This sounds like it could be fun. Consider me interested! As for a character... how's an uneducated, hotheaded rigger/sailor sound like?

I was thinking she'd be the daughter in a line of lowly sailors, who decides to take to the seas after a huge argument broke out between herself and her mother. When she'd heard of the ship sailing out into new lands, she had managed to weasel her way on and sign on as a rigger. Her... charismatic personality might have had something to do with it.

If she's thinking of singing up with the navy (the ship is Navy until the mutiny), her charismatic personality probably won't be the saving grace she needs. She'd need to pass-off as a man, at least until the officers are dealt with. As a passenger however, she could have indeed run off to make a life for herself in the colonies. After that point, I doubt the pirates would be able to refuse her anything. Like... ever. ;)

I'd be interested as well.

I have a rough outline for a character. A Dutchman who was formerly a sporting competition shooter back in Holland. I was thinking of having him as just a passenger on board but could also enroll him as a simple sailor if it is more convenient for the plot. The Dutchman's reason for coming aboard is he's on the run and wanted for murder back in Holland, but managed to bribe his way out of the country with his competition winnings and made his way to England and plans to start a new life in the Caribbean.

As far as the setting goes I'm open to just about anything but certainly support a more historically accurate type of RP. If I can comment on the format of the RP I'm much more of a character based RPer rather than scaling things up to a nation RP but I really like the idea of settling an island with characters taking on roles to help the island prosper.

Of course before I get ahead of myself I'll await any sort of green light from the GM.

And green light you have. Could use more sailors. As much hardships as a career in the navy might provide with, the Service provided for a salary and three meals a day if nothing else, and they are not likely to ask too many questions. After all, a volunteer was better than prison dregs or the press no matter what!
