History Characters / CapturedByPiratesCharacters

* HurtingHero: If you [[spoiler:lose your father and manage to mantain your morality, you fit this trope to a T, never recovering from the loss of your father.]]

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He's adored by everyone under his command, with only the victims of his raids having negative views about him. This is a stark contrast to [[spoiler:captain Dandy, who rules through fear and violence.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: Wrong him and he'll let you die at the hands of his pirates. While a rare occurance, it can happen if you anger him enough.

Characters from captured by pirates

* AmbiguousDisorder: Well, ambiguous for the time. You seem to be suffering from depression due to your mother's death, made even worse if [[spoiler:you're captured by pirates and seperated from your father, who is marooned on an island far away from you.]]

* WeaponOfChoice: His pistol. He seems to like waving it at those that annoy him.

* NiceHat: His pirate cap is every bit as extravagant and impressive as he is.

* NiceHat: His pirate hat's a bit torn and worse for wear, yet it's still pretty snazzy.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Almost always seen with Templeton.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Almost always seen with Squid.

[[folder:Mother]]
Your mother who is long dead by the start of the story.

* DyingDream: [[spoiler:She talks to you in one of these, likely to comfort you in your final moments.]]
* TheGhost: She's never seen in person, either in pictures or [[spoiler:hallucinations.]]
* TheLostLenore: She's this to your father, who still greatly mourns her death.
* PosthumousCharacter: She's dead before the story starts, yet appears [[spoiler:in hallucinations when you're starving to death.]]
* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler:Infection induced delirium aside,]] your father and you have nothing bad to say about her. It's clear her death was a great loss to everyone around her, especially your father who still isn't close to being over her death.

[[folder:Sandy]]
The ship's cook.
----

[[folder:Rosy]]
A noisy, hyper parrot who can potentially be saved from Stripe's attack.

* {{Catchphrase}}: God save the king.
* KilledOffForReal: If Stripes eats her.
* LethalJokeCharacter: [[spoiler:She saves your life if you sneeze during the attack on the Spanish ship, flying through the air and screaming her head off long enough to distract the Spainards.]]
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: To you, should you save her from Stripe's belly. She can even save your life [[spoiler:on the Spanish ship.]]
* PirateParrot: She was this to Gabby, a pirate musician, and potentially [[spoiler:to you if you become an official pirate.]] She's no longer this if you adopt her and [[spoiler:refuse to take the pirate oath.]]
* ToiletHumor: According to Gabby, she had a habit of pooping on his shoulder.

[[folder:Stripes]]
A hungry cat looking after her kittens.

* ChekhovsGunman: She appears by Sandy's feet in the beginning of the book and pops up every now and then, usually causing trouble for you when she does.
* CuteKitten: The reason the sailors and [[spoiler:the pirates keep her and her family around.]]
* FlatCharacter: She's rather plain compared to Rosy, with half of her personality involving her being hungry enough to eat the bird.
* OddFriendship: She's very close with Higgins, a rough pirate with the FaceOfAThug. [[spoiler:This is because he's smuggling milk for her and her kittens.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her eating Rosy [[spoiler:leads to you being disowned by Captain Jack's crew, joining Captain Dandy and potentially becoming a fearsome pirate leader.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:It's not known what Gabby did to her in revenge for her eating his bird.]]

[[folder:Drums]]
An African musician in Captain Jack's crew.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: How involved he is in the pirate lifestyle is never stated.
* FaceHeelTurn: He goes from a musician in Africa to a pirate in Captain Jack's crew.
* FlatCharacter: Even among the pirates, he has so little personality, he doesn't even have a line of dialogue. If you look closely enough, you may get to see him a few times amongst Jack's crew, though that's about it for his character.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:He goes from a pirate to a musician just like he was in Africa.]]
* OddFriendship: With you, a merchant's kid, and Gabby, a fat Irish trumpeter.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Drums is the only name he's referred to, a nickname that's almost certainly not his actual name.
* TheQuietOne: He talks through his music, something which he's said to be very skilled in.
* TokenBlackFriend: His role in the story. [[spoiler:Namely, the path which ends with you, Gabby, and him starting up a music business.]]
* TokenMinority: He's the only named black character in the story.

[[folder:Chips]]
The carpenter for the pirates, turned medic.

* BackAlleyDoctor: He's not even a doctor, he just knows how to cut things. He even [[spoiler:performs an amputation using a hacksaw.]]
* FlatCharacter: Only exists to help you perform a LifeOrLimbDecision.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: He provides this [[spoiler:to you when your limb becomes infected. Due to his lack of medical knowledge, he jumps to this conclusion instantly. Fortunately, Smitty can provide an alternative that saves your arm and your standing in polite society.]]
* TheMedic: Since the actual one died, he's unfortunately taken up this duty.
* TruthInTelevision: [[spoiler:Amputations]] were bloody and crude endeavours which could be performed in seconds a few hundred years ago. As long as the bleeding could be stopped quickly enough, they were relatively easy to do by almost anyone with enough strength, including a rusty carpenter.

[[folder:Freckles]]
One of the younger and uglier pirates.

* ButtMonkey: When he does show up, he's this to the other pirates, who mock him for being less effective than they are.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Freckles isn't exactly the most terrifying nickname a pirate could have.
* FlatCharacter: He has almost no personality, apart from being one of the less respected members of Captain Jack's crew.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Despite being rather unintimidating by pirate standards, he still is one of the raiders on [[spoiler:your father's ship and he participates and survives the raid on the Spanish ship, something even you don't always achieve.]]

[[folder:Portugese Peg]]
The chef for the pirates and a friend of yours.

* AnArmAndALeg: A loose cannon rolled onto him during his time on the navy. He was forced to become a pirate due to being rejected by most of society due to his disability.
* AntiVillain: He's joined the pirates due to them accepting him despite his disability and is slightly more enthusiastic about Jack's ideals than many a PunchClockVillain that make up the crew.
* FaceHeelTurn: He became a pirate due to being rejected by polite society because of his peg leg which he got from an accident at sea. Despite this, he's hardly a heel and the one of the only pirates who never antagonises you at all.
* GoodIsNotNice: He "adjourns" a "court trial" by threatening to shoot anyone who stays. Nobody wants to continue after this.
* HandicappedBadass: He may have a peg for a leg, but he'll face down a group of angry pirates to protect your honor.
* HiddenDepths: He's skilled with remedies for keeping away bugs as well as preparing coconut drinks to help you sleep more easily.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He instantly takes a liking to you and the two of you become fast friends. He even helps you out later on, saving you from a KangarooCourt.
* LethalChef: A benevolent example. His cooking is awful, though he means well. This can inadvertedly get you killed if [[spoiler:you refuse to eat it due to it's pungent nature, being executed by an angry pirate for a botched violin performance.]]
* NiceGuy: He's friendly and helpful, going out of his way to make you feel at home in Captain Jack's crew.
* TeamChef: He cooks for the other pirates, though he's not very good at it due to having few ingrediants. He eventually teams up with [[spoiler:Sandy]] and the two of them work together as the designated chefs for everyone.

[[folder:Hawk]]
The lookout for Captain Jack.

* CruelMercy: He fills his gun with two bullets and gives it to you when he [[spoiler:maroons you and your father.]] This is the pirate's mercy, after all.
* TheDragon: He seems to be this for Captain Jack, frequently seen by his side. [[spoiler:He's also entrusted as the one to maroon your father and potentially you as well.]]
* HiddenDepths: Before Portugese Peg "adjorns" the trial you're in, he does a decent job proving your innocence while acting as your attorney.
* KangarooCourt: The lawyer for you in one of these. The pirates do love their mock trials, after all.
* SchmuckBait: Go on, try to [[spoiler:shoot him with a pistol with recoil far too much for a child to handle.]] It'll certainly end well for you.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:He'll strand you and your father on an island, not caring about your fates.]]

[[folder:Anderson]]
A crazy pirate searching for treasure.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In one ending, [[spoiler:he's torn apart by hungry dogs.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: He becomes a very wealthy man and forms a friendship with you if the two of you uncover the treasure he's searching for.
* EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Courtesy of some starving dogs who spot him while digging for treasure.]]
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Being alone and stranded for so long has clearly taken a toll on his sanity.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: How he's survived on an almost empty island for so long is never really explored.
* LonerTurnedFriend: He goes from an old coot lost on an unfamiliar island to a great friend, provided that [[spoiler:he survives his quest to find the hidden treasure.]]
* NiceHat: His pirate hat's a bit torn and worse for wear, yet it's still pretty snazzy.
* PirateBooty: What he seeks, and what he can find, depending on whether or not you happen to be a good spotter for him.
* ProperlyParanoid: He's worried the treasure is cursed, and refuses to dig it up without someone to help him. [[spoiler:The "curse" ends up being hungry dogs who will settle for a stringy old man to fill their bellies.]]
* SeadogBeard: By his clothes, it's clear he used to be a pirate, and being alone in an almost empty island for so long has given plenty of time to grow an impressive beard.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler:It's possible for him to be EatenAlive by hungry dogs before he can uncover the treasure he's spent so long trying to find.]]
* TalkativeLoon: A given, since his voice is the only one he's likely heard for many years.
* TalkingToThemself: How he's introduced. Luckily for you, he happens to be talking about the treasure he wants to uncover at the exact moment you encounter him.
