Pirates
Plot
Hundreds of years ago a ship who sailed the seven seas was lost forever. That very vessel owned the seas in which it soared over, the most feared of all pirate ships. But one day, it just disappeared without a trace.
For years people lived like nothing had ever happened, using the seas only to import and export things. But you out there still lurks four pirate ships, hoping that with the threat gone, they can claim the seas as their own.
So in present day, as the era of pirates is dying, you are looking for more adventure! You join a pirate ship in hopes of finding something to do with your life. But what you don’t know is the plans these captains have. They want to own the seas. And they know to do that, they have to eliminate all others. But what they don’t know, is that whoever comes to claim the seven seas, that ghost ship will come back and try to protect what it loves and owns.
And, of course, you have those silly government officials with the powdered wigs to worry about!

You have just joined as a crew member of one of four ships: You can have/ join Wrath, [s]Siren’s Song,[/s] Blood Curse or The Phoenix. We need at least five to a ship, so tell your friends to join! The first other three to post their application should choose and ship, and become a good captain. ACTIVE MEMBERS should only become the captain. Everyone needs to post often.

Name: Ellisa Jones
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: Here’s the link: http://exwhy.deviantart.com/art/pirate-20183351
Her eyes, though, are gray with some teal specks. Her hair does not have the braids, but is wavy with dark roots, and the underside of her hair. She has copper tanned skin.
Personality: Brusque, comedic, melodramatic. Rarely ever seen serious. (Needs a smart first mate!)
History: She was about to be married off to a man at fifteen, who was forty-five years old, but she ran away. She found herself aboard the Siren Song. When the captain died, he hand over the keys to her, and she became captain. Numerous male crew members left, even the first mate. She wants to prove all those men wrong, and show them that a female can be the captain of a ship. She is in desperate search of crew members so that she can claim the seven seas as her own.
Ship: Captain of Siren Song.
Other: Can get quite gullible at times. She thinks sirens are real.... She relies heavily on her first mate. When she is insulted she acts very melodramatic, and shuts herself out. When she gets a compliment, however, she perks right back up and is back in action! She still cannot grasp the difference between which pistol is better. She has taught herself well in swords, and she has great balance. She has a mangy stray dog on board with her all times. She calls it Mutt. Like Cap'n Jack Sparrow-- who looked at a compass that didn't work-- she always looks at a pocket watch that hands from her waist that has always been stuck at a minute before twelve P.M. She's never bothered to change it. And yes. She is up for love.
(If you know who Tamaki is from Ouran High School Host Club, she acts like him XD)

I hope I got everything! Once we have captains and a few members for each ship, we will get started! I am creating a discussion thread so that you can discuss everything there. All questions, etc,.
Just thought I'd mention this: We'd need 20 people to sign-up in order to get all the ships filled. (1 captain, 1 first mate, 3 crew members). So, if we have atleast 10 to sign up, we'll make two ships, but if we only have about eight or something, let's say, then we'll keep it all on one ship. Okay?
