Bump

Last Ship [Accepting]

Yeah, Neil is there already

Last Ship [Accepting]

@Piddle i meant to anyone else reading it. everyone is always looking for a reason to be offended nowadays.

@Infamous Empath

Can't help but feel that depends a lot on what parts of the internet you frequent, if I'm honest; I hear many people say it, but so far I've yet to encounter many people that are that easily offended.

Last Ship [Accepting]

<Snipped quote by Piddle>

Neither D'ren nor the Tommy-rip-off answers to anyone so...good luck with that.

Yeah no, Tommy Shelby is the first canon character I've ever watched on screen that I can very much relate to, wish I was like in real life, but would NEVER touch his character, or any of the other most well-developed, multi-faceted characters in the history or television, certainly Netflix.

The RP would be like a small rival gang just outside of Birmingham that cannot quite compete with the Shelbys, Solomons, or wops (get offended, i dont care XD)

@Infamous Empath

Good luck to you more like; wether they get along with the other leader-type drug-smugglers or not certainly ain't Neil's problem. The less everyone can get along and function as a team, the higher his chances of doing what he wants to.

Yeah, the characters simply are too well-written; I think I'd fuck up every single one of them :')

Ah that sounds cool.
(the fuck should I be offended about? sorry gonna have to dissapoint you there)

Last Ship [Accepting]

I'd say it's a good idea to discuss the hierarchy of the smugglers. It'd make more sense IC if everyone knows who they answer to, I think.
Neil can definitely not be trusted with any form of leadership; he'll just use it to further his own agenda.

@Infamous Empath
Ah that's a shame. I personally wouldn't join a Peaky Blinders RP that uses the canon characters, in all honesty, but I'd definitely be game for one that basically uses the 'universe' so to speak.

Last Ship [Accepting]

A remake of an old-fashioned tallship could also be cool; I know a few that offer 'internships' of sorts. Basically; as a tourist you pay to sail along, and you can also become part of the crew and learn how to sail a ship like that.
That would allow for a more traditional type of deckhand as well.
Though the downside of that would be that a 'cruise' of that kind doesn't fit everyone, so a regular cruiseship makes it easier for other people to join in, I think

Last Ship [Accepting]

Thomas Shelby <33
Fucking love that show

Last Ship [Accepting]

Name: Neil Vanderzee
Nickname: //
Age: 26
Personality: Pretty selfish and one hell of a survivor. Sometimes people do get under his skin, but you're actually far better off not being someone he cares about. Bad things tend to eventually happen to those.
He's got a sharp wit and enjoys a bit of sarcastic banter.
Backstory: Started out just running drugs as a way to make some quick and easy cash, but got caught in the net of one of the big dogs. Now that guy practically owns him and this is life now. Neil wants out, however, and is willing to do nearly anything for that to happen.
Additional Information: If you do want to read more about him instead of letting the rp reveal it, you can always check my character thread.
He's with the drug lads


Name: Johnny O'Marten
Nickname: Johnnyboy
Age: 22
Personality: Idealistic, upbeat, a tad rebellious, very social and with a positive mindset. Johnny tends to oversimplify things sometimes, resulting in him coming up with solutions that might lack complexity. The flipside of this is that he is good at making split-second decisions, where overthinking it isn't an option.
Backstory: A young and gifted tattoo artist from London, Johnny was simply on the ship to be on holiday for once and not take work everwhere he went. Which didn't work as planned, as he was still sketching daily on that boat, as to not get rusty.
Additional Information: Again; his sheet in my char thread can be read for those that wish to know more about him.
He's a passenger

Sprokkel's characters

Adrian Brunfaire, a gentle mage

Information

Name: Adrian Brunfaire
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Hair: Messy, half long and red-ish. Also has a short beard.
Eyes: Light grey
Height: 5’8
Build: Slender, yet somewhat athletic. He has a few scars.
Dress style: Simple traveling clothes. Often wears a hood.

Powers: Healing magic and conjuration magic.

Personality:

• Curious
  Adrian is fascinated by all things magic. Spells, amulets, summons, rituals, ancient sites; anything that has to do with the magical is fair game. He wants to understand and he wants to learn. This curiosity is what often gets him into trouble. Since he is not a fighter, going into caves or ruins to investigate interesting sightings, is absolutely not without risk. He knows this, but the need to see such wonders with his own eyes is too strong.
• Timid
  He doesn’t like confrontation a lot. When pushed too far he will defend himself, but overall Adrian is an extremely pacifistic young man who much prefers harmony over conflict. This does mean he can be a bit of a doormat and that he is likely to ignore insults others would not have taken.
  He’s also somewhat insecure. His culture’s beliefs do not rhyme with his talents and fascinations at all and having been an outcast for a fair part of his life has left it’s prints on Adrian.
  It takes quite a bit for Adrian to stand his ground, but when the stakes are high enough, he will.
• Introverted
  Adrian doesn’t mind being on his own. He doesn’t mind being around people either, but from time to time he needs some time alone. He’s no fan of crowds, prefers to really think things over before he speaks and is a good listener.
  He is generally easily overruled by people much more assertive than he is.
• Social
  Despite his somewhat shut-in personality, he is absolutely not anti-social. When among likeminded people he can talk about magic for hours on end and he is a pleasant person to study together with.
  He’s pretty good at comforting people and doesn’t mind listening to people’s problems, no matter how trivial.
  He’s just not one to go to the tavern with, but he doesn’t mind. He’s the happiest when he can be around other magic nerds.
• Driven
  His harmony-oriented attitude might cause people to mistake him for someone who isn’t really ambitious, but Adrian is in fact very focussed on his studies. Free time is spent hitting the books, practicing spells or discovering things.
• Patient
  It takes a lot to get him mad.
  
  His core values would be understanding, harmony and learning.

Strengths:

• Learns quickly
• Works hard
• Good at comforting people

Weaknesses:

• A bit of a doormat
• Trust issues
• Easily overruled by those a lot more assertive

Likes:

• Learning new things
• Exploring
• Talking about magic with people

Dislikes:

• Feeling like he needs to hide what he is
• Overly dominant personalities
• Fighting

Fears:

• Crowds
• Getting caught by those that persecute him

Background:
Adrian was born in a small village in Skyrim. His fathers work as a craftsman had led them here and while they had all they needed to live comfortably, the taboo on magic did weigh quite heavily on the young family, especially after their child was born.
They lived in a medium sized house and from a young age Adrian was taught that the magic he had so much talent for had to be hidden. It was something neither one of his parents was happy with, but the chances of both his parents getting work somewhere else that could support them this well were too small for them to want to risk moving again.
So both parents taught Adrian what they knew in secret. They taught him how to control his skills, but how to use them as well. They wanted him to be capable, without Nords treating him like less than what he was.
On the outside, his parents kept up a brilliant facade of normal people, so while people probably did suspect a thing or two, they gave them the benefit of the doubt.
While Adrian’s childhood was without major incidents, it did instill a need in him to be secretive and very, very cautious. He grew up a rather lonely child, with quite a few trust issues.

Things initially seemed to be looking up when he left for Winterhold, with money that was slowly saved up for him, as his parents wanted to give him the chance to follow his own path, something both of them valued highly. He couldn’t make the trip all at once at stayed in Whiterun for a while
He moved successfully, made quite a few friends among artists, even though he himself wasn’t one, started studying under a alchemist, who taught him the basics of reading, writing, alchemy and maths and even met another mage with whom he could talk for hours on end, well into the night. With that guy he could be himself and it was liberating for the teenage Adrian.
In the city no one really knew what he was, aside from the few people he trusted, despite the fact that he could probably be himself more freely here; the way his parents had raised him had instilled a very secretive attitude in him.
But the peaceful life he had here got disturbed one night, when robbers followed him into an alley. The magic he used wasn’t even on purpose, but the damage was already done. It wasn’t anything dangerous and it didn’t even save him. But they definitely took exception to it and happened to not be too keen on magic anyway. It was too dark for them to identify him, but that night Adrian got the crap beaten out of him so hard that even with his own healing skills, it took some time to recover and Adrian had a hard time coming to terms with the brutality of which he’d been on the receiving end.
He never told his mentor what really happened. Why it happened. He felt bad about it, but it was not easy to talk about.

Over the years he slowly but surely got involved with a group of ambitious mages and it was with them he finally left the city, in order to really start studying magic, for they went to Winterhold, where the College was.
The road was long and very, very dangerous. While most of the mages were peaceful and pacifistic, like Adrian himself, a few of them were less honest and trying to stay ahead of a growing reputation, and more than once they’d have to bundle their powers to get out of a situation unscathed.
It was also a trip during which money quickly ran out, forcing them to take on every job they could get along the way, often going for days with little food and water.
It hardened Adrian, but also really sparked his desire to travel more than this, once he was better prepared for it, and to see the world.
They reached Winterhold and although there had been some nasty injuries along the way, they all made it through alive. They joined the College and Adrian, by now in his early twenties, could finally study the thing that fascinated him the most to his heart’s content. In the following years he’d go out on expeditions, take lots of notes, read every book he could lay his hands on and practiced all sorts of spells.

Currently, at age 26, that is what he is still doing. He has grown in the five years he spent in Winterhold. The past is still a prominent thing is his life, but he has people around him that are like him, and his skills are valued here.

Skills:

• Healing magic
• Conjuration magic
• A small bit of destruction magic, underdeveloped
• Alchemy
• Rock climbing

Extra:

• He has a mount, a tamed horse, from the Whiterun planes. He ride the animal without saddle and with a bridle made of simple rope
