History

Nathaniel lived in a poor part of town in a shack like house containing only 3 rooms, his, his parents, and the kitchen. He worked hard with his father repairing local ships at a ship yard becoming extremely good with his hands. In his spare and down time (usually during late nights) he worked on fighting and training with daggers dreaming of one day adventuring around the world and seeing different places.

But then trouble struck a group of pirates attacked his town in middle of the night a terrible battle erupted between marines and pirates. Buildings burned and many died. On that night Nathaniel was out for a walk when the first cannon shots rang out. Thinking it was just a drill he walked on against the cold November wind. Unaware of the danger his father went out searching for him. Nathaniel walked down the road towards the shipyard where the pirates were flooding in from. Soon shouts and screams could be heard and he hurried his pace to see what the cause of commotion was. Upon reaching the docks he could see ships ablaze and blood turning the water red. The sight made him sick and he turned away in horror. When he looked out again he could see row boats approaching the shore. Mesmerized by the sight his body froze on the ship waved a flag of a skull and bones the typical pirate flag.
He stood for a long moment adsorbing the knowledge finally he turned to run. Like a bat out of hell he ran along the street back to the safety of his home all the way thinking " Let my parents be safe." When Nathaniel learned his father had gone out to find him he panicked and ran into his parents room taking the daggers that hung on the wall to the left of the bed before fleeing back out into the night. The town was engulfed in flame and the roar of cannons were loud enough to muffle out the screams of the dying and fighting.

Nathaniel went back to the shipyard on the search for his dad finding the area littered with bodies pirates and marines alike. He searched the faces recognizing some of the people from his town. "no time for tears" he half whispered as he moved on still in the search for his father. He came upon the light house seeing a small group marines defending it from any attacks he approached the men. "HALT" the man in front orders with a grey long beard and matching hair his arms thick from training. Who are you?" the question stumbled Nathaniel for some reason. He stumbled for his words "i-im a villager "im looking for my father". The man drop his guard and approached pointing to the light house any survivors are being gathered and moved inside here if hes alive hes here. Nathaniel hurried inside eager to find his father. Upon searching the building he found no sign of him. Before he could head out a loud echo sound came from a far before he could catch what was happening a loud explosion impacted the wall of the light house the walls groaned with the force as they tumbled inward towards the refugees. Nathaniel screamed but was pushed out the way by the approaching rumble as he tumbled to the ground he cast his eyes back toward his savior. His father with a quick smile before he was buried with rubble. Nathaniel quickly got to his feet and ran over ripping at the rubble with all his might. But he was dragged away by marines yelling it was to late to save him. Nathaniel blacked out on his way out from the shock of losing his father. The next day after he awoken in a hospital he retrieved his daggers from a passing nurse and quickly left the hospital not thinking straight he climbed aboard a local ship and stowed away leaving the only place he ever knew for adventures on the cruel sea..

So begins...

Serna looked around before her eyes fell on Nathaniel. She got her bottle of rum, took a sip and walked towards him in just the way her father used to walk. ''Who might you be?'' she asked him, looking at him with narrowed eyes. She was a bit suspicious because anyone of the Marine could dress them selves as a pirate and come aboard. She only wanted pirates and no one else.

Serna took another sip from the bottle. ''No I'm not. I'm Captain Serna Jack Sparrow. Daughter of Jack Sparrow.'' She looked at him and took a sip from the bottle of rum again. She was in many ways just like her father. Always drunk, doing stupid things but always,being alright in the end. A real pirate.
