__________________________________________________________

Name: Johnathan Bracegirdle
SP: 700
Role: Master**
Bounty: 2.000.000
Brief Description: A salty officer of the (...), firm and resolute he will never disobey a superior he respects. White curly hair over a salty aging face of a man having seen over 30 years at sea. His body showing rapid signs of old age kicking in, he was still in maervelous shape and possessed a body most young upstarts could merely dream about. He is fair, loyal and rescourceful even in the face of utter despair. He serves as the captains voice, managing the operations of the crew to make sure they carry out the captains wishes in the best possible way.


Name: Christian Eccleston
SP: 300
Role: Acting Leutenant
Bounty: 300.000
Brief Description: A young lad of 17 who has risen in the ranks of the (...) faster then anyone else. A midshipman at the age of 16, he had his first command only 4 months into his career and was instantly recognized as quite capable despite unorthodox methods. He is a joyful lad, a jester still lingering from his days of being a careless seaman. This carries through to our current date, and shines through every so often despite his high rank. He is kind, fair and lighthearted when outside battle, but cuts all pretenses of bullshit once the firing starts. Despite his lack of years, his calm and clarity in battle have lead the (...) to many a victory against impossible odds. Loved and cherished by the rest of the crew more then respected, there is not a man who would raise their voice against him.


Name: Arnfeld Hepplewhite
SP: 400
Role: Warrant-officer, Surgeon.
Bounty: 300.000
Brief Description: Another salty dog, Hepplewhite has spent over 20years stitching together bleeding sailors with rusty hatchets and sterile utensils alike. He is like the medical macgyver, he can heal your collapsed lung with bubblegum and a hairpin. His face carries his years of experience, and he constantly expresses a "no-bullshit" attitude. He will tell it to you straight from the gutter, and doesnt give a shit about ranks or formality. He fixes sailors and thats it, if you want something else you can fuck off (his words, not mine, i swear)


Name: Rickard Foster
SP: 550
Role: Warrant-officer, Master of Arms
Bounty: 700.000
Brief Description: A somewhat eccentric gunner who was promoted to Master of Arms after he single-handedly affixed two broken cannons together in order to stretch a chain between the cannonballs loaded, resulting in a shot that clipped all 4 masts of a chasing dreadnought. He was deemed a hero by the crew, and reprimanded for being a careless fucking lunatic by the other officers. Even so, they could not deny his expertice in cannoneering and tinkering was second to none, and assigned him the rank of Warrant Officer. He is a brazen, confident young man with a reckless disregard for his own safety in the face of science. He would fire a 25pounder through the captains quarters while th captain was sleeping just to test how protected the front door was, and if it needed strengthening.


Name: Marcus Kapling
SP: 600
Role: Midshipman
Bounty: 1.200.000
Brief Description: An ex-marine Captain who converted to the (...) shortly after the incident at Saobody. He is a recluse on the ship and despite having responsiblities on deck, is rarely seen outside of combat. He is a brilliant strategist, when he wants to. A master with the pistol, when he can be arsed to. And considered very handsome, when he can be found. He wears his old marine cloak over his Midshipman uniform, which helps hide his astonishingly long hair, reaching all the way down to where they touch his ankles. He was in his 40'ies, and his face had that dark mysterious look to him that attracted women everywhere he went. He carries two flintlock pistols in his belt, and a musket on his back which had been modified to be breach-loaded rather then muzzle-loaded, allowing him to reload quicker and without having to retract the long-ass musket to stick a bullet in it. Beware tho, touch his weapons and you lose the hand.


Name: Jokum "Widget" Bolton
SP: 650
Role: Midshipman
Bounty: 4.000.000
Brief Description: Mr. Bolton is a very stout man in the (...), and the senior Midshipman on the crew. Not much is known about his past before the (...), but from experiences with him the other crewmembers are guessing he had something to do with something very very bad. When awake, he is strongwilled and with a deep booming voice that would lead sleepy or drunk people to believe it was thunder. He is a big fan of the "structure", and protects the chain of command and the articles of war above all else. A gentleman, and a scholar, he serves as Midshipman with the sole privelegue of exerting justice onboard. He is Judge, and although the rest of the crew are jury, he is also executioner. When not awake however, a weaker person emerges haunted by cries of help and brutal nightmares.
He is a big man by normal human standards, and would bump beards with Garp if the two met. Strong of mind and body, he commands deep respect from almost all of the rookies onboard who look up to him.


Name: Maddock Pellew
SP: 950
Role: Acting Captain
Bounty: 8.000.000
Brief Description: Pellew became the acting captain after the captain of the (...) met his end at the hands of (...), and have done a damn fine job at it. His seamanship is first-class, and the crew respect him deeply out of knowing he will get them safely out of any situation. Wise beyond his years, he sports 30 years on this earth 15 of which he has spent at sea. He is stern, but also kind and fair. Many crewmembers who have been leased to other ships on the fleet have come back requesting to never again leave Pellews side, as most feel him to be a "perfect" captain. His real rank however is Lieutenant, and despite commanding the crew he does not carry the authoroty of a real Captain. He is averagely built, and extremely nimble in combat wielding a pistol in his left hand and a sword in his right. He is highly rescourceful, with a talent for seeing ways through a battlefield none would think of, and as a result is a marvelous tactitian who rallies, inspires and organizes the other pirates fighting under him to a much more effective single unit.


Name: Tom Mason
SP: 1100
Role: Warrant officer, Carpenter's mate
Bounty: None
Brief Description: Tom is a young lad of 19 years who serves as the Shipwright on the (...). The Carpenter on the ship have been missing since Saoboady along with the captain, and so passed his duties on the young Mr. Mason. His expertice is top notch and way beyond his years, although he preferrs sneaking away to build random gadgets out of of old scrap in the rear hold to traditional carpentry. He is a positive, trusting lad that havent yet been hardened by the terror of battle, despite having seen quite a few. Hes expressive, gets excited by the wierdest things, and treats battle like a playground.
Tom's Appearance:


Name: George Hammond
SP: 700
Role: Warrant officer, Boatswain
Bounty: 1.400.000
Brief Description: Mr. Hammond is one greasy monkey. As the boatswain he has the responsibility for sails, ropes, anchors, the deck itself and the general maintenance of their everyday equipment. A glorified janitor, he is often seen swinging between the masts from rope to rope like a monkey to fasten certain knots and haul sails. When not, he can often be found in the Lookout-bucket gazing over the horizon. He is a serious man, which seems to contradict the reckless and playful manner in which he swings between the masts. With a stern face that doesnt seem to reach to anything. Mr Foster once put Mr Hammonds pokerface to the test by staging the death of everyone on the ship except him, still he did not seem to flinch and merely proceeded to haul down sails and gather the dead calmly. Despite this emotionless conduct, he is generally perceived as a warm welcoming person. He radiates a stern, solid type of feeling that makes you feel safe just by standing next to him. Large, broad over the shoulders and with a remarkably strong and agile body for his build, the crew often joked that if he should ever miss a grip and fall to the deck, hed sink them all.


Name: Catherine Wharfedale
SP: 1000
Role: Senior Lieutenant, "Powerhouse" section
Bounty: 12.000.000
Brief Description: Catherine is the only remaining member of the Powerhouse Section of the (...) still on the crew. And as such, is the only person on the ship with any considerable fighting ability. She wields the Ammo Ammo fruit, and is able to create and control any type of ammunition like arrows, javelins, spears, harpoons, ballista bolts and any other long medieval piercing projectile aswell as slugs, bullets and cannonballs. Potentially its been said the number of projectiles she can make are limitless, but the reality is that she isnt that good at creating big or many objects at once. As such she spent her years training her accuracy and control to a masterful level, the to the point where a single arrow could pierce the hull of a wooden Ship-of-the-Line if she concentrated hard enough. She is a semi-naive, childish woman who pretends to be mature and responsible, and does a very good job at it. Most of the crew still believe her to be the tough Lieutenant-chan they see on deck, and only the captain and Mr. Eccleston has seen her revert to her old self under the effects of alcohol. She is loyal, fair and kind and will protect her crewmates with her life.
