Chatting with your own NPC's does not a role play make.

No, blowing other ships to smithereens a roleplay makes.
I doubt most of us are going to be isolated on the high seas without seeing another RP'er.

Unfortunately, no... I can probably remember a lot of it though, if you ever want to recreate it. I only have mine because I type it out on a doc before posting it.
I'm still counting on you or Cloudy to be part of The Siren! Okay~?

Name: Matt Greensboro
Nicknames/Titles: "Map"
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Pirates
Allegiance Faction: Andrew Gow's Crew
Role: Navigator/Backup Helmsman
Personality: Cheerful and somewhat naive, Matt doesn't like close combat, and is sickened by the sight of blood. He would prefer not to fight at all, but that's what pirates do. He's hoping that in finding this treasure, he can retire to a small town somewhere, and not have to fight again. He is loyal to his captain, and wouldn't dream of backstabbing anyone.
Enhanced Ability: Farsight. Matt can "see" the position of ships, rocks, reefs, islands, etc from a distance farther than the horizon. This can be useful in charting a route or chasing a ship, but doesn't do much else.
Biography: Matt is the eldest son of Mary and George Greensboro, with 9 younger brothers and sisters. His somewhat middle-class family couldn't support them all, so Matt left home at the age of 16, to seek his fortune in the world. After wandering for some time, he found himself hungry and penniless in a dockside town in Virginia.
He hired on to a small merchant vessel, in need of crewmen, and not too picky about who they chose. He earned a reputation as a hard worker, with a good head for charts. After landing in the Caribbean, he transferred to a different ship, flying the Jolly Roger.
Thus began his life as a pirate. He soon took the position of navigator, and managed to bring "good fortune" on the ship, always happening to find ships that otherwise would have been missed. One ship was a decoy, however, and Matt didn't foresee the English Navy lying out of sight. The Sore Dreams, Matt's ship, was quickly sank by the British, and the boy was taken captive. His youthfulness and innocent charm made his captors pity him, so instead of the piracy death penalty, they only put him in gaol for a week, then let him go.
Out of work once more, he searched the docks for a reasonable ship. The only one available was a small gunship, with the captains promises of buried treasure. Not wanting to stay in town, Matt agreed to the First Mate's offer, and took position as Navigator for the small vessel. Surprisingly enough, the captain was true to his word, and soon had a small fleet to command.
Likes: Money, good food, and books.
Dislikes: Alcohol, bullies, and blood.
Family: A very large one home in Virginia, but he has no contact with them.
Weapons: A long-barreled rifle and a short cutlass. (If he's going to kill someone, he would prefer to do it from a distance.)

Aw, oh well. I still remember him well enough to make a new CS.
Oh, but of course! I have pledged my life to this ship.

Name: Abejidé
Appearance: WIP
Nicknames/Titles: Dé
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Himself and other now free slaves.
Allegiance Faction: None
Role: Captain
Personality: Dé is a cold man, he has lived through it all and has seen his family and friends be killed in front of him. Despite this he is welcoming to other slaves and is always willing to listen to please of attacking plantations and slave ships. He is a realist and if he see’s something as totally impossible he is most likely to avoid it entirely. He believes all ‘White man’ are evil and that they all are power mad slave owners and so finds it very difficult to even show a white man any sort of respect. He uses his powerful and inspirational voice to good effect and this is no different even when he is not talking to a crowd. He enjoys the fact he can almost always intimidate people.
Enhanced Ability: Dé has been known to raise his entire crew from slaves he freed or have freed themselves. This means he has a way of inspiring other slaves to fight and die for him with no questions. Furthermore he has the ability to convince other slaves that escaping their fate is always worthwhile, causing many a slave revolt/mutiny.
Biography: Dé was born in a little village on the coast of Africa, modern day Ivory Coast. The village was called Humtah and it was all he knew. His people were a simple kind, content with their lot in life. Dé was a big child and a very good fighter and his father encouraged him to build up his muscles. His first job in the village was helping build home and buildings around the village. This helped build up his muscles as well as his training programme. When he was 12 he went out hunting with his father and caught himself a deer. For his first hunt it was impressive. After a few years he was a regular huntsmen and was bringing in some of the finest meats the village. When he was 16 his village was raided by a nearby warlord. Most of their cattle was killed, in a response Dé organised an attack in which they would steal back the cattle they had lost. It was a total success after Dé was able to take on a farm’s guards single handidly. He returned to his village a true man and was married too the village chiefs daughter. Life was very good for Dé. He found However all of that changed when the white man came.
His village was burnt to the ground and every strong man was taken, bound and forced to watch their families killed before they were loaded onto a large dark ship to be sold at the markets in America. The journey was long and hard and Dé experienced beatings and suffered humiliation he could never forget however it made his resolve stronger. Around 3 quarters of the way through the journey Dé had become fast friends of the slaves he did not know and had found out that there was almost 10 times the number of slaves than there was crewmen. He decided that enough was enough, there would be no slavery for himself or his fellow slaves. One night during a routine inspection the slaves were able to grab one of the guards and break his neck. Stealing the keys they began to silently move through the ship killing guards and freeing more and more slaves until almost all of them were free below the decks. Then they waited, when another guard came down to check on those below deck the slaves made their move. Rushing from below they swarmed the ship, killing captors and sailors with their bare hands as well as the few cutlass’ they had stolen of the men they had already killed. Finally , when they had taken the ship, they came to the captains cabin. Dé himself took the man’s sword and sliced his head clean off before hanging it from the mast. The final part of the journey turned Dé from a slave to a freeman and, after a vote, captain of the ship. Deciding that the large lumbering vessal was not to his liking he decided that they would make port anywhere where they would not be immediately placed under lock and key again. A small port near Tortuga called ‘Sleepy Hollow’ was the ideal destination. Once docked Dé made contact with a white man he met in the tavern. The man would go with part of his crew to Tortuga and sell the ship. He would receive 5% of the money and use the rest too buy a faster more fitting ship for the purpose he had in mind. In the morning he watched the ship and 50 of his men sail away. Only a week and a half later a new ship returned with all 50 of his men as well as the white man he had sent. The white man, Edward Galls, was an experienced navigator and had been part of the Royal British Navy however a misunderstanding had left him dishonourably discharged and stuck in Sleepy Hollow. In exchange for a fair part of the loot he offered to be their navigator. Dé was suspicious but trusted the man. They soon became fast friends. The ship he returned with was a fine one. A used Frigate Dé christened ‘The Howler Monkey’, it had been in service for a number of years to the Spanish yet after a storm it was abandoned. A group of scavengers salvaged the ship and brought it to Tortuga for repairs. Now Edward had bought it along with a set of cannons and supplies needed. Dé now sails the carrebian, freeing slaves from their bonds and raiding plantations. Sleepy Hollow is now used as hi base and has turned from a ghost town into a very profitable port due to the sugar and tobacco he has stolen. However Dé does not see himself as a criminal, he is simply freeing those imprisoned and giving them what they have worked for. When his crew is full all the slaves are freed in Sleepy Hollow along with a share of the goods stolen when they were freed
Likes: Freedom, rum, other slaves gambling and fairness.
Dislikes: Slavers, those in authority, people telling him what to do and thise who assume he is a slave.
Family: None that are left alive. They were butchered by a slavers company when they attacked his village.
Weapons:
2 Large cutlasses, one from each of the slaver captains he has killed, so far. (He wants a lot more)
A belt with 4 pistols on.
The hunting knife he was given when he turned into a man.
Miscellaneous: Very well built and tough however his seamanship needs improving and so he normally delegates jobs such as navigating to Edward.

Name: Eamon Hatcher
Nickname: Mr. Hatcher
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Maebh Brannagh
Allegiance Faction: HMS Strumpet
Role: First Officer on HMS Strumpet
Personality: As the Maebh’s first officer, Eamon is in charge of the day to day activities. A professional demeanor and dedication to perfection makes him very skilled at getting things done and keeps the ship in top shape. However, this professional attitude can sometimes give way to Eamon’s sense of humor. He is known to make jokes with the crew, even after having disciplined them.
When Eamon drinks, it’s usually a lot. He tries to avoid it when with the crew on shore, in case someone needs backup. However, from time to time, Eamon will enjoy some drinks and will usually end up singing at the top of his lungs late into the night.
Loyalty is hard earned with Eamon. He trusts very few people and is always watching his back. While this distrust of other people makes him very unpopular outside of the ship’s crew, he is completely loyal to the crew and his captain. He would gladly give his life for any of the crew but would gladly kill anyone, including the crew, for Maebh.
He is a fierce fighter, and skilled in hand to hand combat. He enjoys fighting pirates and his hatred of them is only matched by his hatred for the English. When going into battle he wears 6 pistols which after firing he often uses as a weapons, along with the pistols he will wield two cutlasses. He can be seen howling and screaming in the heat of battle as he cuts through his enemies. The heat of battle has, however, been known to get to him. He sometimes gets carried away and needs to be held back by the crew.
Biography: Eamon was born on the Irish Coast, the third of five childen, with 2 older brothers and 2 younger sisters. He grew up in a fishing village and practically lived on different ships. He would often go on trips with his father and two brothers. When he was 11 years old his father and brothers went on a fishing trip, Eamon had fallen ill and was left behind. Days later, the ship was attacked by pirates. Everyone on board was killed.
When he was 18, the English arrived in his village. English soldiers went door to door and gathered all of the people of the village. They claimed that the people of the village were sheltering and supplying “enemies of the crown.” The English soldiers tried to have their way with his sisters, and his mother fought back and was murdered. His sisters were kidnapped and disappeared. They turned up dead in London years later.
Eamon has spent the last several years on the Strumpet hunting and killing pirates under the command of Maebh.

I was just about to ask the same question. When will character approval and first posts be made.
GM
I'm working on reading through everyone's CS right now
GM
Okay, I don't see a problem with anyone's character, (with one exception. Feed, could you please elaborate on what you put on Tyraxor's enhanced ability? I don't quite understand it.) so go ahead and post it in the character bin. Also, I'm thinking that we're not going to accept any more captains for now, until we get more crew members at least for the time being.
