Welcome to Gaia! ::

• Jack Sparrow is an infamous pirate captain of the Caribbean seas; born onboard a ship in the middle of a typhoon, off the coast of India.
• At some point, Jack strikes a bargain with Davy Jones to resurrect his beloved vessel the Wicked Wench that was set aflame and sunk. He renamed the vessel the Black Pearl and began a new life as a pirate.
• Later he obtained the title of Pirate Lord, his domain being the Caribbean Sea.
• After two years of being captain, Jack lost the black Pearl by a mutiny lead by his First Mate, Hector Barbossa. With aids from others, Jack regained the Pearl after defeating Barbossa. Later, he lost the ship to Barbossa again, and the ship was lost to Blackbeard.
• Over the course of time, Jack became the stuff of legend and many tales were told of his exploits, with most of these tales being fabrications concocted by Sparrow himself to bolster his reputation. Despite his many deceptions though, Jack did embark on a great number of adventures, many that involved the supernatural and various legends of pirate lore.
• Jacks ultimate ambition was to achieve immortality and the freedom to sail the Seven Seas as a legendary pirate for eternity.

• Jack Sparrow was noted for his unusual demeanor, characterized by a slightly drunken stagger and wild, flailing arm and hand gestures that made him appear unfocused
• Sparrow relied more on intelligence, agility, and quick wit to protect himself, rather than physical strength. He frequently outmaneuvred enemies with his words but when forced to fight he was still a formidable opponent.
• Sparrow was a decent, if self-serving, man who adhered to the Pirates' Code.
• Sparrow considered himself sensitive to the opposite sex, explaining that he had a "tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature."
• Sparrow was usually in a lot of debt, commonly for more than simply money.
• He had two tattoos on his right forearm marking him as a pirate; one, the distinctive "P" brand marked on pirates by members of the East India Trading Company and a tattoo of a sparrow flying across a setting sun. This was a well-known identifying mark, signifying that the bearer has sailed all of the Seven Seas. Jack's back is also extensively tattooed with a 15th century poem called the 'Desiderata'.

• Jack was known to carry a number of items about his person at all times, including a flintlock pistol, a sword, and a compass; commonly referred to as his "effects". Jack was highly possessive of these items, and became visibly agitated whenever they were taken from him or tampered with.
• Jack's tricorne hat was one of the pirate's most beloved possessions, possibly because it symbolized his status as a Captain
• One curious object Jack carries amongst his 'effects' is his Compass. The compass does not point north, but rather towards the thing that the person holding the compass wants most. This compass is currently stolen from him and Jack is frantically searching.

• Jack Sparrow was a skilled swordsman but usually preferred to escape or negotiate rather than fight. However when forced into combat Jack held his own in duels by using a combination of swordplay, trickery, and using any available object as a weapon.
• Sparrow was frequently disarmed and he preferred escape or negotiation rather than combat.
• However, being the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean and having the highest bounty on his head out of all other Pirate Lords might indicate that he was much more skilled in battle than he let on; alternatively he could have just annoyed and escaped more people than the others.
