A Pirate's Life for Me! (open, accepting, started)

[RumJackPirate]

The life of a pirate can be a glorious one. If you play your cards right.

During the golden age of Piracy, there were three renowned crews, all of them headed by the best pirates in the business... if you could call piracy a business... Anyway, these three crews were all after the same treasure; located on the uncharted Isle of Lhreah, there lies a chest full of the best riches, and, the very possibility of immortality, every Pirate's dream. Who will get to it first? Well, that dpends on the strength and cunning of each crew. AND, their ability to outrun the naval forces.

Yes, the Navy. The bane of all pirates existence. The Navy's strongest are now gathered under one man, who aims to bring these no good pirate crews in, and, become a legend amongst the naval forces, as well as the world alike.

Who will be the winner of the grand treasure? Who will be captured by the naval forces? Come aboard and find out!

A little more about this realm.

Although it's similar to our world of pirates, these folks are a little bit different. Everyone has a special ability. They may be good at magic, or communicating with animals. They may even be a good engineer with the weaponry available at the time.

The three captains, though rivals, are all very good friends. So when they find out the Navy is coming for their heads, as well as the treasure, they may meet up on Sennebi Island to hold a brief council... and then of course see who can find the treasure first.

RULES

Yes, even pirates had a code of ethics to follow. This roleplay has one too!

1. NO God modding. Yes, we have ranks as pirates, such as captains, first mates, and whatnot. However, as roleplayers, we must treat each other equal.
2. No cybering. Romance is encouraged if you wish it, however, follow gaia's TOS which includes no cybering.
3. Post often! I will give you one week of inactivity without notice before sending you a pm to warn you that you will be kicked form the rp. If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time, please let me know so that way I can refrain from using this rule on you.
4. Please read all rules thoroughly.
5. I would love it if you would use third person format and proper grammar. No text talk, make your posts comprehendable. We all get writers block, so the occasional one liner is okay... just don't make a habit of it, savvy?
6. When posting in format, use at least your character's name and their picture. I like to know who I am communicating with. Any other format styles are up to you, whether you wish to add colors, borders, quotes, etc... all up to you on that part.
7. Use brackets or parentheses for OOC stuff.
8. PM Your profiles to me. Titled; Treasure. (EVEN if you wish to be a naval officer) I will respond to your application as quick as I can. I am on gaia a lot, though usually through my phone. When I get home, I generally am on my laptop, so I will be able to respond to your application smile
9. I can add/take away rules, and if I do so, I will make an announcement and post them in red.

Thank you for all your patience! Hope to see you soon! Up next: Positions and Profiles!

Alright, we are starting! POST WHEN READYYYY

[RumJackPirate]

It was a cloudy morning on the sea. The dark cherrywood ship that was the Fleetwolf bobbed gently on the waves. The captain of this ship was at its helm, leaning on the railing and watching the sun come up. They were about a weeks sailing ahead of the Navy, and for good reason, too. The crew of this pirate ship was in search of the Grand Treasure. They would be rich beyond their wildest dreams, and lead a good and simple life. This Captain was aware that other pirate ships were searching for the same treasure. She knew that the Invius would be headed toward the uncharted island as well.

"Well, me darlins," came her smooth as silk voice as she spoke to no one in particular, " we will just have to beat them to it!" She chuckled, turning on her heel and heading toward the middle of the deck.

Yes, this was none other than Captain Aarinne Trodaire.

[MrArcaneBlack]

The swaying of the Fleetwolf, came as no surprise to the blonde young man as he roused himself from the land of Morpheus. Indeed, he had been at sea for so long it would have been more startling if he awoke to stillness and silence as opposed to the movement and the sound of waves and sea birds that he awoke to now.

Dressing and equipping himself, the once sleepy man now looks every bit a pirate. Drew Jackson is his name, but all that know him call him Crowfoot, second in command on the great ship Fleetwolf, under the pirating excellence of Captain Trodaire.

Grabbing a bottle of grog he heads out of his private quarters, and heads topside. He looks off the ship and stares into the morning clouds and notes the current lack of strong winds.

"Hello Cap'n, how are we handlin' in this little breeze? Are we going to run into the Navy if this weather be persistin'?"

[Sweets-chan]

Briony had awoken before dawn, as was her way. She had to be up and have the morning meal prepared when the crew woke up. She had finished cooking a half hour before and was now straddling the bowspirit. Her long red scarf shifted as the ship swayed and her legs swung from side to side as she watched the sunrise. Most the crew thought she was crazy. One violent swell could send her tumbling.

Sounds of the awakening crew sounded behind as she took a swig from her bottle of rum.
"Should be getting back..." She muttered to herself. She had to serve the food. Grasping the rigging, Briony yanked herself up and quickly slid back onto the deck. She nodded to her captain and Crowfoot before slipping into the kitchens. She removed the salted...meat...from it's storage and set it out. Then she retrieved the gruel she had made earlier. Since they had been at sea for sometime their fresh food was out. She had been serving the same thing for quite some time. She would have to bring that up to the captain. She paused for a moment then clanged the breakfast bell.

[RumJackPirate]

Arinne smiled at Crowfoot as he walked toward her, noting the fact that the winds were dwindling. A ghost of a smile flashed her lips as she replied to his query. "Pffaw, do you forget mate?" She asked as she raised her hand toward her lips and blew gently. Suddenly a breeze picked up, and the ship began to lurch forward, a little faster than it was before. "I control elements. all night I had the ship pushing for'ard via the water. And now, a breeze to aid us." She chuckled.

The captain looked up as the breakfast bell sounded. "Ah, that reminds me. We reach Port Kalain this afternoon. There we must restock and resupply everythin." She said to none in particular. The lass pulled a bottle of rum from under her bright colored waist sash and uncorked it, taking a large mouthfull. "Aha! Nothin like good rum or grog to warm the cockles of your 'eart, eh?" She sneered before swiping a hand across her lips and heading toward the mess hall.

"Aye, Cap'n, I forget even the simplest of things when I haven't eaten."



Crowfoot, then turns away and starts testing the ropes, but quickly forgets all about them when the smell of Brionys cooking hits nose. With one last stern look at the rigging Crowfoot sets out to claim his own generous portion of breakfast.

Briony always cooks filling meals, but I hope that it's something different today... I hope we get to port soon. I'll have to steal some sugar, I bet Briony could make something great with that!

Crowfoot makes his way toward the sound of the ringing bell.

"Come on, rats! Time to get your food, or ye'll get none at all! Eat it quick and get back to work, we need'n to be gettin to Port Kalain by noon- Cap'ns' orders!"

[Sweets-chan]

Briony's lips curled at the edges as she suddenly saw restocking in the near future. Port Kalain always had decent supplies.

The crew began filing past with their bowls. She scooped at large spoonful into each bowl and tossed the salted meat on top of the gruel, much to the dismay of the crew. One particularly ungrateful fellow received a swat on the head with Briony's spoon. When Crowfoot and the captain walked past she waved them down.

"Care to eat with me in my kitchen?" She asked quietly. She hadn't offered them their food yet for there was a treat for them in her private chambers, which were off to the side of the cooking area.

[MrArcaneBlack]

Walking down into the galley, Crowfoot hears Briony's call.
"Aye, Briony, to that invitation I welcome with famished thanks!

Crowfoot sidesteps past the crew and comes up next to Briony, all swagger and smiles.
So lady... Crow whispers low into her ear, What we be havin? I don't want to make the boys jealous, but I won't say no to anything ye have cooked!

Crowfoot slides back against the wall next to Briony, waiting for the Captains answer.

[RumJackPirate]

Arinne smiled as Briony waved them over. "Well, Bri, m'dear. What special treat do ye have for us?" She asked with a grin. The captain stood in between the two of them, hand on her sword hilt.

Cliff shifted his weight, the guitar humming faintly from the breeze as he stepped into the galley. He smirked slightly as he shifted his balance unconsciously, the scimitars clinking musically in their sheaths at his hips under the knee length black jacket he wore over the dark bluish black pants and calf high boots with steel plates on the front of his shins. He wore no shirt beneath the jacket, clearly revealing the odd dark violet tattoo just below his throat that was easily as large around as a half dollar.

"What's up, me lasses? How's thi' fine mornin' going, aye?" he said idly with a strong Irish accent flickering through his voice. He tilted his head, his deep crimson hair falling over his golden orange eyes.
