FOR NOÉ

Nyoka

Subject to Change

There’s nobody Noé argues with more than Nyoka. He enjoys it immensely, as he does with most people he likes. Nyoka and Noé have a history of being bitter rivals, but Noé was never one to hold onto that. Their arguments are ringed with the blossoms of romance, and to Noé flirting and giving people crippling self-esteem issues are one and the same. He’s just here to enjoy himself with rough housing and creatively offensive barbs. It can be hard to tell with Noé - and, to be honest, it can be hard for him to tell - but he seems to have some sort of feelings for Nyoka. Or maybe it’s just the adrenaline rush that makes his cheeks turn red when Nyoka calls him names.

Princess Anastasia

Noé hasn’t really interacted with the princess yet. A lot of people are excited about having royalty on the ship. Or terrified at the idea that they just kidnapped a princess. Noé does have the vague feeling that this one might be harder to weasel out of, and his government work is about to become more scarce. But he holds onto the belief that things will go well for him no matter what. As for the princess herself, Noé is quite aware he isn’t the kind of person a princess would approve of, and he’s content not to interact much.

Captain Spork

Now, this is the kind of captain Noé can live with. Sure, their old captain was fierce and formidable, and led them to many great victories. But those great victories were grueling work, and Noé always complained that they didn’t have enough time to rest. Captain Spork is making life a lot easier for Noé. The old captain barely tolerated Noé coming and going. Spork seems only mildly concerned. The old captain worked them like dogs. Spork is a fun-loving guy who treats his crew more like friends. Noé liked him before he became captain, and is quite content with him as captain now. That doesn’t mean he’s loyal, though - in fact, his dedication to the ship seems to have waned significantly since Spork took over.

Gore

Though Noé is in and out of the White Tides, he and Gore are always glad to see each other. They’re not the best of friends, but they get along well. They enjoy arguing with each other in a way that makes casual bystanders concerned. Sometimes Gore wants to take risks and do some thrill-seeking, and Noé is always willing to join him. He’s quite easily convinced to do fun and dangerous things with Gore.

Arthur

Noé and Arthur get along very well. They both have dubious morals, and while others may take issue with Arthur’s strange experimentation, Noé’s the first to volunteer to collect animals for him. They’re pretty friendly, and Noé flings out an insult now and then to show Arthur he cares. He trusts Arthur’s medical expertise and doesn’t have any qualms about his rather unsavory reputation.

Red

Noé can certainly be overbearing, rude, and incredibly lazy. Red, on the other hand, is the opposite. Noé scoffs at his overwrought work ethic and politeness, and while he tries to handle Red more carefully, he still tends to hurt the man’s feelings. He’s not great at interacting with Red, and finds it’s often best to avoid him. He thinks of Red as delicate, despite the fact that Red is a very capable pirate, and this irritates him.

Pov

Noé adores Pov. He’s like the father he never had. Except that Noé did have a father. Who was remarkably similar to Pov. So he’s like the father he actually had. Noé is never offended by Pov’s rudeness, and in fact that makes him trust the man more. Out of the people on the ship, the only one Noé seems to have any real loyalty to is Pov. He goes to him for advice masquerading as verbal abuse, and thinks of him like family.

Aziz

Noé has never been paticularly fond of Aziz, who tends to make hem work too hard. He doesn't hate her, but he finds her hard to talk to, and tries to avoid her so he can get some relaxation. She always seems to be judging him - and evryone else on the ship.

Marcos

Marcos is an easy peron to get along with, and Noé likes him very much. He as all kinds of fun hobbies, is interested in weird animals, and has a sharp tongue. Noé loves arguing with him, and likes to call him Captain Marcos, especially in front of Spork. Just a bit of a tease.

Marco

It's vey rare for Noé to dislike anyone. But oh, how he hates Marco. He doesn't seem to have any good reason for it, but he's uncharacteristically cold to the man, and ignores him when he can. Sometimes he flings an insult or two, sharp-edged ones that are nothing like his usual friendly badgering.

FOR AZIZ

Nyoka

Aziz has a sort of balance with Nyoka, and they have some mutual respect, though she's not the best at showing this. Mostly, she hovers around him and favors him for harder tasks. He also loves flowers, and she enjoys sitting around ethusing about flowers with him. This is specifically why he's a particular favorite of hers.

Princess Anastasia

The princess is pretty new on th ship, and it's definitely not Aziz's job to care for her. She's teermined to make sure their prisoner is treated well, though, and she might strut around her now and then looking impressive. That way when - and if - the princess is returned home, she can spread word of Aziz's imposing might.

Captain Spork

Aziz is very loyal to her, though it can be hard to tell. She's constantly giving orders, undermining him, and overstepping her bounds in small ways. When he's around, she's extra harsh on the crew, and she ometimes lingers near him hopig for further orders. Everyone knows she was next in line as captain until Spork clawed his way up. Surely she must resent that, thoug she hasn't said as much.

Gore

Gore and Aziz have a somewhat tense relationship. They certainly don't hate each other, and on occasion they get along. But Aziz finds Gore's recklessness irritating, and his quiet nature something to be fixed. He used to be jut another crew member, and she would mostly ignore him. Now, though, with so few of them left, she's taken it upon herslf to discipline him

Red

Red is certainly one of Aziz's favorite sailors. She often holds him up to the others as a model of hard work and good behavior. She enjoys giving him peronal orders - especially ones only Captan Sprok should be able to give - because she knows he's good at following them. To her, he's like a star pupil is to a student, and she's quite proud of him. She likes to take some credit for what a fine sailor he turned out, though she's hardly trained him.

Pov

Aziz never really liked Pov, partially becaus she doesn't think cooking is a "real job" but mostly because she can't stand the way he talks. She never took an insult well. She geneally ignores Pov, who she thinks of as unimportant to the ship.

Noé

As with Pov, Aziz never could handle Noé's constant insults very well. Besides that, he's not a hard worker, and he's never been loyal to this ship. Like with many of her crew, Aziz is always on him about self-improvement, pointing out his many flaws. He seems like a hopeess case to her, though.

Marcos

Aziz seem to have a special hatred for Marcos that isn't really justified. She's hard on the crew, but she's hardest on Marcos. She seems to have it out for him, though she'll deny any such thing if asked about it. She's constantly making snide comments and looking at him like a squshed leech on a boot.

Marco

Aziz and Marco get along very well indeed. They're known each other for longer than either of them have been in the White Sails. Marco was in the crew before Aziz, and brought her on. She's very patient with him, and never rough or demanding like she is with the others.
