Username: Bearcoon
Name: Quinn O'Connell
Nickname: Quinn's short enough =P
Age: 18 Years
Gender: Female
Description: Of average height, at least she thinks she is, Quinn is a rather typical Irish woman. With pale and freckled skin, moderately long curling bright hair, and beautiful green eyes. She was built to be quick and agile, which she uses to her great advantage.
Her usual outfit is rather plain, typical brown breeches with knee high boots, a few buttons missing here and there. Her shirt used to be white, but with living aboard the ship even when in port and the life she's living, it's not exactly that color anymore.
History: Quinn was born under somewhat strange and unwanted circumstances. Her father was a rather well off merchant and her mother the man's maid. It was kept as quiet as something of that nature possibly could be until Quinn was born. Things fell into a relatively simple pattern after that, the secret not exactly being let out but speculated on by most.
Five year later, Quinn's mother disappeared, obviously having run off and leaving Quinn's raising solely up to her father. The man had absolutely no idea what he was doing, leaving most of the job to the various household staff, only making Quinn's resentment grow.
By the time she were twelve Quinn had already forged quite the reputation for herself, and only furthered it from then on out. By some she was considered absolutely mad, divine punishment for her father's affair, but Quinn never took the time to notice. She had far to much fun terrorizing the servants, as she was now in charge of running the house.
When finally the joys in that ran out, Quinn stowed away on her father's ship determined to find her new adventure, pirates. It was not long until the ship were boarded and Quinn was begging for her life in front of the captain. Amused by her, the captain took her along for no other reason than just that, amusement. It only served to inflame Quinn's resolve to prove herself just as good as the men, which she did eventually do, earning her freedom and a rank among the rest of the crew.
Unfortunately, when her ship was boarded she was stolen away by the same ship she is still stuck on.
Personality: Quinn found out quickly how to fall in line with a crew of surly men, having perfected the art by now it's become her default personality. Loud, forward, and certainly no one to be trifled with. She has a strange sense of humor, keeping others on edge on what she's serious about and what she isn't. She doesn't mind death, blood, gore, in fact sometimes it seems that she likes it.
In all actuality it's more of a mask than anything else. Somewhere down there Quinn really regrets ever running away and being as terrible as she has been, but she knows it's far to late. She's determined to make the best of it, convincing herself it is still what she wants most in life.
Strengths- 'Born leader' type, Determination, Brave, Fast Thinker,
Weaknesses- Forward, Loud, Never Lets Things Go, Quick Temperered
Likes- A Good Fight, Toying With The Men, The Sea, Adventures, Guns, Rapiers and Knives, Hot Food, Beer
Dislikes- Getting Wet, Being Yelled At, Arrogant People, Being In Port, Chores She Deems Useless/Mundane, Cooking
Fears- Drowning, Having To Go Home, Being Found By People Who Used To Know Her, Being Mistreated By Men, Having To Change Ships Again, Dying Alone
Other:I do realize that Umi and Quinn seem to have a few of the same things in their histories. If this is a problem I can totally chuck Quinn out and play another of my pirate characters.

Name: Felix
Nickname:
Age: 17 Years
Gender: Male
Brief Description: Shorter than average, which annoys Felix to no end. Aside from this, he likes to think himself good looking. He's the average blond type, shaggy blond hair and average blue eyes. His skin is tanned from spending his life working out on the deck or being up in the crow's nest all day, though he was originally rather pale. He was built to scramble up and down the rigging, perfect for the job of scout. He's rather good in a fight too, favoring a rapier more than a gun, but he's happy to us either.
History: There isn't a time Felix can remember that pirates have not been part of his everyday life. His mother worked and lived at a seaside tavern somewhere in France, raising Felix there without any worry for the boy's well being. Felix never really realized there was anything wrong there, enjoying the company of pirates and other sailors. What he never could understand were the women they kept company with, finding them the most strange creature to ever walk the earth.
The moment he was able to, around 15 years old, Felix got himself hired onto the ship. His mother had no trouble with this, having another child to raise and certain Felix was man enough to make his own way at that point. He's been bounced around from ship to ship, his disagreeable disposition causing him this.
Personality: Socially awkward. Felix just never got the art of social graces down, having grown up in a seaside tavern. Manners and how to get along with people just dont really rear their heads in places like that. Felix says things he probably shouldn't, he cant really keep a secret unless under death threat, he's gotten to be known as an insensitive jerk by some people, mostly female.
Felix himself does not see anything wrong with himself, wondering what everyone else's problem is when this sort of thing happens. He does try, really. It just doesn't work when you dont see yourself as a problem.
Strengths- Observant, Thinks Out-side Conventional Means, Works Well When Given A Goal,
Weaknesses- Rebellious, See Personality, Oblivious To Own Faults, Picks Out Negatives Easily
Likes- Working By Himself, Being In Charge, Causing Trouble, Breaking Rules, Swords and Knives
Dislikes- Difficult People, Women, People In Power Above Him, Rules, Guns
Fears- Death of course, Having To Be Scout Forever, Never Getting Anywhere In Life, Failure
Rank: Scout

Username:
Popcorns
Name:
Nicholas Lismore
Nickname:
Nick
Age:
Seventeen
Gender:
Male
Brief Description:
Nicholas is about 5'5" and weighs about 130lbs, give or take a little. He has dark brown hair and creamy skin that has some dark tone from the sun. His eyes are a medium sky blue that are normaly reserved for blond people. He's a bit lanky, not exactly the best to be in a fist fight with someone. He has enough muscle to weild a sword and perhaps a gun from time to time, but nothing more. His legs are quite meaty with strength- stronger then his arms that is- from running from angery shop owners. His back is scattered with long scars from being lashed as a boy from his continous stealing.
History:
It's not sure where Nicholas was born, he himself doesn't know the full truth. Just the truth that basicly everywhere was his home. His father was a traveling merchent, so constintly on the move. His mother died from a illness when he was five, leaving Nick's father to take care of the boy as well as his job. The only time the young lad proved to be a handful was when the shiney, and beautiful items were left unatendded. When his father returned, Nick would have either broken the item or some how managed to hide it form sight from days on end. That's the only problem Nick was to his father; the boy enjoyed stealing the prized items for himself. He got punished many times for the act of stealing as he reached the duble didgits and ended up going after other merchents once his father started to sell pottery; the only thing Nick didn't like.
In the end, Nick grew tired of the same reactions. by the age of fifteen, his father had appeared in a sea-side town. There, a ship was docked that caught his eye. Feeling drawn to the black sails, Nicholas snuck on the ship to see what treasers laid there. With his arms full, he began his quick flee before being caught. He was though and was instantly givin lashes before his true jugdment came. It was only an hour before his father knew and pleaded for the Captin's mercy. The thing was, at the end of the talk, Nick was to surve as one of the crew to pay for the crimes he had comitted in the past; his father agreed and sent his son off to a life at sea.
Personality:
Nick is nothing but a loyal man to his captin, but to others he's a bit shaky with them. He tends to lurk about the ship when not having a job. Often during that time he's thinking of things that could aid him and only him. When in work, he's quite and focused on getting the task done. That's the main thing with Nicholas; he's not a major slacker. There's plenty of time to slack once the works done-which he does do- but when their's a task at hand he rather not get yelled at for being slow.
Aroudn the dinner table, Nick will talk up a storm about stories and events that happened that day. Just because he's at the bottom of the crew doesn't make him timid or sheepish like how some people think of the lowest person of the pack. He likes to do what everyone one else does. He has a tendency to get on other's nerves, but other than saying to much, Nick is overall quite balanced out in his mind.
Strengths-
Being a nomad; he doesn't get stressed about being an attached to a certin place.
His foot steps are silent
Improvising for things
Weaknesses-
He doesn't know how to read or write
He often acts before he thinks
His motto he takes to his heart;"Finder's keepers, losers weepers"
Likes-
Rum
Expensive items
Breaking things
Eating(who doesn't?)
Dislikes-
Snails
Being lashed
Having to teach someone new
Fears-
Starving to death
Being mocked of not being able to read or write

Username:
Popcorns
Name:
Emiliano II Rowena
Nickname:
Emilio
Age:
Nineteen
Gender:
Male
Brief Description:
Emilio stands at about 5'11" from head to toe. He has black hair that comes to about his shoulders along with dark eyes to match. He has light brown skin that looks like dark sand. His cheeks bones aren't high unlike the other men in his family on his mother's side. He has a light stuble on the side of his cheek before it grows into longer facial hair around his chin. He has the same lightish stuble under his nose like a mustache. His hair is usally pulled back so that the sea won't make himself sting his eyes when his hair would make contact with his eyes.
His clothes are very basic, just a whtie flannel T-shirt suited for his position and pants easy to move around in. Only on some occasions that he wears shoes. If he must cover his feet, he'll slip on a pair of sandles instead. He enjyos the feeling of the stray ocean drops under his feet.
History:
Emilio was raised in Rome, Italy in the countryside. His mother, Cathrine, fell in love with a French soldier who was one of the French soldier to help the Pope ruler at the time. It was his job to make the few rebellions back down. Emilio's mother though was already pregnat from a mystery man. Afraid that her child would be killed for having no father or some other crazy thing, she lusted after the solider untill they married a month before Emiliano was born. Emilio was named secretly after his father, but his mother never told everyone. Her new husbend just expected that it was some person in her family that the boy was named after once it was offical that he was Emiliano II.
Emilio's childhood was peacful. Laughter filled his younger days before he was sent to work in the family's fields. His mother new husbend- the soldier who's name was Remus- one day left to go back to France with the rest of his fleet. During his absence, things were quite. It wasn't untill the day that his mother had gotten a letter that things stirred. Turned out that Remus' troops had been ambushed and no mercy was given. His mother in tears, they moved towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. It was there that Emilio joined the crew at age thirteen. Infact, he hadn't really joined, just hid himself along with another group of boys as a game. They had fallen asleep and next they knew, the crew had found them. Luckily, the crew sparred some of the young boy's life and made them do the chores and such, Emilio included. He never had met his mother since, wondering what she was doing, or if she was alive and happy. Maybe the letter about Remus had been wrong and he had returned to his mother somehow. But hopes can't always come true.
Personality:
Emiliano is a very sensable person with the higher ranking men. But with the women and the lowar ranked men, he tends to have brief conversatiosn with. It's almost impossible though in his eyes to leave a women unetended to do work, so eh tends to hover near by with a slight glare. He wasn't exactly on boared when the Captin insisted upon the captured, but Emilio had tried to look on the bright side. Now though, he tends to get frustrated easily over the smallest things. He can't help it really. It's how msot of the men are on the boat; hot-headed.
The Co-captin can easily be ruthless and have no mercy. He finds that it's just easier to eliminate the threat first then weaken it. His mind can stay together long eough tot hink out a plan, but he tends to just want to get things done the easiest way then the long way, so he often loses intrest in the group plan. He seems to have a huge competitive streak, which is his main downfall. He can't refuse a challenge, be it a gamble or a fight.
Strengths-
Skilled with a gun
Merciless; he doesn't crumble under guilt of killing another or such
Strong upper arms from climbing up towards the Bird's Nest when he was a Scout
Weaknesses-
Competitive
Hot-headed
Hovers by the women(Doesn't really trusts them to get the job right)
Untrusting of the lowar ranks
Likes-
His crewmates
Crab
Winning
Dislikes-
Women(Oh yes we have a sexist)
Cabbage
Nobles
Fears-
To go home to Rome; what would he have there?
Being jumped and forced form the Ship

Question: Could Sholto have a dog? O_o I just got done rereading his history and it felt fitting. If you say no that's understandable. xD a dog on a pirate ship would be odd.
