it had only been a week since jack had become a captain. his first act as captain? get more rum. they had docked at a port in which didn't know his ship yet, and began his search. he hummed as he strutted through the streets of the small port town, whistling softly and looking around the market stalls. everything was so brightly coloured here, and jack seemed to seriously love it. as he walked, he plucked an apple from a stall sneakily and took a bite from it, humming as he walked, spinning slowly turning to get a good look at everything. as he walked, he felt something collide with his back and he turned, blinking, only to see who he had collided with. a boy, around his age, a little taller than him. "why, hello there!" he greeted with a slight slur, his slightly crooked smile.

William Grey
19
5'8"

William was born a single child, in a town in Britain. His mother and father raised him together. At the age of 15, a disease had claimed his mother's life, leaving he and his father alone. During 1718, a war had broken out, involving Britain, France, Austria, and Spain. William, being 16 at the time, joined the British forces with his father.

They fought in the war to drive out Spain from Sicily and Sardinia. On August 11th, 1718, William lost his father in the Battle of Cape Passaro.

In 1720, the war had finally come to an end with the signing of The Treaty of The Hague. The fighters were finally allowed to go home. William was now 19 years old, and having lost his family, he moved to La Rochelle, France, to start a new life. He now works for some fishermen down at the docks so he can earn his wages to continue renting out a small house in the town.

William had just gotten back from a fishing trip with the crew he had set out with. He had helped unload their catch and had gotten paid for the days work. William was heading to the market square to go pick up a few things for today. He seemed to be spacing out, but was quickly brought back when he bumped into someone. Startled, he jumped back a bit.

"Sorry, sir. I didn't see you there." He said. He looked the other over. Oh. He was already drunk, huh? It wasn't even noon yet. Seemed a bit early to be drinking. Then again, it wasn't the first time he had seen men drinking this early.

he hummed and looked over william. he smirked. "what's your name, lad?" he asked, throwing an arm around his shoulder and sweeping him away to walk. he liked how william looked.

[Leafwing12]

William tensed up a bit. He glanced the stranger over. "Uh...William." He said. He blinked. Yeah, he was a bit uncomfortable from this sudden physical contact. He then moved the other's arm off of his shoulders.

[dannychan]

he pouted slightly but soon returned to his cheerfulness. "i'm captain jack! a pleasure, i'm sure!" he introduced and looked around. "can you show me where to find a few barrels of rum? my crew is getting quite antsy."

[Leafwing12]

He blinked, looking him over. Captain Jack? So...He was a pirate then. He blinked. "Uh..Well, there is a shop in the market that sells rum. It's over by the small tavern we have." He said. He then started walking over to it.

[dannychan]

he followed, and it seemed a few much older men followed after them. "you seem like a sailor, lad. are you?" jack asked.

[Leafwing12]

William blinked. "In a way, I suppose. Not so much sailing for pleasure, but I do go on boats to help out the local fishermen as a job." He said.

[dannychan]

he hummed. "what if i told you that you could make twice as much with me as you can out on a fishing boat?"

[Leafwing12]

He blinked, watching him. "I'm quite content with the life I have now, so I'd have to turn down the offer." William murmrued.
