Character Name: Henry Avery a.k.a. Captain Dikus the Furious Character Age : 28 PotBS Forum Name: Dikus Roleplayer: Aye have played a few RPG in my day, cant tell ya how excited about PotBS I be Ship's Name: Illuminati Diamond Character Background: Born in England , Mister Avery , the son of John Avery a noted scientist. Henry grew up in an educated home, where he took an affinity to the science of the stars. One would often find him with his nose in the books of Galilao. It apeared his path was laid out before him. The Church however discourageing the teachings of science , as they directly conflicted with the teachings of faith, had become more bold in their actions. The same smear campain that had been waged for centuries had reached England, making the lives of scientists harder as the days wore on. With the turmoil surrounding him John decided it was best to put his sons talents to a more practical use , to ease the tensions about. It was at the age of 14 Henry was enlisted into the Royal Navy , to study navigation and to earn a career for himself. He kept to his books and proved to be a worthy apprentice. He would have a bright future with the navy. Assigned to the Princess Galley , a slave trading ship in 1710 , due to unusual circumstances. They were sent to the west coast of Africa and then on to Barbados to deliver the haul. On the morning of September 14th , the crew were alarmed to discover that a vessel was heading their way flying a black flag on the masthead. As she drew closer , the saw she was a sloop armed with 8 guns on her main deck and 10 swivel guns along the rails. There appeared to be 30 to 40 pirates on the deck. John Wickstead, captain of the galleydecided his ship was no match for the pirates. He set more sail and endevoured to escape, but the heavily laiden merchant ship was unable to throw off the pirate sloop , which gained on them and began fireing her guns. By noon the pirates came alongside and the chase was over. The next 24 jours were a nightmare for the captain and his officers at bay , while the crew looted pistols , gunpowder, and slaves. Henry and another seaman , William Gibbins the sergeons mate were forced to join the crew . After stripping the galley of everything of value the pirates released the ship and went on their way, leaving Wickstead and his crew to sail to Barbados. Henry was born into pirating.....
The rest of me story be me own, should I tell it t'would be over rum and I should expect Ill hear some more about yas. I have heard good things and could be willin' to join yer fleet .. unless I dont like what Im hearin' . So lets get down to buisiness mates.

Character Name: Cap'n Ethan Ender Age: 33 PotBS Forum Name: Ender Roleplayer: Yes I enjoy it when there are others to RP with. Ship Type and Name: Corvette "Twist of Fate" Interest in joining the Black Fleet: Yer articles sound fair and proper. Character Background: Cap'n Ender's history is shrouded in a drunken haze, he shall reveal more of it as he remembers the details. Needless to say I remember picking some pockets in Port Royal, some pistols being pointed in my face, a blinding white light, a hangover, the smell of salt air, scrubbing decks, a lot of rum, the smell of gunpower, more rum....and that's about it for now. Still don't know where this Parrot came from but he sure talks a lot of trash. ;D
I found PotBS about 5 months ago after leaving SWG and have been hooked ever since I first read the FAQ. I'm an avid PvPer, enjoy competition and the company of good friends. I'm a history buff with a particular interest in sailing ships as well as pirate lore. I'm interested in a guild of mature gamers out to plunder and pillage as much as humanly possible before we are caught and hung out to dry ;D
Oh, and I be game fer plundering some fat Dutch merchantman who be hiding behind the French flag, and the Spanish too......and maybe a few English ships as well. Did I mention me eye-patch limits me vision a bit so I don't be paying much attention to flags anymore...except black ones ;D
Anyway, you look like a good bunch of folks with an interest on PotBS so you sound like my kind of people.

Character Name:SeƱor Merenbak Mondragon
PotBS Forum Name:merenbak
Roleplayer: yes, swg till SOE decided to kill the game once for all.
Ship's Name: Intrepid fox
Character Background: Catalan Captain declared outlaw in Spain for conspiring against the spanish crown. Afterfew years of piracy in the northern african coast, my safe haven in canary islands has been detected, so i had to leave the area and move to the new world,looking for a better chance to plunder rich merchants.
Why your interested in joining the Black Fleet: I offer my talents to the Black fleet as a corsair because i believe in piracy as way of life instead of follow the orders of those who call themselves kings or nobles for no reason at all. If there s no rebels, there s no future.

Character Name: Pinkbeard Paddy or Paddy Pinkbeard (I'll flip a coin when the time comes.) PotBS Forum Name: "Jesus" Roleplayer: Yarr! Ship's Name: Bonhomme Richard Character Background: ...Yarr! Why your interested in joining the Black Fleet: You guys seem to have your stuff together when compared to the other guild websites I checked out, and I don't want to join a nation when the game comes out. Furthermore, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to your gnarly guild name.

Character Name: Alan Burke PotBS Forum Name: Alzxul Roleplayer: Yes, co-led the RP guild The Undead in UO on the Europa server for several years. Also RP'd on the persistent server HAZE on NWN. Ship's Name: The Crimson Cutlass Character Background: Alan was a drunkard living on the streets of London before he was press ganged into the navy and forced to work on a ship headed for duty on the Spanish Main. While on patrol there, the ship was attacked by pirates, and once again he was forced into something he did not desire. However his experience in the navy primed him for piracy and eventually realising how much loot could be made, he enlisted the help of some other pirates he had joined and took the ship by force. Why your interested in joining the Black Fleet: I've been searching for a good MMORPG since I left UO and to this day I haven't been able to find one. I've drifted from one to the next, and the reason I stayed with UO for so long was the RP. I'm planning to play a pirate, and I've been looking for a pirate guild which was professional and had elements of roleplay. Most of the other ones I've seen have just been hardcore players, who, while they didn't look immature, seemed to be only interested with the core game itself, not any enjoyment that could come from roleplaying or the like. However, clearly this guild looks like it's different!

Character Name: Captain Ethan Kirby PotBS Forum Name: insureu Roleplayer: Aye Ship's Name: Vengeance Character Background: Former British Naval Officer. Turned against the crown when his Commodore ordered No Quarter be given to the populace inhabitating Tortuga. The Commodores view of this was, anyone who houses, clothes, feeds or otherwise aids a pirate is a pirate. When he turned to defend the unarmed women and children he proceeded to fend off the onslaught of seamen charging forward, allowing many of the civilians to escape to the jungle for safety, however he was no match for the dozens of sailors under the Commodores command, they beat and shackled him and sailed him to Port Royale to await trial. He was found guilty of treason and the murder of 16 British sailors by the govenor and sentenced to hang from the gallows. In addition the crown felt it neccessary to strip his family of thier lands in Yorkshire. Captain Kirby would be dead if it weren't for an attack by a pirate fleet from Tortuga in retaliation of the slaughter of thier families. Hearing of Captains Kirbys defense of thier people they brought him aboard and sailed him to Tortuga for him to recieve treatment for his injuries. Countless months went by of recovery and when Ethan was able to walk, the Pirate Fleet Commander issued him a ship and dubbed it his "Vengeance." Being a former english officer, credited with the sacking of Havana, Grand Bahama, and Fort Caroline has no allies from those respective countries. His only option for survival was to hoist the black flag and meet his new foes head on. Fueled by the images of the slaughter and his familys fall from power, Captain Kirby has taken to the seas with a ravenous hunger for revenge aboard his ship, "Vengeance." Even with his desire for destruction of the crown, he still follows the Kirby family motto, "Patientia et magannimitas (Patience and Courage)."
Why your interested in joining the Black Fleet: "The Black Fleet," would give me the opportunity to exact my revenge against the British Crown, as well as see to it the other enemies of mine feel the bite of Justice. The Rules of Engagement set forth by the Fleet are honorable given the circumstances.

Character Name: James "Rack'em" Walsh PothBS Forum Name: Farmer88 Roleplayer: Guild Wars, FF, etc. Ship's Name: The Sails of the Shire (or just "The Shire") Character Backround: Irish rouge, enemy of the English Crown. Looking to fight the good fight, and assist in the destruction of England. Why I am interested in joining the Black Fleet: You guys look like a pretty tight group. Finaly, a clan that's not fighting with the Brits. Love Pirating, and I'm definately glad that this is not a cowardly group. Hoping to take out MANY lawmen during my run with this game.

Post by Captain Dame Honor Morgana on Feb 2, 2006 18:10:17 GMT -5
Character Name: [glow=red,2,300]Captain Dame Honor Morgana[/glow] PotBS Name: Honor Morgana Roleplayer: Yes, to a reasonable point anyways, but I won't certainly belittle a person who takes it to the extremes. That level just seems like too much work to me . But it IS entertaining. Ship's Registry: VanderveckenCharacter Background: Illigitimate daughter of English Duke, meaning to embarrass the family name by rising to be the Lady Scrourge of the Caribbean. Why I'm interested in the Black Fleet? Looking to move onto other MMORPGs. Tired of fantasy setting. PotBS seems very interesting and being associated with a small, mature (and hopefully broadly feared ) group has a particular attraction to me. Whichever squadren could use a Captain from the Mountain Time Zone will work for me. If the game map is slightly historical, I may work the Key's, Bahamas, or New Orleans, but that is subject to change when the game goes live.
