A (High) Seas adventure.

@Garden GnomeGreat! I hope the intention is clear and that we have more people joining soon!

High seas adventure!

Greetings fellow roleplayers,


So I have been toying with the idea of setting up a fantasy naval adventure experiment in which both the seas as the world we roleplay in is largely ‘uncharted’. What this means is that we will all add to the world through our backstories and the stories we experience. This means that you can decide what the major religion in the world we roleplay in is, or the names of the kingdoms, republics and the like are.
This means we all introduce places, species, cultures, habits and so on trough our interactions with the world. In that spirit you can join as nigh anything you like, with the only reccomendations being that you will be able to interact with another player character within a post or 2. Standard procedures surrounding character application via the OOC first apply.

Some of the general notions of our world, more will be added as we come up with more content.
-Magic is rare in this world, those that apply it do so in various ways and are held in suspicion amongst the populace (if they don't go 'burn the witch' right away). Amongst those sailing the seas however pragmatism has provided room for outcasts with particular skillsets.
-The main theatre of our adventures is dotted with many isles to the west of a 'mainland' from which your typical European/Arabian medieval character would stem. The Isles are largely uncharted due to frequent mists, mealstorms etc. They are a hotbed for pirates, cults, odd beasts and so on.
-There are multiple races in the world, the most familiar being the standard trio of Dwarves, Elves and Men. Men have 'civilized' most of the previously mentioned 'mainland' and there is a good hint of racism in most societies.

Now for the technicalities:
You have full freedom in your manipulation the NPC's around you save for some NPC's that I will mark in the OOC. Every 2-3 days I make a post in which I reply to all so give your posts an ending or progression that is open to my manipulation. I suggest ending posts with something of which you do not need or want to controll the outcome. In time these post will most likely become less and less since the player characters will end up together more and more.

The character sheet:
Neigh all of the categories speak for themselves, with the 'introduced content' categorie I would preffer a more general description of the content you mean to introduce, instead of the specific interactions your character has with it introduced in the backstory.

Main thing is that we should reach a consensus about a few general notions in this world. As these are my preferences I will just line them up below, but they are very much open to discussion:

-Magic is rare in this world, those that apply it do so in various ways and are held in suspicion amongst the populace (if they don't go 'burn the witch' right away). Amongst those sailing the seas however pragmatism has provided room for outcasts with particular skillsets.

-There are multiple races in the world, the most familiar being the standard trio of Dwarves, Elves and Men. Men have 'civilized' most of the previously mentioned 'mainland' and there is a good hint of racism in most societies.

Again, very much open to discussion.

Well, I will get an OOC up soon with a character and thus the first additions to our world.

Let me know what you think and if you are interested!

Star Wars: Coruscant Underworld [Always accepting!]

waiting for sep in the collab post.

Star Wars: Rogue Fleet

might be interested, though I think you would need to kill a B*tload of clones IC wise, just couse they are meant to follow directives and such.

Star Wars: Coruscant Underworld [Always accepting!]

@Morden Man I found a RP we are going to both inhabit.

The end times are upon us.

@Sep

Yeah you're right, been a bit occupied this week (have to get another house in a short timespan) but a bit more on track now!

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

He is looking for someone to be assigned to! who wants an apprentice?

Arunash Varuul

Name: Arunash Varuul
Species: Rattataki
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Faction: Sith Empire
Rank: Apprentice

Appearance:

A tall and broad, chalk white Rattataki. Arunash has black tattoo’s over his face, one colouring the most of his chin, and two ‘fangs’ running over his bald scalp. He has grown accustomed to displaying his physical fitness by keeping his arms bare. Wearing a set of charcoal plated pants under a chestpiece, over it he wears a sleeveless black overcoat. A broad grey scarf hides his neck. Arunash uses a lightsaber with a hilt that is often mistaken for a double-bladed lightsaber while only having a single blade. He uses the longer hilt to add strength and leverage to his attacks.

Notable Characteristics of Species:

Near humans with white skin and a lack of hair.

Flaws:

- Over-confident of his own abilities
- A bad loser
- Submissive, preferring the following role. In this he aims to serve those higher up the food chain of the Empire
- Mainly combat oriented in regards to the force, he lacks finesse with the force, using his rage without subtlety.
- Slow to truly anger, making for a weak point in his force abilities.
- Strict with the rules, and following them himself, something that doesn’t always work out for a Sith.

Skills:

- His Strength and physique are his strong points, he knows this and uses it for intimidation. Djem So is his form of choice.
- Patient. Though having its flaws for his use of the force it works for Arunash in the long term (he hopes), awaiting his time to strike, whether in combat or during interrogation.
- While looking like the dumb brute, Arunash aims to use this to his advantage.

Force capabilities:

-Tutaminis (basic): Arunash has learned that if he cannot inflict much damage through the force, he might better have a solid defense against it. He can't go as far as deflecting sabers with his bare hands, but he can deflect a forcepush and the like.
-Basic skills in force sight,sense, precognition and other basic powers.
-He rarely amplifies his powers when truely enraged, giving him acces to force scream, bellow and more powerfull telikinisis powers.

Biography:

Born into slavery for the Sith Empire Arunash learned from a young age it was better to lay low than to stand out. At age 14 a census amongst the slaves of the sector revealed Arunash to be force sensitive and he was brought along to train at the temple on Korriban. He had little going for him there. His affinity with the force was mediocre, at best, his personality and submissive attitude thrived poorly in the academy. The only thing he had going for him was his physique and his skill with the blade. Though it was enough to draw the attention of the more manipulative acolytes who (ab)used them for their own gain, it did not get him the attention of a master. Long years where spend at the academy, but when Arunesh was 20 he was picked out by Lord Galryn.

Lord Galryn was a Sith of the front lines, a commander of ruthless efficiency. In Arunash he saw a devout tool. Together with 4 other apprentices Arunash had to vie for approval. Though anything but Galryns most impressive student, he kept making result, and more importantly; stayed alive. As such apprentices came and went but Arunash just roamed the battlefields under Lord Galryn’s guidance. He grew more and more experienced in the use of Djem So and Shien, dominating his opponents with overwhelming, but controlled force.

The relative safety of Lord Galryn’s protection came to an end when Galryn’s command ship was sunk in battle. Another apprentice rose to take up the position and fought an uphill battle without space and air dominance. Arunash was quickly sent away under false pretences. As was his plan. With it came a reassignment however. One that would bring him to The Kaggath

Personality and/or Motivation:

An early live in slavery thought Arunash the value of both staying unnoticed, while at the same time appearing strong. It has shaped him into a normally silent, soft talking man that tends to avoid conflicts with his superiors. He is the type of person that calculates his options and then goes cold and ‘makes things happen’ in the way most efficient (in his mind). He is a strong believer that a better galaxy can only be created by optimizing the strength of each individual. If this goes at the cost of lives, so be it.

Player’s long term goals:

Rise in the ladder of power to come in service of a powerful Darth. Nourishing his skills under them and maybe, eventually becoming one himself.

Relations:

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

@Ellri
Yes I am rewriting the bio as we speak, it somehow did not get copied when I posted, and afterwards I deleted the word file it was in with the thought that everything was here anyway ^^.

The ambition question is spot on, he has it, but will only try to seize power when a lot of factors are swinging his way.
In line with that is his use of the force, he values controll, but he can only display truely powerfull feats in the force when in genuine rage.

As for a master: EVERYONE: consider this an open application. Do you want somebody to push around? Do you want someone that is loyal dispite most things? Arunash is the man for you!

as for force powers, working on them as well, but I am thinking of investing him in the defensive powers mainly (tutaminis) as those are the powers he uses while not in rage, than having a few that he can use when he taps into his anger. I haven't had the time to look at the list you put up though.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

@frapet I have known Ellri a long time, he will be looking for a longer and more detailed bio.

@Sep

Wow, ye I can imagine, it cut out a bit somehow! deleted the original though, will be working on that!
