Quote

Name: Jay

Position on ship: Captain, and feel free to make a first mate and second and such.

History (expirience/life story): Originally born as a poor shoemaker, his mother wanted him to have nothing to do with sailing, as it was dangerous. However he took to the sea when he turned 20 after hearing a story of Gold out west. His ship made it safely to the Caribbean, but he was framed by crew members and sentenced to death. He ran away, and lived in hiding, but couldn’t stay away from the sea. He joined a pirates crew as no other ship would allow him. After going, he slowly worked his position until he took this ship from its previous Captain, one of great reputation. He has fought in many battles, including against the British navy. He won a particularly famous bout against three ships at once. He also has amassed much gold buried in a very small island that only he know where is. 

Special skill: He is very proficient with a pistol, sword, and sleight of hand. 

 

The Captain stared at this small, clouded mirror. The dark spot on his hand still stained his skin noticeably. He realized that no matter how much scrubbing he did, it probably wouldn’t come me off. That would defeat its purpose. He wondered why he had been targeted, although he had a suspicion… Jay straightened his coat and walked out if his room to see the crew. It was clear and sunny. Good wind, nice waters. It should’ve been a great day.

Definitely don’t have pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack playing.

"Yes sir!" Pol said, puffing up his chest and saluting, then turning and sprinting towards the galley, barging through the various sailors.

You can veto any of this.

I probably won't have much time to be on this.

The Cabin Boy scrubbed the deck thoughtfully. He had finally done it. He had become a sailor, and was going to become the best gosh darn sailor you'd ever see. But he also enjoyed being a Cabin Boy.

Pol huffed out a long breath. This was not what pirates were supposed to do. He started scrubbing.

Jay called for Bill. They needed to talk. The map may have been faulty. If it was, there would be very bad consequences.

Jim stood at the helm of the ship, staring off into the horizon. this didn't mean he wasn't paying attention, every few minutes he checked his compass and map to ensure that the ship was still on course. but his job didn't require much thought and it gave him plenty of time to watch the waves crash across the sea, birds flying among the clouds and smell the salty ocean air.

“Of course we are. I know exactly where we are, where we’re going and when we’ll get there.” Jim replies. He’s offended that someone would doubt hit abilities. He had steered this ship for a long time and didn’t like burning questioned. “Why do you ask?”

Name: Merinn
Position on ship (I.e. cook): Treasurer (?) / treasure expert / Guy who looks at what you stole and tells you exactly how much it's worth (what do you call that?) / other general pirate business 

History (expirience/life story): Merinn was born to a wealthy family in London, and was apprenticed to a very famous jewelry company at a young age. He spent over ten years there, learning about jewel and precious metal identification, metallurgy, jewelry making and other such things. He completely fell in love with it all.

The jewels, that is, not the job. 

One day, after deciding it would be fun, Merinn robbed the company silly, taking every scrap of precious metal with him. Then he ran off into the sunset.

He joined a pirate crew because he thought it would be fun and he likes shiny things.

Special skill: "Merinn no." "MERINN YES." , generally morally questionable , extremely loyal until he isn't.

Merinn was leaning against the banister looking at the sea, and humming to himself.

“The map. We should have reached the island but now.” He held out an old faded map. He pointed at an tiny island that seemed around where they were.

Bill inspected the map. “Where did you get this map? It does seem outdated. I suggest we ask our navigator why we haven’t arrived.”

Just now, Ati16 said:

“I…you can’t tell you I really am sorry.” He had gotten it from the same man who had given him the dark blob on his palm. The Captain fidgeted. “I need to show you something.” He held out his hand. He held out the black spot.
