About Sammy

Sammy is indeed a pirate, in fact he's the Captain of his own pirate ship! However, Sammy has a bit of a secret.. you see Sammy is dead. Yup, Sammy died when he was 28 years old when he was caught and hung for piracy. How is it Sammy is still the Captain of his ship? Well, that's where Sammy's story starts to get a little strange.. You see Sammy is the son of a pirate who was also the son of a pirate who was(you get the picture?) So this long line of pirates had made a pact long, long, long ago with an old sea witch. This witch not only is Sammy's great great-etc- grandmother(as part of this pact of course) but she also had his great great great great grandfather bring her treasures from around the world. All of them leading to a very impressive spell that turned out to be a bit of a curse. Once she had all the items she required she cast her spell on herself and her lover(Sammy's great great great great grandfather) it was a spell to keep them for ever young and to never die. As with almost all magic there was a catch, the spell worked however it would only attach to the one BORN from the ones with the spell cast on them and that one had to have 'the mark'. Another fun thing with this spell, it forever bound the bloodline to the sea, no matter what everyone born in their bloodline would be drawn to the sea. Of course when you're a pirate that's really not such a bad thing, and when you raise your kids as pirates it just kinda happens naturally. There was one more catch, the bloodline now would only bare male children. Even their current offspring would only have males. The spell kind of liked the idea of spreading its magic around everywhere and of course men can make more babies then women. (remember women are tied up for 9 months at a time and pirates aren't well known for being faithful..) Ok, ok enough about Sammy's great great whatever, this is about Sammy!

Well as you should have guessed by now, Sammy was the one son born with the mark.. this mark being in the form of tattoo's covering his body, however they were incomplete. Which was kind of lucky for Sammy otherwise he'd have been forever stuck at the age the spell would have chosen which likely would have been his baby faced teen years. So you're probably wondering, if the 'tattoos' weren't' complete.. why did Sammy live through his death? Well when Sammy was 25 his mother; who was forced to learn the ways of the sea witch, like all of the women that married into this family had, figured out the rest of the marking and had his father carve and ink in the rest of it. This was a very painful process and took many moons to finally heal. Once he was healed his farther and mother left Sammy with one of their fleets ships, which of course is how Sammy became Captain of his own ship! They also left him for just enough crewmen to keep the ship up and sailing, one of which is his dingy yet very skilled friend, NAME HERE who was the ships bosun. Sammy gained the title of 'The Vile" because of his rude and lewd tactics and of course his ways with women. He was one of the few pirates that got written about pretty often at the time for his exploits to certain isles.

Of course, after his 'death' he was written about even more. The crowd that had gathered at his hanging had all disband and left, what they all thought, was his lifeless corpse hanging in the gallows. After a few days his neck had mended but he was still hung.. stuck by the throat unable to take a breath, hands bound, and his scabbard holding nothing at his hip. His ship had gotten away with most of its crew but NAME was missing so without the ships bosun it's unwise to go far. The crew knew she had not been killed and while some of them knew the tale of Sammy's tattoo's none believed it.. except NAME. The crew stayed far enough out to sea to be safe for the time so sent two men after NAME while the remaining men fought over who was going to be the new captain. Sammy in the mean time knew his crew would do as pirates do and not return for him so he had to figure out some way to get down. After all people would begin to wonder why his 'corpse' was so fresh after a few days and even more so why it moved! Sammy grumbled in his thoughts unable to do so audibly as he still could not take a breath. He remembered he had a dagger hidden in his left boot that no one had found on him when the searched him before his hanging. He worked the right boot off and tried getting the dagger with his toes with success.... until it slipped and dropped with a deep thud into the dirt below. He would have let out a loud string of words not fit for a ladies ears but alas.. he still could not speak a word with the bloody rope wrapped about his neck.

NAME however was making her way through the town to reach the center where the gallows where. Luckily this was a fairly poor town..now... and guards were rather scarce. Through the light of the moon she peered through the darkness her eyes passing over the bodies in the gallows until finally resting on one that was moving. She quickly made her way over and whispered in what she hoped was the bodies ear " 'Ey Sam... is that you?" Sammy rolled his eyes, he knew it was dark out but come on what other body would be moving in the gallows?! He thrashed his tail and managed to force what little air he had in his lungs out making a disgruntled snort. NAME grinned as she quickly whipped out her dagger and began sawing the bindings on her Captains hands " 'Ey Sam! I knew ya'd be alive, the other's 'ner believe me but I knew!" She chirped as she finished the bindings on his hand and started on the one that held him to the gallows. Sammy just sighed mentally, he could never figure out how NAME was so good with everything on the ship but so dingy when it came to other things... like cutting the main rope first. "GOT IT!" she said in a loud whisper ans Sammy dropped to the ground.Sammy quickly ripped the rope from his throat and took a huge breath "Bought bloody time!" he huffed then smirked ruffling NAME's hair. " 'Ey Sam... why ya missin' a boot?" she asked slipping her dagger back in its hiding spot in her own boot. Sammy shook his head as he put his boot back on and snatched up his dagger not yet ready to put it up.By this time the two crewmen from Sammy's ship had made it to the gallows in search of NAME and were they ever surprised to see who was standing next to her. Their jaws literally dropped as they stared dumbfounded before NAME chirped "Ya see, I told ya!" Sammy quickly shushed his crew and snorted 'Right ye scurvy dogs, we need be gettin' out'o he're before'n the guards be on us!" And with that Sammy marched off with NAME and his two crewmen back to the rowboat where he sliced the rope that tied it to the docks and off to his ship he went to reign over the seas once more.
Sorry Intox hasn't gotten a name yet so for now there's a filler there. I may add more to the story later although I doubt I'll have any readers XD
