((First of all, let me reiterate that this is a sequel of the completed RPG "Pirates!" If you are interested in joining us and were not involved in the RPG or at least following it (as I know a few people were), then either read through the RPG itself (preferable, but understandably a bit time-consuming) or pm me for a basic summary of all that transpired. Until you've completed one of the above tasks, everything that follows from here probably won't make much sense.))

~Synopsis~
Nearly nine months has passed since the death of Davy Jones at the hands of Jack Sparrow, and the subsequent retreat of Lord Cutler Beckett. Captain Sparrow has resumed the Flying Dutchman's original duty of guiding souls to the land of the dead. The Black Pearl, now under the command of Captain William Turner, remains the second-fastest ship to sail the seas and the greatest pirate threat in the Caribbean. Captain Turner's wife, Elizabeth, is expecting their first child and is currently dwelling ashore until she is able to resume her work aboard the Pearl.
Despite the seemingly idyllic nature of their lives, however, a growing threat lurks on the horizon. Hindered by the loss of the Dutchman, but not defeated, Lord Beckett has begun to assemble a massive armada with one purpose in mind: ridding the world of piracy. In retaliation, the Pearl has started targeting only ships of the East India Trading Company and thwarting what attacks she can. And though Jack's focus remains chiefly on his duties, the Dutchman is not above returning to attack the occasional EITC ship. Despite their combined efforts, however, more and more pirates are steadily being killed in battle or sent to their death at the gallows. Something more must be done to stop Beckett, or piracy -and the world as they know it- may cease to exist.

~Characters~
Because this is a continuation of a previous RPG, many of the main roles (i.e.- Jack, Elizabeth, Will, etc) are already filled. However, there will be many new characters arriving in this RPG (especially once we reach the Brethren Court), as well as some smaller roles that have been left empty by various people leaving. If you desperately want an already-claimed role (mainly one of mine) and truly think that you will do a good job with it (and will be staying with us, rather than dropping out after a month), then send me a pm and I might do something about it. Otherwise, there be plenty o' new faces for claimin'.

~The Code~
- I know they're pirates, but keep it as close to PG as can be managed (if you wouldn't post it elsewhere, don't post it here)
- Don't join if you don't plan on sticking around; the last RPG lasted almost 11 months, and there were only 3 of us left at the end
- Ask before signing up as an OC; if at all possible, I'd rather fill up all the canon spots first
- Try to remain semi-literate; I'm not asking for page-long responses every time, but a few well-constructed complex sentences never hurt anybody
- Have fun
__________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: We will not be starting just yet. If all the roles get filled quickly, we might begin this week, but otherwise there's about a two-week span in which I will not be available, so it'll wait until then to start.

I can never remember which pirate has a wooden eye...
