Characters
As of now, there are limitations on some character types! You are welcomed to make a soldier, pirate, privateer, or civilian character;
there are so many options. For information about the pirate hierarchy and the Code, visit the Pirate Culture page. All we ask is that you stick to the Colonial setting and keep in mind that we are low fantasy. Legends of the sea are included (mermaids, sirens, kraken, etc.) as they fit the setting but we keep it rather realistic with current technology and medical progression. Historical characters are allowed but be sure to speak to the moderator to discuss the situation.

Including character history is entirely up to the player - however, if you have a plan that involves royal/noble blood or is a fictional or non-fictional offspring of a historical figure, please run the idea pass the Moderator.
This is a closed setting so, please run your characters by the moderator before RPing. Some players further develop their character after a few RPs, which is fine but if any specifications are added, let the moderator know. And of course, you can make more than one character! If you would like a bit more background on the region, pirates, navies, vessels, weapons, or fashion of the time click the button below!
