A Pirate's Life [OOC+Signup] ( )

Postby Tyler on Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:58 pm

Yoho, yoho, a pirate's life for me

Indeed, the pirates are still 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 prime minister of England's daughter has been seized by these bloody creatures and taken aboard one of their ships. We shall fight and may the sea soon be ours.

--

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: Nicholas Evans
Role: Captain
Age: 35
Personality: Nick is a trickster who uses wit and deceit to attain his goals, being a lesser swordsman compared to the others. He walks with a slightly drunken swagger and has slurred speech and flailing hand gestures. Considering he isn't the best sword fighter, he usually prefers the strategies of non-violent negotiations and turning his enemies against each other. Nick has no record of murder or rape on his record only because he forces the other pirates to do his dirty work. His desire for alcohol is almost always present and so Nick rarely is sober. Because of this his choices seem insane to some but he really knows what he is doing. Behind the large ego, the captain does realize that he is putting up many of his own men's lives on the stake but he doesn't mind it.

Can I be the daughter?

Name: Melody
Role: Prime Minister's Daughter
Age: 17
Personality: It depends on what is going on. When she was captured she off course like any other person, tryed getting away, but failed. When she is angry it shows. When she is sad she always tries to hide it and act happy. She tries to not show fear and act tough. Get on her nerves and she will snap in a second. She loves her family and wants to get back home to them. She knows that her parents will come through for her and find some way to get her back. Even though they were hardly ever around her because of all the work they have to do, she knows that they will. Growing up she was always protected by guards and such and never aloud to do anything. Though as she got older she found ways to sneak away and have some fun, which is how she got captured. She had run off and the pirates caught her. She is smart and will think of some way to try and escape.

Name
Keira White
Role
Pirate
Age
21
Personality
Keira is a strong minded, determined young women. She was born into the lifestyle of piracy. Both of her parents were pirates and sadly were killed in a gun fight when she was eight years old. The crew kept watch of her and taught her the skills she didn't already know. By the age of twelve she was a master at sword fighting and she was working guns the next year. Over the years she has learned that while living with pirates, you can never play fair. You always have to work for yourself, fight for yourself and fend for yourself because eventually everyone will turn on you. Though she does do what she wants, Keira is often yelling at people for stealing from the weaker or younger. She is pretty motherly and protective, but only because she grew up with people who were like that to her.
Appearence
Keira's hair is a light brown color, matching to the same hue of her eyes. She stands at six foot, and is towering over some of the others, mostly the women. Her body is fairly thin because of the lack of food and because being a pirate is usually very physical, she is very strong. Keira's skin is a tanned white tone because of the fact that they are always roaming the warm seas. Over this skin she is normally wearing a skimpy black tanktop and torn up, denim shorts. On her feet she wears a pair of long, leather black boots and on her hip is always a sword and gun.

Sorry Heartless. The daughter is one of the main characters and I'm going to need more of a detailed, well-written profile for her spot.

Lauren, you're accepted.

Name: Jacki (( Bloody Jack ))
Role: Irish Pirate
Age: 19
Personality: Jack is a seaman at heart. She loves to sail the seas and raid other ships for anything they've got, especially their flags. Being a master of disguise, she often uses raided ships' flags and rings the distress bell, but as soon as a ship trying to help her is in firing range she gives the order to attack. She is wanted almost everywhere for murder, kiddnapp, raiding, and almost any crime imaginable. She has been a pirate since she was ten, for that's when she was kiddnapped. Instead of paying for her freedom, she decided to join the life at sea, doing whatever she felt like-when she felt like doing it. Jack murdered in total 174 people since she started counting, giving her the title: Bloody Jack. Nobody talks dow to her anymore, for she would kill them for the mistake. A tomboy at heart, she sails the seas with a short temper and merciless personality.

Name: Born as Kaitlin Andrews, now known as Sunday
Role: Pirate
Age: 11
Personality: Sunday's personality tends to always be changing. She always seems to be the opposite of what she should be doing and most of the time she is useless to the pirate crew. Sunday is only allowed to stay on board because her father had saved the captain's life ten years ago in a bloody sword fight. He now feels as though he owes it to the daughter who was left to grow up on board. She was given the name Sunday by the crew because the day her father had passed away was a day where the sun was out for the longest they had seen, hence sun day.
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 her lifestyle. She has already become some what of an alcoholic because the others have let her try whiskey and rum, two drinks which she enjoys but she is often yelled at because of it by the captain or one of the female pirates who normally have a less drunken head on their shoulders. If there is anyone that Sunday loves to annoy the most it would be Bloody Jack, only because she is usually yelling out threats and sometimes actually hurting her but Sunday loves it for the adventure.

Name: Thomas "The Knife"
Role: Sail Repairman
Age: 52
Personality: Repairs at sea were one of the most troubling problems that many pirates faced, A nearly seamless peace of fabric is almost half as valuable with even one tear in it. Thomas "The Knife" is a craftsman and an artist. The sail of each ship he works on is his child. He is the only one allowed to touch the sail, his orders, reinforced by the captain.

At his old age Thomas is lucky to be alive, and he gained a nickname purely by being alive so long, he was always known to have his knife close by. If attacked, he was the first one to pull out his knife. To him, this nickname is a lot, Especially considering that most pirates carry around knives. But Thomas carries his knife as his only weapon.

Thomas is a religiously superstitious man, and the presence of women on the boat hes been on dis concerns him a little. They've been on the boat for a while and nothing has happened but Thomas is sure that it is bound to happen and every problem seems to be "The womenfolks fault."

On the other side of the argument, Thomas is getting noticeably slower at his job, his old age is finally catching up to him and pieces of sail go unnoticed for a time or even totally un-patched. So Thomas is looking for a deft set of fingers to go up into the rafters and has been pressuring the girl Sunday to take under an apprenticeship with him.

Apperance: (I will have to finish this post later and add a picture and description later)

*I'm just applying to see if there might be some chance I can get this spot, but if not, I'll gladly play a less major part.*

Name: Samantha
Role: Prime Minister's Daughter
Age: 19
Personality: Trying to pin Sam down with a couple of words would be attempting the impossible. She can be as fiery as her hair one minute, and then the next as calm as you please. Unpredictable, one could say. For the most part, however, she keeps a very bold and sassy front, saying what she thinks whether the victim likes it or not. This only further flusters the poor individuals that she unleashes her complicated and befuddling presence on. She likes to think of herself as fearless, never backing down from a challenge, reckless or not. (Though it usually is the former.) Sam is a proud girl, and is very slow to admit she is wrong or show weakness. She's rather good at that, actually, hiding weaknesses. To most she really does seem like this fearless, wild, tornado of a girl. However, there is one thing that truly strikes cold, raw fear into her heart. The ocean.
Appearence: Probably the first thing that people take into account of Sam's appearance is her hair. Layered all around and more orange than red in color, her hair is definitely the most note worthy of her features. Not following the red hair-green eyes trend, her eyes are dark, sapphire blue. Sam's face is made up of slightly angular features, with a pointed chin and a sloping nose. She does not have an exactly curvy body, but not boyish either. Sort of somewhere in between, with a defined enough bust but straight hips. Her complexion is sprinkled with faint freckles, and is the kind that sunburns easily. Very easily.

Imogen_22, I feel like your character fits the role a bit better so you've got the spot. Heartless, I'm really sorry. You can take a different role if you fancy.

Name: Aiden Illup

Role: First Mate

Age: 21

Personality:
Aiden is a rather detestable young man full of witt, womanizing instincts, and a love for the sea. Ever since he was a little boy , he'd wander off and wreak havoc upon the other children along the shore. Using his growing ever intelligence, he would pull the most extravagant pranks known to his town and by the time he was ten, he was known as the "troublesome kid". He still has his habit of joking, playing and , quite frankly, acting like a child- an annoying child at that. In combat he is agile and, as opposed to using brute strength, he darts around uses strategic battle plans until and opening to strike occurs. When he's not being an obnoxious snot or fighting, he's flattering all the ladies he can, though he does know when it's appropriate and when it's not.

Appearence:
Aiden is a tall, lanky mulatto man with shining blue eyes. His facial features are sculpted and almost woman-like and his dread-locked hair is puled back into a ponytail. Stubble coats his chin and upper lip and bags sag his eyes. His attire consists of the typical loose shirt, belt buckle with a sheath attached, long pants, and boots as well as a stolen , embroidered vest.He wears a colorful bandanna above his brow to keep the sweat from dripping into his eyes. Almost always, he has a grin plastered on his face, showing his teeth.
