Definitely. I think that it would be a great little addition to have basically a profile of our pirates where we could, if we wanted, include a back story. I know that I'm not the only one who has one already written up in my head.
 I just think that it would be a great way to personalize the game for us players a little more beyond choosing clothing and mundane things such as that. Again, use the little '?' in the options panel and suggest away!

post your pirates lore
post your pirates lore or backstory here. explain how he got to where he or she is now and how he or she was thrown in bilgewater jail by the brits.
ill start. sam "hullsteel" got his name from when he became admiral in the french navy his gift was a ship that was made entirely out of steel. after 8 years of sailing it around and sinking enemy spanish ships, it eventually gave way to a spanish war ship captained by commidor avaricia.avarcia was promoted to admiral shortly afterwards. in sam hullsteels shame, he was kicked out of the french navy. 5 years later,he saw an ad for the french seeking recruits from perrile de porc. he tried to steal a british ship to go to de e'table de porc but was caught by lord beckett(who had teamed up with avaricia and the spanish) and was thrown in bilgewater prison where a month later, right before his shipment to kingshead for his execution, jack sparrow saved him and sent him off on his adventure to get back the black pearl and fight for the french to hopefully become admiral once again.

Zeppers was a simple family man. As a boy he worked on the family farm making him fit and strong, but as he became a man he wanted to see more of what the world had to offer. Soon, he found himself in Port Royal. Things werent going well for him, he was broke, not a schilling to his name. Tired and hungry he wandered about Port Royal looking for a chance to make his mark. He was walking along the street one evening, when suddenly everything went dark.
He woke up with a bump on his noggin in jail, and none other than Captn Jack was there, what an odd fellow, he had a rather interesting way of twisting his words. Zeppers seeing his own destiny may somehow be connected, offered to help Jack get his ship back... And here, our POTCO story begins...

i kind of meant how he got in trouble, with the brits(eitc and navy)
and why he is joining the french or spanish(or why he or she isnt joining either) and things like that. even if he was like commidor in spanish or french navy.(my character was admiral for 8 years for the french, so thats taken unless your pirate was admiral before then.) thats what i meant.

Ben Gunn was a quiet man from the seaside town of Conwy Bay,Wales, he joined the British Navy at 17. During the Queen Anns War Gunn was a privatee, but when a Spanish Ship sent him to the bottom, Gunn was left stranded on a deserted island for years. when he was finally rescued he quickly went back to work privateering, not knowing the war had ended 6 months earlier making pirating a crime. when he sailed into Port Royal with his plunder he was quickly arrestedand sent to Bilgewater Island to await his hanging. One night while he was asleep a new visitor showed up at the jail and turned out to be none other than Jack Sparrow
 . When jack set him free Ben agreed to help him recapture his ship back from the British. He vowed to get back at the British for crossing him, and the Spanish for causing him to be stranded on an island for 5 years and causing him to become entangled in the massive war of pirates vs the undead, the undead vs the British, British vs the pirates, and french privateers vs Spanish Privateers.

It'd be cool to write a lore of us ingame, where, if Disney approves of it ingame, we can use it. Anyone can see it by clicking on "Lore".
Ah, well, we need not start talking about the many legends of that inestimable pirate League. We need not tell how he outwitted Jolly Roger, escaped his service, brought his undead ruffians to lie in their true graves at the bottom of the sea, nor how he escaped from the toughest of prisons at Kingshead using nought but a chicken bone, two-timed Lord Cutler Beckett, escaped assassins of the the black coats' order, and outmaneuvered the fleet of the pirates' hunters in a slide of a canoe, a half-destroyed piece of a sloop. Nor do we need talk about how he outmatched all but his own crew in the midst of pirate to pirate combat, utilized the curse of the Aztec gods to bring down the foulest creatures, joined with the French to bring down his enemies in the Spanish, led his French pursuers to drown in the midst of a Carribean typhoon, and, in the doing of all of this, pitted both Captain Avaricia and Captain de Porc into mortal combat against each other. Aye, the tallies have been cast: the mightiest powers all want League, and, in not trusting their own crews to bring him in alive if caught, have ordered him dead. But a new rumor has surfaced: League is dead and living at both the while, casting his lot among the buzzing flies. At the heart of this rumor came up another: League has the tongue of a serpent. To listen to it is easy, but to fall at this easy drop is to walk into the pit. Do not listen to him when you see him. For all his words he is nought but a target, devoid of a mouth. I want him dead. For the man of yours that catches him, an entire fleet of War Ships shall pale in comparison to his reward. And, as for your reward, well, let's just say that the record you've amassed will be proven as much a legend as any legend of League. Signed, Lord Cutler Beckett the Second P.S. This letter is written in scorpions' blood, the finest ink in all of the Carribean. |

I gave my namesake story of mine in the form of a letter in your other thread... shall I give Artful's then?
Aye, the Dodger was a thief living on the streets of England. One day, his thief brother among his thief family ratted him out on the streets, if nothing but to reduce his own sentence. At this point in time, he wasn't known as the Artful Dodger. Indeed, he wasn't known at all. He was only known to men as the Charmer, because one lady who he robbed dreamily thought of him as such. As labeled by the British Parliament's wanted list, he was the Charming Thief. Anyway, that is all beside the point. He woke up one day when he heard an unwelcome clicking noise. He opened his eyes, and, as his focus came and eyes crossed, saw a barrel between his eyes. "Make one move, and you're dead," he heard. Apparently, they hadn't known of the Dodger much, but were instead just going on rare rumors. For had they known that Artful knew all the laws, and heard all the tales, they'd have shot him on the spot. For the source of his charming came from his unusual source of knowledge: indeed, it came that in despite of all his knowledge, he paid no heed to it. "Fabin, run!" Artful cried. The man in power (indeed, he had the gun you see) turned to look at the door, but noone was there. Looking back down on the bed, he saw noone as well. Artful had vanished in the blink of an eye. Now as Artful tells it, he managed to stay behind the figure completely, out of the range of his peripheral vision. After the figure looked back at the bed, Artful had actually gotten behind the door. As the figure ran out the door, Artful slammed it shut. He had hoped to catch the man, but the man had ran out too fast. Artful had revealed his presence. Artful jumped out a window, and ran through the crowds. However, he was more than surprised when he saw filing through the crowd more members of the black guard. He started to take his time moving through them. Too slow. The man he had attempted to evade spotted him. "That's him!" The cry went out. The fellow guards knew their man. At one point in his escape, there was a dangerous stretch to cover. The crowd wasn't as tightly spaced. He sprinted full throughout it until he was cut short. It was a pistol round that had cut him short. He immediately turned back, and started dancing like a madman. Destiny had saved him: his pursuers had run out of ammo. For a second. They started reloading. He laughed real quick, out loud in a taunt, but in a burst as his time was short. Then it happened. As soon as he had let out his laugh, he was ready to run again. But his environment had changed. The door right behind him had opened. As he turned around to run, he slammed straight into it, and into the old lady who had opened it. (She was a favorite target of the Dodger, as irony dictates.) He fell unconscious. As the lights went out, he heard one of the guard say... "That has got to be the worse pirate I have ever seen." He then woke up in a cell, staring at a strange fellow, stinking of rum, wearing woman's makeup. "Ah, peanut... oh, I see you've come to. Captain Jack Sparrow's the name..." |

James Buffitt was a minstrel in Blackpool, but singing warn’t covering his head at night. He signed on with the East India Trading Company to earn some money to try and get his career off the ground. Lo and behold the EITC sent him on a galleon to the Caribbean. His first night in Port Royal he got drunk in the Rowdy Rooster with some guy named Jack. They had a grand time singing about Changes in attitude and Changes in latitude and a song about being the Son of a Son of a Sailor.
Jack and James decided to head to another tavern and exited the Rowdy Rooster only to encounter a Navy soldier outside. The soldier yelled “Jack Sparrow!!!” Two other soldiers that were standing in the archway down the road came running. James turned to go back into the Rowdy Rooster thinking of nothing but getting away from this “Jack” character that the Navy was after, but as he turned the soldier hit poor James in the head with the butt of his rifle. Out went James. He woke up the next morning in a jail cell with this Jack Sparrow guy. Jack told him “You look like I feel, mate.” Jack then proceeded to help young James escape with instructions to meet up with him in some tavern in a place called Tortuga. James, knowing his time with the EITC was at an end and that he would no longer be welcomed back in England, decided that the best course would be to find this Jack Sparrow and begin a new life as a pirate. And thus began the adventure.... |
