Have you ever wanted to pretend to be a pirate? Do you wish to plunder gold from villages or slaughter people in villages? Or do you enjoy the idea of seafaring and overseas adventure?
Then look no further! Don your pirate gear and get your sea legs ready, for it is time to sail the seas with your pirate crew! Arrrr. _________________________ [[[LORE, I GUESS]]] So basically, this takes place in a sort of medieval fantasy time period. Magic exists, but in this particular region of the realm I won't name, it is pretty much non-existent. You and your fellow pirates aren't concerned about what goes on past the coastline. You're looking for riches, glory, and whatever else satisfies your particular interests. This time, you're sailing to the deeper, more dangerous parts of the drink, as the shallower parts have already been conquered and plundered for the most part.
None of the people know anything about what lies ahead other than the reliable possibility of money and killing. The drink is not fully uncharted, but any information about islands or dangers is held by other pirates, some of which are rivals to you. Thus, if you happen to encounter a point of interest, you will have the opportunity to give it a name for your crew to refer to it by.
Before you get ready to set sail, we need to know more about you.
[[[RACES]]] There are three races that are prominent in this particular region. You might encounter all sorts of creatures and people throughout your voyages. You might see ninjas, dragons, krakens, and all sorts of other stuff that may or may not exist in the drink. But at the moment, you and your fellow pirates will probably be a mix of these three races:
Dwarf - Stout people of average size, dwarves are capable of growing awesome beards regardless of their gender. They tend to be quite robust and are capable of taking on tougher tasks.
Gnome - Short and quick, gnomes can quickly learn to make use of various technology and treasures. They have more complex standards than other races, such as paperwork and stuff.
Elf - Without a doubt the tallest race in the region, elves are known for being well suited to any task and their affinity to magic, though none of the elves in the crew know any spells.
[[[RULES]]] Rules are always necessary to maintain a fun and enjoyable roleplay. And yes, even pirates have rules.
-If you're going to be a pirate, you gotta act at least a little like a pirate. Arrrr. -You aren't super powerful, famous, or anything like that. You're a pirate, and if things happen out there they'll definitely affect you. -Those rules that you always see, like sue and meta and gosh and such? Follow those rules too. Common sense is a must-have around here. -If there are any disputes that need to be dealt with, I can make the decision by picking or using good old RNG. -I will add more rules as this goes on, but hopefully you've gotten the idea already. So have fun!
[[[YOUR CHARACTER]]] This thing, that they call the character sheet? You need to fill this out before you can join us. Make sure you add plenty of info in here!
Name: Your name, or fancy nickname people call you. You may add a last name if you want one. Age: All pirates start plundering at the age of at least 18. If you wish to be vague, just say something like "I'm in my 30s" or "I'm real old." Gender: Guy or girl? Race: Are you a dwarf, gnome, or elf? Appearance: What do you look like? Clothes, face, hair? Equipment: Your tools, weapons, and anything else you usually have on you. Purpose: Why do you want to be a pirate, and how long have you been one? Are you new to this crew or do you have experience? Bio: Any info about your person, like a backstory. Give this one all the love you can. Other (Optional): Any information you haven't covered here, you can put here. If you desire to be the captain, this is the place to put that desire.
Your mates will learn about your personality and your skillset as the adventure progresses. I recommend not revealing it just yet!
If you're wondering, "What weapons would a pirate use to ransack a village?" you could pretty much use some nice old medieval weapons or stick to the pirate ways. Some use waraxes, while others use cutlasses. And is a crossbow that much different from a flintlock pistol? _________________________ _________________________ Alright, that's all I've got for now. If you think you have what it takes to become a pirate, sign up today!
Once we have enough people on board, I'll start us off somewhere based on who's in the crew. |

Name: Melvin Sierras Age: 22 Gender: Male Race: Elf Appearance: Has short brown hair, and pointy elf ears. Wears a grey coat with a clip on the chest area for attaching a flintlock. Includes standard pirate trousers and some boots. Equipment: Equipped with a Flintlock and a Short Sword. Purpose: Melvin is only half-interested in the possible loot that will be on the pirate journey. He just likes to kill people for his entertainment. He is definitely new to pirating. Bio: Melvin had a pretty standard life at first, but he somehow lost his drive from an unknown incident. Sometime later he joined up with some imperial force for a year or two at the age of 17 until he was discharged for being 'a dishonorable lout'. Having lost all hope in the kingdoms that never trusted, he became a pirate so that he could do whatever he wanted. Melvin dislikes talking to people, and will hate them even more if they want to befriend them. He doesn't care that much about the rest of his crew as long as he lives. He just wants to kill people because it somehow makes him feel better. Other: His coat is stolen. The guard of the sword is smaller to reduce encumbrance. |

Name: Stanley Silverlime, at ye service! Age: I'm an old timer, alrighty! Up in the 70's! Gender: Male, from the looks of it! Race: Gnome! What did ye think I was? A hairless dwarf?! Appearance: (Only part not spoken through his words) Stanley wears a pair of baggy brown pants tucked into a black boot and a peg leg. He wears a sandy brown long dress shirt underneath a crimson vest and wears a pair of brown gloves. A grayish blue trench coat remains above the vest and a black cape sits on top of the trench. Stan's crossbow is strapped around his back.
Stanley wears an eyepatch over his unshaven peach face. His jaw has gray hairs everywhere and his nose doesn't look very clean either. Stanley's one visible eye is yellow with a hint of brown. Most of Stanley's head is covered in gray hairs, though believe it or not, his hair is actually pretty tidy. Equipment: Me trusty old crossbow Purpose: Well to become the best pirate you'd ever seen, that's what! My experience goes on for years! I've been plundering ever since I was 6, I tell ya! Bio: "Ye want to hear me tale, do ya? Well listen closely! It was a stormy night, one I will never forget! I had been a handsome boy, no family to keep me company, and no treasures (unless you count me ol'Betty, a fine ship, built to take everythin'!) So with me young mind, I thought 'ey! Why not sail the drink!? Get 'oads of money real quick!'
So I sailed off with me crew for a day and a 'alf until the kraken came along and messed everythin' up, I say! I was only lucky enough to reach the shores before she got me too! Ever since then, I've been lookin' for a new crew to help me gain more treasures and get famous!" Other (Optional): Stanley really thinks he should be Captain, despite him performing any 'physical' protest to show why. He's actually not that harmless when he isn't using his crossbow, as he's just an old midget. |

Name: Grey Age: 18 Race: Elf
Appearance: Wears a cowboy hat, a black trench coat(with cape)with blue outlines and blue flame ending as tall as him, has dark blue hair with bang on the left. Wears a black pant(something like a school uniform but black and the bottom up turned) and black boots(?)
Equipment: A bag pack(black with blue outline), two guns that shoot aura(but since he doesn't know spells he doesn't use them), two other guns( Desert Eagle), a heck lot of ammo, a grappling hook, spare clothes and a flintlock.
Purpose: Grey wants to be on the crew because he wants to avenge his mother's death due to the Navy's betrayal. He's new(but he knows how to ship, his father taught him)
Bio: Grey was born on [Content Deleted], on the Island of Cry o gen. When he was young, his father, who was in the Navy, would take him out to boat frequently. His father died on May 1, when Grey was just 13. His mother raised him till he was 17 but the Navy used her as a scapegoat for a secret something(he doesn't remember what)involving his dead father. She was executed for a crime she never committed. Grey was saddened by the injustice perceived upon her mother, so he ran away from his uncle's house taking the oath to never return to his Island until he avenged the wrong doings of the Government. He spent around 700 days and collecting 'stuffs' to use them against the government when he chanced upon this offer.
Other (Optional): He's afraid of dogs, or any other creature that looks like one. He doesn't want to hurt any innocent but would not hesitate to rob the unjust. |

Alright, looks like we've got more than enough people to start this voyage! I'm gonna be real lenient on the characters since I haven't done this in a while, so if you haven't put that much information about your character it's fine, as long as you do alright at being a pirate.
First of all, the captain of the ship is going to be old Stanley Silverlime (RoxProox), and he'll be able to do all sorts of stuff like name his ship and have a first mate. If you have any problems with this arrangement, it's up to you to settle this through roleplay.
From the looks of things, we will probably start off with you guys recruiting people or getting recruited in a tavern setting, since a couple people mentioned that they were new to pirating. I'd like to know if anyone else is going to be completely new to this particular crew or if they've been pirating with the captain for at least a little time.
Finally, I'm pretty sure we might do everything in this thread. If you are completely against this and want it done on Discord or some other place, go ahead and voice your concern, but it'll most likely be here.
(also there are no humans or desert eagles) |
