SKILLS:Perhaps the most fantastic object Jack carries amongst his 'effects' is his Compass. Obtained in a barter from Tia Dalma, Jack's compass does not point north, but rather towards the thing that the person holding the compass wants most. Since "the thing you want most in this world" is a fairly loose definition, it has been demonstrated to mean people (i.e.: Elizabeth wanting Jack or Will), objects (such as the Black Pearl or the Dead Man's Chest), or a place (Isle de Muerta or Shipwreck Cove, for example). At a certain level, it seems that all you need know is the name of what you want and the compass will help you find it. For instance, despite never having seen it and only having it described to her, Elizabeth was able to make the compass point towards the Dead Man's Chest. However, if you don't want to claim the object you're searching for, the compass seems to not help you, as it didn't help Jack find the Dead Man's Chest; He didn't really want it for himself, he wanted to trade it for something else. The reason it works for Elizabeth seems to be her motive; she wanted the chest because it was the only way she knew of to save what she really wanted, Will. In this respect, Jack's compass can also be seen as a effectively moral compass, and even Jack uses it as such when abandoning his crew to the fate of the Kraken. Though it changes hands frequently, Jack always seems to re-obtain the compass somehow, much like his beloved hat.

Jack Sparrow was a skilled swordsman but usually preferred to escape or negotiate rather than fight. However when forced into combat Jack held his own in duels by using a combination of swordplay, trickery, and using any available object as a weapon. His trickery included pulling his flintlock on Will Turner to abruptly end their duel and exiting the three-way fight with James Norrington and Will Turner by somersaulting himself off a roof. He was also able to hold his own against Hector Barbossa and Davy Jones, who were both well known for their exceptional duelling abilities. However during his duel with Barbossa, they were both immortal. Sparrow was frequently disarmed and he preferred escape or negotiation rather than combat. However, being the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean and having the highest bounty on his head out of all other Pirate Lords might indicate that he was much more skilled in battle than he let on; alternatively he could have just annoyed and escaped more people than the others. It was known that he learned swordplay from an Italian fencing master in exchange for captured Chinese silk.

GENERAL PERSONALITY: Jack Sparrow was noted for his unusual demeanor, characterized by a slightly drunken stagger and wild, flailing arm and hand gestures that made him appear unfocused and possibly ataxic. This was possibly due in part to the hot climate of the Caribbean, and the large amount of time spent on deck of various ships–though it should be noted he seemed fairly sure-footed onboard a ship. However, it is more likely that his demeanour is due to a common affliction of most sailors of that era–a combination of lots of rum, very few fruits and vegetables, and a tendency to accidentally hit one's head quite often on low-hanging bulkheads below the decks of a ship. It was rumored that Jack suffered heat stroke while marooned on a desert island after Hector Barbossa's mutiny aboard the Black Pearl.

Jack could be extremely serious on occasion, such as after shooting Barbossa on Isla de Muerta. Jack's seemingly-perpetual drunkenness may have been the cause of his slurred speech.

Average in height and build, Sparrow relied more on intelligence, agility, and quick wit to protect himself, rather than physical strength. He frequently outmaneuvred enemies with his words but when forced to fight he was still a formidable opponent.

Sparrow was a decent, if self-serving, man who adhered to the Pirates' Code. He believed pirates could still be "good men," which was his evaluation of Bootstrap Bill Turner. Unusually altruistic for a pirate, Sparrow would risk himself to save others, most notably Will and Elizabeth. It was partly this benevolence that led the crew to the mutiny aboard the Black Pearl, according to Barbossa.

As often as Sparrow saved Elizabeth and Will, however, he also tricked them to serve his own purposes and even offered up Will to Davy Jones in exchange for himself; when asked if he could condemn an innocent and friend to serve Jones forever while Jack himself roamed free, Jack merrily replied, "Yep! I'm good with it!" after a brief hesitation. In a moment of cowardice, he deserted his ship and crew to save himself from the Kraken. However, after checking his compass, he chose to return and save his shipmates.[9] Further evidence of his morality is when he refused to transport slaves for the East India Trading Company, and when his criminal record is read during his attempted execution at Port Royal; though it is quite extensive and includes arson and kidnapping, there is no mention of murder or rape. Jack also claimed to be a man of his word, and often expressed surprise that people doubt his truthfulness.

Jack is known for having created, or at least contributed to, his own reputation. For example, when Gibbs tells Will Turner that he escaped a desert island by strapping two sea turtles together, Jack embellishes the story by claiming that the rope was made from his own back hair. Will later threw this back at him when he asked how Will escaped from the Flying Dutchman. When Will responded with the same story, Jack remarked, "Not so easy, is it?"

HISTORY:Jack was born onboard a ship caught in the middle of a typhoon, off the coast of India. In his childhood, Jack had embarked on many adventures and quests. Sometime later, Jack was employed into service for the East India Trading Company, and was given command of the Wicked Wench. However, after he set free a cargo of slaves, his employer, Cutler Beckett, had Jack branded as a pirate and the Wench to be set aflame and sunk. After failing to rescue the Wench, Sparrow struck a bargain with the ghostly captain of the Flying Dutchman, Davy Jones, to resurrect his beloved vessel, renamed the Black Pearl, and began a new life as a pirate. At some point in his career, Jack obtained the title of Pirate Lord, his domain being the Caribbean Sea.


Jack grew up in a tumultuous household full of outlaws at Shipwreck Cove. He spent most of his youth unsure whether Teague was really his parent, frequently referring to him as "The-Man-Who-Might-Be-Father". Despite Jack's resentment of Teague, he respected the fact that Teague was always there for him when he needed him most, such as when he nearly got his hand cut off by the pirate Rusty Knickers or when he was almost sold into slavery by Captain Lucille Graven. Jack was determined to follow in Teague's footsteps and become a captain of a ship, rather than just some ordinary pirate like the majority of his relatives (explaining his insistence on being referred to as "Captain" well into adulthood).

As a teenager, Jack became fed up with his hectic life in a pirate family and the torturing of his "Grandma". One night, he snuck by candlelight into the study to consult the Pirate Codex, and, coming upon a section on freedom and the need for pirates to make their own decisions, decided he was completely justified in running away. After escaping out the window, Jack stowed away aboard a ship to reach Tortuga.

After two years of being captain, Jack lost the Pearl by a mutiny led by his First Mate, Hector Barbossa, while searching for Isla de Muerta, which hid the treasure of Cortés. With the aid of William Turner and Elizabeth Swann, Jack had the Pearl in his possession once again, after lifting the curse of Cortés and defeating Barbossa. Jack later began his search for the Dead Man's Chest in order to settle his debt to Davy Jones in his favor, which ended with him being taken to Davy Jones' Locker by the Kraken. Jack escaped from the Locker to help the resurrected-Hector Barbossa rally the Brethren Court to stand up and fight against Cutler Beckett's armada, which included the Flying Dutchman. After the War Against Piracy, Jack lost the Pearl again and began a perilous quest to find the Fountain of Youth, where he was reunited with Angelica. Throughout the voyage, Jack encountered many dangers along the way, including zombies, mermaids, and Blackbeard, the captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Over the course of time, Jack became the stuff of legend and many tales were told of his exploits, with most of these tales however were fabrications concocted by Sparrow to bolster his reputation. Despite his many deceptions though, Jack did embark on a great number of adventures, many of which involved the supernatural and various legends of pirate lore.

Indeed, Jack's ultimate ambition was to achieve immortality and the freedom to sail the Seven Seas as a legendary pirate for eternity. Also he caught wind of his cousin's heritage and location, he started to search for her after being years apart. when they were together however, they were very close. He taught her nearly everything he knew with being a pirate and the pirate code. Much to his uncle's displeasure.

READ THE RULES?: You should know what to do here
RP SAMPLE: You should know what to do here
Jack had just gotten done with a hard days work and he hadn't done something like that in a long while. This was the thing with Captains...The helpers were supposed to do the dirty work... Not them. They were supposed to sit idly by and watch the world pass by. He sighed as he looked at his hands and then back to the deck. He didn't want to be there any longer than possible as he smirked as he crept away to the galley/ kitchen to grab some grub. He was hungry and he wasn't about to let a lass at that tell him what to do. He had only been at see for nearly 2 days now and he noticed that the captain didn't come out. Was there really a captain in the captains cabin.

Or was it just locked because Angelica said so and she was the true captain of the vessel. That woman...Oh she is good...he thought as he looked back at the con she had pulled off to get innocent men's hopes and dreams of sailing under himself...Jack Sparrow to get a crew together to sail on this blasted ship. He sighed as he heard his name called, "headed to gather supplies"he said lying to the quarter master as he made his way to the beds for a while to get some shut eye.

Looking around he thought he was in the clear. He went to the cabinet and took out some Rations when he smiled as he heard his name called. He turned around to see the missionary fella...What the devil was his name again...Ahh right ...Swift."Swift, be ye name lad?"He asked as he looked at him, "Feeling better after thy trip up to crows nest for a day or so...Now you know no more preacher stuff right lad?"he asked curiously as he tossed him an apple and went to sit at the table.

"You know they have all been deceived..."He paused as he looked at Philip as he smirked a little,"I be the real, Captain Jack Sparrow. And this is nay the type of vessel I would sail under"he said smirking as he took another bite of his apple. "Now lad...Why you have eyes for the captains daughter...Scuttlebutt has it that your fascinated with her...Word of advice lad...Don't"He sad pausing as he looked at him.
