Ferethor hates Hedge's character for a captain's pet, he hates Aman's character because Ferethor tried to kill him once (a scar at the wrist to remind him), and eventually got only his lieutenant beaten to death and him alive (he feels REALLY bad about this, as he was the one who thought it up and talked Lieutenant Linvail into it, the only person he knew on the ship), Spawn's character because he was the one who took Linvail's place at the oars (This is unrealistic, but perfectly admissible, as he keeps reminding Ferethor of Linvail), he hates the row-soldier as he put it because he was the one who whipped him to shreds on his first post, etc.

I'm sorry, could you just clarify this: you wish my character to have tried to kill yours, or vice versa? 'Cos believe me, if Rakin had tried, you'd have a helluva lot more to remind you than a wee scar on your wrist. Also, I don't quite understand the part about the Lieutenant? However, by all means hate Rakin - you're perfectly justified, having had a life of slavery and all that jazz; besides, everyone else seems to.
Spawn - sure, that's fine. Hiriel and Anguiriel have written their posts with the ship in motion, I believe, so that'll fit in just fine.
Fordim - is your character going to come onto Fame and Fortune at the beginning of the game, or would you prefer him to already be on? I mean, why not start off the game for the corsairs for a nice wee coastal village raid and take a few prisoners? Failing that, to stick with your idea of him having been a 'high-ranking' slave in a previous posting (for lack of a better word), we could meet with another ship and take him on board? Just one thing though: if he had been caught trying to stir up rebellion amongst other slaves on another ship, my guess is that he would have long since relinquished his hold on this life, and certainly wouldn't be passed on to plague another ship and another captain - unless we're getting into confused and complex-imicated ideas of wider ranging plots against Rakin, destroying his ship and ruining his reputation in the process. Which, y'know, pardon me if I'm becoming paranoid, but bearing in mind the current disposition towards Rakin...
However, I think this would be a little unlikely bearing in mind that Azaryan and Sangalazin are travelling on the ship - it is unlikely in the extreme that another corsair captain would put the Lords of Umbar in danger like that. So maybe if you were to think up another 'crime' that has had your character so unceremoniously shunted from his priveleged position on another ship onto mine? Be as creative as you like - Rakin doesn't have to know at the beginning - but inciting slave rebellion would probably have led only to death. Maybe he was otherwise involved with an unruly gang of slaves, but as he is otherwise a 'good slave' and held the position of slave commander on his previous ship, he was not punished by death and so has simply been moved, so as to be away from the negative influence of his fellows. Doncha know.
I don't know, whatever works for you, just an idea.
