I like the sheet, but I'm a bit wary to have you on Dusty. It was only two, three days ago you dropped from Beta-Lab and assured me you wouldn't be up for role play for quite some time. If you've read the rules which I'm sure you have, you should know you have to be dedicated to this RP for at least a month. I'm holding you to it, if you so chose to continue.
If you feel the need to drop me, it's cool, but I feel like I'm in a much better place than I was then. If more shit comes up before the game starts I'll tell you.

I don't want to drop you. I enjoy your characters and your posts. I don't enjoy being left without a character because things happen that may or may not be controllable. I'm putting my faith and trust in you.

Thanks, Fura. Like I said, things start looking downhill again and I'll tell you about it.

[[As I was writing him, I think he'd make a better captain or First Mate]]

NAME: Thomas Marston
AGE: 54
POSITION: THE VALIANT FIRST MATE
TITLE: The Old Sea Dog
COLOR: "I'm in my golden years, and yet I still sail the seas."

APPEARANCE: He's a wise looking feller, his wrinkles and scars covering his chin, cheeks, and left eye seem to tell all about his times out upon the dark waters. His white hair is combed and starting to thin, with his bangs receding more and more. His snow-white mutton chops form into a chin curtain. His left eye is clouded and he's possibly blind in that eye, while his other eye is a deep shade of brown. His physical is still beefy, with large hairy muscles protruding out from the sleeves of his suit.
ARMOR: A stab prove vest under his first mate getup, steel-toed boots

LIKES: "What do I like. Well I like some peace and quiet, naps, reading, the smell of sulfur complimented with the hiss of steam, my kids and their kids, my wife.... and I don't mind a fine lobster dinner with a glass of brandy on the rocks. I also like how fire burns, crackles, and glows."
DISLIKES: "I'm not a big fan of ruffians, I personally think they're trying to pick fights [NOT A FAN OF BRAWLERS/AGGRESIVES]. Not a big fan of scurvy, or large messes[MESSES]. I do not like it when I get blamed... considering my position it might be hard to avoid this[REJECTION/BLAMED]. Who doesn't hate pain[DOESN'T LIKE GETTING HURT]? And I think my wife when she's moody, I KID, I KID[SENSE OF HUMOR?]! Also I'm really-really not a big fan of fools, not the mentally challenged, but idiots who don't think things through[ARROGANT AND/OR IDIOTS]."
FEARS: "What am I afraid of? What kinda question is that? ... Alright if it's apart of the signup I'll tell ya... *sigh* Alright, I'm afraid that one day the drink will take me[THE SEA], I'm afraid that one day I'll come across something I shouldn't have[PARANORMAL]. I'm not a big fan of high places [HEIGHTS], and don't call me a child when I say this... but... I'm am utterly afraid of being alone in the dark. [DARKNESS]"

BACK STORY:((Not really going to fill this out, but I'll put some highlights and some of his starting motivation)) [Graduated from a school] [Got married] [Had 3 Children] [Starts to incur gambling debts] [Become a sailor with some merchant ships] [Becomes addicted to the thrill of exploration] [Joins this crew with hopes for one final adventure]
PURPOSE: "Listen, don't tell my family but... I'm not doing it for the money anymore. I'm doing it because I live for the sea, and the feeling of discovery. [EXPLORATION]"
GREATEST DESIRE: "To finally see the rest of the world, and then collect their trinkets! Before I get too old of course!"
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE...: "My devote loyalty, I'd abandon my family-ties behind if I ever got close enough to achieving that goal, I'd be willing to take enough lives as needed to reach it, I'd give up eating if it was necessary, I'd face my fears and go into the darkest corners of this world we live in. All in the name of seeing the world and its vast riches of discovery and physical treasure before I become one with the sea.

SANITY: ||||||||||
HEALTH: ||||||||||

INVENTORY:
-Pocket watch containing a picture with a much younger version of him and his wife
-A ornate dagger decorated in torn velvet with the blade being adorned in jewels
-An amulet of his family's crest that hangs from his suit coat's breast pocket
-A small pocket book he keeps in the same breast pocket (it tracks the current supplies and contains notes about his previous and current travels)
-Finally he has a rusted old flintlock that he keeps strapped to his side, it doesn't work and if it does it the stars would have to be aligned. He normally just keeps it as a sign of authority or to threaten at would be pickpockets

NAME: "Allan Fraser, at y'service."
AGE: "M' not that old, ser. Turned t'irty three no' bu' a month ago."
POSITION: "I'm 'ere as an engineer, ser."
TITLE: "Back a' th' fac-try, they called me Fixer Fraser."
COLOR: "They gave me a code 'fore I got on 'ere. The man tells me not to ferget it. S' #0a6308. Search me why 's impertant. Spy secrets, mor' n' likely."

APPEARANCE: "Wull, no two ways 'bout it, ser, m' short. Prob'ly 'round five n' a 'aff feet. I got no hair on m' head, shaved it off biffor joinin' the navy. Helps with the swimmin'. Got m'beard, though. It's a short one, fer sure, but it's carryin' my mum's golden color innit. M'eyes are blue, n' squinty. I been workin' on m' fathers farm fer some time, an' its given me plen'ny of strenth in m' arms."
ARMOR: Leather overalls. Cotton long-sleeved shirt. Water proof-ish boots. Short, stout brown cap. Pair of tinted goggles. Cotton bandanna, worn around the neck or mouth.

LIKES: "I love tha smell o' burnin' fuel. The workin' man's cologne. That 'n m'wife. I'd give my world f'her if she asked. I fancy a bit o' dancin', n' berry pie, an' the clear blue sky. S' always a good sign, in my home, when the sky didn't have any clouds innit. Meant that all our friends n' family up n' heaven could see us jus' fine, an' was wacthin' over us."
DISLIKES: "M' pa always taught me t' never love a liar. They ain't fit for speakin' with.  That n' the cold. Winters on m' pa's farm were cold, but they were sooo much colder fer me. N' tickin' noises. Little things, like clocks or mice n' the walls. Drives me nuts listenin' to them fer more than a few minutes."
FEARS: "T' be honest, I'm real afeared of flubbin'. Messin' up 'round these machines makes ya lose a finger, er worse. An', well, I can't seem t' explain it, but since I was a boy, I could never stand bein' out in the open hills with m'self and the sheep. I always felt so lonely. Lost, evun. Big open places still trouble me, even now. N' my biggest fear? Losin' m' wife. She's all the family I got, now. I dun't know what'd happen if I was without 'er."

BACK STORY: A poor shepherd's boy that left to become smart and rich in the city. Things didn't turn out the way he imagined them to, and so he joined this crew to alleviate those problems.
PURPOSE: "Why 'm I here? Moneyh. S' tough, in the city. Ain't enough of it to go 'round. N', well, maybe 'cause things were gettin' a little borin' sittin' in the fac-try, waitin' fer somethin' to break."
GREATEST DESIRE: "I want ta' find the day that I wake up n' know that... That everythin's okay. That I don't got to worry no more. I'll wake up with m' Sarah, in some townhouse where we'd settled down and make a life fer ourselves. A real life. Somethin' worth gettin' up in the mornin' fer."
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE...: "I... I'd give anythin'. My time, my money, m' right hand. Right up to m' life. No sense diein' before ya can enjoy th' good life, yeah?"

SANITY: ||||||||||

  • An old photograph of him and his parents in front of a small farmhouse.
  • A rusted, red tool box that rattles with the tools inside.

Okay, I'm not going to trouble myself with mechanics for combat. I'll think of a simple, realistic bait fair roleplay combat system. It will be much easier than creating all these rules and requirements. Things like skill checks are still in play, however.

NAME: "I'm Jolie Vanblough"
AGE: "I've managed to live for thirty-two years."
POSITION: "The Captain of my own crew."
TITLE: "The Tamest Bitch Of The Waters"
COLOR: "I'm like muddy rain water. That's my color."

APPEARANCE: "I ain't a pretty sight, 'specially with my left eye missing. Don't need that anyways, it was extra weight. So I wear a white eye patch over the empty socket. You would never catch my without my trusty sailin' hat. My hair, black as the waters, is usually tucked up underneath. I've got the body that of a bombshell cannon round, and my wear is strictly crab leather."
ARMOR: "I don't need something to protect me. The Gods are relentless, and if they will my death, so be it."

LIKES: "I love it when the crew co-operates, and I love it when the enemy runs in fear, only to have my sword jabbed through their ribs."
DISLIKES: "Over complication of something simple. Anything can be solved if you beat the shit out of it."
FEARS: "The sea is not to be feared, the only thing I fear is the weakness in myself, and the vulnerability of the people around me."

BACK STORY: (To be developed through narrative. Put things here as YOU discover more about your own character.)
PURPOSE: "To strike the sea with a new fear. The Gods are old, I am new and willing to shoot down anyone in my way."
GREATEST DESIRE: "Become immortal, a god, a legend of fear and terror to never be forgotten. The Black Sea will quiver at the sound of my name, and the sinking of ships will be the harbinger of my ruin."
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE...: "What is there to not give? To become immortal; a god to the people in Sunken Harbors. I will obliterate anyone who challenges me, obliterate any island not wearing my flag, and I will personally throw everyone one by one off of my ship into the burning depths if they were to ever cross me."

INVENTORY: IT'S A MYSTERY.

The most unfortunate happened! I was stuck in town for basically the whole day. However there is still time to write an intro post before it is technically the next day, so we can still start "tomorrow" as in today if I hurry.
