How You Met

Charles Vane: You were a slave aboard an British ship.

The ship was on her way to london to resell you, but they were unlucky when they were being intercepted by The Ranger. Your master had almost beaten you to death the night before, leaving you limp on the ground and tied up with no clothes on except an oversized shirt that just covered your thighs. You were left to bleed out in a small storage area and you were ready to die. That was until you heard gunshots and screaming men coming from the upper deck, followed with the sound of heavy footsteps. You thought it was your master ready to kill you this time for real, but instead a tall and handsome man moved his way up to you. You were to weak to do anything against the man and fainted from the pain as he tried to pick you up as careful as possible. The next thing you knew, you were waking up in Captain Charles Vane's bed, trying to heal properly, while Vane himself took care of you.

Jack Rackham: You were a whore who worked at The Inn.

You were too smart to work there, you knew that, but you had to make your money somewhere. Besides, no one would hire a woman like you on a ship. You weren't skilled in sailing or even cooking, but devising strategies and eavesdropping on people on the other hand was something you were amazing at. Sadly, nobody appreciated it, until a man walked in with a red-haired woman. The woman sat in the corner of the Inn and had watched you from afar. She was just like a lion waiting for its next prey. The tall man on the other hand made his way towards you and had sat down at the table in front of you. He raised his hand, gesturing he wanted you to take a seat on the opposite side of him and slowly you grabbed the chair, doing what he told you to. When you had sat down, he leaned over the table and asked you to work with him. You had no idea why, but then he told you that if you would help him, you would no longer had to share your bed with men every day to make a little money. He knew you were smart and offered you a new job, but little did you know, he also asked for a place in your heart.

Edward Teach: You are a barmaid in an tavern in Havana.

You were one of the last who had a late shift and you were serving a table full of joyful men when suddenly a table was thrown to the other side of the small bar. It made you back off a bit and you just stood there helpless while two man punched the life out of each other. Everyone was so shocked that they had ran out of the tavern or found themselves in a corner, while you were still standing where you stood. It was the famous Edward Teach ahead of you. You tried to get in between them to safe the tavern's name, but you couldn't get them to stop killing one another and the finishing shot hit it's opponent. Edward Teach had won and had afterwards switched his sight to you. You had taken a few steps back as he took a few steps foreword, lifting his hand to cherish your cheek as he asked you for a drink. You nodded at him, feeling a strange attraction to the man and you had made your way back to the storage to grab a new bottle of rum. You returned only to see the strong man sitting with an lowered face and he apologized to you for making such a mess of the bar while you handed him the bottle you had grabbed. However, you told him it was okay and you even offered him to patch him up. Something he could never ever declined.

James Flint: (I know he's gay, but.... yeah, I still included him.) You were a daughter in a wealthy family.

You, a rich woman, was always on time for outings, was used to eating fancy food, and always had to dress up to reject men that tried to propose to you. It drove you crazy to live the same boring life every day. You wanted to see more than just the rich parts of London over and over again. One day, you were forced to marry the next man your parents introduced to you and you fled from your family, not wanting to marry. You ended up lost and alone on the streets of London, scared and soaking wet from the rain that had started to fall from the dark colored sky and then you suddenly felt a hand gently tap your shoulder. You turned around with a fast movement, ready to fight back. Though, the man wasn't what you expected he would be, before you stood an mannered man standing in front of you, asking what had happened. You explained what you were doing on the street alone and then he offered you his hand with you taking it; together going to his house where he warmed you up and told you what he was up to with the island full of thieves, asking you to make that dream come true with him.

Billy Bones: You were Mr Gates' daughter.

You were a very carefree and playful soul and your father tried to hide you from the crew as long as possible. He even tried to keep you away from everything that had something to do with piracy, but as a young woman, you were too curious to stay away from the pirate crew. When you stubbornly climbed up the massive pirate ship, you stumbled against a young, muscular boy, around your age and you immediately apologized to him before you almost tripped over your own feet. Luckily, he caught you before the fall could bring any damage and he was about to ask if he could give you a tour if it wasn't for your father to interfere. You asked very sweetly if you could go with the boy named Billy, but Flint immediately spoke up telling that Billy still had some tasks to complete, clearly trying to get you away from him. The days after you hadn't seen Billy anywhere, not even on the ship anymore and you asked yourself what had happened. One night you had stopped wondering and then you heard a soft knock on your window. You had curiously opened it to reveal Billy standing on the other side. You helped him get in as quietly as possible so that your dad wouldn't suspect anything and walked back to your bed, pulling Billy with you to cuddle. Soon both of you drifted of into a deep sleep while hugging each other.

John Silver: You were on the run from The Ranger because you stole black pearls from them.

How stupid your plan had been, you managed to steal the black pearls from the Ranger. Because of all the adrenaline that had followed, the escape was also successful, but hiding from them was another thing you weren't sure you were able to do. It was hard to find a spot where they wouldn't search and the only place you knew for sure was the walrus, but that didn't sound like the best plan either. Roaming through the streets, you had heard a voice you had never heard before asking you where the Inn was and you looked back at him. He was in a hurry and you noticed it because of his sweaty hands and his tense posture. He was on the run, same as you. You quickly accused him, hoping he could help you and he confessed, knowing you was in the same storm as him. Before you knew it he had pulled you with him and helped you flee to The Inn with him. You both being thieves trying to fade away together.
