The Golden Age of Piracy is a term used to describe a period of intense maritime piracy that occurred roughly between the 1650s and the 1730s. This era saw pirates operating in the Atlantic, particularly the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean, preying on merchant ships and engaging in various forms of maritime robbery. Sounds fun!

Geographic Focus:
The Caribbean was a major hub of pirate activity, with numerous islands serving as bases and havens. The coast of North America, especially the eastern seaboard, also saw significant pirate activity. Additionally, the Indian Ocean and the coasts of West Africa were areas where pirates operated


-Our ship, the "Gunpowder Storm" a frigate armed with 40 cannons under the leadership of Captain Francis Taylor and it's intimidating flag

Well, I would like the RP to focus on the Caribbean (maybe in 1717 so Blackbeard is still alive), but if you wish to travel to other zones I guess there won't be any problem as long as there is a good reason for it (teasures? lol). I would like to know your opinon whether we should keep this RP real or add some fantasy to it.

In any case here are some available positions from which you can choose for your character, others such as the Captain can be used by all the players as you guys see fit (perhaps some deep conversation between YC and the Captain, maybe YC needs advise, etc). Be aware the list is not complete as therewere many roles in real pirate ships and if we ever wanted to fill them all then the entire Guild, including Mahz, would have to join the Rp. If you wish to suggest a position make me know.

Additional notes (Do not take this as rules but I'm sure they will help us get along in a Rp with so many players and possible ideas)
0): discord.gg/rrB3FQY8 THIS IS THE LINK TO THE DISCORD'S OOC chat
1)I know female pirates did exist, and although they were not seen often in real life, in this Rp they will be something considered normal, cuz you know...it's an rp.
2)For understanding sake: I would prefer to use modern lenguange instead of what may be used at the time (Cuz english is not my mother tongue)
3)Characters mentioned on your post: Whenever you interact or simply comment YC's thoughts about other player's character make sure to @ the player at the end of the post, just to make sure we don't overlook a possible interaction. For examle : "Isabella saw Edric carrying some heavy boxes to the port, thinking she may be a hindrance decided to just watch" So I should @ Ducksworth. If the player wants to interact or not is their business

Well yeah, some light fantasy like some ancient treasure, a mythic city made of gold, the elixir of ethernal life etc.

-Complete name: Isabella Mercedes del Casttillo y Rojas, simply called Isabella, "isa" or "bella"
-Age: 26
-Nacionality: Spain
-Position: Cartographer
-Weapon: Cup-hilt rapier

-Biography: Isabella was born in a wealthy spanish family in Madrid, daughter of Fernando del Castillo Flores, a famous cartographer praised by his detailed maps that have helped the spanish Empire on their military campaigns. Unlike most ladies of the time Isaella showed to be quite an adventurous girl, eager to see the world with her own eyes instead of believing what was written on books. Since young she was taught to comunicate in english and french with the idea of finding a fine gentlemen for her, surprisingly for Fernando his daughter was much more interested in fencing and learning from his profession, and so instructed Isabella in the art of cartography and some fencing lessons. The years passed without Isabella finding a suitor as her interests were not very attractive for the men. By the time she was 24 her father Fernando died, despite the grief Isabella saw the oportunity to show her skills to the Crown, however the Monarch and the court rejected her services simply for being a woman. Feeling dishnored Isabella swore to make them regret such decition, she left her mother in Madrid and traveled towards England in search of a pirate crew to join, finally coming across the Gunpowder Storm and it's people, who did not hesitate to take someone with her cartographer skills in.
