Simple ref of Orcarida OffTide 2024

My Dungeon and Dragons character Orcarrida Off-Tide the Mer-Orc (Mork) Merfolk/Orc Hybrid - Fighter (Brute) 
Below is a few things about her.

- Her half-orc/half-mer heritage has given her a 'winning smile' with slightly shorter tusks but very sharp pointed teeth all round.
- She has vestigial fins on her elbows and slightly webbed ears, as well as gills on the neck.
- Eats pretty much anything that is dead and meat.
- Gets easily cart-sick, and is consequently standoff-ish around horses - the feeling is mutual.
- She likes to sing shanties, and tell bad sea puns.
- Wasting food is considered a sin to her, you do not waste food! 

- First Ship 'The Cranky Orca'

- Is a Chef and is very proud of her cooking- She prefers to be on the sea then on land- Weapons are an Anchor and some Javelin's/harpoons 

- Has a Lucky mechanical crab (moves when unobserved) She has no idea that it can do that, it's just a cool trinket she found one day (Honestly got really randomly lucky with the dice roll, which resulted in her getting this crab.) 

-  Bisque (Unseen creature/shark, only visible briefly when interacting with something/someone.) Orcarrida Off-Tide has unintentionally made an alliance with a mysterious entity, that so happens to know how to cook and gave her some recipe's and a shark creature that is slowly growing bigger and stronger, but at the moment is unseen unless interacts with something/someone. (In my defence Orcarrida thought she was dreaming at the time, as suddenly finding yourself in a cottage like setting with a motherly human woman with tasty food? she must be dreaming and thus has no problems with what the woman was asking of her) Well if your going to be manipulated by strange entities that just using you and your teammates in some big 'game' of theirs isn't it better to work with one that has similar interests as you? she now knows how to make food that can heal or increase AC briefly isn't that great! 
 


Claims to have once taken down a kraken on her first ship at the cost of the ship - she now wields its anchor in its honour. Actually she was hired as a bodyguard for a small band of smugglers. They ran aground when the small smuggling vessel they were using failed to navigate a particularly complicated smuggling route (known for its shifting sandbars). The ship was taken apart and burned to make a smoke signal, as well as rudimentary shelter for the surviving crew. While the crew began to panic and turn on each other, she went out to hunt fish, when she returned she found that the crew was dead, having murdered each other in a heated slightly drunken argument. Realising that she will not get paid, she took the anchor, and the smugglers goods and began walking/swimming through the ocean to deliver them, in the hopes that she could still get paid. While she made it back to town through her skillful navigation, unfortunately the smuggled goods were ruined from water damage. From that point on, she decided to stick to more respectable crews - with a more reliable source of income.
"I found this little crab trinket inside a WHALE! I call it my lucky crab. As soon as I found this little guy I found a way out of that whale!"
