Contracts

Needed:

Minutemen.
Bounty Hunters.
Assassins.


Without them dears, this storybook simply cannot start.

My mom says I am...

To answer the question above, I am a former Captain of the Colonial Army. In other words, I was a commander but now I go back to being just another plantation owner in Colonial America. Except my "friend" is going to set me up with a job opportunity Captain Christopher Jefferson can't refuse.

Awesome Now we've got enough assasins right? Delilah was approved, I'm guessing Noah was since he's you know, your character and Shari, plus Ace if she was approved. Then there is Mr. Christopher whom I assume will end up a bounty hunter. So we need at least another bounty hunter and a couple of minute men

Ace will be approved when the young lady comes back tomorrow and edits the profile. And minutemen are practically just bounty hunters as well, just with another name. But yes, you're right! I do hope people join :/

xD Well if you think anything is wrong with Noah I'll take another look at him.

Sorry I edited it a bit...

I really like the name, so I don't want to change it unless you really want me to. I couldn't think of another fault, but if you might suggest one I would be happy to go along with it. My character is as you guessed an assassin.

I know you like the name sweetheart, but it's just.. "Zero Swift" sounds like the name of a futuristic spy rather than a colonial hitman. I suppose you can keep it if you really want to.. and maybe another flaw could be that he will not and can not murder children or women on a contract, which gets him frequently into debates with his comrades and arguments with his employers.

But for the record everybody, let's try not to kill children. That's just.. no.

Edit: Made a DT. Yay.

I'm so excited for this to start I already have scenes going on in my head, lol

Oh and killing children is just a sign of failure and it's overall pretty sick. Let's not.

Quite disturbing, but I changed the faults and changed the name to Daniel.

I think I just sniped your problem. This is your problem. This is your problem shot

I am happy for my character to be an associate for either side - if more bounty hunters are needed then she could assist them [ie. Tanith's character] as an informant

She'll basically go with whichever side benefits her most. Or whichever she's ordered to obey. :3

Hopefully we start soon?

Hopefully

we needs more peeps 'fo we can start.

Hello. I have edited Ace. I hope it's better.

But I noticed that Kidashka's character is much like mine. Is that alright for it to be like that?

EDIT: Here is my profile.

Name: Gabriel

Gender: Female.

Age (18+): 20

Profession: Bounty Hunter.

Appearance: Gabriel has a long, love heart shaped face that is usually hidden behind a wild clump of oak brown hair. She usually keeps it pinned back behind her ears with a piece of string she always has on her. She has small lips, and an over bite which is one step away from making her look goofy. With a button nose and arched eye brows, her deep hazel browns eyes are usually always wide. Gabriel often wears tight leather pants and a long, yellow linen shirt which is tied to her waist by a flimsy belt. On her hands she wears fingerless gloves that cover her short palms, and on her long legs she wears almost knee high boots.

Skills: Gabriel is talented in hearing. She can hear almost meters away, the slightest whisper sets off like a scream to her. Because of this she can easily creep away unnoticed and can easily sense movement coming towards her.

Flaws: Gabriel is very "optimistic." She is obsessively attempting to fix something that cannot be fixed simply because she believes that if she works hard enough, anything is possible. Gabriel's wrist has a small cliche to it, if moved to quickly or used to often she won't be able to use her arm.

Equipment: Gabriel always has a collection of short daggers or darts on her. Her favourite weapon though is the pair of blades she usually has strapped to her back and under the hiding of her cloak. They are both to short to be swords and are to long be daggers.

She always brings a long dress with her, and the couple of girlish things she could salvage before she kicked out of her old home. Gabriel uses these when she wants to get into things without being noticed, or when she wants to loose herself within crowds.

Associates:

Shari- Shari helped her break into a broken down warehouse, though at a very high price.

Daniel- Almost caught Gabriel when she was trying to eliminate a rich woman.

History:Gabriel was born a bastard’s child in the kitchens of an Inn, where she was nearly murdered for being born in an unholy manor. Her mother then approached the supposed Father and forced him to take them in. When she was three Gabriel’s father died from a fishing accident. Her mother said it was an accident, though deep down she knew it was because her father couldn’t support a growing family.

Gabriel’s mother couldn’t afford to take care of her daughter and became a prostitute to pay to keep the two of them alive. Gabriel would often steal from the men that would come to her home and would often take more then she battered for. Gabriel would often be hit, whilst her mother would watch with salty tears streaming down her face.

Her mother died when she eight from an unforgiving sickness, forcing Gabriel onto the streets. One of the servants from the Inn where she was born took Gabriel in and forced her to work. It was here where was blinded when she tried to steal from a duke. Boiling hot oil was spilt across her eyes, vanquishing the best of her sight.

Gabriel took off after this leaning towards the life of crime. It was when she eighteen that she actually collected her first bounty, and ever since she has been cradled as a merciless killer.

Name: Admiral Benjamin Hargreaves

Gender: Male

Age (18+): 27

Profession: Benjamin Hargreaves likes nothing more than the taste of salty air in the morning. Obliging such, his professional standing in the Navy sped him through the ranks to position of Admiral, giving him control over his own sea vessel, The SS Barcelona. He commands thirty men on his ship.

Appearance: Old Ben stands an average 6'1" and keeps his back straight and face forward at all times. Subordinates rarely look into his seafoam green eyes in fear of his authority. Behind his back, members of his crew tease him by calling him a pirate, for such he never robbed nor pillaged, but walks with a constant limp after an impact from a cannonball grazed his right leg in battle, injuring it permanently. He always wears his Admiral's Uniform and occasionally a brace on his right leg for support, but can rarely be seen in commoner's clothes while on dates with floozies from the raw side of Boston.

Skills: He is a grand captain and could turn a massive vessel on a dime, but his battle glory truly comes through when armed with a saber. His favorite sword, typically sheathed to his side, is affectionately called Maelstrom due to the swiftness of Benjamin's wielding.

Flaws: Other than his permanent limp, Admiral Hargreaves is highly superstitious. He refuses to set foot on another man's vessel unless accompanied by a sea-faring relic he calls his 'oracle', which is just a small idol of a Nereid carved from soapstone.

*Equipment: His Saber, Maelstrom, a collapsible telescope, a dagger inside his left boot, and a small vial of jade stones from Charleston, South Carolina that are fabled to give him good luck.

Associates: (I'll come back to this when I have more time)

History: Benjamin was born on a cotton plantation in Charleston, South Carolina. Shortly after his baby sister (Jenna)'s birth, his mother died of Scarlet Fever. His father relied heavily on Benjamin to bring in as much profit from the harvest as possible, and drove Benjamin to be a hard judge on himself. He first fell in love when he was seventeen when he met a fair young lady by the name of Diana Beauregard. The two courted an entire year, but were forced to part ways after Benjamin's father caught them in bed together the night before Benjamin's leaving for the military. He swore that day that he would never love again, but his vow proved void years later when he met a fisherman's daughter in Boston, Massachusetts named Eleanor Banks.

After serving in the Congressional Navy during the Revolutionary War, Admiral Hargreaves was awarded his own vessel, The SS Barcelona; he sails proudly under her flag to this day.
