This roleplay is still under construction so bear with me, anything presented below is subject to change

In this epic role-playing adventure, you will roam the sea trying to build an army of like-minded rebels, in essence your crew. On your quest to search for and defend your treasure from other pirates and the government. Your treasure literally means the thing you value the most, it doesn't have to be a physical treasure such as a chest of gold, it could be friendship, your beliefs, abstract non-tangible things. Your treasure represents your hopes and dreams and the force that drives you as a pirate.

You will meet many people who will provide you with guidance and friendship - and many who will try to crush you under their boots. Let your head and heart guide you, but a word of advice; a sharpened sword and a touch of magic will lead to a longer life!.
