Main Plot: You can play as a survivor of the ship that was lost at sea or as one of the natives of the magical Island. Main plot would be slice-of-life centering around the survivors and native peoples learning from each other, adapting, falling in love, and living life. Player driven side plots are also encouraged. I would call it semi-sandbox style, as there will be set Island/Native lore, but you can play out scenarios as you see fit. Explore the Island. Play a catholic priest bent on baptizing the natives. Play a native who is hostile towards outsiders. Play a native who wants to leave the island after hearing about London. Play a Greedy Survivor who calls the natives savages behind there back and plans to make himself rich from the land after returning to England. Play a survivor who wants to get back home to his family. Play a helpful sailor who teaches the Village how to make booze...ETC...

Setting: A magical tropical Island located somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle. And there are Villages of native people living there, who call the island home. Alongside your typical plants and animals there are a few mystical ones. Such as dragons and unicorns. The magical stuff only applies to the Island, as the rest of the world is the same non-magical earth that we know.

Playable Characters: You can choose to play either as an Island Native, or as a survivor of the ship. Native characters would all know one another, having grown up side by side in their community. They have their own religion, gods, traditions, and beliefs. 50% of the natives also have simple elemental magic. Ship Survivors will start after docking on the far side of the island. They have been lost for months at sea. There is only a handful of survivors aboard the ship, and they are just happy to be on land. Anyway they will at first have no idea about the natives, or where they are. The stars in the sky are in the wrong place and their compass just keeps spinning. The ship is a 1500s-1700s (undecided) British merchant ship, so keep in mind the time period/place your character is from. For simpicity sake there will not be a language barrier issue.

Interested. :)

I would also love to hear what would make you more interested in this idea, what you wish to see/do in IC, and any questions you have!

I’ll let you know tomorrow. I am laying down and on mobile. lol

What I can let you know now is that I’ll possibly be portraying a native, for now.

Awesome!

Bump

This sounds really fun, actually. Question, though. Would every survior have to be from London?

No, the ship only departed from London. They can be from any of the European or even Asian countries. Possibly even the America’s if the decided time period allows it. Whether they were a passenger, explorer, merchant, slave, sailor, captain, or stowaway is up to you.

Definitely interested!

I would like to see more of the lore if possible? Whatever you've fleshed out so I can better understand the island and natives itself... as much as your willing to divulge of course.

When I get back from work and into my laptop I’ll post some of the lore and information. For now here is a link to a Pinterest image board for inspiration and such. Disregard the natives appeanrce section, it does not show the variety of what the natives look like other then white/silver/gray hair. And I’m still contemplating if I want that to be the tribes look.

I actually do have an added question, given the time are morally problematic things apart of the world? (Like racism, misogyny, homophobia)

Yes. But it’s up to each individual character if they think that way or not. When creating a character you have to take into account when and how they were raised, and how/why they behave and believe the things they do.

On the island though it’s a different culture, so things such as misogyny, and racism are not a concept. Homosexuality on the island would be seen as odd because of the way there religion is structured. But they would not face banishment or hostility by other natives as it’s not taboo or illegal as it would be in old timey England.

On another note I will be creating the OOC and it will be up on Friday.
