~::{Story}::~
The year is 1703, and piracy in the Caribbean is at its height. Tired of the relentless raiding of their colonies, the European Kings have finally decided to put an end to their troubles. They have declared that there is to be a race in which Navy ships, merchant ships, and even pirate ships can enter, the prize being a substantial sum of gold and free reign in all European waters. Many eager crews await the start of this adventure; any sane pirate would be willing to join if there's a large amount of gold at stake, and being able to sail at their leisure would be an added bonus. The rules for the race are simple: There are no rules, other than the obligatory check-ins at several cities distributed throughout the islands; you don’t check-in to each of the cities in a specific order within a specific timeline, you are eliminated, very literally. Unbeknownst to the participating sailors, the finish line holds a trap as an attempt to restore peace to the Caribbean once more.

~::{Rules}::~
Yes, I said no rules, but that’s for during the roleplay! For the roleplayers, I expect you to follow the guild rules, as well as a couple that apply to this one. First of all, try and make this roleplay semi-historically accurate. And not too many different ships (I’m thinking like 5? 8 at the most); I want there to be crew members with their own struggles and roles on the different ships. Also, you can’t just seemingly teleport to the next location; you have to actively be sailing there.
Also, don’t post your profiles in the forums, PM them to me with the subject as the roleplay’s name. Don’t start posting until you get the okay from me!
Check-in locations:
arrow Port-au-Prince - Starting Point arrow Port Royal (now known as Kingston) - Check-in 1 week after initial departure arrow George Town - Check-in 1 week after departure from Port Royal arrow Cancun - Check-in 1 week after departure from George Town arrow Belize City - Check-in 1 week after departure from Cancun arrow Puerto Babezas - Check-in 2 weeks after departure from Belize City arrow Santa Marta - Check-in 3 weeks after departure from Puerto Babezas arrow Oranjestad - Check-in 1 week after departure from Santa Marta arrow Caracas - Check-in 1 week after departure from Oranjestad arrow Port-of-Spain - Check-in 1 week after departure from Caracas arrow Bridgetown - Check-in 1 week after departure from Port-of-Spain arrow St. George's - Check-in 1 week after departure from Bridgetown arrow Fort-de-France - Check-in 1 week after departure from St. George's arrow Plymouth - Check-in 1 week after departure from Fort-de-France arrow San Juan - Check-in 1 week after departure from Plymouth arrow Santo Dominigo - Check-in 1 week after departure from San Juan arrow Tortuga - Finish line (check-in 2 weeks after departure from Santo Dominigo
So, its actually within the time limit, so it can be like a few days before or whatever. If you arrive after the limit, you'll be eliminated, and as said before, quite literally. And it isn't really within a week of your arrival/departure, it'll be like Arrive in Port Royal after week one, George Town at the end of week two, Cancun at the end of week 3 etc etc. So basically, if you don't get to Tortuga at the end of 20 weeks, you'll have an extra special surprise for you.

Username: Character name: Age: Member of _____’s Crew Nationality: Weapons: Character Bio: Picture/description:
New ship profile:
Ship name: Captain's name: Short bio of captain and ship:
Participating ships:
Ship name: Vientos de Coraje Captain's name: Ceri Rodriguez Short bio of captain and ship: Ceri stole a ship from the Spanish Navy when they destroyed the town in which she had sought refuge. She and the few survivors tried to find refuge within the other colonies, even those not governed by Spain, and were denied entry to all. So, with no other choice, the ship and crew turned to a life of piracy. They constantly take in new crew members, whether they're runaways, castaways, or stowaways. Current crew members: 2
Ship name: Natasha's Lament Captain's name: Demyan Valkov Short bio of captain and ship: Bought by the Demyan's money for his half-sister when he was a dockhand. He assumed the captain role for her and became a merchant. He and his crew, friend, and half-sister were branded as pirates and went on the run upon "violating the crowns' rules of seafaring", or so. Really it just was for sailing wherever they wanted to, not for any acts of piracy. Current crew members: 1
Ship name: Lorem Occidere Captain's name: John Silver Short bio of captain and ship: John and Ray bought the ship for money and adventures. They helped people when they could, but that doesn't make them all good. They steal when they need to and kill when their threatened. They are quite the wealthy bunch, both being sons of monarchs. They take care of their crew. Current crew members: 3
Ship name: Anne's Pride Captain's name: Captain David Banks Short bio of captain and ship: After receiving a promotion, Anne's Pride was this ship to which David was assigned. He is entering this race on orders from the Queen. Current crew members: 1
Characters:
Username: Musiical Soulz Character name: Ceri Rodriguez Age: 26 Member of her own crew Nationality: Spanish Weapons: Rapier, pistol, throwing knives Character Bio: Ceri was raised by a wealthy Spanish family in a colony in Venezuela. When her parents were killed by a pirate raid when she was fifteen, she swore her revenge on all pirates and disguised herself as a man so she could join the Spanish Navy. She rose in the ranks until the day she was discovered. Expelled from the Navy, she was condemned to death and so Ceri fled. Ceri took refuge in a small commune not far from where she grew up. But the Spanish followed her, destroying the people she had come to love. Along with several other survivors, Ceri stole a ship and began a life she never dreamed she would have.

Username: Ty Gwynnia Character name: Demyan Valkov Age: 26, though he looks 24 or 25 Member of his own Crew Nationality: Half Russian/Half English Weapons: 2 daggers, an unused shortsword, and a decorative pistol. Character Bio: Raised by his mother in a port town in England while his father often went away on business, Demyan worked as a dockhand to fund his half-sister's dreams of owning and piloting a ship. However a woman as a captain wouldn't be very popular, so Demyan took the lead and they began a merchant's life. When they offered their assistance to a gruff bounty hunter, things went down the drain when they became friends. A merchant didn't commonly sail where he wanted to with no reason and made port anywhere it pleased him. Branded pirates, they were forced to live a more free life as well as more dangerous on the open sea. One night in a tavern, Demyan, his half-sister, and his friend were assaulted by soldiers of some navy they couldn't recognize. A fight ensued. Demyan earned a scar and his friend (who lost his right eye in the brawl) and half-sister were arrested. Now the only way he can free them is to pay their bail, an immense amount that he could only acquire through the race he learned about. Picture/description: Stands at 5'14", slight muscular build. Shaggy-ish red hair tied back in a small ponytail and light coppery-brown eyes. He wears a comfortable loose white shirt, black pants, black boots, and a leather belt. From it hangs a rarely used pistol, a shortsword, and a sharp dagger. The other is hidden. There's a scar under his left eye on the cheekbone.
Username: Rayne Engel Character name: Ellie Silver Age: 18 Member of John/ Ray's Crew Nationality: English Weapons: sword, pistil Character Bio: Ellie is John's little sister. She was so mad at him when him and Ray bought their ship and set sail. She's always worried about them and is always bugging John to tell her about his adventures. She's always admired him as an older brother and has had a crush on his best friend, Ray. They came home one time to visit, and before they left she sneaked onto their ship. She didn't make herself known until it was too late to turn back. John was mad at first, but she talked him into letting her stay.

Username: Rayne Engel/Strider the Eternal Character name: John Silver-Rayne (left) and Ray Burrns-Strider (right) Age: John 22; Ray 23 Member of their own Crew Nationality: English Weapons: both have identical swords Character Bio: John and Ray became best friends when they were children, exploring the land and dreaming of making it big one day. When they became older they bought a ship and started hiring crew. John is the main captain, ordering the crew while Ray does all the brain work, figuring money and costs. When they heard of the race, they thought why not, and signed up right away. Ray was looking forward to winning the gold, John dieing for the adventure of a lifetime. Picture/description: ![User Image](https://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j330/sporadickill/a2e1deaf44ecf9f683d61d9784c0af7a1247456114_full.png)
Username: Ty Gwynnia Character name: Jaque Ara---Nickname: Ara Age: He doesn't care enough to keep count. Member of Ceri’s Crew Nationality: French Weapons: A long oak staff, crossbow, and a scimitar with a beautifully decorated handguard and hilt. Character Bio: Found as a stowaway on the Vientos de Coraje, Ara claims that his life before is nothing of significance. Besides sailing often on the sea of many ships, he's supposedly recovering from being a noble's slave not too long ago and that any mentioned bounty on his head is an exaggeration.

Username: Musiical Soulz Character name: Captain David Banks Age: 35 Member of his own Crew Nationality: English Weapons: Rapier and bayonette Character Bio: David can not remember a time in his life when he didn't want to be a soldier in the King's Navy. Once he was old enough, David joined up and became a sailor in the name of the Crown. After narrowly surviving a few skirmishes due to pure instinct and natural leadership skills, David was promoted to captain. Though content with his current rank, David always felt like he could be more. He now awaits orders from his commanding officer in Port Royal, hoping that it will give him a chance to show what he's truly worth. Picture/description:
