Name: Jamison Harrington Nickname: Jamie or James Age: 14
History: At first glance, Jamie is a typical street child, unwashed, course language and a little underfed. However, James is aware that the circumstances he lives in now were not the circumstances of his birth. He was born to Lady Veronica Harrington and was raised in the lap of luxury until shortly after he turned five. The families assets were seized and he and his mother were thrown to the streets. James has no idea who his father is and although his mother did her best to give him an education befitting his former station, she was unsucessful. Jamie keeps the fact that he can read as a secret. He is a smart boy, a little on the quiet side and was living as a pick-pocket before the captain picked him up and employed him.
Personality: Jamie has a good heart. He has been hurt too many times in his life to be especially trusting but he does have a few close friends. His mother's death when he was twelve hit him hard. Jamie is a hard worker for the captian and this is his second voyage with the man. He loves the sea and being fed and clothed isn't bad either.
Training/Weapons: Jamie is agile and quick. He has picked up street fighting over the years and is a pretty good knife fighter. He thinks on his feet and knows how to get out of a situation when he needs to.
Other: The only thing unusual about James is his eyes, they are golden, with just the barest hint of green. He has no idea how he got such an unusal color of eyes and they have put him in both danger and protection over the years. There is something special about his father, what that is, we will see.

This is my request for Crimson Waters. The charecter description will be first then the RP sample.
Name: Arya
Age: 17
Occupation: None as of now, passenger
Reasons for the voyage: Arya comes from a rich family, and is tired of being pampered. She has always been somewhat wreckless. After being informed that she was engaged to a young man of high repute, settled in America, she grew angy with her constricted station in life and what she was expected to do. Instead of fleeing the situation, however, she decides to meet her new fiance and discover for herself what kind of man he is. If she likes him, she will stay, if not... she plans to continue her journey, traveling throughout the new world.
Description: Short at 4'9" with an average build she has dark red hair and strikng blue eyes. Her stance and manerisms are that of a young lady of high status: proud, strong, and determined. If asked, she does not believe in such ghastly creatures as ghosts and vampires. Being a devote christian, she wears a cross at all times except during bathing and sleep. Luggage/supplies: Harp, paper and pencil, slightly large men's clothing(borrowed from her brother), one fancy dress, a good amount of money, a hand mirror, two men's hats, a sword (borrowed from her father's collection) and everyday travel supplies.
RP SAMPLE:
Arya walked down the dock, head high and sholders back, ever the noblewoman. She noted with slight concern that people were staring at her. "Idiot," she berated herself. She realized, too late, that none above the status of a tradesman was currently on the platform, and only three woman were to be seen. Sighing heavily, she approached a seaman preparing a ship for sale. "Excuse me but is this ship headed for the new world?" After the seaman confirmed the ships destination, Arya inquired about the price for passage. The seaman looked her up and down, finally answering her,"Sorry m'lady, but with you bein' a woman an' all, we can' take ye aboard, it bein' bad luck an all. Good day." With a nod of his head, he was back to work. Arya continued on with her search with an annoyed growl. Her day had just begun.

For Crimson Waters Name: Todd Age: 13 Occupation: ships cook or passenger
Reasons for the voyage:A loveable scamp, Todd has left his mother's Inn to travel the world and make a name for himself. His "Plan" is to travel to America, gain wealth, trust and rank, and use his position to provide a better life for his long-sufferring mother and siblings. Todd is the second eldest of two boys and three girls. He loves his family very much (all exept his "rotten" older brother, charlie) but must leave in order to find wealth and become a man. This will be his biggest adventure.
RP SAMPLE: Todd stole through the wooden door, holding his sack behind his back. He looked shiftily around, and decided there was no one there. With a smile, he bit into one of the delicious apples he had scrumped from Mr Greggs apple tree. Scrumping was the schoolboy sport of stealing apples, and even though Todd himself had never been to school in his life, he never passed up a little excitement. He went to climb the stairs, but came face to face with his 14 year old brother charlie. "Mam!" screamed the bony wretch. "Mam, Todd's been scrumpin' again!" Todd glared at his brother, and bolted back out the door before his mother could catch him, pausing only to throw one of the more rotten apples at Charlie.
Description: around five and a half foot, with shining green eyes and sandy brown hair. A cheeky smile and freckles can be seen, lurking beneath his grubby cheeks. Usually wears brown leather pants/trousers, and a white blouse, typical of the time

Name: Senna Hanley Age: 22 Occupation: Captain's First Mate Reasons for the voyage: Young as she is, Senna has been travelling the seas since she was eight and practically lived all her lifeaboard her father's ship. However, due to certain events that created rift between she and her father, she ran away at the age of sixteen and signed up as an independent sailor on another ship, where the captain of the Lady Willow quickly recognized her skills as an expert navigator and pulled her up the ranks.
Description
Personality: Senna is usually quiet and calm, except when she's barking out orders or peering over atlases, maps and chart. However, her smooth exterior belies an explosive temper that has put her in trouble more than once.
Sample RP "Tell me you have a direction in mind, we've been drifting in the open sea for two weeks now and not a speck of land in sight!" Senna barked into the ear of the squat man in front of her. "Yessir, we off the horn of Africa now" Her face tightened into a scowl and she stepped threateninly toward him. "The Horn of- what are we doing this side of the world?. Our destination is the New World you blundering idiot, not the horn of africa or the silk islands" She grabbed the chart in his hands and shook her head. "That's it, you're done. I'm dropping you off the first port we reach. Now I have to start looking for a new Helmsman...The captain isn't going to like this one bit.
