So yeah.. a while back i did a pirate rp, personally it was good, and a fun subject for a Rp :P
Basically, the last time i did it it ended up being dragged down to ther bottom of ther sea because i didnt really introduce any story or motives for posting unfrotunately :/
This time around, if i end up starting it i'l make sure that is not the case... so yeah, basically i'm just wondering if anyone would be interested in it?
(Ive got a storyline sorted out, along with how that will affect rp'ers, also i got character sheet stuff worked out pretty much, so i'm just seeing if anyone would want to do it)
Also, i guess at this time i could ask if anyone wanted to help GM this rp or somthing, due to the fact that when i can get on the laptop to post is kinda limited, if anyone is interested give me a shout and i'l appreciate the help :3
-
OMG YES, I want to be in this one. Aye aye el capitan, I would love to be aboard the Kitt Express! I'm interested to give the GM position a go if you'd like :P. I manage my boss's business at work often and I do a lot of online and phone business transactions, but yes I'm just entry level.
-
Haha, i had a feeling my favourite wolgon would be interested :P
And yeah, i'd be happy for you to help GM... to be honest your on more than me XP .... So it would help a lot :3
Right, well i dont have time to post any details tonight.... So tomorrow (i got the day off, seeing as im on study leave and dont have to go into school ^_^ ) i'l post up some additional info mainly story-wise so people can see whether theyd be interested (I'm gonna make sure the story plays a much bigger part, and also the rp'ers themselves play a much bigger part in the story too!)
-
the problem I had in the previous Pirate RP (i'm pretty sure it was yours) was that everyone had to be a gun-toting avast ye, covered in cutlasses and shooting musketballs out of their fingers. Anyone deviating from that gets ignored. Personally, I've always been one to find something that nobody else is doing and fill that gap with my character. In the pirate one, it was some crazy old shipwreck diver who wasn't that great at fighting anymore. His strength was in his personality and his experience. He would have been a great character in a straight story, but he's like an NPC in an MMO.
-
Dont worry Asia, i noticed that in the first version of this rp (yeah it was mine)... and i'm hoping to sort that out... I cant post anymore cos i gotta go... but that is a problem i wish to fix...
Gotta go, cya in the morning me-hearties :P
-
Aye aye Captain! *Salutes* I loved the first RP, but I lost interest after the preliminary battle went on for so long and I believe it was the very first Serious RP I had been a part of on TFF x.x
-
I'm totally on board with a pirate RP! I'm like a... die hard pirate irl XD
I'm always doing the argh's and the pirate lingo :P
Anywho... lemme get into character...
Aye, what a fine proposal ya got here. If anyone objects I say we send those scurvy sea dogs to Davey Jone's Locker!
-
Arrgh, this be a brilliant idea me hearty!
I'd love to try it out, it seems a fun genre at the same time awesome and serious. I say pirate RP is one of the greatest RP ideas ever.
I don't know how active I can be since my laptop use is limited also..... but thats just at the moment, I should be able to find a way to work this out.
-
ARE YOU JOSHING ME?
*fangirl squeal* Mikuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....!
Pirates? PIRATES? BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!
I will definatley be in this if you do it.
-
Haha, glad so many people are interested :P
And White, that was the first serious RP i'd ever started or managed... ever XP
Right, well i've had a thought... i've written up the character sheet stuff in a word doc.... but, there are two ways we could take this rp...
a ) We have one LARGE ship... i think this would focus the rp more... everyone would be crew on said ship, and there would perhaps be one captain or somthin'
b ) We do what we did before, and everyone can be their own captain or whatever they want.... however i'm now kind of unsure about that, and i think perhaps the first option would focus the Rp...
So yeah, seeing as you will be the guys in the Rp... this one is on you... I'd be happy to run the Rp either way ^_^
-
I think the S.S. Slovak Destroyer sounds good, one ship and all the swashbucklers!
-
Okay, one vote for having a single ship...
If we did it that way... we could have everyone as having just joined up as crew or somthing... and i'm currently working on the overall storyline, so whatever you guys decide on i'l have that ready :P
Post Merge: May 27, 2010, 06:37:18 PM
Well Moongaze also liked the idea of a single ship.... so I think i'm gonna go with that.... i gotta exam 2morrow so i dunno when i can post, but i'm just finishing all the character sheet and storyline stuff....
-
single ship is probably the best way to go with this.
-
Here ya go fellow pirates!

Okay, well before i have to go and finish revision 4 tomorrow...
The basic idea i had for a story, was kinda like in the first version of this rp... There are two 'factions'... The furs (aka: Captain Jack style pirates) ... And the East India Corporation, (aka: humans/the red-coats of the Caribbean)....
The furs have one large pirate port, that so far has proven to be hard to destroy, the East India troops have attacked it twice before, and been beaten by the sheer number of pirates and ships localised to this single port.... However, several things of great importance where found by the Humans, and immediately rushed to the adimiral (leader of the East india fleet)....
On the way, one of the messenger ship was attacked by pirates, and a map was found under guard by the captain of the ship itself, it seems to have been one of a number of such maps, at least one other of which the Admiral now has.... The map found by the pirates, leads to an island fourty leagues or so away from the port, and according to the scrawled instructions on it another clue will be found at the island..... If pieced together several of these maps will point to a single... thing.... exactly what it is i'm not gonna reveal for now ;)
-
Ooooh Pirates sound fun. Count me in! If you don't have a assistant yet then I'll gladly help out.
-
the red-coats of the Caribbean
Butlins?
-
Cool Stuff Entaru :P And though i already said White could help Gm... I'd be happy for your help too if thats alright, the more input this gets the better hopefully....
And no Asia... not Butlins ;)
Anyway... Character sheet time.... For the moment this is just so u can get any ideas of what you'l have now... and also to make sure everyone happy with it.....
SO! You think what ya got what ya need to be a pirate? Well prove it here n' now lad! Fill out this eer form and ya can be on yer way, setting sail and plundering as much riches are yer can carry in those scrawny arms o’ yours!

As far as weapons go... try not to overload it okay guys?
That looking good?
The next thing is the ship itself... i was thinking of actually doing a slightly smaller ship (like a schooner) which could be sailed by a crew of minimum five or so people... how would people be with that?... Or would you guys prefer somthing bigger?
-
That looks good! Character sheet short sweet and to the point. As far as the ship goes, I'm ok with that. I mean... we can always do the pirate thing and steal a bigger on if we have to. :P
-
I was gonna say get a bigger ship, but stealing one seems like a great, more piratey, idea. (if piratey were a word) And the character sheet is good.
-
I think with three GMs the ability to stay watchful is more available as we all get on at different times of the day. I'll make a character sheet after work.
-
That sounds like a good idea actually. I'm up to making a character sheet now... :P
Just gotta make the bio interesting...
-
Whooo! People like the idea ^_^
Anyhoo... like i said this at the moment is a thread for sorting out the rp before we start... feel free to post any characters here... and when i make the real OOC thread i'l make sure to copy n' paste them all onto there for ya :P
Hmm... anyhow... how would people be, if the captain of the ship was kinda halfway between an NPC and PC character... eg.... i'l control him for now, but maybe very early in he could get killed?.... Which would obviously lead to a big question of "Who runs the ship?"
Uh, yeah thats just an idea... if anyone else has any ideas on the captain and anything else give a shout!... preferably with an AAArrr, at the end of your post :P
-
That's not a bad idea...
If not death, maybe a mutiny could take place. Ya know... good 'ol out with the old, in with the new. Only ina more piratey manner. Argh!
-
Aha! Mutiny it is yah scurvy dog! :P
Yeah... i'l write up the character sheets for the ship and captain, as well as some story stuff... lets get this pirate rp on the road... Aaaaar! ^_^
-
Yes! Moar pirates! Yargh! I be wantin' ta set sail on the open sea and send any dirty landlubber down to Davey Jone's Locker! :D
-
*White flips open his strange looking knife from the land of the Philiporcupines* They call it a butterfly knife rawr, it's been since the 1600s ya scurvey sea dogs... cats, foxes, and rabbits!
-
Wewf?
More like... Butterfly cutlass! :P
-
Name: White Forest *If you get the reference, I'll give you a tiramisu nom*
Age: 19
Race: Arctic anthro wolf
Height: Short stature at 5' 4"
Weight: 145lbs
Appearance: Wears a white cloth tunic, large black coat and some khaki shorts with several pockets.
Weapon: Butterfly knife and ball bearing sawed-off double-barrel shotgun
Pirate Skill: Agility and butterfly knife training
Bios: A scurvey wolf of his own, White Forest comes from a rough urban area and had to survive off of petty crimes to get by in his time living or better yet to be considered surviving on needs alone while growing up. Abandoned as a child, he trained himself to do what he had to do to stay alive and learned how to use a knife efficiently eventually leading to his choice of the not-so-common butterfly knife. Much of his background remains unknown to himself as he hopes to discover more about the family he never knew.
-
Well... looks good White.... I'm guessing your guy is a bit of a 'landlubber' ... as in he hasnt spent much time on ships before seeing as you said he came from a urban area... should be an interesting character :3
And by the way... i had this conversation with White on Msn... when it comes to weapons, they dont have to be completely accurate to the time... for instance butterfly knives and that particular gunpowder weapon didnt exist at the time... but as long as its all in the pirate spirit, and it isnt overpowered most things are fine ;)
Just a coupla pics of random pirate weapons for inspiration guys: :P

Happy Character making! .... i'm busily doing the ship and captain character sheets as well as working out story stuff...
-
Rawr! It's gonna take me awhile to reload :P
-
Okay, heres mine.
Name: Terry Bear (this is because my real life last name derives from the German word for bear.)
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Species: Siberian Tiger
Weapons: A pirate gun similar to the one in the picture, just as a last resort, and a sword as my main weapon.
Clothing/appearance: No shirt, pants, a belt with my gun holster, sword, and my belt buckle is a strange symbol, but the symbol is just always part of my fursona.
Bio: This should be interesting..... lets see......
It mostly starts with turns of bad luck, I was always smart and nice but somehow nothing turned out right. After failure after failure I just gave up and snapped, then I was outcasted from civilization and with nothing but a boat and short food rations I finally found a large ship owned by humans. Didn't end well for them even though I used moves more suited of ninjas then pirates, so I had this boat and no crew or anything, but I had rations and after screwing with it was able to get back to land that belonged to furs. Then I realized I could only feel great out at the sea so I got meself a manageable boat and some weapons, and that's how I became a pirate.
Personality: When I first meet people unless I can sense their similar enough to me simply from the air of their personality I seem like an emotionless social outcast, but when I make friends I'm loving and caring. Not innately brave but the more I force myself to work the more headstrong I become, and the more I fail the less.
Well that seems good enough.

Name: Dixon Yote
Age: 30
Sex: Male
Species: Coyote
Weapons: Three flintlocks, a large hunting knife and a little old pocket knife, mostly blunt, with a mostly wooden basic handle.
Clothing/appearance: Short straggly hair, like rats tails. cloth tunic covered in gun holsters. a short, red, heavy jacket. Cloth trousers, strapped at his ankles. Guitar on his back.
Bio: Grew up most of his life on a merchant ship after his parents died and his uncle took him in. They visited various countries, and many types of music. He visted the moors, whose various cultures invented the guitar. He took it up and started trying his own tunes, mixing pirate and anglo european sound with more far reaching influences. He showed a great knack for it, and his experience on a ship means he's a competent sailor, though most ships hire him over more capable sailors, simply for his entertainment value.
Personality: Centred, he's had a fair many knocks but these have moulded him more than damaged him. Often he tries to keep the peace, and act as therapist for the crew. His music is his own therapy, and his true voice. He likes to bring the world he has seen into the songs he sings. The good, the bad, the strange and unknown. He especially loves the still as yet unknown and in his spare time, experiments with newer forms of music.

Nice to have you aboard Asia and you too Bro :)

Well I've never been one to refuse a second chance to something. I wanna see how this one is different to the previous

Weapons: Blunderbuss and a Cutlass. Sometimes carries black powder bombs.
Clothing/appearance:Tall, gangly, with snow white fur and very long ears that stand straight up. He wears no shoes or shirt, and wears baggy red pants with an unbuttoned red coat.
Bio: Spending most of his life as a shipwright's son, Entaru found employment as an on-board repairman. However, he is starting to get restless in his occupation and wishes for a better life than what he has been alotted with.
Personality: A brash, cynical, and smart-mouthed braggart, but good at heart. He does what is nessacery to get the job done.
-
Well i may or may not be out for the whole day with some friends at a festival thing.... so i'l try and finish posting up everything as soon as i can (including the real OOC thread and Rp thread) :P Thank you for being patient ya scurvy dogs!
Okay, ii had some time just now... so i finished the character sheets for the captain, my own character and the starting ship... note that the captain should be mutinied at some point and if you guys want new ships can always be found on the high seas ;)
Name: Cap’n Black-Jack
Age: ? He never tells his true age... though it is obvious he is getting rather too old for pirating.
Sex: Male
Species: Old Timber Wolf
Weapons: A long and very elaborate sabre, two flintlocks and a pair of curved daggers, along with any rum bottle he can smash over your head.
Clothing/appearance: A black captains hat he stole from the previous owner, black waistcoat, black trousers, black everything... His fur used to be a dark tan, but is now becoming grey.
Bio: Jack, used to be a no-life, thieving, drunken pirate with a mean streak... Now, thirty years on, and Cap’n Black-Jack is still just as drunk, even meaner and with his own ship. Well known for having a bottle of rum on him at all times, and for his particular mean streak when drunk, even to his own crew...
Personality: Cap’n Black as he has now become known, is a tongue slicing, cruel and rather heartless Pirate, having grown up through life and hated it, he has a particular mean streak that made him force almost his whole crew to walk the plank. This had the minor set-back of meaning his ship had no sailors, and so he set off for the nearest port ready to find more lacklustre men...
Name: ‘Savvy Kitt’
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Species: Feline
Weapons: A long Falchion blade, a flintlock he rarely uses and several throwing axes also used when boarding ships.
Clothing/appearance: Kitt wears rather untraditional Mediterranean pirate clothes, having been a European pirate as a youngster, his clothing choice reflects this. A faded blue bandana faded blue waistcoat and an old linen shirt. Dark Tan trousers, a very thick leather belt and he also wear a navy blue scarf tied round his waist.... Kitt’s fur is a light brown/grey with typical European stripes....
Bio: ‘Savvy Kitt’ grew up aboard a European buccaneer’s ship. Cap’n Black-Jack went on one of his long and eccentric voyages, far out of the Mediterranean to plunder and pillage the ships further north. One such ship was the Savvy Roger, with all the crew dead, Cap’n Black went below deck to find their supply of rum, and instead he found a young cabin boy huddled amongst the barrels. With a moment of curious friendship, Cap’n Black took the child aboard his ship, and took him in as a son. No-one has ever known why he spared Kitt’s life, except for Cap’n Black himself....
Personality: Kitt is adventurous, unruly and in a way rather like his adopted father... though without the excessive drunkenness and without the reputation. Excitable, young and a pirate on the high seas has led to him growing up to be a true Savvy sailor...
Name: The Black Fang
Age: The wood is starting to buckle, and the mast has been replaced more than fifty times, all in all... this is a ship at the end of its tether...
Type: Schooner- The two-mast schooner is a favourite of the Caribbean and Atlantic pirates. With many of the same features of the sloop such as terrific speed, manoeuvrability, and gun capacity, this swift ship was first built in the 1700's with a narrower hull and a shallower draft of only 5 feet. This meant it could easily take a large haul and 75-man crew further inland to hide or to divide the booty, but a smaller hold stored fewer spoils.
Weapons: Several small cannons, mostly it relies on boarding attacks and swift speed rather than outright firepower.
Appearance: The hull is made of a dark oak, along with the dark charcoal grey sails, this is where the ship gets its name, and is a testimony to Cap’n Black’s strange affinity with the colour of his namesake. The ship is low to the water, and cuts through waves like a knife through a stomach, it bears a single battering ram at the prow of the ship that is made of a black-stained iron, from which the ship gets its name of ‘Black Fang’... The ram is used to smash into a larger ship, and pin the Black fang to it, making it easier for boarders to leap across.... Cap'n black prefers this smaller ship due to it's extreme speed and ability to go farther inland and up river than most ships... perfect for plundering loot!

If it's not too late I'd like to join in. I know... A week ago I was totally onboard (Argh!) but... I never took into account 3 days after this thread was made I was going to Maine! Even though... I made a thread myself... I digress... Anyway, back to this topic: I'd like to put up my character sheet if you guys haven't done anything too special yet.
Name: Jacob "Gunny" Smith
Age: 19
Species: Red fox
Weapons: A sharp cutlass and an old pistol that never fails.
Clothes/appearance:Average height, long ratty unkept brown hair that goes down to the neck, a red vest, and beat up black pants with a make shift pistol holder tied to his waist made out of rope and a leather pouch. Sometimes wears a bandanna.
Bio: Jacob came from a wealthy family, but had developed quite a mean streak and a thirst for danger. He never looked at the ritzy life style as something he could conform to. A life of petty crimes and eventually killing was much better to him. He grew up knowing many shipwrights and ship builders as his father had powerful connections to nearly every enterprise. He knew his way around a ship quite well. He picked up the Nickname "Gunny" as he had a tick to draw his pistol and shoot at the first sign of danger. He joined Captain Black-Jack because he had a price on his head, and no where to go.

Well the actual RP ooc thread and RP thread have both been set up .. OOC here --> http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=11956.0 (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=11956.0)
So if you could just copy your character onto there then you can go ahead and post your intro in the Rp, and consider yourself onboard skipper! :P
I think i need to delete this old thread :/
