The Idiot Pirates of Ceaton Hall RP

[Dark Sweetie]

So here's a new RP for those of us hardcore RP fans. This is an RP dedicated to a group of pirates sailing the high seas, that are complete and total idiots. The biggest fool is the ship's (The S.S. Boot, a misspelled S.S. Boat - not the brightest pirates ever) captain and the smartest one amongst the squadron is the lowly ship swabber (aka a pirate ship janitor). Captain Ceaton Hall is on a quest to find the map leading them to the collection of the World's Greatest Jewels, all the while coming across plethoras of jewels, being too distracted by the call of the map to notice.

Cast list:
Ceaton Hall (Captain)- Spaz Queen
Arcadia (First Mate) - Saiaino
Dartmouth (Navigator) - x Tetsuya x
Shire News (Janitor) - Dark Sweetie
Chathan (Crow's Nest) -
Wilkes (Chef) -
Marietta (Kidnapped Damsel) - x Tetsuya x
Rowan (Captain's Lady) -
Temple (Prison Guard) -
Charleston (Man whore to the captain) - Dark Sweetie
Hopkins (Tribal Councilor) -
SeWannee (Knife wielding expert) - - Epic_Muffin


The Pirates are motley idiots from all over the world. All sorts of characters are welcome. Like x Tetsuya x suggested, tek-tek avatars for characters are a fun idea. You can pick one of the above characters as a starting point or create your own from scratch. Post character profiles no matter what though:

Position on ship: Janitor (smartest being on the ship)

She joins the ship disguised as a boy in order to gain experiences in life of which to write and to be able to return home, unrecognizable. Shire is her name as a boy (her female name was Filly Art).

Name: Charleston
Position on ship: Man-whore to the captain
Brief background: Before joining up with Captain Ceaton, Charleston had been earning his living by posing as an artist's model all over western Europe. His beauty was well-known but minimally respected because of his slutty tendencies with the artists for whom he posed, and for robbing them blind when they were too tired after an evening together to wake at his searching their objects. On the run from a furious Michaelangelo, Charleston hopped aboard the ship at port under the impression that it was a sort of oceanliner, only to discover his horrible mistake after shove-off.

Name: Dartmouth
Position on ship: Navigator
Brief Background: Marietta was born on a backwater island in the middle of nowhere. While out fishing with her 12 siblings, she flung the fishing hook into her own eye, blinding her in that eye. She grew up to become a navigator, using the logic that with one eye she could see better than anyone else since she didn't have the "distractions" of the other eye. She was enlisted by Captain Ceaton Hall on the grounds that she was willing to work and in exchange only ask for a room to stay in, since she was kicked out of her home by her family because she ended up blinding three more of her siblings on their next fishing adventure. With her superb accuracy and navigation skills, she promises to be a great asset to Captain Ceaton Hall and his crew.

Name: Marietta
Position on Ship: Kidnapped Damsel.
Brief Background: Dartmouth was born into the royal family Borovonia, and raised as such. She always received the best, whether it came to food, clothes, or company. She became a bit of a snob, loving nothing more than looking down on anyone and everyone for things as small as the food they ate, the clothes they wore, and the company they kept. One day in Borovonia, Dartmouth was visiting a soup kitchen protesting the waste of valuable food stuffs on peasants, when suddenly the crew of Captain Ceaton Hall landed ashore, aiming to rob the local soup kitchen of all of its food. In the process, she was struck by Cupid's arrow at the sight of Charleston and decided to spice up her life and sneak onto the ship. Once she was discovered by the crew, she demanded they treat her as royalty since she was in fact...well, royalty. This bad mood on her part led the pirates to take her hostage for an undecided ransom, without a note, for an undecided ammount of time.

Name: SeWannee
Position on ship: Knife wielding expert.
Brief background: Before he boarded the ship, SeWanne had traveled the world, searching for worthy opponents who could challenge his skill with blades. After finding a few here and there, SeWannee found the S.S. Boot. The sea being the only place he hadn't looked for opponents, he quickly boarded the ship, and realized just how much he fit in with everyone else.

Shire had been scrubbing the deck when she heard her name spoken. Or at least her alias. One of the sailors had hopped aboard unaware that he was horribly prone to seasickness, and had taken to throwing up all over the ship. As janitor, it was Shire's job to clean it all up.

But hearing her false name spoken, she spun on her knees and surveyed the scene. Her real name was Filly (short for Fillenna), but she had adopted to her new self-assigned name quite easily. Only one time had she ever not caught someone speaking to her, and she blamed that on a particularly nasty sunburn. These pirates were just stupid enough to believe a sunburn affected one's hearing.

And from the looks of what she saw, there was a new pirate on board the ship, and for not having the common sense to jump off and swim away, Shire knew he was just stupid enough to belong here.

Shire scowled at Marietta's back. She had been so close to being finished. Marietta was such a priss. What was she even doing on board a ship like this? Shire still wasn't all that certain, but she had a feeling it was going to lead nowhere good.

But in the meantime, there was still the matter of the new young man on board the ship. The Captain had said to hose him off, although Marietta had just clarified the man's point more clearly (in a way very similar to that of the tavern wenches who worked at the local inns). But even so, the captain had been known to ignore obvious points (Shire had heard him do it several times within his first week and had no doubt he would probably do it again this time. Although one never knew. Captain Ceaton seemed like the type who could surprise you (the rubbish he spewed from his mouth did often enough at least).

So Shire walked over slowly to where the gathering of folks was taking place across the deck. "Do you want me tah git the hose, cap'n?" Shire asked, coating her voice with a slight accent and hoping beyond hope the captain would say no so she could get back to what she'd been doing beforehand.
