The Tale So Far

September, 1741:

Madre de Dios, a Spanish galleon loaded with gold, is on her way back to Europe with her convoy. But an ambush lies in wait for her in the Inaguas – the Sea Hound is planning a bold assault on the larger ship, her pirate crew willing to risk it all for gold and glory. But Sea Hound is both predator and prey, as the HMS Steadfast closes in for another encounter with her quarry. The deadly showdown between the three forces is fast approaching...

Hey guys, just throwing this out there. Here's Riley in a nutshell: He steals (From crewmembers, he might pocket something small and insignificant unnoticed) , he makes fun of people, he kills without thought, and he never thinks. AKA, he's an adrenaline junky, xD. So I assumed I would make a thread with the "possibilities" of threading with the said crazy guy.

Friends: Pretty self-explanatory; Riley's friends. I think this one would be a pretty easy relationship. "Friending" with Riley would probably mean you are to be bothered, smirked at, and basically getting caught up in his troubles. Feel free to choose this.

Frenemies: Same as friends and enemies, lol.

Enemies: You hate the little bastard: He insults you, he annoys you constantly, he's probably gotten into a fight with you! The insolence of that maniac! You hate his guts! Yeah, that's how his enemies see him. I would see this as a bowl of fun for you guys, XD.

Lovers: This one is much tougher, lots of ups and downs with this one. You can give it a try, we'll see how it turns out.

Family: He doesn't have any family, so not sure how this one would work.

Well, that's it! You can reply below with ideas and such, blah blah blah. Thanks for reading!

Well... Riley is a pirate now, and he can't steal anymore. It is aganist the articles of agreement:

if they defrauded the company to the value of a dollar in plate, jewels, or money, marooning was their punishment. If the robbery was only betwixt one another, they contented themselves with slitting the ears and nose of him that was guilty, and set him on shore, not in an uninhabited place, but somewhere, where he was sure to encounter hardships. (Bartholomew Roberts' articles)

III. If any Man shall steal any Thing in the Company, or game, to the Value of a Piece of Eight, he shall be marooned or shot. (Captain John Phillips's articles)

V. He that is found Guilty of Gaming, or Defrauding one another to the value of a Royal of Plate, shall suffer what Punishment the Captain and the Majority of the Company shall think fit. (Articles of Edward Low and George Lowther)

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_code )

I am Sol, the captain, and I watch the observing of the articles, so he'd better behave! And as long as he does his duty and fights well, he will be respected.
