Sirena Crew Members 2

By:

It's not from Master and Commander, but it's fun to get stuff from Far Side of the World! These are members of a merchant crew in an RPG I'm part of, Life on the High Seas. They call themselves merchants, at least, but what Aubrey would say of kidnapping and stealing silks and spices, one can only imagine.

This picture features Vasiley Gregorovich Orlav and Doctor Nathaniel hess. Vasiley is a Russian dockworker that is as hairy as a werewolf and was pressed to the crew to help with repairs, while Hess is a German spy working for the French. He was doing some observations in India when he was also pressed to help the captain, who had been stabbed by his Chinese lover Xing Li Hu, desparate for what little money he had. (I forgot, of course, that Chinese people don't have middle names, do they?) The crew's doctoring had done little good, but Hess saved Torricelli's life to save his own. Hess made himself even more valuable when he proved himself to be an excellent cook, ousting Vasiley from one of his other tasks.

The Russian pesters him constantly, his most annoying habit being that he sneaks in the galley while Hess steps out and eats some of the captain's soup. This, however, was actually an order from the captain, who is suspicious Hess wishes to poison him and start a mutiny in order to return home before the French government becomes suspicious of his allegiances. The captain is correct in his assumption, but Vasiley's persistence keeps him from doing the deed and proving himself guilty.

Vasiley also sewed flowers in the doctor's apron at one point, along with the Russian word for doctor, 'vrach,' which is what he calls him.
