This is a story of magical elements in a real world. A story of mystics, madmen, oracles, monsters, and Wizards; of racism and slavery, politics and war, corruption and creation, faith and logic. This story begins with the terrifying events of mythic legend, a town scorched black by the fires of a dragon. But it is set in the real world, it is surrounded by real events, and real people, and real-istic heroes. It begins in the town of Sintra, overlooked by the beautiful Sintra Mountains in Portugal, circa 1666. You are a person currently living in this small, partly coastal city on the day after the horrific events took place. From barmaid to banker, and explorer to saint, all who survived did so by seeking refuge in the mostly intact castle or barely intact monastery.

Those in power, who can culminate, fabricate, and discard with history in the most lethal of whims, seek a way to rid the world of the Dragon, and plunder any treasure that may accompany the beast into his dreams. It is to the courts dismay that on the docket to be killed the very next day is a man purporting to be the “Dread Captain Scar”, a mythical pirate and monster-killer. They free him, ask that he form a team of Monster Hunters, and with the blessings of the church, go into Morocco, where the Dragon’s lair is said to be, and end the creatures ungodly life. You are among the potential hunters. You may be strong or weak, smart or dull, Christian or Muslim or Pagan or Heathen; a rogue, an explorer, a monk, a historian, a scholar, or a prostitute. Whatever your skill set or affiliation, you will be chosen to attend this journey, chosen to undertake this most righteous of paths... this is righteous, isn’t it?

What the unwary voyagers of this expedition don’t know, and what they could never know, is that they are about to enter a world of fantasy. A world only ever spoken of in fairytales. The world that they knew to exist will have its ramparts blasted open, and the light of the truth may blind whoever dares step through the crumbled wreckage of the lies which kept them hostage there.

You're missing the notes field, but if you don't feel like you need it that's fine. As I said before, I have no qualms with accepting this outright.

I'll put it in the cast section in a little bit.

That looks pretty cool. You might run into timeline trouble, since they did most of their work in the later part of the 17th century into the early 18th. But if you can make it work, I see no issue with it.

Whatever you think needs to be said about him that does not fit anywhere else.

EDIT: Luysa is accepted and both characters have been put in the cast list.

That sounds pretty dope. Can't wait to see it.

EDIT: You'll notice that we have a new image for our RP with the title in it. It was constructed by my good friend Lillian Thorne. I think it is a really representative image that portrays a location in the world quite well.

My current WIP; it's early days but I'll try and get it finished tomorrow, once home. But yes, expect a slightly-egotistical - and a tad insane - Englishman with a penance for knowledge.

There is Emilio's CS. I've opened the IC for reading and posting. Everyone who has been accepted, referred to in the cast list, may begin posting.

Well now, this has attracted me. Man, I can't believe how much I don't know about the 17'th Century, I'm going to research the crap out of this time period-well, I do know about the Golden Age of Piracy. A Corsair from Algiers would be a interesting character.

I'm looking forward to those CS's being completed, Hellis and Awful. As well as seeing those first posts from Juice and iKo99.

If these guys don't check in tonight I'll hit them up with PM's. There's been a good deal of silence since the RP's been open.
