This is a Literate Roleplay.
_______________

A mystical treasure lost on an unknown island. Sound familiar? There are always rumors of magical treasures, cursed artifacts and Pirates around. Rumors ranging from a mermaid sighting to the dead rising from the grave and walking into a tavern have been passed around; those only believing these are the superstitious. Others claim simply that that they do not believe in Ghost Stories. One rumor though has been around for centuries. A large chest holding 700 golden coins that resides hidden on a deserted island. It is said that the damned and dead protect the island, the treasure for some reason is important to the protectors. Only two have found this treasure, two Pirate ships with a crew of seventeen each. The said ships and all of the crew members however were never seen or heard of again. The legend of their disappearance? It is said that Davy Jones lives in the waters around this island; he collects his crew by passing the rumor of the treasure about and stealing the souls of those who try to steal his chest.

Why are these coins so important to Jones? No one knows. The rumor died for three years however suddenly it has been brought up once again. Sailors talk of the waters around the island, whose name has been discovered: Isla Del Maldecido or Island of the Cursed. What a fitting name, eh? Pirates have spoken of searching out this said treasure of the deep; and now it has turned into a race. Whoever finds the said treasure will be known among their Pirate brethren and held with the highest regard. The trick? Do they really think that the dead or Jones himself will let them walk freely onto this island and simply take the coins? No. Nothing is ever that simple now is it?

Cities Ports and anything Else Of Geographic Nature

Ports
Killa Port - The most common port around. Every ship has docked here at least once, this is how famous this port is. Most begin journeys here while others come here to find able bodied men and women to join crews. Pirates are hated here. Why? This is the best place to find loot; almost everything passes through this port.
Dargan Port - This port is located on the coast of Lillian. It is a famous port for Pirates. Here loot is passed from one captain to the other, trades are made and company is found easily.
Nanaho Port - Bottom line? This port never receives much service. The reason behind this? It is on the coast of Miharu which is located near the Northern Pole.
Kenta Port - Located on the coast of Kenta this port is used mainly for large passenger ships. These ships carry richer families and because of this are normally strong targets for Pirates when they reach the open sea.

Cities
Endoh - A large city where many live. It is surrounded on three sides by sea and is a highly spiritual city. Pirates are pitied on here; they are seen as lost souls that need guidance. Because of this the people here give free meals, beds, etc to Pirates while in return they receive company, stories, rare items and respect.
Kenta - A large rich city where only the wealthiest live. This city is again an easy target for Pirates, Thieves and Crooks. Why? Where else has almost every rich family alive in one place. This city is over crowded and as a result suffers from pollution. Not a very clean place to live at all. This is also the Navy's base city.

Islands
Isla Del Maldecido - Nothing other than rumors are known about this island. Even it's exact location is unknown. It is a cursed island where the damned and dead roam, the said home of Davy Jones.
Miharu - A small island where the population is close to none. Very few live here. It is the perfect place if one seeks solitude, peace and quiet. As a result of the unpopulated area many killers and thieves call this place home. After all none come within miles of this city.
Lillian - A rough party town. The rules here? Kill, drink, and live life as if you are invincible. The local bars are full round the clock, people seem to never sleep here. An excellent place to find a crew if you are a Pirate. A city where Rum is well known and a fight breaks out almost every five minutes. Could you think of a better place to live?

My template: finally.

Name: Rowe, Anna
Age: 21
Appearance: Click For The Image Please =]
Hometown: Kenta
Occupation: Pirate - Captain
Ship Name: The Night Star
Weapons: Rapier, German Flintlock
Bio:
Love is a harsh master. Anna was born in Kenta, there she grew up as a proper lady should; with fancy dresses, parties, young men swooning, a brother and two sisters. On the eve of her nineteenth birthday a Pirate ship pulled into port, the town she in which she resided was ransacked, her brother was killed and her sisters taken along with herself. For a while she learned to loathe Pirates however when she and her siblings were taken to the ship the Captain of the said ship murdered one of his own men. Oblivious as to why at first she soon learned it was because the said man had murdered her brother.

The crew had been ordered not to kill anyone and killing her brother had broken that order. The Captain of the said ship apologized, released her sisters and aimed to release Anna. Anna however asked to stay, joined his crew. She struggled up to the rank of the Captain’s second as well as his lover. Her fortune however turned sour…the ship wrecked on an Island now known as Miharu; only Anna survived. So she lost her brother and her lover within the same year. She was heartbroken, and was picked up by a random ship heading towards Kenta Port. After this she disappeared for a few years before reappearing with a Pirate ship, a second an incomplete crew and her eyes set on the Isla Del Maldecido.

Personality:
Anna is a kind soul, and has an extremely good sense of direction. She cares about her crewmembers and always considers them and their lives in her actions, wanting to make sure they all are safe and well. She however can be overly confident sometimes and endanger herself greatly. Normally though she is kind, serene and down to earth person…even if she is rather greedy.

OOC: I'm here because I saw the JOIN THIS RP in Xiao's siggeh, so I thought I'd check it out. I'm assuming by literate you mean it will only contain those with enough intellect to post mroe than a couple sentences and possibly be able to spell (I might have problems with this. xD). Anyways, I've been in several RPs and I'm looking forward to possibly being in this one!

Name: Tsuwano, Soji

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/Splatt67212/Pirateweapon1copy.gif
Bio: Soji and his family lived in relatively peace and quiet. The small island they lived on was vitually unpopulated and supported his family well. Soji grew up with his older brother, Kratos, and his younger sister, Menai. Everything was perfect in Soji's life until his brother read about piracy in a book left by a traveller. When Kratos tried to leave the island, Soji's father and mother tried to stop him. A fight broke out and Kratos killed both his mother and his father. Soji was a young boy at the time. Menai, his younger sister, had always thought Soji was involved in the murder also and vowed to hunt down both him and Kratos. Soji was forced to flee his home because he lacked the heart to strike down his sister. Soji fled to the rough island of Lillian where he learned to fight. He was taken in by a master assasign who trained Soji. Taking pity on the boy, the assasign adopted Soji which made Soji his heir. When the old man passed away, Soji inherited the riches and weapons of the old man. His flintlocks, swords and cyclone disks were all things he inherited. Using the large amount of money he obtained, Soji hired a ship to take him to Kenta where he became a famous businessman at the ripe age of 16. Little did any of his neigbors know that most of Soji's money came from shady dealings and generally someone dying. But, Soji made a great living and was well respected despite his lack of age. Then, out of the blue, Soji moved to Endoh where he set up a large fund for pirates. Soji had become facinated about piracy himself and had decided he might be able to hunt down his brother. Sure enough, a pirate's vessel took the bait. Soji gave room, board, food, rainment, and fresh supplies to the Madelyn Cana. When Soji appraised their captain to become a member of the crew, he was extremely reluctant, but Soji's wealth helped him again and at the age of 20, he joined the crew. Despite the captain's lack in faith in him, Soji respected Arox quite well. Soji has sense proved his worth many times before the mast and in several battles. Soji's odd style of combat often perplexes navel officers and opposing pirates.
Personality: At heart, he is a kind and gentle person, but he puts on the hard and cruel mask of a killer. He uses this mask to attempt to push away anyone who gets too close to him. He must always remember that he seeks revenge for his family's slaughter and uses this to give him courage. Soji thinks little of those he kills and knows only that he is good at killing. Fairly ignorant in the ways of the scholorly life, Soji relies on the knowledge he accumulated from the books his family owned and the inner wisdom that waits to free itself.

Compass

Name: Culpac, Adron
Age: 24
Appearance:
piratebyemihotaruyl0.jpg

Hometown: Endoh
Occupation: Crew member ~ Ballistics engineer
Ship Name: Madelyn Cana
Weapons:
Two side-pelted pistols, 12 shots each per round
One of the first long range rifles ever made, pillaged from a rich general in Endoh
A dagger, lodged into his boot

Personality: Adron is, for lack of a better word, wild. He tends to be very virile and involed in what he does, and takes nearly nothing seriously. Many of the crew members see him as a vehement womanizer, however if there is one thing he loves more than women; it's speed. Once when he was given the wheel to the ship, temporarily, he gunned it through a tiny channel, pumped with adrenaline. They never once let him touch it again. Although he is wild and arrogant, Adron is also very loyal and has a strong sense of justice. Right and wrong to him are just words, he decides what it what by his own means, and he'd never let down a friend, unless his life was taken in the process.

Bio: Adron was born in Endoh, on the steps of a temple church. His family was very poor, and his parents had neither the money to care for him, nor the heart to take his life; so he was abandoned on the steps of the abbey. He never knew he parents, and truly speaking never thought to seek them out until he joined the crew.

Growing up he was always the kid who made the most noise, caused the most trouble, and of course; ate the most food. He was like a 4 year old on crack. The nuns of the abbey who watched over him were often shocked and horrified by his prententios behavior, deeming it blasphemic and heretical, yet lovable nonetheless. While he was scorned and reprimanded at least once a day; the people or the abbey loved him dearly; it was a comfortable and happy home.

When Adron turned 13; he met his first pirate. A priate ship had crashed onto the shores of Endoh, and the crew had fled from the seas towards the mainland. However, they did not make it very far. The captain and a few of his crew had collapsed, wounded and starved outisde the abbey. They were being chased by the Navy no less, and were taken into the care of the Abbey. Adron often came to visit with the captain, sitting quiet for what seemed the first time in ages to listen to the stories, lore, and legends the pirate divulged to him. He was utterly fascinated with the grandiose life that pirates led, and wished to go off and sail the seas hmself one day.

A few months later, the captain left, leaving to the Church a token of his appreciation. He left a small stash of gold to them, and to Adron he left a small gift.

"Adron, here is something for you. Protect it with your life, and when you become a pirate some day, seek it out."

What he handed the boy was a rolled up parchment, and trudged out of the abbey. Adron never saw the man again; but what he got for it, was a varifiable treasure map. The map pointed to the captain's loot, buried on an island some hundred miles away. The treasure was sure to be grand, and Adron knew that one day he WOULD unearth the treasure, and lead a pirate crew of his own.

Age 17, Adron left the abbey and the crying nuns behind for the great world before him. "Commandeering" a royal fleet liner, he docked ship, and sought out the great treasure bestowed upon him as a child. This was his chance, he'd become great soon enough.

2 years passed, and finally Adron had reached the island. His ship was in shambles and he was stuck on the island, seemingly for good. But nonetheless he'd accomplished his greatest goal. Unearthing the treasure he stared in wonder at the glory of his hardships. However what happened next was NOT something Adron had planned. It seemed Adron wasn't the only one who knew about the expansive treasure on this island. A band of pirates, piloting a ship by the name of Madelyn Cena had docked on the island, in search of the treasure, and Adron formed a plot.

In exchange for the treasure, he joined captain Lynch's crew, and set his great destiny as a pirate.

Both of the templates look great, and yes Splatt when I say Literate I mean spelling, the ability to post more than a few sentences and at least knowing where one is going as far as grammar.
