Sailors

Sailors are a breed of people who regularly work on ships. They carry out the duties of maintaining the ship, protecting the cargo and/or passengers, and basically making sure the ship gets from A to B. Most will have a number of skills, such as navigating at sea, minor woodwork, basic fighting skills, swimming (though not always), knot tying, and maintaining sails if any are present. Not all nations or races have sailors, though some have a mix of merchant sailors, and a rough early form of military sailor, though most are a mix, when pressed ganged into this. Most sailors will belong to a specific ship or crew under a specific captain, and will sigh up regularly for trips at sea that can last weeks to years depending on where the ship is from and where it is heading to. Most have a basic wage, and can be given bonuses depending on the nature of a venture (be it delivering valuable and/or fragile goods for example). Most do not care what the job is, as they view that side of the business the job of the captain's. Even if they are not on their usual ship or with their regular crew, most sailors will have contacts, associates, and friends on other ships that can always hire them. Though saying that, they still prefer to work closely with others they most trust.
