Pirates

[Keke Le Cat]

Introductory:

We are trying to follow the KISS method. The item and spell lists are very simple.

Plot:
We are a crew of adventuring would-be pirates, mostly Neutrally aligned. We are a band of friends just setting out on their adventure, so we don't have much. We do not have a ship. We'll need to steal that.

The story begins in Dublin with [Hikari's character] getting kidnapped by a band of Goblins while they were bartering for supplies at the Market.

The only current crew members are: Ervan, Keke, Captain Kitty, Dani, and Hikari. Anyone who wishes to join may meet the o at the rally point behind the bar to join the Hikari rescue attempt and apply for a position with the captain later. If joining after the rescue attempt has already launched, you may meet the crew in their later journeys and speak with the captain then.

Pink Kitty is in charge of determining your position on the ship as she is captain. speak with her in PM about what you do and what you want to do.


Rules:

The Rules may be expanded without notification.

1.) Every crew member's first post should be their Profile and role aboard the ship. If this evolves the original post should be updated as well as a notification post.
2.) Anyone may call foul to any action and it will be deliberated
3.) No god modding or super powers, all combat arts and spells not listed must be approved via PM
4.) No permanently killing each other off without permission or unless unanimously voted
5.) Use good grammar and spelling if at all possible
6.) No random acts of stupidity
7.) Before joining the crew you must pre-approve your profile via PM.
8.) Begin posts with ooc: or ic:

Example posts:

Instead of *picks up the hammer* your post should look something like this:

IC:

Keke slowly bends to pick up the blacksmiths hammer that Ervan tossed her direction, and examines the head. "Nice craftsmanship, but what do you expect me to do with it exactly? Do I look like a blacksmith?" She flexes her puny muscles and giggles coyly.

~~~OR~~~

IC: Keke looked around the room expectantly.

OOC: I think it's silly what you guys are doing, knock it off.

Statistics

List your stats in your character profile with a limit of 25 base stats per character. Jewellery can add in and boost that later. We have no jewellery starting out.

4 is the minimum you can have in any stat. A maximum of 20 points may be placed in any stat. Anything lower than 4 intelligence would render you a babbling fool, lower than 4 agility would make you a bumbling oaf, etc.

Intelligence: Mage power and ability - adds to ones ability to use mage spells without growing weary, a minimum of 6 int is required to cast First Circle, 12 int to cast Second Circle and 20 int to cast Third Circle.
Strength: Melee power and ability - determines how hard you hit and skill with melee weapons
Agility: Ranged power and ability - determines speed, grace of movement, ability and how hard you hit with ranged weapons
Wisdom: Healer power and ability - adds to ones ability to cast heal spells without growing weary
Vitality: determines your health points. each point of vitality = 25 health points

Caster: Each point of intelligence or wisdom adds 2 power to your power pool. Spell costs vary, when your power is low you must rest to regain it. Resting 1 hour returns 25% of your power.

Ranged/Melee: Each point of strength or agility adds 2 power to your power pool. Combat Art costs vary, when your power is low you must rest to regain it. Resting 1 hour returns 25% of your power.

A mage would want higher intelligence, a druid/cleric higher wisdom, a ranger/rogue higher agility and strength, and a warrior higher strength and vitality. Most warriors are dumb as bricks and but strong and vital.

As we preform heroic acts our stats will increase. Periodically it will be announced that the entire crew receives (+1) to any stat of their choice at which time they must edit their profile.

Classes:

Casters:
Mage (offensive magic user, see spell list for details, may only wear light armour)
Druid (cleric/mage hybrid, see spell list for details, may only wear light armour)
Cleric (pure healer, may wear any armour but may not use offensive magic)

Ranged/Melee:
Warrior (proficient with any weapon except mage weapons, may wear any type of armour)
Rogue (warrior/ranger hybrid with some sneakiness thrown in, proficient with close combat and ranged weapons, may wear light or medium armour, dual-wield capable, thieves and assassins would chose this class, proficient and going unseen and backstabbing)
Ranger (proficient with close combat and ranged weapons, may wear light or medium armour, dual-wield capable, master trackers, works closely with nature, usually has an animal cohort of some sort)

[Keke Le Cat]

Spells and Combat Arts

Spells are cast by mages/druids/clerics, combat arts are used by ranged/melee classes.

For simplicities sake only three Circles of Mage spells are permitted. Any Mage may cast First Circle, a moderately talented Mage may cast Second Circle, and a very talented Master Mage may cast Third Circle with sporadic success. The magic energy from any failed spell may expand in interesting and sometimes tragic ways with an unqualified caster. Do not attempt magic while distracted. Third Circle spells have a high probability to fail. A Master Mage may control and mold the failed magic energy into something harmless such as a gust of air, a loud bang or a lower Circle spell.

Any druid may cast any druid spell.

Any cleric may cast any cleric spell. Clerics may wear plate armour but cannot use any offensive magic.

Spell casting wearies the caster, the bigger the spell, the more it takes from the caster. After casting several large spells the caster will need to rest to recuperate. An exhausted Mage who attempts magic will likely fail and be unable to control the magic energy. For example: After casting 3 or 4 Third Circle spells a Mage may need to sleep for as many hours before being capable of functioning normally. Without enough rest the caster will be unable to concentrate properly and may cast incorrectly. A simple Fireball may explode in the caster's face causing severe burns.

There is no set list of Combat Arts. Crew members may use their imagination within reason. Maybe I'll work on one later. I grow weary of lists.

As usual, any actions may be called foul and discussed.

Pirates Guide to Equipment...
Use your imagination on the enchantment within reason... Major godlike enchantments need the approval of the entire crew which you will most likely not receive.

Anyone may call foul to any item or action and it can be deliberated.

Each crew member may have all of the following equipped at one time and backups stashed away as they see fit:
2 rings
2 bracelets
2 ankle bracelets
1 necklace
1 hat/headband
1 pocket item
1 cloak
6 armour pieces
1 ranged weapon unless they are a mage
2 1-handed melee weapons if dual-wield capable / 1 2-handed weapon / 1 mage weapon
1 small secreted weapon (it is not required to tell the crew if you have a secreted weapon)

Enchantments:

Stat Enchantments:
Strength adds to how hard you hit with sword and bow.
Agility adds to accuracy, ease of movement, the ability to block and speed.
Wisdom adds to your ability to heal and adds to mana pool.
Intelligence aids spellcasting and adds to your mana pool.
Vitality adds to armour class and health points pool.


Minor enchantments include but are not limited to:
Night vision
Stat increases
Accuracy increases
Hit point or mana increases
Magical protection (halves the strength of magical and physical attacks)
Luck (makes you, uh... Lucky.)

Major enchantments include but are not limited to:
Additional abilities (i.e. a bracelet that allows the wearer to cast fireballs from their palms, etc.).
Summoning items (e.g. allows the wearer to summon an ally once per day that lasts for a short period of time, etc.).
Bound spell items (i.e. allows the wearer to cast a spell a certain number of times per day).

Note: each member may only have one item with a major enchantment.

Accessories:
Accessories are items which are separate from clothing and armour and are limited to each member equipping 2 rings, 2 bracelets, 2 ankle bracelets, 1 necklace, 1 hat/headband, 1 pocket item per crew member. If a crew member is wearing boots logic would dictate that they are unable to wear ankle bracelets.

Pocket items:
Pocket items are random pieces of enchanted junk that have special meaning only to the bearer. They include but are not limited to:
Pieces of amber.
Gems.
Crucifixes.

Pocket items may have minor enchantments or stat increases, and if approved by the crew they may have major custom enchantments.

Cloaks:
Cloaks include capes, shawls, wraps, scarves, and etc. They may be enchanted in similar ways to jewellery.

Hats/Headbands:
Hats and Headbands include basically anything that sits on your head within reason. They include but are not limited to:
Hats.
Headbands.
Circlets.
Crowns.
Diadems.
Barrets.
Hair clips.
A knight's lady's favor.
Crystals.
Crystallized Flowers.

Jewellery:
Jewellery includes bracelets, earrings, rings, necklaces and ankle bracelets.

Gold or Silver Jewellery is common but adds no bonus, it is just pretty and shiny.

Glimmering Gold Jewellery is very common but provide 1-2 stat increase, i.e. +1agi & +1str, or +2agi.

Platinum Jewellery is uncommon but provide 3-4 stat increase as well as a minor enchantment, i.e. +2agi & +2str or +3agi and 1 minor enchantment (limited to 2 items per crew member).

Adamantium Jewellery is quite rare but add 5-6 stat increase as well as 1-2 enchantments, i.e. +3str & +3agi or +6agi and 2 minor enchantments or 1 major enchantment (limited to 1 item per crew member).

Faceted Jewellery is any of the above metals (including attributes) with a setting of stones or gems and a custom enchantment (limited to 1 item per crew member).

Note: Bracelets can be worn on the ankle or the wrist.

Armour:
Light armour is clothing. It doesn't protect you too well, but doesn't weigh much either.
Medium armour is leather or chainmail. Fairly decent at protectng you, but it weighs more, so mages can't wear it as they usually have low strength.
Heavy armour is solid steel, iron, etc. plates. Great for protection but it weighs a ton, so only the strongest people can wear it. You also can't swim in it, which is bad if we start sinking.

Armour includes: breastplate, leggings, helm, shoulderpads, sleeves, bracers, gauntlets/gloves, shinguards, boots/sandals, shirt, pants, belt/sash.
Suit of light armour includes: head gear, shirt, pants, shoes, belt, gloves.
Suit of heavy/medium armour include: helm, breastplate, leggings, gauntlets/gloves, armguards of
some sort and boots.

Each crew member is limited to equipping 6 of the above armour pieces at any time. Each item counts, even if it isn't enchanted, with the exception of undergarments.

Any member may mix and match heavy/medium/light armour. However mage/druid may only wear light, ranger/rogue may only wear medium or light, warrior/cleric may wear any.

Armour enchantments are similar to the enchantments of jewellery.

Shields:

Shields are used to block attacks and used offensively with some move sets such as “Shield Bash”

Small shields include: Round shields, bucklers (up to 18 inches in length or diameter)
Medium shields include: Kite shields, Hoplite shields (up to 24 inches in length or diameter)
Large shields include: Tower shields (anything greater than 24 inches)

Weapons:
Weapons include ranged, close combat, heavy close combat, secreted and mage weapons.

Ranged weapons include: short bows, long bows, crossbows, throwing knives, shurikens, arrows, crossbow bolts, guns, bullets/gunpowder
[b]Guns[b]: guns are the same as bows except they require reloading after each shot, which takes longer than knocking another arrow. Pistols are one handed but have a shorter range. Any other gun requires two hands but has a greater range.
Close combat weapons include: one handed weapons such as short swords, maces, short spears.
Heavy close combat weapons include: two handed hammers, pikes, spears, lances.
Secreted weapons include: small weapons such as throwing knives, shurikens, needles/spikes (secreted weapons may be poisoned but not enchanted).
Mage weapons include: wands, staves.

You can create and name your own weapon within reason, all custom weapons must be approved via PM... Godlike weapons are frowned upon.

There isn't much room on the deck of a ship, so in most cases one handed weapons would be used. That means no huge hammers, staves, pikes, lances, etc..

Most sword hilts are plain and wrapped in leather to prevent slipping when the hand is wet with sweat or blood. Some swords may have wooden grips, or may be metal with wire braid wrapping it to prevent slipping. At the very end of the hilt there is occasionally found precious gems or ornate metal work. If you would like help creating a custom weapon, just ask, I'm sure I can help you find what you are looking for. Ornate and impractical weapons have ivory handles or gem encrusted hilts. Common sense would dictate that most swords would have a hand guard.

Examples of custom weapons:
Rapier of the Dawn: A one handed fencing weapon made from Adamantium. The blade is long and thin and glimmers with an enchantment. This item's special ability is to provide a light in dark places. When the weapon is in the dark it glows like the dawn, however this enchantment cannot be shut off and doesn't provide for much stealth.

Dark Mace: A one handed morning star made from hardened steel and and quenched in the River Stix. It glows faintly with a sinister black light and has a bone crushing enchantment. When enemies are struck with this mace, bones are crushed on impact. There is a large smokey gray quartz at the end of it's long handle.

Sword of Truth: A long thin blue blade with a sapphire encrusted hilt. The largest sapphire in the hilt is possessed with the soul of a long dead King who can guide the blade. This enchantment makes even the clumsiest swordsman seem like a sword master. However, the crux of the curse is that whenever the sword is on the bearers person they are unable to tell a lie, or even slightly bend the truth, the sword will not attack a being that is not evil or a direct threat to the bearer.

Cudgel of Life: A light oak wooden club much dented and stained from use. Just above the grip are faceted many small sparkling amethysts. This club has a spell enchantment: Twice per day the bearer may use Minor Healing and once per day they may use the Cudgel to resurrect a fallen ally.

Additional Notes:
- These lists are in now way definitive.
- All magic weapons can hit ghosts and other such insubstantial beings.
- Anything that says [quest] can only be gained during a quest.
- None of these items are available to us from shops or anything (except the Helm of the Ratslayer. Feel free to buy it at the next port we visit). We have to find them. No, you can't start with them, don't be stupid.
- When in doubt, ask Keke. Seriously, I don't know anything much this kind of thing.

Religion

Right, so, religion. Wow. This could go pretty badly, come to think of it. Maybe. Well, first things first: this isn't a monotheistic system. That would be ridiculous. No, it's polytheistic. Which I prefer. Polytheism has several good points, one of which is that you can have great big holy wars for a reason. No "My god exists and yours doesn't" stupidity, oh no. Instead we'll have "My god hates your god so I'm gonna kill you and destroy your temples," which is much better. More rational. Sort of. And, uh... Yes, polytheism.

Why Gods Exist:

The gods are the creators and sustainers of the universe. Without them nothing would exist.

Where the Gods Live:

The gods exist in a dimension known as the Immaterium, a realm of energy and little else, heavily influenced by the thoughts and feelings of the Materium, which is where we live. Within the Immaterium also dwell the various spiritual beings that one can summon. Here the gods fight, argue, ally, plot, scheme, and generally mess about. Through the gods the Immaterium is able to act on the Materium. The Immaterium has no concept of time or space.

The Wars of the Gods:

Usually a god will act in such a way as to benefit his followers. Unsurprisingly this can lead to a great many battles between the gods as their views and intentions often conflict. These battles can be fought in two ways. The first way is for the gods themselves to fight. This is often more than enough to settle most disputes, as in most cases the two gods are unevenly matched. If the deities cannot reach a conclusion to their fight then they will bid their followers fight instead, and who ever wins this fight will enjoy greater prosperity under their god.

Worshiping the Gods:

The way in which a god is worshiped depends upon the god, and styles vary greatly. Some involve nothing more than a small offering and a quick prayer, while others require elaborate services and complicated daily rituals. A worshiper of a god may receive one of his or her skills as a blessing, as well as other powers or items.

The Gods:

Name: Khorne
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Occupation: God of War and Anger

Age: Immortal
Height: 8'6"
Weight: 265lbs
Build: Heavy, large
Hair: Unknown
Eyes: Red

Equipment List:
Armour: Full Heavy Armour.
Jewellery: None.
Weapons: Great Axe.

Physical Description: Clad in all-enclosing crimson armour with bronze edging which he never removes, stained with the dried blood of innumerable warriors. The Mark of Khorne is engraved in bronze upon the breastplate. His helm has a single slit through which his red eyes can be seen glowing, and two large, curved bronze horns are on either side. In his right hand he holds a large axe. It has a steel shaft with a bronze handle at the base, and the head is a single slab of iron, secured to the shaft with two bronze pins. Khrone sits upon a throne of iron, surrounded by the bodies of fallen warriors as far as the eye can see.

Personality: Khorne is a god of rage and war. He respects those who fight and who die in combat, and watches over all battles, although he rarely intervenes. He despises magic, seeing it as dishonourable trickery. Khorne's anger burns fiercely against those who have sparked it, and when he is drawn to battle he does so with a roar that shakes the Immaterium to the core. When Khorne marches none stand in his path as he carves a bloody swathe through any and all opponents.

Skills:
Khorne's Fury: Khorne is subject to Frenzy. In addition he hates all enemies.
Bloodrage: In battle Khorne carves through enemies until there are none left. He will not stop fighting until every opponent is killed. In addition he will actively pursue fleeing enemies.
Might of Khorne: Khorne inspires terror in all opponents, and can kill in a single stroke.
Hatred of Magic: Khorne cannot be affected by magic.

History: Khorne came into being when Tzeentch created the universe, embodying the rage and fury that lied at its center. Since then he has fought many times with Tzeentch, and has come close to killing him on more than one occasion. He has also dueled with Thor several times, although these have been tests of strength rather than attempted fights to the death. Despite Thor's best efforts, Khorne has not lost a battle with him.

Prayer Method: Khorne is worshipped on the battlefield. Every soldier killed is an offering to him, and his attention is drawn to those who fight hardest and with the most courage.

Physical Description: Tzeentch's body is ever shifting, and he has no standard appearance beyond a basic humanoid structure, although this too is not always present. He wears a robe made of finest silk which constantly changes colour, shifting from one shade to the next. Around his neck hangs a gold chain with a silver pendant in the shape of his Mark. On his left hand he wears a platinum ring set with a sapphire, and on the right a gold ring set with a ruby. He carries a long wooden staff engraved with runes that has a large diamond set in the top. This diamond glows with the seven colours of the rainbow.

Personality: Tzeentch is the First God of Change, the Creator. It is he who pushes the universe ever onwards, causing the otherwise inexplicable events that lead to ever more impressive developments. Without him there would be nothing. He is a master of all magic, and can perform spells no mortal could ever attempt.

Skills:
Master of Magic: Tzeentch can use all magic, and his spells can only be dispelled by Khorne.
Ever Changing: Tzeentch constantly shifts from one form to another. Enemies have -1 Accuracy when attacking him.
The Guide: Tzeentch controls the future and guides it in its path. He can predict the future.

History: Tzeentch is the brother of Nurgle and Hades, who are collectively known as the Three Gods of Change. He created the universe as well as life, and has been responsible for nearly every major development in anything. He has constantly fought against Nurgle since the creation.

Prayer Method: Complicated spells and rituals coupled with self mortification and sacrifice.

Name: Nurgle
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Occupation: Destroyer, Second God of Change

Age: Immortal
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 132lbs
Build: Thin, wrinkled
Hair: Long, thin, white
Eyes: Pale blue

Equipment List:
Armour: Cotton shirt, cotton shorts.
Jewellery: Bracelet with Mark of Nurgle.
Weapons: None.

Physical Description: He looks like little more than a corpse. Bloated stomach and pale green skin, he is covered in wounds, sores and scars. He wears a torn and stained light grey shirt, the arms ripped back to the elbows, and a pair of equally damaged shorts that were once white. On his left wrist is a bracelet made of bleached bone with his mark. He sits slumped backwards in a chair made of rusted iron and splintered wood, surrounded by debris from the ages.

Personality: Nurgle is a broken god, who murmurs to himself and rarely acts on the world around him. However, within his mind he controls the destructive forces that bend steel and drain life, destroy technology and crumble rock. Calm and immobile, he absentmindedly challenges the powers of Tzeentch.

Skills:
Nurgle's Rot: Any who approach Nurgle immediately become infected with the most terrible diseases, soon being reduced to little more than dust.
Passive: Nurgle does not suffer from any psychological affects.

History: Nurgle is the brother of Hades and Tzeentch. When the universe was created he immediately began to destroy it, causing stars to collapse and worlds to reduce to nothing more than lifeless deserts. Tzeentch attacked him, and before Nurgle could react he was reduced to his current state. However, Nurgle still battles with Tzeentch within his mind, and so the two are at a constant stalemate, neither able to overcome the powers of the other. In the end though all things must come to an end, and so it is that Nurgle will triumph at teh end of everything.

Prayer Method: Self mortification.

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Occupation: God of Discord and Fear, Third God of Change

Height: 7'2"
Weight: 199lbs
Build: Medium
Hair: Pale blue, short, thin.
Eyes: Blue

Equipment List:
Armour: Robe, sandles.
Jewellery: Bracelet, necklace, ring.
Weapons: Longsword.

Physical Description: Pale skinned and intimidating, with sunken eyes and pointed teeth. He wears a black hooded robe and black sandles, and carries a black longsword in a hilt hanging on the belt of his robes to his left. Around his neck is a silver necklace, on his left wrist a silver bracelet, and a silver ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

Personality: Hades is the troublemaker. While Nurgle and Tzeentch try and push things in definite directions, Hades simply plays about, messing up both their plans with equal fervour, as well as those of any other god. He spreads chaos and confusion wherever he can, and keeps the world from changing as quickly as it otherwise would. He does this purely because he can.

Skills:
Hades' Gaze: Causes Terror in all enemies.
Unpredictable: Hades will randomly change sides in any battle entirely on whim.
Embodiment of Chaos: Such is Hades desire for confusion and strife that any enemies nearby will immediately attack the nearest target, friend or foe.

History: Hades is the brother of Tzeentch and Nurgle. At any point where Tzeentch or Nurgle try and exert their influence he has been there, stalling their efforts and effectively holding up the universe's progress for much of its history. Although the other gods have tried to destroy him they have been unsuccessful, as he has proved far too difficult to pin down.

Prayer Method: Sitting in a meditative and calm state before going completely nuts.

Driven by grief she struck out alone to find a place in the world. Not long after arriving in the capital city of Dublin she met Ervan, who took her under his wing. She became fast friends with Dani.

[Pink-kitty2]

Whoo!

Name: Kitsa Tangeforte [Kitsa is to coincide with "Kitty". It is a more effeminate version of Kit. The boy's and girl's name Kit \kit\ is pronounced kit. It is of English origin. Nickname for Christopher before Chris was used. Christopher Columbus named the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts for himself and Saint Christopher, the patron of travelers. Tangeforte is a portmanteau of tangible and forte. It is most likely of Italian origin, but is however completely fictional. It describes two aspects of Kitty. She does not distance herself from people, and she is strong. Maybe not in the physical sense, for her STR is 5, but she has a strong heart, and strong will.]

Skills: Basic cooking, basic gunpersonship, moderate swordspersonship, expert first aid.

History: Despite having a surname like Tangeforte, and being blonde, Kitsa is as Irish as the next Angus O'Reilly-McDublin. She was born and raised in Kilkenny, but recently left and headed to Dublin to find adventure. Arriving in Dublin, she most certainly found it. She met Ervan McNinja and promptly challenged him to a duel. Disappointingly, this duel ended in a draw. Every day, she came back to the city square and challenged Ervan McNinja to duels. Each time, the duel ended in a draw. One day, however, Ervan McNinja seemed distracted by someone in the crowd. A girl, probably 19 or 20. Admitably, the girl was fairly distracting. She had the brightest blonde hair that Kitsa had ever seen. Using this distraction to her advantage (I shan't bore you as to how), Kitsa beat Ervan McNinja. However, Ervan McNinja told Kitsa that he wanted to join a pirate crew, and asked if Kitsa had one. It was at this point that Kitsa realised what she could do for her adventure, and became a pirate captain, with Ervan McNinja as her First Mate. She then met Keke, the girl who had distracted Ervan McNinja. Keke became the Navigator of the shipless crew, and soon [DK's character] and [Hikari's character] showed up, fulfilling the positions of General Weapon Fodder and Cook, respectively.

OOC:

I suggest reading the introduction posts thoroughly before posting a profile.

Statistics

List your stats in your character profile with a limit of 25 base stats per character. Jewellery can add in and boost that later. We have no jewellery starting out.

4 is the minimum you can have in any stat. A maximum of 20 points may be placed in any stat. Anything lower than 4 intelligence would render you a babbling fool, lower than 4 agility would make you a bumbling oaf, etc.

Intelligence: Mage power and ability - adds to ones ability to use mage spells without growing weary, a minimum of 6 int is required to cast First Circle, 12 int to cast Second Circle and 20 int to cast Third Circle.
Strength: Melee power and ability - determines how hard you hit and skill with melee weapons
Agility: Ranged power and ability - determines speed, grace of movement, ability and how hard you hit with ranged weapons
Wisdom: Healer power and ability - adds to ones ability to cast heal spells without growing weary
Vitality: determines your health points. each point of vitality = 25 health points

Caster: Each point of intelligence or wisdom adds 2 power to your power pool. Spell costs vary, when your power is low you must rest to regain it. Resting 1 hour returns 25% of your power.

Ranged/Melee: Each point of strength or agility adds 2 power to your power pool. Combat Art costs vary, when your power is low you must rest to regain it. Resting 1 hour returns 25% of your power.

A mage would want higher intelligence, a druid/cleric higher wisdom, a ranger/rogue higher agility and strength, and a warrior higher strength and vitality. Most warriors are dumb as bricks and but strong and vital.

As we preform heroic acts our stats will increase. Periodically it will be announced that the entire crew receives (+1) to any stat of their choice at which time they must edit their profile.

I'm not sure if pirates would weigh themselves, this is all for mental imagery.

Start equipment is very simple weapons and clothing, better stuff will be gained as we go along.

This is implied but there isn't a specific post for it so here is this information also:

The classes are:

Casters:
Mage (offensive magic user, see spell list for details, may only wear light armour)
Druid (cleric/mage hybrid, see spell list for details, may only wear light armour)
Cleric (pure healer, may wear any armour but may not use offensive magic)

Ranged/Melee:
Warrior (proficient with any weapon except mage weapons, may wear any type of armour)
Rogue (warrior/ranger hybrid with some sneakiness thrown in, proficient with close combat and ranged weapons, may wear light or medium armour, dual-wield capable, thieves and assassins would chose this class, proficient and going unseen and backstabbing)
Ranger (proficient with close combat and ranged weapons, may wear light or medium armour, dual-wield capable, master trackers, works closely with nature, usually has an animal cohort of some sort)

[Keke Le Cat]

ooc:

You have 25 base stats, a minimum of 4 in each stat.

Intelligence: Mage power and ability
Wisdom: Healer power and ability
Agility: Ranged power and ability
Strength: Melee power and ability
Vitality: hit points

You put 4 in each one and have 5 to play with. You may place them anywhere you wish.

A mage would want higher intelligence, a druid/cleric higher wisdom, a ranger higher agility and strength, and a warrior higher strength, agility and vitality. Most warriors are dumb as bricks but strong and vital, mages smart but puny.

A rogue's agility or strength dictates their power pool, whichever is highest.

No class hybrids please, it'll just get confusing. Heh.

[Keke Le Cat]

OOC:

Druids are mage/healer hybrids and rogues are warrior/ranger hybrids with some nasty thrown in.

Besides, being able to write your own combat arts really allows for character customization.

If you want to write your own spells submit them for approval and have a custom caster too.

Arr, I be postin' a posthold, ye wee landlubbers.

[The Editor]

OoC: 'cause I don't have one yet Anyway, uh, I'm going to post up a profile once two conditions have been met. The first is that I get out of bed, and the second is that I play around with it a little. Anyway, that shouldn't be too hard, and then PK will know my name In other news, I know it says that you can PM me with questions too, but unless they're fairly simple you should really ask Keke. I don't know that much about these things.

History: A sparring partner of Kitsa Tangeforte, who's accompanying her on her adventures. Born in Dublin, he lived with his parents and two siblings until he turned fifteen, when he left to explore the wider world. He learned how to wield a sword when he ended up in Japan two years later, which is where he also received his katana. At the same time he was gifted a beautiful grey and red kimono, but this became heavily damaged during another adventure and so was replaced with a hanfu he chanced upon at a market in London, while the kimono has been carefully locked away. He prefers to wear the hanfu when using the katana rather than different clothing. After he returned from Japan he met Kitsa, who challenged him to a duel, which was inconclusive. Since then they have fought many times, and only once has Kitsa beaten him, although he does not accept this as he was distracted at the time. Despite this Kitsa has begun calling him Ervan McNinja in recognition of his skills at evading her. In the last year or so he has been learning how to use a gun with help from Camilla, as well as taking a crash course in first aid after his last adventure. He also discovered that setting himself on fire was an effective means of avoiding restraint during a bar-fight a few weeks ago.

[Keke Le Cat]

IC:

Keke crouches and waits near the edge of town in the pre-dawn dim for her party. The rally point was behind a tavern, the smell of cheap ale and wine strongly pervaded the narrow alleyway. Seemingly bored she flips her small throwing dagger into the air, then catches it by the hilt repeatedly.

She occasionally glances through the dirty, cracked window of the pub to eye the pile of coins on a gambling table. The gamblers had been at it for hours, drinking and dandling the serving wenches on their knees. They were obviously the worse for wear and slipping a few of those coins in her pocket would be an easy task. However, the bullyboys at the door had sharp eyes, and cudgels. As she continues to wait, she considers the risk and the reward. If caught, they likely wouldn't harm me too greatly, only drub me with their hilts and set me out by my ear. Thought Keke, Though a drubbing I can ill afford, with the task we face. She tried to focus her mind on the task at hand, but her eyes kept returning to the coins.

The day before she, Ervan and the Captain had spread word of Hikari's kidnapping throughout the places they frequented. I wonder how few will answer our plea for help with the rescue attempt? Keke thought darkly, frowning. Likely very few. And why should they risk their lives for the sake of some chit they've never met?

Keke fumbles the toss of her dagger and nicks the end of her finger. She re-sheaths her dagger and sulkily sucks the drop of blood from her finger. She settles in for the remainder of her wait with a slightly petulant frown marring her features.

[The Editor]

IC:

"Hi!" says Ervan, walking up to the bullyboys.
"Whadda ya want?" growls the one on the left.
"Just, y'know, a chat," replies Ervan.
"We don't do no chattin'," said the taller one on the right.
"Yea. Git movin'," adds the first.
"Well, er, do you think I could find someone to talk to inside?"
"Ah doubt it, but it's yer money ta waste." They stand aside, and Ervan enters the tavern.

The first thing he notices is the pile of coins on the table by the window. "I wonder if Keke's noticed those..." he murmurs to himself. He walks over to the bar and sits down.
"And what can I get you, dear?" asks the barmaid. Silver hair tied in a bun, faintly lined face and a red tartan dress, she reminds the rogue of just about every "I'm older than I look" grandmother he's ever seen. "I'll have a whisky and water, please."
"That'll be five pence, please."
"Rip off," thinks Ervan, but he smiles and hands the coins to her. He could always steal his change later, and he might not even need to if he could get a hold on some of that gold.

Several glasses later he's drunk and reckless enough to be coming up with a plan, and he thinks he's sober enough to pull it off. He casually glances over his shoulder at the game being played at the table by the window. After a minute or two he's worked out that they're playing five card poker. He knows how to play that. More importantly, he knows how to cheat without getting caught. He looks up at the window and notices a patch of white hair. "Oh good, Keke's right next to the window," he thinks. "If I screw this up, we might still get the gold after all." He finishes his glass of whiskey and stumbles over to the gambling club. "Hi. Can I play?"

[Keke Le Cat]

IC:

When Keke next glances through the window she notices Ervan sitting at the bar with a few empty glasses in front of him. “Fool,” she mutters under her breath, but the affectionate smile she wears belies the comment. Drinking on this of all nights... I guess I'll be pulling his biscuits out of the oven before they burn. She thought with amusement.

She set about covertly keeping an eye on the happenings within the pub.

[The Editor]

IC:

"Can you play?" asks the large man on the right. Ervan looks at him drunkenly. Balding, blue checked shirt, frayed leather javket, and muscles like an orc. Not a man to mess with, clearly, but Ervan isn't about to give up so soon.
"Sure I can play. I've been playing since I was ten."
"Can you bet?" asks someone on the left. From his voice he seems small, but such things varied with race. Ervan thinks for a moment. He doesn't have much on him, but he probably won't need much either, as long as he keeps his wits about him.
"Yeah, I can bet."
"Then take a seat," says the man in the blue shirt, pulling out a chair. "My name's Darren, and this is Jason and Mark," he says, pointing to the other two sitting on the opposite side of the table. "What's your name?"
"I'm, uh, Ervan." Dammit, he thinks. Never use your real name. Maybe I'm drunker than I thought.
"Well Ervan, do you feel lucky?"
"Yeah, I feel lucky."
"Then let's play."
They each put a shilling into the pot and drew five cards. Ervan looks at them. Three queens, a jack and an ace look back. A good hand. I might not have to cheat after all.
"So, do you want to raise?"
"Huh?" Ervan looks at Steve. Or maybe Mike, he isn't sure. "Oh, uh, yeah, I'll raise." He throws another shilling in.
"I'll raise you one," says Darren, adding his money to the pile. Steve and Mike met it.
"Well?" asks Darren, turning to Ervan. Ervan looks in his pouch. Two shillings and five pence glint in the candle light. "Yeah, I'll meet it." He threw in another shilling.
"Good." Darren puts two cards down and draws two, the others following suit. Ervan discards his jack and draws a card. It's an ace. Ervan smiles in his head. Lucky him...

Kitsa walked into the pub and squinted through the smoky air to see Ervan. Suddenly she saw him. Of course, he was sitting with some other men, playing cards. Sliding up behind one of the men, she glanced at the cards.
Four tens? Great...
Kitsa tried to catch Ervan's eye, but it was no use, and she had run out of her level eighty female-only persuasion spells for the day.

Of course, Ervan's ego probably wouldn't have let him realise anyway. Kitsa gave up and slumped down next to Keke.
"So. Any news on [mysterious character whom we only know as Hikari]'s location? Damn goblins. Just hope they don't ask for money or anything. Then there might be a bit of genocidin' going on..."

As the tavern wench lady walked past, Kitsa signed her over.
"I need a Ruby Bliel. Clean glass. No fucking spiders this time."

IC:

Peering through the window she watched Ervan palm a card with exasperation. Damn. Double damn. He's never going to pull that off with a bellyfull of whiskey... I better head in. With that thought Keke stood and quickly removed her weapons and placed them in her backpack which she stashed behind a stack of empty kegs. She loosened her hidden throwing dagger in it's sheath before walking around the corner of the bar.

As she approached the entrance to the bar she added a sway to her walk. “Hello, boys.” Said Keke in a husky voice with an inviting smile on her face. The two bouncers moved aside without a word, they knew their job and it wasn't to talk to the ladies. However, that didn't stop them from getting an eyefull as she walked past.

Keke sauntered over to the bar with a walk designed to draw every male eye and leaned against it, eying the gambling table. She caught the gaze of the man in the blue checked shirt and wiggled her fingers in a wave. He gave her an odd look before wiggling his fingers in the same manner. She smiled as she thought, Fat fool... Ervan better appreciate this. Yet the ruby in that ring is not insubstantial.

Sparing a single glance for the Captain as she arrived, Keke listened intently, still smiling at the ruby ringed fat fool.

"Never fear, Captain. We'll make easy work of those Goblins and have her back before sunset."

"I'm raising," says Darren, throwing another shilling in.
"Fold," sighs Mike, showing his cards. Steve looks at his cards thoughtfully. After several seconds he shrugs and adds another shilling to the pile. Ervan's turn. His first instinct is to raise it, but he doesn't know how much the others have. So, meet it? He has enough. But what if he loses? He won't have a shilling to put in. Then again, he doesn't have enough if they raise it next game anyway. "Okay, I'll meet it." He throws in his last shilling. Darren turns over his cards. Four tens. Good thing I have another queen.
"Four of a kind!" says Darren, laughing.
Steve curses and shows his two pairs. Ervan knows he only has a few seconds before they'll turn to look at him. He moves his left hand behind his right, switches an ace for the queen, starts sliding it up his sleeve, fumbles, and watches it fall onto the table.
"'Ere, what's this?" asks Darren, looking at the card.
"Nothing to do with me," replied Ervan.
"Sure it ain't. You've been trying to cheat on us!"
This isn't good, thinks Ervan. He looks behind him and sees Keke and Kitty. Keke? He stares at her with a puzzled look, but is jolted back to reality by a firm grip on his arm.
"Cheat!" says Darren, eyes narrowed and muscles bulging.

[Pink-kitty2]

Great. Just brilliant.

EDIT: Okay, either I'm more tired than I thought, or Ervan just did what he does best and edited that post.

[Keke Le Cat]

Keke sways over to the table and places a hand on Bald Fat Guy's arm as the bullyboys begin to take notice. “Is there a problem here, handsome?” She smiled around the table, pausing to make brief eye contact with the other two players, completely ignoring Ervan.

She pushes the cards and coins toward the center of the table thoroughly messing up their order and perches on the edge, “I do love a masterful man.” Keke raises her eyebrows and smiles coyly at Bald Fat Guy, placing a foot firmly on Ervan's fallen card.

“What's happening here, eh?” Said one of the bullyboys as the two approach. Keke gracefully slides off the table and turning, scoots backward, keeping the card firmly under her foot.

Name: Dani

Alias: DK. (I don't really care what you call me)

Race: Human/Devil

Gender: Female

Nationality: Irish/German

Alignment: Borderline Evil? (not sure what alignment is)
Alignment determines your actions. I'm pretty sure we're using basic D&D alignment. Good, Neutral and Evil. I'm also using Chaotic, Neutral and Lawful, but just stick with Good, Neutral and Evil. You'd probably be Neutral.

Class: Uh, mage maybe?
With those stats? I don't think so. If you want to be a mage, emphasise on Int.

Occupation: Beating the virtual crap out of stuff. (zombies, ninjas, etc)
You job on the boat, if you please.
Intelligence: 4
You're a mage, that should be 6.
Wisdom: 4
Probably a 5.
Agility: 5
Strength: 4
Vitality: 4
Probably a 5.
Basically, your stats should add up to 25. You need to have decent Int because you're a mage, and strength isn't really needed for a mage. Unless you're a battlemage, but that's not a profession.

I think those were a bit off.

Well, I had no idea what most of those were to be honest, so we'll go with your version. Heh.
