Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
Creaking wood. The shuffle of feet above. A murmur of whispers. The rush of the ocean. The woven rope of a hammock biting into your skin. This is not where you fell asleep.
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
A lamp burns nailed to a table; it casts shadows like monsters on the raw bark walls. A few sprigs of green grow out of the twisted fissures in the wood. Did that wall just move? No, a trick of the lamplight, surely.

The Premise
This is a whimsical, hyper-fantasy, folklore-inspired roleplay about exploration, creativity and character development. Your character will begin without knowledge, without skills, without weapons, without supplies. All they know is they fell asleep in their own bed and woke up in the belly of a ship woven out of living wood. All they have are the clothes on their backs and their own wit. Your woefully unprepared character will be presented with the opportunity to interact with the ship, with each other, and with the inhabitants of the islands along the way: only through these interactions -- and the resulting domino-effect of events -- will the true nature of the nameless vessel reveal itself.
Character Application
Name:
Age:
Appearance: (A description, a picture, or both.)

Guidelines
- This RP will be run in the exploratory style of action and response: when a character interacts with the environment or with NPCs in any way, something will occur in response. In order to move the story forward, each character must actively touch, taste, smell, look, listen, and speak.
- Players should be prepared for their characters' failure. Decisions your character makes won't always turn out the way they expect. Characters will make mistakes, they will be ridiculed, and they will be maimed without warning.
- If for any reason you'd like to reroll a new character, simply say so in the OOC. Your character will be removed IC in a satisfying fashion, and you will be free to create another to explore with.
- Should you wish or need to permanently leave the RP for any reason, please let us know in the OOC. Your character will be removed IC.
- Nothing is what it seems.
- My PM box is always open. Don't hesitate to contact me should you have ideas, concerns, or suggestions.

Occupation: Gardener
Personality: Suichi is a kind soul. He loves plants and animals, especially cats. He is a hard worker that tries to inspire others to have the same work ethic. When he is pushed into a corner his personality becomes very direct and takes all actions possible to deal with the issue at hand. While he can end up regretting the decisions he makes, he doesn't let that stop him from moving forward.
History: Suichi was raised by his father and never knew his mother who died during childbirth. He was fortunate to have survived himself and until he turned 17 had health issues that prevented him from too much phyiscal activity. He spent a lot of his time in his father's flower shop and inherited his father's enjoyment of the job. He ended up taking over the shop when his father retired and ran a successful business with his wife. Now he's happy with his life... but not for long...
