Hurica, the Land of the Undesirables

[Cultural Titan]

Due to the recent political upheaval, your own crimes or bad luck you find yourself chained to the wall on a boat full of prisoners. You have been exiled to Hurica, the ancient and previously abandoned birthplace of man. For centuries the previous dynasty has exiled beasts and monstrous races to the continent "for their own good," but the new emperor thought it prudent to remove his own undesirables in the same way.

Hurica is an overgrown and savage land,but beneath it all is a history of forgotten gods, lost technology and stories of ancient treasure. A door slams open and light meets your eyes for the first time in days revealing all the other starving and disgusting passengers. One of the crew members stands there with a whip. "Land!" the sailor announces. "Pick yourselves up!" you are brought up to the surface where you can see the magnificent green wilderness of Hurica and the shanty town on a cliff that would become your new home.

maybe?
pretty obviously 'murica tho XD

[Cultural Titan]

Actually not really. I may need to rename the continent now though...

[LeonVon]

Interested!

Just out of curiosity, what would our overall goal or quest be? Like are we going to end up trying to save the world or making a life for ourselves or something else entirely?

[Cuccoruler]

Also interested

but I do have a question, are were-bears allowed?

[Cultural Titan]

Somewhere between being heroes and making a life for yourselves is my original intent. I'm not sure I was going to put the world on the line though. Regardless I'm totes okay with bending the goal one way or another if players want to go in some direction. Like if everyone wanted to make a boat and sail right back to where they came from and overthrow the government in vengeance. Probably not that, probably trying to adventure and make a place for yourselves on the continent, but I aim to please.

EDIT: @Cuccoruler

Maybe... not gonna lie something that theoretically dangerous may have been killed by the crew on the way over... that or they would have been banished to Hurica way in advance. I guess I'm just trying to circle around saying no without being mean.

[Cuccoruler]

I kinda had a feeling, Don't worry about it!

anywho, I'm still interested and the idea of sailing back and overthrowing the government sounds way more fun XD

Ok cool! Can't wait for the OOC and IC to be up!

[canaryrose]

Hmm. Sounds quite interesting.

[canaryrose]

FUCK THIS WAS A MISTAKE

@Cultural Titan

Nope, 'Murica, Land of the Undesirables is pretty fitting actually...

Good observation, @Infamous Empath

_{interested by the way ;)}

[Melandrach]

Ooh, could I join this? I am totally interested.

There are certainly enough people to get going assuming that the majority of those interested play so I guess I should start working on an ooc and an ic.

@AbysmalDemon

Okay I guess I really am going to have to rename the continent... really I was going for human, since it was supposed to be their home continent so i took Hu and put some syllables after it. I even looked it up on google and the only thing it gave me that used the name was some old hurricane god, so I felt relatively confident that it was going to be a name not really tied to anything else. I must be blind.

[Infamous Empath]

Well, its probably my fault because I was thinking of politics when i went to the interest check section and then misread it as 'Murica. I'm probably the only person on the planet who thought that, so dont worry about it. I'm weird.

ooc is up. I spent a while trying to think of what to put there, but really since the characters know virtually nothing about the world they are going to it didn't make sense to really put anything.

@Cultural Titan

Aw now I feel bad that you're going to change it. Hurica is good, especiallly since it's tied to a Huricane God.
