Edit: Due to a number of factors, I'm calling off this RP for the moment. I may decide to do it at a future date, but at the moment I'm just not up to it. Apologies to all.

What this thread is for is to advertise a series of chat RPs I'll be running over the summer holidays (July through to September). As you can probably tell, it'll be all about piracy, plundering and swigging rum with a good lass on your lap. Among other things, of course. I've been toying and working on this idea for some weeks now, and have already approached a couple of people via IM about this. However, at this point I need to grab a full compliment of PCs (6 of them, or there abouts) before I can progress. Also, note that this will be a Phil Sys RP.

The party will be the leading members (more or less) of a single pirate vessel which has recently signed on as privateers with Barius after their popularity with the other pirates that sail the seas in the area took a severe turn for the worst. Either existing or new PCs may be used, although the former need a good reason to be working aboard the pirate ship. Perhaps they signed on when the ship was docked in more accessible harbors, or were already in Barius. Characters who hold a significant amount of loyalty to the crown of Doma need not apply. What I need, in terms of PCs, are listed below.

2 Barian "officials"
1 Captain

2 of the following -
Quartermaster
First Mate
Master Gunner
Boatswain
Surgeon
Master Carpenter
Boarding Party Leader

I believe that Shini and Bes will be filling the rolls of those working for the Barian government. If either of you no longer wish to do so, please post here. As for anyone who wants to play the captain, they'd almost certainly need to create a new character and contact me via IM and e-mail (jaksnide@hotmail.com) to hammer out exactly what happened that resulted in them and their ship resorting to work for Barius. They'd also need to be able to control the crew of the ship and keep themselves in power; hence charisma is needed, since an uninspiring captain will most likely be voted out of his position and marooned as soon as he makes his first mistake.

If you do decide to make a new character, keep in mind what life at sea is like. They'll most likely have ranks in [s]Sailing, be able to keep their balance on deck, be able to climb the riggings of a ship and perform any specialist duty well. The ability to navigate or act as a helmsman would also be desirable.

Finally, anyone who wants to take part must be available on a weekly basis. While I imagine that the day of the week will remain static for the most part it may fluctuate a little to accommodate people who can't make it for special circumstances. Also, as I mentioned above, while I'm looking for 6 PCs, I may be able to take one or two more.

Tempting.

I'll consider it. <p>--------------------

Pete would make a fine addition, I'd think. His reason could possibly be that he's not too bright (normally) and in port one day he couldn't find his way back to his normal ship (The White Pirate's Wrath. Part of Pervy's old crew, you see.), and so he signed on for the first ship he found that was taking on crew. You know, to fill the time while trying to find his regular ship. It might not sound logical, but it makes perfect sense if you happen to be Pete.

I'm not sure which position he'd hold at the moment, I'll get back to you on that, and with the exception of the days that I'll be out of town, mondays and fridays are completely free for me. <p>

Pete would make a fine "surgeon," what, with his white magic and all.

I'd like to join in on this with Abby, that wacky Beldad lady I told you about. More information to come, after I talk some stuff over with you and finish her sheet.

I'd love to do this, if you'll have me. It may take me a day or two to make up a new character, but I'll post in this thread when I'm done. Is there any particular position on the ship you want filled? If so, I can probably tweak the character into someone who would fit that particular position.

Fill any position that's open. Also, there's no need to rush character creation. The RP won't be starting for another 5 weeks or so.

Thank goodness. *will take his sweet time, then* <p>--------------------

You know I'm up for this, Jak. I was born up for this. I will probably die up for this.

You'll die when I tell you too >:

Ooh! Can I tell him to die? Always wanted to try that out... <p>--------------------

Greetings,I would really like to join this RP.(possibly as boarding party leader if the position is still open)
So far I have only been in a freestyle RP,and I wouldn't want to slow things down for others due to lack of Philsys experience.
If you will have me I will make another Philsys character(first was native to Doma) as soon as possible so there will be plenty of time to fix him(with the guidance of any available and willing veterans) if I mess up.

Will attend to your character in the CC forum in a moment. No major problems, from what I can see after a read through, though.

Any free slots still?

Since I haven't made up my mind on who's in and out at this point, sure! Also, for everyone interested, the captain's role is still up for grabs.

Still working on my character, but she's looking like first mate. Any objections?

A carpenter. Or something. Need to talk to Jak about it just a tad bit before I am accepted for anything. <p>

Surgeon works. He might also be able to help out some with carpentry, if they don't mind the ship eventually looking like some sort of foliage zerg. <p>

As long as he never utters the line "kekekekeke~!" I won't have a problem.

As for the carpenter, taking a look at him now.

Edit: Also, since I have failed to note so before, I'll be using the following rules along with what's been put on the website thus far.

Multiple Melee Attacks - See the Phil Sys Adendum thread in the CC forum.

Finished my character. It's over in the Character Closet.

I hate to be a thread necromancer, but I liked this idea and hope Mr. Jak hasn't forgotten it... <p>--------------------
