Biography
"Cold blood and salty breath fills my body yet I'm an admiral of the wicked empress queen Elbethiz... I yearned to be a pirate sacking the seven seas! My blood had it! My father was a fine pirate I hear often and me? an Admiral... The year being 1066 moons to the west after Davy Jones sunk his booty to Poseidon."

Hereward got the chance to change the tide with the wind as she double crossed the queen and left the navy and, in the Viridian Ocean, blended into pirate life which came naturally to her. She didn't know where to go, but she knew she could survive in any harsh seas, so began her journey.

Hereward was given the chance to prove her skills first by Lilchik and her crew and the flag Lilith's Lament and grew into the officer post there. Then she joined Lmsk in frequent pillages who taught her how to pillage and set her to the piratey life. She later joined Lmsk's crew under captain Norskgud and crew The Army and became a fleet officer. Here was when she was groomed to be an excellent officer and she sought out to make friends, doubloons and to help in various voyages which gave her a nutritive experience.

Then it was Lmsk and Ooliges (her friend, philosopher and guide still with her) with whom she joined a new crew which amassed fame and respect in the whole ocean. Hereford was one of the founders of this crew named Hope of Meridian along with Lmsk and Ooliges. Both Hereford and Ooliges became senior officers and first and second mates to Lmsk. There she met another pirate, Philosoper, who was a pirate with extraordinary skills and a most friendly attitude. Hereford and Philosoper led pillages together; they did almost all kinds of voyages from battling vikings and barbarians in the seas, to killing archelons in SMHs. They had got offers to join other flags, but sought to create their own, and so the flag SWAG was born, with Lmsk as monarch, Hereward and Ooliges being royalty. They were joined by as many as 7 crews and the flag reached an all time #8 high.

Lmsk, Hereward, Ooliges and Philosopher were joined by 5 amazing SO's Foxley, Samayantha, Feeshy, Jetlee and Toolame and later the addition was Gravitt. Together they made the crew #1 in the whole ocean. Lmsk and Philosoper had to quit the game. With no one to steer the crew, the crew disintegrated and except for Hereward and Ooliges, the crew activity went down. They waited weeks for the return of Lmsk but he did not come. They swore their loyalties to him (the moment he comes back they would rejoin him) and left the crew to move on. It was then Hereward joined Boothead's crew The Rebel Mercenaries along with Feeshy and made some friends there.

Hereward later joined a crew The catalyst of her friend Taytaytatty of flag Sick Man's Dream where she remained for 3 months.

The second phase of Hereward's journey began after a very short interval in Taytaytatty's crew where she met Virani, captain of the crew Vengeance of Poseidon of the flag Coherent Insanity. She volunteered to join the crew as an officer with recommendation from a friend Divinefall. She loved this crew and she met fabulous people there. She made friends with, Jbower and Cisweski-West and Dernikis along with Divinefall. The crew was at its peak with Virani kicking the bones out of barbarians and brigands each day and the crew went to an all time #3 position, however the good times don't last to be enjoyed for long; Virani had to leave. It was truly one of the most heartrending moments of her pirate career.

As timed moved on, Hereward learnt the art of blockades and coordination required for blockading with her flag in 4 cades, of which one was successful (Hadrian Cade 2012 october CI vs. knockknockk). She learned useful techniques of blockade such as roles of blockade stock coordinator (quartermaster 1) and blockade ship coordinator (quartermaster 2), blockade jobber coordinator (BJ1 and secondary blockade jobber coordinator SBJ). However the most interesting roles she played was that of a secondary commanding officer (aka XO) in 2 of the blockades. After witnessing the blockades she have decided not to Battle Navigate in a Blockade because she saw that as the toughest job!

By then her crew, as it seemed to happen a lot in her pirate career, declined slowly and came to a screeching halt. After this, she decided to carry on her skills and experience in newer crews and worked at short intervals with Thrift Shop, Syn's Delight and Dark Revenge as fleet and senior officer and met two new friends in Deluxes and Osters.

Hereward had not felt at home in any of the crews as she had felt in Hope of Meridian or Vengeance of Poseidon. But as luck would have it, she was destined to return to The Rebel Mercenaries which she had joined with Feeshy when she left Hope of Meridian. All seemed very fine and progressive under her new captain Sephara, whom she had met during her short stay at this crew previously with Feeshy. She decided that this was the crew she was looking for and joined the crew which went to it's peak at being the #1 crew in the ocean and the flag Condottiero reached #1 spot also. Now with her skills and new found enthusiasm she wishes farewinds for the crew and will give it her all to make it the best in the Meridian Ocean.
