On High Seas: A Game of Pirates, Captives, Sailing, Adventure, Battle, & Booty!!

[Urbanzorro]

Ok, so I'm looking to start up a game centered around a pirate ship, it's crew, their captives, and their misadventures/raids/sexy times/etc. That they experience. Ideally this game will be full of action, fighting, drinking, and sex (both consensual and non-consensual).

Should enough interest be shown I'd be open to having more than one pirate ship/crew take place in the story but I'll probably need the help of a co-gm (taking on the role of the captain of the other vessel) if that happens. That having been said I'm looking to capture a mix of realism, popular conception, and some (small) amounts of fantasy with this setting. Basically think along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean being rated more along the lines of R/X/NC-17 with slightly lest fantastical elements. If this idea interests you I invite you to say so. In order to get started I'll probably need the following as far as players. Also, I'll be allowing female pirates and we can assume that while not as common as male ones, they are still not exceedingly rare in our setting.

Captain(Urbanzorro) as Maximilian Mondego:The man/woman in charge of the crew.

1st Mate(Open): The second in command of the crew. Has command of the ship when the Captain is not aboard, and is normally charged with leading other members of the crew. This one needs to be filled

Master At Arms1SAZ as Aidan Blackwood:The crew-member in charge of instilling discipline and order aboard ship. I'll need someone to fill this role as well.

Quarter Master(Open): The crewman/woman charged with steering the ship during most situations.

Boatswain(Open): The deck chief charged with making sure all the deck hands do their jobs correctly.

Assorted Crew Member/Officersmai as "Lia" Li Yan: Doctors, gunners, etc.

Assorted Crew Member/Officers(Open): Doctors, gunners, etc.

Captive of the CrewArielle as Evaline "Eva" Collins: Someone taken by the crew during a raid or about to be taken during the game's opening. We'll need at least one of these but hopefully more.

Captive of the Crew(Open): Someone taken by the crew during a raid or about to be taken during the game's opening. We'll need at least one of these but hopefully more.

Captive of the Crew(Open): Someone taken by the crew during a raid or about to be taken during the game's opening. We'll need at least one of these but hopefully more.

It should be noted that the above list does not represent the limit for how many people can play, but is just a list of the different possible roles. For instance while we can only have one Captain, 1st Mate, etc. We can always have more than three captives or more than two assorted crew members/officers. And here is our character sheet.

Here's Some Info on the World Our Characters Will Live in.

The World

Our game will take place in a slightly romanticized version of the golden age of piracy.  The majority of the aspects of our game’s reality are the exact same as the actual historical time period.  This section will hopefully help give everyone a good idea of some of the differences and of the basic feel of the game.

Important Forces on The Seas

While nowhere near the only groups in existence, these are by far the most influential when it comes to power on the seas. As such while they need not be obeyed, every good pirate should at least have a measure of respect for the danger they can bring to one who becomes a thorn in their side.  In our world these nations, while not currently in open war, are constantly at one another’s throats and attempting to obtain dominance over each other.  As such, ‘skirmishes’, between vessels of each nation are relatively common place. In short there’s a lot more military vessels and naval battles taking place on the seas then there were in the real world.

The British Empire : Widely agreed as upon as having the strongest navy in the world (after the defeat of the Spanish armada in the 16th century). Great Britain is a true force to be reckoned with. They have a reputation for fiercely protecting any ships in government service. In combat they tend to make use of conventional formations and the use of long range cannon fire to cripple enemy ships often before their targets can even fire back.

France While they do not boast as large a navy as the English, the French have taken to making extensive use of privateers.  Essentially pirates with the official backing of the French government these forces are known to utterly disregard many of the conventions of ‘civilized’ naval warfare and do anything it takes to achieve their victory.

Spain Spain has a vested interest in the waters off the coast of South America and within the Caribbean. The massive numbers of ships laden with gold and silver from their colonial holdings also mean that their waters can always be expected to have a strong military presence. In combat they tend to focus on aggressive tactics, focusing on pushing towards the enemy at full speed where their ship's generally larger size(and thus larger number of cannons) can make the most difference.

Science & Reason

'We are learning more and more of the world every day my friend. At this rate I fear there may be scant few mysteries for our children to wonder over.'  - A barroom discussion between a doctor and a sailor

For the most part science has made the same progress in the game’s world as it has in the real world. Since our game takes place during the 1700s, the technology level is on par with this time.

Weapons

Flintlock pistols and rifles, are the pinnacle of firearm technology. A good sword is still very useful in battle, especially after the first shots have been fired and those with guns must reload.  In addition explosives, such as the crude grenades of the time era, do exist. BUT they are quite unstable and can prove just as dangerous to the user as to their intended targets.

An important thing to note about guns of this period is, due to the way a flintlock pistol works, getting your weapon wet is a good way to make it unfireable until it has been dried. This means that during heavy rains pistols and rifles will be extremely difficult to use, if usable at all. 

The Charted Seas

Most of the world’s waters have now been charted. Even though there are still some areas that have not been mapped, they are few in number and growing fewer every year.

Known Species

With each new discovery of an island mankind’s knowledge of the species he shares his world with grows. This continuous discovery of new species has given rise to rumors of other things, such as mermaids, lizard men, and other such fantastical creatures. As such there has been no real definitive evidence of such being existing. Though rumors of mermen and mermaids being native to the seas of America have been growing in number for many years.

Magic & Mystery

Not everything is in those books of yours, some things defy explaining-A barroom conversation between a doctor and a sailor.

Magic

Many people still believe that there is some magic in the world. While things such as wizards and spells that create walls of fire have been proven to be nothing but fantasy, the idea of curses, witch doctoring, and other such acts which call upon the power of the unknown are still considered to be real.

Ghosts

While no one knows exactly what lies beyond this world, nearly every person living in these times does believe that there is something. This means that the idea of ghosts and spirits is widely regarded as having a basis in reality. Especially amongst sailors.

Ships of the Sea

Ship Classes

Since it would be far too complicated and in depth to list every possible class of ship that could be sailing the seas during this time period(and trust me I tried O.O), I’m instead going to post up a list of broad ‘classes’ and every ship in our game will fall into one of these classes. This will ideally help everyone have the same concepts for the relative size of ships in the game. This class system is meant to be simple and easy to use rather than 100% historically accurate. So please keep that in mind.
Military Classes
These classes of ship are purposefully built for warfare on the high seas
Man-Of-War . The largest sized and smallest numbered class of ships. They are the prestige ships of any nation’s navy. As the largest class of warship, men-of-war boast at least three gun decks, this gives them extreme levels of firepower. They also have very large crews, making them difficult for smaller ships to successfully board. This means that, more often than not, they are easily a match for any ship in the water. Their only drawback is that their large size tends to make them less maneuverable and slightly slower than smaller classes of shipping.
Ship of The Line: While not as large as Men-of-War, Ships of The Line are much more numerous and tend to make up the backbone of a nation’s navy. They most often have two gun decks, though occasionally they can be up-gunned to support three gun decks. While still designed to primarily focus on firepower and armor, Ships of The Line are slightly faster than Men-of-War. A well-orchestrated Line of Battle consisting of Ships of The Line is a difficult force to defeat or outrun. 
Frigate Designed to offer an optimal balance of speed, durability, and firepower Frigates are only slightly smaller than Ships of The Line. They can carry between one and two gun decks, though carrying two gun decks often comes at the sacrifice of some of the armor found on a Ship of The Line. This means that they can often match a Ship of The Line in either firepower or armor, but not both.  The Frigate’s true strength is shown in its primary role as a commerce raider and escort ship since their speed insures that very few if any ships they engage, whether they be merchant ships or retreating military vessels, can actually make good an escape.
Sloop-of-War The smallest class of warships, sloops-of-war are designed for speed above all  else. With only one gun deck and light armor sloops take on the role of dedicated skirmishers within naval engagements. Using their speed to approach enemy ships, fire off a single volley, and then pull out of range before doing it all again. They have also been known to be used alongside frigates when pursuing merchant ships and damaged vessels attempting to escape a battle.
Merchant/Non-Military Classes
These are ship classes that are not intended for use naval combat. Most such ships are still armed and can defend themselves but they are not as effective as warship designs.
Galleon A class of large merchant ships, many of these vessels were originally military ships that have become obsolete and unsuited for military service. They can support a single gun deck but are generally slower and less well armored then ships of a similar size.  They can transport passengers but are more often used to carry large amounts of goods.
Merchant Man These are smaller merchant ships, they rarely have gun decks at all, they can transport both passengers and cargo with equal ease.

The Vendetta

The Vendetta is a heavily modified Frigate class ship. Before she entered the service of Max and his band of pirates she was a commerce raider. Designed and equipped to be fast enough to run down enemy merchant ships and sink them if need be.  In order to better fit her new lifestyle, The Vendetta has been fitted with an additional gun deck, bringing her total to two gun decks. She has also been stripped of some of her armor in order to further increase her speed. While her rigging has been reworked to require a smaller crew than she was originally intended for, all of these things combine to create a ship that is ideally suited for running down and preying upon weaker ships while her maneuverability and firepower means that in the hands of a skilled crew and captain she can theoretically hold her own against any class as large as a ship of the line, but she is extremely outmatched against a man-of-war.

Important Areas of The Vendetta

Thanks to Rahzilla for the diagram of the ship's interior

These are the areas of the ship where player interactions are most likely to take place. Other places may be used but these will most likely be the primary ones
The Deck This is the upper level of the ship, it includes the main deck, the poop deck, and the quarter deck. It can also be seen and heard from the rigging and vise versa.
The Rigging The areas above the deck, within the ropes and platforms of the ship’s masts. It can be seen and heard from The Deck and vise versa
The Galley The kitchen and main dining area of the ship this is where most crew members would take their meals.
The Medical Quarters A fully stocked (for the standards of the time) medical room. It also boasts and attached cabin for the ship's doctor to make their home in.
The Brig The ship's prison. It consists of a single large cell for holding more than one person as well as two smaller cells for holding between one and two people. There is also a small interrogation room attached to the brig.
The Hold The area of the ship used to store goods and cargo.
The Gun Decks The areas of the ship devoted to the storing of cannon and ammunition for said cannons. When not in combat the cannons are lashed in place and the gun decks are normally quite empty, with the exception of those stationed on watch over the gun decks.
The Lower Decks The lower areas of the ship, these are the Orlop deck and the Bilge. They are normally dark, damp, and not the cheeriest places to be.
Captains Quarters The captain's rooms within the ship they are within the aftcastle of the ship and take of a good portion of said area.
Officers' Quarters These are the personal quarters of individuals aboard the ship who have earned the rights to private rooms. Such as the 1st Mate, the Master-At-Arms, and other higher ranking members of the crew.
Crew Quarters: The area of the ship meant to house the lower ranked members of the crew. It is normally crowded with bunks, crew members, and personal lockers.

Aidan Blackwood
by 1SAZ
Age 28
Gender Male
Orientation Heterosexual
Appearance Details: Aidan stands at five feet and eleven inches. He sports a scar next to his left eye from childhood, and a tattoo on his right arm of a owl perched and vigilant.
Position Master-At-Arms
Personality Aidan is a seemingly cold individual to those who have not earned their keep along side him on the deck of a ship, thanks to his aptness to bark orders and yell when he sees anyone slack. To those that do know him, they know he does it because he wants to see the greatness he knows is in any shipmate and to keep his "family" alive for another day. When relaxed and enjoying a bit of rum below deck, he is usually the first to start singing a shanty and play a bit of music. When in combat, he tends to keep an eerie smile on his face, a trait he picked up while in the British Navy under Captain Harlaw. He will never back down when he feels the course of action chosen is right, and even more so when others are wrong.
Biography Aiden began his life at sea at the age of 16 when he snuck aboard the HMS Valiant, something that no sane individual would do, especially if they were Scottish. The Valiant was known to work every person on the ship hard, and leave any stowaways on the nearest beach along their travels, making it a rather inhospitable place for a young man. It was also said that they would use those left on the beach for target practice should there be no British ships or colonies in the area, though that has never been proven. However, Aidan was a luckier individual than most, as he managed to avoid certain death thanks simply to his hard work every day he was on the Valiant. Each day after being discovered on the ship, the captain of the ship, Captain Jeremiah Harlaw would light his pipe and tell the boy "Good night, Aidan. Good work. I'll most likely leave you on shore tomorrow." and each day, the boy would work until he dropped, only to have Harlaw tell him once more. For six years, this continued, and for six years Harlaw kept the boy on the ship.

Eventually, Aidan joined the British Navy under the recommendation of Harlaw, and became the captain's protege. The two would often spend the night drinking and sharing stories, but each night, before Aidan turned in, Harlaw would tell him the same thing he told him as a boy, though now with a smirk on his face. Aidan served under Harlaw for another three years until, one night during a terrible storm, the Valiant was hit by a bolt of lightning, tearing a hole in the hull of the ship. As the ship went down, Harlaw was found with a piece of wood through his hip. Aidan wanted to take his mentor with him to safety in a dingy, but Harlaw stopped him. He told the young man that "even when faced with death, a leader should never show fear. In battle or in a storm, never let your men see you quake in your boots. If you can't fake bravery, then smile, because nothing seems braver than a man who smiles in the face of death," and as he died, he gave Aidan one last smile. Aidan took the only thing he could from his mentor, his old wooden pipe, and left on one of the dingies with the survivors.

Soon after finding a port, Aidan boarded the first ship that would take him, figuring that if he wanted to make his own way in the world, he would have to do it under a black flag. The Vendetta was the first to take him, and the last. Aidan soon became the hardened man his mentor new he would under the black flag, and never without a smile on his face.
Weapons/Equipment A brace of two to eight English Naval Flintlock pistols, a British Naval Hanger, a small dagger tucked in the back of his belt, and an old wooden pipe stuck in one of the loops of his coat but never smoked.
Character's Ons: Aggressive and seductive women, playfulness, biting and scratching, otherwise, of fairly simple tastes.
Character's Offs: Overly aggressive and forceful individuals and anything involving sharp objects.
Player's Ons: Nothing in particular
Player's Offs: Rape, sexual violence, bathroom play, etc

[Urbanzorro]

@1SAZ: He looks good, just to clarify, do you mean for him to be the ship's Master-At-Arms or simply a man-at-arms?

[1SAZ]

Master-at-arms. Bit of a ditz moment there.

[Urbanzorro]

No worries, he's accepted! Now to find some more players

"Lia" Li Yan
by mai
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Orientation: Opportunistic
Appearance Details: Li Yan is pale, and the sort of slender that comes from a well-used body rather than an atrophied one. She appears healthy, and usually wears her long dark hair in a bun, held in place by two long ornate hairpins, which are decorated with a stylized plum blossom.

Position: Initially a captive, Li Yan took the opportunity to talk herself into the pirate crew. She fills a sort of fluid role. In port or in meetings with other ships, she puts her diplomatic skills to work, negotiating cheaper rates for supplies, preferential treatment, higher pay for jobs, or whatever might need acquiring. At sea, she uses her rudimentary medical training to function as ship's doctor (or assistant, should anyone more qualified happen along). She can stabilize a wound and do basic first aid, but she's not going to be doing any surgeries anytime soon.

Personality: Li Yan is skilled as a diplomat, she has a way of talking to people, learning their language and earning their trust. However, she is still aware of her heritage, her loyalties and affiliations, and how obvious it is that she serves a foreign (and, in her mind, greater) power. With her crewmates and comrades, she's friendly, if a bit reserved, and observant. With people she needs something from, she's happy to wear whatever face she thinks will best get what she wants. She also has a bit of a drinking problem. She can hold her liquor quite well, but does so perhaps more often than is wise (or economical).

Biography: Li Yan (Lia, to foreigners who can't pronounce her name properly) was born to a family of minor nobles in Shenyang, at a time of revolution. Her family were servants of the Shunzhi Emperor and loyalists of the ascendant Qing dynasty. As a reward for his service, Li Yan's father was appointed to a role in the retinue of an embassy sent to the West in order to learn more about the increasingly-encroaching Western powers. The journey West was an educational one for Li Yan, who discovered her talent for languages and diplomatic work, and distinguished herself amongst the less important members of the abassadorial retinue. In this role, she was sent as a messenger aboard another ship headed towards the English colonies in India, with the overt goal of delivering word to an old contact there, and the secret mission of trying to learn more about the scope of British naval and colonial power. However, before she could, her ship was taken by pirates, and she was captured. Deciding that a pirate ship is a better place to spy from than a carefully monitored official mission, Li Yan decided to talk her way onto the crew, and see what she could find out.

Weapons/Equipment: Li Yan hides small short knives around her clothes in vairous places, and is never without a blade if she needs to stab someone. Even when disrobed, she's able to employ the sharpened tips of her hairpins, although she prefers to negotiate out of trouble before things get violent. She probably wouldn't be much good in a more open fight, but she can aim and fire a gun if she has to.

Character's Ons: She likes people she can sort of push around, or otherwise wrap around her fingers. She likes control, and she likes sex for the pleasure of it, when she lets herself.
Character's Offs: degredation, submission, violence, overly large men.
Player's Ons: I'm interested in Li Yan's use of sex as a tool in her diplomatic arsenal, either to get things, to make someone vulnerable, or just to enjoy herself. I'm also interested in exploring her attraction to women, but there probably won't be much opportunity for such things in a man's world on the ocean.
Player's Offs: rape, excessive violence (a bit of roughness can be ok sometimes), anal, bathroom play, animals, pedophilia, etc.

[Arielle]

Evaline "Eva" Collins
by Arielle
Age 18

Gender Female

Orientation Bisexual

Appearance Details: Eva is a very noble looking woman, with long red hair and blue eyes. She typically wears her hair in complicated chignons and updos, as is proper for a young lady. She is of an average height, 5'6", and has a very feminine physique.

Position Captive. Already captured :)

Personality Eva maintains an very cold and disdainful demeanor. She grew up rather rich and spoiled and believes she deserves to be treated with the utmost respect. She is a rather strong young woman and is not one to let her few weaknesses show through. She wears her uncaring mask the majority of the time, particularly when she is extremely frightened, and has a tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. She expects to get her way all the time and isn't afraid to talk back when she doesn't. She can be stupidly brave because of this. However, despite her cold and distant appearance, once Eva does befriend someone, she is extraordinarily loyal, almost to a fault.

Biography Evaline was the daughter of an Earl in a small portion of England near Edinburgh. She grew up near the coast and quickly took to the ocean. She loved anything to do with the water, however she was very rarely allowed to leave the manor where her family lived for fear of pirates, who frequently raided the coastal villages, and peasants or locals who might do her harm. As she grew older, Eva fell into her role as a Lady very easily and came to love the life of luxury. She told through most of her life that she completely deserved all the privileges she'd been born into and that everyone else was below her, something she believed without a second thought. She quickly became caught up in lessons, sowing, balls, and everything a young woman of class needed to do and completely forgot about her desire and love for the sea.

By the time she was 17, Eva had grown into an extremely beautiful woman and, understandably, had many suitors begging for her hand. The majority of the dukes, earls, and the occasional lord to be were offering up exceptionally large bride-prices for the privilege to marry Evaline. However, the man her father eventually ended up betrothing her to at age 18 was an obscenely wealthy lord who was offering up an almost obscene amount of money to marry Eva. Eva, understanding that it was her duty to marry and bear children, was initially ecstatic at the arrangement. But, as the wedding began getting into motion and she had met with the lord a few times, she found herself dreading the day she'd have to marry him more and more. He seemed horribly old and unattractive to her. Cold and calculating to a degree she'd never seen before and almost cruel, the lord was the last person Eva wanted to spend the rest of her life with. That being said, she knew she absolutely had to.

The night before the wedding, Evaline's nerves were at an all time high. She couldn't stay in the manor anymore and practically heard the sea calling to her. Although she knew it was dangerous, Eva threw on some clothes and snuck out of the house. She walked a few miles down in the dark to one of the fishing villages for the first time in years. But she very quickly realized her mistake. The night she left happened to be the same night as one of the increasingly frequent raids on the coastal villages. Normally, in times like these, the pirates didn't bother taking captives, however, in her rich clothing and aristocratic beauty, Eva was quickly snatched up by the pirates.

Weapons/Equipment Eva's not a fighter in any of the sense of the word and carries no weapons on her.

Character's Ons: Though she would never admit it, Evaline gets quite a bit of pleasure from being submissive or not having control of a situation. Strong partners. People larger than herself. Rough, dirty sex (Growing up in such a sophisticated environment left Eva with an insatiable curiosity about things not so sophisticated and clean.)

Character's Offs: Weak men/women, violence, humiliation/embarrassment

Player's Ons: I would like to see her used sexually by the crew members (consensual or not ;) ) I'd also enjoy some, ah, relations with other women, if that ends up being a possibility XD

Player's Offs: Being dominant in a sexual situation. (Besides that, I'm pretty much up for anything XD)

(EDIT: The picture was driving me absolutely crazy >.< Sorry if changing it is going to annoy anyone O.O Won't do it again xD)

[bubby]

oOoooo..... Urban... you bad, BAD man. Now I'll need to make another new char... I'm pondering 1st mate or Quartermaster, if you're ok with a woman in these rolls.

pics

and if someone makes a char with this pic I GET FIRST DIBS!!! .... hinthint....  >:)

[Darkmoon]

I would be interested in GMing an entire vessel and its Captain and crew (all crewmen and women positions open) as a threat to the main vessel. It would be an enemy, solely intending to destroy and loot the main character ship, take its women, etc. I would be willing to play this out fatefully, with no attachment to this ship and crew, meant only to be a danger and help to unite the main characters by presenting a challenge. I'm a fan of duels and character deaths, and am willing to have any and all of these crew die, but would find it a pleasure if other characters on an individual basis were willing to roll a dice or two to play at injury or death, to keep the spirit lively.

[KnightNelson20]

Im interested in joining. And if you allow him the second ship ill join his crew.

[Rave]

I'm pretty interested in this too. I'll probably be sending you a skeleton of a Captive soon~

[Urbanzorro]

@mai: She looks good and is approved!

@Arielle: Approved!

@bubby: Feel free to take whichever post you like.

@Darkmoon: I have no problem with the concept. Though I will say that we are going to hold of on starting a second ship at all until we get our first one actually filled/crewed up etc.

@KnightNelson20: Same as with Darkmoon I have no problem with a 'bad guy' ship though once again I'd like to get the main one up to a point where it's ready to be playable/has enough people before we start working on side stuff.

@Rave: Great, can't wait!

[Urbanzorro]

Here's our captain.

Maximilian Mondego aka "Lucky Max"
by Urbanzorro
Age 32
Gender Male?
Orientation Heteroflexible (He is willing to have his way with just about any person who is feminine enough to spark his interests)
Appearance Details: Max possesses a small scar on his right shoulder, the remnants of a shrapnel wound long forgotten.
Position Captain
Personality As a result of his upbringing and military experiences Maximilian is normally a quite man, he tends to speak with a calm authority towards nearly everyone he meets. He rarely every seems to have doubts about any course of action he is taking. Those who have not known him long most often receive the impression that he is aloof and detached from his emotions. But those who know him well understand that this is simply the image he wishes to project, he has a violent temper when pushed to his limits and has been known to hold vendettas against those he feels have wronged or insulted him.
Biography Maximilian was born the son of a relatively low ranking noble family. As such he wanted for very little if anything while growing into a man. His education consisted of philosophy, literature, mathematics, and every other skill that a nobleman was expected to possess. He was brought up in the Mondego tradition, with the idea that his loyalty was, and always should be, first and foremost to his family.

By the time Maximilian had reached the age of 14 war had once again come to Europe and, as was expected by his family's tradition of service to the crown, Maximilian joined the military. His branch of choice being the navy. Throughout the war Maximilian proved himself an excellent sailor and eventually showed a strong aptitude for both tactical and strategic planning when it came to naval warfare. So much so that at war's end Maximilian had been given command of a small ship which was to be the first stepping stone to greater glories.

But all this came to an end with the advent of peace, the navy was slowly but surely downsized. And eventually Max's commission was 'forgiven' and his term of service to the crown was considered at an end. It was around this same time that the Mondego family suffered a great tragedy. In a well planned political maneuver another family managed to bring the Mondegos to shame and acquire the vast majority of their estate. With no other option left to him, Max's father took the "Gentleman's Escape" one night in the reading room of the family's house. Max's grief stricken mother followed shortly their after.

With no one remaining and nothing left to him bet vast amounts of anger and rage Maximilian gathered what little funds he could, made his way to the nearest port city, and 'acquired' a ship. He has spent the last four years of his life as a lawless pirate on the seas. Living by no other code than his own, taking what he wants from whomever he wants at any time he so desires. In that time he has managed to acquire quite the reputation as both a skilled pirate and as a man to whom the concept of mercy is quite foreign.
Weapons/Equipment Normally, Max carries his family sword, rapier who's blade he has had slightly shortened in order to increase it's ease of use aboard a ship. In addition to this he has a flintlock pistol and often carries a knife or other form of secondary blade. He also has a decorative coat he has been known to wear when needing to give off a regal presence.
Character's Ons: Max is open to most things when it comes to sex. He as a strong enjoyment for being in power over the other person and has a tendency to dominate his lovers. He also has a bit of a sadistic streak which can at times cause him to greatly enjoy causing others pain.   
Character's Offs: Scat, Extreme Mutilation
Player's Ons: Same as character's
Player's Offs: Same as character's


Also, here is our current roster of posted/accepted characters.

Captain(Urbanzorro) as Maximilian Mondego:The man/woman in charge of the crew.

1st Mate(Open): The second in command of the crew. Has command of the ship when the Captain is not aboard, and is normally charged with leading other members of the crew. This one needs to be filled

Quarter Master(Open): The crewman/woman charged with steering the ship during most situations.

Boatswain(Open): The deck chief charged with making sure all the deck hands do their jobs correctly.

Assorted Crew Member/Officersmai as "Lia" Li Yan: Doctors, gunners, etc.

Kasim Olijide
by Rave
Age: 24.
Gender: Male.
Orientation: Heterosexual.
Appearance Details: A long tattoo in a foreign language creeps down his spinal cord, from the top of his neck down to his ass bone.
Position Captive. The color of his skin curses him with the unforunate fate of being sold into slavery. He is a prisoner on the ship, captured about a month ago. There is also a bounty on his head, with an undisclosed reward.
Personality Rigid, Stern and un-approachable,  Kasim adopted these magnificent character traits to adapt to his unfortunate life. His is unruly and resistant to whoever claims 'Ownership' of him, and as such has a reputation of being terrible merchendise for any slave trader. An extreme few actually know him, or have his trust. Yet those few are the ones who know about his loyalty and his passion for life. Those few are also dead or enslaved.
Biography Kasim was born into slavery, in coastal Havana to two african slaves working on a plantation owned by the Spanish. From the moment he could lift himself on his own two feet, he was used as a butler, a house maid, a stable boy, a dock cleaner, and in general the filthiest jobs given to slaves from their Spanish owners. Whatver was too good for the Spanish to dirty their hands with, fell onto Kasim and people of his race. For a while, he had accepted that this was his life, until his mother was taken in by a Spanish sailor who decided she was his 'type' and raped. When his father protested and tried to save her, he was shot and disgarded like nothing but a piece of garbage. It was then that Ozzy changed, and adopted an unruly and arrogent attitude. He escaped the plantation and throughout his young life, drifted from place to place as a free man. Occasionally he would be captured by Slave traders and resold, only to escape and kill his captors. Because of this, he recieved a bounty on his head by the Spanish government, and has been running ever since. It was his misfortune that he attempted hiding on a ship to sail away, only to find that it was sailed by Pirates. He has been captured and thrown in the gully of the ship ever since. (approximately a month before the start of the story)
Weapons/Equipment He is profficent in using Axes, having used them growing up for labour and such. Daggers seem to be his weapon of choice, however, as it was the only thing a slave could afford or salvage. He has limited but functional knowledge in using swords and cutlasses.
Character's Ons: A woman who knows her shit. Women who can match his strength and can witshtand his sexual agression. People who don't treat him like garbage, and understand his value.
Character's Offs: Slave owners, arrogant ship captains and racists. People who try and sell him (Obviously). Timidness.
Player's Ons: Very vast, very open. Just PM me for specific kinks.
Player's Offs: Relatively few, but no Gore. That's a no-no.

[xPeachyPuff]

Here is my character. I hope she's alright. Let me know if I need to make any changes.

- Rainbow ♥

Adela Elizabeth Davenport
by xSnorkleRainbow
Age 24 Years.
Gender Female.
Orientation Heterosexual.
Appearance Details: Adela has an ugly, long scar on her lower abdomen from a badly preformed cesarean. She appears very delicate, standing at only 5'2" with a slender frame.
Position Crew Doctor.

Personality Adela is calm, tender and caring; what one would expect of a Doctor, though maybe not a doctor on a Pirate ship. Despite being curious, she isn't intrusive nor reckless. She is calm under pressure most of the time, but whenever she is stressed, hurt or upset she isn't one to seek out companionship; Adela is the type to bottle up her real emotions and sometimes that can make her hard to get to know other than just being a Doctor. She can sometimes be seen as motherly and this makes her a good listener if anybody has problems they want to share, but ultimately she feels she is lonely and out of control of her own life. All in all, she doesn't seem like the type to be out at sea on a Pirate ship, especially since Adela can't actually swim.

Biography Adela was born to a British family in a town on the edge of the sea; it's Harbor was the towns main source of new trade. Her father and mother owned a small clinic that over looked the sea and they often had stray soldiers, pirates as well as many other types end up under their care. She doesn't remember a time when she wasn't in the family clinic, in fact, she was often roped into helping out from an extremely young age. It was safe to assume that she would follow in her parents footsteps. Though she didn't have much say in the matter, it was something she'd grown up with and it was the obvious choice to help out and eventually take over.

As she grew older, Adela started to do more and more at the clinic, until she was there most of the time and could even handle shifts by herself. The clinic's clientele wasn't without its fair share of troublemakers; they didn't turn anybody in need away. One night, Adela was alone on a late shift; her parents were out for an anniversary dinner and they left her in charge of the clinic. It was late and things were slow, she was considering closing up early when two drunken British soldiers stumbled through her doors. One was bleeding from his shoulder and the other was laughing and joking about how it all happened. As usual, she cleaned the man up and dressed his wounds before sending him and his friend on their way. They didn't leave, however, and no amount of drink excused what they did next. It was the worst experience of her life; they violated her, raped her inside her own clinic after over powering her in contempt of all the alcohol they'd consumed. The girl was only nineteen years old at the time. What was worse? She conceived that night. Adela wasn't aware of it right away, but it became apparent that she was pregnant in the following months. She had the worst case of morning sickness she'd ever seen out of all the pregnant women she'd helped. Adela never told her parents, even after her fathers untimely death that occurred years later. Her mother was disgusted with her, called her horrible names, but she still kept her mouth shut on the matter. Adela carried the baby almost to full term, but there were complications and she had to have a cesarean, which was preformed in some half burnt out building by a man who claimed to be a complete professional. It was traumatic to say the least, even more so when the baby was pulled from her unmoving. After the man patched her up, horribly I might add, she was left there with her stillborn child in a puddle of blood and in complete agony.

Adela's father passed away a few years later of a illness that had spread quickly throughout the town and her mother closed down the family clinic. Adela never stepped a foot inside after her childbirth; She didn't know what to do with herself for months, but later found herself seeking out a placement on a Pirate ship. She had never thought about adventure, never needed it, but the prospect of the open sea as well as doing what she loved, helping people, was something she would later seek out.

Weapons/Equipment Adela isn't well versed with weaponry, but she does keep a small dagger concealed on her person most of the time. It's quite an old thing; she'd picked it up before setting sail and becoming a member of the crew. It's nothing special.

Character's Ons: Romance, Passionate Partners, Scars, People who know what they want, Water Scenes.
Character's Offs: Extreme Bondage, Anal, Bathroom Play, Cannibalism, Weak willed partners, Timid Characters.
Player's Ons: My O/O's!
Player's Offs: My O/O's!

Hey urban, as quarter master am I to follow guidelines like these?

[Urbanzorro]

@xSnorkleRainbow: Accepted! ;D

@Chreestafer: I'm going with a slightly romanticized/popular conceptualized version of actual roles aboard ship. In our game the job of insuring crew discipline is going to fall more to the master at arms. While all officers would be expected to enforce the captain's authority but the actual responsibility for discipline would be more for the Master-at-Arms, while the insuring of correctly done work etc would fall to the Boatswain. Though I can see the Quartermaster being tasked with splitting up crew shares of loot when/if we get as in depth as that. Hope that's a satisfactory answer?

[xPeachyPuff]

@xSnorkleRainbow: Accepted! ;D

Awesome! Thanks so much! ^-^

So other then the driver and navigator do I hold any other sway (pun intended  ;D ) aboard the ship?  Is he considered an officer or normal crew? Either is fine for me, just hoping to play my character to the best of his abilities :)

Tyree "Ty" Barrington AKA "The Baron"
by Juggtacular
Age 25
Gender Male
Orientation Heterosexual

Appearance Details: Ty stands at 6'3, making him a giant of a man in comparison with many people; he's also very muscular due to a life of pirating and physical exertion. He has several dozen tattoos, all with different meanings.

Position Weapons Master

Personality Maybe it's due to his Caribbean heritage, but Tyree is a very charismatic individual, and seems to be able to charm the pants off of anyone he so chooses. He's also rather good at getting people to open up and talk about themselves. On the inverse, he himself doesn't like to talk about his personal life much, and people tend to view him as mysterious and aloof when it comes to that topic. He's fine with it though. On the matter of business however, he takes a different approach.

He knows that pirates are a hardy bunch, and you can't be soft when commanding them, so when it comes to drills, making sure the weapons are treated with respect, and all the things that come with his job, he can be a hard ass when necessary. Sure he'll still joke around and have a bit of fun, but he has a job to do and he expects others to do theirs as well. Some people tend to be distant with him due to the fact that he worships the Loa, especially the Loa of Death "Baron Samedi"; and they believe if they cross him, he'll put a voodoo curse on them. When it comes to combat, strangely enough he acts much the same as normal. However he is cold hearted and has no qualms maiming or killing anyone in his way or anyone his Captain says needs to die.

Biography Tyree claims the entirety of the Caribbean as his home, because he was born at sea, and aside from a few landfalls every couple months, he lived at sea. His mother died giving birth to him, and his father raised him as only a pirate knew how...as a pirate. He grew up learning the ins and outs of life under a jolly roger, and he came to love it despite the hard work. But his upbringing gained him valuable skills like how to fight, how to swindle, how to pilot a ship; even how to move around the ship with the grace and ease of a dancer on stage. All good things come to an end though. His father was injured during a raid, and with no other family, he needed someone to take care of him.

So Tyree regretfully left the crew along with is father and a nice share of loot when he was just 17. The place they retired to? Port Royal, Jamaica. For several more years, Tyree helped take care of his father until one day infection reared it's ugly head. He only lasted a few more months before he passed on, leaving Tyree without a family and all alone. The only reason he'd stayed on land as long as he had was his father, as his place was by his side. However, his home was the open sea and with nothing holding him there anymore, he went straight to the docks. He wasn't that old, but he had a literal lifetime of experience and was good at what he did, nor did he have a problem proving it. So when the Vendetta pulled into port, he found himself before Lucky Max. He secured a spot on the ship and worked his way up to Weapon Master through a mix of dedication, loyalty, and just being goo at what he does.  And his position is a position he loves just as much as the feeling of being on the open ocean; and a position he'll defend to the death of him.

Weapons/Equipment Tyree is a melee specialist and likes hand to hand combat more than weapons, but he's not stupid. His main weapons are a twin pair of Dao Swords he took off the body of a Chinaman. He also keeps at least one pistol on him and a dagger in his boot.

Character's Ons: He likes all the normal things, and in the bedroom he's a bit dominant.
Character's Offs: He doesn't like the extremes, like overt bodily harm, mutilation, water games, etc...
Player's Ons: There's a long list. I haven't made it yet, but it's there.
Player's Offs: As stated above, nothing too extreme like scat, bondage, etc, etc...

[Aphe]

Hi! I'd love to join in if I could. I can have a sheet up shortly, though I'd like to play a captive - a lady in waiting perhaps taken along side another character or part of the 'loot'.

[Urbanzorro]

We are still wide open, now to review our new character

Also @Chreestafer: I essence yes, he would primarily be the driver/navigator.

Tristyn Bailey
by Chreestafer
Age 23
Gender male
Orientation straight, (yet if drunk enough might find himself in a group situation)
Appearance Details: On his left pictorial he has a tattoo of a Kraken tangled with a ship anchor.  Across his chest he holds a deep scar, one given to him by the captain (read history)
Position Quartermaster
Personality He's young and naïve yet he has a true fear of the supernatural(read history) He is fun to be with when he isn't quiet.  Yet for the most part he likes to read and often seeks out books in the loot that they find. 
BiographyTristyn Bailey was born in Ireland to a bar wench of a mother and to a father he never knew.  Around the age of 7 his mother passed away due to sexually transmitted diseases (of course they did not know what was causing her illnesses).  Sadly Tristyn was left to an elderly man who took a fancy to his mother and promised to rear Tristyn properly.  Yet his childhood was anything but fun, if anything he became a slave to old drunken man.  The old man was a fisher man for the local village and a well known one at that.  Yet the kids days started early and ended late, only surviving off the fish he caught for himself to eat.  This lasted for years as he grew to learn how to travel the waters and fish for a living.  One night, around his 18th birthday, however he came home late knowing he was going to be in trouble, upon arrival he found the old man dead, and the shack they lived in was plundered.  He instantly reported it to the local authorities, but as he waited he over heard them looking to blame him.

This is when he ran, he gathered all he could, and took off for the next town over.  He knew they'd be on his tail, but he needed to go, maybe find a ship and sail further north.  Once he arrived in the town though, he found something better, the British Royal Navy.  In Ireland the navy sought out those who needed help in these harsh times, with their words and promises, and the lingering law on his arse, Tristyn enlisted without hesitation. 

His years in servitude to the crown though did not go unnoticed.  The young man took to piloting the large vessels that bore flag of the mainland. His skills and abilities got him noticed as he found steering and navigating these ships seemed easy, though sometimes it wasn't friendly.  Often he found himself in fights with kids who were envious of his skill, this however taught him how to stand on his own. Year after year he found himself piloting larger ships with greater missions, and with in no time he was steering the admirals ship.

A few months after his 20th birthday his skills were set to the true challenge.  He was piloting a smaller ship, entrusted to protect a merchant ship setting sail for the crown, this is where the Vendetta comes to play.  it wasn't long before the pirates attacked, and knowing the mission was failed Tristyn found that he'd rather see the treasure sunk then in the hands of the pirates.  So stealing away on board of the merchant ship he soon took off with the vessel, and after a long and laborious race, the ship began to succumb to the cannon holes.  Water began to leak in and steering became difficult, yet he still kept ahead of the Vendetta.  After hours of chase, the pirate ship caught its bounty, half sunk, but non the less caught it.  Pulling his cutlass, Tristyn was ready to die, yet Captain Maximilian had other plans.  Cutting the young man across his chest sending the cutlass aside he gave the boy two options "steer or die"

To this day Tristyn wasn't sure why he chose to pilot the ship, but he has been at it for the past three years and he is only growing in his skills.  He still has an odd dislike to fog, seeming to steer far and wide from it when he see's it.  something the crew has noticed, yet something he's never spoken of either.


Weapons/Equipment Naval issued Cutlass and Dagger. a pair of flintlock Gunblades he stole on one of his first plundering's as a pirate.
Character's Ons: Books, woman, good stories, good songs, the night skies.
Character's Offs: Being in one place to long (very impatient at times), ghost stories and the dead that roam the ocean
Player's Ons: Ons and Offs
Player's Offs: Ons and Offs

Awesome! Thanks! :D

Arielle, I just thought I'd let you know that your character picture doesn't show up on the forums properly.

(Or my forum is just bugging out and this is just me embarrassing myself  8-))

[Arielle]

[Aphe]

Dulcinea (Dulci)
by Aphe
Age 17
Gender Female
Orientation Straight/ Bi-Curious
Appearance Details: Dulci is clearly of Hispanic origin, dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes. She is 5’5 and weighs 125 lbs. She is slight, but strong – used to using her muscles to work.
Position Already Captive.
Personality Dulci is a quiet girl. She’d been raised amongst noise and passion and chaos and strove to be the quiet admist the storm. She’s been called ‘cold fish’ on more than one occasion, usually by young nobleman rebuffed in their efforts to bed her. In her eyes, sexuality is a road that leads down only one direction – and that’s the direction she came running from. She’s locked away her passions in a prison she refuses to acknowledge, and instead spends her energy on making right the world around her. She could likely tame a Neanderthal to a prosaic nobleman if given half the chance. She has compassion for those beneath her and speaks with a gentle voice and kind eyes – and while her mothers hot temper lives inside of her, it does not reign supreme and is rarely lost and spent… In her eyes giving in to that depth of anger is just as bad as giving into her sexual nature. It doesn’t matter that she is surrounded by a ship of deliciously virile men – she is bound and determined to keep her modesty and wits in tact until she can find a way back to the life she’s chosen to live.
Biography Dulcinea was raised in a world borne of fire and passion. The very air around her seemed to spark with the ignition of chemistry and tension. Her mother was a Spanish beauty, famed for her temper and passion and lure of men. When she was quite young she secured herself as the life long Mistress to a very influential nobleman – their relationship being no secret to the society encompassing them. Dulcinea was their only offspring – and thusly born into controversy and the wilderness of debauchery. Each of her parents cared for her in their own way – but the girl born of fire and night longed for something more tame and tangible. Her mother raised her with values befitting a young Mistress herself and before long had begun trying to line up gentleman for her to choose to care for her as her father had her mother – But this future left nothing but a vile taste in her mouth. She wanted the structure of society and quiet evenings, she didn’t want to have to perform for affection or a roof over her head. Always, had she raised her own standards well above her mothers – and when it came time to step into her shoes, she fled instead and beseeched her father for support and help. He understood his young daughters wishes, though could offer none of his title or wealth beyond the small stipend he gave her for dresses and baubles (which she was more likely to spend on books) but he could use his influences to secure her a position as a lady in waiting to a house who could forgive her sordid background. She accepted with all the dignity her young heart could muster and threw herself into her new life with gusto. She was everything she ought to be, demure, sensible, quiet, grounded… She performed each of her tasks to perfection – creating a nice, neat little bubble around herself and her new life. She cherished the few years she had in her quiet home and was thrilled to travel with the household wherever they would go. However… her last adventure turned darker than anyone had planned as their ship was seized and pillaged, stripped of anything of beauty and value… Including her. Her deepest fear is that she will be sold into slavery, and end up following her mothers footsteps after all – though without the beauty and indulgence a wealthy man could provide with it. 

Weapons/Equipment She has a single hair pin, with a very sharp end and nothing more.
Character's Ons: She has convinced herself that she is not interested in sex in any way – though secretly the passions of her mother lie within her and under the right circumstances she would yield completely to all the wonders that await her. 
Character's Offs: Promiscuity and flagrant vulgarity.
Player's Ons: I would love to see this girl completely stripped of all her values. She was born of passion and belongs in passion. Public, slight force, girl/girl,
Player's Offs: Yucky extremes, bathroom play, animals, vore.. the icky stuff.

by Foxy Oni
Age 22
Gender Female
Orientation Believes herself to be heterosexual
Appearance Details: Kateri is a strong-featured young woman with brown hair and eyes. Standing 5' 5" and weighing 138 pounds. She is full-figured with a very ample bosom. Kateri's ears are pierced and she wears handmade jewelry inspired by her mother's Mohawk heritage.
Position Captive, not yet caught
Personality Kateri is used to hardship and has developed a stoic demeanor. She has learned to rely on herself and her faith. Raised Catholic, Kateri is very devout and even considered becoming a nun. Her hobbies are jewelry making and beadwork. A virgin who has had few suitors, she can be a bit nervous around men she finds attractive. French is her native language but she can also speak English and Mohawk.
Biography What's their personal history? Kateri was born in Canada to a French father, Pierre Beauchamp, and a Mohawk mother who did not survive giving birth. As Pierre was a trapper who spent long periods of time in the wilderness, Kateri was mostly raised by priests at a nearby mission. Her childhood was tough. Kateri had to learn to do many domestic tasks like cooking and sewing as well as help her father with his furs. In addition being a "half-breed" made her an outcast. When Pierre died two years ago, Kateri made a meager living doing chores for his fellow trappers. One day she was amazed to receive a letter from the Beauchamp family in France. They had only recently learned of her existence and offered her the chance to live with them. Eager for a new life, Kateri booked passage on a ship.
Weapons/Equipment Kateri carries a knife. It is mainly a tool but she knows how to wield it as a weapon.
Character's Ons: Kateri is ignorant about sex, although she does find herself drawn to "primitive" men.
Character's Offs: Sex is only for the creation of children by two married people.

Ooh, I'm interested! Still have room?

[Chreestafer]

ok character sheet is up and ready :)

[Urbanzorro]

@Chreestafer: Accepted!

@Juggtacular: He looks good, and is accepted! Though just to clarify when you say Weapons Master I'm thinking you mean the ship's Master Gunner, which would be the man charged with insuring the ship's weapons were kept in proper shape and the man overseeing the gun crews on the gun decks in combat. Am I right?

@Aphe: Accepted!

@AdrianZef: Yes we still have room :)

@Foxy Oni: Accepted!

Jaibana
by toshiue

Age 24

Gender Male

Orientation  Heterosexual

Appearance Details: Jaibana stand 5' 10" and has the muscular frame of a man who is extremely physical. His loincloth does little to hide his dark skinned body. Black hair falls loosely around his face. He paints himself with black ink made from Jagua fruit in order to keep the insects away. Some of designs he paints are quite intricate. He uses carved wooden blocks to make the intricate patterns on his skin. There is a deep scar across his stomach a reminder of why Spaniards can not be trusted. A simple beaded necklace hangs around his neck.

Position Striker  http://pirates.hegewisch.net/capcrew.html#striker

Personality Jaibana says he was born in the water. He takes any opportunity to jump from the ship and swim looking for food. He is skilled with a spear and can kill a manatee with a single thrust from the surface of the water. He is often quiet watching the crew from the rails as they make merry.

When asked about his past or life before coming to sea he becomes sullen and quiet. He doesn't like the Spanish and takes great pleasure in attacking their vessels.

He walks and acts with an air of authority like someone who is accustomed to giving orders and having them followed. However he never balks the authority of his superiors on the ship and is very respectful to the captain and the officers. He sees no difference in men or women as far as positions of authority go and feels either sex can fulfill any role on the ship.

Biography Jaibana was a precocious youth in his tribe and always sneaking off exploring or going to the water to swim. At the age of 8 he took his father's spear and went hunting. He encountered a large aggressive boar that attacked him leaving a large scar on his thigh but Jaibana used the spear and took the beast down.

By his teens Jaibana had already distinguished himself and became master of the hunt. He selected his bride from all of the women of his village and by the age of nineteen he had a son. Soon Spanish soldiers came to the town demanding tribute from the tribe. Jaibana said they had no gold and the soldiers became angry. They killed his wife and his son to motivate the villagers to tell them where the gold was. The Spanish soldiers were convinced they were just hiding it even though Jaibana's people cared nothing for such things. The villagers fought back and killed several of the soldiers but the captain escaped promising to come back with more. The villagers tracked the captain to the coast where they saw a large warship off the coast. They set up camp and waited for the captain to return. He did with several long boats filled with men. The villagers fought but were outnumbered. In the end all of the villages hunters and most of the soldiers lay dead. Jaibana had cut the captain with his poison tipped spear and he laid convulsing on the beach. But the captain had buried his blade deep in Jaibana's stomach. As his vision faded Jaibana saw the Spanish vessel attacked by a band of pirates. Jaibana woke several days later saved by the village medicine man one of the few surviving villagers. As soon as he was able he set out for the coast seeking a ship to join that would attack the Spanish.

Having found himself a crew willing to take him in he takes great pride in providing food for that crew. He has extra zeal for attacking Spanish vessels and has taught a few members of the crew how to use Curare poison to incapacitate and kill their foes.

Weapons/Equipment Spear, bow with poisoned arrows (curare poison)

Character's Ons: Exhibition. (Children in his culture don't even wear clothes until puberty and women just wear a simple skirt and men a loin cloth so he has no problem being nude in front of many people. He tends to be aggressive and dominant toward women and is not concerned about them being uncomfortable being naked in public.) Women enjoying themselves, even if it started as noncon.
Character's Offs: Being cut, being tied
Player's Ons: Passionate situations and dominating roles.
Player's Offs: MxM pairings(just personal not between other characters), scat, necrophilia, beastiality.

[Juggtacular]

@Juggtacular: He looks good, and is accepted! Though just to clarify when you say Weapons Master I'm thinking you mean the ship's Master Gunner, which would be the man charged with insuring the ship's weapons were kept in proper shape and the man overseeing the gun crews on the gun decks in combat. Am I right?

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I saw a position called "Weapons Master" on a site about pirate crew positions, but the way it was explained it's essentially the exact same thing under a different name. Made sure the weapons(guns, cannons, blades) were kept in good position, did the test fires to make sure everything was running smoothly, etc... It was basically a Master Gunner with one or two extra duties. I did mean to change it, just forgot, lol.

[Urbanzorro]

@Juggtacular: No Worries

@toshiue: Accepted!

[Love And Submission]

Quick question. Who handles equipment on this ship? Normally that job appears to go to the quartermaster but it appears as though the quartermaster only  stares this ship on this vessel?

With all due respect to our dear captain ,  he   must be far too busy to deal with such trivial matters as ration stocking and the evaluation of loot?
Obviously Gold and Silver and jewels of any kind are to be taken but what about artwork ,  clothing or medical supplies?

Plus someone has to go off ship to  buy supplies and  can't be the ships captain can it? What if the ship is attacked in harbor? Or a storm came while he was away?

[Urbanzorro]

@DTW: I think I mentioned somewhere that the quatermaster would be the one to split up the loot according to each crew man's share when/if that situation actually gets played out in game (as opposed to simply remaining behind the curtain) Ration stocking would be the responsibility of the cook/kitchen staff, loot evaluation would be something the captain himself would do (and I'm sure other high ranking officers would also be present to keep things honest), keeping a stock of medical supplies would fall to the ship's doctor. As far as who goes off to get supplies it would most likely be a different officer each time so as to properly 'spread the misery' of having to put off getting drunk/buying a woman in port while acquiring supplies. IF the ship is attacked while the captain isn't aboard command would fall to the first mate, if the first mate is also not aboard command would fall to the Master-at-Arms, if the Master-at-Arms is also missing then command would fall to the Quartermaster, Master Gunner, & Boatswain(with each overseeing his responsibilities) or possibly one of them who was voted into command by the other two. IF all of them are missing well then hey...we probably don't deserve the ship anyway. Additionally, both the Captain and the 1st Mate would be likely to want to oversee most things, even if that simply boiled down to reviewing manifests/receiving reports before leaving port. Its a poor Captain who doesn't realize his ship is missing something before setting off, and its a poor crew that fails to bring it to his attention/tries to hide it ;D

In a real world ship yes the Quartermaster would have more power, almost as much as the Captain and First Mate (or even more on some ships) but its one of the details that falls under the 'slightly romanticized' portion of the description so as to 'spread the wealth' so that there are more crew members of relatively equal command/importance, and a more clear/less disputable chain of command for IC purposes.

Janine Courlane
by bubby

Age: 29
Gender: Female
Orientation: Hetero

Appearance Details: Scars: Bullet wound on right thigh, whip scars across her back, a myriad of small scars everywhere from knife fights. She tends to wear bulky clothes, hiding the fact that beneath it all she definitely has the curves of a woman.

Moar Pics

Position: 1st Mate

Personality: Quiet. Watchful. Seemingly sullen, but truly simply paying attention to everything around her. Eyes always watching, ears always listening. Foul mouthed, heavy drinker, quick to a fight. Very dominant. Very loyal to her Captain, as well as the ships doctor.

Biography: Born on the island of Jamaica to a whore, she was orphaned as a baby. Growing up in such conditions, a child had only one way to survive, and this was to join a gang, and become a thief. Janine did this, and flourished. In her early teens she was a leader, and though she reveled in this, she wanted more. She would skulk around the docks, watching the ships come and go, her mind on where they went. She would watch the pirates keenly, listening to stories from the shadows, and wanting what they had.

Eventually she got the gall to offer her services to a ship. Knowing it would be hard, and knowing that being a young female put her in a precarious situation, she was ever ready to lash out at any who dared cross her. Over the years she earned many a whipping from attacking a higher ranked person aboard whatever ship she worked, but as she grew, she earned a name for herself. She was a born leader, she was ruthless, and she was willing to do whatever it took to gain a prize.

Then the Vendetta came to the island, and with it a Captain of renown. Word spread quickly, and Janine followed the crew, listening and watching. This was a ship that had been everywhere, and a Captain who treated his crew well. Hearing that 'Lucky Max' was seeking to refurbish his crew, she immediately approached him. He didn't question, or scoff. He didn't mock her for being female. He simply told her that she would have to survive on her own, or perish.

And so it was Janine became a crew member of the Vendetta, and over the last two years she has worked her way up the ranks, becoming 1st Mate. Word among some of the crew was she slept her way to the top, but those that dared to speak that way managed to come to an unfortunate demise.

Weapons/Equipment: Pair of short swords, boot knife

Character's Ons: Aggressive men not afraid of an aggressive woman. (Hoping for a romance in game)
Character's Offs: Degradation, bathroom play of any kind.
Player's Ons: Check my O/O's

Annie "Andy" Black
by MistressofPen
Age 19
Gender Female
Orientation Heterosexual.  In a pinch will do what's required to save me skin even if it's ta' flirt with some skirt.
Appearance Details: I'm not big. What I lack in size, I make up fer in attitude.  I was but a girl when first takin' ta the sea.  As time passed and them sea dogs started to look side-a-ways at me, realized my girl parts weren't so well hidden no more.  Keepin' my hair greased up and tied down under a kerchief, I pass for a boy...mosta' the time anyways.  I makes sure not to wash too much, keeps buggers away.  And, the grease in me hair...?  Well, I ain't never had a nit, so thar!
Position Most likely crew.  Possible powder monkey or kitchen work.  Some captains have seemed to know my persuasion.  But, I'm a good sailor and quick, so's they put me to work where things is delicate...sewing up clothes, flags, and sailors as the need came along.
Personality Aye, what I am is a survivor.  I does what I have to do to fill me belly and keep me skin intact.  If'n I can make a little coin along the way, so much the better.
Biography Once upon a time I was a happy little girl with a family.  Then the plague came and took them all...one - two - three and I was an orphan.  They tried to put me in an orphanage.  But, I saw them kids and I wasn't havin' none of that.  I spent a few days on the streets, keepin' outta the way o' the gangs of orphans who'd have taken my last shoe...me bein' scrawny and all.  Fast, I managed -just- to keep from them types.  Sleepin' in the church (no lightnin' neither so I cain't be all bad) of a night and hidin' up on roofs during the day.  But, you has ta' eat and one foray down to the shops and I had the constable on me heels.  Bastard woulda sent me to the home if he'd a' caught me.  Like I said, I'm little and fast and the crowds in the market area hid me from his damned eyes.  Runnin' I found meself at the docks and smelled food and saw a man dressed real fine.  There were a smatterin' a boys hanging about, a few toffs with their fine clothes, but mostly scrawny kids, like me, 'cept theys boys.  I'm all about equality of the sexes.  So, dressed in the clothes I'd salvaged from the ragman's cart (what?  he just stole them from the bodies in the streets!  I figure I had as much right to them as him) I trimmed my scraggily hair all one level, mostly, and, like the boys, tied it in a little bob at the back o' me head and got in line.  The ship was takin' on crew.  And, bein' a survivor, like I said, I managed to lie...ummm...I managed to convince them my skills were needed.  And, that's how I gots to sea.  Sailin' bein' what it is, we came into some conflicts.  Somewhere's near to the coast of France, our fine ship was done in.  Cuz I could swim, I managed not to go down with the ship.  I watched the cowardly captain plonk his ass in a dinghy and row away as I floated there.  I don't know how long I was there, but scavengers picked me up and when I was known to live, they took me in.  Back then, we was called Privateers and we bullied those froggy ships to our gain, and to the good King's, too.  The life suited me, suited my greedy self to a T.  I hadn't been found out as a girl, so I signed on and did what they told me.  And, that's the life I led...until my girl parts started to round-out.  Now, it takes a bit o' work to blend in.  It's worth it.  The sea is me home.  It would take an army stronger than the King's to get me back ta' land, now. 
Weapons/Equipment I'm an opportunistic fighter.  But, I have a shiv given' me by one of me mates who I think cottoned-on to what I was.  It's served me well.  Four inch blade with a wooden handle, the hilt wrapped in leather.  I carved a date on the handle, bein' as I learned to read and write when I was still a girl with a family; it's the date I became an orphan.
Character's Ons: Strong men who know what they want, but aren't cruel. 
Character's Offs: Abuse of any sort, particularly of others.  She can take care of herself...generally.  (Relatively inexperienced, so has no formed opinions on the variety of sex she'd dislike or like for that matter.)
Player's Ons: Lead-taking male who isn't afraid of a female who likes to learn and sometimes take the lead herself. 
Player's Offs: Bathroom-related body function play of any kind; rape in general (I get this is a pirate rp and I understand that went on--but this is why Annie keeps her shiv close).  See MoP's O/O's:https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=25149.0

[Marconi Drake]

Samson Prout
by Marconi Drake

Age Early 30's, far as he can tell

Gender Male

Orientation Heterosexual

Appearance Details: Tall, broad frame with thick, corded muscles along his arms. Too many scars and burns to speak of, although two prominent marks: a healed over puncture wound on his torso, just about his left hip; and "4501" branded into the back of his right hand, also healed over.

PositionMaster Carpenter

Personality A ruthless hedonist with a death wish -- or at the very least, an understanding that is life is destined to be a short one. When others are fleeing the most damaged parts of the ship, those hit harvest by cannon fire and flooding, he is there, trying to repair damage and keep this tub from disappearing beneath the waves. As such, he eager to fit as many earthly pleasures in before he meets his Maker, because he knows there is no salvation for him.

He is outgoing, charming even. But a childhood in anarchy taught him that there is no such thing as loyalty. He will be on your side, until it suits him otherwise. If he wants something, he will take it: be that fortune, women, or a life. A man only owns what he can defend.

Biography Some men are simply not made to be good. Samson's course was set from his birth. He was born to a nameless woman in the dark holds of a prison near Kingston.  He never knew his mother's name, or her crimes, for she was dead before he was able to speak. From that time, his life was the prison: not really a prisoner, but not free, he lived within those crumbling walls, eating what could be found and dodging the most sadistic of the guards and inmates.

He killed his first man at 7, a guard with a twisted gleam in his eye who was too focused on Samson's form that he did not see the shiv in the boy's hand. By 10, he realized that having a useful skill would mean more food and some measure of protection from the guards. He became an apprentice to the jail carpenter, learning the trade by day while spending his nights sneaking extra food and tools to inmates looking for impromptu weapons.

At 16, an explosion in the prison's armoury was the catalyst in a massive riot and escape attempt. pandemonium erupted, with inmates killing guards and each other, all in a desperate bid to get their chance to leave the hellish prison. It was a fierce riot, with former friends and allies turning on one another, teaching Samson that when push comes to shove, one must look after themselves.

After the escape, Samson drifted around aimlessly, stealing to survive. He was just shy of 18 when he was recruited as an apprentice carpenter. For the first time, Samson had found a measure of respect -- a skilled carpenter being highly-valued on a pirate ship. He had also found that the life suited him - adrenaline, danger and a life of the excitement of taking whatever he wants.  Now, he has found himself aboard the Vendetta.

Weapons/Equipment Samson carries a flintlock and rapier at his side, just in case they are needed. But in truth, Samson has killed more men with his carpenter's hammer than with any blade.

Character's Ons: Rough, wild nights. Willing women. Unwilling women. Not surprisingly, he is usually dominant, but it is always fun when someone can meet someone who is his match.

Character's Offs: Not in for bathroom or blood play.

Player's Ons: My O/O's

Player's Offs: My O/O's

"Hawk" Ying (阿鷹)
by DragonTrainer

Age 18

Gender Male

Orientation Heterosexual

Appearance Details: Stands approximately 5 ft 7.  In spite of initial appearances, has the body of a trained warrior.

Position The Lookout / Cartographer (Back-Up Navigator)

Personality Best described as a daydreamer who likes to spend most of his time with his head up in the clouds.  He could even be described as a being a bit goofy.  He's approachable and tries to be friendly with other people. He can also be surprisingly stubborn and make very reckless decisions at times. Once he's made up his mind about something, he'll see through it to the end.

In the rare cases that he's able to stave off his daydreaming tendencies, he proves to be a very observant and analytical individual.  He may even fake his usual aloof and carefree nature to hide the fact that he's paying attention for once.  He's most likely to be like this when he has finally set his mind on a single, tangible goal.

Biography Ying was born and raised in Shenyang and was a descendent of a master archer of the Imperial Guards Brigade of Manchu Bannermen.  He was practically taught how to use a bow and arrow as soon as he learned how to walk.  In addition to his weapons training, he was also taught strategic warfare and tactics, often by his strategist cousin.  One of the "tricks" he picked up during these lessons was the ability to read the skies and predict the weather.  This was a skill that was derived from the farmer's ability to read the weather and determine the best way to work on their crops.

Ying was eight years old when he went on an excursion to the seas with his cousin.  Unfortunately, the ship he was on was attacked by pirates, who were led by the dreaded Captain Red Snake.  His bow and his cousin's sword were both taken by the Captain as trophies.  For the next four years, Ying had been forced to work as a Powder Monkey.  During this time, he befriended the ship's Sea Artist, Kappa, who taught the young lad how to read the ocean and maneuver ships.  Unfortunately, Kappa was getting a little too much support from the crew for Red Snake's liking.  Red Snake became paranoid that Kappa intended to mutiny against him and so he made the first move.  He had the Sea Artist along with his closest friends rounded up to be executed.  Enraged, Ying attacked Red Snake, but was easily subdued due to the large difference in size, skill, and experience.  Instead of killing Ying, however, Red Snake opted to throw him into the brig.  Ying never saw what happened to his friend afterwards.

While Ying was down in the brig, the ship was suddenly attacked by another ship.  Actually, it was more likely that Red Snake attacked another ship and bit off more than he could chew.  Turtle's absence played a major part in Red Snake's eventual defeat.  In the confusion of the battle, Ying managed to escape from the brig and sneak into the Captain's quarters.  There, he reclaimed his bow along with his cousin's sword.  With bow in hand, he stepped back out onto the deck to see Captain Red Snake in the thick of battle.  Notching an arrow, Ying fired off a shot and pierced the Captain's right eye.

As it turned out, the other ship belonged to the British Navy.  Although the naval ship was small, it was commanded by an excellent sailor with a strong aptitude for both tactical and strategic planning when it came to naval warfare.  Ying was taken under the naval officer's wing as a Cabin Boy.  Two years later, he would assist this same naval officer in 'acquiring' a ship to start a life of piracy.

Weapons/Equipment Despite being a pirate in an era where firearms were prevalent, Ying prefers his Manchurian Horn Bow.  He also carries a straight sword, a few throwing knives, and a single flint-lock pistol (just in case).
Character's Ons: Submissive women, girl-on-girl, and humiliating others
Character's Offs: Scat, dismemberment, and children
Player's Ons: Same as character's (Also, check my Ons & Off)
Player's Offs: Same as character's + guy-on-guy (Also, check my Ons & Off)

[AdrianZef]

Alright, I'm finally going to get around to making a CS. Not sure if the roster on the first page is updated though. Have room for another captive?

[Urbanzorro]

@Everyone: Hey, sorry about no posts from me for the past two days or so, work has been slamming me a bit, there is still room for captives at this point. I'll have a list of all the current characters up but I'd say we are about stocked for crew right now and could maybe use about 2-3 more captives. But other than that I think we are set to start.

@ Deathnote: So just to clarify are you applying for Boatswain or no?

[Deathnote]

@ Urbanzorro: He's the boatswain who spends most of his time up in the crow's nest.  He practically lives up there.  Would that work?

[Urbanzorro]

@Deathnote: For being in the crow's nest most of the time he'd be much better off being the ship's lookout. As boatswain his place would be on the deck, where the deck crew can see/hear him easily and be influenced by his presence. I'm ok with him taking up either position, nor am I against crew having more than one job, it's just that those two jobs are somewhat contradictory. Which would you prefer?

[Rave]

Death note just put up a look out character sheet actually so it might be a filled position if it's accepted.

[Deathnote]

The basic idea behind my character is that his eyes are so good that he can see what's going on throughout the ship from his nest.  He has the uncanny ability to predict the weather just by reading the skies and he has a habit of reading/making charts while he's up there.  He sends down arrows with messages written on them and in a pinch, he could "fly" down (make use of the rigging) to get back onto the deck.

I actually wanted to take The Sea Artist position, but it sounded a little too much like the romanticized version of the Quartermaster position.  In fact, I suspected that it's not really a position and more of a secondary skill-set, since the description read: "Possessing such knowledge often would make a person the second mate if he were not already the first mate or captain."  Since we're going with the romanticized version of crew positions, my being the Sea Artist would take away the only job Chreestafer's character would have left.  That's when I read the part in the Master description that said: "Under these "masters" would be a series of mates. Thus you might have a gunners mate and gunners second mate and so on."

So... maybe the Quartermaster also has a series of mates under him?  I looked through the positions and it looked like the Boatswain would be directly under the Quartermaster.  What's more, he could be considered as the "fourth mate" of the whole ship.  It's for that reason alone that I chose the Boatswain position.

So... if "The Sea Artist" is not completely redundant, maybe my character could be both the Lookout and the Sea Artist?  If Chreestafer's Quartermaster character Tristyn Bailey is also the Second Mate for having the skillset of The Sea Artist, then maybe my character could be his assistant instead?

[Viper]

Interested in putting viper as a captive, a wild woman that was a prisoner on a precious ship and they have no idea what to do with her. Will post her bio as soon as I can.

[AdrianZef]

Morgan Vane
by AdrianZef
Age 30
Gender Male
Orientation Heterosexual
Appearance Details: Several scars along his body from multiple fights and a rough life on the sea. Brutishly strong and thick body, tends to fight with strength and force rather than finesse, though when necessary, he has a surprisingly soft touch with a sword. His long hair is sometimes braided, sometimes left straight.
Position Captive. (Check bio to see how he was caught)
Personality Cold and calculating, he's patient if it's required to land what he wants (well, as far as pirates go, at least). While his strength and appearance make him look like a brute, he's much less hot-headed than it may seem, though he can get angry quickly. He's impatient when it comes to anyone working for him, as he abhors incompetence. He has a surprising soft spot for romance and women, though he would never say that about himself, and would strangle first person to say anything of the kind.
Biography Captain Morgan Vane of the Alhambra was a dreaded pirate of the seas, feared by many. For several years he led his crew to treasure and pleasure, plundering many ships traveling back to Europe or from Europe.

No one knows much about his history before he became a pirate, but he was a wandering deck hand for several years before working his way up the Alhambra's crew. The Alhambra at that point wasn't quite as well known, so they were scrapping for treasure, barely making anything. Morgan Vane suggested a risky venture, that he had gathered some intelligence on, and so they were off, not knowing who would come back, and if those who did come back would return with empty hands. During the battle for the treasure ship, the current captain died, and Morgan quickly took over command, leading the crew to a victory, despite several deaths. When the ship returned, they held a few minutes to respect the dead, before they began celebrating their new riches. Morgan Vane was unanimously chosen as captain, given how he had led them to victory.

Him and his ship continued their upward ascent in glory, but in recent times they had had some trouble finding treasure. Morgan Vane's approval among the ranks was decreasing, and there was a newcomer who was threatening to uproot him. Around this time, Morgan had fallen for one of their supplier's daughters, who he was romancing. Little did he know how she would turn her back on him. She betrayed him, giving him low-quality ammunition and weapons from his last large order, which the Alhambra would use to catch a rumored treasure galleon traveling in nearby waters. Without the new weapons, the fight quickly degenerated into an escape, and Morgan was deposed and tossed out to sea. From there, Morgan was found by the Vendetta, where he was promptly tied up and taken captive, if for nothing else than his reputation and former position.
Weapons/Equipment Prefers to use a large, heavy two-handed sword, almost like a cleaver. Sometimes uses a pistol and a hammer instead, when fighting with more of his raw strength.
Character's Ons: Submissive or dominant woman, rough foreplay and sex, public touching, romance, women that play hard-to-get
Character's Offs: Anal, blood play
Player's Ons: Check my O/Os and my character's O/Os!
Player's Offs: Check my O/Os and my character's O/Os!

[Urbanzorro]

@Deathnote: Lets go ahead and make him the ship's lookout/cartographer, he can be tasked with keeping an open eye from the crowd nest and also providing maps to the quartermaster so that the quartermaster has more than one perspective to insure his navigations are as accurate as possible.

@KariaShinzou: can't wait to see her

[Juggtacular]

Sean Bean?

[Vassus]

Bloody terrible with formatting, hope I didn't botch anything up on that front. Beyond that, here he is:

Alexander Brand
by Vassus
Age 32
Gender Male
Orientation Bisexual, somewhat uncomfortable about it
Appearance Details: A stringy fellow, with more dexterity than strength, he has a pale complexion from his homeland, and a scar on his shin from his brother.
Position Boatswain
Personality When there's business to be done, he'll get it done, should he see fit. When he puts his weight into something, there's a good chance it'll move. Otherwise, he can be a layabout. He doesn't make assumptions about his work, which is why he's a boatswain rather than a quartermaster or a captain. Drinks as heartily as any other man, and will romance anyone who will let him. He's a good person, besides the rape, looting, and murder.
Biography Raised in Ayrshire in Scotland, he was raised by his father (who gained wealth trading fabrics) and step-mother along with two brothers. His youngest brother was always up to something, and it evolved from childhood pranks to things more sinister when their father grew elderly and inheritance came up in conversation. There was enough for all three, but there would be much more for the youngest son if there weren't any brothers in the picture.

After killing the middle child, Alexander knew that his youngest sibling was out for blood. After a battle between himself and some street thugs, Alexander killed four men, his brother included. Fleeing justice for what he believed would be entirely blamed on him, he fled to Socrata, an island south of the Yemeni Eyelet of the Ottomans. He decided to return home after five years around the Arabian Peninsula, stealing and finding himself in minor service in the New Order armies of the Turk, picking up some Turkish to go along with the Arabic he learned from his time wandering around the levant, and what French he could remember from his education.

As he gained minor reputation and a price on his head, he decided to try and make it back to Europe, or maybe the Americas. This would not happen, as he was captured by a pirate ship (not unlike our ship), joined up, and rose through the ranks, eventually finding his way to the Vendetta.
Weapons/Equipment A scimitar, a short-barreled rifle (if carbines are available, a carbine), and, of course, a flint locked pistol.
Character's Ons: Including but not limited to: Assertive women, light bondage
Character's Offs: Humiliation, animals, typical things
Player's Ons: bondage, being a switch
Player's Offs: Intense wounds, cutting.

[Vassus]

Not Sean Bean, though he may be a better visual representation of my character. Eh, je ne sais pas.

[Viper]

Viper
by KariaShinzou

Age 20...22...maybe?
Gender Female
Orientation Preference to men, but the right woman will get her gears grinding

Appearance Details:

Eyes: Gold, the pupils slitted like a snake in day light, but become blown out in the dark for night vision

Mouth: On both top and bottom jaw she has dual sets of incisors to complete a set of four fangs. She has a split tongue and it is VERY difficult to understand her to those who don't take the time to understand. (i usually leave the split tongue as an optional effect) Her jaw can unhinge as well.

Hair: Long jet black hair that reaches her knees, gives her the effect of a cobra when fighting.

Skeleton: Her spine consists of 52 vertebrae that are a bit smaller then a normal humans, but makes her torso look strangely long. Her joints are able to bend in uncanny directions so that she can fit through impossible spaces. She can turn her head nearly 180 degrees.

Muzzle(optional depending on story): She wears a metal muzzle that covers her nose and entire jaw, whether put by force or wears it out of discipline, she is almost always wearing one. (like the hannibal mask only not so creepy, more mundane.)

Venom: If bitten, a normal human will feel like they have taken ecstasy x1000 and within a minute their heart will seize up and die. This is a comfort for Viper since she needs to release her venom and her victims die happily. Only blood ignites the release of venom (excluding pure animals). At the same time, this venom attacks Viper's own body, one could spill her guts upon the floor and she would only feel pleasure. She is constantly sensitive, her hair tickling her neck, the brush of fabric upon her skin, to the ground beneath her feet drive her body to insanity. The more she brings up her heart beat, the faster the venom rushes through her body and becomes more effected by the venom. Over time she has learned to function through it.

Position Captive, probably in a cage in the cargo hold...and making lots of noise.

Personality Untrusting, scared, angry, and broke. This viper is in search of somewhere safe, she is always hunted. And though she has gotten a grip of her body, people still seek to hurt, kill, and cage her. She wants a sanctuary, where she can be what ever it is that she is, and not be judged or hated for it.

Biography Ever since Viper can remember, she has been hunted, caged, traded, and sold for no other purpose that she is exotic and dangerous. Viper has no recollection of where she was born or who her parents are/were. Living her whole life to survive, she has always prayed for a place where she could truly free.

Weapons/Equipment Get near her mouth, and its over. Though place anything in vipers hands and she can club or stab anyone to death, but really isn't trained in any weapon other then her fangs.

Character's Ons: For Viper Specifically: A man that can stand toe to toe with her in battle and wear her out. Someone who takes the time to teach her, and kindness, are things that turn Viper into a little kitten.
Character's Offs: Unexpected advanced upon her person (intentional touching without knowledge or permission), being called stupid because she usually cant understand others and it is hard for her to speak with her split tongue. Being judged for what she has attempted to do to survive. Anal. Being caged, or bound in anyway.
Player's Ons: O/O's
Player's Offs: O/O's

She would never intentionally harm an innocent, oh no, not the purring kitten that was viper, if kittens had fangs, were poisonous, and liked to rip writhing bodies to shreds only to bathe in their internals and laugh at their horrified screams

Question.

I was under the impression this game was human based?

[Vassus]

Aye, so was I. Her character's not the worst thing that could happen, though. It could be fun as long as only she and maybe like one other person does it. Urban did mention "fantasy elements" (though whether he intended it for this, who am I to say?).

[Juggtacular]

The more "fantastical" elements of Pirates of the Caribbean had zombies, mermaids, undead skeletons and fish men under the command of Davy Jones.

[Viper]

I can dumb her down a lot, I was going to add more to her bio that she is from deep within the uncharted forest of the Amazon.

[Rave]

I think it's fairly realistic to say she uses poison as a weapon and has sharpened her teeth in such ways that they appear as fangs. The things that just seem a little too much for the general humanity of the characters is the dislodging of the jaw and the spinal chord. She's definetelty interesting, I'd just humanize her a bit rather than dumb her down.

[Juggtacular]

Ooooh. A suggestion if I may?

Like Rave said, humanizing doesn't have to necessarily mean dumbing her down a lot. Instead of the jaw stuff and all that, why not make her like Copperhead in Arkham Origins? Triple jointed so she can move around like a snake(rare, but has happened in people), filed her teeth to fangs and her nails/toes to claws, etc, etc, etc... And at the end of the day, she's extremely snake like, but still a person. And having been born and raised int he deep jungle, it would be strange to everyone else, but explainable.

[Rave]

This ^ Is actually a very good idea.

[Caela]

Oooooo, now this looks interesting and already has a great group or writers! Am going to have to make a CS and hope it's not full up...or make one and just wait patiently until the Captain is ready to take on new crew or more captives! :D

Jezebel "Bell" Stanton
by Caela
Age 24
Gender Female
Orientation Heterosexual
Appearance Details: Bell has pierced ears and a strawberry birthmark on her left hip in the shape of a crescent (waxing) moon.
Position Captive, to be caught

Personality Initially Bell seems like a quiet and proper young woman, perhaps a bit more well-read than most people would like in a woman but still well mannered, polite, and seeming to know her station for all of that failing.

Those that know her, know that appearances are most decieving! While she can play at being meek and proper, Bell's natural personality is bright, bubbly, opinionated and outspoken. Being intelligent she all but devours every book her Father can get his hands on for her and particularly enjoys scholarly works and the few, and far between, scientific papers that manage to get written and published.

Biography The only child of a well-off jeweler/goldsmith, Bell, has been rather spoiled and indulged most of her life. While her Father demanded that she be able to pretend to societal customs in public, in private he cared very little for his daughter's particular eccentricities, and, in fact, took pride in indulging them. He ensured that she was far more educated than many young women were allowed and was, quietly, proud of her knowledge, even though he made her hide it when his clients visited his shop, or called at their home to place more personal orders.

His one frustration, brought on by his own indulgence of his daughter, was her refusal to marry a man she didn't love. With his own success he could afford her a substantial dowry and had hoped to make her a match to a member f the gentry who had fallen on hard times and would need the money he would settle on her at her marriage. As his only child, and with his business and monies being un-entailed, she would also stand to inherit quite a sum upon his death as well. Unfortunately, she saw no reason to marry but instead chose to aid her Father in his business, learning to keep his books, which other merchants and ship's Captains he could deal with honestly and which would try and cheat him while also running their household and playing Hostess for him when he held dinner parties.

It mattered very little to her that she was considered a "spinster". In fact she enjoyed the greater freedom this actually afforded her to do as she liked as she grew beyond was was, generally, considered being of good marrying age. It was that freedom however, that allowed her to be on a ship, with the purpose of visiting a Maiden Aunt in Barbados, that would be attacked by pirates and allow them to claim her valuables and herself as booty for their troubles. 

Weapons/Equipment N/A
Character's Ons: Bell is pretty innocent sexually, beyond knowing she finds men attractive there's not much to say.
Character's Offs: She absolutely won't enjoy bestiality, bloodletting (a bit of biting or scratching that breaks the skin is o.k. but being cut on isn't), maiming, underage, or toilet play. Anything else can be experimented with at least once.
Player's Ons: I would like to expand Bell's sexual/romantic horizons and find her in situations in which she is distinctly uncomfortable but that she learns she actually enjoys once she gets past her inhibitions.
Player's Offs: Anything other than what is on the character's off's lists can be negotiated.

[Viper]

I will modify as soon as possible. Thank you Rave and Jug for the advice. I put her out there as my characters original features just to see reaction and what is liked and disliked. So ill put in the changes and re post a changed application asap.

[xPeachyPuff]

Posted. I actually wrote a load up and then was about to post it when Marconi posted for Samson, haha! Had to rewrite some parts, so I hope it's alright.

- Rainbow ♥

[Rave]

Haha, Tubby the Pirate now has an official name!

[bubby]

Not sure if things have started or not, but I'm going to have to back out of this game. Apologies.

[xPeachyPuff]

Noo, Bubby ;-; That's a shame since I was really looking forward to our characters interactions.

- Rainbow

[Vassus]

It feels like things are getting good and started!
