Name
Jack Sparrow
Gender
Male
Pysical Description
Jack Sparrow can be easily identified as a pirate. He wears nothing but rags say's some, but to him it's his look and his style. He wears a red badanna and in his long black dreadlocks he has beads and what ever suits him most. His face is of pure gold, black eye liner to shape a beautifully shaped moustache and goatie and again at the end of his beard his beads and platted or dread locked. He wears a thin long sleved white shirt underneath his black waist coat. On top his long black leather jacket. Further down he wears a fabric belt to protect his hips from rubbing against his belt and sword holder. not to mention his pistol holder too. He wears navy blue trousers, obviously fadded in their colour. On his feet he wears perfectly sized brown boots with a rim that folds over at the top. Jack posesses a distictive tattoo on his right forearm of a sparrow flying in front of a setting sun over the ocean. This is apparently a well-known identifying mark for the infamous pirate as Commodore Norrington seemed to recognize it immediately. He also has had the letter "P" (for pirate) branded on his right wrist by the East India Trading Company.
Personality Description
Sparrow's most obvious characteristic is a slightly drunken stagger, accompanied by awkwardly flailing hand gestures that make him look unfocused (or possibly slightly ataxic). Attributed to the heat stroke he was rumored to have suffered while marooned—he actually spent that time cavorting with the rum runners who helped him escape and was unlikely to have suffered anything worse than a severe hangover—Sparrow's gestures are believed to be a ploy to help keep his enemies off-guard. His perpetual drunkenness could also lead to his tendency to slur his speech. While atypical for a pirate, Sparrow is also known for his altruistic nature; he often puts himself in harm's way to save other people, most notably Will and Elizabeth.
History
Long long ago, just when Jack was in his prime. Jack was the captain of the Black Pearl, one of the fastest ships to ever survive. While searching for a legendary cash of Aztec gold, his crew mutinied and marooned him on an island with a pistol containing a single shot (allowing the deserted an opportunity to kill himself rather than die slowly from starvation, according to some versions of real pirate codes). Sparrow escaped, however, and went looking for revenge against the leader of the mutiny: his former First Mate, Barbossa. Sparrow kept the pistol and shot for the purpose of killing Barbossa.
Jack arrived in Port Royal eight years later and was arrested for Piracy. While imprisoned, Sparrow meets Will Turner, the son of "Bootstrap Bill" Turner (who was the lone holdout from the mutiny, an action that cost him his own life). Sparrow, familiar with the legend of a "heathen curse" that has since struck the crew of the Black Pearl, knows Turner's child is the only one who can break the curse, and sees Will as the means to get back command of his ship. Turner, though fiercely disapproving of piracy, agrees to go with Sparrow to Tortuga to find a ship and crew and sail to Isla de Muerta to track down the Pearl and rescue Will's sweetheart, Miss Elizabeth Swann—kidnapped from Port Royal by Barbossa (after she identified herself as "Elizabeth Turner") in order to reverse the curse.
Once Jack gets a crew he catches the Black Pearl and steals a coin, thus cursing himself. Jack and Barbossa have an epic sword fight, and in the end, the curse is lifted and Jack shoots Barbossa with the same shot that he was left with when he was marooned. After the battle, Jack is arrested again and brought back to Port Royal for his "dawn appointment with the gallows," however, with the help of Will and Elizabeth he escapes by leaping into the sea, where the Black Pearl is waiting for him.
