Firenova

Firenova is a freelancing pirate currently serving with the Watch My Feet Shimmy crew. Previously he was one of the senior officers and bosun of the crew Pirates Wrath in Hunter Ocean of the flag: This End Up. To those inside his crew, he is often simply known as Fire.

Firenova is best at (and enjoys) carpentry, bilging and swordfighting. His clothes and his ships are coloured blue and white which, although strange for someone called 'fire', a blue flame fire is actally hotter then a red one.

Pre-Officer
Firenova joined the Hunter Ocean in June 2007, a couple week later after his real life little brother Windnova, and lived in his shack on in the. At first his skills were mainly in bilging and non-existant in sailing. He spent most of his time with the navy or off freelancing with various different crews before meeting up with Captain Oigg, and later good friend, of the crew Pirates Wrath who appointed Firenova as pirate and bilge rat, which convinced him to stay in Pirates Wrath.

He soon discovered his skill at swordfight (matching the skills of his fellow crewmates & good friends Countdracula and Iceisback) and carpentry whist his skills in bilging fell slightly. As Oigg often blew holes straight though the ship, Firenova sometimes called himself as damage control (carpentry and bilging). Along with Paxie, he became well known in Pirates Wrath for his ability to never make the crew are never 'normal' or 'quiet'.

About a week before then end of June 2007, Firenova was promoted to officer but not without having the take charge on a sloop as a pirate when the only officer, Oigg, accidentally left the ship in sea battle.

Fleet Officer Of Pirates Wrath
Soon after becoming an officer, he finally decided to spend some money on new clothes. He was surprised to find five days later after becoming an officer that he had been promoted to fleet officer. A couple of days later on July 1st, 2007, Firenova bought his first sloop, the Easy Whitebait, from Aazz’s Shipbuilding Stall on Aimuari Island at a discounted price. Originally the Easy Whitebait had white boards and black rails but the black was quickly repainted blue, his favored color. The Easy Whitebait was left unlocked as Firenova believed that officers without a ship should still be able to take one out for practice and running pillages.

However, due to other commitments, Firenova took a 2-3 month break between September and December 2007. He returned back to Puzzle Pirates in the week before Christmas.

Christmas Return To Pirates Wrath
Returning back to Puzzle Pirates, Firenova was shocked to discovered that the crew had fallen so far since he left. Oigg's switch over from pillages to first trading and foraging then to stalls had led to people leaving the crew. Worst still, part of the crew broke off and made their own crew. Firenova knew when he left that trading and foraging were unpopular but no idea it would become as bad as it did. Many of the ships owned had been sold or gone and apart from one ship in the crew, his own, all were locked.

Luckly, he still owned his own ship and with that, he often ran pillages whenever possible - returning back to where Pirates Wrath began. He was promoted to the rank of senior officer on the 21st of January, 2008. It was not long though that other commitments took hold and Firenova once again left Puzzle Pirates.

Summer 2009 Return
Firenova returned on the 3rd of June 2009. Pirates Wrath had long since been dormant and unactive. Seeing how Firenova was the last person rank senior officer or above, Firenova took the decision to lower the Pirates Wrath's crew flag for the final time - a difficult decision but the right one.

Firenova then became once again a freelancing pirate - offering his wide range of skills to other crews.

Vessels
Firenova's sloop Easy Whitebait is homeported at in the  which is nearly always unlocked for pillages. He does have plans to buy either a longship or a baghlah.
