Feel free to join this RP if your interested. This will be loosely based off of the (rare) game Claw. Here's the story:
Tales and legends passed amongst sailors speak of a powerful amulet. This amulet, called the Amulet of Life, is said to give the user near-immortality, and is said to have been made by the lost people of Atlantis. Many explorers and sailors and even pirates have long looked for this legendary amulet, but all met without success. The legends say that it is hidden in one of the jungles of the New World (the Americas) on an incharted island. However, to find the Amulet, one must gather two different things. The first is to assemble a map that shows where the island is located. The other is to gather nine different gems that belongs on the Amulet. However, the map has been spread across the land, and only a few powerful individuals possess the needed gems.
Now, in the New World, a pirate captain is about to assemble a crew of swashbucklers to help find the Amulet of Life. However, individuals who possess the gems have heard of this, and plan to stop this new crew. The criminal activities of the pirates have also put an arrest warrant out for them...
Rules:
-No godmodding
-Do not take on huge plot decisions without my permission
-I'll only allow one character per person, if you want more then PM me.
-Try to be creative. Don't borrow characters from, say, Pirates of the Carribean.
-Be as descriptive as you possibly can, so no one liner posts.
Character sheet model:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Picture/Description: (The picture part is completely optional. If you can't find a picture, then give a description)
Nationality: (I'd prefer if this category had a European nationality, but I don't really care if it's not.)

Bio:
And here's my character:
Name: Captain Alvaro Dias
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Description: Short, brown hair, green eyes, somewhat tall, medium build, wears one of those black, three cornered, triangular caps, wears a blue coat.
Nationality: Portugese
Personality: Very analytical, thinks quickly, he can be blunt, a bit more polite than your average pirate.
Weapons of Choice: Cutlass, pistol
Bio: Born in Lisbon to merchants, Alvaro grew up in the city. He would later become a sailor, and set off for a new life in the New World. However, his new life did not meet success, and due to his love for the sea, he turned to piracy. He soon gained noteriety for his success at raiding much larger ships that would sometimes outgun him. Though he has the gruffiness of a pirate, he will sometimes let people who are unlucky enough to encounter him live, as he believes if one can survive a battle, then they are worthy of living. Due to this, sometimes he is called a "merciful pirate."
After learning about the Amulet, he seeks to get it before his rival, another pirate captain, does. However, after an intense battle with a privateer of which he barely survived, he is now attempting to form another crew of pirates, to beat his rival to the Amulet.
