feel free to add!!) (Pls add your own!) "Filth, you will pay for your insolence."
 * 1780 Birth - Born in the back room of a brothel in a port city without a name, Tunisia, North Africa

 * 1900ish Came back from the far east to the Medditerian just in time for WW1
