OOC info
Hello, and thank you for checking out our carrd! We are a chill group of friends who just love playing pirates. We occasionally run content, play other games (Jackbox, Sea of Thieves, etc) in our discord, and chill in VC!We run FC only events every so often (perhaps once a month / every other month) which are either social or combat-based, and are often throwing our lads all around Mateus as well for public RP. We would love to expand our little crew with some like-minded individuals!

The Rules
The Pirate Code
Love thy Neighbor"Rule number one: kindly refrain from killing each other. I've brought each and every one of you aboard for a reason: you are talented individuals, and an essential cog in this grand design. Do treat each other as such. No stealing from one another, no stabbing one another (unless it's game night) and kindly no conspiring or scheming off the clock. Defend each other, cooperate with each other, and if a member of the crew goes down you had damned well do your best to not leave them behind. We are stronger together, we all lift together." - GaultierI. No killing each other. The punishment for murder is execution.II. No stealing from individuals or the company. The punishment for theft is marooning and (1) finger relinquished.III. No conspiring against the company or individuals. The punishment for malicious machinations is marooning and (1) tongue relinquished. The punishment for mutiny is execution.IV. No deserting individuals or the company during combat. The punishment for deserters is marooning and (1) ear relinquished.V. All individuals have a vote and a voice; each shall be called in turn and given fair chance and forum to speak.Sharing is Caring"The division of funds acquired shall be in equal parts amongst participating parties to each individual job/haul. The captain shall receive an additional 15% for general repairs/maintenance of the ship, stock and ammunitions, marketing, and other miscellaneous investments. Should a member of the crew become ill / injured and unable to perform assigned duties despite their willingness, they shall still receive 50% of their initial cut as well as due time to rest and recover.

If you have any questions or concerns about your 'role', I encourage you to come to me so that we may discuss it. Perhaps with a bit of improv! Speak less of it if you must, but kindly do not give the game away."
"Right! Well, that is about it for now. Everything else is sort of case-by-case, we'll play it by ear. Thank you for your attention." - GaultierX. Play along. "Yes, and" only, no "No, buts". Those who do not play along will be flogged.XI. No snitching or alluding to illegal affairs on land. Loose tongues will be relinquished and snitches will be keel-hauled.XII. No cats. Gaultier's allergic and we keep birds. Any cats on board will be deposited at the nearest port and the owner will be flogged.
