Name: Will Scarlett
Age: Mid-Late 20's
Nationality: English

Brief Description (background):
Stowed away on a voyage to Port Royale from the Old World when almost 19. Was a crewman aboard a merchant ship, before a storm sank the ship just off the coast of Tortuga, where he learnt to speak French - not fluently, but enough to get by. Had gained plenty of sailing knowledge aboard other merchant ships before arriving on Cutlass Isle.
Is a great strategist. Would rather have a well planned attack with 15 men than a frontal assault with 250 men.

Skills:
Sailing
Language - can speak English and French
Planning
Fencing - would rather not have to, but once required there is hardly any better with a sword

Name: Captain Jack Black
Age: 38
Nationality: None

Description:
To say that Black was tall would be entirely accurate, but to see him, you'd never know. He hasn't stood up straight in years and it shows. His body reacting to the phyiscal strains and mental stresses has crumpled in on itself and humbled him. He sits with his shoulders slumped and his body rests in the corner of the seat and its back. When he does stand his shoulders don't change and his knees stay slightly bent. He can't seem to make up his mind on whether he wants to grow out a beard or stay clean shaven, so there is always stumble and the odd forgotten whisker. He only has one eye, the other having been replaced with an old, chipped, black marble. It catches the light sometimes and gives him a fiercely, animalistic glare. Like there's still a little fire down deep hidden inside him. He has long since forgotten about being heroic, or gallant, only getting through the rest of his life. He has killed men, alot of them. Some in cold-blood, stealing watches and wallets from them afterwards. Others were killed in duels, or battles, with rapier and cutlass. He hasn't seen a real battle in some years. Most people that meet him would be shocked to their cores to hear that he once was a Captain in Her Majesty's Royal Navy. To hear that his saved many innocents from fates worse than death. He would be surprised himself, if it weren't true. So far he had fallen from his once former grace. He wore clothes that stank of sweat and whiskey. They were ragged and thread-bare in places and had not been rightly washed in years. He carried a small satchel with him at all times, but he had never opened it nor took from it. A cutlass was strapped to his back, evil and wicked looking, serrated with a hilt of bone. There was a skull carved into the bone at the pommel and two small rubies in-place of eyes. He also had pistols, almost in every place one would stay, far too many to count. His boots gleamed black and looked in good condition, worn but still serviceable. He never talked to anyone, not anyone in public, and he never stayed in one place for too long. That was good in a way, since most places posted wanted signs shortly after his departure. He mainly stayed near the more seedy places, brothels, pirate coves and the lot. He was dangerous, with out doubt, but he was also much older than he seemed.

Skills (Of Noteworthy)
* Cheating (Cards/Dice)
* Butchering the unexpected/weak
* Commanding a ship crew (British Navy/Pirate)
* Large scale oceanic battle planning (Ship knowledge/Navigation)

Might do a bio for Nanahouma Maya while I'm at it.

Nanahouma Maya
Born, Edo, Japan
known Reletives, Nanahouma Sai
Age, 17
skills, Swordsmanship, bosts she can defeat Yagyuu Jubei in a even duel, however this is most likly an exaduration. Dispite this fact, she is good... but perhaps her only true skill...
Sword,, Apparently, she has a named blade, designed by the famous swordsmith Masaumane (Not sure of spelling)

Born in Japan during a time of Chaos, her brother left her side to become a pirate, leaving her undefended and fair prey for the many bandits that roamed the countryside. Adopted by the noble house of Yagyuu (not sure if thats spelt right) she learned the fundermentals of Japanese Swordsmanship. On her sixtenth birthdday, she left on a quest to find her brother. Arriving at Manilla, she discovered her brother was captured by the Spanish, and transported to Panama. She boarded a treasure galleon to Panama, and begain too hunt him down. On arriving in Panama, she found out that her brother had escaped. On arriving in Porto Bello, she discovered that her brother had died. From that moment on, she decided to gain vengence on his captian, a certian di Rossi. She eventually ended up in San Juan, where a shady pirate pointed her in the direction of Cutlass Island, where she hoped to get revenge for her brother.

Captain Cutiepie Jones
Age: 26
Place of Birth: Exeter, England
Known family: Father, Mother, Brother (Delightful Jones) (All dead by suicide)

Brief Description: Cutiepie Jones is a colorful speaker with an uncanny ability of saying the right things at the wrong time, and the wrong things at the right thing. Seems to follow trouble, or trouble follows him. Cutiepie usually finds himself in awe of great pirate legends. He would do the most dangerous mission just to meet one of his pirate "Idols".

Cutiepie finished second to last in his class at the Exeter Sailing Academy. Last in class went to his deceased brother for poor attendance. Cutiepie is barely a decent seaman, usually getting by on his weird charm. He is not a very good fighter, but somehow seems to get in one good shot that wins the fight. Cutiepie is not ruthless, but is usually to busy to notice cruel things around him. While talking to his idol, he may give an order to kill a crew without realizing it.

Cutiepie is the all the rage with the ladies, but he seems too interested in god-knows-what to notice. When he wants to, he falls in love with every lady he meets. Cutiepie Cutiepie enjoys fish and chips and is a sucker for epaulettes, especially gold ones.

Skills: None intended
Weakness: Gold Epaulettes, Frigates with Red Sails
Future plans: Wants to own a chain of Sugar Cane Juice stores and a factory that makes red sails for frigates.

Name: Garrett Martinez Santos
Nationality: Spanish
Age: 31
Birthplace: Barcelona, Spain

History: Garrett is the son of a Irish woman that fell in-love with a wealthy Spanish landowner. At a young age, Garrett's parents were murdered at the hands of a corrupt Brittish merchant. It was at this point that his life at sea began. He started out on his uncle's 20-gun privateer, the Polycrest. While at sea, he attention to detail, high intelligence and uncle's knowledge quickly help his rise to the Captain's firstmate. At the age of 22, he was thrust into ship's captain after his uncle was killed pursuing a French pirate on the Bellone.

Shortly after becoming captain of the Polycrest, Garrett learned that his parent's murderer was setting up trade in the New World. With the prospect of avenging murders of his parents and a chance to start over, Garrett and a dedicated crew sailed to the New World. Garrett immediately became an successful English privateer hitting French shipping. During this time, he set worked to hunt down his parent's murderer, finally find him in a drunken stuper in Barbados. Without a blink of an eye, Garrett promptly put a pistol shot in the man's face.

His mission finished, Garrett sold the Polycrest and divided the nice plunder between the crew. Several of the crew went on to serve on other ships, though some of the more dedicated crewmen stayed with their captain. He promptly purchased a new 20-gun corvette and named it the Lobo Del Mar. He holds a with letters of Marquis, he hits French and Dutch merchants while carrying out the occassional missions for the Governer of San Juan.

Profile: Garrett tactfully examines every situation to determine the outcomes. His somewhat stoic personality and brashness give the impression that Garrett is a cold-hearted, expressionless, curmugeon. This is actually far from true - Garrett is actually a compassionate and caring person that tries to see the good in mankind. His high virtues and values he deems important make him a strong leader that takes good care of his crew and prisoners. Despite his compassionate side however, he will strike without second thought if something gets in the way of his objective. But when given the choice between killing or preserving the lives of his captives, he will do everything possible to preserve those lives.

Edit::: Despite Garrett's high intelligence, spelling and grammar usage was never a strong point. Laughing

Captain Bannister "Black Jack" Kelly
Age: 21
Nationality: Irish
Place of birth: Galway, Ireland

Short description:
Very taciturn and evil pirate. Will associate only with pirates when he is very drunk. Will not associate with anyone else regardless of drink. Shows extreme bravery in combat and swings a heavy broadsword in combat. If he stayed in the Royal Navy, perhaps would have a very distinguished career. He will attack any ship or port at any time and completely destroy everything in his path. Does not fall in love - he takes or pays for what he wants. Will kill a baby if the baby has any gold.
NOT SOMEONE A LADY WOULD TAKE HOME TO MOM - as he would probably brutalize her in many horrible ways.

Strengths: Swords, plundering, destruction
Weakness: Very aggressive - it will lead to guaranteed death.
Future plans: Wants to die during sex or battle

Island Jack
30 yrs. old
Polish

Jack's an average looking guy, in fact, so average that even if you do notice him you're unlikely to remember him. Perhaps, of course, until it's too late. It's strange enough to see a pirate lurking about with a hound at his side instead of a parrot on his shoulder or a monkey, but that could just quite mean that he's the Polak you heard about. A minor Polish nobleman with an inexplicable taste for the sea who, bored and frustrated with trying to get anything accomplished within the Polish government, wandered to France in search of temporary female companionship while waiting to book passage to the Caribbean. France was closer than England, he thought. Of course, once under sail his ship was taken by pirates and since none of the pirates could understand what he was saying, he was marooned, earning the name "Island" Jack when picked up by a passing Dutch ship smuggling gin. The small matter of a mutiny later, a certain English governor found himself with a large supply of gin, but suddenly minus one of his prized hounds and a Royal Sloop from his personal escort.

It wasn't long before some of the Salty Dogs along the Spanish Main found themselves part of some wild and successful scheme and infighting over who was taking credit for it. After the smoke settles, there always seems to be someone left alive who seems to remember a man with a dog.

PostPosted: Tue Jun 14, 2005 4:49 am    Post subject: Sir Frederick Kingston Reply with quote

Name: Please see above, fool.
Age: 36
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 139 lbs.

Sir Frederick is, at first glance, an unprepossesing little man in a well-worn Royal Navy coat and a hat that he ought to be ashamed of. Once studied more closely, though, one notices his gnarled hands, disconcertingly agile and demonstrative, mild yet twinkling eyes, and aspect of infectious good humor. A former Captain of His Britannic Majesty's Frigate Indefatigable, as he will be sure to tell any who ask, he seems to pass most of his hours with a glass of spirits and a bawdy joke or two.

A flash of high seriousness can be seen, however, when the conversation turns to war at sea. There is no mistaking the keen fascination, the near-bottomless appetite for...what?

A fight? A ship? Prize money? Or merely respite from the toils of life ashore?

- Let us begin again!!!
-
Name: Kain
Age: unknown (looks like mid twenties)
Nationality: unknown

- Tall, grey-haired man with absolutely no sun-tan. Nobody actually knows where he comes from. Oldest sailors claim to have seen him somewhere. Simply old ones tell fantastic stories of a brutal, evil pirate captain who sailed the seas long before their fathers did, and who looks just exactly like the him. Once an old pirate David Buchard saw him in a smuggler's cove in Tortuga, went totally pale and told the lads that he had actually seen that guy being shot with a cannon during the times David had been a cabin boy. He claimed the enigmatic grey man to get up after the impact, and slaughter everyone. There are some similar traits in pictures, tales and legends. But even that's rare, cause most of the people knowing him in person are dead, lucky, or real swashbucklers, whom he does have respect for. Been in the crews of a lot of famous pirates.
- To his crew he's allways been known as a short-tempered, evil daredevil, who led them to fight desperate fights and won them. Average swordfighter but a great sniper. Has a cloak to hold 10 flintlock pistols. Unbelievably fast reaction. Claimed to have shot enemy bullets in their flight.
- Current known facts that most legends confirm:
- Drinks blood.
- Probably immortal.
- It's he who sank "H.M.S. Lion" and "H.M.S. Victoria".
- Plundered Port Royale.
- Devastated Santa Rosa in search for his imprisoned crewmember. Never heard of Santa Rosa? That's it...
Twisted Evil
- Got ourselves a mistery.

This area looks deserted,which is just plain pitifull.
All these profiles here and there isn't a single active RP around.
We really need to get this back up,everyone wants to,but no one
really knows where to start.
It also looks as if the main plot referred in the sticky is dead too,which
is the strangest part.
The others could be dead and the main plot alive,but not even that.
I can't do it right now,because I have to do some things,and I'm in a hurry right now.
But when I'm finished I'll be posting a profile here too,just in case.
Even if there's the chance it won't prove to be of much use here.

-There's being made an attempt to pick the main plot back up by about 5 people right now,so perhaps we should try and get as many people as we can in it.I'm waiting for the right time to hop in myself right now.
Maybe we can finally get some player on player fighting this time
Duelling

Ok,here's me profile:

Name:"Grey"
Age:21
Nationality:Portugal
Description:Tall,dark-haired male,healthy both in mind and body,trained as a Naval Surgeon with the Navy.Wears brown pants,tan boots,and a black sleeveshirt,with a blue longcoat on top.
Also has a flat tricorne to shadow his face from the sun.
Carries a refined Cutlass,extremely well suited for parrying and blocking,though somewhat unwieldy for thrusting.
His general combat style relies on martial arts learned from voyages to Japan.Aditionally takes a Musketoon with him to finish fights quickly.
Owns only a small pinnace.
Skills:
-Field Medicine
-Unarmed Fighting
-Sharp eye(Handy with rifles)

Riddari
Powder Monkey

PostPosted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 10:03 pm    Post subject: Reply with quote

Riddari’s Character:

Name: Riddari Contumacious
Age: 19
Nationality: Dutch
Description: The only thing remarkable about Riddari is there really isn’t anything remarkable about him. He is of a very average size. He is not especially attractive, but is not unattractive either. His skills fair similarly. He is just decent enough with a sword to hold his own and just competent enough as a deckhand to be an asset to any crew. If there is one area Riddari falls short in, it is confidence. Whether heading into battle or conversing with the ladies, there is always a hint of nervousness present.

Back story: Riddari is the son of a tavern owner and practically grew up in the tavern. He never understood why his father allowed the pirates to take such advantage of him. Instead of hating the pirates for how they treated his family, he considered his father a weak man for putting up with it. Obviously, he had plenty of opportunities to interact with Pirates and the ladies they tend to attract. At first, the pirates would treat Riddari as they did the rest of his family, as a source of amusement. However, as he grew up, he eventually earned the respect of many of the regulars. When he was 16 years old, he confronted his father about his weakness. His father insisted that he put up with the pirates in order to support his family, but Riddari could not believe this rationalization. Soon, he decided to leave his family behind and joined a pirate crew. Upon joining, he dropped the surname he was so ashamed of, and took the name of Contumacious, which one of his pirate friends had told him meant “contemptuous”. For the last three years, Riddari has sailed with various crews developing his skills, but not gaining any personal recognition.

(I have a bit of experience roleplaying, but not as a pirate. So, if someone wants to pick up a less than heroic crew member, feel free to incorporate me into a story and send me a PM as it is quite possible that I could miss a post or two here.)
