It is huge and white, similar looking to a semi-futuristic looking cruise ship, that has seen better days, as it has been patched and re-patched with mismatch metal, and rusty barnacle crusted panels. The whole upper deck of the ship is set up as a huge garden, where they grow onions, potatoes, carrots, green beans, garlic, beets, squash, radishes, chili peppers, strawberries, lemons, oranges, and an array of herbs. They even have a large chicken coop area. The ship has 23 deck levels. It is home to the greatest library and historical archive on the ocean. The Ship tends to sail around the cities and sea looking for papers, books, scrolls, and old artifacts from before the the big flood. The Scholars, as people called them, live on the ship, spending their lives learning all they can, restoring old books, and recording the histories, data, information, and new stories they came across. They have a dedicated archive just for the Drevni cities information. The Scholars have a high council who operate and run the ship. Every five years the ship holds a ship wide vote, to pick who makes up the next high council. Besides that one is not officially considered a Scholar, until they spent ten years on bored the Musaeam in hard study, and their official mentor and the high counsel deem them ready for the title, otherwise they are referred to as an apprentice, or just teacher. Scholars do train people in becoming teachers, to spread the knowledge. The Musaeum is run more like temple/academy then a ship. People can seek passage on the ship for a fee, but otherwise unless invited by a Scholar you cannot live on the ship. Most of the official teachers in the cities are usually from the Musaeum, or have been trained on it. ------------------------- [b]The High Council [/b] [color=fff79a]- Jillian Topeka[/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/gFdICtx.png?1[/img] She is in her late 60s.

But since the great flood this ship has specialized in all things fabric. They have sheep everywhere on the ship deck. The citizens are very skilled in keeping them healthy and sheared. They are also master dyers, knitters, and weavers. Besides the sheep, they also breed rabbits for meat and fur, and grow hemp, flax, and jute. It is custom that people who live on the Mammoth grow out their hair to later cut and weave into fabric. Over the last decade the Mammoth ship, has integrated into becoming a ship community, as it has finally allowed outsiders to join them and interlock to the main Mammoth ship. Though to officially hitch your own boat to the Mammoth, one must prove their skill in some part of the process of creating textiles, or growing fiber crops. Many people have been able to bypass providing a talent, as long as the promise their own ship's decks as area for more cloth crops, or sheep grazing. The population of The Mammoth and its interlocked community is around 5000. ----- Captain [b]Tron Pescado[/b] - He is the leader of the Mammoth ship community. [img]https://i.imgur.com/aBjNGDI.png[/img] He has been captain for 37 years. He is 75 years old. ----- WIP [/hider] [hider=YeeZui] This ship was created in what was left of China and Russia before the big flood. It was meant to safe guard the people deemed necessary for the future of humanity. So the initial crew of this vast ship was mainly rich people who helped pay to get it built in the first place, and then people such as doctors, scientist, engineers, and their families were brought on. The YeeZui evolved overtime to become the largest medical ship on the seas. Whereas all forms of advance medicine have basically been forgotten to the rest of the world, it is still semi-practiced and studied on this ship, at least to the best of the crews’ abilities with what tools and herbs they have to use. The ship holds about 2000 people, but there are only about 900 people aboard at a time. They are known to take in orphans every once in a while to train into new doctors. Because the YeeZui has extra space, they use it for taking on travelers, and passengers. For a fee of course. ------ [b]Captain [/b]- Chae Liao [img]https://i.imgur.com/YsPz7Iq.png?1[/img] She was born and raised on the YeeZui. Though her biological father is unknown, as he was just a passenger at the time of her conception. Her mother only knew his name was Tio, and he got off when they docked in Denalika. Chae is 47 years old, and has been captain for two years, since taking over for her uncle. ----- WIP[/hider] [hider=Earmale] This is the mail and messenger ship of the high seas. It is one of the fastest ships on the ocean, and is the largest [i]passenger[/i] ship available for travel between Drevni cities. It sticks to a set route, going from one Drevni city to the next. Smaller boats are sent to the Insulo and Anchor cities for collection of messages and goods to be brought back to the ship. Due to the scarcity of paper and the like, messages are instead memorized by an Earmale Messenger and verbally delivered to the recipient. People who are born and raised on the Earmale ship are trained in how to memorizes verbal messages from a very young age. Though some people just don't make the cut, and they instead end up working as more of a crew member, keeping the ship going, and such. But being an Earmale Messenger is considered a position of great respect and importance. People who prove there memorization abilities usually can always find a job on the Earmale. The ship was originally created before the great flood, as a passenger ship for survivors. It holds about 3000 people on its own, but it also has a fleet of smaller boats sailing with it. ------ [b]Captain [/b]- Isabis Kitagawa [img]https://i.imgur.com/0sbnUkA.png?1[/img] She has been the captain for 20 years. She is in her 60s. Her family has been a part of the Earmale ship since the beginning, and ta member of the Kitagawa family has held the captain position for the last 100 years. Before she became captain she was a Earmale messenger, and thus is very good at memorizing and remembering. [/hider] [hider=Jackal] This ship is known for its skills in metal-smithing, and deep diving for scrap metal. They are a one stop shop for all things metal, and the place to go for boat/ship repairs. The Jackal has been a ship community for over 50 years, and usually have the best stuffed scavenged from the bottom of the ocean. As the ship was originally built to hold diving machines, and submarine like tech its become the place to be for builders, and craftsmen dedicated to electric technologies, and metal. The Jackal ship holds about 1000 people on its own, but the ship community surrounding it boast a population of around 6000 people. People can join and leave this community as they wish, there are no prerequisites or proof of talents needed to join. But to actually live/aboard the Jackal ship itself, one must be a master of their craft, or training under said master by invite only. Rather then the captain being the leader of the ship, there is a council of guild leaders that make the main decisions typically by majority votes. The captains vote is only used in the instance to brake a tie. ------------------------------- - [b]Captain [/b]- Sandor Kuznetsov [img]https://i.imgur.com/xJOgQtU.png?1[/img] ----- [b]Felicia Dean[/b] - Scavengers & Divers Guild Representative [img]https://i.imgur.com/JTSubkG.png?1[/img] ----- [b]Cesaro Lumbo[/b] - Electric Guild Representative [img]https://i.imgur.com/JwttZhm.png?1[/img] ----- [b]Rex Jokinen[/b] - Mechanics Guild Representative [img]https://i.imgur.com/R6yl106.png[/img] ----- [b]Dominic Macdonald[/b] - Smithing & Welding Guild Representative [img]https://i.imgur.com/CBCuhtM.png[/img] ----- [b]Eritrea Krupin[/b] - Construction Guild Representative [img]https://i.imgur.com/6AMjQX0.png?1[/img] ----- [b]Durnin Catchum[/b] - Engineering Guild Representative [img]https://i.imgur.com/g6b1npm.png?1[/img] ----- [b]Rado Bladić[/b] - Master Engineer [color=f26522](Not Adoptable)[/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/H6viyDg.png?1[/img] He is 43 years old. Rado is a master engineer aboard the Jackal. He is a savant of the Katalohiya religion, a faith which he taught to both his apprentice Zash and the boy's mother Rama. (See Zashahim Gemelgaid CS by Ceta de Cloyes) [/hider] [hider=Zoloto] Before the great flood, this ship was created to house and protect the last privileged people of the world. The famous, rich, and self-dub high class of the world. After three centuries this ship is now little but a floating city, with a populace sick with delusions of grandeur. The fact that the ship was created by and for the "elite" makes this ship one of the grandest looking on the ocean. The exterior and interior have become old and worn, but its practically impossible to find things like grand marble stair cases, and crystal chandeliers anywhere else in the world. Over such a long time, and multiple generations, the people of the ship have created a religion of their own, and truly believe they are better than the rest of the world. They have a partial religious following off ship, within the cities, which results in ignorant followers sacrificing their goods or even selves, as a form of religious offerings. (If you want more about this religion please look under the "Religions & Cults" post below.) ----------------------------------------------- [b]Captain[/b] - Igor Anantasu [img]https://i.imgur.com/uJu0BQW.png?1[/img] Igor is part of the Breeder faction aboard the Zoloto ship. He was born and raised on the ship, and can trace his lineage to Chaisai Anantasu a member of one of the founding families. He has been captain for little over a year. --- [b]High Priestess[/b]- Jinja Mallory [img]https://i.imgur.com/1KbmbzN.png?1[/img] Jinja is a part of the Purists faction on the Zoloto ship. Her family has been mixing and inbreeding with its own for over 200 years, and the ramifications are apparent in most of the Mallory family individuals. Birth defects, deformities, infertility, and mental disorders run rampant in her family, but the Mallory bloodline is revered do to the fact they were the ones who initially commissioned the building of the Zoloto 350+ years ago. There is only one high priest/ess alive at a time, they are the equivalent of the catholic pope. Jinja has been the high priestess since she was 16 years old, and the last priest died leaving her the position. Jinja suffers from severe paranoid schizophrenia, but her delusions are considered messages from god and the divine ancestors, and are meant to be deciphered and followed. Normally the High priest/ess has the last word on everything within the religion and running of the ship, even over the captain, but because of Jinja's insanity Captain Igor has more power then he should. [/hider] [hider=Desalina] This ship was engineered as a seawater desalination facility, and was the main source of fresh water outside of natural rainfall, for a long period of time. The Desalina is home to around 15,000 people, and was one of the first ships to become a community by interlocking with other ships, it is the largest ship community on the ocean. To this day it still is one of the main providers of large amounts of fresh water. The Desalina sticks to a very specific route in the ocean, going from one Drevni City or Insulo City to the next, only stopping at Anchor cities during storms or emergencies. Quite a bit of the fresh water from this ship is used in city land farms. ------ [b]Captain [/b]- Mihailo Byrok [img]https://i.imgur.com/Q4o8LcI.png?1[/img] He was originally born in Maelaki, but was taken aboard the Desalina when he was 9 years old, after him mother pleaded with the then captain of the Desalina, to take care of him. So from the age of nine he began his education and training in the running of the ship. He became captain of the ship six years ago, after the last captain passed away. He is now 43 years old. [/hider] [hider=Syans] This is the most famous ship on the ocean. Initially built by scientist before the big flood to safely stock and preserve things from land that otherwise would have gone extinct. Outside of the Mars space colony this was the most technologically advanced creation to date. Store rooms specially made to preserve billions of seeds, from the millions of plant species around the world. Human embryos, eggs, and sperm are all perfectly frozen for later use, as a way to combat the inbreeding that was assumed to follow the small amount of survivors. Animal embryos and DNA were also saved, and ready to be made alive again, once a good amount of land appears. A large portion of the ship was made into a bio-dome kind of place for the survival of bees, and other pollinators. It's been three centuries and of all the Dominus ships, this one has stayed the most complete. The Syans ship is still ruled by scientist, and has been found to pay woman with rare Honey, and seeds to inseminate them with one of the frozen embryos. This is done in the hope of repopulating the earth, and keeping the gene pool clean. The Syans is also the biggest trade ship on the ocean, as it has basically everything anyone wants or needs, from food, vinegar, fresh water, medicine, and so on. Syans are noted to be the creators of Peables, and the official last word on things revolving around the economy. To become a part of the ship proof of education and scientific ability is necessary. Most people on the ship are Syborn. ------ - [b]Captain [/b]- Yukye Lyndsay [img]https://i.imgur.com/cEzUvNu.png?1[/img] ------ - [b]Head of Botany & Agriculture[/b] - Arica Tindall [img]https://i.imgur.com/PBEPkDz.png?1[/img] ------ - [b]Head of Zoology & Marine Biology[/b] - Dolph Roederer [img]https://i.imgur.com/Tq4T3gK.png?1[/img] ------ - [b]Head of Cryobank[/b] - Yanma Dowland [img]https://i.imgur.com/rMs1vCX.png?1[/img] ------ - [b]Head of Astronomy & Meteorology[/b] - Mariette Siddhartha [img]https://i.imgur.com/Gpo7fnP.png?1[/img] ------ - [b]Head of Economics & Trade[/b] - Zajac Jellicoe [img]https://i.imgur.com/hZcD8n5.png[/img] ------ [/hider]
