A Pirate's Life |OOC| ( )

Postby Thunder on Mon Jul 20, 2009 10:26 am

Yoho, yoho, a pirate's life for me

Indeed, the pirates are roaming our seas. They come with different weapons, new tactics and new meanings for their lives. They hunt down our ships and try to ruin the normal way of the human society. Most of the time they just stay out at sea. We don't know where they sail to, or what they are looking for but they are out there.

News of a new pirate attack is spreading fast. The King of England has just notified the country that his daughter has been seized by these bloody creatures and taken aboard one of their ships. The British soliders are set on figtting to regain their princess, but they can only hope that the seas treat them well.

--

This is where your story starts. Maybe you are a pirate, living the life of sword fights and whiskey, pirate songs and laughter. Maybe you're a British solider; You're out to save the princess and return her to her beloved father. Or perhaps you are the pirate captain, maybe even the kidnapped daughter yourself.

But whatever role you take in this story, may the sea be yours.

Name;
Nick Thomas
Role;
Pirate
Age;
19
Personality;
Nick is probably the crew member who never takes anything seriously. He always is looking for a good time and sometimes that will get in the way with his work. Although he does joke around a lot, Nick can take some things seriously. He is an extrordinary sword maker, and is good at building things with his hands. Swords are really his best friends, and being able to make them has also taught Nick how to use them properly. He prefers these over guns and he really has no idea how to use a gun. If Nick could have one reason for staying on the ship it would probably be for the ladies. He's always flirting with the female pirates, but most of the time he's making an ass out of himself.
Backround;
Nick was born to a maid of a mother and a pirate of a father. After Nick was born, his father took him away to grow up as a pirate and that's exactly how he did. He was taught by his father for the first twelve years of his life before his father was killed by an English sailor. After this, Nick grew up switching from pirate ship to pirate ship. He has always joined anyone that was looking to defeat the British navy because of what happened to his father.

Name; Captain Jane Ciracin (Sere-ah-sin).
Role: Pirate
Age; 27
Personality; Cin (as her crew calls her) is as blood thirsty as they come. Some call her reckless, but among her own crew she's only known as fearless. Depspite odds, she's always looking for a bigger adventure than the last and a high payoff. Her ship is called the Crimson Tide because following it is the blood of her slain. In ports she'll look for a shack-up as she lives for three things: booty, booze, and more 'booty'.
Backround; Not much is known about her past as she never speaks about it. The earliest she has ever spoke of is being drafted by the Scarlet Crusader when she was 14. When the Pirate Queen was killed she named Cin her protege and she became captain of the Crimson Tide when she was 17.

Name; Admiral Clayton Willoughby (will-uh-bee)
Role: Admiral in Her Majesty's Royal Navy
Age; 32
Personality; Very stern and serious. It is said that if the man were to ever smile his face would crack. He takes his work very seriously and personally sees to it that every pirate caught is either shot or hung with or without trial. In his heart he is just as blood thirsty as any pirate, but he finds a way to justify it in his own mind.
Backround; Drafted at 15 to the top fleet in the Royal Navy. Starting at the bottom, he showed a fearless resolve to work his way up through the ranks and did so very quickly. Named a Private at 16, a Captain at 20, a Commadore at 25, he now serves as one of the top admirals.

Name; Private Benjamin Thorton

Age; 20
Personality; Benjamin is a very obedient soldier. He believes very strongly in the faith of the good Lord and strives to be a man of moral and upright values. Her serves with diligence and heart. He is loyal, brave, and still maintains a high level of compassion.
Backround; Both of his parents died when he was a child, his mother of consumption adn his father from alcohol. He found work as a cabin boy when he was 11 seeing the ocean as a way of freedom. He fell in love with the majestic waves and has known no other life since. He now serves under Admiral Willoughby and hopes to one day be an important man in the Navy Militia.

Name; Alvilda Le Maire

Role; Pirate

Age; 22

Personality; Alvilda is extremely proud. She takes great pride in her name, and in what she does. She has a desire to succeed, and seems to never be satisfied unless she excels in anything and everything she tries. Being skilled in combat, she enjoys to flaunt it, but never takes a life, unless completely neccesary. She does however, love to plunder and search out riches of wonderous expense. She is feirce and passionate, in every sense of the terms.

Backround; Alvilda was born to pirate; Jacques Le Maire, a young pirate of 21 years. Being at sea roughly all his life, Alvilda's mother was unknown. Her father took great pleasure in Piracy, exuding great pride in what he did. Her father was of French breeding, but life at sea caused him to lose his 'twang', only some words resembling that of a French born person. Alvilda is much the same now, only some words being accented with a French intonation.

Jacques had took it upon himself to train Alvilda in the ways he loved dearly; that of the pirate. She was five the first time she saw her father wield a sword, brandished with the crest of their 'Pirate King'. Her father was skilled, teaching her the precise ways in which to handle weaponry. Soon, she grew to love combat, constantly taking on the crew members in innocent facsimile battles. Her thirst for adventure growing with the years.

One night, as an Autumn breeze blew through their ship, a pillage was decided upon, and Jacques was to attend, as was every crew member. Of course, not Alvilda, as she was ten now, and female. Awaiting her fathers return impatiently, she searched about the ship, longing to find something that would interest her for a few hours. A subtle glint caught her eye, and she approached it with care. It was the most beautiful weapon she had seen, a golden gun with embroideries and all. Without hesitation, she snatched it, eagerly waiting to show her father.

When the men arrived back, her father was not among them. At the age of thirty one, her father had been taken down by a measely peasant man, trying desperately to wean them off. From that day forward, she vowed to fight alongside her fellow crew-men, and make a name for herself. She wanted nothing more than to show that women can be pirates too, women can plunder villages and steal gold from unsuspecting victims. Ruthlessness became part of her.

Appearence;[/center] Image
Her fiery red hair is always down, flowing past her shoulders and down her back. She loves to be extravagant, often having gold belts and holsters, along with ear-rings. Rarely seen without her gun or her sword close at hand.

[(I didn't exactly know what role meant, but I think I got it right. I hope so.)]

Name;
Born as Kaitlyn Andrews : known as Sunday
Role;
Pirate
Age;
11
Personality;
Sunday's personality tends to always be changing. She always seems to be doing the opposite of what she is told to do and most of the time she is useless to the pirate crew. She is often finding things to do by annoying the others and interrogating their new victim, some English girl. Sunday speaks and acts in a very un-educated, almost animalistic manner because of how she grew up. She has already become somewhat of an alcoholic because the pirates have let her test out whiskey and rum. Being very wild and rebellious, Sunday loves adventure and will do almost anything for it. Although she doesn't normally behave, when she is near the Captain she tries to act perfect.
Backround;
Keeping a young kid on a pirate ship isn't very common, but Sunday is only allowed to stay because of the deceased Pirate Queen. Sunday has no idea how she was related to the woman, and she has no memory of her, but it has been said that Sunday was born on the ship while the relative, the Pirate Queen was the captain. Some say she was Sunday's mother, others say she was the sister, aunt or cousin. Being only one year old at the time of the woman's death, Sunday was kept on board as the woman wished and was raised by the pirate crew and their knew Captain, Cin. Although Sunday is curious about her past, she doesn't ask about it too much and spends more of her time trying to become some hardcore pirate.

Name;
Dewi [David] Jones

Rank
Leading Seaman

Role;
Soldier for His Majesty's Royal Navy
Age;
29

Personality;
Dewi is a man who doesn't understand many things in life, just gets on with it. A pragmatic member of the Red Coats, he'd use two rounds to kill an enemy rather than Quartermaster's orders of 1. Takes a more sympathetic view to young members of society who are victims of any kind of battle, it comes with being the eldest brother.

Backround;
Brought up in a large family of 8 children, Dewi was the first to be drafted into the local regiment. Struggling slightly to handle life on the farm he willingly joined in order to receive rations and pay at a fair price. He has been told two of his brothers are also under the command but so far it's just rumours and he has yet to see them face to face, other than on leave.

Alice.Larson, if you're going to make a male that is fine.

Sami you are accepted, and you also may make as many navy characters as you wish. You don't need to make character sheets for them, though.

Sure. The kidnapped daughter is going to be a main role though, so just make sure you're literate and everything. I'm not saying you aren't because I don't think I've ever roleplayed with you but yeah.

Just a note to everyone, I'd like the IC posts to be literate and around 200 words atleast per post if that's alright.

Name; Sarah Grace

Role; Kidnapped Daugheter

Age;17

Personality;As the princess she has been taught from an early age on to be kind, speak when spoken to, and all that good stuff. It doesn’t mean that she completely follows this though. Sarah is quite different from any other princess. She speaks her mind freely and can be rather harsh when she wants to be. When she isn’t in front of her father or someone important then she feels free to do what she wants, but if she’s in front of her father then she will act as she was told she was to act.

Backround;Like any other princess, from an early age on she’s been taught everything from manners to dancing, from playing piano to singing. From waking up at 7 in the morning she would eat breakfast and then go straight to her lessons. She’d take a break at 12 to snack on something and then go back to her lessons until supper time. Then after supper she would have about an hour to do what she wanted and then she was sent to bed. This was pretty much her every day. She had become quite bored of it so when the pirates kidnapped her, secretly she was relieved because this would mix everything up.
