A little under 2 years ago sansa created this plot idea , sadly it never quite took off past the opening encounter due to some posting delays amongst the writers.
Saying that myself and Maeve are really keen to get it going again.
Warning this story involves rape/non con scenes.
Looking for.......Three more female writers to play the female characters(Maeve has one of the spots
) , there is a likelihood that you will be able to play 2 or more characters if you wish.
One Female character will be aged between 22-27 and act as chaperone for the young ladies (her background is up to the writer however she will have a social background that would be acceptable to the young ladies)
The Young Ladies: your characters age should be between 17-20 (they can be minor nobility but should not be royalty, otherwise they are the daughters of wealthy men or various commanders in the British Navy and Army)
Pirates
I'll be playing the Captain , so looking for two male writers to play the Quartermaster of The Storm and one of the crew members. Age is open but would need to be a good reason for a male character to be under 20.
There will be a number of npc pirates created as the story moves forward.
1715.
Spanish dominance over the America's, and in particular the Caribbean, is being challenged by the British, French and Dutch . All four powers are pouring their strength and focus on securing their domination of the area and while Spain fights all three , the other three powers also fight each other.
Sometimes with flagged forces more often with privateers. Growing up in this world are ladies of high social standing , the daughters of Governors and Commanders, Captains of War and Captains of Commerce....but what to do with them as they grow older?
Marriage of course, however it must be the right marriage, and there is only one place where such ladies should be in order to gain such a marriage...London. However before this, the rough colonial edges must be removed , so every other year a ship travels from Dublin to the Caribbean sailing from British held island to British held island and then along the Coast of the British Colonies of America picking up women to be sent to the finest finishing school in the Empire before the ladies are presented to society (and prospective husbands) in the capital.
The Captain of this ship has been doing this now for near twenty years , he knows these waters as well as any man and more importantly he knows how to avoid not just the Spanish , the French and the Dutch but also Pirates. Unfortunately on this voyage , with a number of ladies on board all ready, the captain of the ship suddenly develops a severe fever and is beyond the help of the ships doctor. The first mate, while a capable seaman is on his first voyage to this part of the world....
elsewhere
The Storm captained by Erasmus 'One eye' Holbrook had earned a growing reputation for daring and very successful attacks on vessels of all flags. Thou Holbrook himself favours attacking Spanish ships since they were almost always the richest pickings. For three days the Storm had been shadowing a small Spanish convoy waiting for the right moment to strike.
When lo and behold one very fat looking Barque had been left behind in the middle of the sea and looked to be under repair....and the poor thing was all alone. Holbrook sent the Storm directly to it , a fine enough prize , it was only as the pirates boarded that they realised something was wrong...the Spanish ship had three times its usual number of crew and as the battle to claim the ship raged , three new sails appeared, Spanish military vessels. Realising the trap Holbrook ordered his crew to retreat ..to flee.
And so they did, but with only half their previous number, sadly Holbrook did not get back to his ship. For several hours the undermanned Storm evaded the faster and more powerful Spanish ships using ever trick Holbrook had ever taught his young first mate. When they were finally free of pursuit the crew elected that first mate as Captain....but with no money that new Captain realised they could never gather more crew and supplies, they would head to safe harbour, sell the Storm and the crew would scatter.
Then the Storm encountered another ship.......
Moving forward the rough plan for the story is that the Pirates sail both ships to a nearby island that they know well...it has a deep harbour and a decent supply of wood, water and food for the fetching.
There they rape the ladies while they decide just what to do with the women and two ships they can barely crew. When the choices appear to be abandoning the ladies ship and selling the women so they can at least make enough money to maintain the Storm, the ladies come up with another idea....let them join the crew....
If there is enough interest we will generate a character sheet. While the above is an outline of the previous attempt at this story was going to follow its not completely fixed.
