I believe you mean Demolitions Expert Kerim.

This is looking interesting. I might try my hand at being a naval reiter.

Yeah, I knew I made a mistake.
And you should. Seriously.

Props to you if you knew what I was talking about.

So, when can we expect an ETA.

God, I feel nubbish for asking this. Uh, what's a ETA?

Estimated Time of Arrival.

Meh. Next weekend.

Maybe earlier.

Well, I'm almost done with my half...

Maybe if you actually worked on yours...

Note: THIS IS A UN-FINISHED ROUGH DRAFT. NONE OF THIS CONTENT IS FINAL AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

But you are welcome to fill the character sheet and PM it to me. Just so I can get an idea of who will all be on the ship.


Details on the RP
_________________________________________________________
Hello to all you foxy people out there, and thanks for giving this RP a look. Kerim and I will be Co-DMing. The adventure is basically split into two parts, Land, and Sea. The Land sections (And where important stuff happens) are focused around small objectives that all lead up to one large overall objective for that island or area that advances the plot. The sea sections are when the party is traveling in between land sections and allows characters to recuperate, chat, and repair. Once in awhile, the party will be attacked at sea by monsters or even another vessel, resulting in Sea Battles. During Sea Battles, not only can you normally attack, you can also utilize the ship itself in fighting.
In this world, words such as F*** and S*** don’t exist, and your character will look out of place if they do utter those words.


The Setting
_________________________________________________________
“Long ago, the world was much larger then it is today. From rolling plains, to deep canyons, the land was dominant of the sea. Man ruled the earth, and created many kingdoms. As they prospered, they set up borders and boundaries to define what belonged to whom, and who belonged to what. As time went on, man grew tired of what they already had, and became envious of each other. They began to quarrel over topics such as land, wealth, and power. Soon wars broke out and man fought each other. The gods saw this and became sad. This was not how they intended things to go. They tried to warn man, but their warnings fell upon deaf ears as the fighting continued. The gods then decided that it was best if they start over again, and so it began to rain. The rain swelled the oceans to enormous sizes, and the land began to disappear. Man dropped its weapons and stared up into the heavens to see the gods crying an endless rain. They asked the gods why they weep, and the gods told them of all their wrongdoings. Man tried to apologize and even built shrines to honor the gods, but it was far too late for forgiveness. The oceans swallowed up the cities and kingdoms man had fought so ferociously over, putting thousands to their watery graves. The once proud continents were reduced to humble clusters of islands. Few man survived, and the ones who did began to rebuild. Man soon forgot about the gods and built new cities upon the ruins of old ones and started anew. They say there are still remnants of the god’s sadness, lost in the ruins of the Old World. But one thing is for certain, man cannot make the same mistake twice, or we may all perish..."

–A reading from Xavier Pearil’s controversial book “The Old World”

Saladerastron (Sala-Dera-stron) is a world where the sea dominates the land. The land is nothing more then islands scattered across the planet.

Main Characters
_________________________________________________________
These are Characters that the story focuses on. Main Characters are mostly controlled by various participants in the RP who all work together to create a story.

User Name: Zesper
Character Name: Captain Avigo (You may call him “Captain”.)
Age: 24
Appearance: The Captain is a tall man at 6.2 feet. His hair is a brownish-blond, comes down to about his jaw, and has a tenancy to spike out forward in front of is face. Atop his head is a large brimmed dark red fedora with several large white griffin feathers sticking out one side. The hat itself is usually c*** to one side. His eyes are sea green and cat-like, giving him the look like he’s always watching you. Despite being a captain, his face bears no flaws, scars, or burns, only some stubble around his chin. Avigo usually has a lazy or bored expression plastered on his facial features. For his torso, he wears a simple, white button-up dress shirt (the collar acts as a turtleneck) and around his neck he wears a lacy silk jabot cravat. For his hands, he wears brown leather gloves that come up to his elbows. Around his stomach, he wears six large belts that all overlap each other. From one of these belts, a gun holster and a sheath are attached to his left side. For leg protection, he wears black leather pants that become baggy around where it meets his boots. The boots themselves are made of a dark brown leather and come up to his knees. Each boot has a large brass buckle. Over all this he wears a dark red Coachman coat (unbuttoned) that comes down to his ankles with large cuffs and its collar sticking up. With him Avigo carries a large leather messenger bag that contains various objects. Its strap goes from his left shoulder to the right of his hip where the bag itself is located. This is the Scarlet Dread captain’s outfit with a few modifications.
Personality: Avigo is what you would call a gentleman. He tends to be very relaxed and carefree, not one to waver in the presence of authority. He is well mannered and hates when others use incorrect grammar. The Captain can come across as c*** and self-centered at times, but is dead serious when he knows he can’t get himself out of a sticky situation. He is also is a user of sarcasm, and loves to make a joke or two at times. Though when he is alone, he will have an almost child-like fascination with anything that grabs his attention. He is also a tad sexist, thinking it's the man's job to fight.
Biography: Not much is known about the Captain other then the fact that he claims to be a well respected seafarer and a ship captain for the notorious Scarlet Dread. His story is that he was aboard his vessel when his fist mate stabbed him in the back and took over the ship, converting the crew against him and threw the Captain overboard. He managed to survive and washed upon the sandy shores of Dasmal Island and was revived. Soon after, he started to spread the word of himself around port town in hopes to attract the attention of able-bodied people n search of adventure to join his crew so that he may extract revenge on the Scarlet Dread. He is currently awaiting any response inside the backroom at the local Tavern.
Misc.: The captain has an accent in which he cleaves the “H” off the start of words. (Think British.) An example would be: “What a fine day to ‘ave a picnic!” He is also a lover of alcohol and fine wines, sometimes even getting drunk on the job. In one of the many compartments in his bag, is a dirty, brass pocket-watch. It also doubles as a compass and even a stopwatch, making it very hard to comprehend. He also carries around a small, brass collapsible telescope. He also carries around with him a silver flute, and plays it often.
Current Item(s)/Weapon(s): An elegant long-sword, an elegant long barreled revolver, a pocket watch, and a telescope.
Skills: Captain has an incredible persuasion talent. He is a first-class barterer, and is able to convince almost anyone of anything. He could persuade you to give him the shirt off your back.
Class: Pirate
Job: Captain
Current Location: Dasmal Island Port: Tavern
Well-Being: Healthy




Supporting Characters
_________________________________________________________
Supporting characters (or NPCs) are groups or people who are controlled by Kerim or I. These are people who are vital to the story and may help or hinder you.


The Scarlet Dread: The world famous mass organization of pirates that seem to rule the seas. Captain Avigo claims he used to be a captain himself for Scarlet Dread before he was betrayed. They are known for storming ports, intercepting trade ships, and being completely ruthless. Because of their mass numbers and seemly endless firepower, Scarlet Dread has practically eliminated any competing pirates. Only small time pirate ships dare roam the sea, always on a careful lookout for one of the Scarlet Dread’s numerous blood-red battleships. Though there are many captains in the organization, no one is really sure who leads them.

Trevor Ponchelli: Trevor is a chubby young lad of ten who is son to the couple that owns the Port Town Tavern. He is fascinated by pirates, and dreams to one day become one. Captain Avigo recruited Trevor to round up anyone who was interested in joining his crew. Trevor now waits in Town Square for the interested.





So is it all the fail you ever wanted and more?

Pretty. I love it. I don't see a list though.
Chances are, you aren't going to accept my character (For unknown reasons), but I still want to submit my character. However, I can't pick from any list below.

In the final version, Kerim's list of jobs and classes will be below my post.

Question: The thunder magi class description states that they have powers over electricity/lightning. So does that mean that storms in general are what they have the ability to conjure/manipulate?

Scientifically, all you'd be able to do is violently cross the molecules in the air to make sparks of electricity, so it's limited.
Magically, a bunch of s***.

Well, out of storms, they could charge things full of volts, and shock objects or beings. In storms, they are actually able to summon bolts of lightning. They are also able to electrocute water.

I mean aside from lightning such as wind, rain etc.

Oh. Like as in "How many different aspects (Elements) of the storm would mages be able to control"?
