# AI image prompts

These are the crew descriptions I've used to make the images for the waverider story. Write your image prompt using the names, and add the relevant character descriptions below it. Not every attempt will be good, keep trying until it works out.

## Captain Solonex Virellus

Solonex Virellus is the ship's captain, in his 40s. Lean with sharp eyes. Beard, rough looking. His face looks weathered, but he has kind eyes. He is not wearing a hat.

## First Officer Venera Sorn

Venera Sorn is a hard woman, scarred across the face, disciplined, and loyal to her duty. To the crew she is stern but just, a commander who demands excellence not for her pride but for the ship. She keeps her own pain buried deep, but the crew can feel it, like the tension before a storm.

## Navigator and Cartographer Phaedros Pelagos

Phaedros Pelagos is known as the "Island Wolf" in his reckless youth, Phaedros is now in his late fifties, grizzled but sharp. One of the finest navigators of the Olydrian Isles, he is blunt and unafraid to question orders, even from the captain.

## Boatswain Ulfar

Ulfar is a mountain of a man, broad, muscular and loud, with hair like a storm cloud and a beard to match. He is the link between officers and crew, and when he gives an order, even the wind seems to listen. But off duty he drinks, wrestles, and laughs with the crew, calling them brothers and bastards alike. To the men he is both hammer and heart, and they know he'd go to hell and back for them.

## Carpenter Otto the Dwarf

Otto the Dwarf is the ship's carpenter, smith, drunk, fool and general annoyance. Otto is scrawny, skinny, abrasive, annoying, dirty, loud, angry, ugly, offensive, ragged. He has a few lonely red strands of unkept beard. He is wearing a torn vest. He claims he is a warrior, and that his huge oversized rune axe is blessed by dwarven gods. In truth, it's tin over pine and covered in nonsense runes.

## Medical Officer Selene Kavira

Selene was born a slave in Estoria. She is a dark haired and good looking young woman, but has traces of a hard life. Bought by a healer as an apprentice, taught the craft, then cornered for a different kind of service, and escaped. She is a healer of rare skill, though the work wears on her soul. She mends wounds that break her mind, and prays for fewer reasons to use her gift.

## Cook Brannic Tull

Brannic is a ship's cook, a squat man, with arms like hams and a face that always looks offended. He boasts that he can make a feast from anything that once breathed, swam, or grew in the dirt-and often does. The crew say he can cook everything, but nothing he makes tastes like food. He has red hair, and is middle age.

## Severin Valerius

Severin Valerius is round, smiling, and dressed in formal clothes. He has male pattern baldness. Severin Valerius seems a man made of ease and appetite. Beneath that soft laugh hides a mind that cuts like a blade. His charm is his armor, his words his weapons. No one knows where his true loyalties lie, but everyone listens when he speaks. He is fond of saying "Be smart and act stupid"

## Decimus Brutio

Decimus Brutio once fought in the arenas, a slave turned champion who earned his freedom one corpse at a time. He is older now, his eyes cold and patient, his body carved by scars. He leads the landing party. Fighters, scouts, diplomats, killers. He knows when to strike and when to wait, when to attack and when to feint, and he trusts neither gods nor luck. In his silence lies the promise of violence.

## Gato

Gato was born in the gutters of Estorio Ventura and raised by hunger. He joined the army to escape the gallows and found purpose as a scout. He is young, quick, and quiet, with eyes that see everything and a soul that trusts nothing. He moves like smoke through city or jungle and disappears like a lie.

## Arven

Arwen is a miner's son from the Twin Cities, lungs full of iron dust, heart hard as the ore. He's brawler. 30 years old, rough and muscular.

## Rahim

Rahim is a desert warrior who believes every battle is a trial set by the djinn. Dressed in desert garb, carrying a curved sword. His eyes are sharp, his features are angular, yet he looks like he will move with speed and grace.

## Velan

Velan is a man in his 40s, well built. White-haired and silent. He fears nothing. Wearing a roman style leather breast plate and carries a short sword. He has a look of someone who has seen everything, and fears nothing.

## Eira

Eira is a fierce, red-haired young woman. Celtic style pelt cape, pants, pale eyes, and a long axe that once belonged to her mother. A celtic knot pattern silver buckle holds the cape in place. In love with Ulfar, though she, wrongly, thinks no one knows.

## Kethra

Kethra is an attractive woman, looking middle eastern. She is wearing dark, harem style outfir. She is an assassin once in the khalif's service. She is carrying curved knives.
