This post is doubling as an interest *bump* and also checking in with everyone.
Has anyone got plans or anything they want their character to go through/experience? What sort of adventure should this first one turn out to be? Happy to collab ideas.
My initial idea was an item retrieval that leads us into a cave hunting dragon eggs. If the GM permits it we could end up keeping one. :) Team mascot/pet.
This is the historic collection of tales and events detailing the adventurers of the Lantallian and its crew.
First mission
KO-BOLD or KO HOME
Location: Unknown
'TING'... 'TING-TING'. . . 'TING'. 'THWACK!'
"Ughh... Peter." Says a tall faceless man in a fine suit standing behind a dull unlit control console. "Can you see if those primitive lizards are nearly done attacking our ship yet?" Niyati verbally asks aloud to an empty cockpit.
Somewhere outside the executive transport ship an inquisitive angry family of kobolds were fiercely attempting to defend their barren patch of marshland against the giant metal bird that just came dropping in with a burnt out rear stabiliser.
Tapping the empty space of a hollow ring strapped around his wrist Niyati attempted to start a holographic conversation with his mechanic. "Have you figured it out yet? We aren't too far away from the rendezvous point. Perhaps it would be best to proceed by foot from here on out."
The crew was in fact not too far from their destination. The exact circumstances of their job were not yet clear but the client they were to meet resided in a nearby forest.
"Primitive magical planets..." Niyati stated with a telepathic thought as he straightened up his suit. He would have to find a new image to wear if he planed on venturing forth. Tapping his com's device he talked to all available crew.
"I'll be moving forth on foot. I am suspecting trouble from the both the locals and the environment. I will need capable escorts. Who will be joining me?"
Sooo... Can I go this solo? Lol, Nothing much seems to be happening in this space. I tried to motivate the 'love bomb Pirates' to get over here. It took some sacrifices, literally. I killed off my own character to lead them here and now I'm just really hoping they bring her for resurrection. But there seems to be a conflict of interests, so im not sure if she will be coming back.
Long story short I wanna keep playing Arex's story. Can I double post or possibly remove him?
Slowly one after another, the stairs creaked eerily under the vestige of a passing heavy weight. One by one the old polished wood groaned, it's cries descending ever nearer towards the tavern floor.
Just out of sight the moving body stopped. The creaking gave way to silence and the soft short sharp inhale of air being sucked up into ones nostrils could be heard. It repeated again and again with a stubborn yet concerned curiosity.
...
"Fuck! Dorian's gonna kill me."
...
The words broke his silence in a short sharp whisper. Spat out with disappointment and regret. The man then quickly descended the stairs and came to look upon the crowd. He was an intimidating figure, tall and well built. Tattoos peeked out from under his clothing, piercing eyes surveying the scene, darting around looking for something.
An near empty glass bottle caught his eye. Moving quickly with purpose he went over snatching it. Ignoring the commotion around him he eyed the few remaining blue droplets and as he did, frustration and worry took a hold of his face.
Jon closed his eyes as the first shot rung out, not opening them until the violent echoes faded from the air and silence resumed. Without realisation he had reached out to Millicent, taking her arm in his hand and holding it tight. With a calm steady breath Jon conveyed the scene and the dead. His face a wash of frustration and disappointment, just beneath the surface was a well of anger and disgust. His turned to Millicent as he made sure she was alright. Concern and relief visible in his steady eyes.
Still without words Jon releases his grip of Millicent and silently walks across the docks to the slaves. The female captains words were but a background noise in his ears. His focus clearly on the deceased. Kneeling down beside one of the slaves Jon checks the mans vitals, closes his eyes and then makes the shape of the cross on his own chest as he says a farewell.
Picking up his knife Jon goes back to where Millicent was and attempts to take her hand. "Come now miss, let's be rid of this place." he says softly as he pushes past the men who once blocked his way.
@Morose Sorry just stuck on the five shots. Did 5 people shoot? Did she reload (15 seconds) between each shot, or has she got some special gun not listed on the character sheet?
I'm led to believe everything was flintlock and black powder back then.
I think I'll keep Anya's post as is. There's still 8 others on that ship with different back-stories and goals. Its a large open world game. I'm sure someone will opt for the GM reward quest. After all that's only open until someone wins, the other stuff can be done whenever.
It's a pretty good reward too!
Just play it out IC and see how it rolls out.
If no one takes it Anya stays dead. There's not a lot she can do or say about it right now.
"Argh, Metang!" The mechanic winced with concern as his Metang was hit three times in rapid succession. A trifecta of highly effective attacks. Inkay immobilised it diverting its attack momentum straight into the ground. The Fletchinder heated things up with a fast follow up Flame Charge. Before Metang had even recovered from that Pupitar hit with a fierce Payback sending Metang rolling across the floor to his owners feet. The mechanic just looked down at his pokemon. "Get up and shake it off, I know your stronger then that!" "Tang" it replied as it did just what it's trainer said. Floating back up in the air. "Right now hit them with a psychic confusion."
Metang began to glow with a blue hue as light engulfed his body and radiated off in waves highlighting his nearest opponents. (Metang's eyes glow light blue, and the opponent becomes outlined in light blue. Metang can then control the opponent.)

"Hohhhhh! Rhyhorn cried suffering from the dual water and grass attacks. He was out of the battle but not before crashing to the ground sending off one more earthquake. "You wanna play like that then! Fine! Zubat, Pawniard, Spheal, come on out and stop these trouble makers!" AJ shouted, returning Rhyhorn and releasing an array of other Pokemon as he throws their pokeballs out before him. Machop had come to his side from the cave ready to battle.
"Don't fight who they want you to fight! Intercept their attacks. Defend each other, look after Metang and confuse our opponents!" That was AJ's orders and his pokemon obeyed.
(Machop 1, dynamic punch -> Zubat 3, confuse ray-> Rhyhorn 17, earthquake-> All. (Fainted) Spheal 2, water pulse -> Pawniard 3, Metal sound & scary face -> All.)

Vivian had just got up when the ground once again shook under her feet. She squealed in frustration and fright but this time Rowlet and Flabebe were at her side helping her. Ferroseed bounced around angrily, getting tossed about by the shaking earth. Petilil worked with it, finding its balance it jumped from rock to rock moving towards the front line.
