Yep, you guessed it...another PotC RPG :duh: But in my defence, it's quite a bit different from all the others (though I love them all dearly). I've been toying with the idea in my mind for quite some time, so I'm basically going to throw it out there and see if it floats.
And besides, Pippin told me to, and we all know by now that when Pip says to do something, ye do it. :P

The plot is basically what would happen if Will and Elizabeth's grown children found themselves in the middle of the events of CotBP. This is pretty much for the fun of it, so there's not a whole lot of scripting beyond the existing boundaries of the film (as in, try not to stray too far from the original plot; same story, more characters).

-------------------

~RULES~

1. If you join, please make a point of finishing it out. It's not fair to the other players if one of the main characters just decides to stop posting or is hardly ever on. I'm not asking that you be on 24/7, but try to make it on more than once every few days (or if you can only be on that much, consider playing a minor character with little to do). Obviously absence due to vacations or computer troubles is an exception (assuming you inform the others that you'll be leaving for a bit), but try not to make it a habit.
2. No additional Original Characters in this one, aside from a few extras here and there, which will be asked for when they're needed. The only ones allowed will be the Turner "children," and I already have bios for them.
3. Limit of two characters per individual.
4. Have fun! Just because it's minorly scripted, it doesn't mean we can't embellish a bit here and there (within reason). Play with the character; get a good feel for them. Enjoy finding their little quirks and using them to add flavor to the story. Scripting is by no means intended as a limitation.

------------

--------------------

~BIOS~

Name: Marie Elizabeth Turner Palacios
Age: 25
Personality: Basically, her mother's daughter.
Appearance: Moderately short, thin. Tan, with dark brown hair and equally dark eyes. PICTURE
Background: Oldest of Will and Elizabeth's children. At 18, she married Juan Palacios (not in this RPG or relevant to the story). They have a three-year-old daugther named Anna (also not relevant to the story). She lives in Tortuga with Juan, near her parents' house.
Skills: Negotiation. Not bad with a pistol or sword, either, though she hasn't had much use for either since getting married.


Name: William "Bill" Norrington Turner
Age: 18
Personality: Quiet, reserved. Slow to make bonds, but fiercely loyal to those he is close to. He'd much sooner negotiate than fight.
Apperance: Clean-shaven, with shoulder-length dark brown hair that he keeps pulled back. Dark brown eyes, like his father. PICTURE 1, PICTURE 2
Background: Marie's younger brother. He lives in Tortuga with his brother and parents. Very close with Marie. Good enough friends with his brother, though they've had their fallings-out in the past. His twin brother is Jack.
Skills: Strategy and negotiation. A devil with the sword if provoked, but very slow to fight.


Name: Johnathan "Jack" Weatherby Turner
Age: 18
Personality: The self-proclaimed "evil twin." Often impulsive and occasionally selfish, though he can think of others if he takes the time to. Very much a "ladies' man" around Tortuga, and he knows it. Has a bit of a tendency toward arrogance and complacency. Act now, think later.
Appearance: Almost identical to his brother, but with green eyes and lighter hair like his mother's. Also has a short goatee and shoulder-length hair that he prefers to keep loose.PICTURE 1, PICTURE 2
Background: Marie's younger brother. He lives in Tortuga with his brother and parents. A bit more of a loner in the family, but he gets along well enough with his siblings and parents. He wants to sail on the Black Pearl, but his parents forbade him. His twin brother is Bill.
Skills: Anything that can cut, be thrown, or explode, preferably all three. He's had his share of tavern fights and sports the scars to prove it. He can strategize if he has to, but he much prefers action to contemplation.
--------------------

I'll start us out as soon as we have most of the roles filled

((Sirius, I'm not sure what constitutes "too much," but I make no promises. I don't want anyone getting way ahead of the group or anything, but I'm not going to limit everyone to something like two posts a day. If you're afraid you can't keep up, I suggest you don't join. Also, please use some indication that you're speaking out-of-character. My way of indicating it is a double set of parethesis around my OOC comments.

Aeara, thanks very much! I'm going to make a universal post to get us started as soon as I get back from doing Drivers' Ed, 'kay? *goes off grumbling about bloody Drivers' Ed*))
