You are a Spanish conquistador, born out of a middle-class family in Cartagena. Ah, lovely Cartagena, a beauty by the Mediterranean Sea. As an apprentice for your family, you used to watch the cargo ships, fishing boats, and navy galleys in the harbor come and go from the window of your house. Those were the days when life was simple, and you didn't have to make your own decisions. But, at the age of 15, the Kingdom of Spain was a growing empire, and you recognized your duty (and your dream) to serve your country in its growing navy.
First, you worked extensively as a rower, but as your prowess caught the eyes of the officers, you were promoted. It wasn't an easy trip, but hard work and determination brought you to the helm of your very own vessel, as well as being knighted by the King. You have earned the right to be called El Capitán!
This morning feels brighter than normal, and you wake up hearing some commotion outside your room. Thinking that the sounds coming from downstairs (the tavern you're staying at can get rowdy sometimes), you let your head rest at your pillow for a second to possibly drone out the sounds. After the shouts continue, you decide to open up your door and tell those drunkards to keep it down.
The sounds aren't coming from inside the tavern, however. In fact, there is nobody in the tavern... how strange. You get dressed and go outside to investigate.
You are immediately greeted with a loud individual (presumably a messenger) ringing his bell, with a large crowd around him. "You, señor!" he yells, pointing at you, "You could be the next duke, or count of whatever island you like!"
Well yes, you could, but you're not a street urchin looking for money at every fool's opportunity - you've already reached success.
The messenger reveals a scroll, a rather official looking one, signed by the king. You take one glance at it and immediately notice the word "oro" written in bold in the center.
Gold? That changes the situation. In that case, it looks like it's TIME FOR ADVENTURE!
You organize a crew and hop onto your ship, eager to get started. You take one last look at the city of your birthplace and smile. It's going to be one fun journey!
