Consequential Sea [R]

[Ladie Luck]

A roleplay by Bou.

Title and IC : Consequential Sea (http://role-player.net/topic/7185814/1/)
Rating: R (because of potential violence, sex and/or drug use)
GMs: TashaWasha and Gravewar

It was dark, cold and dead on the sea. A blunt scowl could be seen on the faces of each crewman as they stared into the ghostly mist that choked their ship though, there was no sound from the mob of red and black on the deck. No sound but that of the sails, its gentle knocking against the mast as the boat swayed side to side. The lanterns had been snuffed, the fuse box opened and the armory cleared. The captain of the ship was hungry for what was about to come and it was contagious. The desire for another blood bath burnt its way into the heart of all three decks of the war ship. The gun shots on the entire starboard raised as cannons eased their way into position, three men to each of the hulking steel mortar/cannons, waiting.

Below this, on the lowest level of the large ship, the only sound to be heard came from the wailing sobs and moans of some pirate’s plaything and the creaking floorboards above. The only source of light came from candles by the trapdoors, throwing shadows of the two guards in front of them. They jeered at the female, her cries and plead for freedom sweeping clean over their heads as the rest of the hold's "cargo" remained in shadow. On the other side of the hatch a single figure sat chained onto various bits of beam and cargo netting. Though many didn’t and wouldn’t realize it, the being had enough chains and holds around it to keep a bear tied down. Its head bowed, hiding the devilish grin on its face as it listened to the rushing of footsteps on the deck above them. It glanced up to the guards for a split second, the ring of keys hung about the swashbuckler's belt. Another glance was shot around to the assorted slaves, prisoners and animals all chained together or in cages.

The Plot:
You are one of the captives on this large, pirate ship. No matter where you are from, you have somehow ended up as a chained captive (either you have been coached onto the ship, bashed over the head, or you were simply somewhere you should not have been) in the hold of the tri-leveled, magically protected ship. You will start off in nothing but rags and bare fists although as the story unfolds you'll have the chance to obtain swords, guns, sticks and/or magical scrolls and the like.

As a captive, at this point, all you know is that the crewmen you have seen so far are all human in crimson-red shirts and varying colored (but usually black) patched trousers. Some of the pirates wear golden hooped earrings and/or bracelets, and you may or may not have noticed the few that sport a simple bandanna. In addition to all those items that your captors enjoy sporting—though your gaze may not have been drawn to the few pirates’ usual thigh-high boots (some have been seen shoeless, mind you), by no means have you not noticed the cutlasses and daggers adorning them as they attend to their business—which they use to torment you and the other prisoners during times of boredom.

Why were you caught? You may not know or perhaps you’ve heard the pirates going on about selling you in Ammon City as a slave. The type of slavery depending on the person's character (i.e. A beautiful witch could be seen as a great caster, potion-er, or sex slave; a barbaric snow-man could be seen as an excellent guard or prized fighter, or even a great source of a human-skinned coat, etc.).

This is a fantasy based Rp and I am allowing for you to be any type of mythical, power-wielding creature (witches, dinji, demons, etc.). I also am going to ask you to be reasonable when coming up with your power and abilities; I also want you to be as creative and adventurous in regards to the skills and talents you have. Just remember, as of right now everyone is weak and chained. As GM, I will have the final say (Gravewar too!), but as long as it’s not ridiculous then we will get along nicely—I hope.

Regarding time (I almost forgot)! The longest you can have spent on the ship is up to three years (the planet is huge). The shortest: about six months, though many have lost track of time.

Somehow the pirates on the ship have managed to use sealants (whether it is a spell, an object, just plain iron chains or taking away your power source) in order to keep you, the prisoner, weak and defenseless along with nearly starving you. How they managed this feat being only human..? You have no idea. Perhaps you'll find out along the way - if you escape.

S
Something New:
I also intend to introduce a 'new' gaming system into this RP. I'm say new because I have not seen a RP in this community that's done it. I want the RPers, when posting, to have a maximum of 1 note-worthy action. The RPer's action will then allow for me to give them the consequence of that action.

Here's an example. My example character will be Bob.
My post:

Bob ran through the middle deck, his heart pounding and eyes wild. He let out a girly shriek when the exit suddenly became barred by two large pirates.
He looked left and saw the blue waves though the shooting hatches. Bob bolted to the hatch and dived out towards the water.

Note that only the orange section of the post is note-worthy. Screaming like a little girl in this occasion is not going to cause a worthy consequence.

Once the poster has finished his/her post, I want him/her to then post the note-worthy action in bold at the bottom. In Bob's case I would write:

Bob dived towards the water.

Bob will then receive a PM from me, your wonderful GM (or the Co-GM if for some reason I'm not on--I'd let you know if I can't play for whatever reason), and will be notified of the consequence jumping out of the hatch has caused. Example of message the player for bob would receive:

To Bob
Bob hits the water without injury, however looses the sword he collected earlier.
- TashaWasha :AWSM:

Now that Bob has a consequence to his actions, the player is free to post again:

Bob flew out of the hatch, he was free! Free at last! He hurtled towards the water, keeping his body straight and pointing his arms forward to reduce his injury. As he hit the water his sword broke away from it's sheath, sinking into the depths of the sea. As bob surfaced, he turned to look at the islands. Land... He started to swim over to the sandy beach.

Bob starts to swim for the beach

If the post contains no note-worthy action. For instance if it's interacting with another player, then there is no reason to post anything in bold or for me to PM them.

ALSO

Once you have a consequence, it should be the first thing mentioned/acted on when making your next post, for example:

Post 1: Bob reach out into the sea.

My Consequence: A shark bites Bob's fingers off.

Post 2: The feeling of something sharp ripping into Bob's flesh causes him to yank his hand out of the water. He turns to the others screaming.

P
Rules:
1. The basic rules for all of RPG apply here.
2. What I say goes. Don’t worry, I’m fair and open to private messages regarding my decisions if there is ever a problem.
3. I will not require a set amount of sentences unless I see a million one liners or too many un-descriptive responses. If that happens, I will give the person(s) a warning first before setting a 2 paragraph minimum for all.
4. If you’re going to be absent for a while please give me a warning. If one is not present for a week, his/her character will be killed off.
5. If you have any ideas for character side plots: run it by your fellow GMs first and wait for approval.
6. Correct grammar, punctuation and spelling please. Spell check, dictionary.com, Microsoft word: all great ways to keep me happy.
8.At the end of your character profile I would like the word that is made from the letters spelled throughout this OOC description to indicate you having read the rules and everything regarding this RP. I’m here for fun too but I’d rather not have to repeat something that’s already been stated. Further explanation: There are letters in three of the spoilers and in one of the posts. Should spell out a four letter word. It will change as well, cause I'm evil and have nothing better to do with my life.
9. More rules can be added.

O
Confusing? Any questions? I'm always open to suggestions.

The Setting:


http://i30.tinypic.com/rk7bjq.png
Click for a bigger picture of the map. (http://i31.tinypic.com/8vqfyt.png)
Continent Tungola:
Features of inhabitants: can be seen as African in origin. Though lighter skin toning make up the individuals here. Larger noses, bulkier builds. The hairier beings are from this continent.
Temperature: freezing with it being so near the pole.
Homes: Either by magical means or primitive, inhabitants build homes that insulate their homes. Their homes can be made of: ice (some inhabitants have learned to build ice homes like today's igloo), rock (there happens to be many a large homes chiseled by magic or other means in order to make livable enclaves to use as family shelters), and/or can be located underground (most common home. The continent is riveted with underground shelters. Inhabitants that want to enjoy life without worry from dangerous storms usually choose to live here. Though, cave-ins are the new extreme while living in these.)
Inhabitant's Culture: Warm, multilayer-ed outfits. Worship one God known as God (oh yeah, real creativity on my part), believed to have blessed their people with the ultimate minds. Yes, this grouping of individuals are very cocky. Most advanced continent. Slavery is allowed and is usually the punishment brought to individuals who break the rules. Both male and females rule equally.
Environment: Seemingly a frozen wasteland. It is constantly bombarded with powerful blizzards. The central part of this continent is sunken in an enormous arctic valley completely surrounded by a towering wall of icy bedrock. Within the massive crater, a vast network of man-made caves and tunnels has been carved deep within the bedrock with paths leading up to the plains and out into the valley. The land above the crater is strewn with a very few tall evergreen forests and large mountains blanketed in snow. Large, densely furry creatures reside here. Most are carnivores. Many herbivores are small and travel under the snow. Few hunt the inhabitants of this continent.
Continent Xian Gu:
Features of inhabitants: can be seen as Asian in origin. Skin toning varies here, but a majority can be seen as today's native American in coloring and build. The further south you go, the darker the skin toning and taller the individual. Northern individuals here are shorter and lighter in coloring.
Temperature: Not nearly as cool as Tungola. The temperature here is temperate.
Homes: Homes in the trees are what the individuals here prefer, allowing the dangerous ground dwellers of this continent more room to maneuver. There are also ground homes made up of mud/bricks. These homes usually have an underground passage to allow escape if a creature decides to pay a call.
Inhabitant's Culture: Advancement is good here, but beings here are still more content using arrows and swords. Outfits worn here usually vary depending on the time of year. One layer may be worn during the warmer months, multi during the cooler. Inhabitants here have adapted to the changing temperatures here. Worship three Gods. Moj (the god of life), Ruy (the god of death) and Tohq (the god of all else and offspring to Moj and Ruy). Most individuals carve their bodies with symbols thought to bring about their God's protection. Slavery is allowed here as long as the enslaved is seen as frowned upon by their gods. Males are more dominating. Women's uses are child bearing and home care.
Environment: A dense, deciduous forest covers this vast stretch of land, along with clear grassy plains. There are also hills that continue for days between. Furry, scaly, and feathered creatures reside here. Many are egg layers. Many hunt the inhabitants of this place.
Continent Rusova:
Features of inhabitants: can be seen as European in origin. Though the darkest skin toning make up the individuals here. Smaller builds, slimmer figures. The balder beings are from this continent.
Temperature: Hottest and most humid climate. Located nearest the equator, heat is this continent’s friend.
Homes: Mud and wooden homes reside here.
Inhabitant's Culure: Nudists reside here (lol), many individuals prefer walking around with little to nothing on in the stifling heat of this continent. Worship a multitude of Gods but the most well known is Rusva. Rusova takes pride in death. The greatest hunters are known to reside here. Slavery is not looked to kindly on when the mass majority believes in sacrificing the weak and unruly. Females are the more revered on this continent.
Player Added Info: There is a Northwestern port in Russova called Drakcon. Dragons run this city. The dragons also inhabit a giant mountain fortress located in the North.
Environment: Like today’s rain-forest. Vegetation grows tall and thick and little sunlight is able to penetrate the vast canopy above. Furry, scaly, skinned creatures reside here. Many are photosynthetic (a mammal may in fact be very plantlike). Very complex environment. Many hunt the inhabitants of this place.
Eight known civilized islands (more primitive beings).
The inhabitants of the islands resemble the continent they are closest to. Their society and beliefs are - if not the same, very similar to their continent.
Five cities (More advanced beings).
The inhabitants usually look like the inhabitants of the continent that they are closest too but you get more variety because of the others flocking in from mobile homes and other cities. Society is more diverse. Homes are like their home continent's usual home structures, though outside influence may cause a twist to the makeshift.
An example would be: Amnon City having ice or rock homes like the homes located in the Tungola continent perhaps with added brick work done from Xian Gu's inhabitants.
There are sure to be some islands that are there but have not been listed because (a) they haven't been discovered, or (b) they're too small to get recognized. People can come from uncharted islands if they like just make sure you tell what city/island/continent you are closest to.

Another thing to note, the continents are not waring with one another but there are wars within each continent between settlements (or cities when involving Tungola). I am allowing players to create characters with varying backgrounds. Don't be afraid to make that Tungolian prejudice against every other continental being. Please do run suggestions by either me or Gravewar; like I said before, I'm (and he/she's) always open to suggestions. Continuing on!

The planet is more so made up of water than of land (as seen in my wonderful picture). Many modern living people (communities around Tungola, and all the cities) that do not live in the cities or on the continent make homes in boat-like, floating homes and towns. They are usually just one story and usually vary in design and shape, depending on what population is near. The main transportation for people everywhere, of course, are boats (on water) and a tamed beast (on land).

Because of the large expanse of water on this planet, most of the organisms inhabiting said planet would have evolved into water dwelling creatures. Meaning: you are more likely to see a mermaid than a phoenix and if there were vampires, they’d be more aquatic than the vampires viewed in our world. Main weaponry would be basic melee, cutlasses and other swords and perhaps a flintlock pistol here and there.

In this role play no one will know the personality, goals or history of each other until they interact with one another or, unless you’ve decided to share with one another while on your long (or short) voyage. Hopefully people will not step into cliché roles, and I hope I can get a variety of mythical beings and not just a million elven maidens.

Bou:

Questions/Concerns:
You said it was in a fantasy world, but about what era is it in?
It would be a mixture of Medieval and a little of today's modern era thrown in (a rare gun thrown in here and there--I'll go into more detail about the gun types once I do some research on the types I believe would fit).

How advanced is the technology?
Erm. No cars or electronic devices. Still going for that Medieval era feel here. Woe to the sword of doom! and all that good Medieval-ly stuff. Guns have been invented, but only in the advanced settlements. =3

Is it anything like real life piracy, where women were usually not allowed on board due to bringing bad luck?
Nope. In this fantasy era, woman and men alike are allowed to die at sea!

I think it'd be a lot most interesting if we had a bit more insight as to who the main crew is, especially the one calling the shots and keeping the human, non-human people in captive.
Well, as the captives of the ship, all you know is that the crew you have seen so far are all human. Mean, cruel humans. :AWSM:

Bou:

Name: Blue Cleves (http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e94/Kissy1/Curly_Black_Hair.png)
Race: Sorceress-Shapeshifter hybrid
Age: 22
Birth Place: Niamkey City
Appearance:
She has short, black, curly hair and large, amber colored, almond shaped eyes inherited from her father. Her large, rounded nose, rounded ears and medium, shapely lips were gained from her mother. Neither of her parents contributed to her freckled, light-olive skin.
She has a slightly curvy, slim build that—during the time of her capture—seems to be malnourished. She’s short, barley reaching 5’ 1”.
Apparel/Items when captured: During her time of capture, she had a simple tan, sleeveless shirt and a pair of dull, black trousers.
Traits/Abilities/Spells:
Aside for the abilities gained from her weasel-shifting father—the abilities being: to heal her own wounds at a snail’s pace and smell a lot better than the average Sorceress and human, she has absolutely no abilities to be acclaimed amazing for.
Her spell usage is rather…horrible, most times. Partially because of her age/inexperience, but mainly streaming from her horrible parentage, she has little to no control over any spells she tries her hands in performing. And when she does dip her fingers into spell books, only the spells that deal with shifting her own body seem to work out—usually. Her main honest-to-good spell she can perform is casting a small, puffy cloud six feet in diameter to appear and hover six-inches over her head. The spell uses up a good deal of her energy but stays with her until she casts it away—usually between the summoning of the cloud and her dismissing it, she can cause it to either drizzle, snow or hail lightly around her. She can also call for a small twister to spin around her, causing severe nausea and dizziness—as it usually takes her for a ride with it (she’s tried controlling where the twister takes her, but so far she’s learned how not to throw up when being spun around in place). Another problem with her control of the cloud is that it doesn’t always listen to her (i.e. calling for rain but getting sleet).
How and Where were you captured:
It was a cool and quiet night in Niamkey City. All of the inhabitants located in a northern area of said city were sleeping soundly in their beds; even the guards were extremely mellow this night as no howlers were stirring in the brush. Tranquility was in the air and Blue was in a hysteria of grief.

In her frenzied grief (aka panic) she’d dashed off towards the woods. Why? One does not think logically while in a panic. And she’d gotten herself caught and caged by a ragtag group of pirates—what were they doing in the woods to begin with? She did not know and was not in the right state of mind to try to figure it out.
What makes you worth capturing:
Hair. That’s all I’m allowed to say for now. ;) Oh yes, I'm still forcing you all to be descriptive.
History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any):
Unable to.
Personality shown so far on the ship:
Very, very afraid and nearly invisible to most around.

Auki:




Name: Lyia Cain ( Lie-ee-ah Cah-in )

Race: Centaur

Age: 24 years old

Birth Place: A Small Island near Amaranth Island in the Continent of Xian Gu

Appearance:

.Lyia. (http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs18/f/2007/150/b/3/Centaur_Wallpaper_by_Lunnagirl.jpg)

She is over 8ft tall with her horse body being 5 ft 2 inches in height and her human body adding another 3 ft on top of that. Her eyes are a dark brown whilst all her other features are pale in colour. During the summer, her hair is so fair it appears white, whilst in the winter it turns a dirty blonde. Her pelt also darkens to grey during the colder seasons. Although slim, her upper body is not muscled and carries little power. Her legs are built more for speed and stamina than for strength.

Traits/Abilities/Spells:

Although her tribe specialises in magic, females are banned from learning any offensive spells. Instead, they are kept back to learn the art of healing and restorative magic. She makes an adept healer and has been taught much during her 5 years of training. Like all those in her clan, her magic is amplified by the use of certain herbs and plants.
Also due to her gender, she knows how to cook and clean, as well as handle small children - Such things are considered important to a female centaur. However, she gets nervous around newly born foals.

Apparel/Items when captured:

+ Cloth wrapped around upper body to form a garment
+ Herb bag
+ Various basic herbs
+ Fire-making tools
+ Small supply of food for her travel

How and Where were you captured:

It is always important for a healer to carry the correct herbs in case of emergency. As such, Lyia was sent Ossitsova Island to collect some ‘Phoenix Hair’, an uncommon plant that is able to reverse injury to the brain. Such a voyage was rare for the centaurs and when she arrived at her destination, many were surprised to see her. Although it could be seen that the rumours of wisdom and excellent magical ability within their race were true, many also noticed her primitive behaviour. She wandered the city lost and afraid of requesting help. A net to tangle her hooves and a swift club to the head brought about her capture when she ventured too far towards the outskirts of the town.

What makes you worth capturing:

A rich customer with a certain fetish has requested a centaur’s capture. Although the pirates stumbled across her through luck, the reward they plan to get for her will be tremendous.

History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any):

Although she is unconsciousness for the most part, when she is awake, it is clear by her actions and occasional noises that she is from a primitive background.

Personality shown so far on the ship:

Nervous of everyone around her, she can often be heard whinnying during the night until she is knocked unconscious.

Iwanami_Kitsune:

Name: Mai Satoyo
Race: Child of Ruy*
Age: 20
Birth Place: Northern Xian Gu

Appearance:
She has black hair with a rather pale complexion. She has unnaturally bright green eyes. She is slightly on the short side (5'3'') and is light weight. On her back is a large tattoo, which is dedicated to Ruy. In the center of it is the sign of Ruy, around it is writing in an ancient language that has been long forgotten.

Traits/Abilities/Spells:
She has the ability of energy manipulation. She can give or take energy of various forms (fire, electricity, life force, ect.) and can release energy in various forms. In other words it is conversion, for example if she absorbed enough energy from a fire, she could convert it to electricity. There is a limit to how much she can store at a given point (about as much as one strike of lightning max). Also depending on the type of energy she uses determines how much is used and the rate at which it leaves her body. So to fuel fire would take less energy per second then if she packed a lot of punch into one blast of energy. There is always the risk of using so much power that she doesn't have enough strength to keep herself alive. And finally to gain enough energy to make the previously mentioned bolt of lightning would Mai would have either save and collect the energy over a really long period of time, or find a way to get struck by lightning. Using the energy is the easy part... finding and collecting it not so much.

Apparel/Items when captured:
She was wearing slipper-like black shoes, black knee length pants, and a burgundy shirt.
Also had a katana style sword,

How and Where were you captured:
A few months after moving to Ossitova island, Mai was home alone when the pirates came for her. She heard strange voices from outside the house, and felt that something wasn't right. Without thinking she grabbed her sword and headed for a window by one of the tree branches that supported the house and hide in the tree. Unfortunately she couldn't make it out before they got to her. She put up a valiant struggle, wounding a few and even managing to kill one. However one managed to slip behind her and place a sealant in the form of a collar around her neck, at that point she was out numbered and overpowered.

What makes you worth capturing:
One closely guarded secret of her people was that the gifted ones could be controlled by a closely guarded spell. However somehow it has gotten in the wrong hands. Mai has speculated that on one hand she is a weapon, her abilities combined with her skill are perfect for any noble in need of an assassin. On the other hand with her ability in energy manipulation she could be used as a source of power for a strange device or a magical spell requiring a lot of power.

History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any):
She has generally kept most of her history to herself. She has shared some of her more fonder memories of childhood. All three stories she has told involved a friend who she has renamed in every story in an effort to protect that person so there would be no chance of them getting involved. Though it is pretty clear that she is talking about the same person. The first was simply the memory of sneaking away from the elders and climbing trees with a boy she called Arai, and about how mad the elders became when they found out. The second was a prank her and a boy called Kaoru played against the older kids, they were almost caught but Mai managed to find a place to hide just in time. The third was about a boy named Shou who when his mother discovered that he was playing with the Child of Ruy, death, he stuck up for her insisting that she was just as nice as the other kids.

Personality shown so far on the ship:
For the most part she has been levelheaded and rational. To her fellow prisoners she had been kind and has shown strength throughout her time on the ship. To the pirates she has been rather docile recently, though in the beginning she was rather defiant.

*In the Xian Gu description three gods were mentioned. I figured maybe that there could be a gifted individual(s) in Xian's culture that were said to be born of one of the gods. Legend has it they are created by the gods to be used as the gods see fit. The elders of the community meet when one is found and consult the gods on which god the child comes from and is dealt with accordingly from there.

And finally to gain enough energy to make the previously mentioned bolt of lightning would Mai would have either save and collect the energy over a really long period of time, or find a way to get struck by lightning. Using the energy is the easy part... finding and collecting it not so much.

History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any):
She has generally kept most of her history to herself. She has shared some of her more fonder memories of childhood. All three stories she has told involved a friend who she has renamed in every story in an effort to protect that person so there would be no chance of them getting involved. Though it is pretty clear that she is talking about the same person. The first was simply the memory of sneaking away from the elders and climbing trees with a boy she called Arai, and about how mad the elders became when they found out. The second was a prank her and a boy called Kaoru played against the older kids, they were almost caught but Mai managed to find a place to hide just in time. The third was about a boy named Shou who when his mother discovered that he was playing with the Child of Ruy, death, he stuck up for her insisting that she was just as nice as the other kids.

Lady of Shalott:


Name: Echo Kaoti (Kay-oh-tea)
Race: Djinn, a genie with free will, meaning she has no master and is not attached, nor lives in, a lamp or what-have-you.
Age: 19
Birth Place: Unknown, even to her.
Appearance:
Echo has pale, fine skin that has never been changed by the light of the Sun and her body is slender but curvaceous. She stands at an average five feet and six inches tall. Her crimson tresses are trimmed short to her shoulders, naturally lying as if styled in calm curls. Her lips are often painted, but even without the artificial color, they’re dark pink compared to her complexion. Echo’s eyelashes need no enhancing, as they touch her cheeks when she closes her eyes and are thick, dark and rim her ocean-blue eyes beautifully.
Traits/Abilities/Spells: Because of Echo’s young age (djinn can live to be several hundred years old), she is rather inexperienced with her talents. She can, to an extent, manipulate the elements of nature and has been teaching herself to “Wish,” which is basically summoning, but applies to almost anything and is a train only djinn’s have. She learned to read runes and tarot cards as a trade and always keeps both on her person.
Apparel/Items when captured: She prefers to wear little, if anything at all, but having been so close to the South Pole when she was captured, wore a large white fur jacket, which has since been taken by her captors, and she had small trading goods and money with her, also taken by the pirates.
How and Where were you captured: Her likeness has been murmured through each of the cities and yet the young djinn had remained elusive. Some dismissed her to just be legend over her nineteen years, others hunted her more passionately, taking every lead they could get. It was one slip up, one foolish move in the city of Angay that lead to her capture by pirates of all things. What her slip-up had been, she wasn’t certain, but she must have made one.
What makes you worth capturing: Well… She’s a djinn. Need I say more? Well, if I do, djinn are rather rare and on top of that, she has blazing red hair and is strikingly beautiful.
History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any): Nothing, except she apparently knows some ancient and not-so-pretty curse words to call those who beat and starve her.
Personality shown so far on the ship: When awake, the red-head is fiery and snappish towards her captors, and when what little words there are to be exchanged are spoken with other prisoners, Echo seems bipolar, ranging from sarcastic to depressed and sympathetic in a matter of moments.

Sorry for thieving Kirsty's picture from her roleplay. xD
Where she has gone, I have no idea, and the picture was just too good to pass up. I love her. She's so pretty. :]

I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to go into that much detail. I've got some things to deal with now with my family and I won't be able to take something this complicated on. Thank you and I wish you the best with this roleplay. Enjoy yourselves, everyone.

Caminus:

Name: Caminus
Race: Dragon
Age: 23
Birth Place: Rusova
Appearance:

Dragon Form: A sky blue belly and a forest colored camouflage back and head. His eyes were slitted and colored a fiery red. He is about 5'9” tall and 6'2” in length from nose to tail(in a normal stance. Stretched out he is about 12 feet in length). His wing span is 12 feet from tip to tip, stretched out, though when not in use he keeps them tucked in close to his body, while in tight places. A relaxed position is a foot from his body and slightly unfolded. His tail looks clubbed but splits into three pieces, a large middle portion and two side blades, to be used like scissors, or a mace. His claws in the front look like scales hands and claws on the end of the fingers. (if you need a picture look for European inspired dragons)

Human Form: Looks 20 something with Medium build. He's about 5 feet 9 inches tall. He has Short black hair with medium dark Skin color. His eyes still look the same has his dragon form. He also has a small dragon tattoo on his right chest denoting his family heritage.

Traits/Abilities/Spells:
Although he normally stays that color he can changed his skin color in dragon form to match his surroundings. He can physically produce fire, but also has the ability to manipulate the flame. The ability to go into a semi hibernation state, one that keeps his mind alert but the rest of his body is very much slowed down. Allowing him to ingest food and be observant of his surroundings. He also has the ability to learn new spells using dragon's magic. Currently no spells are known other than fire spells, and even then only the basics. (a normal learning curve is applied here). He also has an acute sense of smell, like most dragons do.

Apparel/Items when captured:
He was in his dragon form when he was captured and is still in said dragon form now. So no cloths, no money, no nothing for him.

How and Where were you captured:
He was patrolling the Dragon territories, he was still too young to be in the heavy fighting. When he saw a small group of humans down below attempting something. Being a juvenile dragon, he decides to take them out. Surely, he thought to himself, even a young dragon can take out a few humans, but that was exactly what they wanted him to think. When he got low enough they shot an arrow just behind his head which exploded upon impact and knocked him out cold. The trees caught his fall and he was battered by their massive branches on his way down. one of which struck him in the head again. And after all that, he somehow managed to land head first on the only outcrop of rocks in the area. When he came to he had lost his memories. Although, he still knows what he is and what he is capable of but his past, his family, his friends... All gone. His first memory before scumming to the concussions that he faced was cursing the rock that he hit.

What makes you worth capturing:
He is a dragon and as such his bones can be used for magical purposes, his hide could be used for armor, eyes were commonly used on the end of a staff to help focus magic, teeth were commonly shaped into knives and the skull and vertebrae were commonly placed on the bow of ships as decorative pieces. Also he could be used to guard something precious, His flame would help make strong metal alloys, and an impressive pet (if you capture one young enough. EI 5 or 6 years of age)

History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any): None he has been very quiet.

Personality shown so far on the ship:
Very Secretive and has kept to his dark cage (ideally so dark that others could not see his figure unless he moved.) Just for fun he often made his nostrils glow red at night while his stomach growled for food to make the others think there was a big monster in the cage. He also curses random outcroppings of rocks that should not be there in the first place.

Oh oh and the word of the day is COOK

Bou:

Gottcha! No hard feelings on my part. If you have any questions about Rusova's culture/background or if you want to help me build upon it, just ask and I shall respond. :AWSM: (that goes for anyone, btw)

Do you have any questions? Concerns?

Oh!

Just in case you or anyone else is still a little confused about the Note Worthy Action thing, I'll post a message I sent someone else. Let's say you're character is a man named Liver:

Liver stared at the open expense of jungle, his head still ringing from the impact of the plan crashing into the jungle. Having spent the night cold, lonely and hungry, Liver decides it would be best for him to search for food this day. Noticing a large box with large chunks of debris and charred plan scattering it, Liver heads over to it in the hopes of finding a weapon or useful item.

A note worthy action would NOT be: Liver wants to see if there is a weapon in the box.
A note worthy action would be: Liver begins to open the box.

By posting before the noteworthy action that you were looking for a weapon or something useful, I already know what you're looking for so you don't have to post what you are looking for in your action (if you don't wnat to).

Also

I plan to cover what the landscape looks like, what the temperature is, etc. So, unless my post states that there is a dagger, beer keg, popcicle, etc. laying on the ground: the ground's empty. That means you'll have to state that you plan to search the dead body laying at your feet for a weapon in the hopes of finding one. =3

Momohubo:

Name: Nye (No last name)
Race: Hybrid of three races: Human, Succubus, and Angel. (I'll explain more in Traits/Abilities/Spells)
Age: 20
Birth Place: Ossitsova Island
Appearance:
His appearance is largely affected by his mother. His mother was a succubus which gives him a more petit frame than that of Incubus (male succubus) and male humans. His mother also gave him an unusually curvy figure for a man, again due to the fact she was a succubus. His face is sharp with a pointed jaw, thin but beautiful lips, unnaturally great teeth, high cheek bones, small and smooth nose, brown eyes with small dashes of green(green from his father's side/angel side) and short black hair with natural blond highlights(due to his angel heritage) that goes to his eye brows. He stands at 5 foot 6 and his arms and legs have some muscle to them because succubuses are slightly stronger than humans. Angels are much stronger but the angel heritage is manly deluded with the much more immediate succubus influence. (Basically the succubus influence gives him the 'pretty boy' appearance, if it was his father that was an incubus and the mother human he would have looked more 'sexy' 'handsome')
Traits/Abilities/Spells:
Nye has a little from both from his mother’s side and his father’s side. His father was half human/angel so already his angel powers will not be that strong. From his mother he has the passive ability to allure people. Succubus and Incubus are naturally very attractive people, but they also carry magic in their veins to make someone completely fall for them. Nym has a weaker and passive form of this affect, when people look at him they will think highly of his appearance but what they do is still of their choosing. From his father he has the ability to heal himself and others. However his weakened version does not allow him to heal life threatening wounds, amputations, or scars. His self healing is passive but cannot save him from fatal wounds. The more painful the wound the longer it takes to heal. For example he can re-grow parts of his body but that would take days, an ear alone would take three days.
Apparel/Items when captured:
Nothing, he's nude.
How and Where were you captured:
The events that led to his capture start from the moment he was born. His succubus mother had, as always, been seducing men for their lust which in turn transported into power for her. However the seductress eventfully became seduced by a random target and she was not sure why but she desired to have a child with him and so instead of leaving before she risked becoming pregnant she stayed. However because of the male's distant angelic heritage having sexual relations with him caused her to suffer horrid pain before losing her succubus magical powers and so she had to stay on Ossitsova Island for she could no longer teleport (a power that Nye did not receive). Eventfully as Nye got older and his beauty becoming more apparent and the village leader wanted the boy for her own sexual desires. His mother tried to defend Nye by fighting off the leader's men but eventually the numbers over took her and she was killed. Living nine years with this horrid woman caused him to forget trying to escape and continued to live as the woman's concubine until a pirate raid came to the village. The pirates wanted the most precocious possessions of the village leader or they would kill her and burn the village and so the woman said that Nye was the most valuable thing she had and quickly handed him over to the pirates. The pirates took him for they saw profit.
What makes you worth capturing:
Already being use to being a concubine they planned on selling him for a very high price for any man or woman who would wish to have his body (which would be many).
History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any):
Nye has been very quiet just accepting his fate as he has always done, he has only briefly mentioned how he was traded from his former master to here.
Personality shown so far on the ship:
Nye might seem broken to others for he is quite and never tries to break free from the shackles, never smart mouths his captives and tends to cry every once in a while.

Gravewar:

Name: Argo aka The Beastman
Race: Human, Minotaur crossbreed
Age: 31
Birth Place: Born and raised in Rusova in a small field outside of a city in the jungle.
Appearance: As a hybrid he has the features of both races. He has a large, well muscled copper body and stands at a height of 6’5. He has 4-inch long, up-curved horns sticking out of the side of his head. He has many scars from his years of hunting beasts in the wild but his most noted marking is the large scar extending from his jaw to under his left eye. Unlike most of the people on the island he has a full head of dark, amber colored hair that hangs down to his back. He has wild, dark, grey eyes and a strong fuzzy jaw. He wears a brown loin cloth and a sash across his right shoulder. Usually he walks barefoot but when he needs to he wears cloth boots.
Traits/Abilities/Spells: He is an expert hunter and he prides himself on the kill. Because of his Minotaur heritage his strength is above the normal human’s ability. His skin is also thicker and somewhat like leather in texture, giving him more resistance than normal, human skin.
Apparel/Items when captured: Loin cloth, cloth sash, cloth boots, large steel hunting knife,
How and Where were you captured: As a half human, half minotaur hybrid he is very hot headed and strong willed, and over the years he has made enemies of the powerful women of Rusova. His own mother who was ashamed of only her son betrayed him to his enemies. They planned his downfall and hired slavers to capture him. During an exhausting hunt lasting more than a week he was captured by the slavers. The slavers ambushed him and after a fight and a few dead slavers he was knocked unconscious and chained. The slavers transferred him to Amnon city where he was sold and has found himself on the pirate’s ship.
What makes you worth capturing: The pirates captured him for his physical prowess and his Minotaur heritage.
History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any): People know that he is a minotaur hybrid and that he is a hunter from Rusova.
Personality shown so far on the ship: Quiet and reserved. He doesn’t like speaking to the women on the ship and only speaks to the others when they approach him first.

Dock.

dee-oh-see-kay

Name: Kai
Race: Human, Earth Faerie
Age: 19
Birth Place: (believed to be) Gugi Island
Appearance: She's a tiny girl, only 4'11" tall, and, for a hunter, she's still rather small. But you can't let her stature fool you. She has almost twenty years of tracking and hunting experience, as well as muscle built up. Kai isn't exactly peach colored, nor is she tan, but she has a nice, balanced skin tone thanks to the fact that the faerie were underground people, and she grew up on an island of hunters. Her ears are pointed, though not extremely so, due to mixed blood, and she has a few freckles stretching across her nose. Her red hair is strawberry colored in the light, and her emerald green eyes sometimes appear bluish green depending on the light.

She's the girl, of course.http://fc09.deviantart.com/fs23/f/2008/016/a/d/Sun_and_Moon_by_Ugly_baka_girl.jpg

http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs26/f/2008/130/8/7/Sunrise_by_Ugly_baka_girl.jpg
Traits/Abilities/Spells: Kai, like many of the other inhabitants on Gugi Island, is skilled when it comes to hunting and gathering food. Given a spear, knife, or bow, she can be quite deadly. Being an Earth Faerie, Kai's quite in tune with nature. She can sense when another being, whether animal or otherwise, is around, but she doesn't have enough experience to always distinguish the different auras of living creatures. (i.e. If there happened to be a dragon and a human around, she would be able to tell there was a large, powerful creature (the dragon) and and a weaker creature (human) around, but not be able to tell which one was which.)

Being only part faerie, Kai isn't fully knowledgable on her powers. She does know some basic healing abilities that work for any living creature, from animals and plants, to humans and demons. She has the power of regeneration, though it isn't vary strong. If she sustained, say, a shallow knife wound, it would take a few minutes to seal up without leaving any mark, but if she broke a bone, it would take, at the very least, six hours to heal. (That's not to say it'll heal properly. If it dislocates and isn't mended before it begins to heal, it'll just have to be broken again and fixed before the healing process can restart.)

Another thing she knows how to do is mesmerize creatures to a degree. By staring into a person's eyes, she can influence a decision or make them do something for her. It works best on humans and non-magical creatures, and her powers weaken on those stronger than her. (i.e. She may be able to convince a human that she's a seven foot tall man eating troll and make them run away, but if she were to try to tell that to, say, a sorceress or dragon, it wouldn't work. Though she might be able to make them believe she's a small child and calm them down if they wished her ill intentions.) However, due to inexperience, she can't control how much magic she uses, and it often drains her of energy.

Apparel/Items when captured: When she was found, she was wearing a self made, hooded cloak over her usual hunting garb: a pair of handmade shorts that go down to midthigh, and a mini-dress that wraps around her torso. She likes to decorate with beads and ribbons, as well as wear feathers in her hair. (As shown in the picture.) Kai is very good with her hands, and can make just about any type of clothing given the right materials. She doesn't know much about the value of money, and in place of it, kept a stash of crawling critters and dead bugs in a tiny rucksack she kept at her waist.

How and Where were you captured: Kai has been wandering around the world since she was only 15 years of age. Just over two years ago, she had taken a trip all the way from Tijin City (as a stowaway) to Pekatron City, and then Niamkey City, where she was captured.

What makes you worth capturing: Kai's excellent when it comes to tracking and stealth, as well as being hidden. She escaped Gugi Island without a trace, until she'd been captured.

History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any): Kai isn't the most literate person on the ship. But she managed to speak enough so that they understood that "I'm Kai, from Gugi. Hunter. Point ears, see?"

Personality shown so far on the ship: Kai loves living things, especially anything that will interact with her. She's just rather peculiar, and doesn't know how to speak very well. Despite her lack of literacy, she makes up for it with other skills. Most people tend to stay away from her thanks to her unusual greetings of poking and prodding. But she's friendly... sometimes. If there's a word that will never describe Kai, it's mature. She's like a child, and just doesn't know what's what. She doesn't know that it's rude to jump on people's backs when she's bored, or that eating bugs and playing games with the rats on deck is usually frowned upon. In a modern world, she'd be diagnosed as having mental retardation, but the villagers on Gugi Island blamed it on a demon. She was shunned, and that's why she left, but the "demon" has yet to take over Kai, so the other passengers don't know about it, besides from the fact she proclaims when meeting new people: "Careful! Kai cursed with Demon."

Oh!!! That's what I forgot to add in The Rules! You all can and will die if you do something that would naturally end in it. Say... Jumping into a firey pit of steaming hot lava, while attempting to do a back-flip onto a thin rope to get an apple. 9 out of 10 times: you'll die. lol

I'd also like to say to all:

Also, everyone, it's my fault for not telling you all this earlier but the consequences should be the first thing mentioned/acted on when making your next post.

Ex:

Post 1: Bob reach out into the sea.

My Consequence: A shark bites Bob's fingers off.

Post 2: The feeling of something sharp ripping into Bob's flesh causes him to yank his hand out of the water. He turns to the others screaming.

Zhengy Zhengster:

Name: Jangles Lemger
Race: Human
Age: 22
Birth Place: Xian Gu

Appearance: He has a athletic build and can easily stand up to 5'6. His hair is a jet black color and its length is right on the middle of his ear (It's right above the ear loaf.). He has a light blue shade for his eye which always seems to have a mischeivous glint and a smile that seems to be always full of joy. He is from the Northeast part of Xian Gu which means he was pretty white when he left the island of Xian Gu, but all of that changed when he drifted onto Ossitsova. Just about everything else of him is normal and nothing special. He worked out a lot so he has a pretty toned body adding to his already athletic body. His skin tone has darken from sun exposure on the island Ossitsova.

Traits/Abilities/Spells: (Please provide detail on what your spells do/what your abilities are/what your specialty is. What can you do?)

Apparel/Items when captured: Jangles had nothing in his pockets when he was kidnapped. He was wearing a white linen (or cotton whichever works) shirt and black pants.. He also was drinking water since he was thirsty. He was also carrying many fishes with him.


How and Where were you captured: Jangles was walking to his handmade shack from fishing in the ocean for food when a group of pirates jumped him. He was about halfway home when the pirates attacked him. They knocked him out, gagged him, blind folded him, and bagged his head so he couldn't see much. He was captured in his hometown (Not so sure about the name thing yet so yeah.) While he was being carried to the ship he regained conscious and started to struggle very hard. He managed to suprise the guy who was holding him and started to run. He only got so far when they tackled him and tied his hands and arms so the rest was history.


What makes you worth capturing: Aside from tactics, he was carrying a ancient book of power (military wise of course) which contains many secrets people would love to know. The book though was lost long ago in a devastating war, but one day Jangles was looking through the ruins of the war and happened to find the ancient book. When he touched the book something in his stomach tingled as if a relentless power has just been unleashed. When he opened the book he was scared, yet he was invigorated by the books mysteries so he took the book with him on the day he left Xian Gu.

History you decided to share with your fellow captives (if any): Even with his survival skills Jangles was starving and started to hallucinate. At moments he blurts out his past of his hard, but fun childhood memories. As he continues to starve the hallucinations came more frequently and the other captives started to look like old friends of his before he sailed to a new home. The ship he built was a crude and simple boat, but still travel worthy at sea. It took him months to build, but after some help from his friends he manage to get it done. On the day he sailed from the Northeast part of Xian Gu's pennisula he took a book with him so he had something to do on the trip on calm days. As his "old friends" were there he told the story of while he was sailing he saw land at the horizon, but as he looked into the sky he knew a storm was coming. He kept talking about how he tried his best to continue threw the storm, but in the end the storm recked his ship and how when he woke up he was on the land he had seen. After a few days on the land he prayed to his gods for letting him live through the storm. After telling the tale of his travel to the island (Ossitsova Island). Jangles started to he talk about stuff he didn't even tell his real friends that he read just about every moment he can lay his hands on a military tactician book.


Personality shown so far on the ship: He tries to act strong and willing to fight at any moment, but if you look into his eyes he is scared, tired, weak, and lonely.

Caminus:

Just to let everyone know I have updated my character profile to fit some of the things that I have said about him. The main points are as follows:

12 foot wing span from tip to tip. The wings are kept folded closely to the body while in tight places, and in a relaxed position they are one foot away from his body and slightly unfolded. (if I do not address how the wings are positioned you should assume that the wings are being kept out of the way.)

Ability to go into a semi hibernation state. One that allows his head and neck to continue to move freely, but the rest of his body is slowed down. (he only did this the past 2 months, when he was becoming the weakest)

And finally hates random outcropping of rocks, them being his first memory just as he was getting captured.

are we back.... ? I missed you guys ;_;

[bou]

I'm sorry! Life happened!
I'm hoping we're back!

I must rush off to message everyone now.
I was hoping I'd be set with the wonderful Mod bringing the RP back but... I just realized there'd be no way for me to update the character sheets or info on continents and such... I think I should perhaps conclude this chapter of the RP and make up another one. xD

What say you?

And then I realized, quite suddenly, that everyone hasn't re-registered yet. xD Pox! I'll just epically end this chapter and start chapter 2 of this adventure. ;3

[Iwanami Kitsune]

sounds alright to me! It's okay... life definitely happens whether you are ready or not....

So we are basically doing a reset of sorts... everything still happened we are just picking up in the not so distant future.
