Introduction

The Year is 1717. You are a sailor aboard the brig, the Paladin. You have joined the crew of a privateer vessel commissioned to raid ships in the Caribbean by King James I. Piracy is rife in this era, you will encounter many enemies and if you are skilled enough you will also encounter much gold. Good luck, you'll need it.

Policies

I'm going for a mostly realistic approach to this RP
There are different positions in this RP such as Captain(taken by me) First Mate, Rigger, Gunner, Crew Chief etc. Although there will be a ranking system based on the Royal navy to make things simpler for us. You can be whatever you want.
Decisions of where to go will be made ultimately by the Captain but suggestions will accepted. Majority and rank will affect this.
This is casual so I would want around 100 words minimum.
