Aryn

Position in the Fleet: Cabin Boy, Drake's Dream
Race: Cambion (Half-Incubus, Half-Elf)
Gender/Sex: Male
Appearance: A fourteen or so year old boy, a bit shorter and scrawnier than others his age due to undernourishment. His long, platinum blond hair and pale green eyes are the only real similarities he has with his mother. His more demonic features he tends to keep hidden; his wings are hidden under his shirt and cloak, his tail wrapped around his waist like a belt, and his horns are sometimes kept under a hood, although for the most part he makes no effort to hide them when among the crew. On his forehead is a demonic brand, which he keeps hidden by his bandanna. Under his clothes, his body is covered in various scars from years of abuse. He almost always wears a cloak (seen in the picture provided), a tattered shirt and pants, and the previously mentioned bandanna.
Personality: The best word to describe Aryn would likely be awkward. A bastard and an orphan, and a demon nonetheless, the abuse and disdain that haunted most of his early life have left Aryn with very low self esteem. Add in the effects of puberty, budding sexuality, and the onset of his more demonic traits, and Aryn has very little confidence in himself, viewing his position as cabin boy to be fitting for somebody not capable of doing anything else. Of course, like most children his age, his lack of confidence is entirely unjustified. Smart, cunning, friendly, and above all, fiercely loyal to his captain, Aryn makes an ideal pirate; furthermore, a ship can't function without a cabin boy, and many wind up as captains some day. Pity that he can't see any of that.
Background: Fourteen years ago, a man and woman met in a bar. The woman, an elven captain, was known as Saela the Shadow. A privateer captain and smuggler, she had become famous up and down the Sword Coast for striking rapidly and out of nowhere, before disappearing again just as quickly. Through this method, she had amassed fortune and fame... and a great number of enemies. One of the Shadow's recent targets, a treasure ship carrying significant loot, had belonged to a certain company owned by a certain lord, who happened to serve a certain demon, and certain items on said ship were significant to him. The man, an incubus in human guise, had been sent by said demon to enact revenge. Later that night, the two of them left the bar, the Shadow under the incubus' spell. For close to a year, the pirate was nowhere to be found, although her crew searched everywhere. Eleven months after her disappearance, she finally returned... but deeply depressed and penniless. Not long after her disappearance, she had fallen pregnant by the incubus. When the child, a son she named Aryn was born, she was overjoyed, the demon's influence keeping her unaware of the boy's demonic features. Then, two months later, the incubus vanished, along with Saela's money, possessions... and her child. Crushed, the Shadow returned to piracy, but never got over her loss.

Believing that the progeny of such a brilliant pirate could one day prove useful to have under his thumb, the demon lord ensured that the child survived. Shortly after being taken from his mother, Aryn was whisked away by his father to a family in a nearby city who served the lord. For five years, they raised Aryn as if he was their own child, loving and caring for him. Until his fifth birthday, that is, at which point, as part of a certain demonic ritual, he was bled and branded. After this, the caring and love turned to contempt and abuse, and he spent most of his time locked in his room, his adoptive parents having judged that he'd outlived his usefulness. Around the same time, the young boy began hearing a voice in his head. A kind, caring voice... much like that of his adoptive parents, when he was younger. Over the years, the voice was his only friend, and more of a parent than his actual parents. It told him stories about his mother, about the outside world, and even told him where he could find some things that had belonged to the Shadow. Every once and awhile, the voice would even give him little commands, which he dutifully obeyed. Over the years, the commands became more complex... some, he followed as he always did, others, the voice found a way to simply override his will. On his tenth birthday, it gave him the biggest command yet... to brutally murder his parents in their sleep. Whether he did it willingly, or was forced to, Aryn could never remember... only that he felt a rush of joy doing so.

His adoptive parents dead, Aryn was forced onto the streets. Over the course of the next year or so, he made his living begging and stealing on the street. During this time, he suffered more abuse, both from adults and other children living on the street. The voice assured him that this was simply because they feared him for being a demon, and that he should be proud; the abuse still scarred him, both physically and emotionally, however, no matter how much he was assured that it wasn't something to be concerned about. Eventually, he began working on Drake's Dream, initially as a swab. Before long, however, he had the luck to be chosen as cabin boy; primarily the captain's personal servant, but also trusted with the responsibilities of relaying messages, assisting the ship's cook, helping trim the sails, and even occasionally holding the wheel in good weather. Since then, he has become incredibly loyal to his new crew, especially its captain. However, it hasn't helped his confidence much. As of the beginning of our story, he seeks to someday live up to his mother's reputation, and hopefully to find her... but the voice might have other plans.

[The Welsh Kingdoms]

Just posted a new ship and important character to the Worldbuilder hope it gets approved, and if it does, I'd make my character.

[Relikai]

Just finished a session of an official D&D campaign, and my char lost the Bag of Holding...

... To a mini Thermonuclear explosion occurring within the bag...

[Cerrania]

Holy shit. What a busy weekend. Starting work on the IC right now. What'd I miss?

[Relikai]

Holy shit. What a busy weekend. Starting work on the IC right now. What'd I miss?

An app for a ship in the World Build thread, some applications the past 2-3 pages including ButterCatx's

[Cerrania]

So aside from the app, we aren't doing any rolls right?

Case by case. There'll be certain events that require a roll. Read about it in the useful links section.

Jack Holiday

(Image)

Position in the Fleet: Boarder/Body-Guard
Race: Standard Human
Gender/Sex: Masculine Male
Appearance: Ashen White skin with curly hair as black as night and dark eyes. Rather short and has many scars all across his body
Personality: Through all the horrors of the shade and though he has walked through the valley of despair he has remained and will remain a man of valor. Despite all the things he has experienced and despite his rather cynical attitude towards most things deep down inside in his heart he has nothing but the love of all humanity. Never the less he is still a man who is on the path of vengeance and who will accomplish this goal or die trying no matter the obstacles set before him.
Background:
In Jack's younger days he was a kind and decent albeit shy individual who when he came of age set out into manhood with the vague goal being to save the world. Battling it out with monsters and other beings of foul intentions he gradually built up a reputation within his land as a hometown hero. Soon enough he joined a band of crusaders known as the Brotherhood of Ion whose ultimate goal was the protection of their poor little homeland of Amasa and the crushing of evil doers of course.

Things went well enough but eventually as one might expect life has a tendency to turn sour rather quick. Jack remembers it like yesterday when the day of days had arrived. Before that Day the the land of Amasa had been in peace and harmony with the Brotherhood from which Jack had been apart of being the it's protectors. But then that day arrived, the day when the empire attacked. Hoping to flex their muscles and seeing what they believed to be a rather easy target the Empire of Goz invaded and bought war unto the land of Amasa. In a brutal conflict which lasted for years the Brotherhood waged a protracted conflict against the Empire that wrought destruction on the land of Amasa. Villages were destroyed, lives massacred, occasional victories hear and there with subsequent bloody reprisals made. Despite all their valiance the Brotherhood's fate would be a tragic one that ended in their complete destruction and failure.

When their brilliant leader Jamath Selwy was killed in battle during an attack on an Imperial Army Barracks things only went down hill from that point on. Though defeat was practically guaranteed Jack and the others still carried on their endless war with hope still within their hearts however foolish those hopes were. The end day came when he and what few remained of the Brotherhood found themselves surrounded by a large detachment of Imperial forces. This was the end but they stood their ground fighting like lions and eventually falling. When the day was over Jack awoke amid a field of carnage alone and with a broken heart. In the days that followed he took the oath of vengeance for his fallen brother and for his homeland which to this day lies occupied under an imperial boot. He pledged himself to death itself proclaiming that he was a dead man who until his vengeance has been quenched will remain so. A truly tragic hero indeed.

Since then he wandered lost exiled from his homeland across lands untold seemingly searching for something, anything that would give meaning to his shattered life and would fill the hole that was within his heart. But life has been cruel and he has found little. Living in abject poverty many a day has he found himself without food within his belly and protection from the elements. When he was found by a few crew members of the ship he was a mess, a fallen paladin in every imaginable way. For some reason they found potential in the young man and took him on. Soon enough Jack found a niche for himself serving in the boarding parties as effectively a damage soak. Though he couldn't dish out too much he could easily take plenty and has served well in his role. With his new "family" if you will he has been able to regain much of his power and become a contributing member of the crew. The flame of vengeance within him has regained and with it the desire to destroy the ones who have wronged him. But for now he must wait patiently for he does not have the means to do so, but the day he is ready those who stand before him better be weary.

ACCEPTED.

So is my character accepted? Just wondering.

Yeah. You'll be on watch though, and be part of the N.N. Blood Rose as a crewmate.

[Cerrania]

TBH, I think we're waiting on the 4th ship from Doc.

That's it? Hell, I'll app that last ship if it gets things rolling.

If you could, that'd be great, but at this point I'm done waiting. Gonna start typing up the IC. Doc's ship can into our fleet once we escape port.

[Relikai]

Also sent you something via the TG, OP

[Arana]

What will we be doing when we start?

[Cerrania]

What will we be doing when we start?

Read the OP. Basically gonna be getting attacked by the Neverwinter Guard and getting rekt. We(the PCs) are the only survivors and thus have to escape the Port and make it to somewhere safe.

[Arana]

What will we be doing when we start?

Read the OP. Basically gonna be getting attacked by the Neverwinter Guard and getting rekt. We(the PCs) are the only survivors and thus have to escape the Port and make it to somewhere safe.

Oh, I thought that was something that had already happened.

My bad.

Naw. Powers that be figured it'd be cooler and more interesting to begin the roleplay during the attack.

[Shadowwell]

I would have gotten my app up a couple days ago but i was sick.
I will get my app up by monday.

Which would work better a DragonBorn Paladin (Dont know about the subclass yet.) or an Air Genasi Sorcerer with the Wild magic bloodline,I have narrowed it down to these two but cant decide which to chose, yet, any suggestion would be appreciated, it has been a while since i played D&d in any form.

Although i may go with a Stormsoul Genasi with a storm mastery bloodline instead for the sorcerer, if that would be allowed.

Honestly? A lot of the subclass and special ability is dictated by the rule of cool. Go with whatever you feel is best, just make sure it's not ridiculous.

Aryn

(Image)

Position in the Fleet: Cabin Boy, Drake's Dream
Race: Cambion (Half-Incubus, Half-Elf)
Gender/Sex: Male
Appearance: A fourteen or so year old boy, a bit shorter and scrawnier than others his age due to undernourishment. His long, platinum blond hair and pale green eyes are the only real similarities he has with his mother. His more demonic features he tends to keep hidden; his wings are hidden under his shirt and cloak, his tail wrapped around his waist like a belt, and his horns are sometimes kept under a hood, although for the most part he makes no effort to hide them when among the crew. On his forehead is a demonic brand, which he keeps hidden by his bandanna. He almost always wears a cloak (seen in the picture provided), a tattered shirt and pants, and the previously mentioned bandanna.
Personality: The best word to describe Aryn would likely be awkward. A bastard and an orphan, and a demon nonetheless, the abuse and disdain that haunted most of his early life have left Aryn with very low self esteem. Add in the effects of puberty, budding sexuality, and the onset of his more demonic traits, and Aryn has very little confidence in himself, viewing his position as cabin boy to be fitting for somebody not capable of doing anything else. Of course, like most children his age, his lack of confidence is entirely unjustified. Smart, cunning, friendly, and above all, fiercely loyal to his captain, Aryn makes an ideal pirate; furthermore, a ship can't function without a cabin boy, and many wind up as captains some day. Pity that he can't see any of that.
Background: Fourteen years ago, a man and woman met in a bar. The woman, an elven captain, was known as Saela the Shadow. A privateer captain and smuggler, she had become famous up and down the Sword Coast for striking rapidly and out of nowhere, before disappearing again just as quickly. Through this method, she had amassed fortune and fame... and a great number of enemies. One of the Shadow's recent targets, a treasure ship carrying significant loot, had belonged to a certain company owned by a certain lord, who happened to serve a certain demon, and certain items on said ship were significant to him. The man, an incubus in human guise, had been sent by said demon to enact revenge. Later that night, the two of them left the bar, the Shadow under the incubus' spell. For close to a year, the pirate was nowhere to be found, although her crew searched everywhere. Eleven months after her disappearance, she finally returned... but deeply depressed and penniless. Not long after her disappearance, she had fallen pregnant by the incubus. When the child, a son she named Aryn was born, she was overjoyed, the demon's influence keeping her unaware of the boy's demonic features. Then, two months later, the incubus vanished, along with Saela's money, possessions... and her child. Crushed, the Shadow returned to piracy, but never got over her loss.

Believing that the progeny of such a brilliant pirate could one day prove useful to have under his thumb, the demon lord ensured that the child survived. Shortly after being taken from his mother, Aryn was whisked away by his father to a family in a nearby city who served the lord. For five years, they raised Aryn as if he was their own child, loving and caring for him. Until his fifth birthday, that is, at which point, as part of a certain demonic ritual, he was bled and branded. After this, the caring and love turned to contempt and abuse, and he spent most of his time locked in his room, his adoptive parents having judged that he'd outlived his usefulness. Around the same time, the young boy began hearing a voice in his head. A kind, caring voice... much like that of his adoptive parents, when he was younger. Over the years, the voice was his only friend, and more of a parent than his actual parents. It told him stories about his mother, about the outside world, and even told him where he could find some things that had belonged to the Shadow. Every once and awhile, the voice would even give him little commands, which he dutifully obeyed. Over the years, the commands became more complex... some, he followed as he always did, others, the voice found a way to simply override his will. On his tenth birthday, it gave him the biggest command yet... to brutally murder his parents in their sleep. Whether he did it willingly, or was forced to, Aryn could never remember... only that he felt a rush of joy doing so.

His adoptive parents dead, Aryn was forced onto the streets. Over the course of the next year or so, he made his living begging and stealing on the street. During this time, he suffered more abuse, both from adults and other children living on the street. The voice assured him that this was simply because they feared him for being a demon, and that he should be proud; the abuse still scarred him, both physically and emotionally, however, no matter how much he was assured that it wasn't something to be concerned about. Eventually, he began working on Drake's Dream, initially as a swab. Before long, however, he had the luck to be chosen as cabin boy; primarily the captain's personal servant, but also trusted with the responsibilities of relaying messages, assisting the ship's cook, helping trim the sails, and even occasionally holding the wheel in good weather. Since then, he has become incredibly loyal to his new crew, especially its captain. However, it hasn't helped his confidence much. As of the beginning of our story, he seeks to someday live up to his mother's reputation, and hopefully to find her... but the voice might have other plans.

What do you mean by: on watch? I'm a little tired, so I'm confuzzled. And I was offered lieutenant which I have taken.

"On watch" meaning "if your posts are not up to snuff (difficult to follow, etc.) then you'll be asked to leave".

Position in the Fleet: Crewmate/ Storm Watchman on the Drakes Dream
Race:Stormsoul Genasi
Gender/Sex:Male
Appearance: He stands taller than most humans even a few Genasi,at around 6ft 3, he has an almost lithe build though still medium, he weighs 240 lbs.
Personality:He can seem rather laid-back and detached at times. He is usually calm and collected when he talks to most other humanoids though he is usually more friendly to others of his race than those of other races.
Background: Unlike many Genasi that are born from unions between humans and Elementals, Emere was born between two Genasi parents. His elemental manifestation was that of storms. His family wasn’t part of a large group of Genasi they were simply travelers who met and eventually settled in a village. When he was around the age of 11 it was learned that he was a sorcerer, a Wielder of the Arcane, and coincidentally enough it was loosely tied to his manifestation. He was a Storm Sorcerer, it tied in well with his inherent racial abilities.

When he was around 15 the place he lived was attacked by a large group of Bandits, his parents were heavily injured. Luckily some Adventurers came along and the bandits were killed, though they were too late to save his father, and his mother was almost crippled, due to what was done to her. His mother died shortly afterwards and he was taken in by one of the Adventurers. He traveled with them for a couple of years, learning how to fight with magic, and to survive. It was not to last though as the Adventurers eventually fell on hard times. They tried to kill him, as he kept most of his money, and didn't spend much. While he didn't expect it, it didn’t surprise him, because he only trusted one of the Adventurers, but she had died a few months prior, when the group stupidly tried to clear out a nest of Dragons.

He fought and killed a few of them, the others died when they tried to follow him into a storm. He was later found by a merchant ship, that he rode on for a bit. He would travel as part of the crew for many ships, but would leave after a short time. He eventually would ,later on in his life choose to move to the Sword Coast to be closer to the conditions for storms to brew, as well as for a chance to be on ships.

He lived there for a couple years before eventually settling in Neverwinter and it was there that he became relatively known for being able to seemingly predict when storms were going to hit. It was this ability that initially caught the eye of the Captain of the Drakes Dream. He was recruited onto the ship as a Storm Watchman. He has only been on the ship for a short while but he made close friends with some of the crew, more so the members of his own race, as well as some others of the crew. He stayed with the crew and it was a nice life that he lived, though sadly, it was not to last.

Class: Sorcerer
Subclass: Bloodline of Storm mastery
Special Ability:
Tempest: can control and manipulate the wind and weather to an extent around you. Within a radius of 100 or so ft he can control the wind and the weather to an extent. He can only enhance or strengthen existing storms. He can't create them from scratch yet. The closer to him it is the greater control he has over the wind and weather resulting in a stronger effect. Within a 5 ft radius of himself he can manipulate the wind into shapes such as blades, though this takes less effort create and control, it is more taxing on him. He can manipulate water to an extent in the form of rain, though the control is less than of the wind and weather in general.

Passive racial ability: Stormborn: can tell if a storm is approaching, though cant tell how strong it is or how long it will last yet. You are also more resistant to lightning than normal humanoids. The lighting beneath your skin calls to its counterpart, resulting in stronger created storms and storm based abilities.
Equipment: Will add more when done.
Light Leather/Metal Armor: Basically what he is wearing in the pic.
Short Sword
Cloak, This will be pretty much it. It is enchanted with an illusion spell, that is rather costly, it allows the wearer to change how they are perceived by others to an extent be it how they sound or their looks, though the hood of the cloak must be up, only lasts for 30 minutes before the spell wears out and the cloak disintegrates.

Ability Scores:

Strength: 10
Dexterity: 14
Constitution: 12+2
Intelligence: 13
Wisdom: 8
Charisma: 15+1

Strengths: He can be rather proficient when in magical combat. He is very attuned to Storms and changes in the wind and weather. He is not bothered by storms and is actually more proficient when fighting, to an extent when in the presence of a storm, more so if it is naturally created.
Weaknesses: He is weak in direct melee combat. Due to his inherent nature he can be slow to act at times, though on some occasions he can act with a swiftness that almost contradicts his nature most of the time. when in the presence of Stormy weather he can become reckless and wild, to an extent.

Likes: Stormy weather and the sea. (Will add more later)
Dislikes: Those who are exceedingly meddlesome as well as those who have harmed or tried to harm him and his friends. Extremely calm weather, it makes him uneasy, strangely enough.

What do you mean by: on watch? I'm a little tired, so I'm confuzzled. And I was offered lieutenant which I have taken.

"On watch" meaning "if your posts are not up to snuff (difficult to follow, etc.) then you'll be asked to leave".

There's someone like that in another of the RPs I'm in... (I was having trouble with that too, because minimum post length, and phone isn't good about accurate lines)

I would have gotten my app up a couple days ago but i was sick.
I will get my app up by monday.

Which would work better a DragonBorn Paladin (Dont know about the subclass yet.) or an Air Genasi Sorcerer with the Wild magic bloodline,I have narrowed it down to these two but cant decide which to chose, yet, any suggestion would be appreciated, it has been a while since i played D&d in any form.

Although i may go with a Stormsoul Genasi with a storm mastery bloodline instead for the sorcerer, if that would be allowed.

Another Genasi? What have i done?
You should join Drake's Dream. We'll all be a bunch of people who don't really belong to any race (two genasi, me and temp, and a half-incubus/half-elf)

So for my character I'm thinking Dwarf Rogue serving as Quartermaster* for the Cassandra - yay for crossbows! Will need help putting the stats together though; I've got a reasonable handle on the rules and mechanics thanks to stuff like Order of the Stick and Darths & Droids but I've never actually played D&D or any other tabletop RPG.

* Dunno how we're working it in the D&D universe, but aboard classical pirate ships the Quartermaster was basically the second highest rank after the captain, in charge of leading boarding parties and handing out discipline to the sailors. They could also veto the captain's decisions whenever the ship wasn't engaged in combat. I'm happy to downgrade the importance of the role though since I wasn't involved in the early planning of the RP and don't wanna look like I'm doing a power grab; we can put it third or fourth down the command structure and/or remove the veto right. After all, if the captain's making decisions that would need vetoed all the time I'll probably just have my character start a mutiny instead!

Ok, thanks. I have had nothing but quality posts before ib other RP's so I don't think it will be a problem

Hey Olag, I hereby rename Drakes Dream the Ship of Misfits, lol. I wouldnt mind that if it is ok with temp.

TO everyone else: I may need some help figuring everything else out for my app, like the name for instance, among other things, I would appreciate some input.

Okay. I'm just gonna do the things that I think need to be tweaked as I go.

• You need a name and a specific position aboard a specific ship. No more ambiguity.
• Delete my text that's in parentheses for things you've already completed, such as appearance.
• Just say Stormsoul Genasi.
• Capitalization and grammar, please.
• Spoiler the ability scores.
• Delete any of the optional section that you aren't using.
