Era of Pirates[/color]
The fifteen hundreds. The golden age of pirates is one that will not be forgotten and left in the past, no sir. However, this is no longer the fifteen hundreds. The year is 3027 and the world has changed drastically, maybe for better, maybe for worse, it all depends on your point of view.
The world went back to absolute monarchies more than a few centuries ago, and the absolute power the royalty is holds once more, comes the corruption and greed with it. However, along the return of the ruling class, come along those that disagree with it. The so-called scum of the world, who just do what they can to survive. Among this 'scum' are the pirates.
The individual countries themselves have been lost in the pages of times, remnants do remain, such as languages, traditions and things like that. There are now seven major nations in the world, super nations you could call them. For example, where North America used to be, the remnants of Canada, America, and Mexico, now today form Americae.
In the world today as well, there are three main ships and their captains are not people to be trifled with. The crews however come from all over, each with a back story of their own as to why they turned to this life to survive. Some will do it for the money, others for the freedom this life brings, and even some for the danger of what may happen if you are caught by one of the royal navies. The Navies of course have their own three most powerful ships and their crews.
As the law states: All pirates and/or private buccaneers that are captured be it on land or in water, are to be brought to the nearest port and will be charged with the death penalty and are reverse-hung immediately.
Below you will find the signatures of every regent across the globe.
This warning hangs on all buildings in every port around the world, just to remind the people of the dangers they face if they turn to a life of piracy to live. And yet still so many people do.
However, there are those as well that want to see this law always upheld, and want pirates wiped out completely. These people are the members of the Imperial Navies. Mariners who are looked up to by some, and held in contempt by others. They come from all places, and each has a different back story as well, and their own reasons for hunting down pirates for a living.
You will have your ship, position, and whether you are a pirate or member of the navy assigned to you. Just remember that all actions have consequences, some more so than others.[/size][/color][/b][/i]
