The Finch Brothers

[florentine, d4b ❁]

The high seas of District Four are laced with far more than fish. As well as the boats that haul catch toward the district, there are other, more valuable wares aboard ships, heading from the wealthier regions of Panem to the Capitol. While the Sparrow Sisters have made use of this tempting opportunity to take what they please from the world that has given them nothing - they are not the only children who sail the seas searching for more than just buried treasure.

The orphanage that is tucked away down by the docks holds more than it's fair share of unfortunate children. They are desperate for a second chance, and one morning as they watch a group of girls steal a Peacekeepers ship and make their way across the ocean, they find it. It takes weeks of planning for the small group of orphans to work out how they are going to escape the stronghold of the Capitol without being thrown into the detention center, or worse. Finally, one morning, long before dawn, they stow away on a ship headed toward the horizon and left. Runaways, just looking for an adventure.

It was, of course, an adventure that they found as they took over the ship far away from the curious eyes of the land-dwellers. It was only then that the orphans discovered what they would have to do to survive. They didn't like it, not one bit, but they persisted, becoming, in a way the monsters that they detested. It was after months of taking only what they needed that the Finch children decided to be better. Instead of simply using the ocean, they decided to give - rid it of the danger and evil that haunted it's waves.

Of course, The Sparrow Sisters quickly became their most fearsome and wanted enemies.



CHARACTERS

[/size]


Captain Jasper Finch - [eighteen] - Cass
It was his idea to run away into the unknown. For all his life Japser has longed for adventure. At first, it was one of a thousand elaborate daydreams that was never to become anything - for this is all they ever are. With encouragement from Edwin, however, Jasper found himself the fair and just leader of The Red Star. He's often doubtful, and finds it hard to make decisions concerning the others - but when he knows he is right he is not afraid to be firm. His strong moral compass makes up for his lack of technical knowledge, and he prefers to run his ship as far more of a team effort than Ophelia does. He often feels as though he's just along for the ride, but strong intuition and a kind heart lead the crew to trust him with their lives. Jasper grew up in the orphanage, never having known his parents.

Edwin Finch[/i][/color] - [seventeen] - Ele
Unlike the quiet, fair Captain, Edwin Finch is wild and rarely thinks before he acts. He's a whirlwind of parties and drinking, living in the moment and giving no thought to the future. He trusts Jasper completely, however he's often having to push the older boy out of his comfort zone in order to go anywhere. Although a little out of control, he's not selfish or unkind, rather the opposite. He's compassionate and affectionate, and the younger children idolise him as he is always able to make them laugh. He was born to two fisherman, who both went to sea and never came back a year before Edwin convinced his best friend to lead the orphans to sea. He had a baby sister, however he later learned that his parents sold her to their fellow sailors in return for a bag of gold that Edwin's parents desperately needed.

Roger Finch - [sixteen] - Chelsey
Roger is very easily scared, with a burning curiosity for everything around him. He holds no particular views when it comes to what is right and what is wrong, however he is quite content in going along with what he is told. He's an explorer, prone to wandering off in search of buried treasure. Reasonably grounded and logical, the boy is interested in the past. Formerly a Career, he hated the violence of the Games and vowed that if he was ever reaped he wouldn't hurt anybody. He's charming, although not particularly brave, and expects everyone else to understand what he is talking about - which they seldom do. Likely to disappear when there is work to be done, Roger's father ran away and his mother later committed suicide. He's not greatly effected by this, as he never had strong relationships with either his mother nor his father. He comes across a little distant at times, and struggles to form connections with people - he prefers objects and tidal charts and telescopes.

Hark Finch - [sixteen] - Nofo
Hark's imagination frequently runs wild - he's the storyteller, constantly winding tales of sailors and the ocean for his shipmates. He feels as though he relates to nobody but the fish, and spent most of his time before running away watching the ships pass. After the return of his abusive brother and former guardian to the District, Hark suffered from dissociative fugue. He's incredibly naive, with a great interest in Edwin for he leads a life bordering that of the characters in his stories. He has a quiet respect for Jasper, doing as he's told and going about his work and keeping out of the way. His stories are a form of comfort to him, and he uses them to help the others. Sees himself as a fish trying to survive on land.

Felix Finch - [fifteen] - Windy
Often said to live completely inside his own head, Felix has to be told everything directly to understand. He's the kind of boy who would walk right off the end of the dock without noticing, but every now and then he comes up with something that makes everybody suspect he is far more brilliant than he lets on. Slight obsession with monsters, deep-rooted hatred for the Capitol that stems from his rebel parents. Felix lost his younger sister in a house fire when he was thirteen, and is very caring toward both Henry and Charlie, although he understands neither. Although oblivious to most of the world around him, Felix is incredibly clever when it comes to numbers, and handles the navigation side of the runnings of the ship. Reads poetry, but refuses to write anything himself.

Henry Finch - [fifteen] - Rook
Obsessed with idea of a 'greater good' and all things valiant and brave, Henry is cheeky and fun-loving. He has little idea of boundaries and what you are supposed to say in certain moments, but he certainly means well. When he was small, his mother used to read him Robin Hood, and the idea has stuck in his mind ever since. He likes to think of the crew of The Red Star as the do-gooders of the ocean, and himself as somewhat of a hero waiting to be discovered. He's not afraid to work hard, but he knows little about the running of a ship and often lands himself in trouble, which Charlie or Jasper will end up dragging him out of. Ultimately, he means well. Henry was raised by his grandmother, who died when he was twelve.

Charlie Finch[/i][/color] - [fourteen] - Clover
Despite being the only girl aboard, Charlie refers to herself as one of the Finch Brothers. She's a free-spirited tomboy with the kind of pretentious self-importance that one does not usually find surrounding fourteen year olds. She's stubborn and positively fierce, with a secret wish to one day be captain of the ship. She hoards items from the ships that Jasper firmly declares she does not need, and has no tolerance for being told what to do. Prone to temper tantrums but with an infectious defiance about her that makes her fun to be around, Charlie enjoys dragging other people intro trouble with her. She'll go to any length to get what she wants, and nobody will stand in her way. Charlie is irrational and downright cruel at times. Despite her carelessness and lack of respect for authority, she adores Jasper, who is the closest thing to a real family she ever had. She grew up unaware that her birth parents had sold her shortly after birth on the condition that her adoptive parents never tell her the truth. After her birth parent's untimely death, the decision was made to let her know about her past. She ran away from home and refused to come back, hurt that the people she had trusted had 'bought' her and lied to her.


INFORMATION[/color][/size]
District Four. Runaways. Sparrow Sisters sub-plot. Live at sea, docking very rarely as they take what they need and nothing more to sell. They all decided to take on the name 'Finch' because it was Jasper's name. Democratic, do-gooder pirates, mang. I'm open to pretty much any changes regarding personality and such. Lots of sword-swishing and pirate feels, arrrrh! Bios will be due sometime idek. Graphic and heading by Ele <3

[Onyx]

First Choice: Cap'n Jasper Finch

Second Choice: Edwin Finch

Character Ideas: Basically a male Lyra Belacqua from His Dark Materials, but with an added irresponsible streak that goes beyond scrambling over rooftops and hiding in studies. Having absolutely no idea where he came from always made Jasper restless. In his early years at the orphanage, he would sit quietly, not talking to any of the other children or the nurses, frustrated by his own anonymity. Even before he was old enough to understand it, he knew there was something wrong with being no one. Someone must have brought him to this place, why wouldn't anyone tell him about them? Why did he have to keep on guessing, forever? Growing up, he developed a talent for drawing, and would sketch out all the different features of his face and compare them to the features of everyone he saw. That nurse also has blue eyes, could she be my family? There's a boy with hands like mine, maybe he knows who our father is? Over and over again, he would try to push the truth of his history out of people, and wouldn't accept that no one actually knew. He was terrified of being this enigma, a floating piece that just didn't belong anywhere. But in an orphanage, did anyone really belong?

Edwin is the closest thing to a brother Jasper has ever had. Even though, at times, he spurns the younger boy for his inappropriate behaviour, his drug habits and his recklessness, he loves him as his own family. So, when Edwin told him of his own parent's demise in the sea, Jasper thought that, maybe, that was where he could find the truth about his family, too. Edwin coaxed him into carrying out the idea of forming a "search party"; the Red Star crew and Jasper's family. However, with still no luck finding out more about his past, Jasper grows less and less satisfied with his mismatched band of brothers, and increasingly desperate to stop floating, being nobody at all. There's something sad in his eyes, and in his heart. He is slowly losing himself in his hopeless mission.

No I haven't written anything directly about Edwin because basically I don't want him xoxo

Plot Ideas: MASSIVE TOTAL PIRATE ATTACK VS. SPARROW SISTERS Y'ALL. Also maybe thunderstorm and someone goes overboard and they have to try and save them and oh the drama and jellyfish in the water idek. And Jasper gets sick of it and wants to leave. EVERYTHING.

Faceclaim: This is him in my head.

[/color][/blockquote]

[Deleted]

First Choice: Felix Finch
Second Choice: Roger Finch

Character Ideas: Well Felix as you said would be stuck in his head, that's bexause he sees everything differently. He sees patterns and numbers in everything in the world like the boy in touch! If you watch that show, like how many rock formations there are, he could easily associate that to how many eacekeepers they are going to encounter because of the traits it has that matches the peronality of a peacekeeper. He would mostly write all this findings in a book that talks about numerology. He would also be very isolated because he is always thinking and he has brotherly affections to the two small kids but doesn't know how to show it to them. He would also be looking after the older kids because he has a feeling that he should care for them in some way, and he does through his observations of patterns around him. Very timid at times and doubts everything he tells the Captian but they would still follow him because of their trust, and surprisingly he always gets it right.

Now with wide eyed curious Roger, he would go acting all brave and cocky because of all his career training. But when it's time to fight he would hide behind Captain. But they try to understand him because of his trauma maybe he killed someone in training or something?. Loves to think about all the hidden treasures yet to be found in the vast vast ocean.

Plot Ideas: A HUGE PIRATE FIGHT!!!!!!! Maybe Felix would try to get close with Charlie for him to understand him better but ends up freking her out with all the number crap he talks about.
Faceclaim: Will pm you once I find one.

[/blockquote]

[Danny]

First Choice: roger
Second Choice: roger lol
Character Ideas: His thoughts are a lot like the buried treasure they dig up; he likes to keep them concealed in the back of his mind. The only difference is he doesn't allow anyone to dig them up. Because of this, he's a lot smarter than a lot of people believe. When he does tell people what he's thinking, they rarely understand him because he'll stutter or mix up words or it simply won't make sense. Roger wants to explore the world, but is too cowardly to admit so. He prefers maps and "tidal charts and telescopes" over people, and he's a strong believer that there are "signs". At night, he'll stay up late stargazing or looking at maps. To him, stars are so beautiful because they're predictable, and he wishes life were that easy. Even though he may come off as shy, if you get to know him, he'll probably talk a lot (but nervously). The whole pirate thing always sucked to him unless they were on the ship at night because he never liked having to fight. KARMIST? Is that a word. Well I just invented it and it means someone who thinks karma is real. Even though he's a sweet kid and all, he thinks shitty things happen to good people for reasons.
Plot Ideas: Maybe he could get it in with a Sparrow? No but seriously I like someone else's idea about someone going overboard.
Faceclaim: ok what do you want like redheads, brunettes, blondies? i guess i like him?


ok yeah this is completed enjoy idek

[Python]

First Choice: Edwin

Second Choice: Henry

Character Ideas: Edwin's optimistic attitude and passion for partying to loosen up and live the moment (yolo guise) sometimes goes a bit to far. He may throw a party on-board when it is completely unnecessary and during a situation in which everyone should be concentrating rather than drinking alcohol. Although everyone appreciates his fun-loving attitude and ability to make them laugh when they need it most, perhaps there are times when he tries too hard and ends up getting himself into trouble, especially when trying to get Jasper to "loosen up" when he should be captaining a ship. During the rare times they dock, he will likely spend more time at local parties with local ladies and gentleman then gathering the supplies they need, making him a rather irresponsible worker, though still a bit reliable if Jasper would give him a stern finger.

For Henry, I see him as rather impulsive also, but for reasons he believe are justified (e.g - playing the hero). He is very oblivious to human sensitivity, and can be rather blunt at times when he speaks to strangers ("You are not strong enough, let me save help you!") but fails to realize that he can harm people with his words while he tries to physically save them from things that may not even pose a threat. He is obsessed with a fantasy of playing the kind-hearted hero, and tends to overestimate his abilities and end up in danger/trouble, whether it be being stuck with the wrong people or getting lost when they dock somewhere. Also can he be gay.

Plot Ideas: uhh maybe Edwin can get into arguments with Jasper about "u need to be srs for once edwin grrr" and he'll be all "loosen up have a drink heehhe" or maybe he can get so drunk one time he falls overboard idk. For Henry maybe he can get kidnapped/lost at one point? Would the Sparrows kidnap him since they're enemies?

Faceclaim: a boy

[/blockquote]

[umber vivuus 12b 🥀 [dars]]

First Choice: Roger
Second Choice: Felix
Character Ideas:
I love both of these equally, so I'd be fine with getting either of them.

I'll start with Roger?

I see Roger as somebody who would easily venture off too far to remember his way back. I think curiosity would get the best of him in everything even though he is almost always terrified of the result. He has never been much of a leader, and he has never really thought violence was necessary to get what you want. In his past as a career, he'd never particularly liked hurting others. Of course, his lack of proper moral shows that he isn't really the best person to listen to when it comes to anything outside of logic. He isn't afraid to like things or, to a lesser extent, people. Like the smell of rain, watching the sun set on the horizon, feeling the boat nod him off to sleep at night, and even his brothers. He is really a gentle soul, and always knows what to say to get what he wants from people. Girls, usually. He is a bit lazy, and uses his curiosity as an excuse for why he ran off when there was work to be done. His father's death made him a bit obsessed with the past. He always wonder where a person grew up, how their parents chose to raise them, and what life was like in school for them. He misses school, more so his friends, but he knows he is at his place on the sea. It is his home, and where he'll always run to when he has nothing else.

annnnd Felix:

Felix has never been the most logically advanced person in the world. He had never been at the head of the class in his school. He really has these moments of bliss where he can relate a situation to something he does understand, and bring forth a whole new perspective. He finds his lack of general knowledge annoying, and tries to prove that he isn't dumb all of the time with nothing to show for it in the end. Everyone else finds it hilarious, and they'll ask him questions they know he doesn't know the answers to. He does truly excel when it comes to numbers and navigation though. It seems easier to him than other things he could try and learn about. Inside his head is a dream world where everything is different. He can do whatever he pleases there, stand on top of the world and demand to be in charge if he wants, or fly, or even talk to the sea life he loves to watch play in his watery surroundings. He has always had a knack for sea monsters, and always read about them in the books he could actually understand, which are usually books of poems. He likes the way it sounds, but won't write any of it himself because he knows it will just be something else for everybody to tease him over. He loves monsters, but hates the place they all started in. He isn't really even sure why he hates the capitol, all he knows is that his parents always did, and he didn't see the need to question them. He is easily the mother of the ship, even though Jasper is in charge, and sweet little Charlie is a girl. After losing his sister in a house fire, he is determined to make sure none of his ship mates get hurt, especially the younger ones.

Plot Ideas: Maybe Roger gets lost and actually finds some treasure, and refuses to loose the gold even though it is slowing him down as he tries to get back to the ship. Maybe he and another pirate go off together and have a super fun adventure, idk. omg secret romance with a Sparrow sister

Felix sees a fish and is convinced it is a mermaid. That is all. xDD Just Kitten (I'm a cat.) Maybe he takes the two little ones and shows them the house where his sister died and explains to them that her dying is the reason he cares for them so much.

Faceclaim: I showed you already. :3

ALSO! Can change the name of whoever I get? It'll be good I swear. xD Omg this app is way too big.

[semper]

First Choice: Felix

Second Choice: Uhh... Felix? xD

Character Ideas: Due to his slight obsession with monsters, Felix would take a keen interest in all of Hark's stories, often applying his own monsters to the stories once Hark's finished. He loves to day dream about those stories and make them turn out differently in a "mental movie," though none of his daydreams ever have fire in them. Ever since his sister was killed in the fire, Felix has been terrified of anything bigger than a small, contained flame, but even then he's quite wary of it. He thinks that the other boys will make fun of him if they ever find out about his fear of fire so he bites his tongue and just swallows the fear, becoming a recluse and letting his fear drive him.

When on the sea, he feels completely at home - water is fire's natural enemy, right? Felix is usually found in the navigation room, hovering over maps and charts of the stars. He's determined to create a map himself about lands far, far away that he dreams of discovering one day. He constantly carries an old compass with him, usually just to have something for his hands to fiddle with whenever he's not using it to draw out his maps. Felix also likes to spend time out on the deck at night, looking at the stars and, again, putting their location down on paper and determining which constellations will point them in the direction they need for sailing. Sometimes he'll even take old, ruined star charts and connect all the dots to create monsters that he creates in his head.

The poetry he reads usually have a numerical rhythm to them - iambic pentameters, haikus, limericks, etc. He loves to find the patterns within them - along with reading them, of course - and often he'll want to share a particularly good poem with either Henry or Charlie, but then he becomes just so absorbed in reading that he prefers to just stick to himself.



Plot Ideas: Uhhh perhaps the ship could catch on fire at some point xD

Faceclaim: Theo's is too old to reuse so I'd have to find someone else x:

[Lei]

First Choice: Edwin
Second Choice: Henry

Character Ideas: I can't decide which one I love more, so I'd be happy with either of them. :3

Edwin is known as the spirit of all parties and a dynamic ball of energy, one corner of his mouth consistently curled up into a wry half-grin and his eyes perpetually sparkling with mischief. He's a joker as well as a bit of an adrenaline junkie ("look guise ima jump out da crows nest lolz"), always getting himself into every kind of trouble yet somehow never failing to get himself out. His lips are well-acquainted the smooth rim of a glass bottle, a lit cigarette constantly rolling between his fingers. On the occasions that the ship docks, he vanishes, though returns the next morning in a drunken stupor and sometimes with a lady friend. It's often hard to tell the difference between drunk Edwin and notsodrunk Edwin- other than the slight slurring of speech- as he always seems to be on a buzz, and his general coordination skills are somewhat lacking even when he's sober. To others, he may seem irresponsible and reckless- and for the most part he is- but the guy's got a pretty good head on his shoulders when his mind isn't clouded with the haze alcohol brings to it, though he generally leaves the thinking and seriousness to Jasper. He's the second mate for a reason, and it's not just as a comic relief mostly.

Even as a child, Edwin loved the sea. Believe it or not, he used to be somewhat well-behaved. His parents used to bring him with them on fishing trips every so often, and little Edwin would relish in the smell of salty ocean air and the wind on his face, his two favorite people by his side. When they disappeared, it shattered his world. It ripped a hole in his heart that he desperately tried to fill with parties and women and adrenaline, dulling the pain of it with alcohol and expelling it with a puff of cigarette smoke from his lungs. He's convinced that his parents are somehow still alive, and this meager sliver of hope tortured him and gnawed at his mind until it became too much, and it was then that he convinced Jasper to escape with the orphans to the sea so he could search for his parents on his own. Most, if not all, people don't know this; that Edwin isn't truly as carefree and cheerful as he seems, or of his true motive for wanting to leave the orphanage- not even Jasper. And he intends to keep it that way.

Henry has no idea what in Ripred's name he was thinking when he decided to become a pirate. First of all, he can't swim. In fact, he hates water; prefers having solid ground beneath his feet, thank you very much. Second of all, he doesn't know the first thing about keeping a ship running. He often confuses port with starboard, doesn't know how to tie a knot, is always tripping over ropes and tends to cling to the mast when the waves get rough. But he sets his jaw and always manages to push through, and tries his hardest to do what needs to be done for the sake of humanity, seeing as he's one day going to save it. He likes to think of himself as Robin Hood incarnate, his shipmates the Merry Men (and Woman) of the sea. He's a little lacking in the tact department, often insulting people without realizing it and coming off as an insensitive little boy with a superhero complex and a knack for putting his foot in his mouth. He has an odd tendency to use pirate cliches, such as threatening to make random criminals walk the plank and calling those on the mainland "landlubbers" even though he'd rather be on solid ground himself. He has a crush on Charlie and doesn't have any problem letting her know it. It's his life's mission to bring down Ophelia Sparrow and her evil sisters, and after they've "walked the plank", he's going to bring down President Snow himself.

Plot Ideas: I like the someone going overboard idea. idek maybe Edwin can somehow get Jasper drunk and funny shiz happens. Henry goes on a suicide mission to destroy the Sparrow sisters and just ends up getting himself taken prisoner.

Faceclaim: ahoy thar. haven't figured out a fc for edwin yet sorry but hi i lurve this plot and the sparrow sisters wow this app is long okay bai

[Deleted]

Um just so anyone applying or Jasper knows this he and Ophelia are going to be OTP and any argument is invalid kthxbai

[/blockquote]

[cass]

First Choice: Captain Jasper Finch, of course, hun <333

Second Choice: I was thinking that his middle name could be Caspian, so like Jasper Caspian Finch.

Character Ideas: Sometimes, the cruelest, most cunning person does not always come out on top. Jasper is a boy who wears his heart on his sleeve, he will use it to make decisions, over his head, over the pressure of what his fellow members say. His morals keep him strong, and when he has made a decision he will keep it, as long as he can see that it is the right choice, he will be stubborn up to the point of violence to stay true to himself. And staying true to himself is something he has always had to battle. Every since he was young and had to stay in an orphanage he fought with the other children, he fought with himself to find who he was. The other kids always put him down for his dreams, his ideas and fantasies. Sometimes his want to always work as a team does lead to conflict between the others. He wants them to be able to work together to be friends and love each other. He knows that they aren't all the same, but he still pretends to be blind to the difference that often cause arguments and fights between them. In those conflicts he always tries to be the one to break it apart.

Charlie, being the only girl on the ship, tends to make all the boys slightly nervous. However, Jasper doesn't particularly see her as much of a girl. He honestly loves to spend time with Charlie and will often set aside a few hours to talk to her making sure she is okay. In a way he sees has his sister, a little sister that he would do anything to protect - but he would do anything to protect his whole crew, he would risk his life for every one of them. Charlie, having spent almost as much time in the orphanage as Jasper only makes him feel a little more protective of her. He knows how she feels, and he wants to be able to help her. Let's just say he has a little soft spot for the troublesome girl.

It always left him shaken to know that maybe that wasn't who he was meant to be, maybe that was just a dream, and dreams can never become reality. Then when the others came he realized that it could be true, he could be the Captain, he could be what he had always wanted. The ocean, to Jasper, means more than he would let anyone ever know. The way it appears to be so endless and never stops going makes him think, it makes him believe that his life will never have an end, just as long as he keeps sailing, just as long as he has his boys and his ship The Red Star. Being doubtful of himself sometimes means he will try to second guess what he does and often it just leads to one big giant mess. However, being the Captain of the ship does have its pleasures and Jasper finds a lot of time to train with his sword, which never leaves his side. When he fights it is almost as if another side takes control and the moral, decent boy disappears. When Jasper fights, he fights to win and no one will stop him and get in his way. He will play dirty to win a fight. It is often why he will never speak of past fights to everyone, they weigh heavily on his heart as he remembers what he has done. But as the ocean keeps moving so does he and he does not linger for long before he moves on. There is always so much sea, so many treasures and so many people to fight.

Plot Ideas: ALL THE FIGHTS. Piratey stufff. Stealing, drama. Fights, I want blood. Also I want Ophelia and Jasper action <3333

Faceclaim: You already know who <333

[pinky is a timelord]

First Choice: Roger :3
(Hark wasn't taken when I applied? o-o or I'm just REALLY blind)
Second Choice: Jasper<3

Character Ideas:
I think Roger would be very distant at times, even though his lack of parents doesn't effect him too much. He thinks about it a lot. He tends to put his emotions into his work, and he works a lot. He over thinks things and tends to be almost too deep and emotional sometimes. Roger's mind wanders a lot, and he talks to people as if they had just read his thoughts but most of the time they have no idea what he's doing. Roger feels misunderstood at times because of the path he takes, and instead follows Hark's footsteps in the love for animals. Roger secretly admires Hark, but also really wishes he could be like Edwin. He depends on Jasper for a sense of security.

IN OTHER WORDS

• quiet and distant at times
  
• tends to get deep about simple things
  
• susceptible to feeling lonely
  
• loves imitating voices and other people
  
• admires Hark and his ability to conjure up stories
  
• he feels defenseless when he's alone
  

Jasper would be a very fatherly young man, sometimes teased about being a stick in the mud. I think he would want the best for his crew, his family, and at times come across mean because of his concerns. Honestly he doubts himself sometimes, and is afraid that he is losing his youth. Sometimes he checks in the mirror for gray hairs. Jasper would love to listen to Hark's stories, wishing he could be the main character. I think he would truly love Edwin, feeling like he has to 'guide' him at times, although Edwin might do most of the guiding sometimes. Jasper depends on Edwin for a good word, reassuring him when he feels like he's made a mistake (which might be often).

IN OTHER WORDS

• fatherly, old man trapped in a young man's body
  
• heart on sleeve
  
• trying to grasp onto his youth
  
• depends on his 'brothers' more than anyone realizes
  
• always doubting himself
  
• quick-witted, thinks easier in tough situations
  

Sorry I don't have a way with words ;-; but I LOVE THEM.

Plot Ideas:
I think that Roger would, at some point, have to get involved in some kind of fight and either lose horribly and hurt his pride because of his refusal to fight, or he bucks up and actually fights and realizes he can really pack a mean punch. Maybe he would be frightened by this?
And I think Jasper at some point should get hopelessly and hilariously drunk <3 and a BIG PIRATE ATTACK WOO

Faceclaim: open for suggestions ;-;
bad with guy faceclaims but Ed Speleers for Jasper? Maybe? Colin Morgan for Roger?

[charade]

First Choice: Henry

Second Choice: Henry

Character Ideas:
So my take on Henry is thus.
I feel he'd be given to pontification and would spend a lot of time talking about himself and the crew's many valorous deeds to the wrong people. While Hark spins tales for the crew, Henry says too much in front of the wrong people very often. A little overbearing and sometimes annoying, he'd get in the way more often than not. Hark may talk fantasy, but Henry lives it. He's really convinced that they are on the high seas; it doesn't help that his grandmother encourages his wild imaginings. He may be fifteen, but he's still a little kid at heart. Naive and just a little too trusting, its too easy for unsavory people to trick him into fulfilling their whims. When confronted about it though, he will try to make right. Henry can be very earnest and honest about everything; sometimes more so than he needs to. Does he ever stop talking? That's something that the rest of the Finches wonder on a regular basis.

Plot Ideas:
So since he's all "Herosavestheday!" All the time, I think it'd be easy for the sparrow sisters to convince him that they are helping people somehow, and for him to unwittingly help them carry out a crime because he believes the best in people. Especially fair maidens. Leading to massive drama in both crews.

Faceclaim: Male Redheads are so so hard to find How's this?

[gamemaker kelsier]

First Choice: Edwin Finch
Second Choice: DENADA
Character Ideas: Basically I spent five hours looking for the perfect FC instead of writing this, so forgive me if this comes out weird as it is FOUR AM.

Alrighty, so, EDWIN.

Edwin, look at him spontaneously combust all over the place, maybe it might not have happened if someone had been there to contain it, but he's always been such a whirlwind, you couldn't have if you'd tried. His personality is so overbearing, you'd think he'd want to be captain himself. Truthfully, he's always been wholeheartedly against responsibility of any kind, as it makes him feel nauseous and a little bit too much relied upon. You could say he's sort of afraid of relying on anyone, ever since his parents left him all alone, when he trusted them to come home. If there's one person that Edwin does trust however, it's Jasper. Jasper, who he's always pushing and pushing because he hates the fact that he's such a goody goody. he hates his mewling for adventure, and then he never reaches for it. Edwin's goal in life is to make Jasper have fun, which Edwin feels that he seldom does.

Edwin's idea of fun is also something that Jasper never seems to get. He carries a queer sense of guilt somewhere below his abdomen, that maybe shouldn't be altogether his, but he labels it his own anyway. That mixed with overpowering feelings that shouldn't be felt abut the people he is closest to, drive him into a spiral. To slip away from it, he found himself slipping his hands into a retinue of new tastes, and things. Altogether, he finds life much easier when he doesn't have to think. Therefore, why bother? Most decisions are made with altogether no thought, which often lands him into sticky situations that Jasper has to fish him out of.

Edwin Isn't an idiot, although some may think that way. There's a reason his brothers look up to him, and it isn't simply for that charismatic grin that pulls at his lips all too often. He's smart, and he has good ideas. You could call him an ideas guy. He once made a lamp out of three pieces of glass, some rope, and a stick. Although he can't be relied on most of the time, when you really need it, he's there and ready within the blink of an eye. he grew up on the ocean, fishing with his parents, so he knows a lot about boats as well, and often refers to the boat like she's a living, breathing, thing. Most think he does this because he's so out of it, but it's simply a respectful thing that his parents taught him to do.

He does a lot fo things that his parents did, copying them because he's afraid he'll forget them.

I WILL ADD TO THIS LATER BUT MY BRAIN STOPPED BECASUE THE FC I FINALLY FOUND IS ALREADY TAKEN AND I AM CRYING OMG HELP ME.

OMG ALSO IT IS LIKE FIVE AM I HATE YOU CLOVAH FOR MAKING ME WANT TO FIND PERFECTION FOR YOU. <333

First Choice: Henry Finch
Second Choice: Edwin Finch (But I'll be anyone you need )
Character Ideas:

Henry may be cute when you first look at him, but remember- There is more then meets the eye. Henry, at times, should really learn shut his mouth. He, very often, says things he would most likely regret later, and trouble follows close behind him. However, Henry doesn't exactly shoo trouble away. Henry is loud and adventurous and daring, and any opportunity to show off his 'macho-ness' given to him, he'll take without a moment's hesitation. His main goal on the ship is to impress everyone else, being one of the youngest on the ship, and prove himself, even though he doesn't really need to. Henry is very arrogant, and thinks he is hot stuff, and thinks someone is 'crazy' if they consider him otherwise.

Our little Henry here is not the tiniest bit shy in any way. He has no problem going up to someone and introducing himself. He is rather brave, and most times, 'laughs in the face of danger.'

Henry is naive in his own little way, and will believe pretty much anything any other the other Finches say. Most of the time, he'll believe anything ANYONE says, or at least consider it's true. He'll mostly go to Edwin and Jasper for reassurance, guidance, or anything like that. Henry is very energetic, and eager to learn about the ship, even though he knows practically nothing of it.

It's very clear Henry isn't the smartest one on the ship. He's not a complete idiot, it just that sometimes... He could think things through a bit more, or have some common sense sometimes. However, with things like contraptions and weapons Henry is very knowledgeable, from studying these things to become a kind of hero in his mind. And Henry just has a knack for building Rube Goldbergs and stuff like that. He puts adventure in front of everything he wants in his life, an often daydreams about being some sort of hero, like his beloved Robin Hood. But he doesn't want to be a goody-goody-hero who does all the right things and stuff. That would get boring in Henry's mind. Robin Hood was risking his life, hated by evil, doing daring adventurous things, still while helping others, and getting the chicks, while still looking like a bad-ass.

Henry is very, VERY mischievous, and loves to pull pranks on people, and spy on people. Henry also doesn't know how to keep his nose out of other people's business. He's a tad immature, and gets on other people's nerves at times, but Henry wouldn't hurt a fly, unless he had some good reason. He is pretty much the baby of the group, although he HATES to think of himself that way. Henry loves attention, positive and negative, and would most likely go insane if everyone in the area were to ignore him. Henry needs to be entertained at all times, or you'll have a very whiny Henry in your way. Henry is still a child at heart, although, he'll surprise with saying something totally heroic and mature. He does have a brain in that head, he just forgets to use it sometimes.

Henry, as said before, can be mature at times. Mostly when he's trying to impress someone, all his antics fade away temporarily, and he's focused, calm, although with the occasional smart-ass comment here and there. He uses his brain when in this state of his, and if actually a decent, mature kid who knows how to listen.

Henry is such a smart-ass for a 15 year old. It won't be uncommon for Henry to throw a wise comment towards one of the older Finches for giggles, but most of the time, he just gets in trouble for his sarcastic comments, although then can be funny. Henry also excels in lying without any problem, as well as sneaking around without being seen, from old days of sneaking out his room at night at the orphanage to explore the place and go on adventures that lasted until 4 A.M. Look into those big pretty blue-green puppy-dog eyes, and you might see an innocent kid who made an honest mistake. However, this priceless look of 'I didn't mwean it' is one of Henry's best weapons.

Plot Ideas: EPIC PIRATE BATTLES!!!!!! Henry would actually be looking forward to that... XDD Henry would look up to the older Finches, and Edwin would be pretty much his God. ANYTHING Edwin would say, Henry would do or believe without a moment of hesitation. Henry looks up to Jasper as well, but more in a respected manner. Henry's adventurous mind would be sparked up by the running away 'mission,' as he would call it. I can see Henry going off on his own at one point after someone tells him no, to 'battle' some 'pirates' or something. But I can see him running off n his own for his own adventure. I can also see Henry having a HUGE rivalry with Charlie, and maaaaaaybe having a tiiiiiny crush on her. (Maybe not, though. Whatever works. ) Anyway, Henry would probably try drinking or something, and fail miserably, and then everyone would laugh at him, and Henry would get all embarrassed and POed. Henry would try to pull some crap with Jasper and Charlie by doing something completely hilarious and evil (that I will soon think up of XD) and just get into trouble.

ADDED: Maybe he can see the Sparrow Sisters as 'villains' in his mind and himself as some hero, and he could run off a try to fight them off on his own. Either narrowly escaping, or getting captured would most likely be the end result, unless some miracle happens and Henry happens to defeat the epic and awesome Sparrows. XD

Faceclaim: Hmmmmmmmmmm... Perhaps someone who looks like this?

First Choice: EDWIN BB
Second Choice: Captain Jack Sparrow wait no I mean Captain Jasper Finch
Character Ideas: EDWIN IS RECKLESS AND MISUNDERSTOOD AND HAS NO WORRIES ABOUT ANYTHING BECAUSE HE'S A PIRATE BB YA. because I can't help but compare with my other orphaned child/character/baby unlike Edgar, Edwin is totally ~cool~ with being left behind from his family and doesn't worry about his identity because, to him, he creates his own identity by marking it with adventure. (And by adventure I mean drinking, partying, and sailing the days away).

He enjoys his freedom and the open sea. He's got some guitar stashed away in his cabin and on some nights, when he's feeling more risky than usual and after he's downed a couple shots of whiskey, will bring it out on deck and sing, sing, sing the night away until every splintered board of the ship is tainted with his raw and raspy voice. He'd like to teach the boys how to play, but since he hasn't really got any patience, would probably get bored halfway through and get caught up/distracted in something else.

He loves his fambam and has a big big big crush on Artemis or Lilliana, idk whichever floats your boat but is totally indifferent to the rest of the world. But if anyone talks smack about his brothers, or even the Sparrow sisters, you better believe that the indent of his knuckles will be stuck to their jaw for a good few months.

He's gonna be a total badass and silly in a cute way and super flirty with the Sparrow girls and maybe sometimes a little wittle jealous of Jasper but he's just gonna be f-ing awesome okay even tho this app sucks no judgies.

JASPER IS JUST THIS VALIANT GUY WHO LOVES HIS CREW AND THE WORLD AND IS KINDA LIKE PROFESSOR X FROM X-MEN BECAUSE HE CARES FOR HIS MEN BUT HE ALSO CARES FOR THE PROSPERITY OF THE WORLD. he's intelligent and witty and always puts his brothers before him. basically the perfectest guy ever. also, he's secretly hurt at the fact that he doesn't know his parents or his family or anyone and kinda daydreams of finding them out in sea.

Plot Ideas: so we are totally shipping these guys with the Sparrow sisters right. right. right. also i SHIP THE ULTIMATE BROMANCE BETWEEN JASPER AND EDWIN OKAY.
Faceclaim: idk but he's totally gonna be hot okay

i'm really sorry this sucks but give me one of theM PLEASE I PROMISE THEY'LL BE HOT AND BLOW YOUR OVARIES
