OPEN CASTING CALL: Treasure Hunters

[Sweetp4u]

ooc: this is a casting call for all who are interested in a little fun on the high seas

We have:

Me (The nice one) captain of one ship. And...

Poohlive (the mean one) Captain of his ship (unless we can mutiny and put him outta the running?) hehe

We are set some where in the 1600's (I hate remembering history, so no history lessons in this one), settled on an Island nick named *drum roll* Pirate Island in the Carribean. (no this is not a remake of the new movie but an old favorite with Miss Davis.)

Object is to find treasures, steal maps, compete against the mean one/ nice one.

Rumor is there is a HUGE treasure of BLACK HAWK'S some where in the sea. (classic plot) And both want it.. Who wouldn't? no this doesn't sound serious for an intro, but it's late and I'm working on it. Going to plot here and cast the thread, then get serious as possible (if at all) with the story line. should have everything..
Love, hate, war, romance, brawls, intrigue etc..

Everyone is WELCOME! The town is a sea port of course, leaves all kinds of possibilities. First mates, Constable, THE LAW! (icky) crew, enemies etc. Anyway post a character here we'll get to naming our characters ASAP and ships.

Both are established ships and crew basicly, but my character will be taking over her crew as her father has died leaving it to her. Anyway, its open for now on how the story will be classified. Serious or a parody type. Thanks for reading

Sandra

5'7", ass-length straight black hair, and curvy in all the right places. Doesn't mind showing off those curves, to the right guy, when I'm in the right mood.



I was growing weary of being the serving wench at the local tavern, the only ale-house in the salty little New England seaport. Standing on my sore, tired, and achy feet 10 hours a day, carrying heavy trays loaded with a dozen or more heavy mugs of ale. Smelly, drunken sailors constantly pawing at me. I needed a change, I needed some adventure in my life.

So when this beautiful woman entered the tavern, and started talking loudly about how her father had left her a ship, she was now the Captain, and she was trying to get up a new crew to go looking for treasure, that sounded like just the sort of change and adventure my boring and miserable life needed. I had been stuck in this gorforsaken hell-hole of a Puritan seaport town ever since my dad died in a sword-battle with rival pirates, and I'm sure I got my thirst for adventure from dad.

The Captain warned me that there might be male sailors on her new crew, but they were under strict orders: no unwelcome pawing. And with a minister on board, the men wouldn't be able to do anything I didn't WANT them to do. She also warned me that we might also enounter other male sailors, especially from the crew of her rival captain's ship. That sounded like fun, too: the chance to seduce a sailor from another ship from time to time, but only when I'm ready, and always on MY terms! A handsome, brawny sailor who hadn't seen a woman for months at sea, when I hadn't seen a man for months either, and he agreeing to MY seduction terms. Just IMAGINE the explosive passion of THAT! Now that's my idea of HEAVEN!

And most of all, I was attracted by the chance of discovering riches beyond imagining, maybe even having to sword-battle a rival ship's crew for the loot. Just like dad used to do! All of that sounded like the fun and adventure, the escape from my boring barmaid life, that I so desperately craved now.

I set down my tray of drinks, tossed my barmaid apron up on the bar countertop, smiled at the pretty young sea captain, and asked her breathlessly, "How do I sign up?"

For your approval:

Lt. Horatio Hornblower (enjoyed the books so why not *g*-no Not that kind of horn is blown either *L), commander of the His Royal Magesties sloop and pirate hunter.
Not a heavily gunned as a man 'o war, but much faster and more nimble given any wind at all.
Full crew and a contingent of Royal Marines on board.

BTW, as an FYI, two women pirates were captured and hanged for piracy on the high seas so, although rare, it was an EEO career. *LOL

Lt. Hornblower cuts a fine figure in his Royal Naval uniform. His broad shoulder and deep chest hint at his strength. His eyes have 'crow's feet' at the corners from squinting into the sun on the high seas and his blue eyes contrast with his tanned face.
He has stong, even white teeth and shows them alot as he prefers smiling to frowning.

He's taller that most, at just under 6' tall, but not all of the men on his ship and his brogue hints at his Irish heritage, keeping my own thank you *s*.

His temper can be quick and explosive once it's been set off, but rarely lasts long and he's not one to hold a grudge or harbor anger, ask his crew.

He's quick and good with his fists, sword or pistol, the ladies seem to "like his company" and his men are loyal, for his bravery under fire and willingness to lead from the from rather than just barking orders from the rear has made him a respected leader.

Ship is the 12 gun HMS Requium btw, who needs a crew from cabin boy to Royal Marines.

 

[Sweetp4u]

LOL PP, you would be a bad guy Sounds very good.

Pat, welcome aboard. The crew on My character's ship won't be all female, we're mixing them on both ships. Nice character, love it. This isn't the thread for the story, we'll post the actual thread once we got a crew of 'sea dogs' to cause trouble with

Welcome Aboard!

[Sweetp4u]

Damn, alright editing the top post down here. It didn't save last night.


THIS IS A GENDER BLIND STORY!

This isn't a typical story. We're not going by history and facts but fiction, so female's can take any role in this thread. Constable, A pirate, any roles are open to female and male alike. And it won't be saw as evil! lol

first mates, umm anything!

Course that does mean we can have male whores too hehehe


*kicks her pc* dang, sorry for the confusion all. I don't know why my edit didn't work last night

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

HEY! I be da good guy. I even gots a commission in their navy ta prove it, Seeeee *holding it up so's ya can read "Pirate Hunter" on it. *LOL*

Of course it's gender neutral.... just a wee factoid for a grin, as an addendum one got herself knocked up so she couldn't be hung until after the baby had been born.

 

[Sweetp4u]

You best behave in here PP *stern looks* And no OOC's in the THREAD, I run a tight ship.

lol I only say this because I've been watching and I've seen...

Anyway a physical description would be helpful.. And remember, you're not going to be able to catch bad guys very easily lol

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

Aye, Aye Capt'n, *G* but I always behaves myself just ask any ole one, wellll maybe not just anyone now that I think about it.

I don't want no stinkin' bad guys, well other than for the bounty and the prize money for their ships o' course, it's them wicked women's I wants. *LMAO*

I know, but we can OOC here. *G* And even talk about the Capt'n behind her back, figuratively speaking of course.




Okay. Will go back up and edit one in Pea.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Character Bio.

Name: Ashley (Ash for short) Williams, Captain of Mistique.
Age: 24
Description: Tall for a woman, slender from skirting rigging and such. Educated. Reddish Brown hair, Blue eyes with flecks of gold. Darker complextion from the sun. Strong and agile, quick on her feet.

Temperment: Stubborn as a mule, with a sharp tongue. Fiesty in other words. Ruthless when it's called for, but can be know for odd spurts of kindness to arise. (Good for being a captain)

Weaknesses: Allergic to Bees, and strawberries. Children and Family. Temperment as well.

Brief history: She's grown up on the island all her life. her mother died when she was young and her father was always at sea. The household staff raised her as best they could. She ran amuck until sent away to school in another country (wont say which one, it's not needed) She returned to continue to do as she damned well please, this is where she met up with Pooh's character. A few years later, her father died hunting the same treasure she will go after. Now she is the Captain of Mistique.

She is currently remanning her ship due to most of her Father's crew were older than the seven seas Some will stay on and some have left.


A few rules:

1. no controlling other's characters without permission.

2. please no endless mating rituals

3. be as realistic as possible in actions

4. have fun

There is no set in stone plot, each is free to have fun within the story boundries. (no aliens appearing ok?)

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

Mermaids or sea serpents okay, they aren't alien. *L* Just kidding of course... or am I?

 

[poohlive]

(lookings around, dishearted) Where... Where's my crew? I've got no one.
Maybe cause I'm the MEAN one!!!
Ok, fine. If you want to be in the nice, stuck up, straight and narrow, no drinking, no smoking, no sex, no fun, Goody two shoes little boat ride, I guess you can go on board the S.S. BOREDOM.

But, if you are a rowdy well to do pirate who is out for adventure, looking to conquer the 6 seas (we don't count the Artic... it's just too cold for decent pirating) wanting to drink til you puke, carry two maidens to bed in each arm, and have the rootin tootin'est time you ever could on a ship, then climb aboard my ship.
It is the S.S. Bilge Water.
Fastest, most elite and when you get down to it, prettiest piece of shit ever nailed together by a ship builder.
It is captained by none other than Thomas Delaine. A handsome, quick witted pirate with a heart of gold. He loves everything about being a pirate. 6 foot, long braided raven hair, clear sea blue eyes, and well proportioned. He has a captain's hat.
(whoo hoo! Captain's hat)

Anyone who wishes to become a member of the Bilge, please pm me or set up a character here. I am taking all comers as we speak... cause I have no crew.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Oh please! S.S. BOREDOM My backside!

Go to church! leave the pirating to the women... hehe


And ALL must post characters in here so I know who's in and who's not in plot with mild-manners good boy if ya want but post a bio here please

 

[Subo97]

Aye

Aye, Aye, Captain Delaine,

Melvin Morecock here, seaman extraordinaire. When I'm not getting drunk or hungover, that is. Other than my weaknesses for rum, women, gold, tobacco and occassionally spitting into the wind, I'm one of the finest pirates you'll ever meet. I got me a parrot, too, but be careful, he repeats things at he damndes of times. His name's Pete. Pete the pirates pet parrot. sorry, didn't mean to spit, sir. You just points me in the right direction sir. and I'll skewer your enemies and cheat yer friends.

[The GrandMage]

Arrrgh, ya salty devils, git yer asses a-movin'!

Name: Daniel "Salty Dan" Moore.
Age: 37
Ship: The Mistique
Occupation: Gunner of the Mistique

Salty Dan was one of the few sailors that hung around after Ash became Captain. But he was a good friend of her father's, and has a scar halfway 'round his throat to prove it. An inch or two shy of six feet, he's good a strong build from spending most of his time with the ship's cannons, and hauling around kegs of gunpowder.

Almost as good with his cutlass as the first mate, he's a fearsome man when holding a sword. But he's better with his pistols. A dead aim and his care for his weapons gets him a perfect shot almost every time. His knowledge and management of the ship's cannons make him an important member of the crew, and his build and ever-present scowl make him a fearsome man to many.

Despite a raspy voice from nearly having his throat slit by "mutinous bastards," Daniel is fairly good-looking. He's kept most of his teeth, and they're fairly straight and a close to white color. His features are strong and rugged in a way that speaks of masculinity and a life at sea. He's got a good tan from all the days he's spent out in the sun as the ship carved through the ocean, and a mop of unkept brown hair adorns his head. He shaves enough to keep himself from a beard, and has brown eyes.

Added Note: Daniel spent nearly three years in the employ of The Royal Navy, before he decided to leave the ship with a gaping hole in it's side and seek a career in piracy. His brother, on the other hand, decided that serving the crown was the life for him. So James Moore is in the employ of the crown. Interesting factoid or potential NPC, I don't really care. Just throwing it out there.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Hmmm

Just noticed something..

When the thread starts I will post a link to it, but I am changing the name to "BlackHawk's Gold"


Still searching for a wild few to torment Pooh.. Can't post the thread without at least two more. Anyone and everyone is welcome

 

[poohlive]

No one wants to be on my ship?

(sniff... sniff...)

Fine, whatever. Go aboard the Mistique, I don't care. (sounds more like the name of a drag queen than a ship, but whatever...) Go have your stupid little fun. I'll do it all by myself.


Hey... hey guys. You can be a part of my crew. You won't ever have to swab the deck. I'm creating an NPC... BOB!!! Bob's only job in the thread is to swab the deck of the S.S. Bilge Water. No one has to do that.
And we have Nintendo aboard the B.W. We have a pool too, and a sauna, along with a buffet that lasts all night long.
Come on over, the lounge entertainment tonight is none other than Kathy Lee.... OH, she won't be singing, we're going to make her walk the plank. Afterwards, a comedy floor show starring Gary Coleman and the Amazing Jonathin. (yeah, that's right).

Anybody???????

 

[Subo97]

Pooh's crew

Nobody?

I'm somebody. Scroll up.Me and my pirate parrot plan to plunge into peril with our intrepid captain. If no one else joins, I can be Pooh's private paltroon. I'm with you all the way, Cap'n, let's go capture some wimmins.....with gold necklaces adorning their heaving bosoms.
