The Pirate AU Meme
Ahoy there me hearties and so on and so forth.
Your characters are now pirates! Sailing the open seas in search of prizes for the taking, engaging in daring battles, drinking rum, getting shipwrecked and everything else it is that pirates do.
1. Post your character, feel free to leave your post blank or drop in a brief description of who/what they are. Pirates, cabin boys, whores, naval officers, the Caribbean is your oyster!
2. Tag other characters, enjoy piratey goodness! There are prompts below for inspiration, or make something up yourselves!
3. ???
4. Profit!
Prompts
Relationships
1. Natural Enemies - pirate vs navy, pirate vs pirate, native vs pirate, whatever the combination, you're supposed to be at odds with each other.
2. Crewmates - You sail together, you fight together, you may or may not die for each other. Nowhere does it say you have to like each other.
3. Land and Sea - you're a sailor, they're a farmer, a plantation owner, a shopkeeper, a whore in a brothel, you only see them when you're in port so you better make it count
4. Hierarchy - They're your captain, your boss, or generally just higher up in the food chain than you.
5. Somebody else - Your choice!
Scenarios
1. Before the battle - you're preparing to take a prize, or take on the navy, are you ready?
2. Mid battle - Fight! Fight! Fight!
3. The Aftermath - You're licking your wounds, counting your prize, taunting your prisoners...whatever you're doing, the fight is over.
4. Downtime - You're in port, who knows how long for, it's time to party as only a pirate can
5. Stranded - Stuck on a beach, becalmed in the middle of the ocean, you're going nowhere fast
6. Sailing, Sailing - It's day to day life out on the open water, nothing could possibly go wrong
7. Choose Your Own Adventure - Whatever else you want to come up with!
