Ok thought we needed a new Pirate thread since the other died about 2 months ago. Ok its 1750, The major ports of the carribean are owned by France, Spain, Britain and a few by Holland. However many other hidden ports are owned by Pirates which is us. Ok so characters, please no one man army type guys, we don't need a guy who can board the ship on his own and kill a crew of 300 with a knife and one pistol. Name: Captain Damien "The Bloody Irishman" O'Connell Age: 31 Weapons: Usually as a pistol or two in his belt when boarding another ship and a cutlass(see image below). Bio: An Irishman who went to the Carribean as at the age of 16 with his parents to start a new life. Unfortunatly they're ship was boarded by Pirates who killed all his family and took him and made him serve aboard their ship. Four years later he started a mutiny and took control of the ship making himself captain. Clothes: Long Red coat, black trousers, white frilled shirt and heavy black boots. Ok, our ship has 32 cannons (thats main cannons by the way, 16 on each side) and a few swivel guns which are packed with musket balls and fired at the crew rather than to sink. I decided to call the ship the "Lydia" and is currently docked in a pirate port called "Lost Haven", getting supplies and some crew. (A cutlass does look like a sabre but its shorter(Shorter reach thefore Cuts less -> Cutlass) and thicker

Looks like fun
Name: Carlos Lacey Age: 27 Weapons: flintlock, dagger Bio: Spanish kid who ran away from his abusive parents as a teenager. Has a speech impediment and thus doesn't talk much, though when he does it's in a Spanish accent and with a lisp. Was taken captive by Damien from another ship but helped him defeat his ship by giving up information on it; is still not fully trusted but is kept on because he makes a good lookout. Clothes: black knee-length jacket, red shirt, black trousers & boots, red gloves
^^ Is this okay?

[glow=red,2,300]Ceri, yes perfectly fine
Patches, your picture of a "sabre" is not a sabre. A Sabre is a short curved sword used by infantry during the 1780's all the way up to the crimean and boer wars at the end of the 19th century except for some cases where it is for a young member of the crew (someone who is about 14) to use a Sabre due to their height.
Also your pictures are of Hilts not the whole sword itself.
Just thought I should give a little lesson in weaponry but yes I think I will change it[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]those pictured are fencing swords phill. their the modern versions of those swords, but they would have probably also have been around, just not as popular as they are now. so yes they are the right swords for what you originaly said. they are the modern day evolutions of the swords you are thinking of.
But i the hilts are right for the style of the hilt, since you said it was nicked off a spanish chappy it seamed logical to asume it would be a popular spanish hilt. hence pic's about hilts is acceptiable.
and also can you give me a rank and tell me if the name is acceptable. me i'm keeping the sword cos they used similar in the film and they were fairly accurate. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]stanic over time swords evolve, fencing started out as a way of traning officers for using swords. when swords started to be used as a weopon les and less they truned into a sport, called fencing. the swords in phills form were unfit for traning so they becam slimmer and longer, lighter too. they turned into non leathel wepions with blunted ends. i personaly fence, so thats where the miscomunication has occoured. phill was talking about period swords which might have looked like the pic of the hilt i showed (the spanish one coes thats what phill said he was using) i wish to use modern fencing sword cos of the amazing abilities they oses over the older swords. ;D[/glow] so anyway patches and Kanye were as usual running back to the baot arms loaden with swag and a whole load of angry mob, the baot was ment to be leaving at 10 and it was 11, Captain Damien (or Captain O'Connal ?) had tried to hold the boat but had decided to make away and put this port down to Patches and Kanye, somtimes he didnt know who was worse the flee infested vermin or the monkey (patches doesnt realy have flees it's just a joke ;D)

[glow=red,2,300]Fencing swords are far thiner and bend because they are not designed to kill anymore. Rapiers are much broader and well personally are not really fit for training if the sword that will eventually be used to kill would be heavier. HOWEVER we are not here to discuss fencing and rapiers any more.
Patches, um....Third Mate [/glow]

Meanwhile paced his deck slowly drinking a cup of rum. He walked up to Carlos and slammed the cup down onto the ship. "By my Irish arse, where are they?" He growled "I...I..I'm su..sure they will ap..appear soon captain" Carlos stuttered.

[glow=red,2,300]sorry cez i think the posts are ment to read like this:[/glow]
so anyway patches and Kanye were as usual running back to the baot arms loaden with swag and a whole load of angry mob, the baot was ment to be leaving at 10 and it was 11.
Captain O'Connal had tried to hold the boat but had decided to make away and put this port down to Patches and Kanye, somtimes he didnt know who was worse the flee infested vermin or the monkey (patches doesnt realy have flees it's just a joke ). Meanwhile he paced his deck slowly drinking a cup of rum. He walked up to Carlos and slammed the cup down onto the ship. "By my Irish arse, where are they?" He growled "I...I..I'm su..sure they will ap..appear soon captain" Carlos stuttered.

[glow=red,2,300]Ahh thanks Patches, that makes it clearler [/glow] O'Connal growled something under his breath and paced to the other side of the deck. Carlos shifted his feet nervously, wanting to return to the crow's nest but afraid to disobey the Captain's command to stay with him until Patches and Kanye returned. O'Connal returned to his side, picking up his glass again. "Wait...Carlos said, before O'Connal could speak again. "Is...Is that them?" He pointed over the edge of the ship.

not wanting to be left be hind by the cast off ship patches and Kanye lept at the cut ropes trailing behind. As they franticly tried to climb up onto the deck the port guards opend fire upon him and the monkey. swinging was the only way patches could avoid the shots. Kanye had given up on his master and began to climb up his own rope, or rathe would have ih his master hadnt grabed him by his tail and yelled at him "What the Blazes you vial trechirous theving vermin why i ought to ... i ought to... i.. i ... i" his jaw droped at the sigh of what Kanye held in his outstreched hand.
[glow=red,2,300](que phill with a nessary item/object related to finding, unlocking or stealing some treasure, better still involving all three and some action, comedy and death for some minor crew members ;D)[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Whats odd is how you got introuble with a pirate port[/glow]
Kanye was holding a gold coin with something on it but that wasn't the time to think about it. Patches took the coin and stuff it into his pocket and tried to climb the rope.
"You stupid bastard!" O'Connell called from above "Now we'll never show our faces around this port of a year!"

"good day mon capitan" patches beamed back as he hauled himself over board "what in blazes are you doing looking so happy? thats the only other pirate port aside from TATUGA and we are now unable to ever return there" the captin spat as he proded patches ,who was laying on the deck stroking his monkey, with his sword.
"ahh mon capitan thats the point, it's a pirate port this sort of thing happens every friday, it just happens that today is tuesday" patches replied smiling "and what's that got to do with anything?" the captin replied curious "it means it's early" patches grinned why you sniviling vermin, you mean to say that is the one reasion we left so late with now damages to my ship!!! my ship!! "er captin beggin you pardin sir but were running low on rum, the cook just told me to inform you sir" said the young cabingirl who quickly scarperd "whys the rum gone? the rum!" cried patches oh yeh and see cap'n this is why we had to leave so early" he said removing the gold coin with the inscription from his pocket. uppon removing it both the captin and patches saw that it was more then a coin it was a medalition with coordinates. "well sink me" exclaimed the captin in suprise (i got it from a pirate lingo site) "that ther be the medalion of Jeann0t

Carlos was watching over Patches' shoulder. "The what, Cap'n?" he said. "This be some mighty fine plunderin', boys," O'Connel said, ignoring Carlos. "C'mon, let's be makin' ourselves scarse of this lovely little town. C'mon, back to your posts, longe-lizards. Get up that there riggin', Carlos, and get me a bearin'. Kanye, you comes with me and we'll share in some little details on how you be comin' about such a pretty little Medallion."

[glow=red,2,300]That may be pushing it a little [/glow] Carlos scampered back to the main mast and began to scale the rigging while Patches and O'Connel headed back to the Captain's quarters. O'Connel held the door for Patches before following him in. "Right then," he said, "Let's take a little look at this here trinket." Patches wrestled the medallion from Kanye's paws with some difficulty and handed it to O'Connel. [glow=red,2,300]Incidentally how do you pronounce Kanye?[/glow]
