Ok, guys, I haven't done anything up here since my return, and I was almost literally hit with this one while in my "Colonial Experience" class. Here's the basis:
It's the year 1654, and the British have recently obtained Jamaica and other colonies in the Caribbean. It's the Golden Age of Piracy and the island of Jamaica is a center for pirates, brothels, taverns and trouble in general. Over the short amount of time that the British have owned this island, a particular group has become a real thorn in their side and a dangerous force to be reckoned with. Although thus far they've only heard each other's names, nothing more, they are about to meet, and the British are about to find that they've bitten off more than they can chew.
Among this group are Keiko Gildaren, "Death's Mistress" as she's known by those unfortunate enough to have crossed her, Captain of the Daemon Star, a formidable, man 'o war-style ship. And there's her partner in crime (literally), Harlie, Captain of The Stardust Morning. Unfortunately, business has been slow as of late, but a break-through may be at hand for the two and they've found themselves in Port Royal searching for new crew members to take on (much to Keiko's dismay).
Name: Keiko Gildaren
Age: unknown, some aren't even sure if she's HUMAN
Height: 5'1"
Weight: ???
Build: slim, petite, has some athletic build to her.
Hair: White (though she appears fairly young- in her twenties), and roughly shoulder-length and thick.
Eyes: Electric blue
Clothing: White, musketeer-ish shirt, four black belts and tan trousers under thigh-high black boots under a long colonial-style crimson and buff coat. Also wears a black wide-brimmed hat with a red band and feather.
Pref. Weapon: An ornate rapier with a demon's claw and angel feather pattern on the hilt. She usues it on conjuction with her pistol (with which she seems to be a little trigger-happy ^^;)
Personality: NOT a woman to be crossed. Keiko is as short-tempered as they come, and frankly doesn't care. She has the tendency to shoot at any of her crew members (or people in general) who may question her or piss her off too much. The only person who has no fear of that is her first-mate, Miles, with whom she displays one of her trademark qualities, that being if she DOES allow herself to get close to someone, she tends to be harder on them, pick on them a bit, etc. She is ruthless, but deep down does have a just streak in her. It just needs to be brought through her shrewd, slightly money-loving side, lol.
Name: Harlie
Age: unknown, though it's guessed that she can't be any more than 25.
Height: 5'10"
Weight: ???
Build: Tall, thin, and lanky
Hair: Red, LONG and braided (wears little trinkets in her braid, like beads and one or two silver charms).
Eyes: Purple, oddly enough.
Clothing: Loose-fitting Jack-Sparrow-ish shirt, loose, comfy worker's pants, boots, one or two belts, and a purple bandanna on her head.
Pref. Weapon: Cutlass with odd engravings in the blade. It's thought that they give the sword questionable attributes, but no one knows for sure.
Personality: Of the two, Harlie is the pirate who's in the business more for the adventure and challenge thans he is the money. Known for being the more merciful of the two, until one actually manages to piss her off (which is rare), in which case she is a force to be reckoned with. True, she hasn't had much of the formal training in fencing as Keiko has, but she learned enough from her previous Captain before getting her own ship. She has a cheerful, friendly demeanor and sees her crew as her family, of whom the closest is HER right-hand man, Stud (so-called for his MANY piercings).
Ok, so ya'll are welcome to submit your characters for approval!
