Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
I am too...I don't understand why the others haven't gotten back to us. I mean, I'm not asking for the entire character sheet...Where are you guys? Can you keep me posted?
As for those of you who have already worked on a character sheet, feel free to post it into the OOC. Perhaps that will flag the other's attention. Keep your occupations and ship preferences, we will change them if we have to later.
I was trying to wait to give others more of a choice but I don't want to wait much longer. Sorry if the rest of you are feeling rushed, I don't want to move too fast but I also don't want to go days without activity if I can help it.
Update: Buzz got back to me

I am sorry. After factoring school, jobs, writing and other RPs I just can't pull this one off. Sorry.

Aww. That's too bad. =(
Does this still mean we'll have the three ships? It doesn't exactly divide evenly between three any more though it does divide evenly between two.

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
I think we are going to still have three, because I wanted no more than two to three people per ship. One ship will be down to two players, which is fine by me.
I just need to know where Plague wants to go, and we are set. I'll fill in whereever Plague and Mojo don't ^_^

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
I will start making my character after I finish The Road, but as of now, I dont think my character will go on the pirate ship unless he was held prisoner, which is fine, but someone else probably wants the spot. My character will be a sort of private contractor type, so he would fit well with merchants or treasure hunters

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Hm...
So it looks like if Mojave chooses a Treasure Hunter ship, Ryona has free reign to go where she pleases to make the third on any ship. However, if he chooses a merchant ship, Ryona goes to the treasure hunter ship by default. I think we're kind of relying on you to choose something certain, Mojave.

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Mojave and I were waiting to see where Plague wanted to be, as he has not said yet and we want to make sure he gets what he wants if he has a preference. When plague picks, then Mojave will go to whichever ships aren't yet taken.

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Tell me if I am wrong Ryona, but I believe your character fits best on the treasure hunter ship or the pirate ship. Really, unless plague chooses the merchant ship, I think that is where I will end up.

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Here is my character
- Spoiler:
- Name: Grintawh Hierdunstrife
Age: 53
Deity: Erint
Power: Grintawh has control over the direction of the wind. By himself, he can make a slight breeze, but to maximize the strength of his power, powerful winds need be already present. Unless he is creating a small breeze, in which he starts the origin, each time he uses his power, it already has an origin. Because he cannot create his own powerful winds, he must use the origin of the wind as the base. Grintawh cannot choose which ships are affected by the wind, so if another ship is in the path of the wind, the effects will be the same.
Weapons: Quarterstaff, medium sized curved dagger, and a flint lock pistol.
Physical Description: Grintawh is a quite short, standing at about 5’2’’. He has a crooked figure, standing hunched most of the time. Grintawh is very thin, he appears to be very frail, face gaunt, bones sticking out, and limbs long and thin, giving him a starved look.
His skin is a light color, although it shows much wear from many years and is slightly darkened. He has a large crooked nose, two large green eyes, and two large ears that stick to the side of his head. His lips are nearly colorless and they droop, making him appear as if he always frowned. His teeth are yellow and jagged from the many years and the rest of his mouth isn’t any better.
His long matted grey hair flows far down blending in with his grey beard, which goes far down his chest. His hair is slightly curled, but is not kept very well. Grintawh wears simple clothing, generally wearing many layers of cloth pants and shirts. He wears a long brown sash that he keeps his pistol and dagger in. He carries his quarterstaff to walk and carries a small bag on his other arm in which he carries simple supplies such as water and food, and wears his money pouch around his neck. On his feet he has light worn brown boots that go about halfway to his knee.
Personality: Grintawh is a wanderer, so he generally keeps to himself. He is quiet, and although he tends to avoid others, he is quite kind. He takes orders from whomever (As long as he gets his pay) and generally tries to stay out of arguments and fights. He is a very serious person, being always cautious and wary. His long journeys have made him unafraid of most of the things that roam the sea, but he has a distinct hatred for pirates. This hatred does not stop him from working with others however, because over time, he has learned not to be picky.
Biography: Grintawh was born to fisherman Hierdunstrife and his wife many years ago. His father taught him to fish but soon learned the true talent of Grintawh. Out of the many times that his father and he had gone fishing, this was the one that made his father realize what Grintawh could do. A large storm was moving in on Grintawh and his father as they were out fishing one day. The two would have died, but Grintawh opened the sails, and the wind began moving them quickly towards the shore. Grintawh’s father began testing this “magic” and soon realized that Grintawh could change the direction of the wind. As a child, Grintawh thought this was a change for the better.
Grintawh’s father began taking Grintawh to the local ports, and basically selling him on the promise of a quick journey. Grintawh spent more and more days aboard ships, simply sitting and waiting for the journey to finish, changing the wind as the captain asked. Half the time he would come back bloody and bruised, for others saw him as useless on the ship. When this did happen, his father would simply ignore it, and would send him back on another ship. His health became very poor and he got very near dying until he learned of the one of the flaws of his power.
On one journey he was sent on, there was no wind. There was only a slight breeze that simply cooled the ship. The merchant owning the ship promised his supplies, two weeks early, due to Grintawh being on the ship. When the ship returned, the merchant sent men after his father, and Grintawh never saw his father again. He ran away from his home, leaving his mother to fend for herself, and began his new life as a wanderer.
He then divided his time on land and sea, still making enough profits to survive while also not risking his health. Throughout his wandering life, he has worked for many different groups, treasure hunters, merchants, the royal navy, and even pirates, whom he despises. Grintawh continues in the way he always has, going from land to sea day to day. He has now been contracted to go on a ship in search of the lost royal navy ship, which is farther than even he has ever been.
Occupation: Private Contractor
Ship:

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
I'm thinking it is going to end up Artorius, Buzz and Mojo on the Merchant ship, Undisputed, Kathryn and Plague on the pirate ship, and Hello Danger and I as the treasure hunters. But that's just a guess

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Ryona, how did I forget about Plague? Blah... /fail
Mojave, I think your character looks good personally. I like his power. I have a question, though... Since when has 5'2" been medium height for a man? I consider that to be quite short.
Other than that, can I commend you on one particular grammatical achievement? "He takes orders from whomever..." Too few people realize that if the word "who" comes after a preposition that it needs to be "whom."
All in all, I'm excited for this! ^^_^^

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
I'll be a pirate, methinks, since I'm drawing a blank on anything else. Wedding sapped up my time today, along with a 5:00 a.m. opening shift, so sorry for the absence of responses.
I'll try and tinker up a character here soon.

Awesome! All that is left to do is...make the ships! Haha. Now, how we should go about this I am not sure. Work together through PMs and stuff? Or just elect one person to do it? Just to be clear,
Artorious, Buzzwulf, and Mojave shall be working on the Merchant Ship;
Undisputed, Kathryn, and Plague on the pirate ship;
Hello Danger and I on a disguised treasure hunting ship.

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Sweet! I'm excited! I'll do a bit of research and PM Plague and Undisputed about potential ship ideas and whatnot. This will be fun. ^^_^^
Mojave, no worries. I do things like that all the time. In fact, I will frequently begin to write a sentence, decide to reword it midway, and forget to delete part of what I originally wrote, so it just reads very strangely. Compared to that, your minor mistake was nothing. Plus, you made my day by using "whomever" correctly. ^^_^^

Awesome. I'll PM HD about our ship. Artorius and Mojave, I know buzzwulf is very limited on time, so you guys may want to go into planning stage on your own, and then send him what you come up with for him to review. That will make it easier on the poor guy, who is currently without internet (*gasp* the horror! I cannot bear to think of it!)

How is the pirate ship coming? I've got a good idea for the treasure hunting ship, just waiting for hello danger to okay it. Mojo told me he's working on the base idea for the merchant ship.

Well, we're still debating on a name, and Plague hasn't given us his input, but Undisputed and I like the idea of having a Xebec ship for the pirates. =3

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Well, different ships are suited for different purposes. As pirates, we have the need for speed because we need to be able to both overtake other ships and flee if the need arises. Undisputed made a good point when he said that a xebec would have enough of a crew that if we had to fight, we could, but we can get out of dodge really fast if we can't fight. Plus, it's fine that we'll have a bit more limited ship-weapons because of his character's ability.

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
I think it's an awesome choice; it was one I looked at myself, but I was wanting something smaller for the treasure hunting purpose. I liked the idea of the Junk ship; it's not a fighting ship by any means, but they aren't really a fighting type of people. Plus it is going to be disguised as a merchant ship. I don't know if HD likes the idea, but I do

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Update! It has been agreed upon by Plague, Kathryn and I that it will be a Xebec ship by the name of Fasar's Hoard. Considering how all our characters have a friendly/energetic side to them, I think that particular deity is fitting!
Quick question though, Ryona. I was looking over the map and the basic storyline again, and was wondering if you were going to place each ship in a specific spot to get started at. At one of the cities, or maybe just jump right into it and have us at the edge of the Great Break heading into it.

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Thanks for being on top of it. I was wondering though, if you could include some additional information, such as the size of the crew, what weapons are on board (apart from the weapons your characters hold), and if there is any major cargo (don't worry about food/rum, just if you have any stolen property, people held for ransom, etc. etc).
Where you start is up to you. Are you all together already, or do you want to role play meeting up? You may also want to make an NPC Captain if none of your characters are it. I wouldn't put you right at the break, but other than that you can start where ever you see fit to.
And, to conclude, I'm going to go run away to the beach, commandeer a ship, and live a life of piracy (ok, not the latter two, but still...) so any more questions I'll answer tomorrow night!

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
That's a good idea. I'll begin researching soon - I am in dire need of a shower and a shave right now ((TMI? I hope so! XD )), so I'll get to it after that... or maybe I'll get to it tomorrow since I still have a lot of job hunting and house chores and such to do... ._.
I'm sure together, Undisputed, Plague, and I will be able to get all of the information we need.
Well, Plague is going to be our captain. He's probably working on his character now that we have things situated - or he will soon-ish.
I know Ramya has been on the ship for about a year and a half, and if Plague's character is the captain, he's probably been on the ship even longer. It's up to Undisputed whether he wants to be new to the ship or a veteran of Fasar's Hoard's piracy.

But yeah, I still don't have internet, so you guys go a head and come up with something for the ship. I'm sure that it's better than whatever i would come up with anyway

Re: Sea-faring Adventure Int Check
Thanks, Kathryn & Co.
I never heard back from Hello Danger as to whether he liked my idea or not...Waiting on his OK before I do the specs. HD, you there?
After the last two sheets are up and we all get our ships situated, we can begin, so yea. Lets do it!
Edit: Kathryn, whether the information is too much or not, that sounds lovely and I look forward to morning when I can do the same
