Mmmmm-CRACK!! Rumble, rumble.

Lightning surrounds you, as you grab the wooden railing of your ship, cling to the railing as if it were your only life line. It may possibly be.

CRACK!

The storm deepens, as water from the sea and the sky embeds itself into you. It seems you have as much blue below you as you have atop you. The only interruption to the constant rumbling of thunder and cracks of lightning is your crew around you, bilging out water and putting out fires as a handful of imps mercilessly prey on your ship, preying in with their tridents on your crew, lifting them up and dropping them into the drink.

The situation seems dire. Your single-masted sloop is being tossed around by the sea like a tennis ball in a tennis match and the conditions and imps are preying on your crew and nerves like a thousand blows to the stomach.

C-CRACK!

A lightning strike smashes into your bowsprit, completely dismembering it, causing your jib to fall loose. Your sloop isn't a sloop anymore. It's a catboat. Not an improvement when your ship isn't designed for it.

You stumble around on your raised quarterdeck, trying to keep a bearing on your balance-- with the sea tilting your ship extreme degrees at a time, it's hard to know where is down.

The ship's wheel somehow finds itself in your hands, turning around as the rudder gets tossed around like a ragdoll in the ocean. A little bit of nervous strength seems to be enough to pry it from the ocean's grip, giving yourself control of your ship... Or the direction it sails in, atleast.

Your quartermaster rushes up to you as he notices you grabbing the wheel--

"Sir! You're back! Ye've taken quite the tumble a moment ago! We thought ye's were out for good!" he says, as you watch a member of your crew help someone out of the water-- presumably put there by a wave or an imp

"I uhh--..." you murmur incoherently

"Sir! There's no time to lose! The men are having a hard time keeping her topside top! What're yer orders? We have the sea to worry about, the lightning and the imps. It isn't looking good for the Elan!" he says

What'll you do, ol' Captain?

--

Howdy, welcome to Sail and Iron! It seems ye've found yerself through the intro. Like what you see so far? Why not participate!

Sail and Iron is an ISRP. That means it's an "Interactive Story Role-Play". You participate by voicing your actions and replies to the current situation.

So Sail and Iron, being an ISRP slightly modeled after a DnD format, requires a bit of a "character sheet" per se. Or atleast, a sheet showing your current status and important information. Here it is.

Ship: Single-Masted Catboat (Broken Bowsprit & Jib) "Elan"
Gold: 1000g
Crew: 15

It's currently a bit small, but more information may be added over time. I'm trying to keep it small for readability's sake, and that more ambiguous information may yield a better experience.

So are you ready to get yer feet wet, Captain?

Great! Simply fill out the sheet below and we'll get moving!

Name: [First name and Last name. Nothing too long.]
Weapons: [Keep in mind the era. Also, don't be overpowered.]
Backstory: [Explain a bit about your character. Their story, how they got where they are now, etc.]

Lastly, a bit of backdrop on the world Sail and Iron is set in would be important for your character's backstory.

Sail and Iron is set in the fictional world of Ellinia. It's surface is covered in 90% water, and the world's population is vastly a sea-faring kind of folk. The world is also inhabited by fantastical creatures; imps, griffins, orcs, ogres, giants and others. Some of them may be friendly, while others may not be! It all depends on how you as a character interact with them. Ellinia is currently in the equivalent technology era that Earth was in the 1600-1850s, also known as the Age of the Fighting Sail. That should be enough backdrop for now! See you later, Captain!

Jag and Ploppa accepted. Will be making dedicated threads shortly.

AnimeLover rejected unfortunately due to your first weapon. Not only is a .45 MILLImeter revolver an incredibly small caliber (millimeter?), it wouldnt exist in this era.

Name: James Greene
Weapons: A pair of Flintlock Pistols, a Boarding Axe, A rigging knife, and a Dagger.
Backstory: Like so many others, he was born at see, and raised at sea. Land-faring trades seemed no fit for him, and thus he continued to live at sea. After a short term in the navy of one of the numerous island nations, he attempted to carve out a living as a trader. But sometimes guns sell better than silks, and he fell back into mercenary work. Now he does whatever brings in the money, peaceful or otherwise.
