EASY ON THE GOODS LOVE GIVE US SOME PERSONALITY CHARACTER FULL NAME Joshamee William Gibbs CHARACTER AGE 46 CHARACTER AFFILIATION pirates BRANDED? no
Joshamee is a superstitious man, fearful of pirates during his time with the British Royal Navy, then later of more supernatural entities. He was particularly superstitious of the Black Spot, and performed a short ritual at the time when he saw it. He was also highly knowledgeable of pirate lore, and kept to the Pirate code of the Brethren the majority of the time. Despite being superstitious about many things, Gibbs appeared to be skeptical of the existence of the Kraken; however it was most likely that he was just trying to convince himself as well as his companions that the massive creature wasn't real.
Joshamee loved rum and was often seen drinking it. He loved the drink so much that he was reluctant to use it as a substitute for gunpowder but he knew that staying alive was more important than having a drink that he enjoyed. The expression on Gibbs' face at that time showed that he was considering death instead and was in pain to see the rum be exlpoded as the alternative to a most horrifying death.
Gibbs was close friends with Jack Sparrow and was a loyal boatswain to his captain and is considered more of a first mate. He was willing to break the pirate code in order to help Jack. Joshamee greatly admired Jack for his quick thinking and surprisingly honourable personality. Joshamee himself was also more honourable than most pirates.
OR SMITHY IF YOU'D LIKE LETS GET PHYSICAL
Gibbs carries a cutlass and flintlock pistol. He was handy with a sword, but he hardly used it in battle as much as he used a pistol. Gibbs was also known to have owned a teddy bear that he slept with on occasions.
Joshamee Gibbs was immediately recognizable from his portly build, his ruddy complexion, and his distinctive "muttonchops" facial hair. Gibbs' clothing was typical of warrant officers of the Royal Navy, though it was torn and tattered in places, namely his coat, which had its sleeves torn off.
SIGN THE ROSTER
Born in London, England. Joshamee William Gibbs was born in a low class family that had little to none income. During his teenage years he sailed the seas on a merchant ship in order to make his own income and grew to love the sea. He became supersitious about pirates and legends like Davy Jones, woman onboard a ship, and many more. He became to know a young Jack Sparrow in his quests for supernatural treasure. He became a pirate and a close friend of Jack's during his childhood until he returned to England to turn his back on piracy and entered the royal navy which had more higher pay then merchancy.
During his time in the Royal Navy, he sailed the seas until he overheard of the capture of Jack Sparrow and his father, secretly at night he returned to his pirate ways and helped them rescape and onto Teague's ship The Misty Lady. He never told anyone about this and was still lenient to pirates because of his rum supply. He remained in the Navy for a long time sailing to different ports transporting people to various places. After another eight years, he was discharge from unknown reasons and returned to piracy. He found a ride to a small pirate port where he met a now grow Jack Sparrow. who forgave him for being in the Navy. He was assigned as a Boatswain on the Black Pearl which was getting it's own legend in the seas. Gibbs did more for the ship and the Captian then Barbossa, the Pirate Lord of the Caspain Sea, and LeBelle, a woman, who wanted the position as the First Mate. Joshamee feared the worse for having a woman aboard the Black Pearl.
Staying in contact with Jack's father as friends. He became aware of many tales and how the word of the cursed treasure of Cortes was reaching the ears of the crew and the Captain as they were making their way back to the Caribbean. Gibbs was excited, but still very superstitious infact he didn't like the Pirate Lord of the Caspain Sea ideas on splitting the treasure and knows that he has something bad up his sleeves for Jack. During this time while at a port he overheard of a folklore about the twin sister ship to the Black Pearl that was created by the gods. He hasn't told the Captain about the folklore and like many he doesn't believe that The Regal Duchess is real just myth, but he knows that he could be wrong about many supersitions. Joshamee is now onboard the Pearl as they make their way back to the Caribbean.
