[center][b]Anyone interested in a pirate RP?[/b][/center] ----- Hello fellow role players, I've been itching for a chance to start a pirate RP. I’ve looked into other RPs fitting the genre, but thought it would be neat if everyone had the opportunity to PM other members while participating. In other words, I want groups that can conspire against each other without a single hint to other RP members. I’m open to having more than one operating crew, but would need VERY active opposing or allying captains. However, it would be nice to stick to one crew at the start if there aren't many people. You may start out as a crew member, or become one along the way. This is in the "Free Roleplay" section because I prefer having the option to post quick dialogue. RPs aren't as fun when you aren't collaborating with members. ----- [hider=What I Want] - Members who can post at least once every two days - Varying personalities - No god modding, however, I'm open to the possibility of supernatural abilities. Plus, it would be fun to have sea monsters, so powers wouldn't seem that odd within reason. - Possible crew positions: [list] [*]Officers: Captain, First Mate, Quarter Master, Boatswain, Sailing Master, navigator[/*] [*]Crew: carpenter, gunner, sail maker/tailor, cook, doctor/surgeon, cabin boy, powder monkey, musician, hunter[/*][/list][/hider] [hider=The World]The World: This RP would take place in a fictional world. I want members to have the freedom to dictate events without being tied down by a plethora of historical facts. That being said, I enjoy lore and history so there will be some. I drew up a map several days ago and would love to use it. ----- [center][b]World Map[/b][/center] [img=http://s8.postimg.org/y4vo9ixc5/mapwords.jpg] Note: Black text = Capitol city Also, I apologize for any misnamed bodies of water. It has been a long time since I studied geography. ----- A little bit of back story: The countries of Lorek and Andrus recently signed a peace treaty after a territorial war. Rosa was allied with Andrus hoping to gain trade benefits from the neighboring country. They had all been in conflict with overseas trade routes. Relations are still unsteady and pirates are capitalizing on the widening international waters to loot goods. - Cultural diversity is important to me. I’m imagining the people of Lorek resembling the English, the people of Andrus resembling west Asian people (Hey, I like traditional Turkish garb), and the people of Rosa resembling Hispanic men and women. - I’d like to discuss any further history or lore with RP members. I think it would be fun for us to come up with stories or cultural facts.

His hair is light brown with blonde highlights. Ninety-eight percent of the time it’s pulled back into a long ponytail or braid. [b]Personality: [/b] From a young age, he was extremely competitive, and tried to be one step ahead of everyone else, be it in life or a game. He is an opportunist, and will look into anything he deems worthwhile. Therefore, he pursues many interests and has a strong opinion about lots of things. He loves to debate with people, which often times can become exasperating for others. Due to his curiosity he’s always interested in hearing what other people have to say, or offer to the table. [b]History: [/b] His father was a Lorek naval captain during the war but moved to Andrus after defecting. [b]Weapons of choice or other necessary equipment:[/b] Shamshir blades and pistols. Note: I didn't give a detailed character back story because I like learning about other people's from reading. The personality and history fields may be as detailed (or empty) as you see fit. [/hider]
