kass Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 a - Probably 50 in different eras. Went to about ten. b - I don't portray any pirate-related characters. I portray a woman from the 1690s. c - historic d - neither. I'm a textile historian studying the clothing of the Golden Age of Piracy. I reenact to have a place to wear my reconstructions and to teach people about the clothing (and lives) of our ancestors. I don't really have anything I want to escape from.

Rats Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 1.) 1 Pirate 1 Wild West, 1 Civil War 2.) 6+ Characters. From Ships doctor, Cut-throat/outlaw, Common sailor, bountyman, commoner/landsman, to militiaman. 3.) Making every attempt to be historically based and PC. But tending to be more PFC. 4.) We do this to teach and entertain. But also for the personal escape, the roar of the crowd and above all for the espredecorp of the crew! As far as characters go, depending on the event, it's not uncommon for a reenactor to have multiple roles and have to quickly change from one to another. An example is when we do Wild West in Cedar Rapids. With several different performances, I had gone from gambler, to lawman, to angry townsman, to the infamous cowboy Nate Champion, then to the leader of a vigilance committee. No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
