Sea of Pirates

[LavenderFairy]

Missed this and since there are two active rpgs right now, I think there's a little room for one more, dontcha think ?. Anyways here goes :

Sea of Pirates

Takes place in those times where the fearless pirates used to roam the sea. The people in the nearby islands lived in fear of those bloodthirsty villains, and so they gathered their own special forces to protect themselves. No one was to leave the islands without a proper permission and no one was to enter without one either.

Among the pirates there was one worthy of the title of "God", his name was Captain Calico Vane. Capt Calico was the legendary pirate who had conquered the most rare treasures and was said to have the power to destroy the world. The  most bold adventurers of the sea had stumbled across magical artifacts that could help them control elements and cast spells, unlike the popular beleif that magic didn't exist. But even with that power, they couldn't take Calico on. As the time passed, pirates, adventurers, soldiers and merchants became obsessed with stealing Calico's treasure, only to be torn to pieces and scattered on the sea. However, even if he had the power and the sources, Capt Calico remained hidden in silence until one day, he dissapeared from his crew and was never seen again.

Now, somewhere in the sea or its surrounding islands, his treasure rests. Ready for that brave soul who dare risk his or her life to obtain it. The power to control everything...

Habilities:

Name: Charlotte Berry
Nickname:The Fearsome Rose
Age:20
Physical Appeareance:
Pic not done by me. Taken from Pb <3
Weapon: Cutlass Sword with a ruby
Bio (a little about yourself) : Charlotte was born in the little island of "Rosemary". Her mother however, was very poor and didn't like the idea of feeding the child what little food she had for herself. So she did a very humane thing... (NOT)

Bundling up the baby, she snuck on a merchant's boat and hid her child among the various goods. That evening she said the last farewell to her child, as the boat left the island. Halfway along their trip, the merchant's were mercilessly slaughtered by the Dario Pirates who were well known for their strong warriors and magical weapons. Capt Dario himself boarded the ship and found the baby who he raised as his own daughter.

Now, Charlotte roams the seas in Capt Dario's Ship, following the steps of her dear family. When she was fifteen , Dario gave her a silver sword with emeralds carved into it. That weapon had magical runes inscribed in it, and allowed Charlotte to control the element of earth and therefore cast earth spells.  

 
Habilities: Charlotte knows very well how to control her element and fend off attackers with her sword.  


Sea of Pirates

Ch1.

They had docked in Bermuda Island, a place where merchants took their best products and sold them for sometimes fair sometimes high prices. A very busy island indeed, perfect to obtain some of the best equipment in all the seven seas.

Charlotte arrived to the docks in her little rowboat and tied it up nicely. She checked her belt to see if she had the money Dario had given her to buy the goods and noticed it was there untouched. "Remember Charlotte, we are pirates but we wont attack people without a reason, so please don't use your sword in Bermuda, alright?". She remembered Dario's words and sighed. It had been a while since she had the chance to fight a strong opponent and she missed it. It was a rule among Dario's ship to never destroy merchant islands because they could relax and rest in them. And now she was stuck shopping while her fellow pirates drowned in rum and whisky in the nearby Pubs.

"Here goes nothing", she said as she walked among the crowded streets.

Name:Smith adams
Nickname: Steam
Age: 21
Physical Appeareance:


Weapon: Usually projectile- he's got two flintlocks

Bio: likes to create, design, and invent. He's kind of wacky and comical, but when it comes to being there for his friends- he is nothing but serious. He is kind hearted and intelligent. He seeks danger and adventure, yet avoids conflict. He can hold his own in a gunfight

Habilities: unnatural ability to stay alive, invent crazy devices, and has a knack for finding danger. He can reads people fairly well (kind of like mild mind reading).

*****************

"40 peices! no way" he said to himself. He waved the fruit at the merchant to show that he was buying it and put it in his bag. He frequented the merchants enough that they all knew him and trusted him. if he put something in his bag he was going to pay for it. after he finish picking out his food he visited the counter.

"you requested the song player i believe?" Steam said to the merchant
"yah" the merchant said with a slight snarl. "the food'll cost cha fifteh nine paces"
"Thirty-two pieces for the music player." he said handing the man a strange device and 27 gold coins. "thank you, sir"
The merchant growled in reply.

Steam walked out of the converted shipwreck quite happy with his buy. Dario? is that... HIS ship?
He made his way to the docks pushing through the crowd to see who he had sent. A small boat, seemingly from Dario's ship, had just docked. a beautiful young woman stepped out. She did not look very happy. In fact, she looked quite annoyed. she murmured something as she walked into the crowd.

Steam followed her into the crowd and after about a minute relocated her in one of the shops.

"hey miss! i owe your captian a-" the young woman turned around "a.. a... a thing..." Steam couldnt find his words. Was this Charlotte Berry? The Charlotte Berry that Steam had met on Dario's ship when he worked aboard for a short time when he was seventeen? Steam, slightly embarrassed coughed into his hands. "Let me show you around. I've lived her for quite a few years and i know the tricks these guys pull. i owe your captian a favor, i think i at least i should help him save his money. knowing him he's probably still on the ship getting drunk meaning you'll have more time then he's given you." He paused for a moment.
"Tink?"
"ya, i go by steam now. But you can call me that. you must be Charlotte"
"Rose"
"is it alright if i still call you Charlotte?"
"sure" she said with a smile.
"hey, what does your ship need? we got weapons, clothes, food, and for a limited time fruit. the fruit will cost ya extra. He was smart to bring down a girl, the women get stuff cheaper down here- it's just how the men are." Steam snapped out of his little rant "anyways, what do you need? I'll take you to the best shops here"

[LavenderFairy]

Charlotte eyed Steam with recognition. Yes, she had met this man and even chatted with him a few times, of course only until Dario caught her and pulled her away. She smiled inwardly, Dario, always caring and protective of her, with him in the way she would never get a friend.

Taking out a small piece of paper from her coat pocket, she handed him a list of goods and weapons. "He wants all this stuff to be delivered to his ship as quick as possible". Steam inspected the list and smiled, "Alright then! Don't worry, I'll sort this out".

After a bit of walking around and making deals with the merchants, Steam finished with his job and decided to rest a bit from the sun and the sand that was getting in his eyes. "Ah... im exhausted", he rested his back on a nearby tree and placed his hands under his head.

Ignoring the sand getting on her pants, Charlotte sat down on the floor, took out a small canteen and drank slowly. "Want some?", she tossed the canteen to Steam who accepted it gratefully.

Just then, an explosion was heard all over the place. Charlotte jumped to her feet while the people around them began running around in panic. "What the hell?", she muttered angrily. "Just when I was getting comfortable...".

"Charlotte listen to me, we need to return to your ship", Steam began pulling her away from the crowd but the girl stood firmly in her place. "I wanna see what's going on", she announced, using her strenght to pull him back easily towards her, taking him by surprise. "Woah! I didn't know you were so strong!". She smirked, "Chalk it up to Dario and his macho training techniques, now lets go".

Hurrying inside the panicked crowd, both made their way to the center where the explosion noises were heard. There, in the middle of all chaos, among the debris of the former booths , stood a man wearing a red coat with black edges and matching black pants with heavy boots. Wrapped around his forehead, was a red cloth with a black cross and a silver dragon in the middle. A mane of long black hair hung from his side, tied neatly in a ponytail. Inside the shadows covering his face, they could make out a glint from an evil teethy smirk.

Charlotte took two steps back in awe, "That man... ". Steam nodded, astonished, "Calico Vane...the legendary pirate"

...

[m-p3x9]

(Edited slightly from 1st verion)

"you know what? i think you are a grown girl. i need you to make a choice for me. the same one that got me kicked off the ship. Either stay with me and do a whole bunch of idiotic things while i protect you, or play it safe and follow orders from your captain"
She smiled and simply said "i do miss those adventures we had"
"So do you wanna do something stupid and crazy?"
She smiled even bigger "no"

Steam put his fingers on his temples and closed his eyes. "i got it. This guy is arrogant, all his men are on the ground- you can trust me on this part. He isn't an idiot, he knows no one will come against him. the way i see it His men are probably stealing from the shops and venders that are still here." and almost evil smile came across steam's face. "we come aboard his ship"
"Are you crazy?" Charlotte said astonished.
"yes" Steam replied with a smile. "stay here, i'll be right back.... like two seconds"

steam ran to his shop which was about 20 yards away to get a sort of homing beacon, a compass that pointed to the beacon, and his two favourite guns. That is, if they were not destroyed in the blast.

Charlotte looked from Steam back at Calico. Calico had spotted her. worse yet, Calico was in reaching distance from her. "STEAM!" she yelled in annoyance.

[LavenderFairy]

Just one little thingy though, before I answer...

Charlotte was raised by a powerpul pirate and can fight well and even use spells. More than a crazy girl she´s a brave, impulsive girl with a bit of a temper. (Yeah shes different from my usual cute girl charas xD). So she wouldn´t go doing crazy things just for the fun of it, she would rather face strong opponents and gain more experience.

About her relationship with Steam. It takes a bit of time for her to actually trust someone. Sure, she can hang out with him and act friendly and moody but she wouldnt want to be protected because she would feel useless and Dario would probably get angry at her. Just know that, so you may understand her a little better. If you have any more doubts you can always pm me .


So now to continue...


"Calico Vane, a legend. What are you doing in a place like this?", she asked while looking directly into his eyes. He smirked. "You girl, that pendant on your neck. The fearsome rose, I presume?". She nodded, "The one and only". He chuckled softly, now staring directly at her. The shadows on his face dissapeared and she could now distinguish his handsome features and legendary blood red eyes. He had a big scar that crossed his face and a piercing on his eyebrow.


"Dario raised you well young miss", he said, bowing a bit before her. She raised an eyebrow, “Someone like you shouldn´t bow to me. Now answer me, are you a man or a god?”. He chuckled loudly this time, “Oh, now that is a secret young miss”. He then searched in his coat and handed her a small parchment tied with a black string. “Hand this to Dario and tell him to leave this island as soon as possible”. She tilted her head to the side in confusion, “and may I ask why? We are still getting our goods and now this god before me decided to destroy the best booths. And why would he do that?”. He smirked, “I got bored. Now go Charlotte”.

Still confused but obedient, she turned back and ran in the direction Steam had left. As she walked further away  the impulse of turning back began to eat at her. Biting her lip, she tried her best to ignore it. After all, she had seen Calico Vane and even spoken with him. If she turned around and found it was all an illusion she wouldn´t be able to handle it.

Meanwhile, Steam had purchased his weapons and walked out triumphantly holding them close to him. “Ah, these are the best, huh?”. He noticed the girl approaching him, her face pale. “Now, what happened to the color on your face?”. She panted heavily and took him by the wrist without answering him. “Let´s go to Dario, I dont think this island is safe anymore…”. He gasped, “What are you talking ab.. Heyy wait!”. She pulled him in the direction of the boat, running as fast as her feet could take her. 

[m-p3x9]

i sorry D': i actually ended like that to see how you would fight (awwww....) and ill be more careful with rose- i promise (i'll fix it)
*****
"you... uhh... okay?" steam asked, about to smack himself in the face with the stupidity of the question. The way she looked at him implied she wanted to smack him to.
"Wait! the stuff we bought, i can bring it to the ship" She let go and he picked up the bag of weapons and food. He looked to charlotte, "i'll be back in a sec. stay here for a- ya, i'll meet you on the ship. Just go."
"whatever just don't get hurt" she grabbed the supplies from steam and ran to her ship
"alright"

steam went to the ship with similar markings to Calico's. He climbed one of the ropes up to the main deck. once up there, he climbed down a hatch to the hold of the ship. still no one. He brought along a wooden box containing some sort of tracking device that he had invented just days ago. It had never been tested so he was quite nervous to see if it actually worked. he walked towards what he guessed was the back of the boat, to some sort of bulkhead with a discrete hole in it that was hidden in the shadows. he put the box in there and ran to get onto the deck.

"Hello. you must be steam" Calico said with a smile. The main deck was flooded with men. most of them looked starved, yet had a fair amount of muscle
"How do you know my name?"
"i know everything about you."
"I hear you are a god, mister evil man. Shouldn't i be dead?"
"yes, but i am-" he paused thinking of the best word to say "in desire of your inventions."
"and if i don't listen?"
"My dear dear friend" he said walking closer to steam. "i don't think you understand. you are already dead" he said laughing. "follow the instructions on parchment that your dear old friend wrote. She should be giving it to Dario right now" Calico said, lying through his teeth.

Steam looked over and noticed that Dario's ship had set sail.
"how do you suppose i get back on the ship?" Steam asked cautiously.
Calico ran towards steam. As an impulse steam reached for both his guns in his holster and shot them at Calico. There was only one shot in each. it appeared both shots had missed, but there was no way. Calico grabbed steam by the head and through him against the side of his ship.

"Steam!" Charlotte said in surprise when she saw him fly right past her.
"oh..." Steam said as his face turned green. "where am-" he turned and faced the sea with his head dipped over the ship. I thought i was on the other ship. was i hallucinating? oh no... Steam's stomach let go of the food he had eaten hours before.
"Lost you're sea legs that quickly?" Charlotte said jokingly. a door opened and Charlotte briskly walked away to resume whatever she was previously told to do.
"Tink." said the "heartwarming" voice of dario. "what are you doing on my ship."
"i uhhhh..." Steam started, still disoriented by the vision or whatever it was. "i don't recall sir. i have brought some money to... uhhh" Steam wiped the corner of his mouth and coughed. In a manly business voice steam continued, "i will repay the damages and i am willing to work aboard your ship without pay."
"..."
"I am an excellent weaponsmith, sir. we have bought plenty of iron and i have brought gunpowder of my own. i also can track Calico's ship from about several miles away. His secrets may be yours, at last."
"you can stay, but do not cross me again" Dario said, not too happy with his choice.

[Woo]

Name: Victoria De Lioncourt

Nickname: Tempest.

Age: 21

Physical Appeareance:

(totally drew that)

Weapon: She is a master of Capoeira, using an elegant balance of dance and martial arts to maneuver into optimum positions. She is known to be wild, unpredictable and occasionally viciously exacting. At range she uses a powerful pair of flintlock pistols, and the magic provided by a necklace charm she has tied into her hair.

Bio: Victoria grew up the youngest child of a family of six sons. Her mother was the infamous Shrieking Kestrel, the most feared and respected female pirate of her generation, as was her mother, and her mother before her going back longer than anyone can recall. As soon as she could walk, Victoria was being pitted against her elder brothers in order to train her for life as a fierce pirate. She was raised harshly, without compassion; Only once she had proven herself in a fight against all of her elder brothers at once was she allowed to come aboard the ship. And so it was that she joined the crew at age 8. Once on board her training continued under the diligent eyes of her mother, who expected great things from the young girl. At age ten she was forced to engage in close-quarters combat with her crew mates, and at twelve she was sent alone aboard an enemy vessel and instructed to covertly kill the captain and prepare the ship for boarding. Several times she had slayed the entire crew of large ships with hardly so much as a scratch to herself. By the age of fifteen she could no longer stand her mothers tyrannical training, and so she stole a lifeboat and fled, eventually being found by a small rig and brought aboard. She has been roaming the seas since, desperate to make her fortunes and uphold the family reputation.

Habilities: Before leaving, she stole a family heirloom from her mothers room, a necklace that had been in the family for centuries. She keeps it tied in her hair with several other assorted charms, and it gives her the ability to control several aspects of the weather, as well as water. She is also terrifyingly unpredictable.

~~~

"Blast, I miss'd 'im!" Tempest cried, skidding to a halt in the mess of wood and bricks where Calico Vain had so recently stood. She had been trying to track traces of him for months, searching for clues as to his lost treasures. If she was going to live up to her mother's expectations, she would need all the help she could get. Though it was pure chance that she had stopped here today. A seagull had flown into her sails and torn them, and she needed extra hands to refit them. His sudden appearance was the first real lifeline she had.

Looking around frantically, she tried to find some point of entry or exit he could have taken, but nothing presented itself. Though she did catch a glimpse of the girl he had spoken to, a dazed look on her face. She was talking to someone else, a man with arms full of strange weapons. Perhaps she knew something... This girl was the closest thing she had to a lead, so Tempest took off after her, keeping to the shadows and out of sight.

Soon the girl had boarded her ship, and the ship had set sail. Tempest had no choice but to board her own small rig and set after the huge galleon, slicing quickly through the rising waves.

(You guys are going really fast!)
