[i]In the 18th century, sea travel was at an all time high. With the discovery of the New World, many people were beginning to venture out into the stormy seas with different objectives in mind. Perhaps it's to conquer land and gain fame, have a new start, pan for gold in the New World, or pillage and plunder the plentiful ships foolish enough to challenge the pirates. One reason that has everyone looking towards the ocean, is the legend of buried treasure...

Many stories of treasures call out the adventurous, and it's true that the discovery of such treasure will make you rich beyond you're wildest imagination. Yet one story stands out from the others. The real name of this treasure is forgotten, as it is an ancient tale. Now, it's known as The Touch of Midas. It's rumored to be the single greatest group of lavish jewels, gold, silver, and valuables. The ownership of such a treasure will easily make one the richest person in history. Not only that, The Touch of Midas is said to have been blessed with magic. According to legend, the finder of The Touch of Midas will be able to turn the tides, control the winds, bend the entire world to their will. Whether The Touch of Midas will be used for good or evil, is solely up to it's lucky discoverer. A divine being is said to have hid The Touch of Midas to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands...

Due to the wealth and power one could gain from finding The Touch of Midas, many people are on the search for it. Many countries, including Britain, France, and Spain have sent people to go look for it. Many hopeful commoners have scraped money together to afford a ship to find The Touch of Midas. And of course, the pirates were scouring the waters as well. Will you join the hunt for The Touch of Midas? And thus, our story begins...[/i]

I apologize for the crappy intro, I unfortunately didn't have the original introduction saved, and it was lost... :(

This is mostly a PIRATE RP, but you're not limited to being part of a pirate crew. You will have the option of being anyone you want, and that would include the King of England, should you choose to be so. The possibilities are limitless! You can be the captain of a pirate crew, or even an angry Native American, or perhaps a slave imported from Africa. Are you actually just hanging out in this world because you can? Okay!

This roleplay won't be terribly realistic, so expect some fantasy-type elements such as being attacked by a sea monster. You will also be able to choose a "special ability" to aid you in your quest to find The Touch of Midas. It will be elaborated more in the OOC~
