History: The Pirate Lord and Captain Jack Sparrow once made a bargain with Davy Jones to get his ship back from the depths of the sea. The Black Pearl was raised, but this left Jack with a debt hanging over his head, to be repaid in thirteen years' time. Jack went about his way as captain of his ship, venturing into various exploits in the years that followed.

One of these adventures had him searching for the legendary cursed treasure of Cortez. Once they had the treasure and he'd shared it, he was mutinied by his crew, under the command of his former first mate Barbossa. Stranded on an island to die, Jack managed to barter passage away with some rum runners and off he went to eventually reclaim his ship. Of course, getting at the ship became even more of an adventure than he'd bargained for. With the help of William Turner and Elizabeth Swan, he fought his cursed former crew and prevailed. They even lifted the curse, so that many of the old crew either died off or were returned to normal. Jack was nearly hanged for his crimes as a pirate, but saved and freed by his allies to set sail again.

In the next couple years, his time came up with his debt to Jones. He had to repay 100 souls, his end of the bargain for getting his ship back. After a visitation with his old crewmember Bootstrap Bill, Jack was marked with the Black Spot. It meant that Jones was after him... with the fearsome beast of the sea, the Kraken. Sparrow made the crew flee inland, and they ended up narrowly escaping a run-in with the local cannibals.

With some guidance from Tia Dalma (aka Calypso, Goddess of the Sea), Jack and the others learned of the legend of Davy Jones and continued on the quest to find the key to unlock his chest. The chest contained Jones' heart, and whoever had that controlled the sea. Jack tried to give up Will instead as his repayment, but Jones didn't accept this. Eventually, after many swordfights and arguments against former allies, Jack and the others took off to sea again. Jack attempted to flee and leave the crew to their fate, but couldn't actually carry through with it. But when he returned, Elizabeth tricked him with a kiss, tying him to the ship and sealing his fate. The Kracken swallowed Jack up, and that seemed to be the end for him.

But Jack was brought back from the very ends of the earth. In Davy Jones' locker, Jack had some very surreal and disturbing experiences involving illusions of himself, and other mayhem. The crew saved him, though, and together they solved their course to return back to the normal world. One of the reasons he was returned was to meet with the rest of the Pirate Lords and together they all decided to fight the East India Trading Company. They had to contend with not only the Company, but Jones and his cursed crew as well. During all of this time, Jack had considered the possibility of stabbing Jones' heart himself, thus becoming immortal and free to forever sail the seas. But that wasn't to happen- instead, Jack let Will, who was on the verge of death, stab the heart and gain immortality... with a price. Davy Jones was vanquished, and Will took over his position. Jack was finally free for his next adventure. While Barbossa might have stolen his ship, Jack had a map in his possession... a map that would lead him to the Fountain of Youth.

Jack had been seeking this fountain out for a couple weeks in vain, when he ran into a storm and trouble at sea, capsizing his boat. Calypso offered him help from whatever force had caused him the trouble, and also a deal. He had to teach courses at some place called Arcadia Garden, in exchange for a better map to the Fountain. While not exactly thrilled at the idea of yet another debt, Jack went with the deal. After all, a bunch of people in a class might be clever enough to help sail a ship... and thus he might find a new crew to help him in his search. Jack has been questing for both the Fountain and crew, as well as trying to get out of his little deal somehow.

At Arcadia, Jack managed to befriend a mage who brought back an exact replica of the Pearl. This allowed him to explore the surrounding areas of the school on his days off, often arranging 'field trips' as an excuse to bring classes out there as well. This arrangement worked out well, and when he wasn't off at sea, he had drinks, drinking buddies, and various random women to keep himself occupied with around town. While he didn't seem any closer to finding the fountain, he tried out a couple leads, found some other random treasure, and gained a really good feel for the seas surrounding Arcadia. A schoolwide brainwashing incident made him flee for safety- but later on during this expedition he realized he was curious about what had happened back at the school (he had to return there eventually anyway, it wasn't like he cared- or so he told himself). Once back at the school, he resumed business as usual. However, this wasn't going to last forever.

When the nexus became unstable, he was forced to relocate to Poseidon. He was sure to bring along all his personal effects, and his ship- or so he thought. When he arrived at Poseidon, the Pearl II mysteriously vanished, leaving him shipless again. He then commandeered a temporary vessel to use in the meantime. Of course, no one likes having their ship stolen- and thus when he was caught and the ship confiscated, he ended up spending a few days in the slammer. Once freed from there, he went on to business as usual, which meant stealing another ship as soon as possible. He was more careful this time, finding a better location for the ship when he had to keep it hidden. So far, he's had better luck with his latest acquisition, taking it to plenty of expeditions throughout the next months. The trail for the fountain stayed mostly cold, with a few leads here and there to- sort of- keep him hopeful. There was enough drink and women to keep him occupied in the meantime. A possessed painting of the fountain and his ship caught his eye and took him under its spell for a time, causing Jack to completely alter personality to a cruel, overbearing disciplinarian and neat freak. Fortunately, the curse was lifted and he went back to normal, getting drunk as possible right away. He has also found a new ally and crewmate in the form of Dave Lister, and has assisted the other in constantly pestering their quadmate, Arnold Rimmer. A lead on his ship has set him off on yet another mad quest... whether fruitful or not, it's not known at this point.

Jack is still searching for his ship, the fountain, and possibly still teaching classes from time to time as well.

Personality: Jack is an offbeat individual, whose motives are difficult to understand a lot of the time. He generally appears drunk (appears, or he really is!), his mannerisms always having a unique swagger to them. He can be kind of reluctant to get into direct fights, but it's not cowardice- he just knows what works best to stay alive, all evidence to the contrary (so he claims anyway!). He's a decent enough swordsman when he does step into battle, though his advantage lies more in his unpredictable fighting style rather than his skill. Although he often appears out only to save his own skin, he really isn't always. He can be very loyal when it comes down to it. The same goes for his lying streak. Jack often will exaggerate or fabricate details about his exploits. He also lies a lot of the time to get out of trouble, but tells the truth on occasion... since truth telling has an element of surprise to it. Above all else, being unpredictable is what he's about.

Weapon(s): Huelguista de Muerte (cutlass); pistol; musket

Appearance/physical attributes: Jack definitely looks the part of pirate, always in an outfit of a Caribbean pirate of his time. He's inseparable from his tricorne hat, and usually wearing a long jacket over his basic sea-faring clothes, and boots on his feet. He wears his long hair in dreadlocks, along with a red bandana and various beaded items. He has a mustache and a goatee which he braids, and his eyes are circled with black kohl. Jack also has multiple tattoos, including one of a sparrow. He's also marked with a brand of 'P' for pirate. Most of the time he can be seen making his characteristic drunken motions. However, this only throws people off, since he can fight (or run!) when it's needed.
