I can stick around 'til then. I hope your computer isn't badly damaged.

Sailing the Seven Seas

We've been hanging around for over a week. If this doesn't start soon, I'm going to have to leave. Sorry.

Yay! The unicorns are gone!

Batman's gotta stay as captain, or I'm out of a job.

Sailing the Seven Seas

So, when do we start?

Sailing the Seven Seas

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.)
Miscellaneous:

Hey Batman! Do you have any crewman slots open? I'd like to be a navigator.
