OC HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE — Day Eight: The Denier/Non-Believer/Skeptic

In which Carlos De León does not believe in any kind of ghost stories or superstitions, especially not the tales about the creepy mist the Revenge is currently sailing through - the tales Mr. Buttons, the ship’s loony first mate, keeps spouting, about the spirits of vengeful dead sailors trapped in the mist and making it their mission to brink any ship that passes through it.

Carlos does not believe any of it. Even if strange things keep happening all over the ship. Even if the Swede is acting even stranger, a lot creepier, than usual, and his eyes are a different color than they were before. Even if, whenever he stands still and listens, he can hear soft slithery whispers in his ear, trying to convince him to kill all his crewmates and his boyfriends-slash-captains and take the ship for himself.

He’s sure it’s all just the wind. What else could it possibly be?

It doesn’t matter the subgenre, there’s always one. They don’t believe a killers out to get them or their friends despite the fast growing pile of bodies, they claim there’s a natural explanation for the supernatural event terrorizing everyone, they just refuse to get with the program. This often combines with the cop or older-than-everyone-else character. Which one of your OCs will get killed by their stubborness before their loyalty?

Here is my first OC in a very long time 💖🙈

I haven’t seen a lot of people make OFMD oc’s and I think we should be doing that bc the opportunities are endless baybeee!

I used to have no shame sharing my OCS storylines but now I have some shame so I will not be disclosing her backstory at this time 🥲

[lifransart13]

So...I made this drawing for a collab of vintage covers 👀 Selfship should be eternal

[oddcabinboy]

"Can I kiss you?" popped off during Artfight this year and made this for @saturn-valleys ! I don't usually draw scenes but.. I love these little goobers. Rue, on the left, is Saturn's OFMD oc and Odd, on the right, is mine!

*sobs* You're a doll!! I really gotta get his intro post going at some point cause he's one of my precious boys! 😭 

What song would you consider to be his “theme song”?

Answer: Constellations by The Oh Hellos

2. Is Ace his real name? If not, how did he come up with it as a moniker?

Answer: Okay this gonna be way more detailed than needed, but I don't talk about Ace much...at all really. And I never really explained his backstory~ You also love him a lot so here it is!

---

Ace Cooper is not his real name. It's his most recent one. His last name used to be known as the pirate Captain Bartholomew Roberts aka the “Black Bart.”

Side note: I really hope Taika Waititi doesn't create a character based on Bartholomew Roberts's character for season 2 cause then I would have to obviously change things around for Ace. 💀

I wanted to use Ace as an inspiration from the real-life pirate Bartholomew because of how his crew thought of him and his story.

"Roberts was wildly admired by his crew for his adventurist courage, navigation skills, and bravado.  He captured over 400 ships during his reign, and died in a vigorous battle against a British vessel."

Ace's original name was Jonathan Roberts. Since he was a boy 'Johnathan' or John for short had been prepared to serve England by joining the Navy. When he finally set sail, the ship he was on was captured by a pirate by the name of Howell Davis.

Young John was forced to join his crew and not wanting to die, he complied. But quickly learned that a pirate's life really was the life for him. He never felt happier.

So it was official, Jonathan Roberts was dead and Bartholomew Roberts was born.

'Roberts' knew his place on the crew, getting along with the other members, and quickly became the Captain's favorite.

'Roberts' was a favored apprentice of Captain Davis, the two even going as far as to almost have a romantic relationship with each other

He enjoyed Davis's quick wit and tricks on their journey because after all Davis was known to be The pirate of disguise and trickery.

But that happiness was short-lived because Davis was eventually been tricked himself and there was an ambush. During this ambush, Davis had been shot five times by Portuguese soldiers and died.

Roberts ended up escaping with the remaining crew members from the ambush. The crew quickly elected Roberts to serve as their new captain.

In his rage and grief at the death of Davis, Roberts's first order of business so to speak was avenging Davis's death. He and his crew did just that.

The town they tricked and caused their beloved Captain's death was burned and totally demolished.

After that 'Roberts' and his crew plundered many ships, including warships, until being stopped a few years later.

As the crew was anchored, celebrating their recent plunder, the British Navy attacked them, and in the battle 'Roberts' was shot, falling into the sea to his supposed death. And without their Captain, his crew quickly surrendered and were eventually taken to trial where they were all executed for their crimes of piracy.

When Roberts realized everyone he once knew was dead, he felt like a failure and not worthy of the title of Captain so he never took on the reins of one again. Changing his name once more to what we all know as, Ace Cooper.

Ace wasn't even sure he would be a part of a crew again but then he met Stede Bonnet looking to hire a crew.

Stede reminded Ace a lot of his old Captain Davis and he couldn't help but find himself joining his crew.

3. What is Ed’s favorite thing about him, and what is Stede’s?

Answer: I feel like Ed's favorite thing about Ace would be how protective and gentle he is to those he cares about and Stede's would be Ace's kindness toward others and his skills and abilities as a first mate.

4. If he lived in modern times, what kind of music would he like to listen to?

Answer: Rock!

5. What would be the title of his autobiography?

Answer: Who is the real me? A Self-Discovery Exploration.

[dozecoin]

still debating whether to share that ofmd oc i have...his backstory is heavily based on the mariner's revenge song by the decemberists and i think he's neat but idk

[nortsauce]

Man screw y’all i think stede is cool >:,(

I really love how inspiring he is. He’s a pure example of understanding your self worth while also knowing when its time to let someone teach you the skills you need to survive. BUT he also knows when someone is being a dick and he is able to stand up for everyone (but struggles to stand up for himself sometimes.)

man practice what you preach. TALK IT THRU DAMMIT.

also like:

look at him :(

My ofmd oc whom I love and am in love with as well (her name is Eliza)

[kvetchinglyneurotic]

i like how the first time ed sees stede's library with the fancy candles he's like "seems really dangerous to have all these open flames next to your flammable books on your flammable wooden ship" and meanwhile his first mate is izzy "fill the room with lit candles to practice sword fighting" hands

I feel like I need everyone to know two things about this video on Why OFMD needs a queer Deaf pirate.

Number 1: while I am still very much not a fluent signer in BSL, I have come on a fair way since this one.

Number 2: Vico Ortiz thought it was funny.
