Okay, so we all love the Pirates of the Caribbean, am I right? But sometimes, the films can really infuriate you. If you were Elizabeth, you wouldn’t have done that, would you? Should Will have waited after the opportune moment? No. I would have done different things, too.
So, here you can! Parlez is an entirely different PotC roleplay. You don’t have to worry about the events in the films, as they haven’t happened here. This is an alternate universe PotC, where Captain Jack Sparrow wasn’t marooned, they didn’t find the treasure of Cortez, Norrington didn’t lose his standing – although he is still Commodore – and Will is unfortunately still a blacksmith, with no idea about his father. On a different note, though, Barbossa didn’t mutiny, but managed to steal – sorry, commandeer: that’s a nautical term – a ship from the British fleet, the Southern Queen, and now is a Captain in his own right.
Shall we ever take the events of the films into our roleplay? I don’t know… you decide! On top of the fresh slate, ripe for fresh ideas, the plot is always up for discussion, and your ideas are as good as mine. All of the canon characters can be played, so don’t worry about some being banned, as well as anyone from your own imagination.
One other thing… even though all of the PotC series is set in the past, I’ve changed the rules slightly. This is a separate universe, so women can become Captains, Commodores, and all sorts. Yes, on land they are treated just as you would expect, but they are respected at sea. This means that anyone can be a pirate! Of course, there could be personal feelings against women being Captains and so on, but that’s all in character stuff that I’m not going to get into.
Right. There you have it! Parlez, an entirely different kind of PotC roleplay, ready for adventure. We can’t wait for you to visit, savvy?
