Ok so as not to confuse anyone (including myself) this is Saber... in another life... NO! Wait thats not what i meant!!! oh heck.
Name: Aaron Fletcher
Age: about 25
Crew: He really really would like to be a bad guy, so can he join up with you Barbossa? I'm not even going to wait for an answer. He's on Barbossa's crew.
Appearence: Aaron is tall, about 6ft 5in in height. He is muscular and very good looking. His long blond, almost white hair gives him an other worldly appearence, along with his startling blue eyes. He goes about in a faint blue shirt and black pants. A white sash hangs about his waist, as well as a thick black belt. He wears black boots, but they have white designs, almost celtic, on them. His hair is tied back by a black peice of cord, but a few strands fall in his face. His weapons consist of his boarding cutlass, two pistols a long hunting knife, and his ability to break hearts.
Favorite pastime: Breaking the hearts of innocent (or not so innocent) young girls.
History: "Never really had one mate. Grew up in Tortuga, lived in Tortuga, will probably die in Tortuga. Joined Bossa's crew for alittle excitment, and to maybe see a few new women. I've used up all my resouces back home."

Name: Rhys Tolen
Nickname: Ry (known as the youngest Ry sibling)
Age: 19
Appearance: Rhys has warm blue eyes, that radiate kindness and warmth that draws many people to her. She has long wavy red hair and tan skin. All together she is not a horrible sight to look at. In truth it caused her many problems.
Personality: Rhys is generally a kind woman with good intentions in her heart. She is feircly loyal and will defend someone to the last once they earn her trust and respect. As with most things in her life, she lives with passion. She has never been able to experience any emotion without feeling it all the way to her soul.
History: Rhys was the last born of a family of five. She was the daughter of a sailor and barmaid, something that not many were too proud of. Rhys however, absolutely loved it. She used to sit on her father's knee when he was home and listen to his tales. When she was old enough, she began to follow her mother to work and helped out in the kitchens.
When the news about her father struck home she was 8 and it did not function. Her mother slowly slowly degraded and Rhys was forced to watch unsure of what was happening. When her mother died and they were taken in by friends of the family, she was quite confused. She did not understand why they weren't at home with their mother.
The siblings grew closer, helping each other through the difficult times. As they were slowly, thrown from the only shelter they had Avery ventured out until he met the 'boss'. Her older brother, as always, had taken care of his family and found them shelter.
Rhys steadily learned all the skills necessary to be a theif under the 'boss'. She learned to pick locks and pockets. She developed a keen eye for spotting valuables and learned to walk stealthily. She rapidly picked up the idea of walking in shadows and took it further learning to melt into them.
It was on her 15th birthday that her brother Ryley was caught on the job. The devestating knews reached her later that night that he was to be hung. She became depressed and refused to anything, but was necessary. She slulked in the alleyways looking for escapes and hating her life. She did not want to live without her brother.
A little while after her 16th birthday, the men began to take an interest in her. Coaxing her with food one night, one man drugged her and quickly took advantage. It was then that she snapped out of her stupor. She awoke filled with a cold fury and hatred for every man except her brother, Avery.
For years after, she learned to use her daggers to defend herself. She never accepted food or drinks from anyone and learned to live with her experience. The men learned that she would not kill them, and soon found out all they had to do was seperate her from her blade; if it meant taking a few cuts they could live. It was around this time that her brother stepped in. She was never sure if he found out what was going on or just walked in on her fights and took matters into his own hands. He was not afraid to kill.
After one particularily bad night, when her brother did not find her, she ran away. She stowed away on a ship intent to get as far away as possible. She was soon found and tossed into a short boat and left to die in the ocean. Luckily this led to her meeting with pirates.
Cause I'm extremely lazy and don't feel like retyping anything. But I'm in!

Name: Avery Tolen
Nickname: Ry (known as the eldest Ry siblings)
Age: 23
Appearance: Avery has cool blue eyes, with vibrant red hair cut short. He stands tall, at 5' 11", with a dark tan skin and a stance that shows pride.
Personality: Ry is a cold man. He takes everything that is thrown at him and keeps walking, letting nothing affect him. He only lets his close friends see him smile or show any emotion.
History: Avery was the first of three children. He was the son of a sailor and bar maid; Aiden and Samantha Tolen. He was raised with his sister and brother in a small apartment in Port Royal. Their father was rarely home, leaving him the man of the house from a young age.
When Ry was 12 the family recieved word that his father had been swept over the side of the ship, the Reviver, in the middle of a storm and no one had been able to retrieve him. The family was devistated, his mother became depressed. She stopped eating and skipped work as much as she could. Nearly a year later she died, leaving Ry to look after his younger siblings.
They had no family left, and friends soon became tired of looking after the children. They quietly drifted out of mind and took to the streets. Ry was 16, when their friends deserted them. This was also when he met the 'boss'. He was an old man that looked after theives. The 'boss' organized the crime in the city and protected his people. It was not well known that the few theives had banded together almost becoming a close family.
At age 19 he had become an expert theif, along with his brother and sister. They were one of the top ranked and they were often called on for the more difficult jobs. They quickly were named the Ry Siblings for their talent and closeness. His brother, Ryley, was caught during a job. The last that Avery had heard of his younger brother, he had been hung.
From that day on, life became worse. His sister, Rhys, became despondent. For nearly a year, she stopped responding and only did what was essential for survival. Avery on the other hand had lived to look after his sister. She needed it, too. She was the only woman in the family of theives. Avery often found himself in fights defending her.
He was beginning to loose his hope, when she came alive again. She came alive full of fury. For years they lived as they once had, in the streets, in corners, in any place dry. They scrapped for food. As much as the 'boss' helped, he could not provide everything all the time. Life was hard, but they managed.
As much as Avery hated to admit it, he was only in Port Royal for his sister. If he had a choice he would have moved away and started a new life for himself. However, she needed him and he could not leave her. He loved her too much. She was the only one of the theif family that saw any emotion out of him besides cold anger. That was until the day she ran away. Deciding that she would not be coming back, he hoped a ship and made his way to Tortuga. Leading him to the life of a pirate.
Once again too lazy to retype everything...

And he learned how to fight, however poorly.A year later, he left the gang (was actually thrown out, but he sticks to his story that he left the gang) and went on his own. Six years later, he found a pirate ship, and joined. He is known every were as Firian One Eye, and all officers of His Majesties navy hate his name, and would love to get their hands on him! Physical Description: Firian stands a good 6'2, and is a skilled swordsman, although He is considerably strong. His hair is dark red, and his face is a darkish tan color, with many scars and cuts. He wears an eye patch over his left eye, were a bayonet had pierced him in a fight with a particularly nasty group of marines. Has tasted power, having been an first mate on a pirate ship.

(Heh, this is Bossa.... Well, not exactly. This is my new charrie! I'll introduce him as soon as Seurill dies off, lol)
Name: Itami Also called: Pain Origin: Japan Age: unknown, appears in his late 20s Physical description: tall (about 6' 4") // thin // very pale // shoulder-length, shaggy black hair // prefers to wear Western-style attire and gold jewelry, most often stolen Distinguishing features: wears a large amount of kohl under his right eye // long scar from his forehead to his right cheek Skills: trained in martial arts and sword fighting // loves to torture his enemies // makes an excellent spy or thief Background: Itami (originally Itsumi) grew up in a small village in Japan with his mother, two infant sisters, and his grandparents. He never knew his father, who had been killed by robbers before he was born: to earn money, his family moved to a tiny village in the countryside, where his mother worked as a seamstress, and his grandmother sold simples. As a boy, his grandfather taught him how to wield a sword and defend himself, and even early on he was recognized as a skilled fighter. Then, when he was about eight or nine, his village was raided by a band of pirates, and he watched as his entire family was slaughtered before his eyes. Rather than killing him, too, however, the pirate captain brought him aboard their ship, raising him thereafter as one of their own. He changed his name to Itami, the Japanese word for "pain" -- not because of the sufferings of his childhood, but because of the pleasure he came to enjoy at bringing misery to others. In fact, he prided himself on his skill at torture, having immediately taken to what he saw as a form of subtle art. He himself feels no pain, physically or mentally, making him a very dangerous enemy to encounter. It was only recently that he began to hear rumors of a Captain Barbossa throughout the Caribbean isles, and vowed to meet the man whose very name could spread such fear into the hearts of so many. Finally, slipping away into the dead of night, he set out for the legendary city of Tortuga...in search of Barbossa.
(Okay, bad description, I know.... I'll have to play the character for a while before I can really give him a personality. Anyway, hope you like him! He should prove to be quite a challenge for Bossa's enemies.... *cackle*)

*cackles madly* Yes I am crazy enough to play four charries in one rpg... shoot me why don't you... I have no clue where exactly she will fit it... and if it doesnt work... she won't show up at all... but i'm friggin bored, and if I have yet another person to post as... i just might not bother the rest of you as much. *g*
~Saber
Name: Nakia Meaning of Name: “Pure, Faithful” (*pats Nakia’s parents* If only they knew…) Age: Around 19 years Origins: Egypt Alliance: Whoever will have her… Location: Tortuga, at the moment. Description: Tall, long legs, and slender, she is the picture of an Egyptian goddess. Her slightly wavy black hair is streaked purple and blue with plant, and animal dyes, giving her a wild sort of look. Unlike most of the women we have been acquainted with so far (and I say most, because there are a few exceptions *g*) she enjoys showing herself off. Therefore her clothing is as follows. A white shirt that is always off her shoulders; a deep purple bodice/corset that is tied for looks rather then comfort; a pair of black pants that have been slashed up the sides nearly to her hips, and then laced almost back together. (Not exactly period, but if you guys aren’t going to care, then I guess I don’t have to. :-P) Sometimes the pants trade places with a skirt that clings and hangs in all the “right” places. Her shoes are made of soft leather, but their soles are stiff enough for tough wear. She wears an exorbitant amount of sliver jewelry; bracelets, earrings, and something around her neck that resembles an animal collar. The only thing “rough” or “rugged” about her is a thick rope belt that hangs loosely on her hips, with the ends normally dangling between her legs. She carries no weapons, and doesn’t worry about herself. Why? Read her story in the bio thread... cuz its too long to post here.
I have drawn her... but i have yet to scan the pic. I'm wondering if she could kinda be on Barbossa's side and be constantly in Chris's way *grin* might be fun...

Yep, you're crazy, Saber dear. But woot for more charries all the same!! *Laughs a bit* I'd ask for Nakia to join my crew, but honestly...I wouldn't want to put Aaron under that much stress. He might implode or something.
