Everyone should have a backstory behind their pirate. Who are they? What were they before becoming a pirate and what are they wanted for?

Hmmm... did I miss something what did you say your Pirates backstory is?...lol:D

As for my Pirate... Oh no, I just realised, I don't know!:parrot::flag1:

One day Solomon Helmfitte awoke to find he had been washed up on deserted island beach... Why was he there? Where did he come from? What had he done? What was he going to do now!... as they say "The rest is history!":eek:
:pirate ship:
 
One day, Bart Brawlmartin found himself especially hungover and locked in a British prison somewhere in the Caribbean. He was sprung from said prison by Captain Jack Sparrow himself! Captain Sparrow had arranged for my transport and we got under way. Not too long afterwards our boat was ambushed by Jolly Roger who demanded to know the whereabouts of Captain Jack and harassed the captain of my boat about some sort of debt, but I don't recall the specifics due to my drunken stupor. Jolly Roger then forced me to walk the plank and swim to the nearest island.

Before I knew it, I was on Port Royal and my career as a pirate had begun.

For years I plundered the seven seas with many of my elementary school classmates. From hunting the undead in the caves of Padres Del Fuego to showing off for lower level players at Kingshead with my voodoo staff by attacking that platoon of mid-ish level Royal Marines that were drilling in the courtyard.
 
Dog McSkull was born Donato Ottavia Giovanni Scullari on the island of Favignana, Sicily. He is the 8th child to Rudolfo and Bernadette Scullari . Dog speaks fluent English, French, Spanish, Greek and Arabic and loved to fish and caught Bluefin tuna for a living. one day returning from a fishing trip when he discover that his whole family had been slaughtered by jolly Rodger under the orders of Dom Vizzini because he became sick from eating puffer fish and blamed Dog for the bad fish (Dog never caught puffer fish). Dog was incensed and attacked the Vizzini family and killed all but the smallest boy who thought that dog could never kill everyone in his family and was herd stating it was "inconceivable'. the Copos under Dom Vizzini came after Dog, chasing him back to port, where Dog jumped on the 1st ship that was leaving the harbor. The ship belonged to Miguel Cardoza of Padres Del Fuego. Miguel asked Dog his name and he replied "my name is Dog McSkull from Cork Ireland "in the worst Irish accent anyone has ever herd. Miguel accepted the answer and asked if he would be interested in becoming his 1st mate. They became best friends and one day returning from some "extra" work around the Caribbean, the ship was attacked by Jolly Rodger, Miguel had fatal injuries and asked Dog to take care of his wife Angela and raise his daughter Barra as his own. Returning to Padres Del Fuego, Dog told Angela what had happed and vowed to take care of Angela and Barra and after some time passed Dog and Angela married. Angela, Barra and Dog swore to avenge the death of Miguel and fight Jolly every chance they can. Dog and Angela own Skulls Thunder tavern and live high on the volcano on Padres Del Fuego to this day

note: I came up with the back story back when i first crated Dog McSkull forPOTCO . when TLPCO came out I remade Dog McSkull just as before. then I decide to look into the Bluefin fishing on Favignana, Sicily to see what it looked like. much to my surprise I found this photo on a can of Sicilian Bluefin tuna

Angel McSkull (AKA: Angela Cardoza) was born Angela Montoya in Toledo, Spain to Rufina and Domingo Montoya. spending most of her days as child in her fathers Sword smith shop, she learned not only how to craft fine swords but use them as well. One day Count Rugen asked her father to craft a fine sword for him. Her father crafted the finest sword he ever made and when he the Count saw it he tried to say it sub-par . This outraged Domingo and said he would never sell any thing to the Count and instead gave the sword to his young son Inigo. this angered the Count and killed Domingo right in front of his son Inigo. Rufina gathered her family, except for Inigo who swore to avenge his father. the rest of the family headed to the sea to board a ship to Padres Del Fuego where her cousin Miguel Sanchez De Montoya lives. upon arrival Rufina and Angela opened a sword smith shop right on the beach next to the ship right. working in the sword shop one day, Angela met a merchant sailor by the name of Miguel Cardoza and fell in love, married shortly after, had a daughter named Barra. then, Miguel's 1st mate Dog McSkull showed up and told her how Jolly Rodger had ruthlessly killed her husband. Dog took care of Angela and Barra , as she continued to run the sword smith shop. Rufina and Angela crafted the finest swords in all the Caribbean. the other sword smiths didn't approve of woman making swords (especially far superior swords). one night the shop burned down. it looked like the lava flow, but Angela always thought that the other sword smiths did it. this ruined Rufina and Angela they thought that they would have to go back to Spain, but Dog McSkull said he would take of her and asked if she would merry him. Angela said yes and he said she was his Angel. Rufina moved back to Spain to be with other family members. Angela changed her name to Angel McSkull. today Angel still makes swords for "special" clients in a back room of her and Dog's house high on top of the volcano onPadres Del Fuego.

Living His Life As A Normal Human Was A Good Life For Mr.Free Sailor Living In London Born Back In 1333.
But When 1350 Came Around Things Changed. Word Of A "Black Plague" Was Spreading Like Wild Fire And Soon The Sickness Followed.
His Whole Family Had Become Sick So At Age 17 He Become A Plague Doctor. He Had Zero Skill In Being A Doctor So Most Of His Patients Die.
This Gave Him Flash Backs To His Family And He Decide In 1354 To Find A Cure For This Monster Of A Plague.
So After 14 Long Years He Come Out Of Hiding With Nothing To Cure The Plague. But While He Was Studding He Found Something Much More Valuable, The Cure To Age Itself.

When The 1500s Came Around He Was Begin To Lose Hope In The Boring World Of London. Nothing Surprised Him, He'd Seen Every Site To Be Seen. But He Had Got Word Of A New Thing Called Piracy. He Had Never Really Thought Of Himself As A Bad Person (Having Forced Himself To Forget His Past) So He Thought It Would Be A Nice Adventure And Stole A Ship And Rounded Up A Crew.

THE END

Jack Firesteel was born on Tortuga by the name of "Jack." Throughout his early childhood years he would go to a cliff overlooking the port every day just before sunset and watch the pirate warships enter and leave port, dreaming of the day he would be captain of one of those massive ships. After a few years of this (and pestering the pirate crews that ported at the island), he eventually became a cabin-boy aboard a Sloop by the name of the Crimson Pillager, where he would serve for a month in the crew before the ship and her crew were captured by the Navy. Jack though had managed to slip away, and stowed away in the cargo of the Navy Ship as she sailed for Port Royal.
Upon arrival at Port Royal harbor, the prisoners were escorted to Fort Charles, and Jack quickly made his way to the Dungeon to try snagging the Keys from the guard dog. After that plan failed spectacularly, he then set a Fire Iron inside a fireplace for a few hours until it became white hot. Rushing back to the Cells where the crew was, he shoved the Iron into the keyhole causing the lock to melt, freed the crew from the cells, and led the mad dash out of the Dungeons to the Pillager waiting in the harbor, where they swiftly made way and got out of range of the fort's cannons. Afterward they gave the cabin-boy the nickname "Firesteel" before returning to Tortuga, where the boy departed from the Pillager to make his own path.
The young Jack Firesteel then stole a ship to live out a life of piracy... until he was caught by the Navy a few weeks later, while he was attempting to ransack Nassau port without firing a single shot after hearing that Captain Jack Sparrow had done it, and was tossed in the jail on the tiny spit of land called Rambleshack where he was left to rot. But, fate decided that it wasn't done with him just yet as the distant sound of thunder echoed through the cold stone walls of the jail, a familiar voice tells him, "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. You look just like how I feel. Now pull yourself together."

My story? I expect not too different from many others who sailed these waters. I had mastered all there was to learn in my time on land and sea. I was a self made man in a world of respectable thieves. But one day that era came to an end. I sailed my ship into the rising sun praying to come back home someday. I went into exile in a strange land until one of my old coins began to ring its mystical tone. It was time to return. I restored my beached ship, scraped the rust off my once destructive blades and pistols- a shell of their former glory. I have returned aboard my crew's flagship and will rebuild it to what it once was, will rebuild my guild if possible, and will return to the heights of piracy where man and woman can sail free as they please.
 
Born in Southampton, England the daughter of a sailing man, Eliza spent much of childhood on or around ships. Her father and older brother captained the families cargo ships until East India drove out most of the independents. With the family in debt, Eliza decided it was best to strike out on her own instead being married off. She stole aboard a ship bound for the New World, disguised as a cook's boy.

But as a storm threatened to capsize them, Eliza joined her mates in securing the ship - only to have her true nature be discovered. Imprisoned for the remaining journey, she was left in Charleston Harbor. Finding whatever work she could, Eliza sent money home to help the family, only to receive word her father had passed. Desperate to go home, she joined up with an unsavory crew looking to return to England, even if it meant stealing a ship.

Soon caught and imprisoned, Eliza found herself truly alone in Rambleshack Jail. That was until a charming but devious pirate aided in an escape - only to abandon her once more. Washing ashore on Port Royal and now wearing a pirate's brand, Eliza made a final bid to sail back to Southampton aboard a rickety sloop. She was found adrift by a brig full of miscreants led by a man named Charles Hardwick, who took her as part of their crew. For the first time, Eliza felt accepted and worthy. Even if it meant being a pirate.

She sailed, plundered and fought along side Hardwick's men and in time she grew to love him. But it was not meant to be as the East India Black Guard set upon Hardwick's ship and he died in her arms. Enraged, she swore revenge on the East India Trading Company for making her a widow.
 
Marisol and Markus Furyhawk are twins from the Costa del Sol region of Spain (OOC: Southern spain near modern day Málaga). They are both a spry 27 years of age. Like many twins during this time, they were separated from each other at birth… for a day (just kidding). Both have deep brown eyes, sun hardened skin and outlandishness reminiscent of the mighty Phoenicians of old that once settled along the very same coast of Europe. Rumours suggest their lineage could be traced back to an ancient king of the Phoenicians… but those are just rumours, savvy?

Strangely, Marisol is the taller of the two by a couple centimeters, but Markus prefers to say he is just “un poco fornido” (a little stocky) not overweight. Their preferred method of travel is aboard their warship, The Crimson Hawk, a War Sloop that is… wait for it… “nigh uncatchable” a la The Black Pearl. Its red sails strike fear into the hearts of EITC mercenaries and rattle the resolve of Undead pirates. They have recently been known to frequent the shores of Cuba, trying to sell their Mediterranean wares as foreign delicacies, with mixed success. Lately, they have also settled into roles as members of the secretive Dark Archive, with the hopes of monetizing their goods to great profit.

As their homeland is in Spain, they are more often than not found privateering on behalf of their patria but sometimes gold persuades even the hardest of hearts, and they have no qualms about going to the highest bidder.
 
Not much was known about Captain Jack Truesilver before he arrived in Hispaniola with a mind to reconvene the dead pirate coalition, known as the Brethren of the Coast. Most know the basics; he was an Englishman who had once sailed the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean near a decade ago. It was also apparent that he was no average sailor, but a pirate, and an experienced one at that.

He was twenty-five when the hurricane hit, only just beginning his career of theft on the high seas. But he’d come a long way in ten years, and for him, that's all that anyone needs to know. In fact, that's all that anyone knows at all. Since his upbringing into piracy, several hard-learned lessons have taught him to place things closer to the vest.

Not that he doesn't have a story...he just doesn't share it. If one were to gain his trust, they might learn a thing or two about where this mysterious buccaneer came from really and what his story was.

Arkes is known to have the slyness and cleverness of a thief and also the cockiness of a pirate*
 
Mum was training me for this moment. Said I would be doing dear old Dad proud. But what she didn't tell me, was that I had a "little surprise" accompanying me along my travels.

Davy Gunshot. His birth name was Daithi Ó Ciardha of Dublin his birth date is unknown as is his age he was thought to have been born in the 1700's to 1710's. Growing up in poverty he changed his name to David Carey and went to England where he joined the British navy and learned to sail. For 10 years he watched and learned very very carefully how to sail until he was shot in the abdomen and thought to have no chance of survival due to the spreading infection, but he did live and it earned him his nickname Davy Gunshot. After being discharged from the Royal Navy he went home in search of his family learning that they had left for the new world, he found a man offering a ride to Barbados in exchange for a few years work and rather than volunteer for plantation work instead he volunteered to help crew the ship. A month or so into the trip he came to the realization that these 'indentured servants' as they were being called were being treated as nothing more than slaves and rather than await his fate he developed a plan to 'relieve' the captain and loyal crew members of their duties... and their lives. In the dead of night the deck only visible by the light of the moon he led the indentured and the crew members who were willing in a daring and brave raid on the captains quarters and the loyalists bunks outnumbering them and throwing each man who refused to accept the new regime over board. Davy himself walked into the captains quarters and removed his head hanging it from the figurehead as he sailed into the Pirate town of Port Royal Jamaica and he and his crew began plundering, but he was caught Arrested and thrown into a small jail on island awaiting his date to be hanged. There he met a curious captain who lacked a ship by the name of Jack Sparrow who helped him escape and the rest... well, that is history.

Grace Peyton was born on the island of Jamaica to a blacksmith and his wife. When Grace was a baby, her mother died of a fever. Her father raised his daughter as though she were a boy: dressing her in boy's clothes, letting her help out in his shop, and even teaching her some of the basics of swordplay. He was a good man, but liked to try his luck at cards a little too much. Grace was seventeen the night her father was shot and killed over a gambling debt. With nowhere else to go, Grace turned to piracy. She took the name Truesteel in honor of her father's profession and wound up crossing paths with several notorious pirates, including the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. One day, the pirate ship she was crewing got into a skirmish with an EITC ship. Grace reckons she hit her head, because the next thing she knew, she was waking up in a jail cell with Jack Sparrow.
