Abbey Rhodes

Appearance
Abbey is a young, physically fit human woman of slightly taller than average height. She has blue eyes and long, brown hair which is braided and goes over her shoulder with an orange bobble on the end. On her left cheek is a scar which she received during a raid on another ship.

Abbey’s clothing includes traditional pirate elements including a dark blue tricorn hat and an eyepatch which she will put over either eye. She also wears a white button-up shirt which has had its lower half ripped off, showing Abbey’s toned stomach, and brown leggings with a darker brown cloth going around her hips, held in place by her belt. On her belt are holsters for her two pistols and a sheath for her longsword, and she also has boots and the flag of her crew on her back with its corners tied over her shoulders.

Backstory
Born in Wales, Abbey moved to Docktown, an island town not too far away from Paradise Island, with her family at a young age. At the age of 15, dreaming of a life of adventure, she ran away from home to the Cutlass Cluster, a group of islands that has modern technology while retaining 18th Century pirate aesthetics. During her time on the island, she encountered Benjamin Harrington, the captain of a ship known as the Valkyrie’s Breeze, a ship well known in the cluster for its attacks on corrupt traders and more villainous pirates. Harrington brought Abbey into the crew, and developed a father-daughter relationship with her for the year she worked for him, until he was killed when the Valkyrie’s Breeze was attacked by the Cutlass Cluster’s navy. In his dying breath, he passed the role of Captain to Abbey, and for the next three years, Abbey continued to lead the crew of the Valkyrie’s Breeze as they work to put an end to the corruption in the seas surrounding the Cutlass Cluster.

Personality
Abbey is a very headstrong individual who has a strong sense of justice. Her confidence and strong will can make her come across as stubborn, she always tries to do what she thinks is right. Despite this, she can be talked down from doing something if a better alternative is presented. As the captain of the Valkyrie’s Breeze, she’s a very caring individual, making sure that everyone on the crew is happy and being seen by all of them as an older sister, and can become aggressive if anybody threatens her crew. This is also a weakness, however, as she doesn’t allow herself to show any weakness in front of her crew, resulting in her bottling up a lot of negative emotions.

While she is with the other main characters of Peblo’s Pixel Paradise, she becomes doubtful of her abilities as a leader due to being regarded as the baby of the group, and often tries to prove herself, usually in extreme ways.

Abbey’s Crew
As the captain of the Valkyrie’s Breeze, Abbey is responsible for the wellbeing of her crew, which consists of Quartermaster and second in command Joel Younghart; helmsman Patrick Hatton and his half-brother, Chris, who is the ship’s chef; first aider, Tom; and new recruit Dorris Langston. Despite being significantly younger than Joel, Patrick and Chris, she has developed an older-sister dynamic with the crew, and has developed a particularly strong bond with Dorris, understanding and relating to Dorris’ situation of being young, new and inexperienced. Abbey carries a great deal of responsibility on her shoulders to keep the crew safe, but she refuses to show any weakness to her crew in case they see her as a weak leader.

Slash
Abbey will perform a basic swipe attack against an opponent using her sword.

Plunder
Abbey will attack the enemy, dealing some damage and also stealing items and gold from them.

Pistol Piracy
Abbey will fire multiple shots from her pistols. This attack can hit multiple times, but since she is not aiming precisely, there is a chance some shots may miss.

Stab ‘n’ Cap
Abbey will charge at the enemy and stab them, then shoots them with her pistol.

Glass Cannon
Abbey pulls out a glass cannon and fires it, dealing major damage to the target with additional splash damage.

Equipment
Abbey’s main equipment consists of her twin pistols, which she was given by Harrington, and her longsword, which she obtained during an attack on a corrupt trade ship. Her pistols are designed like old flintlock pistols, but function like modern day firearms, having a magazine chamber for ammunition and being overall more efficient and accurate. While not fully trained with the sword or pistols, her ability to adapt and learn quickly has helped her to become proficient with both.

Trivia
