Adela Sheppard has suffered great loss at the hands of Captain Jean Foccard, and she is ready to take revenge. Now she needs a new crew to go with her new ship. She's got fire in her chest and two days in Port Royal to find her crew before she can take her revenge by stealing Captain Foccard most prized treasure from him, famed to be worth more than your wildest dreams.
Hello, welcome, I hope you love pirates as much as I do. Basically my character has a lot of experience with pirating and is now the captain of a ship and is looking for a crew so she can get revenge on Captain Foccard. She will find all of your characters in Port Royal and will recruit them for her crew. If anyone needs a list of possible roles your character can fill on a ship, let me know.
Now the fun stuff.

Other (optional):
Adela walked from the docks deep into the bustling center of Port Royal. The sun set against the horizon behind her, casting everything in golden light. Her boots clicked on the cobblestones and the wind whipped her coat around her ankles. Above her, women in corsets and lowcut dresses leaned out of window sills, making eyes at the men below them, who had just started to walk into the many taverns and drinking halls that filled the streets.
Her keen brown eyes cut around, searching for danger, possible crew members, possible enemies, and good places to find a drink. She had been here once before when she younger with an old crewmate of hers. "Keep your head high Adela," she had said. "Watch out for the drunk men and the slavers." Adela walked into the low doorway of a tavern that was already filling up fast. She ordered an ale at the bar, being sure to rest her arm on the handle of her sword, so the bartender wouldn't get any funny ideas. She slipped him a few extra coins to point anyone looking to join a new crew in her direction.
She took her drink to the back of the tavern, picking a table in a corner. She propped her feet up on the table and took a sip, prepared to sit, drink, and watch.
