Adela Sheppard has suffered great loss at the hands of Captain Jean Foccard, and she is ready to take revenge. Now she needs a new crew to go with her new ship. She's got fire in her chest and two days in Port Royal to find her crew before she can take her revenge by stealing Captain Foccard most prized treasure from him, famed to be worth more than your wildest dreams.

Hello, welcome, I hope you love pirates as much as I do. Basically my character has a lot of experience with pirating and is now the captain of a ship and is looking for a crew so she can get revenge on Captain Foccard. She will find all of your characters in Port Royal and will recruit them for her crew. If anyone needs a list of possible roles your character can fill on a ship, let me know. So far we already have a first mate

This is also a continuation of a previous rp. As of right now, there are only two other people from the original rp, which I'll link below. Please read the intro and my character's interaction with the other two participants's characters. We'll go more or less from where the rp left off.

One more thing: I wouldn't be able to be super active. My goal is to post at least 1-3 times a week, it might be more, it might be less. I would expect everyone to be around the same level.

Now the fun stuff.
Rules!

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s Rules

1. Be nice to your fellow rp-ers.
2. Please make your characters diverse and interesting. Piratesweren't just straight white men.
3. Romance is okay, just don't plan it, let it happen. If you must do something saucy please take it to pms.
4. I can prohibit you from joining for any reason and it may simply be because your writing style isn't right for this rp. If I haven't rp-ed with you recently, I may ask you to provide me with a sample of your writing or a link to a recent rp you were/are in.
5. Please ask me before joining and/or making any big plot decisions (you can pm me about those)
6. Please give long, detailed replies. No one-liners
7. I've heard different things about how much lgbtq people were accepted by pirates, but we're just gonna say pirates in this time were really accepting.
8. I have the right to and probably will add on to these.

(Context: This is the introduction of one of my characters in a character chat. If you want me to cut down on the paragraphs, I can gladly do so.)

A middle-aged woman emerges from the thick of the woods in a bright yellow burst. Her long brown hair pools down to her hips where two SIG P226s rested on each side. Looking at her hands, where the small remainder of the yellow pulse she came from, the woman smiled faintly, wrinkles creasing under her eyes.

"I guess he still looks after me after all." The female puts her hand in her pocket for a second, remembering something distant before returning to the situation, smirking a bit at the bear.

"Thame's Ice Bear, huh? Really could have named it better, am I right?" The New York accent from the female was faint, hinting to where she called home, when really she had called lots of places home once. She couldn't imagine her life without Him revealing a sliver of the universe's secrets.

"Let's get rid of the beastie, aight? Don't want you people to die now." Unholstering the Sauer pistols, the woman smirked as she fired twice at the beasts left side, only one of the shots piercing through the bear's icy fur. A small trickle of silver blood oozed out.

"You there! Draconian! Aim for its underbelly! I'll keep it distracted!" She closed her eyes and a surge of golden energy bursted from the woman once again, but this was different from before. It seemed like the energy of gold was swirling around her, like she was the eye of a golden hurricane.

C'mon… where are you? No… No… No… Ah yes! There! In her head and the bear's, the newcomer held part of the bear's conscious using an ability she was able to finally master after 32 years. The bear in the forest let out a howl of both rage and pain, more of the silver blood pooling out of the beast's mouth, as it continued to charge to the hunter who killed their family.

(:D thanks! Okay another question: the second character I have in mind has a 2 year old son that would be with her, is that alright or should I pick another character?
