Open RP Character driven plots.
If you stick with the Main crew I’ll be sure to throw a thing or two towards a story If you want, otherwise just have fun with it.

The idea is that we are all on the same ship (for now), a large ship probably the size of a large galleon, crew of 120 NPCs who do the random repair work hunting water gathering random grunts for combat filler aka bitch work. In addition to these grunts are us who will serve as the ships officers (or if you want to be a grunt have fun) [first come first serve if people actualy like join]. The ship goes from port to port looking for jobs/opportunities that are Clean, dirty, and everything in between.

The game is going to run similar to other RPs. Interaction I suspect will be a pretty even split between story on the ship to jobs on land.

You are part of a company, pay alloted per mission as required.

We are not pirates unless someone pays us to be

Currency is gold coinage

there is no central hegemonic government

We are not Pirates

All common races accepted (elf dwarf orc human halfling etc)

I'm a firm believer in racial stereotypes. (no genius orcs no longbow using dwarves)

we are still not pirates

during non mission time rank is very relaxed, during mission time/crisis/attack/problem/if a superior officer tells you to do something you follow chain of command or get flogged (not pirate)

if you have a question feel free to ask.

Chain of command is in the order listed below

Positions are:
Captian: Me
First Mate:
Navigator:
Special Operations Leader (handles jobs that require finesse and sneaky killing)
Operational Leaders (handles regular jobs)

If you can think of a position that is not here that you want post it and ill let ya know.

The world is Two major continents on the north and south of the planet. In-between are archipelago which ranges from the deserts in the south to the tropics of the north. Some islands are larger than others and no one has a comprehensive map of them all.

I know its kind of vague but its supposed to be, You create this world as the story goes. At the moment to start the game off we are in A northern region which is under the "strong influence" of a Wizard School that supposedly often uses the town folk nearby as test subjects. This is a rumor that we heard at the last port a few days sail south and currently looking for A)Someone to pay us to kill them
and B) some kinda indication on what they have to loot when we pillage.
As you enter we are approaching a medium sized human town with a well established port.

Name: Alric Westmoor
Rank: Captain
Age: 30
Weapons:
Rapier (2) not at the same time
Family Longsword (1)
Strong Eyepatch (1) To strangle idiots who call him a pirate with.

Appearance:
Six foot Two, Well built. Black hair that’s cut short at all times. Clean shaven with few scars on chest and arms from blades. Carries himself with authority and diligence. Wears simple clothing and would blend in perfectly at any tavern if not for his nasty habit of arguing with everyone simply to amuse himself while drunk.

When on job he wears the two Rapiers at his left hip and the longsword on his back.

Background: Has been mistaken for an idiot and a pirate (he hates being mistaken as a pirate) . The fact is, he's a mercenary, through and through. He's not as dumb as he acts, but he's not quite intelligent enough to get away with not also being very, very lucky. He may not be the sharpest marble in the deck, but he knows which side of the bed has been buttered. Although he holds (or at least pretends to) some interesting beliefs about some other races. He for instance refuses to admit his Gunnery Sargent needs sleep because he is a gnome and that dwarves can fly but refuse to do so in front of humans. How much of this he actually believes and how much of it is just to amuse himself is anyone's guess.

Best way to think about him:
Can figure his way around the wrong side of a pointy stick before you can say Poke.
and
Pillage first Burn later

Okay, i dig this one, needs a bit more explaining IMO, but a cool idea nonetheless, im in!

Name: Liam
Rank: Special Operations leader
Race. Human
Age: 38
Weapons: -Two tachis -A tanto - 5 throwing daggers
Crew under his command: 18 people, 3 of them are hand-picked assasins, six are spies, and nine are special operatives that can handle a number of low profile tasks.

Appearance:
Six foot four, slender build, but with marked muscles. Jet Black hair of middle lenght, a lot of stubble, has a deep scar across his left cheek, and has another one near the eye, making him have it closed most of the time. Usually uses a long light coat, but underneath it, he uses light, thight clothing, allowing him to move swiftly, he doesnt drink nor does he smoke, even in reunions or celebrations.

He always carries his two tachis with him, as he usually doesnt threat with common people.

Background: Very little is know about liam apart his main function as the Special Ops leader of the ship, in fact, not even his last name is known, there is yet anyone that has dared to ask him, all is known about him before he boarded the ship is that he spent quite some time in an asian like region in the southern continent, working as a contracted killer until he one day crossed paths with the captain in a unknowingly shared bounty.

Liam got very annoyed when learnt this and inmediatedly attacked Alric in front of his men, the captain put a very good fight and impressed Liam, specially because not once did he asked for the help of his men, and fenced quite well, even against foreign weapons like liam´s, during the rest of the mission Liam learned to respect the way Alric did things, and he decided to join his tripulation after this, many speculate that he did this because he saw more chance of killing and having more control on his hunts than in his current state.

He is not a social person, and as such, he is not liked by most of the crew, not that he cares anyway, as he is quite respected by most, and very few dare to cross him, the only know exception so far is the captain himself, which has seemed to have forged somewaht of a passive friendship with the silent assasin.

Best way to think about him:
A Silent, rough figure, serious most of the time, but has a bit of a cold and sarcastic humor, he has no qualms about killing anybody, as long as he is paid for it, tough it almost seems he enjoys more the actuall killing of somebody than the monetary reward itself.

He is an expert assasin and fighter, and tough he likes to go for silent, clean kills, he can easily come to par with the best when fighting with his tachis, he is not the best fighting un-armed tough, as he is not particulary strong but he is faster than most, note that while not a magic user, his visit to foreign lands has granted him some knowledge in magics and enchantments, tough as of now, he posseses none of these.

"BLARG BLARG BLARG IMMUNE I KILLZ UR FACES BLARG BLARG."

Both? I don't think A silent truth is going to generate much interest to be honest. And this is going to be a low maintenance game for anyone who runs it. I just have to give basic outlines and if you guys want you can come up with the ideas for situations and such.

What kind of weapons are your ship equiped with? catapults filled with flaming pitch? balistas with chains and boarding ropes? or is there powder in your gameworld with cannons bristling on every side of the ship? also kind of sounds like firefly taken out of space and put on the high seas with fantasy races and that sounds like a good idea to me.

I never actually watched Firefly, But I guarantee Firefly wasn't the first as there were yanno real people who did this... Some of them even made the history books.

The Ships equipped with say 10 Balista and 3 deck catapults (two aft one bow), but since this is a world of magic there are certain objects which can fire various magical effects. We just don't happen to have any yet. But thanks for bringing that up I had forgotten.

Then i would like to sign up!!

Name: Doogan Lowport (Doog for short)
Rank: Gunnery Sargent (extra title: knower of things that go boom)
Race: Gnome
Sex: Male
Age: 30
Weapons: Spyglass and a balista or cattapult! in close quarters dualwields daggers.
Crew under his comand: the gunners..aprox:50-52 crewmen, 3 to 4 crewmen to a weapon.
Life Expectancy: pretty sure he's only still alive cuz the Gods want to see what crazy thing he'll do next.
Battlecrys: "YOUR ANKLES ARE MINE!!" "FIRE WHEN YOU SEE MY BOLT GO THROUGHT THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES!"

Apperance: Short Humanoid (aprox 4'0") with a muscular if somewhat rotund build. Brown hair kept under a red bandana with a well trimmed mustache and gotee. Hazel eyes that can see oh so very well and a bulbous nose he claims the women adore. Wears brown trousers with a belt, and a red and white striped shirt with a brown leather vest. On the belt hangs various items including his spyglass, his dagger sheaths, pouches and various other odds and ends. Usualy smells of grease (from balista mechanisms) and tar (from the catapult ammo)

Backround: Signed on with the crew when Captin Alric first started looking. Doogan had always wanted to see the world and how better to do that than as part of a ships crew! His knowledge of engineering and magical enhancements keeps the balista and catapults in tip top condition. Doogan loves and has named each of these weapons and is constantly fiddling and upgrading them to improve acuracy and firepower. He is constantly sending requests to the captin for funds to upgrade the magical componants for his weapons of ship destruction. He has had some success with minor magical improvements such as anti corosion wards and farseeing sights. He has almost set himself on fire a number of times experementing with pitch to see what will burn and spread the best. He is also widely recognised as the best shot on the ship. Likes to claim he could take a Seagull out of the sky at 10 shiplengths blindfolded and with enough tinkering he could hit the sun. Captin Alric has given him command of the gunners and nothing is loaded or fired without going through Doogan.

What do you think too much, too little? gimmie some feedback.

good enough for govt. inspection but as soon as we get magic weps your out of luck less you add something in there about being a weapons expert in all fields.

It can pretty much be a wide range of things. There are obviously ordinary items. wood, Masts, Crows nests that have defenses in them , there are enchanted ordinary weapons which are more common, there are orbs and insignias that when properly placed can launch all sorts of attacks from fire balls to time magic the the more powerful the rarer.

Examples:
A common Magic weapon is a Lightning Balista. It shoots lightning. It does alot of hurt to people without damaging the ship itself (much) (unless it starts a fire)

A less common is a crest of displacement which when attached to the hull and given the right command (things like this come with a separate little item used to activate usually a pin or button that can be stuck on clothing)

The rarest weapons are Orbs which contain magical spells in them. Only the most powerful of wizards can create them and they can do some pretty awesome things. The most common of them fire large fireballs that can sink ships the rarest is supposedly one that can simply incinerate every person on board leaving all non living matter in tact. But thats more of an urban legend.

but like I said its OPEN and I want you all to get creative too. Come up with ideas! Run em by me add them randomly Im pretty flexable.
