Hi all!

My name is Stede Bonnet, Gentleman Pirate. I'm sure some of you may know me, but if you don't you soon will! I'm currently looking for crew to sail together and have many adventures while we're here. Duties include looking after one another, talking it through, mending experience a plus but not necessary and someone to take notes. If you're interested, or know me! Please reply as soon as you can.


Also if anyone has seen Blackbeard or a tall man named Ed with long salt and pepper hair that is incredibly handsome and charming and probably the most amazing man I've ever known, please let me know.

And...if you're here, Ed, if you can hear me... [his voice breaks and he clears his throat] I've got some things to say to you as well. Starting with... I'm sorry.

I'm good at my job- I've quite a few tricks up my sleeve, along with experience of going unnoticed when needed. [A claw lightly tapped against that mask of his.] It's improved from the initial versions of it. Does the job, leaves a hell of an impression.

[And it could chill some to the bone in the right circumstances; loved that for himself, even if he'd never say it out loud.

Shoulders rolled.]

Over thirty years of military experience, commander of a few different groups. I'm also a strategist with a large number of battles under my belt, more wins than losses. [There was no bragging to the tone, clearly stating facts. He was a hell of a strategist, a reason his higher ups couldn't get rid of him despite wanting to due to the fact he would argue when he knew he was right and question them to no end.

He knew how to get a job done, no matter what it took.]

Alright, those are all excellent attributes. [he can work with those, though he hopes it's not going to be too serious because one Izzy Hands is one Izzy Hands too many]

And what are your own personal goals? Ambitious? Dreams? What's one thing you've wanted to do but have never done?

[Hell of a career, that was for sure. Some regrets, but that was what hard choices were at times. Better to make them himself than leave it up to those it would crush to a point of breaking. Then again, he knew very well his position back home so he could play those cards.

There was a chuckle, created a little more of that black 'smoke' to curl from the sides of his mask.]

Play outside of the rulebook, for one. Better to keep people guessing, don't you think? [Oh, he wasn't going to admit to the truth of much behind what he did, of course.] Freedom, and the chance to live that life.

Not much I haven't done by my age. Did once live in the city where some run off to have their dreams come true, after all.
