Biography
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of trinkets, it was the age of trophies, it was the epoch of blockades, it was the epoch of flotillas, it was the season of skellies, it was the season of zombies, it was the spring of skulls, it was the winter of hands, we had pillaging before us, we had docktarting before us, we were all going direct to riches, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its OMs insisted on its acceptance as the gravest or greatest; however, the topic among the OMs was forgotten shortly after the release of Batman - The Dark Knight.
This was Hunter Ocean. The seas churned about with secrets, only to be discovered and forgotten after drunken nights at notorious inns. Those that chose not to get drunk and pass their tales down were deemed crazy and were never believed by their fellow mates, so basically it didnt matter what happened, everything was bound in secrets. Protected by this fact was the home island of all skeletons, Skel Island. The skeletons live in hordes on the rocky cliffs, their only solace being their obsession with charts. One could do anything with a chart on Skel Island. Make a shelter, make a bed, make a stove (somehow). Those who owned the charts owned the world. Those many other pirates who did not own charts, on the other hand, lived in extreme poverty. One can only wonder why these skeletons constantly wanted to take a hold of other islands.
Of the skeletons who lived in poverty were two social classes: those who did a skeleton's duty and those who didn't. On this island was a lonely skeleton. Even though he was just as good at Swordfighting as the other skeletons, they shunned this little skeleton for being too "human". One day, while the other skeletons were out on duty, the lonely skeleton was walking along the beach of Skel Island when he came across a sloop smashed against the rocks. The lonely skeleton searched the sloop and found a lone pirate, dressed in all pink. He questioned him, and found out his name was Cloudx. Cloudx was dieing, and willed the skeleton. He handed the skeleton a golden cup, which had something etched onto it, saying something about footbrawl. Upon reading this, the golden cup began to shake and spewed forth a magical drink. It looked a lot like skeletonwater (pun intended) and he was a very thirsty skeleton, so he took a sip. This foul play of magic begin to shape the skeleton into a well-built, sexy pirate human. The now-human skeleton freaked out and ran away from the ship. After accepting the fact that he was now human, he returned to the ship to find Cloudx. He searched it top and bottom, but couldn't find him. On the way out of the sloop, he spotted something on the wrecked table. It was a whisking potion, with just enough juice left for one more whisk, and a card, which read: Chachapoya provides for all.
Being new to pirating, he was ignored and people doubted his abilities. He figured his only way to garner their respect would be to win a contest. He quickly discovered the tournaments that occurred and entered a Swordfight tournament. Being a skeleton on the inside, he was naturally adept at Swordfighting, and his challengers were no problem at all. He won, and was awarded a rose. The pirates wanted to know his name; he realized that he couldn't use his skeleton name of Galthrax 7, so he made one on the spot. He chose "Skelrose". After that, the other pirates generally respected Skelrose, letting him on his pillages and even rising to high ranks in crews such as -Epic-. All was good and fun until one day, Skelrose came under a mysterious pirate illness and went under a coma.
Skelrose awoke to find himself in the middle of Ix Chel, next to a stone inscribed with that read: Lulz, Cloud was here. Was he dreaming? He began to run, but tripped over a sleeping turtle and came to his senses. The only way off this island would be to get to the dock and hitch a ride. There was a dock, but it was all the way on the eastern side. He started to walk towards it, but was stopped in his tracks when the clouds began to gather and darken the area. He knew exactly what was happening: skeletons were coming to get him. He began to run, but it was only a matter of minutes before he was surrounded by skeletons. They had waited for the day they would find the deserter skeleton; it was against skel code to abandon one's fellow skeletons. As they stepped forward to shred him to bits, a yell broke above all the clicks and clacks of the bones. Skelrose looked up, and upon a rock overlooking everyone, saw Cloudx standing in all glory, with two swords in hand. He jumped next to Skelrose, tossing him a sword. They took to arms, and after an hour of fighting, had successfully killed every single skeleton. This was great and all, but they had no way of getting all of the treasure back to civilization. So they sat, and waited.
About 3 weeks later, Skelrose came back from his morning hunt for food when he heard cannonshots in the distance. A pirate battle was taking place close to the island! He and Cloud made a smoke signal while the two cutters engaged in a heated fight. At last, one of them was victorious, and upon seeing smoke on a typically deserted island, decided to head that way to see what was happening on the island. The officer of the ship, Lilshay, discovered Skelrose and Cloudx, of whom both had beards. She negotiated with them over transportation off this island, and Skelrose and Cloudx were forced to give 4/5 of all the skeleton treasure to Shay. She soon changed her appearance and now goes by the name of Dayne. She continues to live off that treasure to this day.
Once back home, Skelrose and Cloudx discovered that Chachapoya had been deserted, due to a cheese shortage. Seeing as there was plenty of cheese on Quetzal Island, they moved there. At the docks, Skelrose and Cloudx had to gain the acceptance of the docks queen, Kortnai. Skelrose came up with a plan, and told Cloudx to wait until the next day. Somehow, his plan had worked, and they made a smooth transition to their new home. About a week later, there was a startling revelation: Kortnai found out she was pregnant. While Cloudx was dumbfounded, Skelrose knew who the father was. Skelrose confessed that the child was his, and Cloudx quickly puzzled together what Skelrose's plan was to gain acceptance, but kept is a secret. Kort never told anyone who the father was, but named it Skellers, in Skelrose's honor. After Skellers was born, the scandal was quickly forgotten, and moved onto the next: Cloudx's monkey.
Today, Skelrose is rarely seen; no one really knows where he has escaped to. Some say that he lives in the very heart of Atlantis, deploying sea monsters throughout the ocean for the heck of it. Others say that he disguises himself as brigand lords and pillages the ocean to pass the time. Wherever he is, we can all rest assured that he will always come back, with another deed and story under his belt.
