A fantasy world named Herdearcas in which landmass to ocean proportions mirror earth. This world is filled with the myths sailors believed in their lifetime and the most well known one's in their profession. Sailing and piracy are wide spread and among the most popular professions with there being two major empires named Yveren which controls the western hemisphere and Otyoren which controls the eastern hemisphere who employ sailors and two major pirates named captain Kyren The Wise and Captain Gyuxen The Fiend who have made quite a name for themselves in the pirating world. Magic is also in abundance and gives an advantage in naval combat as well as land. The technology is similar of the golden age of piracy in our world 1650's-1730's. This means basic weapons will include Flintlock firearms , swords ,daggers ,and cannons. Though there are special weapons that your OC's May get through their travels or through other various means. Ships will be sails only such as they were in the time period and will be a part of naval combat which I will explain.
Most of this rp will take place in and under the ocean as well as on a ship in which Neptune gifts to our lucky OC's. This is not to say there won't be story arcs that take place on land as well they just won't be as much of a focus as the naval part of the story. When underwater certain combat mechanics will change such as which weapons are allowed and what you can do. Also the only way your character will be able to breath underwater is with a spell, if their race allows it or if they are able to get a constant source of oxygen.
Furthermore in this fantasy world there are different races that are available to you. The main races that are in this world are , Humans , Angels, Demons, and the Wave-Blessed. All of these I will expand on how numerous they are and what their abilities and history are.

The plot goes as following, Our OC's are lovers of the sea. Whether they have only been sailing for a few months or years on end they love what they do and just as importantly are good at what they do. These few people have caught the eye of Neptune for a perilous quest. They must sail the seven seas in search of his fabled trident which has been stolen. Neptune has promised to aid our unlikely hero's in their search which will be revealed through the story. The Lord of the Sea has also promised a compensation should they recover his trident and survive the quest. While this is the main objective our OC's may get sidetracked if you will. For example say our hero's have pulled into port to resupply and a village is being terrorized by bandits. Even though our heros mission is to recover the trident they may choose to go help this village.
They also may get other quests from the empires or even major pirate crews if you will to spice up their adventure and keep a small sense of realism in that we as humans get sidetracked all the time. While these little quests seem worthless they could get your OC better gear or a cool unique spell that even though it doesn't match their magic they can still use it!

This section will explain the four core races of this rp. Now if you would like to make your OC a different race or even create your own race to be added to this section DM me and we will talk about it. Most likely if the idea is cool and doesn't seem to overpowered I will say yes!
Magic is a mystical force which allows the inhabitants of this world to perform things that seem impossible. A man could make himself stronger with magic or breathe underwater or even light a while forest on fire. Magic often gives an edge in fights and if the magic user is experienced often since when faced against a bladesmen alone who does not preform magic. Magic also runs on magical energy which varies from race to race. This energy is what determines how powerful of a spell one can cast and the amount of spells they can cast before they get tired. High magical energy means powerful spell and more spells.
Remember the more powerful a spell is the more magical energy it uses. Magic is also usually categorized as a technique, the technique is unique to whoever is the magic user. These technique names are almost always sea related as well for example say your OC uses fire magic. Their technique could be called "blaze of the fire coral " etc. Magic can also be used anyway you want to the most common being elemental, healing, enhancing, necromancy etc.

Combat will be mainly narrative without stats and such. Combat scenes will also be to move the story along, side stories , character growth. I expect you to show as your character getting tired as they fight or use magic. Firearms once fired will take a post to reload and if a Wave-blessed your abilities once used only last for two posts minimum depending on how long your character has been blessed and won't be able to be used for the duration of the fight afterwards. Ship combat will also be narrative and will include boarding , cannons which once fired will take two posts to reload and the ship getting damaged.
