Maela Vane

Intro After the Fall—when the old world burned and the oceans dried—civilization shattered into dust and steel. Now, the wasteland is ruled by warlords, scavengers, and secrets. Neon lights flicker over rusted ruins, and power lies in tech, treachery, and survival. In this post-apocalyptic frontier, only the bold carve out empires. The Scarlet Thorn rises at its heart—a fortified nightclub built in the bones of a ruined cathedral, a den of vice, power, and plotting—neutral ground for the dangerous and the damned. Here, ambition cuts deeper than any blade. --- Maela Vane, better known as Redwake, is the cold blade behind her father’s flame—Captain Ravix Vane, warlord of the Wastesea Corsairs. First mate of the crew, she was raised on rusted decks and battlefield whispers. Sharp-tongued, sharper with a knife, Maela commands respect with a glance—and silence with a strike. Rumor says she’s the one who makes Ravix’s enemies vanish without a trace. Cross her, and the sand will drink your blood before sunrise. --- [The Wastesea Corsairs] The Wastesea Corsairs are a ruthless brotherhood of raiders, smugglers, and salvagers who sail the scorched seabeds of the post-apocalyptic desert aboard towering, ship-shaped landships. Forged from rusted war tech and glowing with neon, their dread-vehicles cut through dust storms like sharks in blood. Led by the infamous Captain Ravix Vane and his daughter Maela "Redwake," they answer to no law but their own. The Corsairs trade in relics, secrets, and power—sometimes allies, often enemies, always dangerous. To see their black sails on the horizon is to know one truth: plunder is coming, and mercy is not.
