[Mr. Retro]

This RP will be GM'd by both me and NiGHTS NOOB.

Experience priorities:

1) Battles won:****

2) Treasures found:*****

3) Obstacles overcome:****

4) Interactions with other characters:***

5) Difficulty of RP:** (easy/normal)



Rules: O Vitality means a knockout..On land. In the water, if you're character is KO'd for more than 2 posts without being saved, he/she is fish food. Ce'st la vie.
3 Characters maximum. One character minimum (duh)

Onto the plot! The setting is a small Archipelago of Islands, known as the Cherry Islands, due to cherry trees thickly covering many of the islands. But, beyond those pretty trees is something not quite as nice. Pirates do business on many of these islands, especially Gunpowder Island, where the ship of the infamous Scurvy pirate crew crashed. It is a hub of illegal activities, ranging from black market deals to things that are very unpleasant. Gunpowder Island is the largest island, and is located at the center. The second largest island is Chao Island, where a Navy outpost has been set. The Navy men run tirelessly in their efforts to quell the illegal activities, and enlist as often as possible. You choose a side: Pirates, Navy, or oyur own allegiannce. Its up to you. In this RP, there is a ship building feature (this is for very large ships. Not speedboats). It is as displayed here:
60 points into stats

Hull: The integral part of the ship, if this fails the ship sinks.

Sail: Allows the ship to go with the wind, every five points gives a speed difference of 20 mph. If these get destroyed, you can no longer sail with the wind for high speeds.

Paddle Wheel: The mechanical movement of a ship. Every five points gives you 10 mph in speed, and the wheel can go against the wind. The sails and paddle gives you a collective speed boost when going with the wind, and if the paddle gets destroyed you must rely on sails or ocean currents.

Rudder: The steering mechanism, if this gets destroyed you can't turn by yourself.

I couldn't think of a really effective way to implement cannons, but here's what I got, feel free to suggest something else.

You get two cannons on the left and right sides of the ship, one cannon fires out standard cannonballs, these cannonballs have 6 offense, but do half damage to sails and sailors. The second cannon has a shrapnel shot that deals 7 offense to sailors and sails, but only 3 to other ship parts.

Now, you have infinite cannonballs, but you can't use the first 3 times in a row, or the second twice in a row. You can't shoot at things you shouldn't be able to, as in, you can't shoot at troops below the deck, nor can you shoot at the paddle or rudder if you're side by side.

You can take down a ship by either destroying the hull, or by boarding and taking out the crew. You can only board a ship however if you are side by side and the ship is moving at 10 mph or less. A character with the jumping sub ability can board a ship while it's moving at 20 and then either attack the crew or attempt to further slow down the ship, and characters with ranged attacks can attack across ships while they are moving at 20 mph or less in order to either slow down the ship or injure the crew. Once a ship has boarded another, neither ship can fire cannon rounds at each other.

This is a rough model here, we will inform you of any changes

You can have up to 3 characters in this RP. We will start once 3 players join.

Have fun and good luck

[Mr. Retro]

Ok guys. Maybe I should of mentioned this. Your ships won't be ready right away. Atleast, NiGHTS hasn't confirmed that with me. So, if it is decided your ships come in later, keep these. If it is decided right away, then right on! Ok. I know this sounds odd as odd can be, but I am adding in a character: Trebble the Otter. He will be paired with Mya. I am using a main story line intensive character too, but I will reveal their identity when this starts.

[KyleDartist]

fine by me!

[Pyroman]

I don't recall being asked permission or granting it for an Experience gaining RP.

[Mr. Retro]

Sorry. Uh. Can this be an experience gaining RP?

[Pyroman]

Read this, adjust the experience distribution accordingly, and it's fine by me. Just ask first next time. OK?

[NiGHTS Noob]

You guys can use those ships if you want, but you're going to have to join one of the three plot characters as soon as you can, if you don't want to it's going to be tough with three enemies and no backup.

Me and Bandages will each be dual controlling three plot characters and then each have two of our own, I'll be using Dragoon and Stomp, so look out because both of my guys are super jumpers.

[Mr. Retro]

K, unless Pyro(man) joins, I think we have all the players we are going to get. So, on your command, NiGHTS.

[NiGHTS Noob]

Well, Pyro's pretty busy with his own RP, and Kyle's, so I doubt he's going to join, but people can join in and add new characters at any time they choose, but you can't subtract a character unless they die. So, the three plot characters are, you guessed it, Sandy, Ion, and Bruno.

Sandy's a pirate captain of a lone ship in this RP, but she's clever and always ready for anything. Sandy's ship(s) can disguise themselves as another fleets, but if you're caught you better watch out.

Ion's captain of one ship that belongs to a small fleet and he's tough and experienced, fueled by revenge.

Those are the to pirate characters you can join, or you can go with the powerful Navy, the commander of a large fleet of ships, is the ruthless Bruno. Bruno's incredibly experienced, and can handle any situation with ease, he also commands a strict regime of fear among his troops.

We'll tell you their ships when they're first encountered by characters in the RP, all characters will start on land on either of the two story islands, or on Misty Island which is slightly to the south, it's home to a large dense rain forest that could hold some secrets, but technologically it's the weakest of the three heavily populated islands.

All basic crewman and commanders count as regular enemies when encountered, if you come across a ship without any of us commanding it, everyone on it's stock, and depending on your allegiance it may or may not attack you.

Stock crewman 1

1) Scimitar- offense-5, defense-5
2) Whistle- Alerts unaware crew members of an attack.

Strength- 15
Agility- 10

2) Dagger- offense-3, defense-5
3) Whistle- Alerts unaware crew members of an attack.

2) Bull Charge- 2 strength, 3 vitality, Has 6 offense and sends the opponent flying if it connects.
3) Rope Swing- 2 agility, The captain can easily reach anywhere on the ship in incredible times
4) Stat Breaker- Gets 60 points to place instead of 50

Stats:
Strength- 20
Agility- 15
Vitality- 15

Lesser Skills:
Weapon Skill- Scimitar

Even on a manned ship, you can still expect to come across some of the crewman so watch out so you don't get overwhelmed, crewman can't leave the ship during battle with a player manned ship so it's much more difficult to attack than to defend in those battles.

I'll let whoever wants to, to start first.

[Mr. Retro]

(I guess I will post first)

Trebble tore through the waters, paddling with his arms until he reached the shore "Hey, whats going on here?" Trebble looked at the sign on the beach sands that said "Chao Island is currently for military use. Stay Away" Trebble chuckled "Well, looks like my sign is gone. No tresspassing seems to only work when you work for the military nowadays" Trebble walked up to one of the guards "Hey. You." The guard pointed his gun at Trebble "What are you doing, can't you read?" Trebble smirked "Couldn't you guys? Cause I remember putting up a sign that said 'NO TRESSPASSING' in nice, big, bold red letters where your sign is now" The guard put down his gun "What do you want?" Trebble looked around "I wanna see the guy who runs this place"

[Ultimatedarkness]

"Prime, remind me again why we are here. With her." Wolfie pointed at Tina as if she was some kind of disease he might accidentally catch, and Prime sighed. The two kids had been treating each other like scum, and he was stuck in the middle

"Why me?" He groaned, and then looked at Wolfie

"Look, Rust sent us here to find someone he's heard of. Her name is Sandy, and she's a pirate captain. In the meanwhile, he's got a few more things on his mind." Tina perked up at this, and glanced over

"You mean he's dealing with the Shadow Ring? But I wannna go with him!" She started to whine, and Prime groaned and clamped his hands over his ears, then said

"Look, can we just find her? Please?"

((Oh yeah, I'm gonna change something, Prime, Wolfie, and Tina are now working for the pirates instead of being on their own.))

[KyleDartist]

(Just waiting 4 third character to be approoved, then I will make post for sure)

[Mr. Retro]

"Yahoo! These waves are fun aren't they?" Sandy looked back to see many of her crewmen on the floor, soaking wet. Mya hobbled up to her, and quietly said "Ummmm...Ms. Sandy? I appreciate you taking me onto your ship and everything, but, do you know where we are going?" Sandy giggled "Call me Sandy. Miss is too...Old sounding. And, whats the point of knowing where you are going to go? Life is an adeventure, and adventures aren't fun if you know what is gonna happen!" Mya looked at the floor "Yeah, I guess you are right..." A crewman ran up to Sandy "Cap'n! We got a boat to the left of us! Don't look like no navy ship eider! Looks like its got 3 people on it. And 2 of them are really short!" Sandy grinned "Lets head to them then!"

[NiGHTS Noob]

Stomp stood up yawning at the bow of the ship, peering out over the endless sea and the island they were arcing around. It had been a boring couple days since he joined the ship, and he was hoping for something besides lookout to do that day. As the ship continually moved around the island more and more of the open sea came into view. To ship figures were seen not far off in the distance, but the sun was behind them so only silhouettes could be seen. "Hey cap!" Stomp shouted back towards the stern, "Two ships up ahead but I can't tell much else, what should we do Ion?" The ship orbited kept orbiting around the island as one of the silhouetted ships started nearing the other.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"So you're interested in the Navy, eh lad?" inquired Bruno, he hated doing recruitment, but this one seemed interesting. "Well sir, I can't let all these pirates terrorize the public unchecked" The recruit replied. "I see, well you definitely seem enthusiastic enough, but do you gots enough balls to handle the terrors of the sea?" "I'll take anything you throw at me with my trusty SPEAR OF JUDGEMENT!!!" "Right." Bruno looked away, somewhat embarrassed by what he had just seen and heard. 'Well, at least he looks strong, I don't think he'll one of those pieces of ^crud^ who lets me down in a fight.' Bruno thought.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"So does that mean I get to join sir?" Dragoon asked as he put his SPEAR OF JUDGEMENT!!! back on his back. "Yeah sure, but if you let me down, you're going over board" Commander Bruno replied as he spit into the road. "Come on then meat, let's go and introduce ya to the rest of the crew. Try not to let them intimidate you to much, most of em are worthless slobs." "Should you really talk about them that way, sir?" Dragoon asked, the commander stopped walking, "Now listen new guy, you didn't know so I'm gonna let you off, but don't ever question my power of my men or you'll seriously regret it." Dragoon managed to fake a gulp of fear off to satisfy the guy, "Alright sir, I understand." Commander Bruno then stood up straight "Right then, lets head back to the ship." 'What a jerk.' Dragoon thought as the dredged along through the dark street, anxious to get out of the rain before the storm.

^***^ May or may not have been the word actually used

[Mr. Retro]

The guard paused "That would be Commander Bruno. Oh look! There he is now! I warn youu though. He isn't a people person." Trebble sped off towards Bruno, skidding to a halt in front of him "Hey, can I talk to you about something? Yes? Great. You see, this island holds something very important to my family, and I am afraid you guys may damage it if you aren't careful. Its a very valuable relic, said to bless those sailors he held it with perfect control of the sea. Course, I don't intend to use it, but as Guardian of the Sea, I am obliged to protect it. Do you understand where I am coming from?"

"Hold on!" Prime called across to Sandy's boat "Sandy, we came to work something out! Me and these two would like to join your cause!" Wolfie leapt up, and called

"Yeah, can you at least give us a chance?"

[Mr. Retro]

Sandy was confused "Uhhh sure. We were just gonna ask you for directions...." Mya looked at Sandy quizically "What about all that "shouldn't know where you are going' buisiness." Sandy smiled "That was before I got hungry. We're outta food." Mya sank "My God. What kind of pirate are you?" Sandy ignored Mya and shouted "Sure you can join us! Ummm....Do you guys have any food?"

[NiGHTS Noob]

Bruno glared at the otter who had just gotten into his face. "Well, before I try to understand where you're coming from maybe you should understand where I'm coming from. I'm the kind of guy who would do anything to reach my target, and if sea control would do that then I'm gonna get sea control. I'm not gonna kick your ass now, but do you see that ship over there? Yeah, you wouldn't be able to stand up to a whole fleet, you probably can't even handle this new recruit here." he pointed over at Dragoon, "Do you get me, punk?"
