Early Days
On December 9th, 2003, this pirate washed up on the shores on Winter Solstice in the Midnight Ocean. He was unsure of what to expect but really liked the whole Pirate theme and environment so...he had fun with it. He started off a crew hopper looking around and eventually ending up in the notorious Pirates of the Damned. Within a month he had made friends with many in the crew, started up his own crew and joined the Crimson Tide. His crew, The Sunblaze Pirates, quickly fizzled out as he really had no idea what he was doing considering he had only been playing a month.
After his crew disbanded, he found himself in The Red Russian's captained by Gahris, yet another crew of the Crimson Tide. He rose quite quickly in this crew and found himself beside Gahris at senior officer within a couple months. During this chapter in his life he was also courting Lady Yuna of what use to the Seawolves Rugby. He married her and they had a wonderful ceremony on Nuptial Island with Dartwith as his bestman and Ajani, later husband to Yuna, as one of his groomsmen. They lived happily ever after until Tidus had slowly stopped playing in Summer of '04.
Alt experimenting
Before his fizzle in summer of '04 Tidus began work on another crew secretly under the name of his alt Aminota. This indeed was a woman. Tidus wanted to see what the "other" side was like and found quite interesting (but not interesting enough) He developed his alt's experience and rank under the crew Infernal Infidels which is still intact today. He thought he could pick up some ideas along the way asking greenie questions that he really didn't pay much attention to in his early days. After all was said and done the crew Four Winds was born on the Midnight Ocean.
Four Winds was a decent crew really getting up and going in Midnight. They were limited in ships and funds but they definitely had quite a few active members always trying to get quick pillages in as much as they could. Roughly 2-3 months into the crew Tidus/Aminota's subscription ran out. As Tidus said farewell, Aminota passed the Torch to one of her trusted senior officers.
Onward to Cobalt
After almost a year and no sign of Tidus or Aminota, They were ready to head back to the beloved Midnight Ocean. In March of '06 Tidus finally renewed his subscription. He found a couple friends still on Midnight but no sign of Aminota's crew and he was kicked out of the Crimson Tide. He found his former Red Russian's renamed to the Arctic Blades which are still around and no Gahris in sight. So as the confused little pirate he was...he left for the Cobalt Ocean to start a new pirate life. He quickly grew attached to the Ocean after just making a new pirate on there for no reason. This pirate's name was Titus. He found himself wandering about the islands trying to find the one to be the busiest when he ran into the well loved and now late Roust. After talking to him for quite sometime about Midnight and the olden days, She let him join the Sea Dragons. This is arguably the most developmental time of Tidus's, or now Titus's, pirate career. Knowing he was in a great crew, Titus set out to get his rank and experience up as much as possible. He worked tirelessly on navy ships for a week and a half getting everything to at least master. He excelled at Carpentry, Battle Navigation, and Bilging. He quickly got those up and had a hard time doing the rest.
The day finally came when Roust came up to him and finally granted him officer training in her crew. Figuring he was a captain before he thought this would be a walk in the park. He could not have been more wrong. He learned many new things like how to be an executive officer of a ship and run sloop pillages efficiently. As hard as he worked he always had times for laughter with the crew. Here he also met many new faces and ended up achieving fleet officer in the crew. Slowly but surely it was happening again though. Titus slipped away from his pirate, crew, flag, and captain whom he never truly got to say goodbye to. Around June of '06 he left the game again.
Cobalt Chapter II
Another seven months passed and Titus had a longing to come back to the game. It is now January 3rd '07 and Titus comes back to the sad news of his captain's passing. Realizing his crew was totally different than what he had once knew he left and stayed independent for 3 days trying to find a small structurally sound crew that could fit his needs. Having bought a couple of ships (including a war brig) he figured he could get fleet officer or senior officer easy but didn't want to push it. One day he was looking and came across the fame list on the ocean and looked at the first two. each had too many senior officers for his liking, so he looked and the magic number 3rd crew on the list which happened to be Yarr Talk. After talking to Txrocket and Nautegal he quickly joined the crew although he believed they were weary of some random pirate with ships and money just asking to join the crew because he felt like it.
He quickly adapted to the crew's every night pillage trying to get on every day he could to sail with them. He befriended many of the officers and even though he had officer stats did not ask to be an officer for roughly two weeks. He approached Cybrpyro (the captain of Yarr Talk) and asked to be an officer of which he said yes. At this point Titus believed he would still be able to rush up the ranks, but he really didn't care because he already knew he liked the crew a lot. He did enjoy the O cut from the pillages very much also and thought it was a very nice idea considering he had never seen it before. This is also around the time he introduced a number of friends to the game and they readily joined Yarr talk also.
Yet Another Crew
Titus was having a blast in Yarr Talk always laughing at something whether it be his name or something else(inside joke even though its probably obvious). His friends had other plans which he thought sounded good. They were to make another crew. At first he was weary and having started two before, he didn't really want to do it. After some considerable effort by his close friend (on the game named Anerius) and his friend, he decided to go ahead and make preparations.
Anerius, having gotten another one of his friends to join, helped raise funds for different things that Titus needed. Anerius's friends Amaedra, realizing he had no life :-P, quickly got his stats up in under 24 hours to become an officer. All the while the three of them gained friends in Yarr Talk which they are still close too. Titus bought a war frigate and a distillery to help with funds for the time before they could make their crew. They decided that after the Yarr Talk Valentine's Day Party (which Titus coordinated) they would leave and form the crew Four Winds.
The Valentine's Day party rolled around and everything went to plan. Titus told Cybrpyro the day before the party that he would announce his leave and make a crew hoping to have a spot in National Pirate Radio (the flag that Yarr Talk is in). So on the day of the party Titus wrote a resignation for the crew and left with Amaedra, Anerius, and a couple others.
The Crew started off quite strong with the constant pillaging done by Amaedra and Titus. They hooked a fellow Yarr talk member into joining for a little bit to stablize the crew. Her name was Redabeda, and she contributed quite a bit of her time to the crew while she was in it. The crew got up to Celebrated status about 2 months after it started with about 15 active subscribers...Yes that was a lot of pillaging. After this point the crew started to go into a depression though.
Back to Yarr Talk
He knew his crew wasn't going anywhere fast mostly because Reda left a month after she joined. Titus knew she would leave one day, but the day came a little bit fast for him. Amaedra stopped coming on regularly due to school work. So most of the time Titus and Reda took pillages out until she left. Titus didn't like having to take pillages out by himself so unless someone was on he pretty much didn't do it either.
Steadily the crews fame dropped down. Renowned, Established, Noted, Rurmored, and finally Aspiring. This is about the point when Titus knew he had to come up with some other plan. With the news of Amaedra quitting the game and some of his other RL friends, Titus left his crew, Four Winds, and went back to Yarr talk where he currently resides. For a while Titus took a break due to pressing issues in real life. He eventually found his way back to the game and was promoted to Fleet officer after another month of pillaging and helping out.
