The Sky Pirates: Remixed

I think its from FFXI. But I dunno, I never played the game.

And on the RP, I personally have to disagree with a 'famous villain.' It limits the things we can do, and takes away the feel of an alt. universe. After all, sky pirates don't really exist in the traditional sense....yet. I say we make up something else entirely. Could be anything from a rival sky pirate group to the government. Or, aliens if you wanna roll that way. o_O I vote for a non alien idea though. xD;;

I agree with Xeim on the non alien idea. It's better to have one, or more, rival pirate crews to fight in the RP. It gets more interesting that way & gives more space to have individual action.

As for the ship, i don't know what we're gonna decide in the end. I started painting a galleon tonight since i have some spare time, but it's nothing much. First attempt. If no one does it & we don't adopt an airship, i guess i can try again.

EDIT: I'm thinking about making a head figure on the ship. Any Ideas on what it should be? A dragon (classic) or something else???

[It seems pretty goofy so far...]

[Holy Priest]

So, how should our character loked like? Nothing had been dicuss about the character developement... I think that we need to discuss more in detail, aren't we? And, will the RP start sooner or later.

[Mistress Sheena]

Your characters are up to you. That's usually how these things work. Why should other people tell you what your character should be? Your character development is your own responsibility. The only thing that we shold work together on is character interaction and plot developments.

And the RP will start in the middle of decemeber, so said Nick.

I've been thinking about the airship for a while and I thought it would be cool if we did it kinda like Ratchet and Clank (not the actual ship). What I'm trying to say is that we could start off with a mediocre ship and as we travel along the skies and get more loot (or booty) then we could upgrade it even more. Examples would be like: New weapons (if it has any), new sails, non rotting wood/steel, its basic shape (we could probably change it into a dragon looking ship like CLOUD said or just leave it as is). Things that would make our ship better. I just think it would be more exciting fixing up our ship, instead of starting off with a super ship. Any thoughts on this??

If this was already discussed then I'm sorry...

[Dragoon_Nick]

Never be sorry, for your a sky pirate now..or at least will be once the RP begins. As for everyone's input, i thank you all greatly. You've been a great crew so far, and i expect nothing else than the excellence you have offered. (Suck up moment?). As for the ship, i was thinking that in the prologue, along with a "member" here, Rummy and I steal an unguarded, and relatively basic airship to escape that "member's" royal background. Hence through every chapter, we obtain a new airship piece which will allow us to have a specific action.

Sort of like FF_Freak mentioned though, but what do you guys think? To me it could spark imaginations..

[CLOUD]

I don't mind having a basic ship & all.

The thing is that, this way, the pirate crew will also be "basic". So, will the crew be just the leaders & another couple of members in the beginning, or something like that???

That way, the rest will have to join the crew while the story unfolds.

As for the characters, i presume that we'll have to make them pretty simple in the beginning; not many traits & not many abilities, right? It's not logical for a new-movice pirate to be able to kill 20 people with a swing of his sword, e.t.c.

Nice n’ subtle daddy, nice n’ subtle. xD But you know, I’m all for it. I like the idea of members joining gradually as well. If we all start together, it's just like a potluck. You throw a whole bunch of things together and you don't have time to savor (in this case get to know) any single thing (person). However, if you introduce people to the band gradually, bonds will become stronger.

The downside (or drama builder really) is that our characters might think of characters who join later as n00bs. xD Hehe. Anyway. Yay for being a young woman surrounded by perverted men!

Cloud: Well, we don't all have to be novice pirates at first.Some of us could have deserted another band, and joined ours. Some could be taken prisoner in a fight and eventually have their loyalty fall to us. We don't have to all be random townspeople that all of a sudden go: "Oh my god! I'm going to become a pirate tomorrow!" But obviously, even if we start out experienced, we can't be gomodding. So yeah, no killing 20 people with the swing of a sword. xD

[Evangel]

So, yeah, we have a basic idea of what our ship is going to look like. We have basic ideas on the RP. I for one am looking into a non-human character, possibly a cyborg.

Anyways, to the main point of this short post. What will our "Jolly Roger" look like? Nothing is more important to pirates than their flag.

Suffice to say, at this stage of the whole RP. Nothing is sure. I have spoken to Vicky about my intentions as to when i should set the sail, not for th ship but for the RP of course, and am thniking mid December, where everyone will be off or near off.

Here's a thing to keep in mind as to the initiatives i have taken:

- Characters may die
- Characters may try to betray
- The ship doesn't have to be made in the 1st chapter, it can also be viewed as a conclusive asset.
- Perhaps 2 members may join per chapter based on an in club vote.
- Chapters will be a max of 15 posts and a min of 8.

Thats at leats what i'm thinking..

As for Rummy's input..maybe when he shows signs of life...

[FF_FrEaK]

Ok will the RP have a certain amount of chapters or will it go on for eternity until all the characters die or retire? I just want to know how long the RP will last just in case it dies or something.(Hopefully it wont though)

[Dragoon_Nick]

Good question FF_Freak, and to answer that. I'll explain it to you right away. Wow how useless was that last line!?

Anyway, i see the Rp continuing until we reach a point where its a carrousel of events. By that i mean when things get repetitive. Considering this is an RP lead by relative RP noobs, lol, considering i have no anterior experience, i expect this to spark interest for around 5 chapters. But then again, theres more to an RP then the runner. That being said, it'll run until it dies in interest..

On that note, lets hope i'm a natural!

[Fishie]

You can do it Captain!!! I'm sure ye can do it mate.

Looking forward to the RP though. The chapters remind me of FFX-2 for some reason. Cept we're like "Sky Pirates" and not "Sphere Hunters" running around in our underwear. ><

Are we also gonna have like a flad design for the ship BTW?

I'M ALIVE DAMN IT!!!
^ Anyways that sounds all good, yet I think to add our own unique twist, there's a big thing to do before the RP.
Work out the races of the world, who our enemies are going to be, regions/locales, possibly even smaller details such as the name of the currency used...
Bearing in mind of course, that we want the RP to be balanced to allow for a more epic story, right?
In other words, don't go overly nuts with inhuman abilities and the like...
(I swear if someone starts casting Meteor or something from post 2 I'll hang myself... [Well not really...])

And I love that proposed Ratchet and Clank ship-like idea. It'll make things more interesting...
FF_FrEaK is truly an asset here...
