The Pirate RP.

Strong Bad · 09-11-2005, 10:14 AM

That's right... you read it. Pirates!

This RP has great potential and i'm expecting some very active posters who'd be willing to...post...actively...

But yes. As you guessed it will be an RP regarding Pirates and based in that time period! Yar har! Traveling the 7 deadly seas has never been so manly. (or deadly)

Now, I haven't exactly planned out any storyline, I was just wondering how many people would first be interested in a Pirate RP.

Invite Only. Sorry folks. Due to lack of interest.. It's now officially invite only. Snooze you lose. PM me if you'd like to join though!

Avast ye scurby land lubbers! Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum! Post your suggestions and interests (if any)!

I'll post some ideas later. Yar Matey!

Well I already stated that Im more than interested. Shoudl I post my characters info now or should I wait for some more ideas to flow in? By the eay, ive got dibs on providing all the alcohol...or at least alot hehe.

ToroMor · 09-14-2005, 12:32 PM

I WANT IN, shove your pm up your brown saloon.

I suggest to place the setting into the carribean sea, BY ALL MEANS!
For starters, the PC group could meet (without knowing each other) in a rundown tavern at Tortuga bay. After some little amusements (including AT LEAST rum, whores, fighting, singing and extended bragging), they could plot something risky like looting and pillaging a random coast city or capturing a spanish silver galleon.

Not that dense story but includes some things I would really appreciate.

Oh yes, the name of the RP should be Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

All hands on deck!
Man the cannons!
FIRE!!!!!!!!

Im liking those ideas alot Toro. Maybe we should also come up with 2-3 other towns and develop their surroundings and environment so that we can involve them into the RP a little more than we would if we just randomly thought of a tonw during the RP. We've already got Tortuga Bay. I cant really think of any good names so Ill leave that up to you guys. Maybe Costa De La Cerveza Inglesa (coast of ale) or something like that.

ToroMor · 09-14-2005, 12:56 PM

^Keep an eye on your sig, Samurai! (I left mine too - the rule is bullshit in the ooc anyway).

Another suggestion: everyone participating who voted for Ninjas as the cooler guys will play a shipboy MUAHAHA!

How about a really huge city like Havanna or Maracaibo? Or finally PORT ROYAL!

Akira · 09-14-2005, 01:01 PM

Damn sig rule. i canunderstand in the RP but here? **** that shit!!!

Oh so we should use real names. Works for me since Im sucking at coming up with random city/town names right now.

Guess Ill also take some of the ship boys for my late night lovers Muahaha!!!

We also need a huge fleet of royal soldiers chasing us around so that we have someone to kill hehe. Or maybe just some rival pirate gang. Both would work actually.

cause i'm from Maracaibo(i bet you didn't see that one coming), born and raised, and i still remember clearly the stories of the pirate raids that were replled in the castle of San Carlos.

so yeah, count me in guys

Strong Bad · 09-14-2005, 04:54 PM

Let me start by saying...

YAR MATIES!!! YAR HAR HAR!!!!

*Cough* Now that that's done and over with... Onto business.

Great ideas ToroMor. This is pretty much what I've come up with so far. There has been a lot of people wanting to be captains... and we can't ALL be captains... riiight? Right. So.. It seems to me that...

There are going to be 2 TEAMS! What's that you say? 2 Teams? That's madness! But alas, It shall be done. Now.. I will be the Captain of one ship (Seeing as it was my idea for the RP =P) And... I was thinking ToroMor should play the captain for the other ship. (Unless you guys have any objections?)

Now... I was thinking of something like this for a storyline:

We all meet in some dark, smoke filled pub, filled with whores, pirates and other sea-scum. When all of a sudden Rumor will spread like wild fire about A TREASURE! (We'll figure out a location in the future.)

So our two teams/rivals will compete to find this treasure! We'll need a bunch of crew members though... I'm sure you guys wouldn't mind filling in those positions. I figure we'll battle at sea or something..

BUT! We MUST have Zombie Pirates. I mean, come on, you can't have a pirate RP without zombies from davey jone's locker.... Maybe some Giant squids will attack our ships.. You'll have to see..

OKay.. what do you guys think? Throw in some Suggestions or..lobsters...

I'll be making the first post *Claimed* So.. don't you guys worry about it. To answer the question earlier. I'd suggest posting your character profiles now in here.... GO!

Name: Wullfe (pronounced wolf) Legendz
Title: The Legendary Wullfe
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Hair: Exactly like Squalls, from Final Fantasy VIII
Left eye: Unknown - Hidden by eye patch.
Right eye: Wine red
Height: 5'10" (Average)
Origin: Spain
Marital Status: Single

Physical Appearance: Looks exactly like Squall, aside from the differnces mentioned above, the lack of the scar, and his own scars, light and healing.

Weapons: Two katanas, named "Heaven" and "Hell".

Bio: Wullfes parents were naval officers aboard a Spanish Galleon. One unfortunate night, their ship was boarded by a group of inmates who had recently made their escape from prison and they proceeded to slaughter everyone on board. Wullfe was tossed overboard, to drown, but the leader of the band of pirates ordered him rescued, and has continued to raise him as his own son. Wullfe knows nothing of his life before Captain Morgan. He is under the impression that the captain is his birth father. Ever since he was a child, he had the tendency to hide his left eye behind an eye patch, for what reason no one knows, and nobody has ever bothered to find out.

Under the expert guidance and tutelage of Captain Morgan, Wullfe has grown to be an extremely competent swordsman, his studies as a tactician, however, are lacking due to his enmity towards study. While the dear Captain prefers to use a rapier and pistols, Wullfe has developed his own style of fighting. One day, after raiding a foreign merchants ship, Wullfe claimed his prized katanas from the ships treasure hold. Never having seen any such weapon before, he was mesmerized and immediately fell in love with them. Ever since then, he has developed his own style of fighting, blending Captain Morgan’s teachings with his own fluid movements.

He currently serves as Captain Morgan’s right hand man. And as the Captain was once envied amongst his peers, Wullfe is now envied amongst the crew, due to his age. He is usually quiet, and while he may appear cruel, and insensitive, he’s most often contemplative and meditative. He trusts no one, save for his father, and would give his life if necessary to further the dear captains cause.

A note to all, this is how I role play:

::Indicates action.::
“Dictates speech.”
(Expresses unspoken thoughts.)

Also, Strong Bad, I was wondering if it would be ok if we were to dock at St. Lucia? I’m familiar with the island, so that’s why I ask. And another thing…are you sure you don’t want a hook on your character?

Strong Bad · 09-14-2005, 11:07 PM

Alright.. where to start. A couple things wrong with ^ this post.

1. I didn't invite you. It's invite only... But you're my buddy so I'll let you in.
2. I don't know about gay sex.. but.. uh... brown saloon!
3. You have to remember that this is in the time period of Pirates! What kind of weapons did pirates use? Not Katanas... But I'm going to let it slide, 'cause really.. I just don't give a damn.

As far as the Background history goes... I think I can work with that. You can be mah "adopt son" type deal thinger. Concidering your character is 16.. and mine's going to be in his early 30's. It should work out... I wouldn't be so confident on the "unmatched" skills part... everyone can't be perfect you know. Plus, we're drunken pirates, not Super Martial Arts people haha. Pirates are more so... hack & Slash style I imagine.. but some training could help out I guess? I dunno.. Do you understand what I'm getting at here?

As far as your RPing style...

You don't have to mark actions with anything.. it's all about writing.. just write what you're doing. " "'s are good for speech though, keep that up. As for thoughts... I would suggest writing in italics. That's what I usuallly do for my character's thoughts...

09-15-2005, 05:18 AM

what kind of adopting person are you to not invite me already!!

Strong Bad · 09-15-2005, 08:31 AM

One whom hadn't noticed he had adopted you yet... Plus, I need to speak with you over AIM/MSN first to get to know you better and your posting style before I can just willy-nilly go inviting you (and others) into this RP. Have you ever even RPed before? If not.. You need some lessons Pronto! Then we shall see about you participating

Argh! Sorry about the invite only part. And thank you for letting me in! About the katanas...you have a point. So how about scimitars instead? And the unmatched skills part? That's just Wullfes opinion...but that's okay because he's a drunken bastard! Does this add up better dude?

Strong Bad · 09-15-2005, 09:45 AM

Much better. Although, you can keep the katanas if you want to. I mean.. I love katanas myself and they're my weapon of choice, I'm just not going to use them in this RP. I bet it wasn't unheard of for a pirate to have katanas anyways... just.. not that common I imagine. But suit yourself!

name: Domino

age: 22

sex: male

weapons: 2 knives balanced in weight, and one shot easy reload gunpowder pistol

physical description: 5'11 strong physical build on this scalliwag, brown eyes shaved head and 6'o clock shadow very attractive.Spanish of nationality, but his mother was french. He dresses nicely for a pirate, in the clothing he steals from the rich women he flirts with and robs their husbands closets.

bio: Domino grew up in spain as an average child with an average family, when spain opend up trade to the rest of the world, sailors would infest the small towns looking for booze and whores. Seeing the drunken "disgraces" (as his parents called them) began a great dislike and almost hatred for that 'SORT" of man. He and his friends would wait in an alleyway by the taverns and trip the first drunkard and steal his pouch of gold in order to buy presents for girls they liked, as things for themselves. by the time domino was 16 he was known as a town trouble maker and had a small following "gang" of others backing him. Spending his whole life by the docks and ports his imagination got the best of him, and he began daydreaming about seeing other "lands". While one day trying to "borrow" a noble ship got thrown into a small prison for 2 years of his life. In prison Domino was well respected, beacuse his gang wold sneak extra provisions in when he wanted, a luxury which no other prisoners had. Emerging from his cell @ the age of 18 had a even greater dislike for authority figures.

Domino enterd a bar run by the local politicians and bullys of the town (his "old friends") and eventually was named "leader" known by domi. After running a successful prostituting business, domino became bored with the lifestyle and wanted to move out and expand his business. After a deal went bad with another kingpin and being beaten badly and being thrown into another prison because of the kingpins pull with dirty politicians, domino had many nights (at the kingpins request) fighting for his life, until it was almost all to a common thing. His skill with a knife became unreal to the point even thugs paid to attack him wouldnt do it unless they were joined by at least 5 others, landing him in jain for life.He escaped (duh) due to his skill, well that and a couple loyal whores distracting the guards while hed steal the keys periodically, Escaped and to get back wooed and "pimped" the boss's wife and daughters (2). A small war erupted between dominos and other groups for territory, inevitably his lost. Due to casualties lost on his side became a drunkard and would occasionally screw other bosses wifes out of the pure joy of knowing they couldnt beat him in a one on one.

While running one day (escaping more like) after being caught pants down by the "shabby 12"'s boss, takes a right through the city alleyways under the various street lanterns, while attempting to hold his pants up and looking behind him for the men trips head first into strong bads char, followed by him making an outrageous story and asking him to hide and willing to pay...etc..they became the best of friends and is now know for being a pretty boy ladies man with a short temper and an apetite for trouble. Despite his reputation domino is known for leaving not only fist fights but being well outnumbed with only his knives against multiple swords and raining victorious.
