Characters-

Name: Isobel Angelique Liasa Roquefort
Age: 17
~Appearance
Hair: Very curly and blonde
Eyes: Green
General: slender and not tall or muscular, but strong. Not extremely pretty but definetely not ugly. Wears a white shirt with bell-cuff sleeves and a red vest, as well as trousers and an old three-cornered hat. She has whip scars across her back.
Personality: Outgoing, though rather secretive, stubborn, knows what she wants and is accustomed to getting it. Opinionated and quick-thinking.
History: At the age of seven Isobel was kidnapped and sold into slavery. She was sold and resold until nobody, not even she, knew who she was, and only she remembered her own name. When she was fourteen she shot, but did not kill, a man who threatened her, and was sold as a galley slave. She escaped three years later and is intensely secretive about her past.

I'll be a privateer too - I'll come up w/ a profile :)

Thanks for joining, everyone! Melda (mind if I call you Melda?), you could be a hostage too, we can have 2. The HMS could use a doctor, if anyone wants to be him.

Here's my bio

Name: Jacob MacNeil
Rank: Captain
Appearance: Shoulder-length brown hair, tanned skin, grey-blue eyes. He's tall and well-built.
Personality: Determined, a fighter and natural leader. He's passionate about the English cause, and is willing to go to great lengths for it.
History: Jacob's father, a sailor, took his son with him on voyages, teaching him about ships. Over several years, Jacob worked his way up from leiutenant to captain of the <i>Steadfast</i>.

Here's a spontaneous privateer bio. We'll see how it goes :)

Name: Caleb McCallum
Age: 27
Appearance: cropped brown-red hair, not overly tall but much stronger than he looks, which is relatively well-built.
Personality: Sly, conniving and a born pirate. He doesn't show much emotion, and is good at frightening people.
History: His father was a privateer before him and he was practically born on the sea, as he never knew his mother. His father told him before he was killed that she died in childbirth.

Sweet! And if y'all want to, you could take another character. We'll get started pretty soon, we'll start shortly after the privateers have left with their hostange and the documents.

*joins*

I'll post a bio tommorrow or so, to give myself a little while to think of a really good one.

I doubt I'll play a doctor, since they don't have nearly enough fighting time, but....I might still be a cellist (since I play that in real life).

One thing about playing Jack as a Privateer - he'd have to be an English Privateer or something, since he doesn't seem to like the French much at all (I can't see him working as a French Privateer).

Personally, I have trouble imagining Jack as a privateer at all, but I agree, he'd definetely be for the English.

Maybe the HMS could meet Jack somehow, and take him on board? If that's ok with you, Pippin!
Welcome, Aerandir!
