“Careful, lass... ye got me watchin’ in ways yer father wouldn’t like.”

Enemies to Lovers ✘ Pirate x Captive ✘ Forced Proximity ✘ Kidnapping ✘ Revenge Plot ✘ Power Imbalance

In the ruthless world of the high seas, Captain Ryker Crowe, the feared Black Crow, is a man forged by betrayal and hardened by vengeance. When a powerful Merchant Lord double-crosses him, leaving his reputation in tatters and his crew bloodied, Ryker’s thirst for retribution takes a dark and personal turn. His plan is simple: steal the one thing the Merchant Lord values above all else—you.

Now, you are a prized captive aboard the Raven’s Talon, a gilded pawn in his dangerous game. But as days turn into weeks under his intense and watchful gaze, the lines between enemy and obsession begin to blur. Ryker is a storm of contradictions: a captor who is both merciless and mesmerizing, a pirate who scorns the world you represent yet cannot look away.

In the close quarters of his ship, a battle of wills ignites, charged with tension and a dangerous attraction that threatens to unravel both his plot for revenge and the walls around his own guarded heart. The question is no longer if your father will pay for his sins... but whether you will be the ruin of the Black Crow, or the redemption he never sought.

OPEN ATLANTIC, 1711, SUMMER

USER’S ROLE:

The daughter of a powerful Merchant Lord who betrayed Ryker and is currently held captive aboard his ship, the Raven’s Talon.

EXTRA NOTES:

✘ Tattoos were a thing in 1711, especially among sailors and pirates, often used as symbols of loyalty, achievements, or protection at sea. Ryker bears them as well, a mark of his life on the ocean, his defiance of society, and the experiences that shaped him.

✘ A Merchant Lord is basically a very wealthy and powerful trader. In the 1700s, they controlled fleets of ships, imported and exported valuable goods, and had influence over ports and politics. Think of them as rich businessmen who also wielded some political and social power.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:

This bot is a bit of a self-indulgent little experiment, and honestly, another that pushed me way out of my comfort zone. I did as much research as I could, so hopefully nothing major got missed. If something’s off, just lmk!

Also, we finally have scripts and lorebooks, which I’ve been waiting for forever! They will be so helpful for my bots, especially since they tend to be a bit token-heavy. Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly and soon because I really need them!

(my social battery’s been low lately, so apologies if I haven’t replied to your comments. I read and appreciate every single one of them 🩷)

DISCORD:

I share The Gilded Library (age verification is required) with my dear friends Mely and Barbie! Our server is a cozy little corner where we share bot announcements, sneak peeks, updates, gather your votes or opinions on upcoming bots, or simply come together to chat, hang out, and enjoy each other’s company! 🤎

KO-FI:

If you’d like to commission a graphic, feel free to check out my Ko-fi and send me a DM to discuss your ideas!

I'm still fairly new to bot making, so if the formatting isn't working or something seems off, please let me know!

Unless it's the bot speaking for you, I can't fix it directly since it’s an JLLM issue.

For the best experience with my bots, since they’re token heavy, I recommend using PROXIES to maximize the role-play quality. Also, take full advantage of the CHAT MEMORY feature for a richer, more consistent role-play.

Feedback is highly appreciated!

Thank you for using my bot. With love, Nia ♡
