As Captain Black Mane stared out into the sea, he was hastily called to by his crew mate up in the crow's nest. "A group of pegasi... attacking!? YARHAR HAR!!! You've got to be pulling meh anchor! There ain't a cloud ship in the sky you dumb scallywag!" he heard the faint fluttering of wings behind him and things grew quiet on deck. He turned around slowly to see 5 pegasi hovering just in front of his ship. The one in the middle looking particularly off with a wooden mask and.. what was that? metallic wings? His crew had already begun drawing heir weapons, some went below deck to rouse the others. "aarrrr... it seems you be right then..." Before his ship reached the hovering attackers he called out "Ahoy there! You sky-lubbers lost?" His tone changed as he mocked "..Or are ye looking for a fight?" At Black Mane's words, his crew members returned bringing all who were under deck out into the open, salty air. Black Mane bent his head so his teeth were on the hilt of his scimitar as he awaited a response. Five pegasi couldn't take his crew, but more of them could come out of nowhere in the middle of a fight. So it was best to look as intimidating as possible; scare off any attempts at plundering his ship. Hopefully he could get to colt's cove, without a fight, and sell his raid. The harbor should be visible on the horizon soon, maybe ten, twenty minutes? But if these ponies wanted a fight, right here and right now, then they sure found one...

It seems people are taking heed to the suggestions from the original idea thread and my new wish list ^^

It is awesome that Royal Range is in the navy, and rping as his captain is perfectly acceptable. I actually hope Blackmane sails into him in the future! >:3 legal pirates always did annoy the navy back then...

QueenChrysalis, thank you for taking up the ghost pirates! ^^ I eagerly await your application!

I personally think being separated would be a good way to start this off. Finding each other wouldn't be hard to roleplay and then we could have a lot of character interaction there. And wasn't this inspired by Lord of the Flies anyway? It just seems fitting to me. Plus, I don't want to copy lost! :U

But it seems my opinion has already been outvoted so it doesn't matter now

Don't feel bad, the length is more than adequate and the character is neat ^^ I particularly like his mask and bladed wings.

The app is very well done. I like the idea of a classy, rapier wielding, pirate who uses psychological warfare along with her cannons. Can't wait to see how she fights

it says alcohol CAN be substituted. You don't have to, I just though it would be fitting since... well... I don't know actually. XD Use it if you want i guess.

oh, and does anyone else have fun reading all of this with the music? x3 I think I'm enjoying it a bit too much to be honest

Look under the character applications spoiler. It's the first one.

edit: thanks all! ;D

The rifle is fine. Just remember how limited they are in this era. ^^ the history is well done too.

Also, all of your statuses are either missing, or unbolded. I think it's really cool to read that part so if you could, just add that in there. It's not something that stops me from accepting an app, it just adds a nice little touch to it

I'm loving all of the characters we have so far ^^ I added an approved characters list now. Sorry for any confusion.

Can't wait to see what other people come up with. So many possibilities with pirates. x3

And Duskbreeze, it seems you have a captain. Go ahead and get started on your character's app ^^

I've been ninja'd at my own rp 0.o anyway... here's my character's app ^^

Status: "The Legend Continues" Ponies know the name. Being one of the last legal pirates tends to get you some attention. Rumors about his combat style also tend to get around, but he makes sure they're just rumors. >:3

Name: Captain Black Mane! (somepony had to do it )

Sex: Male

Age: Stallion. Old enough to laugh a hearty laugh

Species: Earth pony

Eye Color: Sky blue

Coat Color: Dark grey

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: His mane is jet black, scruffy, braided at the tips, and thick with salt. His tail is no better.

(General appearance): he’s got a five o’clock shadow and a toughened look in his eye, yet, there’s also a spark of excitement and thrill in what he does. His braids have rings in them, making a jingle sound when he turns his head. He wears a bandana that’s a lighter black than his mane. He also wears a brown coat.

(Ship description): Built for ramming and survivability, picture a solid looking vessel with a large bow that has a metal point.

(Weapons/Fighting style): "Likes to toss things with a fuse and watch what happens." Black Mane uses makeshift bombs, and lots of them. The inside of his coat is lined to the brim with a variety of grenades and explosives, but is somehow kept well hidden. This lets Black Mane pull out a surprise or two in battle. He also has a scimitar tied to his coat, near his mouth, for easy reach.

(Lifelong dream as a pirate/whatever they are): Being one of the last legal pirates, he’s just out there, enjoying his job.

(Personality): Refers to his crew as scallywags a lot. Treats them like family and they respect him. If anything it's because they know of his explosives.

“Yarhar, that’s it scallywags! We be set sail for Colt’s cove and soon we can sell this raid! First round of Cider be on you! Bwahaha” Captain Black Mane called to his crew, celebrating and raising spirits all around the ship. He had just completed a successful raid on a trading vessel and cargo consisting of apples from exotic lands now filled the hull of his own ship. After hearing the celebratory cheer that arose from main deck, he turned back and entered his cabin. He turned to a plaque on the wall with an admiring glance. It was his certificate that made him a legal pirate, signed by the Royal Princess herself. Without that, he would sail into some deep waters with the navy and be forced to turn to the black market of the seas. Not that this was impossible to do without getting caught, but being a legal Pirate made everything so much easier. Not to mention free rite of passage in any waters under the Empire’s control. This was one of the few remaining certificates of its kind and having it was something of a treasure in itself. After kissing it awkwardly he turned back out to the main deck and stared at the ocean with a challenging look on his face, as if he was daring the seas to try and stop his streak of luck!

Welcome fellow sea adventurer! I see you're interested in living the legend of a pirate! But as a pony! Well this is the place to do just that! I ask you to please check the OOC thread for this RolePlay before getting started. There's also a link to some fitting music there, so go check it out! And remember, this is all in the name of good fun. ^^

Welcome fellow sea adventurer! I see you’re interested in living the legend of a pirate! But as a pony! Well this is the place to rest your hooves after a long roleplaying post. Feel free to discuss anything out of character here!

I encourage you to click this and listen while you read and roleplay.

or this.

This is where the rules of the RP and character descriptions will be kept, along with any questions I have not covered. If you have a question that you want to keep secret, then I ask you to PM me about it. (I don’t bite :3)

List of General rules (These are subject to change in the future.)

-This is NOT a reenactment of the ponies of the carribbean pirates of the Caribbean, although themes and references are welcome.

-I will NOT allow invincible ships such as the black pearl or invincible anything for that matter. You are a mortal pony in the times of pirate warfare.

-I will NOT allow Jack Sparrow characters T_T

-I will DISCOURAGE on-land role play. Let's try to keep this to the ships in the water. However that doesn’t mean you can’t go on land. I just discourage it.

-I will NOT allow technology that doesn't fit the era. You have flintlock pistols, blunderbusses, swords, hooks, daggers, cannons, makeshift grenades, unicorn magic, eye patches and cool hats. Don't give your OC a laser gun >.>

-I will allow the taking of prisoners. But these prisoners must have some sort of chance to escape or at least interact with other players. May that be the involvement of a third party or some random event you make up. (this can be discussed here, or through a pm)

-I will NOT allow the killing off of characters unless the player of that character is willing. (this can be discussed here, or through a pm)

-Alcohol can be substituted for Cider or Berry juice. rule abolished because it's pirates, we've gotta have rum XD

-You are allowed to play as many characters as you want. I just ask that you keep things reasonable, and for each character you make a basic app.

-I will allow shipping… cus it’s pirates, there are ships :3

-I will allow romantic relationships should anyone want to do that. Keep it PG13 >.< (this can be discussed here, or through a pm)

-Alliances are permitted. (this can be discussed here, or through a pm)

-Should you choose to have your character die off (because you want their legend to end, or because they’re boring to play), you can post about it here and continue playing with another character, provided the app is set.

-tl;dr notes will take effect now. Summarize what just happened in your post into 1 or 2 sentences. I'm not asking anything fancy, just a quick note so that those who aren't actually involved can know what's going on without having to read everything. A general location of your character is strongly encouraged. This note will go at the bottom of your post in parentheses.

My wish list of things I’ve always wanted to have in a pirate rp ^^

-ghost pirates (they have weaknesses too )

-sea pony pirates (this rp is just asking for one, c’mon people)

-airship pirates (my steampunk side is showing)

-back stabbing navy members that support the pirates

-secret pirate lair battles

-treasure hunts being sabotaged

There, I think that’s everything…. OH! Wait! Character apps! Fill one out for each character you play as; add as much as you want, but at LEAST give a basic visual description.

Everything bolded is required. (Everything in parenthesis is optional) feel free to add more as you see fit.

For the record I love how we have a derpy hooves and rainbowdash already x3

I'll be using Skyglare for this one

Name: Skyglare

Gender: Male

Race: Wings... meaning Pegasus (This is not being overused at all, I swear */sarcasm*)

Brief History: Works as an event coordinator/planner for the weather patrol. A special title that brought Skyglare a solid sense of pride.

Looks:

Eye color: ████████████ Hazel with a golden hue.

Coat Color: ████████████

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style:████████████ Being a pegasis, his mane is wind blown and teased but not un-kept. It's length goes down the back of his neck. His tail has the same style and has a decent length to it as well. The color is a solid cherrywood red

Cutie Mark: A sun glare (Like how a camera passes over the sun it will give off a glare, something like this) and if you REALLY want a story, check out his app! :U

Personality: Skyglare is upbeat, easy going, and extroverted. He enjoys the company of others and thrives in the spotlight. He has a good sense of humor but can take jokes aimed at him personally. He can be seen as optimistic but he only feels this way if he has the encouragement and praise from others.

Likes and dislikes: likes to glide around in his spare time and make cloud art at sunrise/sunset (read teh app :U) also just laying in a cloud is fun for Skyglare. Dislikes rude ponies and insults, even if they're in the form of a joke.

Character flaws: Takes insults to heart, has some touchy deep feelings. (great for some insanity latter >:3)

Could your character possibly ever be a leader? Would s/he have any desire to?: being the event coordinator of the weather patrol... yes...

Random fact: This is the character that I have most fun shipping with ;3 not that I plan on doing that or anything.

Anything I left out..? ^^ : FAVORITE COLOR IS ORANGE!!!! ..that was completely necessary...

oh, and age is borderline between older colt to younger stallion

There. I feel like I have a decent application. ^^

You have my interest ^^ I'll tag along.

I have not forgotten about this, I just lost my motivation. But now I have it again and will post everything soon
