(I'mma add one more character to my list if that's alright. I wanna bring in a blackbeard type character, and the guy who commanded the crew who fucked up Skull's face. I'll type out full details here in a bit, cause I'm in the mood to type, and after reordering starz, and catching up with Black Sails I'm back into the pirate hype! Plus I never said she killed her rapers.)

Alexander'The Conqueror' 'Spartacus' 'The defiler' 'The king of pirates' Vain (He's more a side character/Antagonist for side parts of the story. For example I was thinking of having him attacking Thomas' ship to liven up that side of the rp. Though depending on how much we love the character I might use him for often.)
Background: Alexander was born to a slave family, and lived a slave's life for most of his young life. He was beaten, and forced to do hard labor. Until one day he was to be transferred to a new master across the sea. That was when he talked his fellow slaves into revolting, and went to kill the nobles. During the fight most of the slaves were killed, and the battle was lost. Alexander was being whipped for his punishment. However that was when the Black Veil ship crashed into his master's boat, and was boarded by pirates. With the already weak soldiers from the slave revolt, the pirates easily took ahold of their prize, and took Alexander as their slave. Things didn't get better just because the pirates took over ownership. In fact things got worse, and Vain was almost killed eight times within his first week. However being the guy he is Vain talked the new slaves into revolting again. However this time he had a plan. While the pirates where taking a prize ship the revolt occurred ending in the death of every single pirate, and half the slaves. This marked Captain Vain entrance into piracy. He found a page in the captain's log of an island where pirates lived in a semi harmony with each other. Luckily for him one of his fellow slaves had been a son of a navy commander so together they found their way to the island in which the era of Captain Alexander the great started. Oddly enough he didn't just steal the old king Alexander the great's title. No he merely become a new form of the great king. Hailed with the nickname Spartacus for his revolt with mere slaves, he set sail. Years passed as he worked with the island to bring it whatever it needed, he at one point was considered the King of all pirates. This was until he was betrayed by the Lord of the island, and was sent to sail on his own told if he returned he would be killed. For what crime? The crime of attempting to take over the island, and kill the Lord himself. However despite being abandoned by the motherland Alexander didn't disappear in fact it was only a month later when he planned to conquer a city of his own. A small town off the coast of England. With a long, and hard fought war Alexander earned himself a new title. The Conqueror, and Lord of James town. Though he soon had to abandon the island once the King decided to fight back, and so marked Alexander descent into insanity.
Once a noble pirate who tended to not kill unless he deemed it required was now turned into a devil of the sea. Capturing small towns killing lords, and ladies. Raping, murdering, and stealing was now his mantle over treasure hunting. This is the same time he made a new pirate himself when he captured a Lady named Wendy. Though her story was already told. The era of Alexander the vile only lasted a year before he disappeared off the face of the world. Many believed Skull killed him, and his crew though they were far off.
Now in present day Captain Vain marks his return to Providence Island the home of the pirate's kingdom. However the question is whose returning to this island? Alexander The Great a loyal friend to all pirates, Spartacus the defender of slaves, Captain Alex the defiler, or someone completely new...
Looks: Captain Alexander is a handsome enough man for a pirate. He has short dirty blonde hair, and a pair of light gray eyes. He isn't the type of man you'd expect to be so infamous in the world. He has very few scars, and only one missing limb. His right ear is entirely missing though his hair covers it up most of the time. He has no piercings, or tattoos despite being a pirate. He wears a black coat, gray shirt, and black pants most of the time. A thartican sword always at his side. He used this blade because of his nickname of Spartacus from the past. However the thing that get people to notice him is his left eye. It has a muddy look to it, and it the only thing noticeable the makes him slightly unattractive to the ladies. It's until he removes his clothes you see all the scars from his whippings, and fights. His whole upper body is covered in nasty markings. He tends to always be clean shaven unless he's been at sea for a long time.
Personality:
Spontaneous, schizophrenic, insane, vile, rude, no morals, and most of all a genius. Alexander is the kind of man you don't want to cross. One second he could be flirting with a lady acting as he was a normal male, the next he could be torturing her saying the voices are controlling him. He isn't religious, but he does claim that the devil has claimed his body. When he's alone, or at least he thinks he's alone he can be found playing classic music in his quarters. He refuses to get on a ship that doesn't have a piano. He has dark fetishes, and if he takes a whore into a room she won't walk out, and if she does she won't be the same. He's been rumored to have eaten human meat before as well, though their is no proof. He is quite messed up, and makes jokes a lot of the time. He's the kind of guy who can be torturing a human while whistling a smoothing tone. However he's not all murder in fact the people on his crew claim he's quite the leader. He's quite friendly to those he deems his friends, and is a very worth while friend to have. His one dream in life is to make London burn in ashes. He's 45

(Nice character! I think he'll make a good addition.)
Sam repeated his thanks as the Captain walked away, then laughed at James's comment. "Well I can't say I did much, I think all the thanks should go to you," he said and then looked back at the book in his hands. It would be a lot to learn but he felt he was up to the challenge. "I hope someday I can repay the favor," he said to James with a smile.
This information, of course, sparked Kat's interest. She quickly ran through the offer in her head for any obvious traps, but couldn't come up with any. "Alright, you got yourself a deal," she replied with a nod. Kat certainly understood her want for revenge, there were times when that had been the only thing keeping Kat herself going. "When would should we set sail?" There were still some things Kat and her crew needed to attend to before the ship would be fit to leave, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"You won't be thinking me if we get stranded at sea, and you have to fight with Captain over how we play it out." James joked sticking her hands in her pocket as she looked around the ship. "Aye now Sam, you best get to studying that book. I should return to my nest above. Wouldn't want any ships sneaking up upon us." She stated, and pushed herself up the railing of the ship keeping her balance quite well as she moved over to the ropes that led the way to the crow's next. "You might wanna learn how to yell as well, the last quartermaster did that alot." She stated before squirrelling her way up the ropes to keep her eyes out on any possible ships.
"My crew are without a strong leader at the moment, despite what they might think. So they'll be at sea longer than normal. You have maybe two days to spend supplying the ship, and letting the men fuck whores." Skull informed, and moved towards the door to leave. "I'll await you at the beach when you're ready." She simply called out before disappearing out the door.
(I figured we could skip the two days for both parties, and I cold have Alexander attack the navy ship.)

(Yeah works for me.)
Sam had spent every free minute he had pouring over the book, and he was beginning to get an idea for what he was supposed to do as a quartermaster. He knew how to read maps and charts before joining the Navy, but he already much better at that too. Currently, he was looking at a map spread out on a table with a compass off to the side, double checking to make sure they were on the right course. They had to be getting close to the island by now and it was starting to make him antsy. He knew the chances of an attack grew the closer they got.
Kat walked down the gangway early the morning they were to set sail. The Angel had been stocked with provisions, ammunition for weapons, black powder to fire them, and various other goods they might need at sea. She hadn't yet told her crew their mission or the target; she wanted to wait until they were a day or two out before letting anyone else know about the gold. They had grumbled about the early start, but none dared ask questions yet. Even Jonathan hadn't pestered her on the manner which was unusual.

James spent her time up inside the crow's nest, and at the moment was passed out up there from proclaiming she could handle taking a sick crew mates shift. Her foot dangled off the edge of the little basket, and her head was rested up on the wall of the other side. However as the sun came out she opened an eye. "Bloody hells." She complained blocking the sun of her eyes for a moment before moving so she was standing. Her vision a bit blurry still, however her eyes soon found something. Watching the mark for a bit she reached down grabbing a eyeglass, and placing it to her right eye. Her mouth frowned a bit as she saw a black flag on a man of war not the kind of ship most pirates had. In fact pirate with a man of war ship was quite rare since that meant they were able to steal one from the navy. But more importantly was how deadly a battle with a man of war was. However before she would yell she looked at the flag, and her mouth went agap. "WE GOT BLACK!" She yelled her voice not changed so it sounded like a woman, and she cleared her throat hoping no one heard her female yell before yelling again with her fake male voice. "WE GOT BLACK. IT'S MJOLNIR!" She yelled the name of a long forgotten ship sailed by a pirate thought dead from being unactive for an entire year. She looked down seeing the captain coming out of his office. Thomas had been studying a map of the pirate island when a female shriek went off, though he swore he misheard it as a male voice followed it. "Mjolnir?" Thomas asked he had heard the name every navy commander has, if not every navy soldier. Walking out of his office he headed to the side of the ship with a eyeglass, before looking for himself. It only took a moment before he placed the item down though it looked like he had wanted to throw it. "Everyone prepare for the fight of your lives." He yelled his voice showing no fear, but his words gave off the feel slightly. "No point in fleeing, it's a man of war. Prepare to shoot!" He yelled so all could hear as he watched the ship grow closer.
Skull was sitting on the beach a hat placed over her head to avoid sunlight as it hurt her burnt face. She was sharpening her sword as she waited for Kat, and her crew. Hearing voices she turned her head to stare at the crew. "Bout damn time. Being on land fucking blows." She sighs moving herself off the rock, and looking at Kat. "Got some good news, and bad. Good is Captain Hayes informed me that my ship has been taken into a storm. Bad news is they could be anywhere I doubt they navigated a bloody storm well enough. The fuckers might even have capsized." She informed.

(Gah, I keep overcommitting in real life.)
Sam looked up quickly as he heard shouting and cursed when he realised what was going on. Pirates. He'd only recently heard stories of this particular ship and crew, and he was currently wishing he hadn't. It only made him more uneasy knowing the things they were rumored to be capable of. The rest of the crew was already scampering around the deck, and Sam joined them after a minute. He clattered down the steps to the lower decks where they were running out the canons and began doing what he could to help. He wasn't exactly sure if that's what a quartermaster did during a fight, but that had been his previous job, so he figured he'd at least try to be helpful until someone told him something different to do.
"Agreed," Kat replied to Skull's first statement. Hearing the other news, she simply nodded. "Well we'll just have to go find out," she replied and lead the way back to the boat that would take them out to where the ship was anchored. The gold would be a nice bonus, but like Skull, Kat just wanted to get out to sea. She always got restless the longer they stayed on land. Once aboard The Angel, she gave the order to lift anchor and they were soon off to sea. Jonathan noticed Kat come aboard the ship with someone new, but he had almost no recollection of the night in the bar, so he felt like Skull was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place why.

(Wanna skip the battle til Alexander boards them?)
Thomas watched the ship like a eagle as he stood near the edge, though his head quickly turned to the crew. "Brace yourself!" He yelled as he noticed the ship was shooting already. He would have to punish James later if they got through this for letting the ship get this bloody close before noticing. A cannon hit the stairs of the ship, and the side quite hard, and Thomas knelt to the ground almost falling. "Are we ready to shoot?!" He called out expecting his answer as he ordered the helm master to turn the ship to a better position. However while he was in the middle of turning he heard a scream as someone was falling. Turning his gaze to the crow's nest, or better yet where the crow next was suppose to be he saw a figure falling off the boat. "Leave him! Prepare to fire!" He commanded turning back to the ship waiting for them to shoot again. James one second was watching the attacking ship, and getting ready to duck. Than just a few seconds later was falling. She couldn't help, but scream as she thought she was bound to die. The wind rushed in her face, and she saw the water growing closer, and then.... her vision went black, and she fought to reach the surface of the water. However during her fall her left leg had hit the side of the ship breaking it. Finally reaching the surface she breathed heavily, and gritted her teeth noticing the pain in her leg. "Bloody fucking hell!" She screamed noticing the water around her growing red from the wounds on her leg. "If I don't drown a fucking shark will take notice." She thought aloud in a hurt voice. Looking up at ship she saw one of the boats they used to row to land. "Hey fuckers! Cut down that boat!" She yelled hoping someone would hear. She could figure out her leg, and find a way back up if she didn't have to worry about a fin appearing somewhere.
Skull followed her on Kat's ship, and looked around at the people aboard on it. "The ship was last seen on the coast of Charlestown. So I would prepare for a battle." She informed Charles town was known for pirate hunters, and all that fun stuff. "That's why we shouldn't delay much longer. Navy soldiers are bound to get to the ship at some point if they notice it." She added.

Back up on the man deck, Sam heard someone scream and go crashing into the ocean. The ship was taking heavy fire now, and Sam had to constantly duck to avoid canon balls or bits of the ship. Despite his best efforts to avoid them, he still ended up with wood splinters sticking into his arms and legs. Red rings were beginning to form around the larger pieces. Another shout caught his attention, though it was coming from overboard the ship. A glance to the water revealed James. Sam hadn’t heard exactly what he said, but it was easy enough to understand. It might get him in trouble with the Captain, but he felt he owed it to James to at least try to help. Quickly he unsheathed his sword and started hacking away at the ropes holding the boat. A few moment later it fell free and crashed into the water below. When Sam turned around, the rest of the color drained from his face. The other ship was practically on top of them, and he could see hooks beginning to sprout along the rail of their ship.
Kat grinned. "Good. It's been too long since we've had a good fight," she said, and several of the men on her crew cheered in agreement. "Alright, you lot o' worthless sea dogs, listen up!” she shouted in a gruff voice. “We’re hunting down the *insert ship name here*. Rumor says she’s got a lot o’ gold aboard, but we gotta beat the Navy to ‘er.” There was some booing and cursing at the mention of the Navy, and Kat waited for them to quiet down before continuing. “We’ll be in dangerous waters, so if ya want to live to see the next day, ye’d all better have this ship fit for battle at any moment. Any man or woman that fails in their duty will be dismissed from the crew.” Of course, by “dismissed,” Kat meant killed or marooned, most likely. With that she sent them to work. (I'm good with either skipping or not.)

As the battle ensured Captain Thomas shouted his commands though it was clear his ship was out matched by Mjolnir. Sighing as he saw the ship getting ready to board he pulled out his blade, and his pistol. "Get ready lads! We're not some merchant ship going to just let them steal from us. We are British soldiers! Prepare to kill every last single one of these beasts!" He yelled waiting for the attackers, however this didn't play out the way he figured it would with pirates rushing his boat instead only one man walked over once the board was placed. The thumping was quite soft as the figure found his way across the boat. "Greetins gents." The carefree voice sounded as he hopped down from the railing, and looked about the soldiers with a smile upon his face. "I can see you are ready for a fight." He laughed looking at them as he flipped a gold coin in the air. "So let's get started!" He yelled, and as he did his man began walking over though not in a rush like you'd expect from pirates.
(I'm getting writer's block-)
