Come one, come all! Come see the eighth wonder of the world- Bal'gruun Isle! What goes in, doesn't come out. What comes out isn't as it seems. Who lives in the castle at the peak of the only mountain on this mist-shrouded island? What sort of whimsical, enchanting beings inhabit the shores and the jungles that litter the isle's planes? Only one way to find out, so come join me! Bal'gruun Isle is a place where anything goes, so anyone is allowed to join. There are a few rules just to keep this place in ship shape, but I wouldn't worry to much about the rules. Just kick back, relax, and try not to let the shadows get ya!
1. No excessive swearing (don't say f*** every other word, don't act like an uncultured pirate either!) 2. Keep the forum PG-13 3. No god-playing (if you have questions about whether your character will be allowed, pm me. This is to keep the integrity of the roleplay) 4. Don't kill other players unless the owner gives you the go-ahead 5. Bring any questions or complaints to me immediately
I will start us off with the first post, but here is a little bit of information regarding the RP:
The roleplay starts off on a boat that has lost it's course. With the thick fog rolling in, crews were unable to set the ship back on course. As a result, the ships crew get's stranded on a mysterious island where nothing is as it seems, and they're trying to find a way off the island. Every time they leave, even if they go in a straight line, they get pulled right back and end up back on the shores of the island. They've decided to name the island Bal'gruun Isle, and their main mission is to stay alive. Some crew members have noticed a castle at the top of a mountain, but every time they send someone to check it out, they disappear without a trace. With tensions running high, the men of this crew just want to get back home to their families, but first they must survive the island. The island itself is a tropical place. Once inside the mist, everything clears and becomes sunny and warm. The island is lush with fruit and natural springs, and some of the men have even hunted some strange looking creatures that they've deemed not poisonous. However, when night falls, paradise turns into horror. The beings of the island shift into shadows, and these shadows pick the men off one by one, leaving nothing but a thick, gooey substance that resembles black blood in their wake.
My character is an old sea captain by the name of Janine "Jane" Aussenberg. She climbed her way through the ranks fighting tooth and nail to earn her spot, and no one has doubted her abilities as a captain ever since she completed the task of rounding up the british navy's scout ship and successfully leading a raid. Her appearance is tough, with her long auburn hair pulled back in a loose braid and green eyes that have seen many many nights of the ocean. She usually wears a loose-fitting white t-shirt and a pair of black pants, her gun and sword hung at her hip. What most people don't know about miss Jane is that she is a magic user, and the weapons are only for a cover since magic was outlawed in the 1800's. Her personality is tough, but if someone get's close enough, they'll notice that she has her soft spots. As far as everyone's concerned, Jane does not have a family back at home, and some rumors say she had a son that was murdered in cold blood when he was only five. She doesn't talk about it.
