A Pirates Player Profile (capitalized as such) holds character and user information for "Pirates: Quest for the Seas", a pirate-themed late 1990s Windows computer game that allows turn-based multiplayer through email. It is separate from the Pirates game file, which instead is the game state file that it sent between players between their turns. It has the extension .prp.[2]
