[@TheIratePirate] A historical roleplay, eh? I've always wanted to sink my teeth into one, and You can't go wrong with pirates. 
So, character... hm... what to do... what to do. Oh, I have an idea, how about a powder monkey whose ironically has a loose cannon personality? Played around with an angsty/troubled teen archetype once, and right when I got a feel for him, the roleplay ended. Say, I give it another try?
