Okay, so this is a pirate/vampire roleplay. The vampires are pirates. There are also normal pirates, and normal people. So... yeah, onto the good stuff. =)
The Plot: Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me. Yes, indeed; or that is what they thought before pirates were no longer at the top of the food chain. Pirate ships are mysteriously disappearing, and those who saw members of their crew have warned others. 'A demon ship lurks these waters. It is not a normal pirate ship.' Some have even said that they have seen this ship. 'It has wings of a bat. They say the captain is the devil.' What happens when something unbelievable enters the waters? Something thought to be only a myth; vampires. Though they do not call themselves vampires or pirates, but… vampirates.
The year is 1860. =)
This is based off of a specific book series... you can brieftly read up on it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demons_of_the_ocean
Okay, and the vampire ship is a little special, and like-- the Captain rings a bell when it is safe to go out onto the deck. Only the Vampirate Captain can go out upon the deck in daylight. It will be kind-of easier to understand when I start to roleplay. My first post shall explain some of that.
The Beginning: The vampirates start out on their ship, they just finished raiding a town and taking hostages. They hostages are to be their meal. Yum... tasty.
The normal group of pirates are on their ship. They just docked at a port and have stopped by at a tavern.
Other people start wherever...

Date of Birth: The citadel of Sighişoara, Transylvania in 1431. No one knows his exact date of birth. Not even Vlad himself.

Eyes: Vlad's eyes are a dark, dark, dark midnight-navy blue. They are easily mistaken for black and are sometimes even called 'charcoal' in color.
Apparel: He is rather fond of red button-up shirts. Over the bright-red shirt, he wears a black vest. He wears a black cloak over his entire outfit everywhere, and only takes it off when he is doing or saying something important. He wears black boots that go up to his knees, with black pants that are tucked into the boots. He wears a very special ring around his left middle-finger. It is the ring that shows his Order. The Order of Dracul - or - The Order of the Dragon. It was given to him by his father.
Weapons: Vlad will use anything that he has on hand at the time. However, he is rather fond of long-swords, daggers and wooden stakes. He carries a ruby-incrested sword sheathed around his hip at all times. He also carries numerous weapons that is hidden somewhere on his person.
Personality: He has a strong personality and a particularly impressive physical appearance. He seems to take pleasure in torturing others, however he is not seen doing such horrid acts in public, besides the occasional impalement. He is very confident, and expects his orders to be carried out without question. He will not hesitate in punishing someone who breaks one of his rules, and he does not hesitate in killing. He loves the feeling that battle brings. He is very much a Captain.
Background/History: Vlad was born in the citadel of Sighişoara, Transylvania in 1431. He was born as the second son to his father Vlad Dracul and his mother Princess Cneajna of Moldavia. Transylvania In the same year as his birth, his father was living in Nuremberg, where he was vested into the Order of the Dragon. At the age of five, young Vlad was also initiated into the Order of the Dragon. He began battle training and soon had became a skilled land-fighter.
Vlad became the Prince of his native land.
It is generally believed that he was killed by a Turkish soldier in battle. That is true.
However, he was excommunicated by the Christian Church and was forced to wander inbetween Heaven and Hell.
He became a vampire.
After becoming a vampire, he took up the life of a pirate. He found his own crew of fellow vampires - some of which, he himself turned and cast off.
He has been living on the sea as a Captain of Vampirates ever since.
He himself built the magnificent ship that has the wings of a bat, and gave the ship a special ability to cloak itself in fog and make it invisible. [/b]

Hm... sounds interesting... I've been wanting to read that series for awhile. I think I'll join, as long as it doesn't go too fast for my busy little scedule. And a chance to play a not-so-old pirate oc of mine that I didn't get to use much.
So, could I take a place on the Diablo? And maybe I'll go ahead and play a captive of the vampirates just for the fun of it...

Hm... I guess my pirate could be the captain...
name: James Bones
age: 25
appereance: Bones has dark brown, unkept hair with some strands of black. Many locks are often in his face, with most of it in a roughly put together pony-tail. He is of average height standing around 5'10". The constant beating of the sea has made his face and voice very weathered, and years working on ships has made his body toned. Many fights have left their scars on his body, such as a cross on his right cheek, and a scar over his left eyes. He also has a burn scar on his left hand, and several others dotting his body.
apparel Bones usually wears any color button up shirt. Usually white. During colder weather he may wear a vest or light jacket over the shirt, but not usually. And with the exception of being in his quarters or a very hot day, Bones wears a brown jacket that goes down to his knees. Along with that he has faded trousers and black leather boots. Variouse belts for variouse weapons. And always on his person is a faded red bandana. It is either on his head, maybe tied around his wrist or hand, or around his neck.
pic: http://emi-hotaru.deviantart.com/art/Pirate-15751407
history: No one knows much of Bones's past. Some say he was the son of an English merchant, others say he was a fisherman framed for murder and ran away from the gallows. But the true story was he was a ship-wright's son for the beginning of his life, learning how to build and mend a ship, as well as how to sail, living in England. Bone's grandfather, a retired soldier, taught him how to shoot a pistol with accuracy and how to weild a blade. Always growing up he seemed drawn to the sea and the freedom it offered.
James would often go and work on fishing ships to earn money around the age of 16. On one of the fishing trips, a pirate ship attacked and he was taken prisioner. Finding the captain an old friend of his father, Bones joined the crew and worked on the Diablo. (if James is captain:) At age 20, and being the first mate, during a battle with a French ship, the captain was killed by a bullet to the heart, making Bones captain of the Diablo.
and heres my captive:
name: Morgan Allington
age: 16
appereance: dark red hair that falls down to her mid back in gentle waves when brushed. She stands around 5'2" and is slender due to malnutrition. She has large sky-blue eyes, high cheekbones, thin lips, and a small chin.
apparel: simple brown and white dress, falling apart riding boots. a small wooden locket around her neck.
history: Morgan was born in a small port town to a poor family. She was the middle of three children of a horse farier and a seamstress. At a young age she worked at a local stable as a stablehand along with her younger sibling while her older sibling became her father's apprentice. Morgan was heading home when the town was attacked by vampirates...
eh, are those alright?

Copied and pasted from my bio page... I'm too lazy to go change anything.

<center>[font=Treasure Map Deadhand] Varianna Korinda Degaldo Pierce (Blackhaven)[/font]
(Vari, Degaldo or VP)</center>

http://i33.tinypic.com/28w5mh.jpg
http://i37.tinypic.com/t0l34y.jpg
Gender: Female
Siblings: One Younger Sister - Keyara Pierce
Parents: Peter Pierce [Father], Maribel Degaldo-Pierce [Mother] (deceased)
Age: 27
Date of Birth: April 27th
Hair: Dark brown, waist length
Eyes: Hazel
Apparel: A red button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, a black corset/vest over the red shirt, a pair of black pants that go down to the knees and black stockings. Her shoes resemble those of the British Navy, with gold buckles and a small heel. Also wears a red bandanna given to her by her now deceased fiancé, Richard.
Personality: Vari doesn't like to be messed with. When she's angry, nobody dares to get in her way. She also enjoys gambling and has a special pair of loaded dice on her person at all times. Vari doesn’t like talking about her past, especially about her fiancé, Richard Chandler, who was killed by Lord Cutler Beckett. She’s more of an “act-now-think-later” person.
Weapons: Varianna's weapons include her trusted sword, her gun, and a dagger decorated with dragons from Singapore.
Background/History: Varianna Korinda Degaldo Pierce was born on April 27th in the Caribbean. Her mother, Maribel Degaldo-Pierce, was a maid and her father, Peter Pierce, was a servant. The living conditions of Vari's family were horrible. Her parents’ incomes were just not enough to support themselves and their daughter. By the time Varianna was two, Peter and Maribel had another daughter named Keyara. Now with four members in the family, it became too clear that Maribel and Peter needed to find new jobs with higher wages or risk not being able to survive.
Varianna was 13 when her mother became sick with influenza. The doctor that came to their house each day only saw Maribel’s condition worsening, until eventually Vari’s mother died from the illness. Her father fell into a terrible depression and became keen on drinking himself to sleep each night, having a habit of passing out in Maribel’s favorite rocking chair. Varianna would always be the one that tried to take care of him and keep the house in order at the same time. Keyara made the decision to run away and never came back again. Peter eventually died in an alcoholic coma and the house was taken by the government in Port Royal.
Now on her own, Varianna gathered her belongings and took to the streets, trying to find a job so she could afford to eat. No one hired her, mostly because of her appearance and the fact she was a young girl and didn’t have many working skills. As a last resort, she began to steal; some bread here, some pork there, until finally it became a habit. The navy never suspected her, although many shopkeepers were wary. Impressed by her own luck, Varianna stole a map from a local cartographer and set her eyes on an island called Tortuga.
For four years, Varianna pondered over the stolen map. Until now, it had never occurred to her to steal a ship, but she was able to, with help from some acquaintances who had also caused mischief. She called the ship the Phoenix after becoming intrigued by the myths of an ancient bird that lived for 500 years, only to set itself aflame and have a new phoenix rise in its place. And after all, it had been a symbol to mark her adulthood; burning her troubling past and creating a new future.
Once the Phoenix entered the port of Tortuga, Varianna immediately gathered a crew of twelve at a tavern called The Spyglass. The adventurous lot raided many homes and stole from various citizens, but due to the lack of protocol in Tortuga, they were never caught. Now that Varianna had a taste of piracy, she began to grow fond of it. Richard Chandler, her first mate, had been the first to give her the nickname Vari; it would stick with her for the rest of her life. It wasn’t long before Richard and Varianna were madly in love; so much so that they were engaged nearly five months after their first meeting. This greatly upset crewmember, Edward Blackhaven, who also had become close to the captain. The rest of the crew was excited to hear the news of a wedding; if everything went according to plan, soon she would be Varianna Chandler.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, when a month later the Phoenix was encountered by the Endeavour, the flagship of the East India Company, captained by Lord Cutler Beckett. Captain Pierce and the crew were taken captive and the Phoenix was destroyed by the Endeavour’s numerous cannons. In a struggle on board the Endeavour, most of the crew of the Phoenix was slaughtered. Among those killed were Richard, shot and killed by a soldier’s bayonet, in front of Varianna’s eyes. In an attempt to escape, Edward Blackhaven and Samantha Selby, two of Vari’s close friends, took her with them as they jumped overboard. The stormy sea engulfed their human chain and sent the three in different directions, never to be seen again.
When Varianna washed up on shore, she found herself on an island with few inhabitants. Among those was Jack Sparrow, who had stopped by to gather supplies [namely rum]. After hearing her story, he allowed her to join his crew. Their friendship was nothing less than rocky and filled with threats. The two bonded a bit and became closer, but Jack still found her to be like a little sister, who could be annoying at times, but someone he could also rely on and trust. For ten years she served under his command before deciding that she wanted to make a name for herself and not be associated with a drunken, yet smart, fool.
Vari left Jack’s crew to start anew; she gained another crew and captained a ship named the Red Raven until she was mutinied upon.
Other Notes: *Vari has a rivalry with her sister Keyara because she abandoned her when they were younger and was taken in by a soldier of the Royal Navy. The feeling is mutual; Keyara has no respect toward her older sister because she chose to turn pirate while she herself is trying to put an end to piracy.
*Vari uses her mother’s maiden name Degaldo when in disguise; she is known as Degaldo around Tortuga in a majority of the taverns.
*Currently she is the Captain of the Sparrow, named for her old time friend, Jack Sparrow
*Vari and Edward Blackhaven were eventually married and had three children together - Ian, Arden and William.

She then moved to New Orleans working as a barmaid in one of the many taverns about the docks and sent most of the money off to her family. It was there that she met the infamous Jean Lafitte, and became completely enthralled with the life he and his brother led. She was taken into their crew for only a short period of time, but with the money she earned her family lived quite well. One day while the crew had made a stop in the Barataria Bay she was set upon by several thieves. Unable to defend herself she was knocked unconscious, only to be found by a vampire who offered her the chance to live through her ordeal. It was at that time she was turned. Although the woman was disappointed with her inability to return to Lafitte's crew she found the vampirates and has sailed the seas ever since.
