Dalt Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed How about The Cabin boy and Macaw. A lowly cabin boy with a killer parrot. More of a sidekick to a hero or villain really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightray Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Here's an undead pirate villain I made for OddHat's New Circle thread: Van Der Decken and, of course, his Pirate Ship Actually, I think Van Der Decken was supposed to have been more a privateer than pirate, according to legend, but close enough. (we could really use a pirate smiley, couldn't we?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savinien Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed Bossun? The Privateer? I'm picutring a skelatar Corsair that flies. You could use quite a few henchmen that could be generic hoodlums. Then, make a couple key positions with powers. The Lookout? First mate Captain... Lackeys are prime fodder for a Golden Age scenario. They could fire the cannons with different shot for different effects, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st barbara Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed This may be a little obscure but I read somewhere once that the word "Buccaneer" comes from the rack of green branches (boucan) used in the 17th century to smoke meat in the carribean. Hence "The Buccaneer" could have fire or smoke related powers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed Actually Press Gang would be a good name for the collective group of no name normal hoodlums. And you could give Press Gang- the character and his powers to another character. Some more ideas 1-Since we are on a Treasure Island character reference frenzy (Billy Bones, Black Dog) I will submit another Treasure Island pirate Israel Hands- multi-limbed mutant (fused w/ squid or octopi DNA) 2-Mutiny- mentalist who "persuades" with his powers to make heroes fight each other. 3-Splinter- not sure on the power that'd work for him, but the reference comes from a pirate documentary I watched where they talked about how most people didnt die from cannonballs, but the splinters, and shrapnel that broke off the ship and hit the crewman inside after the cannonball slammed into the ship's side. I guess maybe some kind of ability to psionically throw wooden objects at opponents. Might be more of a low end member of the crew. By the way, what was supposed to be the approx. size of a pirate ship crew in 1600/1700s anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed Well my curiosity got the better of me, so I went looking for more about pirate crews. Any way the size seems to be by the 3 main ships used Sloop- 20-70 Schooner- 75 Brigandine- 100+ Of course from what I remember from that pirate documentary from a few years ago. Was that pirates pretty much sailed what they could get their hands on. If they captured something better, that was the new ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBaldy Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed Here's some for you... Call them...The Deep Six: Jolly Roger- Martial Artist & Swordsman; Team Leader Skull- Flying Energy Projector; twin to Crossbones Crossbones- Flying Energy Projector; twin to Skull Pieces of Eight- Density-based Brick; has the ability to transform his skin to metal, which appears like gold. Polly- Beautiful Mentalist The Bosun- Burly Weaponsmaster; uses a special lash as his weapon of choice. Heck, maybe that will be the first villian team that I'm going to create.

In fact, there were lots of people injured or killed by splinters for as long as navies mounted gunpowder weapons on wooden ships. As far as his powers go, maybe a physical RKA with Explosion and Area Effect: Cone (for the spray of splinters), plus No Range and Reduced Penetration?

Libra Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed Some pretty good ideas here. Can I nick some of these chaps as a rogues gallery for a Floridan Daredevil/Batman type with a swashbuckling theme? Pleeease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshka Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Re: Pirate-Theme Villains Needed You're welcome to anything I've brought up, Libra. I'm hoping to have time next week to bring my 5ER to work and start statting up a few of these. (One advantage to a theme team is that they can always recruit someone else -- I don't have to have everyone done at once .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
