Well, I enjoy 'Waterworld'-type settings and have been thinking about/looking for one lately, so color me interested. ^_^

I don't want to make any waves or rock the boat (it's okay, you can groan and throw fruit at me), so can I ask if any original races are allowed? No problem if not, just curious.

I have a favorite 'bosun' I like to use for this sort of thing, as well as a ship's doctor I haven't properly used. Both humans. I could also pull out or make some characters from a few other races I have filed away (see question above). If new PCs are preferred, that's fine, too.

I've also got some rough nation ideas, if any are needed. I like the arrangement that's been worked out so far, though.
