The Golden Age- Revival Anyone?

Postby Strafe » Fri Aug 13, 2010 11:08 am

So, my RP, the Golden Age is sort of Sitting there aimlessly, and it seems a few people want in, so I'm reopening it for action again. Here is the original premise:

---

Arrgh? Shiver me timbers? Avast me hearties... uh... sure. Alrighty then. So this is my second ever RP, inspired in part by Pirates of the Caribbean, and Phantom Sorano's RP from along time ago, Pirates of the galaxy, which was the first RP I ever got into...

Now the subject is... Pirates! and well, this is my first actual indefinite RP, so there really is no end, and not much of an overlying plot. There will be plot arcs, but none of them will be entirely conclusive.

---

Story: The year is 1718, and the tropical waters have become a dangerous place. British trade ships have been known to disappear without a trace, only to reappear months later, taken over by an unruly bunch of murderous men. They called them pirates. The great demons of the seven seas, striking fear in the hearts of men who foolishly come before them.

Since the great influx of piracy, the British Empire has taken it upon itself to combat the disorder, and bring an iron fist of judgement upon all who seek to cheat life by stealing. For the sake of the law does the British Navy sail, and to protect the people from harm.

But the pirates must make a living for themselves, and say that the cruel world's fate has brought them no choice but to take what they rightly deserve... and then some. Money must be made somehow.

Even still, law and livelihood are not the only factors at stake. Greed, pride, honor, and even revenge haunt both the pirates and navy, who have lost much in the great struggle for wealth, and seek to gain much in return.

It is in these turbulent waters that we find our story.

---

So, not nearly as philosophical as my first RP, and much more accessible and broad. Hoping for a more... abundant turnout than last time. Its a massive scale RP, so there needs to be alot of people. If needed, I will postpone the start date until there are enough people, so get your friends.

While its big, its not as committal, unless you entangle yourself in the plot too much. Only take on what you can handle.

Here's a character sheet:

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Crew Affiliation and aspiration: (Who they fight for/ under and why. And what position they are in the crew)
Appearance: (Encompasses Height, Weight, Hair, Eyes, Skin, Clothing style, Piercings, etc.)
Personality:
Background:
Vice: (A little special parameter. Something that they cannot resist, such as drinking, women, or even perhaps bloodshed.)

There will be three main affiliations. Pirates, the British Empire, and Neutral. You either plunder ships for whatever reason, arrest pirates for whatever reason, or be neutral, meaning merchants and civilians.

There are no aliens... sorry. Or magic. Just guns, cannons, and blades, and whatever else is possible in the 18th century.

You can control NPCs, as in unimportant crew members, shop clerks, and bar maids, or other non essential ships.

And it would be cool if actual historical pirates could be played. Like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Captain Kidd, but feel free to simply create your own pirates. These people could always be NPCs or alluded to.

So yeah... that's all I have for now.

---

Basically, as said above, you can do whatever you like. Jump in how you like and whatnot. The current plot is circling around the execution of Stede Bonnet, and you can choose to take part in that, and whoever is returning can do continue it. But the plot isn't necessary to the RP.

Use the Character Template Above to create a new character. Returning Players, you can find your old templates in this thread:

http://www.christiananime.net/showthread.php?t=55568

Please Copy and Paste them so that new Players have an easy reference to them and don't have to go to the old thread.

Other than that, looking forward to see who joins up.

My Characters:

Name: Jonathan Hartford

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Affiliation and Aspiration: Upstart Pirate Captain. Seeks to avenge his family name, find his brother, and pick up beautiful women on the way.

Appearance: Wears a Trademark Top Hat and suit everywhere he goes, carries a bootleg-self-modified-rifle. White, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, tall and slender.

Ship description: Sylvienne is a scrapped Garbage barge that he managed to fix. The only thing it can really do is sail. It has no guns.

Background: The son of a successful businessman, Jonathan grew up living the spoiled sheltered life of a London affluent, along with his brother Caine. As the affairs of Piracy and such meant nothing to him, His father turned a blind eye to the various threats he recieved from pirates. This would mark the downfall of the Hartford Name. In less than a week of a specifically unusual threat, Jonathan's Father was brutally murdered before his eyes after seeing his fortune fall away in mere days, and Caine was captured and forced to enlist in the pirate's crew. Left in one piece, strangely, Jonathan picked himself up and buried his father, swearing on his grave that he would avenge him and his name. However, he was left with a major problem- He had no idea what a Pirate was in the first place. In a humorous blunder, he set off into the vastness of the seven seas in search of the pirate with his trusty first mate Song, captaining the grand Sylvienne.

Personality: Jonathan is a happy go-lucky womanizer who forgets all the time that he is dead broke, whether he is buying flowers for some random girl, or attempting to buy a chocolate factory for his first date. This constantly backfires when he is arrested for public disturbance when they find his currency is not even real in the first place. On the outside, Jonathan could not be enjoying life any more. However, as Song could attest, he harbors very dark feelings unbefitting of his external appearance. So dark, perhaps, that it could consume him and everyone around him. It is with this mindset that Jonathan finds himself, trapped in the treacherous world.

Vice: Jonathan cannot resist a beautiful woman, foremostly. But aside from that, he does not respond well to correction, has a terribly inflated ego, and is an amateur inventor of guns that rarely work.

---

Name: Song Yin Yue

Gender: Female

Age: (It's not polite to ask a woman's age ) Appears to be 19

Appearance: Raven Hair tied up in Ponytail, Dressed in Traditional Chinese clothing, carries a ruan. Asian, long raven hair, short, slender, and Deep brown eyes. Hides numerous blades on her person, including a wu jian she is especially skilled in handling.

Position: First Mate on the Sylvienne. Seeks to solve the mystery of her identity.

History: Song Yin Yue does not remember why someone of her descent was ever in London. She does not remember her childhood. Nor does she remember her birthday. For that matter, she has no idea if she even had a mother or father. The first thing she remembers is how she woke up, lying on the cold floor deep beneath the city, in a strange place, with the name, Song Yin Yue scrawled in blood above her head. To her, this was where her life began. Blessed (or cursed) with a freakish intelligence, and for some reason, a natural virtuosity at playing the ruan, Song set out into the streets of London. And it was here that she met, or rather, Jonathan met (or rather still, hit on) her. She told him that she was looking for answers. Jonathan, in a fit of playfulness, suggested that he indeed, had the answers she was looking for. Thus, Song began to follow him, to his annoyance. It wasn't until she saved his life that Jonathan took notice. Recognizing her abilities, Jonathan Promptly recruited Song into his Crew, and thus the dynamic duo of Jonathan and Song was born. But Song had more in her mind than just piracy. Following Jonathan for the time being, she trusted that she would uncover the truth about herself, and her namesake.

Personality: Very cool headed but serious, almost chillingly non-emotional. If the partnership were to be described as a tsukkomi, Song would be the straight man of the two. She is a genius when it comes to anything technical, but simple household tasks like Cooking and cleaning are beyond a mystery to her.

Vice: She has been getting rather close to Jonathan as of late, but otherwise is perfectionist in nature, and cannot let a problem stand.

---

Name: James Jackson (Olumide Awotunde)
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Crew Affiliation and aspiration: Navy, First mate on HMS Surprise. Seeks to one day return home when he is truly free.
Appearance: Of African descent. Tall, Strong, Hardened Body from hard ship labor. Intensely dark skin, Dark hair cut close to scalp, strong dark eyes.
Personality: Solemn, but kind. Scarred Physically and Emotionally. Quiet, but sharp witted and instinctive. Likes delicate things, and hates oppression. Has a strong sense of right and wrong.
Background: Captured from his village to work at an American tobacco plantation, abducted by pirates soon after, then pressed into service by the navy, James has always been in some sort of servitude, and experienced hardship worse than most. But if he has anything to say of all of his hardships, no one would ever know it. James has risen through the ranks for the past few years, gaining trust and respect from his crew mates and captain Bridget, but simply sustains his calm composure, and speaks very little, letting his actions speak for him instead. His English is not perfect, and he is well aware, though not ashamed of that fact. It's not his language, after all.
Vice: He must protect the weak, or else they may suffer the same fate he did.

---

Name: Bridget Hollingsworth
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Crew Affiliation and aspiration: Captain of the HMS surprise. Seeks to rise above her male peers and shine a light of hope for women in a masculine-dominated society.
Appearance: A military sort of woman, blonde hair tied tightly into a bun, Striking blue eyes, almost a fox-like face. Silver rimmed glasses correct her vision. She wear's a captain's navy uniform tailored down to fit her petite frame. A rapier hangs at her side, ready to be drawn at any moment.
Personality: Though she is small, her personality makes her seem larger than she really is. She is a strong-willed, authoritative woman who will do what is necessary to achieve her goals. She is brash outwardly, harsh, but never uncouth. But she still is a woman at heart, and has to hide her feminine side from her crew, as she views it as weak. She also has a mind for propriety, being raised in an aristocratic upbringing. She has a depth of kindness and empathy that allows for her to be
Background: She grew up as the daughter of a well to do aristocrat, pampered and spoiled, being tailored for the world of women, the sort of women who would marry, give birth, then spend the rest of their lives wasting away with nothing to do, while the men would do things that really mattered. She hated having to rely on the chauvinist pigs who deemed themselves superior to women, and her rage grew against the adversity. One day, when her father arranged a marriage to an older man when she was a girl, she fled from her home disguised as a boy, then stowed away on a navy ship. It has been 15 years since then, and Bridget has since risen through the ranks on that same ship, until the position of Captain was bestowed upon her by the previous captain, who now serves as the ship's navigator. However, she is not officially recognized as captain, as she is an undocumented sailor. Documentation would cause her family to find her, but also does bot allow her name to be known. Because of her similar sentiments against oppression with James, she has taken him under his wing and promised to return him home one day.
Vice: She has developed quite the taste for alcohol, though she only drinks in private. James is the only one who has ever seen her drunk. While drunk, she finds it entertaining to pretend she is a cat, much do the dismay of her first mate. It is a 180 degree turn from her usual demeanor.

Awesome. We're back in business. Sorry for letting it die people. That was rather irresponsible of me. <_< Maybe we should do some brainstorming while we're here. Some ideas of where to take the RP, since it was pretty aimless. I sent out a message to everyone else who was in the RP too. I should probably tell you what I told them:

Now would be a good time to make new characters, any changes you've been itching to make to your characters, make suggestions to the RP's plot, or completely restart your old characters if you got stuck not interacting with anyone. I also recommend PMing people about any major plans for your characters, so that you don't get stuck again. It makes things more involved, you know?

Yup. So looking forward everybody. I'll try to be more responsible this time.

maybe different plots for the Pirates and Royal navy? i.e. a series of treasure hunts by the warring Pirate factions. the coming war with France for the Royal Navy.

just some ideas

you could even intertwine the plots somehow?

Background:When Shade was Fifteen, his whole town was burned to the ground by the pirates and Shade swore revenge, he went to the Navy and proved himself to be just as good if not better than some of the Officers, he had a determination that they couldn't resist so they recruited him. He worked his way up the ranks until he was a Captain at the age of 19, he got the ship and named it Clearcut. The Navy has no idea just how crazy he can get when he is trying to kill pirates, his whole crew loves him though because they have all had bad experiences with pirates.

Personality: Stubborn, cocky and crazy enough to join Jack Sparrow.

Her Pirate Father taught her everything she knows now, she resented him and after she got old enough she stole his ship and his crew, she was caught again by the Navy and she was put on trial at the age of fourteen, she escaped through strange means and killed three Navy Officers on her way out. When she turned twenty she started her search for Jack Sparrow wanting to find the treasure that may not exist, she had heard many stories about Jack and she was interested in meeting him and seeing just how much of a pirate he is.
Vice: Treasure, she can't resist it.

----------

Name: Percy Darius
Gender:Male
Age:23
Crew Affiliation and aspiration: Former Royal Navy, however he is sort of in-between things at the moment. (You'll see why)

Vice: Booze, he loves to drink.

AC: your character sounds like someone I would love to bounce Percy or Shade off of, or both of them! Shade is a Royal Navy Captain, and Percy's a drop out XDD

I've been thinking of pirate story lines...but honestly nothing is coming up DD: Let me think a little more.

So... how about we start back up on saturday?

Yeah Nami! You make very interesting characters. It's always fun bouncing off my psychotic murderer characters with yours. And the womanizers. And the crazy doctors. And the spoiled rich girls. And the...

You get the point. lol.

Hm... How about this for a plot? I guess being a pirate RP, its about as cliche as we can make it. Instead of individual historical pirates, how about an actual single fictional super hard to obtain treasure that everyone is after? Might as well. The fun is in the interaction between the characters anyways, so a simple plot should suffice just fine.

Anyone have a name and location for said treasure? At least the name shouldn't be super cliche.

Hm... going along with the sword, maybe a bit of lore and legend, a sword that has the ability to grant your wish... or else it really wouldn't make much sense to have a sword of pure diamond. I sort of wonder what people would do with that, since treasure on it's own might not appeal to everyone. And especially with all these characters with troubled pasts, they can want the sword to maybe have something, start over again, etc. Even some of the navy can want the sword too. That way people are trying to find the sword for either its massive treasure value and/or it's ability to grant them a miracle.

Meanwhile the rest of the Navy is going to the treasure to attempt to capture and execute the pirates while they are all in one tangible place... Hm alright. How does that sound?

Alright everybody, Thread is here:

http://www.christiananime.net/showthread.php?p=1418721#post1418721

You can start from where you left off if you want to, but make sure that if you were caught up in previous engagements, you let the other RPers know. Everyone else can start fresh.

Yeah Nami! You make very interesting characters. It's always fun bouncing off my psychotic murderer characters with yours. And the womanizers. And the crazy doctors. And the spoiled rich girls. And the...

You get the point. lol.

Hm... How about this for a plot? I guess being a pirate RP, its about as cliche as we can make it. Instead of individual historical pirates, how about an actual single fictional super hard to obtain treasure that everyone is after? Might as well. The fun is in the interaction between the characters anyways, so a simple plot should suffice just fine.

Anyone have a name and location for said treasure? At least the name shouldn't be super cliche.


Thank you Strafe! I have fun bouncing my characters off all yours too! :3

Heheh! Not a punishable one though. I think so too! Ilove conflicting characters, its makes everything so enjoyable! :3 YAY!

Finally, my characters!
I tweaked them :D


Name: Julius Teach
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Crew Affiliation and aspiration: He's a wanderer, on his own side. He tends to work with Pirates more than anything.
Appearance: Julius is very handsome, muscular and stands at 6'1". He is tanned, has deep brown eyes, short black curly hair, a chiseled jaw, a long scar across his eye and cheekbone and he sports a mustache and goatee.
He wears a long black pirate coat, a white half-way unbuttoned shirt, brown pants, brown boots, and he carries an array of weapons including (but not limited to) a pistol, dagger and sword.
Personality: He's very mysterious and has a dry sense of humor. He carries himself like a captain at all times, and often acts like it too, taking authority when it's not his place. It seems like he has eyes in the back of his head. All of the knowledge he has is eery. He has incredible reflexes, fighting skills and he is a natural at anything he tries.
Background: His father was the infamous Blackbeard, so naturally he fell into the groove of Piracy. He was the Captain of the Pirate ship "Queen Anne's Revenge II" for ten years until they mysteriously vanished, leaving him as the only "survivor" of his ship.
Some think he shipped his crew off to be sold as slaves for his own gain. Others think that the Royal Navy attacked his ship and killed his whole crew, and in a fit of revenge, Julius slaughtered the whole group. The stories are endless, but he has never to this day revealed what truly happened to his ship and crew.
Vice: Precious jewels, and stealing nice ships.

~~



Name: Trillium Swift
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Crew Affiliation and aspiration: She's a full blooded Pirate. She travels with Julius for the adventure and danger of it all. Nothing thrills her more than to cross blades with the British Royal Navy.
Appearance: Trillium is 5'5", very fit, and slightly on the muscular side for a girl. She has long brown hair with spiral curls throughout it, brown eyes, light skin and an innocent complexion.
She wears a white long sleeve blouse with a maroon buttoned collar vest on the top, black pants, brown boots and she has four small silver loops at the top of both of her ears, and two big silver loops in her earlobes. She's always sporting a brown pirate hat with a large maroon feather in it, and she carries with her a pistol and two swords.
Personality: She is very adventurous, daring and laughs in the face of danger. She is extremely skilled with a sword, and loves showing off.
Background: She's been sailing ever since she could remember. In fact, she was born on a ship and has never wanted to leave the seas ever since. She became a pirate, following her father's footsteps (who has been rumored to be Captain Hector Barbossa himself, and Trillium has never said otherwise) and has sailed many pirate ships of her own. She doesn't own a ship at the moment though, because of a harebrained scheme of hers that involved going up against the whole Royal Navy and resulted in her former ship resting in pieces at the bottom of the ocean.
Vice: Whenever she sees a member of the Royal Navy, she has the overwhelming urge to fight, poke fun at, and/or humiliate him/her. It has gotten her into quite a lot of trouble, as you can imagine. She also has a fancy for swords and hats with big feathers, and can't resist the urge to show off her skills with a blade.


~~


And last but not least...

Name: (The one.. The only..) Capt'n Jack Sparrow
Gender: Male
Age: Appears to be in his mid forties.
Crew Affiliation and aspiration: He is the captain of the fastest ship in the whole ocean; The Black Pearl. He's on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth, but has taken up a side quest on the way.
Appearance: Image
Personality: He is the most bizarre person you will ever meet. He always acts (and smells) like he's drunk, and he has the most peculiar logic. He's always up for a good adventure though!
Background: After Jack ended his last adventure, he has been searching relentlessly for the Fountain of Youth. But that doesn't mean he can't have a little fun on the side, right?
Vice: Rum of course! Beautiful women are also his weakness, along with treasure.
