[madame moiselle]

Damascus Claw

Don't play victim to the circumstances you created. Damascus Claw

Species : Panther

Age : 23

Which Crew : Dreadclaw

Position : First Mate

Personality : Damascus lives by a code of honor. A twisted code for sure, but a code of honor nonetheless. He never kills for the fun of it. He has a patience that is rare to find aboard any ship, especially when put up with dastardly conditions, weather, and battles between the blasted Navy and other pirate ships. But only for certain things.
He is rather passive than most, dead loyal to his captain. He never seems to have an opinion; not even when his captain kills a crewmate for as little as being annoying, not even when Dreadclaw forces someone to cut their own tongue off because they are a chatterbox. A trait his captain surely favors.
Yet Damascus does indeed hold respect for his captain. A very interesting character, someone who had experienced life's cruelest circumstances and had come out alive and stronger (and crueler) than ever. Someone who strikes both fear and awe in every soul, taking only a look for him to make even the mightiest of mammals to kneel.
Damascus is a fierce warrior. Almost as ruthless as Dreadclaw himself, Damascus is the stuff of steel. He can commit and withstand even the gruesomest of crimes, without as much as flinching. Yet despite this, Damascus is a very soulful person. His thoughts run deeper than most pirates, who think only of females, treasure, and revenge. He rather enjoys meaningful conversations and has a taste for adventure.
And as mentioned before, Damascus does have a remarkable amount of patience. Yet there are certain things that tick him off. He hates the arrogant and the cocky, he despises weaklings, whiners, and slackers. He strives for a certain amount of order in the crew and ship, even if it is run by pirates. He knows how to keep mammals in their place and doesn't hesitate to do as he is told. He does have a hatred for Redd and his Trident, thinking the sly fox was nothing but former Navy scum. With the incident with both ships almost getting caught by the Navy making Damascus also believe that Redd was still loyal to the Crown, purposely making the error in navigation to foolishly lead Dreadclaw and his ship right to the enemy.

History :
Most could call him a walking contradiction. Being on perhaps the most ruthless ship that has ever sailed the seven seas, one has to assume it's crew is every little bit as ruthless and more. Pirates are heartless, say some. Pirates are bloody mongrels, say others. And still others say pirates have no sense of justice or honor. And for the most part, those who say such things are right. Yet it seems civilization has always had a tendency to generalize a bit too much. Many pirates, yes they are as black-hearted as they seem. But not all.
Alas, I introduce to you Damascus Claw.

Now, unlike popular belief, pirates are not completely heartless---just know how to use their heart less. Some of them had stopped using their hearts so much that, to many, it does indeed seem that they truly have no heart. In an age of brigands and brutality, it's no surprise.
Damascus grew up a noble's son. No, it's no joke. Damascus was the son of a noble, his father being part of the Crown's court. He was the eldest, which meant expectations, responsibilities, and burdens. Up until he was about thirteen, Damascus was living the high, uptight life, filled with pompous classes and endless tutors, a life of luxury. Yet Damascus back then would have none of it. He yearned for freedom, something that he was severely lacking in the world of tight, suffocating suits and powdered wigs and castles that felt like cages. Damascus was a very stubborn, free-spirited young lad back then, yearning for the vastness of the sea, which was highly unusual and disapproving in the eyes of nobility. Damascus was a trouble-maker and despised his caged life, finally running away to the streets at the young age of thirteen.

Now, one cannot simply expect the son of a noble to cope very well in the streets. Not when his life up until then was all about castles, classes, and charisma. The streets were a place where reality hits you pretty hard. Damascus somehow managed to survive, and along the way, met an old, former pirate who somehow managed to stayaway from the Crown's eye for a very long time. Damascus convinced the old man to teach the young panther how to swordfight, and the old man finally agreed, becoming his mentor. Damascus lived on the streets for about two years, learning how to swordfight and being a natural at it. Soon enough, Damascus began dreaming about the sea.
Being a very headstrong but half-witted kid, Damascus truly believed freedom was the sea. He had always had a fascination for pirates---to him, they were brave, talented lads who had the guts to defy the Crown and their rigid, pretentious ways. He hopped on the first ship he could find, fatefully being the Howling Tempest, at the age of fifteen.

Obviously, Damascus was discovered and put right to work as a lowly cabin kid, but soon worked his way up. His impressive skills were legendary, his ferocity and wit impeccable. After four long years of surviving the ruthless crew of Howling Tempest as well as the sea conditions, Damascus found himself at the right hand of Captain Dreadclaw.
And he still is now.

[Ms. Sparrow]

WIP

Amara Nightingale

Species:
Fox

Age:
22

Crew:
Dreadclaw

Position:
Second Mate

Personality:
Amara is a cold, remorseless little thing with little to none compassion. That's what everyone who knows her thinks at the least. Amara expresses little to no sympathy or remorse for those she kills, she's cruel and mosy of the time sarcastic. She's never shown an ounce of kindness to the crew, even when there kind, and most certainly hates mostly everyone she meets, except for the captain, but even then it's more of a mutual respect for him. Amara will generally keep to herself, and when she's not busy you'll find her either drinking or watching the water. Amara can best be described as arrogant, cocky, and passive-aggressive, her best trait most likely her dark and dry sense of humor. Amara puts on a very strong face most time, but at times she can act recklessly and impulsively on anger, or love. She can become homicidal if pissed off enough, though she'd never kill her own crew, most likely a poor civilian. Or she'll act recklessly on love, because although Amara puts on a cold, uncaring demeanor she cares, she cares a lot.

History:
WIP

Extra:

Weapons:
Amara uses a variety of weapons, but she's best know for her stealth, so she generally uses a variety of melee weapons such as knives and rappers, but she keeps a set of silver duel flintlocks at her hips just in case she needs it.

Color:
Amara's color is violet ​

He also enjoys blowing up oposing ships, it amuses him. The crew fear him, respect him, but few actually like him. Yet his presence alone stops mutiny before it starts. He has been known to be gentlemanly at times, but don't expect a fair, honest promise. For he may give his word as a gentleman, but he'll keep his fingers crossed as a pirate!

History : working on it

Extras : Sword, knife, pistol Bold Black

 

[Raku]

Appearance :


Species : Red Fox

Name : Charles Redd

Age : 38

Position : Captain of Redd's Trident

Personality : Being a former captain of Her Majesty's Navy, he has morals, but he's a pirate as well. He is fair with his crew and is more of a leader than a boss. He is a true gentleman and keeps his composure under stress. He uses his superior knowledge and sailing expertise to lead his shop and crew onto victory. As every captain would though, he definitely has a sinister side. He hasn't had to show it yet, but he can be very cruel if he so wishes.

History : Once a great and rich captain of the Navy, his ship was thrown off course by a storm and ended up smashing into a reef. Most of his crew drowned while the others died afterwards. He was left as the only survivor. After some time of surviving on an island, he decided that no search party was sent for him.

He was able to flag down a merchant ship to get him back to England. He was furious with the Navy because they didn't send help. There, he used his riches to build his own ship. He altered his uniform to fit his new calling, a pirate. After the construction of Redd's Trident, he gathered a crew and began his piracy. He was about 28 when that happened.

He ended up forming a close alliance with another pirate captain by the name of Dreadclaw the Dark. They worked together for some time before they drew close to a naval base. The Navy spotted them and pursued, but the two captains escaped them through a storm. After this event, Dreadclaw blames Charles for it and they split.

Extras : Redd uses a vast array of weapons. Anywhere from swords and knives to flintlocks. He speaks in light red.​

 

[Foxy-Miles]

I'll finish this later. It's a work in progress right now.

Appearance :

Species : Fox

Name : Rusami

Nickname: Rusa

Age : 18

Which Crew : Dreadclaw

Position : Bowsun

She can be sassy and a bit of a smartass with some of the remarks she makes. She wants the best for others on the ship even though it might not seem like it at times. She likes to stick to herself on the boat unless she has no other choice but to interact with the others. She's a bit more laid back than others more relaxed, but that doesn't mean she won't snap at someone if they piss her off enough. She enjoys teases others, getting under their skin so to speak and getting a reaction out of them.

History : To be added.

Extras : She's one of the very few that actually respect her captain. Sword and orange.

 

[301 Moved Permanently]

Appearance: Short, scruffy and twitchy. Bernard looks like he's been dragged backwards through a bush and, for good measure, thrown back in to the bush afterwards.

Species: Owl.

Name: Bernard "Cook" Eggerley

Age: 28

Crew: Howling Tempest (Dreadclaw)

Position: Ship's Cook

Personality: Just about unhinged enough to survive on board the Howling Tempest. Just about lucid enough to not get thrown off the ship at the earliest opportunity. Likes to be in control of things, and finds life outside the galley - where he no longer gets to be "in charge" - rather stressful. Takes great delight in being appreciated. Rather protective of his role on the ship.

History: (Brief Outline / Work In Progress / I'll Flesh This Out I Promise) The fourth son of Baron Eggerley of Escrick. Should have been a noble and upstanding gentleman of good breeding, but from a young age, it's clear he's not really cut out for that. Shipped off to the other side of the world for the good of his family after "an incident that nobody ought to dwell on too much", the ship he is travelling on is intercepted by pirates. Decides that it's probably better to sign up than be taken prisoner and sold off to somebody.

Extras: Fights with whatever is nearby, which usually means a frying pan and rolling pin. Colour is brown, to match the colour of a good stew.

Position : 1st Mate

If someone hurts any of his fellow crewmembers he will not hesitate to kill.

That is exactly what happened until there was a mutiny not too long after he became captain. Cornelius was fine since he could swim home but his pride was destroyed.

[RoxasNobody13]

Name: Percy Platicus Jester the 4th (Goes by Percy Jester, or PJ)

Age: 15

Gender: male

Crew: Redd

Position: Cabin Boy

Species: Platypus

Apearance:


Personality: Percy wants to please his captain, and be seen as a valued member of the crew. He does his best and will even go beyond what is asked of him. He's extremely loyal, to the point wjhere he will tell Redd if there was the slightest hint of mutiny. He's quiet, trying not to speak too much, and when he does speak, it's with a very respectful air. He sees himself as nothing more than the crew's gofer and chore boy. However, he loves the ship herself, and will often be seen polishing the decks and bow, and fixing any leaks, cracks, or slight jagged planks, with a smile and a shanty. He loves the thrill of being a pirate, even a low ranking one, and will gladly leap into a fight to defend the crew, and the ship.

History: While at sea with his father on a merchant vessel, their ship ran aground near a port town. His father was impailed on a spike of wood and the young platypus was left as an orphan. While begging for bread on the street near a pub, Percy witnessed an unfair and rather brutal assault on a pirate by five Navy men, aparently for no reason other than...well...the ferret was a pirate. But Percy saw no other reason for the crewmate to be assaulted. He hadn't done anything except try to mind his business. Seeing injustice before his young eyes, the platypus subtly snuck behind each of the Navymen and scratched them, one by one, with his barbs They fell ill to the ground, and the ferret, in thanks, gave him a peice of eight, and told him that if he ever found himself wanting adventure, to seek out a pirate ship, and become one of the crew. Ten days later, the young platypus felt the call to once again sail the seas, and stowed away on Redd's ship. The captain was not thrilled with him, but was not a heartless soul, so he reluctantly threw him in the galley and declared him Cabin Boy....and that he best watch himself.

Weapons: Poisonous barbs on his ankles and wrists, a dagger

[Moessashi471]

Appearance :

Species : Sea Snake

Name :. Vivera Sealander

Age : 20

Which Crew : Redd

Position : Gunner

History Vivera Was born in a beautiful, remote place called Coral Beach, a beautiful reef where coral and seaweed were spread out larger than her Majesty's royal shipyard. Vivera's people were peaceful, never searching out a fight. They were curious and slightly adventurous. She grew to the age of 15, living a simple, carefree life. Two weeks after her fifteenth birthday, a small royal fleet of two ships docked. The fleet was to accompany the crown prince, who was "searching his domain for a suitable mate." Vivera was not interested, so she continued on with her life as if nothing had changed. Nothing had to her. This unfortunately, fascinated the young man and she soon became the center of his attentions. Unexpectedly, Vivera returned The prince's affections and they were soon to be wed. She fell in live with him deeply, and he her. The night before they were due to set sail for the capital, a group of jealous young serpent girls, headed by Vivera's own sister, set out to capture and sell Vivera to a group of less than reputable sailors. The girls were successful. Devastated and enraged at Vivera for leaving him, he chose her sister Niera. Vivian became a slave work-hand for the sailors. For three years, she was kept prisoner on that ship. During that time, another slave secretly taught her the skills of his youth. He taught her his fighting style, dirty, but with morals to the innocent. He also taught her to man the cannons. His greatest lessons though were of how to throw death stars. She grew to almost losing them all, to being able to throw with deadly accuracy. Two days after her ninetieth birthday, the ship was taken by pirates. Sadly, her friend was killed, but she was given a chance for freedom. She had learned years ago of her sister's betrayal and the price her lover had but on her head. Knowing that she had no life as a royal, Vivera accepted.

Extras : Vivera has a close range pistol, two swords, and a hidden number of throwing stars. Her last resort is her venom, which is very deadly. Vivera's color will be violet

[RoxasNobody13]

That is still not an animal. it's still humanoid. It's still invalid for what this rp is trying to do. sorry dude. Also, regeneration, dark matter, healing? flying in space? this is pirates, not fantasy genre. it's cool that he's a doctor, but he has to be a doctor by profession. Med school type stuff not magic. Change him up a bit, and he'll be fine

I honestly don't see how being a pro doc really matters their pirates, as for the rest i'll allow wolf to decide because i don't want to change my char into something that's nothing that i want him to be.

he has to fit the tone. he HAS to be an actual animal. his abilities have to match the genre..Compared to the other characters yours is stepping into gmod territory for this rp because no one else has that kind of power, mostly because unless your animal is an animal that can regenerate body parts, like a newt or lizard, then they should not have that ability. Percy has poisonous barbs because platypi have them in rl. our shark swam home because well, he's a shark. I'll talk to Wolf about it, but in reality, this whole thing was my idea. Wolf's just co creating it with me.

ok you have some points It does have very heavy drawbacks worst case being in a coma for short spans i don't mind adding extra weakness within reason. sharks still not anthro, ok i don't mind changing it to something in between a lizard and bird so it looks mostly human because i don't like the idea of walking round with a beak or a feathered face.

 

[RoxasNobody13]

the shark is anthro. he's very anthro

it has to be either a lizard or bird, no chimeras.

Even with drawbacks, he can't use dark matter. that stems on magical abilities and this is not a fantasy type rp. Think of it as more...historical fiction with anthro animals, since it takes place in the Golden Age of piracy wich was an actual time period.

Sorry to butt in, but maybe this isn't the type of RP for you if you more like magic-themed things rather than not. There's a ton of fantasy RPs out there you could join if being an anthro animal isn't your thing.
