Her new black and red paint shine in the early morning light.

She is awaiting a crew, and her first passengers. While she waits she seems to be pulling at her ropes, begging to depart, for Brest France, and onto Portsmouth England. [hr] [h2] Extra info, Rules, CS[/h2] Good, you sat through that short story. I am a pretty Lax GM, believing that the GM should be a guiding force not the god who tells the story. The story is the players story. But even though I am lax I still have rules, 1. Don't be rude to each other, not even as a joke. I want everyone to feel welcome here, sure your characters can have conflicts, in fact I encourage it, it adds to the realism, but if you have a problem with another player bring it up with me and the person, in PMs. 2. If you need to take a LOA (leave of absence) that's fine, I understand life comes first. But please let us know so we aren't waiting on you. 3. I want well rounded characters, not these shallow talking husks. On to some background info, the early 1900s were the golden age of transatlantic ocean lines. The ships were filled with every luxury available, but were different when compared to the modern cruise ships, these liners were basically big multiday ferries. Okay, "New York to Portsmouth in seven days", I want that phrase to be included in your CS to show that you have read the rules. [h2] Character Sheet [/h2] Name: Age: Role: (Crew, or passenger?
