Rp-Pillaging and sacking

[Jack Teach]

Ok lads, since Mel won't be posting one of these in a week, I've decided to make my own. This rp's realism level is three, meaning there is NO magic, or divine acts and some embellishment is allowed. I would prefer that none of the things in this rp will turn into some stupid argument about "spirits" or whatever, which shouldn't happen because this is a pirate RP and nothing else. And please, if some point of the wind, how cannons work, or the weather gauge is unclear or misrepresented. Message the person in their bloody dms! I dislike it when the rps become arguing grounds on how battle works, or some article of faith, or whatever, which shouldn't happen.


1. Try to keep things in character. Don't post something unrelated to the RP here. If you don't like this RP, don't complain about it here. Post a new thread or start your own RP thread if you don't like this one. I would actually be quite happy if someone posts a RP of their own so please feel free to do so.
2. You can control your characters actions-You can not control others. NPC's are fair game and anyone can control them, so long as its believable and in character. A guard for example shouldn't just up and decide to shoot an orphan for no reason-that is out of character. Anyone without a name will be considered a NPC, if you name a character but want it to be a NPC then just mention that said character is NPC in quotation marks after a post.
3. You are allowed to have multiple characters- but be reasonable. Don't flood the story with a bunch of your characters. 2 or 3 in one story is fine, anything past that is sort of pushing it unless you are really good at managing them.
4. Use Italics for actions, and try to separate things nice and neat. Also use paragraphs when needed. Quotations if for speaking out of the roleplay.
5. No editing of a post once you post it. The exception is to fix spelling mistakes or minor errors. It can be real annoying when someone posts one thing and another responds to it only to find what they responded too is now completely different.
6-Do not act on knowledge you know but your character doesn't- If for example Character A is being attacked in the tavern, and your character is in the church, you can't have your character suddenly rush to the tavern to help unless you can give a reason WHY he knows what is happening or he is rushing to the tavern.
7. The most important rule- Have fun.


Next post begins the story.

[Jack Teach]

In the city of Tortuga, a haven for some of the most vicious men on the high seas, a tavern in the dockside lies. Inside this tavern, sits a very rough and ready looking Englishman, with long black hair, a goatee and mustache, a tanned face, and captain's clothes, some flamboyant, other parts dirty, he wears a long and heavy cutlass at his side.The man's name, is captain john blackkburn, known more commonly as Jack Blackburn. Word has been sent out that he's looking for captains to recruit on a raid, an extremely profitable one .

[Zephore]

At a corner of the tavern sits a tall slim figure, with 4 flintlocks and a heavy cutlass. He stares at Jack Blackburn wondering whether to join or not.

[Jack Teach]

Blackburn calls to the man.

Oi, mate, do you have a ship and a crew?

im going on retreat so don't expect to reply for awhile.

[Zephore]

The man replies, with an ice cold voice

I do. The crew can sail the ship and die in battle of they need to, on my command of course.

completely fine

[Jack Teach]

Bkackburn smiles

Excellent. Would you be interested in some raiding?

[Zephore]

The man shrugs

I guess I wouldn't mind.

[Jack Teach]

He smiles again

Excellent. I'd like to get some more captains along, maybe one or two, so we'll wait here for a bit more before I tell ye me plan savvy?

[Zephore]

The man just shrugs again

Whatever it be, I'm patient

[Jack Teach]

Jack looks around

Nay, I change my mind. We may leave now unless anyone else is joining
