[[CANCELLED!!]] Corsairs and Buccaneers - an Anime Pirate roleplay

I like Cass, she sounds fun. :)

You probably should take another look at the Rules though, before I can approve her~

@Xaltwind

Oh yeah, fixed that one up.

[[CANCELLED!!]] Corsairs and Buccaneers - an Anime Pirate roleplay

Wanted to get some thoughts on it, if I need more detail or anything.

Cass

Appearance:

I'm just gonna put the link to the image here because it's not gonna embed nicely

Height: 6'1"
Eye Color: Golden Orange
Hair Color: White (sometimes appears gray due to gunpowder fouling getting everywhere)

Name: Cass
Age: 25-Ish(she doesn't really know)
Race: Beastman
Gender: F

Background: Wild Beastman (Wolf)
Occupation: Armorer

Personality:
Cass is brash, loud, and impulsive. She is no stranger to taking something she is interested in - often by force. Despite her abrasive tendencies, she rarely holds a grudge and often will forget fights amongst fellow crewmates without much time. She doesn't hesitate to show her enthusiasm for alcohol and firearms - often at the same time - in any situation.

History:
Cass was said to have been found while a crew was run aground on a remote island along the Savage Belt. In an attempt to solicit her help, the crew tried to bribe her with paltry baubles - fake gold, glass gems, the like - until they gave up and offered her their rum, to which she took such a liking to that she refused to leave the ship. And from then on, she worked to become a full-fledged pirate, learning to talk and handle duties among the ship.

Among her first crew was an aged gunsmith who took her under his wing and taught her his trade. After countless accidents and learning experiences, she made a name for herself amongst the crew as a crack shot as well as resourceful armorer. In fact, some of the only times she is ever found being quiet is when tending a cannon or blunderbuss.

----------

Life Goal: The best liquor in all the world

Reason:
Cass has heard of whispers of the rarest and most coveted treasure amongst pirates: A drink so legendary that it would bring even the saltiest captain to tears. Ever since, she has wondered how she might find it.

Skills:
Marksmanship
Gunsmithing
Drinking
Doing all of the above at the same time

Equipment:
Custom-Made Musket: A musket that Cass uses as essentially a continuous gunsmithing project. It is in surprisingly neat order, and has been tinkered with for exceptional accuracy. It also features a custom bayonet.
Spare pistols: Cass carries many pistols and keeps several of them on her person (each loaded and ready, of course) if she's expecting a fight. After raids and fights she is often seen plundering any fallen enemies of their pistols to add to her collection.
Gunsmithing tools: Despite rumors that she uses her tail to clean firearms, she has tools to do that for her.

Pirate Parameters:
Strength: B
Perception: A
Vitality: B
Intellect: E
Wits: D
Agility: C
Charisma: B (until she opens her mouth, then C-)
Luck: C

[[CANCELLED!!]] Corsairs and Buccaneers - an Anime Pirate roleplay

I, for one, amn't losing sleep on it.

[[CANCELLED!!]] Corsairs and Buccaneers - an Anime Pirate roleplay

I'm working out what kinda character I might want to do. Currently feeling something different than what I normally play, so probably something along the classic pirate line of loud, crass, and on the hunt for the best liquor the world can produce. There will be no subtlety from me, rest assured.

Anime-Pirate RP idea

General piracy sounds pretty fun to me! I'll put in my interest

Tales Of Shizuyama (Far-Eastern Monster Girl RP)

Io at Terauchi Temple

@Hammerman@The Irish Tree@PaulHaynek @AzureKnight @Rezod92 @Crowvette @Nakushita @Restalaan

Io took her time tending to wounded as well as she could. Io's growing hunger (or perhaps thirst) for magical energy was becoming more pronounced, especially after the various magic she expended during the battle, but she shoved it aside to aid the survivors of the battle. Of course, she also took note of those who did not survive. Io would have considered this battlefield quite a promising area had the situation surrounding it and her stay at Shizuyama been different. She was on her best behavior, of course, and idle experimentation with such a large amount of corpses would not look good to anyone.

When she had done all that she could, she would join the impromptu strategic meeting that formed amidst the leaders and task force members. "I can help with any of these. Though perhaps the raid would be the best for me." Io would rather be in a situation to attack than rescue, all things considered. She would leave the rescue operation to those with a more suited skill set.

Io's brow furrowed at the discussion of anti-magic. To the others, it may have been the most emotion she had displayed since she came to Shizuyama. "To think they would use such things." The concept of sending them back as projectiles amused Io - a barbaric solution to a barbaric problem. "I wonder how they achieve nullification." There were many avenues to do so, though to a layman the end result would seem the same. She would have wanted to study one of their obelisks, except...

There was a fundamentally troubling issue with anti-magic, in that Io was in no small part suffused with magic from head to toe. 'I may need to inform the Task Force...' She thought to herself. Though it pained Io to reveal a weakness of hers, as well as pained what twisted sense of pride she had, it was true. '...I may need to be physically carried if I am put too far into an anti-magic field...' While it was unlikely that she would be destroyed outright from anti-magic (she had studied extensive contingencies for this), it was very possible that she would not be able to move if put under a strong anti-magic field.

Io would have to find the right time. Not in front of so many people that didn't need to know. And ideally, she would pick someone reliable, level-headed, and unlikely to reveal the secret unless it was absolutely necessary.

'Ah.' A bead of sweat (or perhaps just water from her previously cast spells) rolled down Io's brow. 'Finding someone that fits all of those may be difficult.' She dryly thought to herself as she looked over the task force members near her.

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

Alex

@KillamriX88

Alex had an uncomfortable realization.

After explaining everything, she was supposed to feel at least a little better. But she didn't. She had been away from Wolf for a while, but she could feel things were off. Just like Vera, he didn't seem right. It wasn't the exact same as Vera, but it was still wrong.

Alex sharply inhaled, the feeling in her stomach physically translating to trouble breathing. 'I don't even know what's wrong. Do I be more assertive? Do I give Wolf distance? Is it even something on my end?' Alex wracked her mind for options. 'Do I do the opposite of what I did with Vera? W-What were the exact actions I took with her again...? This isn't some stupid video game, that's not going to work at all!' Alex felt like if she acted naturally, things would progress to something... Something she didn't like.

She had to act out. Anything to break out of whatever was currently going on. She might scream into her pillow a year from now thinking about it, but...

"I entered that tournament with the name of an old character of mine. Actually, I kind of just played it as her entirely." Alex had to break eye contact for a moment, to steel herself for doing something embarrassing. "Do you remember? This one was just between us two, since Vera wouldn't have 'got' it..." She struck a pose - her arms crossed, one hand dramatically covering half of her face. "Andras. The demon who walked amongst the Rheans. Who broke the contract of light and dark, free to carry out her own whim." She intentionally lowered her voice to add effect, just as she had did years ago.

She relaxed her pose, and returned back to the timid Alex. "I thought winning the tournament would have been... Well, I wanted to come back with something awesome under my belt, since my gift-" Alex nearly froze in place as she realized she never explained to Wolf what her gift had become. "My gift completely changed!" Her cards flared into existence around her, each a flat, featureless square of softly glowing gold light. "It's... Uh... Complicated. Actually, the last part of my time in the hospital was moreso the therapists trying to understand how it worked... They kept saying it was unsafe and delayed releasing me over and over..."

Royal Rumble: Rumble over the Heavens

Alex

@KillamriX88

Alex wondered if she had found Vera on a good or a bad day. Obviously she would like to imagine it as a bad day, but the thought of the alternative ran shivers down her spine.

She wasn't keeping it together, either way. Wolf could tell she was withholding information. "Well, I ran into her at-"

Her voice caught in her throat as she called to mind the details of that night. 'Should I be telling Wolf that I made up a persona to enter illicit fighting competitions? Or that Vera is attending them too? ...And that we were all in serious danger when things got out of hand at that time?'

Alex took a step forward. "C-Can we go somewhere more private to discuss this?" She gave a shifty look around, seeing the various students walking past the gates to return to their homes.

...Alex had always wanted to say that. If the situation wasn't so close to home, she might have had a moment to think about how cool it was.

She quickly guided Wolf a block or two away from the school's gate, ducking into a secluded alleyway. Taking a deep breath, she took a few steps from Wolf and put together what she was going to say.

"So. I ran into her at the Midnight Tournament..." Alex was sure that Wolf knew what that entailed. "And we were matched up against each other..." She turned to look at Wolf. "She seemed happy at first to see me, but then during our match things got more heated."

She took a moment to collect her thoughts, before quickly remembering something. "W-We weren't the ones who caused that giant commotion! It was completely unrelated to us!"

Alex realized that Wolf may not have learned about the incident at the midnight tournament, but she had spoke too quickly to cover that up now.

"I tried to talk to her about everything, but it left off on a rough spot, and we had to leave quickly. So..." Alex sighed, crossing her arms and holding herself. "I don't know...

Alex's face was turning red, but she caught herself before she let out any tears. Going over it again only reminded her of how terrible it had all felt.

Tales Of Shizuyama (Far-Eastern Monster Girl RP)

Io

Io simply looked down at the defeated Varjans. "No need to worry about me." She briefly studied the warlock's body, trying to note anything of interest. She knew little about Varjan magecraft, but most of her experiences with it in the field exposed it as... unrefined. Unfortunately there was little to learn from the body either way. She gave a nod to her comrades. "Good work. But there is likely more work from here on out."

The enemies had been driven off, though Io knew that there was plenty for her to do. She turned to return to the battle line and called to mind her best restorative spells. In her body, there was the slightest twinge of something. Was it concern? Perhaps. Perhaps Io held a slight, tiny sliver of concern for the people she left at the battle lines. Human and mamono. 'I'll heal them if anything happened. There's no problem.' She brushed the unfamiliar feeling aside as she made her way back.

Tales Of Shizuyama (Far-Eastern Monster Girl RP)

Io

The Varjans had slain their own prisoners. It was a development Io had not seen coming, but given what she knew there were perhaps some explanations for what they did. It certainly wasn't the move she would have made - even if the prisoners needed to die, there were more practical ways to do so while still extracting use from them. 'The lich wondering why the soldiers prefer their allies dead than alive. How ironic.' Io dryly noted the irony, though she took no joy in seeing the outcome of the situation.

Io was frozen for a moment considering the new development, but the clashing of steel regained her attention. Takeshi had come to her aid - and not just the human, but also Skarsneek and the sisters Hangai. Takeshi had stopped the brunt of their first attack, and Io needed to follow up before the human was hurt.

"Get back, Takeshi!" Io called out as she directed her mists to focus around the two Varjan elites. Before they could understand what exactly was happening, Io activated the lightning charge, electrifying the elites and the very air around them. Io wanted to make sure they neutralized the mage, and taking care of his guards was a necessary step.
