Character Profiles:

Kya Katsumi

Gemma (Jem-uh) Branley

I am a treasure hunter.

‡ People call me Gemma or Gem.
‡ I am 23 years old.
‡ I am female.

‡ My story;

Gemma's mother died at childbirth, so she grew up with her father. Her father was a pirate, and although a bloody mean one, he always tried to protect her from the awful sights seen in the life of a pirate, sending her to her cabin during ship raids, and leaving her aboard when they pilliaged towns. Up until her teen years, he passed her off as his son, knowing a woman at sea was a bad omen. When she began developing, she was abandoned at Tortuga. Her mission now is to find treasures before the pirates do, proving them daft for believing such conspiracy and abandoning her.

Kya Katsumi

Human form:

Azaela

I am a mermaid.

‡ People call me Azaela, Zae or Zaela.
‡ I am 22 years old.
‡ I am female.
‡ I can transform between mermaid and human, control water and ocean animals among other small things. But, I can only use my magic to an extent and only while I'm wearing my tiny shell pendant necklass.

‡ My story;

Azaela is adventurous, almost too much so. Her father is Poseidon, ruler of the seas, but much like any ruler in a vast area, there are few things he cannot oversee and control. She has been forbid to have any contact with humans as her father believes they are only trouble, but that only fuels her desire to see them. She often sits upon rocks or in coves and sings to draw ships to her so that she can get closer looks at what they carry, as her voice entrances the humans. She will also often follow a ship or approach an anchored ship in curiosity which can be dangerous but she doesn't care. Rarely she will travel to shore and transform into her human legs to explore. Her father often worries as she is the princess of the sea and knows all too much about it and it's treasures and fears her value to those who wish to claim the ocean and/or it's treasures. She wears a small shell pendant that holds her magic.

Smores

Talon Largos

I am Captain of my pirate ship.

‡ People call me Captain.
‡ I am significantly older then any regular man or woman.
‡ I am Male.
‡ I am a dark individual. I use many forbidden techniques to avoid death, illness and aging. My dark arts present me with a great array of power.

The catch? The spirits are a vengeful, spiteful bunch. And I live under their thumb, so to speak.

‡ My story;

I was born a long time ago in a very small village, with very strong magical beliefs and roots. My mother was a talented sorceress who wanted to live forever and refused to relinquish her dark powers and knowledge she had amassed.

When I was still a child my mother attempted to use me in a ceremony to bring her the longevity that she yearned for - but the spirits turned on her for attempting to sacrifice her only son.

I was in turn given her dark powers and left with the books she spent so long studying. The books she spent her life obsessing over.

Though the spirits are cruel. They left me with white hair that would serve as a reminder of the moonlight my mother tried to sacrifice me under - and an obligation and pact I must upkeep for my mothers sins. Yet I see it as a reminder that the spirits are a powerful, ever watching prison keeper of sorts. One whose chains I find much to tight.

I differ from my mother in that way. I like to think I am progress to her talents and to her desires. Unlike her I am content with living forever with constant - and time consuming rituals.

My true desire is to free myself of this horrendous bond I share with the spirits. To be free of any repercussions of the magics I choose to cast.

I travel as a pirate in search of books and scrolls - amulets and trinkets that may assist me. Knowledge from foreign lands, anything to assist me. When I find them, I exert my pirate title and take them.

I know not of my future, or of what the spirits think of me - but I will not abandon my quest.

As they say, like mother - like son.

Death_to_the_reaper

Blue Eyed Belle

I am The Cook for Devil's Dream.

‡ People call me Belle or Blue.
‡ I am 21 years old.
‡ I am female.
‡ I can cook and tend to wounds.

‡ My story;

Belle does not like to talk about her past. She does speak of her father, a wealthy merchant. Her mother died giving birth to Rel. The only family she has is her brother.

She likes to cook, read, and observe the sea. Her dislikes are fighting, treating injuries, and people insulting her food.

There is a scar over her left eye from a previous raid.

Belle's only mission is to serve her captain and protect her brother.

Death_to_the_reaper

Aurelio

I am The Cabin boy for Devil's Dream.

‡ People call me Rel or Boy.
‡ I am 14 years old.
‡ I am male.
‡ I can tie knots and read.

‡ My story;

He only knows that Belle is the only family he has left. But he respects the captain as a father figure since his memory of before the captain is hazy.

Rel’s mission is to serve his captain and grow stronger to protect his sister from harm. He was only 6 years-old when the captain brought them aboard his ship. Belle taught him how to read and told him to serve the captain as best as he could.

He likes watching the ocean, reading, and learning about being a pirate. His dislikes are storms, people making fun of him, and men touching his sister.

((They are part elves. His eyes are also blue.))

Kry

Ryek Le'Raux

I am Captain of the ship, Devil's Dream..

‡ People call me Captain or Ryek.
‡ I am 35 years old.
‡ I am male.

‡ My story;

Ryek Le'Raux has been captain of the ship "Devil's Dream" for well over 10 years. Often he is reffered to as the Sea Demon. Not much is known about Ryek's past, as he refuses to share such information. He is very agile, very good swordsman and very good with his pistol. He often takes prisoners, always pillages other ships if he thinks they're rich enough to bother with. Enjoys chasing mermaids and hunting after other mythical creatures.

The "Devil's Dream" is one of very few ships that can honestly be called, the fastest ship to ever sail the high seas. She's a dark grey ship, with sails as white as snow, the jolly roger is always flown atop her main mast. She's a big ship, but not too big. She's armed with cannons, but still retains her agility in the water. Sometimes she moves as if alive and Ryek often admits that he lets the ship choose her own way.

PapillonCameo

Verity DelaLuna

I am An adventurer, a wandering knight, upon a constant quest for truth!.

‡ People call me Verity.
‡ I am 19 years old.
‡ I am female.

‡ My story;

I was just a peasant girl, a mere ten years old, when troubles began brewing in the land. But long before that I saw the injustice in my own village, and decided to find a way to set things to right.

After finding a way to the palace grounds I somehow managed to pass myself off as a noble, much more then I truly was. By the time my knightly training finished a year ago I had proven myself worthy of the title despite the fact that my lineage was less then true.

Now I find myself in deep trouble because of a precious treasure I carry. Stowing away on a pirate ship wasn't the best of ideas, but it was the safest way to get from point A to B without suspicion.

AmaniIshtar

Mei-Lein

I am an orient princess.

‡ People call me Mei-Lein.
‡ I am 23 years old.
‡ I am female.
‡ I can do the normal womanly things, and more. Most notably though is my slight priestess ability that allows me to heal, shield and add a few protections to people.

‡ My story;

I do not consider myself better than my fellow sisters, maybe more privileged, but certainly not better. I grew up in a sizable home and at least the second best of everything. Not because we couldn’t afford the best, no. It was because my father, as one of the most profitable merchants of the import/export business on land and sea knew that things could go bad and we could lose everything. My mother on the other hand, she is the town’s priestess. Everyone expected me to follow in her footsteps, but it was not to be as I have very little of my mother’s holy gift. And that’s fine by me; I much prefer being beside my father reading charts, running numbers and learning how to run a ship. Soon it is to be lost to me forever, for my father has offered my hand in marriage to one of his business partners in the West.

My Likes; The ocean, flowers, rain, exploring.
My Dislikes; Thunder, fire, killing, being tied down.

~*~*~*~

AmaniIshtar

Yuki

I am a merman
.

‡ People call me Yuki.
‡ I am 23 years old.
‡ I am male.
‡ I can change between merman and human, control water, create ice and ice forms, control some sea creatures, though typically the large predator types(ie whales, seals, sealions, etc). Much of my power and control is at its best when I wear my silver wristband.

‡ My story;

I am a merman prince from the colder regions, betrothed to Lady Azaela. It is actually the hope of her father that marriage to me will calm her and quell her desire to explore more than her region. I do not agree. I personally like Zae’s adventurous personality. I have been asked by her father to find her and bring her home. Something I’m only inclined to take as much time as possible to accomplish so I can truly get to know my bride-to-be.

My Likes; Freedom, swimming, music, collecting strange things.
My Dislikes; Told what to do, being caged, whirlpools, confrontations.

INSERT Angelo

Jacob Blackburn

I am an English magician and gentlemen, though I do possess Faerie blood.

‡ People call me Jacob or, among colleagues, Blackburn.
‡ I am 20 years old.
‡ I am male.
‡ I can summon forth Faerie spirits to perform deeds in exchange for something, though I can also perform my own magic as well.

‡ My story;

Born the illegitimate, though accepted, child to a rich noble family, Jacob had his life made. He grew up shooting, hunting, and learning all of the countless other abilities and knowledge that a gentleman was supposed to possess. Yet, none of these various hobbies ever meant much to him. While he enjoyed them, they were not something that he felt particularly attracted to as a hobby. Until he found magic that is. His uncle, a theoretical magician, had come by on his way back from an auction, and was showing off one of his new books. Of course, this piqued the nine-year old's curiosity, and he ended up sneaking the book so that he could read it. At first his uncle had been furious, but his mood turned to radiant joy when he discovered that Jacob could, in fact, perform the magic.

His uncle proceeded to lend him the book, as well as several others. Thus, his knowledge and ability grew, though it was far from what one would call disciplined. Truly, most of his discoveries came about by mistake, and not of his own purposeful intent. This was precisely how he was able to summon his first Faerie, whom he ordered to teach him about magic. The Faerie, known as Ventus, agreed, setting the conditions himself because the child hadn't. Every night, Jacob vanished to the world of Faerie where he was instructed in the ways of magic and Faerie life. This is the primary reason that the Faeries don't mind helping him at all; they consider him one of their own.

Seven years later, Jacob took the society of London, and the whole of England, by storm. With his amiable personality and status as England's only practical magician, he was catapulted to the pinnacle of society. Ministers came frequently to ask his assistance in dealing with various projects for the betterment of England, such as removing floods, ceasing droughts, etc. A book he found which mentions several magical artifacts prompted him to leave and go searching for it off in the West, and so he joined a ship, though rather suddenly.

Possessing a warm, mischievous personality, Jacob often leaves a positive impression on people. In other words, it's hard to hate him, what with his ironic smiles and friendly eyes. Of course, he does possess a bit of arrogance, being England's only magician and all, though he has heard that there are others elsewhere in the world.

maidenroseheart

Mindy

I am a stranded French girl .

‡ People call me Mindy.
‡ I am 18 years old.
‡ I am female.
‡ I can fight with a sword with incredible speed. This speed is also seen in my ability to sprint and climb.

‡ My story;

I was born and raised in an aristocratic home until the age of 7. I had amazing tutors and a comfortable lifestyle. Then one night my mother quietly took me and boarded a ship with our family's treasure. We lived at sea for several years, avoiding places my family might look. In a horrible storm, our ship was wrecked on a coral reef near an island. Many died over the next few years, including my mother. I alone am left, guardian of this uncharted isle with my family's treasure hidden in a secluded cave. I am full of questions as to why we ran away from home that night. I have no purpose in life except to continue hiding and protecting the treasure. I have a sword that I train with daily. I patrol the island several times a day and keep an eye out for ships. What I will do if anyone ever comes is beyond me as I am actually really nervous around people I don't know. I am scared of loud noises like guns and cower during storms. I'm fond of music though and can be lured to a calmer frame of mind with it.

maidenroseheart

Edward

I am Monk - ex-assassin.

‡ People call me Father.
‡ I am 35 years old.
‡ I am male.
‡ I can throw knives with deadly accuracy. Give me anything sharp and I can cause damage. My strength is my speed. My weakness is my conscience.

‡ My story;

My story begins at a young age. Taken in by the Church, I was trained to be an assassin for the holy order. Told I was doing the work of God, I caused a lot of pain and death. When I felt that corruption instead of God was leading me, I left. Ever since I have been trying to atone for my sins by caring for an unwanted village on an uncharted island. This place has a secret though. The crypt below my monastery holds a precious treasure. I feel it belongs to the people who have lived here for centuries. Should they ever need it, they will have it. The poor receive aid from the monastery, and this is the source. Love helping others, but am not certain I could ever again take a life.

Graxdon

Commodore Malcolm Stanforth

I am Commodore of the Queen's Navy .

‡ People call me the Black Swordsman, the Hangman, Commodore Black Sails.
‡ I am 34 years old.
‡ I am male.
‡ I can best any man, woman, or creature with a blade.

‡ My story;

I was the son of a local blacksmith of a port town when it was attacked by a band of pirates. I was 14 years old when everyone I knew was slaughtered and the town was pillaged and burned. I was the only survivor. I have since spent my entire life dedicated to exterminating piracy, training on ships until I was old enough to enlist in the Navy. I rose through the ranks, proving myself time and again until I eventually made Captain. After that, I carved a reputation as the most unforgiving naval officer sailing the sea, even once managing to take on a trio of pirate ships with my single ship and destroying them, taking the survivors and hanging them from the mast frame when the brig was too full. Before long, I was given a lordship and made a commodore, but I remain active on these oceans, my black blade at my side as I wage a war against privateers, ships of enemy nations, and especially pirates, not burdening myself with caring for a whole fleet, instead keeping command of only my single vessel, the Blackened Star.

Angelo

Lucy Belle Soltwo

I am human. I think anyway.

‡ People call me Lucy.
‡ I am 13 years old.
‡ I am female.
‡ I can produce light through my bioluminescence and then manipulate that light, and only that light, through photokinesis.

‡ My story;

Lucy grew up like any other middle class child in England, which is to say that she learned to sew and cook and do all of the other things that women needed to maintain a household, though her education wasn’t very far along when the signs showed up. One night, she woke up to see that her whole body was glowing, which made her freak out. Her parents were also at a loss, yet the next day, it was gone. So the family tried to keep it under wraps, never really understanding that the reason it seemed gone during the day was because it was muted by the sunlight.

As her problem continued, they got more and more distant from each other, until one day it accelerated. Her snotty cousin was annoying her, so she put her hand up to get him to stop and ended up blasting him in the chest, though he was relatively unharmed. For her parents though, that was the last straw. They put her on a ship and told the captain to take her away. It was all fine and dandy until the crew discovered her abilities, which resulted in their marooning her on an island with the belief that she was possessed or involved with Lucifer somehow.

At first, she almost starved to death. It was only her finding fruit that kept her alive as she learned how to better control her powers. Now she uses them to hunt, killing animals with a shot before cleaning them and cooking them, though it took her awhile to figure out the first part. She sewed her own clothes from the leaves in the forest and figured out how to make a tent and basic utensils.

Now though, she’s confused. In the two years that she’s been on the island, no one has come by. Until a ship crashed. Most of the people perished, but one survived. Her actions intrigue Lucy greatly, but the petite girl is too shy to make contact, so she just follows and watches.

I want to join your rp.... but I Don't know what to make....

Hmmm. Well, I have a mermaid and a female treasure hunter, who I forgot to add to the OCC... *dissapears to add her*

You can make anyone you think might be interesting though. I've gotten a few other entries, but sadly they weren't accepted for reasons I'll keep to myself lol :sweat:

I love the way you RP, I'm confident that whatever you come up with will be awesome. :yes: Maybe a captain of some sort?

I just want to make a badass pirate guy. You know, drink rum, fuck all the women... that shit. xD

Lol that's exactly what a pirate would do! You'd be so in ;)

I'm about to make a charrie. :3

Sounds good Roka :)

Our 1X1 needs my attention I know, I've been super busy. If I don't get to it tomorrow, I will on Monday for sure. Things should slow down for me by then.

<3

I dont know if this is still a go... as most of the Role Plays I submit too now are not.
But I submitted anyways - this is the 3rd Pirate Rp Ive gone for Haha.

So if this is closed, well... Atleast I have 3 different Pirates I can use at some time or another. Hopefully. Haha.

Sorry if its closed - I have become daft, and can no longer tell anymore >.<"

You know what Smores:, it's not closed, it never actually opened! :sweat: The few people who showed interest never ended up making profiles. Plus, I created it in a bad time of year for RP, apparently. If you'd like, you and I can start posting, I'll make a banner for it in my sig, and refer some of my friends and we'll see if we can't get this boat on the water in the next day or so! ;)

-wriggles and nibbles on Ryek- Omnomnom he's like the best pirate ever. I really should play him more than I do. He definitely doesn't get enough 'screen time' lol.

-nibbles on Kya as well- omnomnomnomnom! <3

Lol Kry! I know, our other pirate RP was a flop, too bad, I loved Ryek. But yay for a new better pirate RP that he can be awesome in! I'm sure this one will stay afloat with more characters. No pun intended. :P

It might be a good idea to pm people and let them know we've started, if they don't already know.

Whenever I accept profiles I let them know they can start. Unfortunately I haven't even heard from Smores since I received the profile, so I'm not sure if that one is even a go. Death_to_the_reaper: I'll ping her in case she doesn't know. Other than that, we're waiting for Pap to create her character and anyone else who wants to join. Maybe Amani? But I don't think she even knows about the RP, she's been really busy I think.

Ah. okies. -snuggles and cuddles-

Kya Katsumi: Well that sounds excellent. :)
Im looking forward to helping get this thing started - as I kinda want to be in it and all. Haha

And Kry is a wholesome Rp'er on top of that. So fantastic :P

Well we have kinda already started posting. -pokes Smores gently- so you should get to posting too. heh

and...really I'm not wholesome or fantastic. >.>;;;

Kya moved the rp so here's the new link: A Pirate's Life For Me

So am I allowed to post?

Yea. the rp has started.

Okay. Posted for Belle and Rel. I hope it's okay.

It's good. I'm gonna wait for Kya to post before I do.

I'm replying now!

Not sure what to post.

Well the crew would be in a flurry, that's the term right? :sweat: Lol if I were you, I'd come out of my cabin to see what the commotion is all about. :yes:

I want to roleplaayyy. I can't believe I disappeared from RP for over a month. Now that I'm back, it's like I'm trying to make up for lost time or something lol.

Sighhh. I guess we're really just waiting to see what Smores: will do. And hopefully Reaper will come out and join the fun ;)

Sorry - Ill be back in a few hours to post! Just have an interview to be at :$
I promise Ill post as soon as I can! Sorry again!

Ill make it great I swear! :D
