I'll go ahead and post my character sheet.<br/><br/>Name: "Bloody" Sam Flint<br/><br/>Rank: Captain of the Red Hand<br/><br/>Description: (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/029/f/1/Dashing_young_pirate_lad_by_sheldonsartacademy.jpg)<br/>Sam stands about 5'11" with black hair that is usually short and unkempt. His clothes remain that of a street urchin but over the top of them he wears a large red and gold greatcoat that he took from the captain of the first ship they commandeered. He also wore the dead captains old hat but that was now tattered and burned and he really only wore in when on what he would call "official captains business" on shore. The Red Hand Gang ranges in age from the same as Sam to as young as five or six, but any one of them is trained and capable of pulling a gun on you at any moment. Sam and the Red Hands are best characterized as Peter Pan and his group of Lost Boys.<br/><br/>Personality: Sam is young and headstrong. He is the leader of the Red Hand Gang and, in turn, the captain of the pirate ship they named after their gang. In only a short amount of time he has learned to be a leader to his clan of orphans, runaways, and misfits and therefore holds a large amount of responsibility for a man of twenty. But he still manages a devilishly fun loving and carefree attitude that keeps his gang's attention and loyalty.<br/>Basic History: Sam spent most of his childhood in the St. Mary Orphanage in a coastal town in Spain. It was him and ten other children in the old stone orphanage and they were all looked after by one elderly nun who was slowly going senile. She did her best to care for them, but she could barely care for herself as the years went on. Sam was the first of the orphans to begin stealing from shops and tourists in order to get food for everyone, though it didn't take long for the others to join in to help out. Before long even the youngest of the children would help as decoys so the others could take in a bigger haul.<br/><br/>When same was fifteen the old nun finally took ill and was soon dead. The orphans cried for the woman who had been their closest thing to a mother and buried her under the tree that grew behind the old stone building. The old nun hadn't so much been their caretaker for the past few years, as Sam and the other older children had been taking care of her, but she had been their only moral compass, and with her gone there was nothing to keep the children of the orphanage from thriving the only way they knew how.<br/><br/>Sam Took over as the obvious leader of the group and made the old stone building their headquarters. After that the group got much more aggressive; ransacking shops, stopping carriages, even stealing the cache of a military caravan. Sam and his gang became known as the Red Hand Gang, one of the most ruthless groups on the Spanish coast. Nobody was willing to set foot near their old stone hideout except for the new orphans and misfits that were constantly showing up to seek refuge and become a new member.<br/><br/>It was on Sam's twentieth birthday, while he was standing on the rocky shore with two of his captains, they happened to spy an altercation between a Spanish naval ship and another ship flying a black flag. The fight didn't take long, the Spanish ship was burning and the pirates were boarding the disabled ship. Sam and his two captains watched the whole scene from beginning to end "That's where the real treasure is..." Sam said, still looking off after the retreating pirate ship "...We just need a ship."<br/><br/>When the Red Hand Gang set out to get something it didn't take them long, nobody expects their numbers and level of ferocity, especially from people so young. They hijacked a strong ship from the Spanish navy and the Red Hang Gang was sea bound and for the last two years have pillaged and plundered their way across the waters to the Caribbean, land of pirating opportunity.<br/><br/>The Red Hand<br/>http://www.mydreamsailboat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Brig-Unicorn.jpg<br/><br/>The Red Hand is a Brig that has been modified for extra ramming ability and ten cannons in all, five on each side.<br/><br/>
