Mr. Rick James

Lived in Era 30, got 1 heir(s) (Rick James) and was a member of Flamers United
My destination was to the orient. I boarded my ship with my able crew and cast off. That was the last time I would ever see her. My love. My bride. My everything. How I can only imagine that she still waits for me to return.

I was 19 when we cast off. Today marks my 92 birthday. Damn the years have slipped away. We sailed for 7 years. Seven full years. I have no idea how we managed to stave off starvation. In all that time we never found land. We had been lost. Suddenly, I remember like it was yesterday, we began to fall. We didn't notice our increase in speed due to our dreadful state. We fell and fell and fell. A wild torrent of fresh and salted water came about us. We knew not where we were.

And then we suddenly landed on a steady surface of water. With the impact, the hull crackled before our feet. The sound was deafening intense. With timbers, blood, and empty storage containers strewn about, us survivors found ourselves in another land. We had miraculously found land. We did not care how we arrived, we had found land!

Though it seemed my life of trading, pirating, and adventuring was over, this new land was fraught with danger. Where there' danger, there's plunder. And everyone knows that where there's plunder, there's LOOT! I founded an entire city with what was left of our ship close to the place where we had fallen apparently from the sky. We began to grow. The women and children in the first few days can never be thanked enough for the amount of lives they supplied.

I found it was necessary for myself to help with growing a population, even though my love had been lost forever. What happens now will be recorded into the magistrate's history books.
