[Lady Akumaka]

Character: Lady Akumaka

PotBS Forum Name: Akumaka

Roleplayer: Yes. I have played more MMORPGs and MMORPG betas than I care to recall. I also play classic pencil & paper RPGs when the opportunity presents itself, true roleplaying.

Ship Name: La Reine Noire

Character Backround:
Born into a rich political family of French nobility, I grew up knowing the luxuries in life. But the more I learned, the more I hated. I hated the fat merchants, who would trade the very souls of men so that there belts would jingle with coin. I hated the politicians, toying with lives for there own pleasure and for the power and position they so desired. I hated myself for being affiliated with them. I hated them all for the blind eye they turn to the common world.
But that is fine. I will smash there ships. I will sink and steal there precious cargo. I will pillage there towns and I will burn there mansions. And before the end, I will make them see.

This character is a loner by nature, but more than willing to help others who would do the same for her. She has a strong sense of honor, and upholds her own code of morals.

Reason for joining:
It is my experience that the best way to learn a new online game is to do so with a group of friendly people who can all help one another along the way. Of the various pirate guilds posting on the PotBS forum, this one already seems to be very well organized, unlike most which are barely beyond the concept stage. I choose to be a pirate as I do not like to be bound by the rules and loyalties a nation demands.

[Capt. Jake Bloodeye]

Character: Jake Bloodeye

PotBS Forum Name: Kaiser43

Roleplayer: yes

Ship Name: The Night Terror (The ship I choose, from corvette to 64-gun)

Age: 19

Character Age: 24

Character Background:
Years ago, I was in the Navy. Rumors were that I was to be promoted as captain of my own ship.
This did not please a certain governor, who's nephew was to be the next at all cost.
He then used of his powers and had me accused of working with the pirates that sunk my commander's ship.
I was treated like scum, they even called me a demon for having committed such treachery on my own commander.

As fate would have it, the day of my execution, the port was attacked by pirates, and I managed
to talk them into taking me with them. I fought my detainers and left with an injury to my left eye, but I don't regret my actions, cowards like them need no mercy nor sympathy.

Now I am known as Jake Bloodeye. I learned to take life as it comes,
however, I do intend to give this governor a visit, and show him what happens when you mess with a "demon".

My character is loyal and values honor above all else.
He will help those on his side, but gives no quarter to those who might stand in his way.

Reason for joining:
I played many, many games, and most of the clan I joined died, because they we're never well organized, or had inside conflicts.
I'm looking for a guild that is
serious and organized, that will not crumble under its own weight as time passes.
You guys seems to be the right choice, Yarr!

[The Black Dog]

Chracter name: Captain Rourke "Black Dog" O'Connor

PotBS Forum name: Ard_Ri

Roleplayer: for life, started at the tender age of 8 with the white box D&D set, since then many different games (both pencil and paper and computer)

Ship's Name: The Wild Goose (eventual desired ship: Brig or Cutter, fitted out to be a hunter)

Character Background: Well gather round mates, for my story is one of woe and hardship. It all began in the year 1689 when that godless dutchman King William of Orange invaded Erin. The Irish army put up a good fight, my Pa among them, but the English were too many and we were betrayed by that blasted coward James. So King William Exiled those Irish soldiers who refused to grovel at his boots and so me Pa and ma went off to France. My Father joined that famous Irish Brigade called the Wild Geese, and fought bravely too, earning himself much renknown. I was born 1697, a year of peace for the most part. My pa continued to fight for French earning himself plenty of reknown, but he stilled pined for the home he'd once known, that sparkling jewel of an Isle, Erin.

Then the war of the Spanish succession broke out and my Pa died in the battle of Brihuega in 1710, me mum died shortly thereafter of heartbreak. I was left a tender youth at the age of 13 orphaned by a cruel fate. I joined a French Privateering ship, the Mont-Blanc, as a ships boy, but those smarmy blaggards treated me no better than a dog (thats where I got my nickname on account of me shaggy black hair). So when the frogs got themselves beaten by some pirates I happily joined up. Since that day its been a pirates life for me mates, an' never a look back. I finally saved enough loot to buy meself a ship and now I'm me own captain by god! I'm naming it the Wild Goose in honor of me Pa.

I've no love for the British, for what they did to me Pa, no love for French who spat and kicked me when I was their boy, no love for the Dutch who spawned that blasted King William, may his bones rot! and little love for the Spanish, whom me Pa died for and I never once saw a cent or even nod of gratitude from the lot o' them.

Reason for joining: I'm looking for a good RP oriented guild to join with a mature and friendly attitude. I'm very interested in PotBS (and the game isn't even out yet!). I want to join a guild that is the right size (not so big I'm anonymous and not so small I never see anyone in game) so I can help contribute to something in game bigger than myself. Also I want to be a pirate and this site looks really cool (I enjoyed the articles on the homepage, even if it was stuff I mostly already knew).

[Cap'n Worley]

Ahoy mates! I've unlocked all of the member boards so passwords are no longer needed.. I see no need to lock them until the game launches. The Boneyard is still under lock and key, its where Thorne keeps is whiskey and treasure maps.. Cannot have you lot into that chest!

Ive located my copy of frontpage and will resume website updates as well as giving the old girl a face lift. Im currently moving and do not have an eta on the expected start of the repairs. As soon as I get settled and have HIGH speed internet access again I will let you all know. Yes Im aloft on the seas in a dingy. God help me, dial up is going to be the death of me.

When Im ready to start I will start a new thread to let you know Im ready. Cap'n Thorne will forward me his promotion list, so now the time to put a few coins in his pockets.

A rather large wave is heading my way maties so I best get a rowing. Arrrrrgghhhh!

[Capt. William Thorne]

As luck would have it, I am *ALSO* moving in the next few days (June is the most popular month to move). I'm heading from the shores of the Pacific to the gulf of Mexico (LA to Austin) and will be out of reach from Monday the 26th to probably the 7th.

Glad to see the activity is picking up and glad to hear that Worley found his frontpage! In the meantime, everyone please make yourselves at home and start planning for the high seas.

Long live the Black Fleet!

[Walter Deat]

Character Name: Walter De'at

PotBS Forum Name: WalterDeat

Roleplayer: Yes! I've played EVE, Everquest 1, DAoC, AO, and several other games I can't even think of. I like roleplaying when everyone else is in the spirit, although I recognize its not possible to do so all the time.

Ship's Name: The Sin of Injustice

Character Background: Walter De'at knows very little about his past. He awoke one day on the shore of England. He knew what his name was... He knew his age... He knew something terrible had happened. Other than that his head was killing him, and he had some idea that was the reason he remembered little to nothing. Ever since he has been searching for his past. He assumes that he was a sailor before the accident, because it all comes naturally to him. Adventure awaits...

Why your interested in joining the Black Fleet: Like many others I was looking through the forums on the main POTBS website, and the community FAQ site. The name of the fleet caught my attention first, and then reading your articles, and rules of engagement really impressed me. I want to pirate the seas, but like the articles suggest, I am not a maniacal murderer. There is a method to the madness... We must stick together to survive against the powers that would take our freedom away! Arrr!
