Welcome to the world of Ossvien, a world that is vastly covered in ocean with only three major continents yet many small grouping of islands. This world is very much fantasy driven with many unique races and magic. Technology is equivalent to that of the Golden Age of Piracy and yet the world is thriving. There are large port towns and trade happening daily as sailing the oceans is one of the most popular jobs. With this, however, comes pirates. In this world, pirates even have their own community, living on two islands that are set between the three continents. They elect a Pirate King or Queen and although they don’t have a stable government, they do have a loosely based code they live by.

The continents have their own ruling powers as well along with militaries and naval fleets. Pirates are a great nuisance, however when you have a large continent to rule you may often overlook the acts of piracy. Especially when you may have some political unrest within your borders that seems to take up most of your time. There are many people who seem to be well off, yet there are also those poor and getting no help from the richer folk. So often they have to turn to other means to survive. That often involves joining a pirate crew or selling your child off to a merchant ship.

Our story starts with the disappearance of the merchant ship, the Arcadian. This ship has gone missing on its journey from the coast of Linfort to the continent of Glasston. Rumor has it that it was carrying a vast majority of riches along with the bride and future queen of the Glasstonian empires heir. The seas are a dangerous place, being plagued with many pirate ships looking to rob any unfortunate merchant ship that they come across. It isn’t often, however, that the pirates will actually sink a merchant ship and often times that ship will end up at its destination at one point or another.

When the Arcadian never showed up in Glasston people began to worry about what had happened to them. Had pirates actually disposed of the ship and was everything lost? Or had something far more foul happened to the ship? They did have to sail past the Shadowmount Isles, a place many ships tried to avoid, even pirates. There was something dark about these islands, something that many who’d survived the journey through them say they fear. They explain it as a dark, ominous energy coming off of them. Some have even been rumored to be driven mad from it. It isn’t uncommon for ships to go missing around their either.

Soon the disappearance of the Arcadian had become known to the world and many began to seek out what happened to it. Pirates wished to find the ship for the treasures it was rumored to carry while the Glasstonian’s sent out a naval ship in hopes of recovering the lost riches and hopefully the future queen. Only the bravest are willing to sail into the Shadowmount Isles, or perhaps it’s the stupid.

We will follow the pirate ship, Mermaid’s Fortune, and the Glasstonian naval ship, The Avalon Avenger, as they both set off to search for the Arcadian. You can choose to be on either ship and any race. The pirates are hoping to find the ship for a big fat payday while the naval ship is looking to recover what was lost to their empire. They will all be sailing towards the Shadowmount Isles and there's a high chance they may come across each other among other dangers.

These elves tend to have skin of dark obsidian, charcoal, white, or soft greyish blue colors. Their hair color tends to contrast that of their skin. Their eyes can be any color, however they are built more for seeing in the dark and thus have a slight sensitivity to bright lights.[/hider]

[hider=Wood Elves][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a6/e4/97/a6e4975d5bf40640b43fdbe08dfcb397.jpg[/img]

[hider=Moon Elves][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cf/80/52/cf805242fd5311ab1abe13b83fe9d468.jpg[/img]

These elves tend to have very pale skin and hair of any color though silver, white, blues, and blacks are very common. They are very similar to Sun Elves and tend to have a very haughty attitude, though not as much as their Sun Elf brethren. These elves tend to not need to sleep, but instead need to meditate for four hours each day as rest.[/hider]

[hider=Sun Elves][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/b9/be/a6/b9bea6d3b28e66516f56e572d74dc243.jpg[/img]

These elves tend to have very bronze colored skin along with darker, tanned skin. Their hair can be any shade including pinks, greens, purples, etc. They tend to be very haughty, thinking that they are better than most of those around them. They have an affinity for minor light magic.[/hider]

[hider=Humans][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cc/9e/fd/cc9efd5ae1634060ab9e3b1ad2b54f91.jpg[/img]

Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious out of all the races. There is no such thing as a typical human as they can come in a wide range of appearances. Tall or short, fat or skinny, muscular or thin, a human can be any of these things. They have a tendency to be able to pick up skills a lot faster than most other races. Each human also has a minor magical ability.

[hider=Dwarves][img]https://i.pinimg.com/474x/42/22/0c/42220c2bcf74ecf32f76ab4eb798258c.jpg[/img]

Dwarves are short, stout people that tend to stand between 4-5 feet tall. They have similar skin tones and hair colors to humans. Male dwarves often value their beards and keep them well groomed and adorned. They are crafty beings and are well known for crafting the best weapons and armor out there. They’re also really good at improvising and crafting something quickly in a pinch. They also tend to be a bit tougher than your average human or elf which is a plus, however, because of their short and stout features they tend to be a bit slower as well.

Lifespan: 300-500 Years[/hider]

[hider=Merfolk][img]http://pm1.narvii.com/6792/66734250ce445acb81423ad523373b26e951eab0v2_00.jpg[/img]

Merfolk are similar to their sister race, the Demi-Humans, but the do have some differences. There are two types of merfolk, one that considers themselves the pure and original merfolk and the other that call themselves sirens that tend to be a bit darker. Merfolk are predominantly female, however there surely are males they just are a bit more rare. Their skin colors range from normal tones to deep obsidians, blues, greens, and alabaster colors. Their hair colors tend to be bright and unusual to most races, however there are the ones with your typical reds, browns, and blondes. All merfolk are able to transform and have legs for three days at a time then they have to spend a day in the water otherwise the start to die.

Subraces: Merfolk and Sirens

[hider=Merfolk][img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/3245ccee8c91846a4f2eeb348a0e98c2/dceec1d5d77b37d9-41/s400x600/365e9a75bdb3ee93816dced5d72bfecc4f82337b.jpg[/img]

These are the ones that tend to be friendlier towards the other races, enjoying helping them out. They often have skin tones in the normal range of colors or softer blues and greens. Their hair is often brightly colored as well along with their tails. They also have a healing song they can sing, however, if they use it too often it will kill them.[/hider]

[hider=Siren][img]https://imageproxy.ifcdn.com/crop:x-20,resize:320x,crop:x800,quality:90x75/images/3a90d14f51764f99de69c015c026b67e64e8f98a820b93a660b7025a77a8bf80_1.jpg[/img]

These Merfolk tend to live in the deeper parts of the ocean or on the dangerous side of islands. Their skin tends to be either dark obsidian or very pale while their hair is darker as well, though they can still be blues, greens, purples, etc. They have an alluring song that tends to draw people to them and charm them for a short time, however, just like the healing song overuse can kill them.[/hider]

Lifespan: 250-300 Years[/hider]

[hider=Demi-Humans][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/51/1f/01/511f0150d778b7527a3ee75d7f131383.jpg[/img]

These creatures appear to be half human and half animal, though they are a race completely of their own. Some look closer to humans while others look closer to their beastkin, though all tend to stand on two legs and are similar in height to humans. They tend to have more agility than a human does and they have the ability to enhance their animal features. Almost all of them have a good sense of smell, eyesight, and hearing. However each will also have an ability that is unique to their animal side. So say their animal side is a tiger, they may have retractable claws.

Lifespan: 100-150 Years[/hider]

[hider=Gnomes][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f4/1d/51/f41d51ea2b34c62d3292b78745f19d10.jpg[/img]

Gnomes are a very energetic and enthusiastic race that loves to live. They tend to stand between 3-4 feet tall and they are incredibly lightweight. They tend to have very pointy ears, much like an elf. Their skin colors range from tan to pale, however lighter skin tones seem to be more common. Hair color also tends to be on the lighter side, but that’s not to say there are darker colors. They are nimble creatures, though not very quick. They are, however, quicker than Dwarves. They also have a natural luck ability, however, too much use of this ability will cause bad luck to start befalling them and this could potentially lead to death.

Lifespan: 300-500 Years[/hider]

[hider=Halflings][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4e/ea/9e/4eea9e22d49c4ae41f177288d6eaf35c.jpg[/img]

They tend to be a very peaceful, quiet race that stick close to each other. They stand around 3-4 feet tall, much like a gnome, however, they tend to be a bit more stout than a gnome and don’t have pointy ears. Their skin tones match those of humans and so do their hair colors. They are a very sturdy race and naturally have a resistance to most things that would harm them. This obviously doesn’t mean they are invincible at all. They also aren’t as adept at wielding magic items, having a hard time getting a grasp on magic.

Lifespan: 200-300 Years[/hider]

[hider=Witches][img]https://i.pinimg.com/345x/fe/f4/79/fef479844f0baf67c94f4925837c2272.jpg[/img]

Witches are born looking very similar to humans, however they are born with a natural affinity to use magic. They have spells passed down through generations, however, all these spells take time and ingredients to cast. They are most known for their potions and magical items that they enchant.

Lifespan:100-200 Years[/hider]

[hider=Djinn][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f5/42/63/f54263ad079c8fa17045771672c1869b.jpg[/img]

These are creatures that have an affinity towards the elements, being born of one element. They are similar in height and structure to humans, however, they have very pointed ears and skin that matches their element. Their hair also tends to reflect what element they have an affinity for. They all have very minor elemental magic along with a resistance to that element.

Subraces: Air Djinn, Water Djinn, Earth Djinn, and Fire Djinn

[hider=Air Djinn][img]https://i.pinimg.com/345x/fc/5b/f8/fc5bf8bdacd39e5289f35cb12ca5903a.jpg[/img]

This Djinn typically have light blue or white skin and hair. They seem to be light on their feet and often have the ability to levitate. They also don’t technically need to breath so they can hold their breath indefinitely.[/hider]

[hider=Water Djinn][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9c/b5/73/9cb573d18407b4712d5d534a1650074e.jpg[/img]

These Djinn tend to have either blue or green skin and hair that is a dark blue-black or deep green. Sometimes they can have a brighter blue hair as well, but it isn’t as common. They tend to be incredible swimmers and can also breathe underwater. They can control a small amount of water at a time as well.[/hider]

[hider=Earth Djinn][img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/d1e0bc2a03312f7645766be7785f43c2/tumblr_p0rea286Kl1urkl64o1_400.jpg[/img]

These Djinn are the most diverse in skin tone, having tones that range from the browns of the earth to the green of the grass as well as gemstone colors. Their hair reflects the same. Because of their earth magic they tend to have a thicker skin that protects them. They can also mold small amounts of earth.[/hider]

[hider=Fire Djinn][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e9/38/66/e93866a9a8b3f01a9e0c98af224b296a.jpg[/img]

They have either fiery red, coal black, or even ash grey skin and hair. Because their element creates light they can see in darkness rather well. They are also able to produce a small amount of flame and use it to protect themselves.[/hider]

Lifespan: 800-1000 Years[/hider]

[hider=Half Breeds]
 Half-Breeds are just what they sound like, the children of two different races. They tend to look like a mix between both races, however they only gain the abilities of one parent. So if a Witch and a Djinn were to have a child they would either get the spell casting ability from their Witch parent or some of the elemental magic from their Djinn parent. They do not get both abilities. They can also only have children with either another half-breed with similar parentage or one of the two races they are made up with. This doesn’t stop them from falling in love with other races, however. They also aren’t as accepted as the other races with many looking down on them and viewing them as lesser.

The only half breed races that don't work quite the same is when one parent is a Demi-Human. They never get the abilities of their Demi-Human parents, but instead can have cosmetic aspects of their parents. For example, perhaps their parent has wings, they may also have wings but they are incapable of using them to fly.

Lifespan: 80-500 Years (depending on their parentage)[/hider]
