Magic, Science, and all-the-ways-they-mix Research Team!
There are a lot of forgotten relics, forsaken lands, and forbidden arts lost to the waves and time. The Raiders of the Lost Arts are dedicated to finding, researching, and potentially utilizing whatever they can find. Legal methods of acquiring information and research materials may or may not be followed. The crew is also incredibly inclined towards Moon-themes and most of them are bibliophiles.

Notable Items
Ancient Tome of Forbidden Knowledge "A tome depicting ancient, forbidden arts from a long-lost arcane practitioner. The book is so ancient it's actually difficult to read or make out anything, and it also seems to have a habit of trying to bite the reader."; picked up on the off chance it has something in there that matches the handwriting from the Tombstone Rem is investigating and starting the magic research library off the correct way: with forbidden knowledge and violence (biting) - Donated by Dongfang Qingcang
Player: Autumn Character: Dongfang Qingcang User Name:yuezun Alliance: Corsair Personality: Dongfang Qingcang is a self-important jerk who is used to being the most powerful and important person in a room. He is often very cold and unintentionally rude towards others and has almost no sense of other's personal spaces - but he does have a very strong sense of his own. A what's his is his and what's yours is also his mentality in many ways. He can and will respect (some) boundaries, but often has to have them pointed out in the first place. He is also protective of those he considers to be 'his people' - congrats crew, you're 'his people' - because it's only if someone is one of his people can he allow himself to take responsibility for them and show loyalty to them. Handwaved Interactions/Assumed CR:
Dongfang Qingcang only technically needs to eat a single meal a day, but can definitely be found idly eating at odd hours. Particularly if there are sweets left out and he hasn't explicitly been told they're for/belong to someone else.
He can be caught reading in his office when there is little else going on. The books he reads range from dry histories to racy romances and all of them are studied with the same scholarly intent of a well-practiced researcher.
He's probably been caught stretched out and sleeping on the upper deck, under the canopy at the stern, with Deathstar purring away on his chest more than once.
Have you explicitly told him to knock before coming in? No? Then he's definitely walked into your room without knocking or announcing himself in any way and demanding your immediate attention without any consideration for the state you may be in at the time he does so. Also without any shame or embarrassment for what he might have seen.
Is just enough of a busy-body that he might end up following someone around for a while watching them do their work, occasionally asking questions, or perhaps even telling them they're doing something wrong; he doesn't seem to have any malicious intent, but rather when he's otherwise unoccupied and/or not been around someone for a while (i.e. when he's bored and lonely and doesn't understand those are what drives his urge to be nosy)
When Orchid is aboard ship, he tends to follow her around, and/or check in on her by asking others if they had seen her, what she's getting up to, and generally keeping tabs on her to make sure she's okay and happy.
