"You have heard it. The days are done. Piracy has become a brutal lifestyle for the most vicious of people. The average lifespan is grim. The riches are sparse but the desperation is intense. We may not be here for that much longer, so let us bring the last of our joys and sufferings too its end." -The sayings of the last living pirate.
A crew of four pirate captains looking to recruit individuals in a last ditch effort too make some money and glory for themselves. After a horrible effort gone wrong they have been forced too become a part of one ship. This alliance is only temporary though as once they find their fill of riches they plan on splitting and finding their own way afterwards.
You have probably heard of them. The British East India Trading Company. The British system of slavery and drug trading in the region mimicking those of the Spaniards. They hold serious power in the ocean and their system is as brutal as it is efficient. They have become more acute at not only taking over the ocean but taking over any worthwhile properties in the process. Our goal here is simple, to take what they tax from the people. They may not be called pirates but the ugliness of their actions are no different than ours.
Their captains are fearless and the individuals who lead these armada's are prepared for their violent foray with the so called criminals. Spanish, French, Dutch and Portuguese empires are also taking their claim. With China itself trying too take up in defending its own waterways.
This will be a place where magic and technology also clash. Elements once thought of as fantasy will be rampant among the new world as people create societies within these new lands. Whatever the previous natives have left behind may cause worry and fear. As the plagues that sickened them have left very little behind except, pain, suffering and anger.

This will be something I am planning on creating but first trying too see what people think. It will be a roleplay where a group of four pirate captains are searching for individuals too join them. They have recently broken out from prison and have been forced too rely on one another too escape the hunters chasing them. Needing a crew, they have also swore on helping one another until they have required their own ships and crews. This has led too a unfortunate situation of trust which has troubled the group. Sea monsters roam the ocean, the lands of Mesoamerica have been fabled of gold, as well as the introduction of things like werewolves and vampires have made their ways too this region. It seems like a mix of everything awful and while this is all happening the East and its history are making things interesting as well.
It will be a roleplay focused on exploration, figuring out to deal with awful scenarios and wondering who too trust as there will be guns aimed at all sides.
These are the last days of piracy. It is your final chance to make a haul and a future as the seas become conquered and quelled by businessmen.
