@PKMNB0Y
1) You should have talked about the 'no underground parties' in the OP if you specifically did not want us to use them.
2) Since you've been mentioning the malnourished part. I've mentioned, numerous times in the history tab, that although he's malnourished, that does not mean that he was not given food at all. I suppose I should have clarified that better.
3)I get the thing about food and water. I did not know that the voyage would take 1 month, but you did not mention it in the OP as well. I only found out after the CS was done, in the OOC.
4)Yes. Two years. Why shouldn't he survive and retain his knowledge? Were the "he was forced to mature early" and "never gave up on escaping" not enough reasons for him to retain his sanity?
5)He has no physical abilities, and yet you deny him the only thing that would give him some sort of uniqueness among the group. If I take away the stone, we're left with a frail, 14-year-old kid whose only real merit is being a walking encyclopedia. Oh and the odd tricks with his innate magic, which is very rare and very weak sort of magic.
6)As said previously, I suppose I should have clarified the malnourished part better. He's not a sack of bones with no muscle on him. He can swim, and walk, and run. I don't think that a sack of brittle bones could do all that.

@Vec: Well, to respond in order...

1. I didn't think that someone would take this route. Given the setting I have at the time (aka the Renaissance/Age of Exploration-era tech and stuff), there shouldn't be any need for these to even exist. If I was to list out every possible scenario that I wouldn't want being used, then I'd take over a month and STILL be missing things. It shouldn't be necessary to have to write out every single situation and what should and shouldn't be okay.

2. Malnourishment is malnourishment. Regardless of how much they are given, nobody with that much of a lack of a proper diet should even be able to scale an anchor or flee for extended periods of time, for example. If the captors are willing to treat someone like a guinea pig to the extent of kidnapping them off the streets, then there is a very clear disregard for human life here. Thus, they would likely only give the character in question the absolute bare minimum to live, else they would be wasting resources. It wouldn't make SENSE for them to use more than necessary. This isn't a charity case you're proposing.

3.

When the ship returned a few months later

I would think this to be rather intuitive. I shouldn't need to say that on oceanic voyage on a pre-industrial vessel would take a month or more; just because the engines we use today can be used to travel from one half of the Earth to the other does not mean that we have ALWAYS been able to travel at that speed.

4. Because it's not logical. You think it's going to be easy for people to retain knowledge that they cannot make constant use of and remember? A good memory is one thing, but tell me how often students will remember what they've learned in class after the summer.
Also, you're diverting attention away from the explanation behind the knowledge. Sanity and willpower? Okay, yeah, there are stories and I'll accept that much. But it's another to recall all that information from books after two years for the sake of doing so, especially when the character in question is attempting to work out an escape plan.

5. The problem here is that the character should not have been able to get to that position in the first place. Something like 'a stone that has something to do with amplifying lightning magic' is, as I assume it to be, a modified lightning catalyst. But simply implanting it in a person should have no lasting effects, and it is in essence just implanted for the sake of being implanted. It would eventually run out, and thus need to be recharged... Which means either removing it to recharge it (which is once again iffy because I would assume that given the prior statements this would be impossible without bodily harm) or exposing the character to electricity. Lots of it.
In which case, well... Then the problem becomes exposure to high-voltage electricity, but right now that's an aside. If it isn't, then it still becomes an issue because at no point have I said that such an object would even exist on the continent at that time.

6. As stated prior, malnourishment is malnourishment. Even if he isn't in peak condition, it's not exactly easy to flee from kidnappers, run all the way to a harbor, then dive off the side of a dock and scale the chains that hold the anchor onto the ship itself. Actually, I'm fairly certain that most children at that age would be unable to do all of that, even with a ton of adrenaline coursing through their veins. Remember, the chains will have to be long as the boat is tall and then some because of the depth of the water at the docks. The boat, given everything it is carrying, will have a height that would still be difficult to surmount.
So in the end, a 14-year-old child who is NOT in peak condition and has not had the chance to train their body freely is, in your form...
Able to run a long distance (minor pass because adrenaline);
Escape to a port town and outrun those who were supposed to guard him;
Dive into the water near the end of the night near one of the most highly-guarded vessels without incident;
Scale what is AT THE VERY LEAST an 80' long chain without incident in the midst of darkness while also having an electrically-charged jewel of some sort embedded within them (given dimensions of a ship from that era, this might still be underselling the height);
Have the energy required to climb on board, then successfully find an empty barrel and, without displacing anything that would make it seem suspicious, hide inside of it.

There's a limit to how far I'm willing to suspend my disbelief, but this is far too over-the-top for me. Still no dice.

@PKMNB0YSo basically, your biggest problems are 1) that he's physically unfit to be able to escape the way he did 2) catalysts are a no-no, even though there's already a mage with a catalyst in the rp, but anyway. 3) a 14-year-old cannot have that good of a memory.

ok. noted. I'll make a new char.

@Vec: You misinterpret my statements.
1. Yes. More or less.
2. More along the lines of 'It's illogical for him to have it when it doesn't fit thematically into an archetype that really shouldn't be a thing in the first place'; something like what you stated is likely to be valuable and probably be kept under better wraps, but I'm going to drop that line of argument.
3. Somewhat, but moreso that a 14-year-old in that sort of scenario should not be able to recall as much as you are saying in a scenario like that.

@PKMNB0YI PMed you my new CS so if we have any sort of arguments, we won't fill the OOC.

Time for everyone to start pitching in and makin' a camp, even if they're just a fat wanker named Cole.

Wait a...

Wait a second....

I hope the peeps won't hate Gabriel. But I guess they will...

I'll get some posts up tomorrow. Had a rather nasty migraine today.

*looks around*

Where'd everyone poof to all of a sudden?

Welp.

I was working on posts, but I got busy with something. I'll get something up first thing tomorrow.

prob won't be active till Tuesday, Monday night earliest

Sorry about being gone for a bit, my computer had a virus and I had to take care of it. I'll try and post soon.

Meep? What happened to everyone?

That's what I wanna know. =3=;;

Alright I'm really sorry it took me so long to get something up and its really short, but I've just had a lot going on lately.

Well, I've got no excuses here. Just me being lazy.

Well, that and just a general lack of inspiration and motivation recently. Eh, I'll get over it and post something.

kk i'm back, have a post

When i'm at my dad's every other weekend, I post less because it would come from my Xbox instead of a computer, and that would take me like, 2 hours to make a post that would normally take 30 mins.

Name: Jaxson Evans
Age: 16
Race: Human
Appearance: Jaxson is about "5'8", and has a lean body frame, as well as pale skin. He has dark brown hair, that he keeps short for unknown reasons. He typically wears grey trousers, and a black button-up. He occasionally wears his father's weathered brown tricorn hat, which he got for his fifteenth birthday. He has hard grey eyes that many would describe as untrustworthy, that his father called "clever".
He does not have any facial hair.
Personality: Jaxson is a very wary and cautious fellow, as him and his father have always had to lie and cheat their way through life to put food on the table. He will occasionally smile, though he will fake one if he has to. It takes him a very long time to trust someone, and when he does, you will be glad. He's learned how to be loyal to his friends when it really matters, though he doesn't have many. He isn't very fun-loving, though he likes to read.
Abilities: Jaxson was frequently taught how to use a bow and arrow for hunting, and he is a pretty accurate shot. He can't use magic, which he makes up for in wit. He's outwitted several men older than him and never had to face a consequence. His father has taught him how to craft arrows in an emergency, so he'll be safe.
Salvaged Item: A hand-crafted bow, made by his father.
Nation of Origin: Tawken

Phew, finally got something up for Charlotte. Motivation is returning, I think.

That said, Sevita is mostly going to be out and about collecting firewood. Probably will be away for a bit, so I'll just rewrite her back in once camp has been mostly established, and she'll come back with firewood xP

@JustThink: Bare-bones is what I can call this, honestly. Not only are you missing the history section from the form, but from what you've given me in the personality section, it's very unlikely that he'd even be aboard the flagship at all. You know, because the whole 'lying and cheating' thing makes me assume he's... Well, not well off enough to be selected. Because, well, you've cited Tawken as a nation of origin, and I would assume that this is all a diplomatic move and thus no go.

Also. Never had to face consequences and outwitted older men. That comment doesn't bode well for me.

Declined.

@Savo: Yo, where you at, man?
