Calibration-Master General
"In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labour; in this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power. And who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sour look or two at choking. No, a merry life and a short one, that shall be my motto."
Captain Bartholomew 'Black Bart' Roberts
If you haven't guessed from the name and the quote, this is a pirate RP. Set in post-dragon-crisis Tamriel, 4E 254, where flintlock weapons have quickly become fairly commonplace, members will play notorious pirate captains, in charge of their own ships; ranging from small, speedy, agile schooners to colossal, indomitable galleons. Each of these captains will be part of the governing 'council' of the Republic of Free Men, established 4E 252, where men and women can live as free as the gods intended, unburdened by laws and monarchic government. The Republic has its fair share of enemies; the Imperial and Aldmeri Navies among them. Needless to say, the Republic is hanging on by a thread, just barely treading the line between raiding enough to survive and raiding so much that the governments notice and send their fleets to wipe the pirates off the map.Captain Bartholomew 'Black Bart' Roberts
Your job, as one of the most feared, successful and intimidating pirates of Tamriel, is to find that balance, to maintain the freedom for anyone who wants it.
Now, to business; unfortunately, we're not recruiting at this time. We already have a full cast, but will update this post with any vacancies if and when they pop up. Feel free to post a CC anyway for later consideration; it will certainly help you along and give you an advantage in who is picked to fill the spot.

Shot types
- Round shot: solid spherical cast-iron shot, standard shot used in combat.
- Chain shot: two iron balls joined together with a chain. Typically used against rigging or masts.
- Grapeshot: stacks of smaller round shot wrapped in canvas. When fired, each shot scatters. Typically used against enemy officers or boarding parties.
- Canister shot: tin cans filled with musket balls. Cans broke open upon firing to release a shotgun-like effect of musket balls, for use against enemy personnel.
- Exploding shell: a thin iron shell filled with explosive materials. Ideally only fired by mortars. Light the fuse and fire; does a lot of damage to both personnel and ship structure. Very difficult to come across, and only used in last resort circumstances due to the high price of the explosives.
