Pirates Vs Mermaids

The two were locked in their struggle for a moment. "A spy?" she asked, confused. "Stop trying to confuse me!" she exclaimed next. What puzzled Balon was that she seemed genuinely confused by what he was saying. She was not a spy then... But what she said next finally revealed it to him. "You-Will-Not-Take-My-Home. You-Will-Not-Enslave-My-People." By the gods... It's a mermaid! Balon thought in astonishment. He had heard they were real but never actually seen or met one. He had also heard what humans did to them under the dictator's rule. Curses... She thinks I'm the bad guy... he thought, but his thoughts were cut short when she drew her head back and headbutted him hard in the face. Sure it hurt, but when he was finished clenching his eyes shut it seemed to him that it hurt more on the girl. Poor thing probably had no idea how to do a proper headbutt. Surprised once more was he however when she decided to lunge for the other sword that had rolled away in the struggle. He was able to keep her held which caused her lunge to turn into a faceplant into the rocks. "Oh fuck that must've hurt!.." he exclaimed aloud as he quickly took advantage of the situation to wrestle the sword free and with a quick motion held it against her neck. With his other hand, he still held her wrist tightly, putting it up on her back in an armlock to try to subdue her."You're at my mercy now, woman, and I want some answers. I'm gonna ask you a few questions, and you're going to answer them. You understand?"
If she responded with a nod or some kind of 'yes', he would proceed to ask her the questions. "I'll start with this: what are you, and who are you?" he says sternly but not harshly to begin with. "Next, do you have any idea of who we are?" Lastly, he leaned in closer to her (but not creepily close) to ask the final question: "Are you friend... Or foe?"

@evangelyne holy fuck dude

Ultikana I'll be honest, I'm super confused by all those names. Also you start with nothing but the clothes on your back, so no resources at start and no city up yet. It's just a town for now.
Think starting from scratch.

I was afraid you were going to mention that,

@KaiserAuto

Sorry bro ):

How big is the scale on the map? 1 : 1 000 000? 1 : 5 000 000?

@Evangelyne

Oh gosh I have no idea... When it comes to these questions and like "How much time is a turn, exactly?" I'm just like... shit.
But in all honesty, the time of a turn can vary. Hours, days, weeks depending on what you're doing but for the sake of fluency it will be one of those things that will never be explained because it just complicates things too much.
When it comes to the scale of the map, just imagine it would take you several days to travel from the north-eastern mountain to the coast closest. So it's quite big. Idunno in what scale bro.

175 men, 75 women then!
Your call where you wanna be, man. I see what you mean with the climate zones and all but the reason there's snowy climates in the west and not just generally in the north is because the western mountains are much more elevated (higher above sea-level) than the eastern peninsula. Also seeing as it's fantasy I didn't really care much for climate zones. North is generally colder, yes, but this is but one continent on this world that we know of. Who knows where on the world-map this continent is actually located?

"Yeah... The hot water." Balon responded, grinning wide. He watched her curiously as she got lost in thought. He could almost see the gears grinding in her head. What was she thinking?
Suddenly, a scream for help came from the forest. Was it Drake? Before he knew it, the woman leaped towards him with such speed one could think she had sprinted in water all her life. She slammed into him, but he endured. He cushioned the fall and felt her knees pin his legs down. The sword! he realized a second too late, but managed to grab the hilt. As the two battled over the blades, one of them (the swords) rolled away from arm's reach, further back. His hand covered hers on the handle of the blade and he struggled to keep her contained. With his other hand, he grabbed her other wrist and held her. "What are you playing at?!" he demanded, his grin having been replaced with a serious frown. "You some sorta spy? An assassin in the service of the dictator?!" his voice became gradually higher as he asked. No assassin would take his life. Not today, not ever. He stared into her eyes as he held her hand and wrist, struggling to keep her from taking the sword and slashing his throat.
He had completely forgotten, he was completely nude.

Kaiser is right. You will start off with basicly 200-300 in numbers depending on the overall growth of your race. You cannot claim specific regions, especially not such a huge area on the map for yourself. You start with but a single settlement.
I advice you to carefully read the OOC to be fully aware of how this RP will start. If you feel like I haven't explained it well enough, I'll be glad to add more information!

Also, Kaiser, I like your intro post but it's super duper long! All you really had to do was choose dwarves :P the massive background can go here in the character section! Although I wont discourage you from writing these posts, you obviously put a lot of thought and inspiration into this. Well done.
Oh and... How many men, women and children? If any children at all, that is.

Edit: Also ultikana can you specify the averages, weaknesses and strengths of the minotaur? Their growth, tech, etc?

Edit 2: Kaiser, when you mean tundra, do you really mean the eastern peninsula and not the western one? Seeing as east is leaf-tree and grass plains while west is pineforest and hills.

"Now now, don't be mean." Balon said, grinning. "I may be many things but pompous isn't one of them." Not anymore at least, he thought. He saw her gaze switch from him to his clothes. She probably could put two and two together - Balon was as naked as a plucked chicken. At first he thought it might not be just the clothes she was eyeing, but when her face turned red he couldn't help but snicker. "Don't be shy, I'm just a man." he said, shrugging nonchalantly. "You're a special one though, aren't you? Pointy ears, white hair, purple hued skin... Or well, it's red now but I suppose that's from the heat of the spring water, yes?" he said, grinning and tossing a quick glance back at his swords. Good, they were still there.
Is she a native from this island? Some kinda fairy? ... Am I dreaming? he thought to himself, stunned by her beauty but for a moment.

Name: Lizu Hashimoto
Age: 15
Appearance:

Appearance

Personality: Outgoing and physical. Likes to joke around and cause trouble and is never one to back down from a fight. She is quite protective of her friends however and would never see them left alone or hurt by anyone. Sees herself as something of a "big sister" and tends to surround herself with people who she can rely on, and who can rely on her. Incredibly dependent on attention.
Level: 4
Power: Air Bounce - Can cause combustion in the air in pinpointed locations, which means she can cause explosions in a range from tiny sparks to huge wall-blowing booms. Being at level three, however, she sometimes has a hard time controlling the explosion which may cause it to backfire. Her powers originate from being able to manipulate the oxygen in the air, which means she can also cause dust explosions or wind ripples. Doesn't matter if it's raining outside, if there is oxygen in the air she can combust it.
As she is adept at manipulating the atmosphere, she can also redirect the different gases in the air to increase or decrease the oxygen level in an area for example. This is what made her dub the power "air bounce", as she could bounce oxygen between explosions to increase their effect.
History: Somewhat of a "delinquent", she never focused much on her studies which means her power level is credited mostly to talent. Sure she attends school, and she passes most of the tests, but she tends to skip classes sometimes to hang out with other ruffians. This has made her somewhat of a disappointment to her parents who keep nagging her about if she studied, she could become a level five "for sure". She tends not to listen though and instead spends time on the streets.
Due to her tendencies of getting in fights, her parents decided that if they can't stop her they might as well help her protect herself so that she wont get sent to the hostpital... So they signed her up for kick-boxing classes, of which she protested all the way there only to love it afterwards. She spends more time there nowadays than out in the streets picking fights, so her parents see it as a kind of success from their part.
Now all that's left is for her to find some real friends and pick up her studies...
