Good, good. Everything seems to be in order. Still a bit shaky on why the man Okayasu wants to kill came all the way to the west, but I suppose some mysteries can be left for the IC:

Accepted, welcome aboard. Arrh~

A few things:

1. You forgot to include Okayasu's Perception in his Pirate Parameters.

2. His Martial Arts, how well can he cut things with his hands? Can they substitute a full-on sword or other slashing/cutting weapon? And if he already has swordmanship at a level where he can cut almost anything, what is ht purpose of having learned this particular form of fighting-style?

3. Speaking of his swordsmanship, please elaborate a bit more about in his history, as well on his master(s). Who they were and why they know the skills/techniques they do, and why they decided to take in a thieving street-urchin and teach him their rather impressive skills.

4. I'd like to know, in your history, wht Okayasu, and the man he wants vengeance on, came all the way from Umitoshi (in the far east) to the waters in the far west. Granted, this is partly my fault for not explicitly stating where in the world Prawncourt is located to begin wtih.

5. It seems you forgot something else, please have a look through the Rules again.

Once these points have been addressed, let me know and I'll go over your CS again. :)

It does and it doesn't.
If you're looking for the kind of everyday mages that you'd find in typical RPGs or in Dungeons & Dragons and the like, then no.

Magic exists, but mostly in the form of curses or supernatural phenomenon. there are also select individuals or creatures that can use magic-like powers. But players won't be allowed to se it, unless its something very niche and more akin to a particularly, specialized power - like how Nami from One Piece can "feel" or "read" the weather/water/waves which helps her be an excellent navigator.

TL;DR:

You can't be a fireball throwing wizard.

@Crowvette
Sounds like a good deal. Who doesn't love a boisterous pirate who sings sea shanties and is drunk 75% of the time (and sleeps the remaining 25%)? ^^

@Punished GN
I did say in the interest check that there'd be "buxom wenches", didn't I?

Of course, if this is too upsetting for you, I could always change the Captain's appearance.

@Eviledd1984
Now, now, don't throw our crew in the salmmer before we've even recruited them... We... KInda sorta need 'em... Free pass this time?

@Expendable
The Captain has all the necessary skills needed. By which I mean, she simply doesn't have certain skills, even if she should. ;)

Also, the skills-list is for outstanding or noteworthy skills, not every single skill a character possesses. Because if it were for the latter, the list could go on foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

But to alleviate any concern you may have, The Captain does know how to handle a ship. ... Just not as well as you might like her to.

Ilyana's history is looking a bit chonky there, might wanna break it up into paragraphs to make it a bit less WoT-y. But its still a WIP I guess, so I'm sure you'll polish it, keep up the good work~

@Eviledd1984
No rush, not like the IC's gonna start up tonight anyway. I'm heading to bed within an hour or so regardless, so, yeah. Take the time you need. :)

In the meantime, what is the "power level" we're going for with our characters here? For example, it wouldn't make sense to have an expert swordsman in a crew full of novices.

@Zapdos

That depends on a great many factors aobut your character. How old are they? What's their background? What was their childhood like? Were they tutored by someone, or self-taught? Do they have inherent talent or a natural affinity for <insert desired skill here>?

Of course, nobody is going to make a be-all-end-all character who can swing a cutlass with one arm and fire a gun with the other at the same time, all while performing a series of backflips and grabbing onto an errant sail-line and flying off all while laughing heartily.

If you want to play as a grizzled, experienced veteran, you can do that. If you want to play as a fresh-faced, squeaky-clean novice who is still developing, that's fine too. My only criteria is that you make your character reasonable. Don't be a Jack/Jill-of-All-Trades who excels at every single aspect of life. Balance your Pirate Parameters and have some weaknesses or short-comings. Try working in some kind of tangible, exploitable flaws. The Captain has plenty of those after all, and she isn't a master in anything.

Hope that gives you an idea.
