Biography
Donsmythe started playing YPP in October, 2005. He lives in his manor on Lagniappe Island with Sundaisy (a pirate played by his real-life wife). Pirates are mostly likely to find him on a pillage with friends or tending to one of his many shoppes, though the occasional chat circle isn't out of the question.
