Pirates of the Caribbean: Calypso's Curse

[cptmetzger]

The Bretheren Court have defeated Cutler Beckett, but in the process they released Calypso from her bodily form causing her to rule the seas once more. After a year the East India Trading Corporation are still trying to gain control of the seas, and Calypso isn't making anything easy for anybody. Meanwhile, Jacques Villaneuva, a mysterious pirate sails in to Tortuga on a Japanese ship searching for a crew. He claims to know of a treasure that could allow a crew to control Calypso.

Now for this I want a decent cast of characters. When I originally planned on doings this a few months ago I had a magnificent cast of characters. A priest(I'll be playing him), a betrayed pirate hunter searching for revenge, a rowdy female pirate, a Jim Hawkinsesque cabin boy, and a main enemy that could stand up to Davy Jones and Barbossa! So let's see some interesting characters, and I'll help you cope them in to the story line. If your interested just tell me.

Hey - love the idea!

Are you looking for just OCs or can characters from the original films be played? I have an OC who would fit the 'rowdy female pirate' criteria but I'd love to play Barbossa too if that's ok?

So, here's my OC

Name: Georgiana Maitland

Nationality: British

Occupation: Mercenary for the Brethren Court

History: Born to a family of sailors, it was always in Georgiana's blood to go to sea - even if it meant disobeying her father's wishes and ending up as a barmaid in Tortuga. Her travels brought her to Shipwreck Cove, where Captain Teague took her under his wing and taught her the ways of the Code. She soon became an infamous mercenary for the Court, dispatching East India agents and Naval officers in their hundreds. Georgiana was also Captain of ehr own ship, the Sea Phoenix, until it was sank in a skirmish with the Endeavor. She has been in love with Hector Barbossa for many years but is trying desperately to leave her heart behind her in order to survive in the world of piracy.

Personality: Quickwitted, spirited and full of fun but with a heart of gold and a sensitive nature which she tries desperately to hide. No one really knows the real Georgie.



So let me know what you think

Georgina works just fine for my liking, but when it comes to characters from the movies I'd rather them out of it. Don't worry, though...most of them will be making an appearance. Especially Barbossa!

Name: Jacques Villaneuva

Nationality: French/Spent most of life in the Carribean

Occupation: Captain of The Aikou

History: Jacques was born in to a family of aristocrati British that lived on a French port bordering the English Channel. His father was a high ranking member of the East India Trading Corporation, and his two brothers were soldiers under the company's employ. For a reason that was unkown to him it seemed as if all three of them hated him with his mother being the only one who cared for him. At a young age he realized that his mother was stuck in a loveless relationship. He often traveled to the port where he would frolic with the sea men, and play pirates with the port children. At the age of twelve the port, and surrounding city was attacked in the night by the Pirate lord of the Adriatic Sea, Eduardo Villaneuva. He stormed his family's manor claiming that he was there to claim his love, Jacque's mother, and a sword fight ensued between his father and the pirate lord. His father almost made a death blow, but his mother jumped in front of it causing her to be stabbed through the heart. Eduardo then returned the blow by slashing his father across the face causing him to retreat. Jacques came from hiding, and went to his mother who was dying in the arms of the pirate. She told her son the story of how she met Eduardo Villaneuva, and how she conceived him...revealing to Jacques that Eduardo was his father. After she passed Eduardo made off with Jacques. He sailed with his real father for many years until one day he broke off on his own crewing with many pirates known through out the Carribean. After that his history becomes a mystery...

Personality: Jacques is a very witty individuall with a humor that rivals even that of Jack Sparrow yet at the same time he operates under the lie that he is a gentlemen of the sea. Behind his careless and funny personality lies a tactician and a serious pirate who won't hesitate to do what he has to do in a given situation.

Appearance: This is what he relatively looks like.

Whooo - sounds good to me ;D

Characters Name: Carmen Burgadi
( not her birth name, the rumor is she was born to the Medici family, Carmen coming from her baptismal name and Burgadi being a bastardization of her nanny's surname)

Origin: Firenze

Story: She came of a wealthy family's less powerful limb, but was sent by her grandfather at fourteen to take her studying around the Mediterranean, and eventually the Spain, learning the sword in A Coruna, and drifting through the Mediterranean. She was lost from her nanny and her chaperon in Greece, and rather than returning to her home she stayed alone on the same path her grandfather set out for her, what she was educated in, turned out to be not quite what he was expecting. She began her life as a pirate accidentally, manipulating the weakness of authority where she went. Eventually she stowed away on a ship French navy ship the "Kersaint" to a French Polynesian Isle. The ships crew were few, their captain taking to a monastery just before leave a foolish first mate took over, and she, as she was educated to do, took advantage. There was only one she had to fight in the end, the rest too weak and disloyal by nature.

Personality: Carmen is manipulative, charming, and friendly. She lies constantly about her past, her last crew calls her by Lia, she tells people it was a nickname, once. Her temper is violent, though it takes much provoking. She is prone to hasty decisions, the results of which caused her to leave for the Americas and the Isles, both loosely controlled from afar.Now sick of the addle minded crew, which she choose for the purpose of being good, but very dumb, sailors, she longs to crew with a proper pirate, even if it means loosing the Kersaint and her position as it's captain. ( first mate perhaps?)

Appearance: Long very dark brown hair, brown eyes, tanned olive skin, 5'5", 38, 29, 36

( I can't find a proper picture, so I may take one of myself. Sorry about all the history, it was my second night of no sleep and I couldn't figure out a way to show her as a scavenger more that a predator when pirating, taking advantage of the weakness and such. History is apparently my default? I hope you are okay with the Medici origin still, it is a long living family even after their fame as the rulers of Florence.)

Take out the historical stuff. Make it a little broader without relying on certant dates. Remember now were going to need a First Mate-Captain's right hand man, a Boatswain-Keeps up crew moral...and then just regular crew.
