Name: Jack Sparrow
Age: In his thirties
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Pirate
Occupation: Jack is a regular bearer of the jolly roger. A true pirate through and through he looks out for only one person, himself.
Weapon of Choice: Jack Sparrow's main weapon of defense is the pistol, as it is simple to use and carry about. Although, Jack has proved capable of some quite remarkable swordsmanship against William Turner, Barbossa and Davy Jones when needed. Jack is resourceful and will do whatever he believes is necessary to win, even if it involves cheating. Jack is not picky when it comes to choosing weapons, as long as he wins the fight, which is most often secured by cheating or bartering.
Home Town/Island: Jack Sparrow was born on board his fathers vessel and as such has no common home, though mostly he resides in Tortuga, where he can get all the Rum (and wenches) his corrupted mind desires.
Ship: His own ship, the `Black Pearl` was stolen (Again) from him by Barbossa and therefore he sails in a collection of dingies and any other floating vessel he can get his hands on until the Pearl is returned to him.

Personality: Sparrow is pirate lord of the Caribbean Sea, and enjoys the freedom of his occupation, drinking rum and seducing women while looking for supernatural treasures. He engages in much dealing and treachery, preferring to use negotiation and wits over weapons to survive. Sparrow is introduced as seeking to regain his ship the Black Pearl from his treacherous first mate Hector Barbossa, and spends much of the sequels trying to escape his blood debt to Davy Jones and battling the East India Trading Company. Despite his rude or cowardly behavior, he is nonetheless an honorable and likable character. (Yes..its from Wikipedia but I have noticed no rules contradicting this for a canon)
History: Captain Jack's real name was Jack Smith and he was born in India on October 25 to an Indian maiden and the keeper of the code, Captain Teague. He was at one point employed by the East India Trading Company. He helmed the Wicked Wench, an EITC merchant vessel, performing odd jobs for Lord Cutler Beckett. However, after refusing to transport slaves, Beckett sanctioned the torching (and sinking) of the Wicked Wench, and branded Jack Sparrow a pirate. Jack came to embrace his outlaw status and became a very successful pirate, with no desire to return to life under the command of others. Later, Jack petitioned Davy Jones to retrieve his ship that he re-christened as "The Black Pearl." From the number of his exploits and limited knowledge of his pre-pirate existence, one can assume that for the majority of his adult life, Jack devoted himself to pirating and spent relatively little time operating legitimately. At some point in his life, he struck a deal with the strange and mysterious woman; Tia Dalma, who gave him his legendary and sought after compass. (We all know what happened after this yeah?)
Other: I have Role played Jack Sparrow on several occasions and have been told I am quite good at it. Though I will leave it up to you guys to decide.
Role play Sample: (From an old RP- Intro)
"Why is the rum always gone when shes involved?"
The mournful voice of a certain pirate captain going by the name of Jack Sparrow. Currently, he was leaning over the desk in the captains cabin, Jack had buried his exotic face in his arms. Lifting his head to peer hopefully into the depths of the bottle, he sniffed slightly, as if judging the glass container.
"Maybe theres some left...."
With this he abruptly stood up, swayed on the spot for a few seconds, not so much to do with the gentle rocking of the pearl, but more-so the fact he was slightly tipsy. Turning around in his eccentric way, he swaggered in a drunken fashion to the holds beneath the cabin. Glaring around in disgust at his slumbering crew.
"At ease gentlemen"
He smirked to himself slightly before proceeding to the door, removing the keys from his coat pocket with a flourish and jamming the right key hastily into the lock, eager to get at the array of...empty bottles?
"No!"
His half strangled cry echoed around the room as he ran up and down the cabinets, stumbling almost tripping in his haste. All the bottles, those that had survived the violent rocking of the ship in the storm the other night were completely empty.
"Even when that wench isn't around theres still no rum!"
Jack ran an exasperated hand through his dread-locked hair before turning around and walking briskly over to where Gibbs was sleeping.
"Mister Gibbs! We have a need to make for Tortuga sir!"
With these words he gave the hammock an expert kick, sending the old pirate tumbling from its hold and gave him a meaningful glare.
