Thank you for being patient ya scurvy dogs!
Okay, ii had some time just now... so i finished the character sheets for the captain, my own character and the starting ship... note that the captain should be mutinied at some point and if you guys want new ships can always be found on the high seas
Name: Cap’n Black-Jack
Age: ? He never tells his true age... though it is obvious he is getting rather too old for pirating.
Sex: Male
Species: Old Timber Wolf
Weapons: A long and very elaborate sabre, two flintlocks and a pair of curved daggers, along with any rum bottle he can smash over your head.
Clothing/appearance: A black captains hat he stole from the previous owner, black waistcoat, black trousers, black everything... His fur used to be a dark tan, but is now becoming grey.
Bio: Jack, used to be a no-life, thieving, drunken pirate with a mean streak... Now, thirty years on, and Cap’n Black-Jack is still just as drunk, even meaner and with his own ship. Well known for having a bottle of rum on him at all times, and for his particular mean streak when drunk, even to his own crew...
Personality: Cap’n Black as he has now become known, is a tongue slicing, cruel and rather heartless Pirate, having grown up through life and hated it, he has a particular mean streak that made him force almost his whole crew to walk the plank. This had the minor set-back of meaning his ship had no sailors, and so he set off for the nearest port ready to find more lacklustre men...
Name: ‘Savvy Kitt’
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Species: Feline
Weapons: A long Falchion blade, a flintlock he rarely uses and several throwing axes also used when boarding ships.
Clothing/appearance: Kitt wears rather untraditional Mediterranean pirate clothes, having been a European pirate as a youngster, his clothing choice reflects this. A faded blue bandana faded blue waistcoat and an old linen shirt. Dark Tan trousers, a very thick leather belt and he also wear a navy blue scarf tied round his waist.... Kitt’s fur is a light brown/grey with typical European stripes....
Bio: ‘Savvy Kitt’ grew up aboard a European buccaneer’s ship. Cap’n Black-Jack went on one of his long and eccentric voyages, far out of the Mediterranean to plunder and pillage the ships further north. One such ship was the Savvy Roger, with all the crew dead, Cap’n Black went below deck to find their supply of rum, and instead he found a young cabin boy huddled amongst the barrels. With a moment of curious friendship, Cap’n Black took the child aboard his ship, and took him in as a son. No-one has ever known why he spared Kitt’s life, except for Cap’n Black himself....
Personality: Kitt is adventurous, unruly and in a way rather like his adopted father... though without the excessive drunkenness and without the reputation. Excitable, young and a pirate on the high seas has led to him growing up to be a true Savvy sailor...
Name: The Black Fang
Age: The wood is starting to buckle, and the mast has been replaced more than fifty times, all in all... this is a ship at the end of its tether...
Type: Schooner- The two-mast schooner is a favourite of the Caribbean and Atlantic pirates. With many of the same features of the sloop such as terrific speed, manoeuvrability, and gun capacity, this swift ship was first built in the 1700's with a narrower hull and a shallower draft of only 5 feet. This meant it could easily take a large haul and 75-man crew further inland to hide or to divide the booty, but a smaller hold stored fewer spoils.
Weapons: Several small cannons, mostly it relies on boarding attacks and swift speed rather than outright firepower.
Appearance: The hull is made of a dark oak, along with the dark charcoal grey sails, this is where the ship gets its name, and is a testimony to Cap’n Black’s strange affinity with the colour of his namesake. The ship is low to the water, and cuts through waves like a knife through a stomach, it bears a single battering ram at the prow of the ship that is made of a black-stained iron, from which the ship gets its name of ‘Black Fang’... The ram is used to smash into a larger ship, and pin the Black fang to it, making it easier for boarders to leap across.... Cap'n black prefers this smaller ship due to it's extreme speed and ability to go farther inland and up river than most ships... perfect for plundering loot!
