So, I notice this is still a work in progress. Pardon me if any coming questions are in that particular [WIP] area. One, are we really restricted to the gender that comes with the job? Say for... The navigator can only be male, and the rigger can only be female? Secondly, are we just limited to the powers that are listed? Or are we allowed, with your approval of course, to come up with some ability of our own?

I do want to say that I am glad I'm not the only steam-punk fan out here, I suppose. Although I mostly enjoy anything that is related with sci-fi. Anyway, I'll ponder some more on if I want to join, and whatever role I would want to reserve...

May I suggest a role that's not listed among the others pre-sets? The role I have in mind is Treasurer/chief financial officer, one who is responsible for the budgeting, salary and other financial duties? Also, I'd prefer to if my unique power was animorphism. The ability to hold the form of an animal.

@ Archlkan- the reason for the genders is I want to try and keep an equal boy/girl ratio. But, I think I'll take that off unless/until it becomes a problem.

@ zerotolerence/Archlan There is a very specific reason for these particular powers. If you want to use a different power that is similar to one that's listed it's completely fine but... the reason for the powers in these specific pirates has to do with the nature of these powers.

@zerotolerence If you want you could replace the role of carpenter/surgeon with that role. Frankly it sounds more important/interesting.

@Wild:
The powers are okay, I was just wondering about that bit. Mostly cause I'm never too fond of those generic powers. Ah, I can live with it.

The reason I was asking about the genders was because I was leaning more towards Master Gunner & Navigator, but I wanted to make a female one. Don't know if that would be allowed, else I'd just go for the Rigger.

I just took off the gender requirements actually. how ever it looks like master gunner/navigator was already snagged...

Uhh, I'm a little stuck.

Considering barely any main roles were taken, I might as well use one. My character is the First Mate, and he is both a jewel theft, and a magician.

He doesn't have real magic, only simple magic tricks, or as you would call, "Practical Magic," or as some refer it as "Illusionry Magic," His most commonly used items are Piano Wire, Flash Bombs, Smoke Bombs, and his Handglider. He, is not only known for his magic, but is also known for being the master of disguise, not a master, THE master. He has been known to disguise as anyone he wanted, and has a practiced and perfected ability of copying anybody's voice.

His biggest intrest is in jewels, especially small famous ones. He often moves by his handglider, but, he travels by ship to go long distances, but whenever the ship stops into town, he will send a letter notifying of how, when, and where he would strike from, but it would be in riddle form.

Wearing a white magician attire, travelling by sky, like a dove, he is called Kamen Diamonte.

Now, here's the small problem. I'm not too sure which power he should have. I'm mostly headed toward Illusions, but Invisibility and Flight both seemed to match well as well. Which skill do you think would work best for him, but lets him keep his usual routine of giving his spectators a show when stealing.

@Wild:
So close... Rigger it is then. (:|) Damn you shmband! (D':)
Also, I'll reserve the breathing underwater ability.

Wild1 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Wild1** on Tue Mar 06, 2012 4:46 pm

@lyod
I think either invisibility or illusions would work with your character. Invisibility for his "master of disguise" part and illusions for the the "illusionary magic" part.

Sorry Archlkan! :') At least I hope I picked an ability which isn't one that would be too popular, so hopefully I won't iritate anyone on that front...

@shmband:
It's okay Mate. First come first served, anyway.

I just realised I wrote Nina's hair colour, eye colour, height and weight twice. Ah well, better to be descriptive then lacking in content I suppose...

If it's still open could I reserve the surgeon/carpenter?

Wild1 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Wild1** on Tue Mar 06, 2012 6:47 pm

It's fine, I really like your character by the way ^^

@ lifecharachter It's still open, I'll edit in your reservation!

can the cook be female?

Wild1 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Wild1** on Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:10 pm

Yes, but I'm afraid that furry dragon already reserved the cook through private message. Every role but cabin boy is taken or reserved. You should know that the cabin boy could be a cabin girl if you wanted.

Byte · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Byte** on Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:12 pm

I'll assume everyone knows everyone? Or are we just a quickly wrapped together, rag-tag band that calls each individual by their job name?
Was just wondering this for no apparent reason.

wolf1911.45 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **wolf1911.45** on Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:31 pm

can i get a little more imformation on the cabin boy/girl?

Wild1 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Wild1** on Tue Mar 06, 2012 10:51 pm

@Archlkan, I hadn't thought about it too much. Lets say that Jinx put up a notice in Apak (the pirate town where the journey starts). In the notice Jinx asked for pirates willing to risk their lives for treasure as a crew under her. So, none of the people on the boat know each other before the rp starts. We're going to start the rp as the boat pulls out of harbor. Presumably everyone will already know each others names and ranks from being introduced as they boarded the ship. Beyond that they havn't a clue what anyone else is like.

@wolf, the cabin boy/girl is practically the equivalent of a slave on the ship. They do the dirty work like carrying powder to the cannons, swabbing the deck, cleaning the crews quarters, carrying things etc. Most Cabin boys/girls are not pirates by nature. They were perhaps captured off another ship and forced to work. Either that or they chose to become a cabin boy/girl to escape where they came from for some reason.
