@DestinyStar
Umm, just so you know. The Captain of the ship is a she, not a he lol (or him for that matter). And, do you uh have a working image? I know it doesn't work for me at least XD
Not a GM, but I would like to know what the other characters at least look like lol
And stay the fuck away from my weapons or I'll break your kneecaps

@Lunarlors34

Bahaha Sorry, I wrote the history at 2am and my BRAIN knew the Captain was a she, but my hands thought the opposite. Fixing now, also working on getting a working link for pic. No promises on weapons though, bwahaha.

Though @Zelosse I did include some info on how she came aboard the ship, maybe not super thorough though. Also fixing. Going through the current IC posts too so I'm up to speed. :)

Personality: Ka likes to think of herself as "spontaneous" and "fearless", but she is often known to get in the way. Her stubborn attitude often gets her into trouble, but she envisions herself as a future leader aboard the vessel. When complimented, she can get quite full of herself, but her need to be needed makes her eager to please. Ka is always the first to volunteer for a new task, no matter how dangerous or above her caliber it may be. In addition, she is known to shirk her duties as she searches for "higher" opportunities. She feels her talent is wasted just cleaning the ship as she seeks to prove herself; a True Spitfire.

History Ka was born deep in the slums of a dock city struggling to stay afloat. Her parents were young when they had her, but sought to provide the best life for her. Although they remained optimistic, their hopes were shaken when Ka began to crawl and move around on her own. She would constantly bump into things, falling over and even ending up in the ocean on more than one occasion. It was easy for them to see that their darling daughter had problems with her vision. But with her father working day and night as an unsuccessful mercenary, and her mother just barely scrounging together enough money from selling rags she had sewn together, they had no access to a doctor for their daughter.

This resulted in Ka being raised within a very sheltered environment. Her mother was afraid to let her outside, worried she may be taken by the rough waves, so she spent much of her life behind tin walls. As she grew older, she was forbidden from helping with chores or even accompanying her parents out in public. Rumors began to spread of a child cursed by elves, and her parents became ashamed. Ka felt trapped in that room. She spent many of her days sitting by the open window, with the sun on her face, dreaming of the outside and wishing she had not been born so deformed.

It was only when tragedy struck that she decided to take action. Her father did not come home one evening, and she felt the weight of the world placed on her mother's shoulders. She put up a tough facade, but Ka could hear her mother's heart break with each tear behind that locked door. So, late one night, while her mother slept, Ka escaped through that open window in search of a solution. If she could find a cure to her blindness, she could take some of her mother's burden. She could be useful for the first time in her life.

As she felt her way around the town, she found herself lost and confused, pleading to the universe for a miracle. She ended up in the hands of a witch doctor, who promised to heal her eyes for a steep price that at the time remained unnamed. In a leap of youthful faith, Ka accepted the witch's terms. She was then woven into a deep sleep, and woke up a full week later to find the miracle had come true- she saw the blue sky for the first time, the docks, the endless ocean. The world seems to go on forever and she felt like she could do anything! Her worries were over, her mother's worries were over... She was free!

Or so she thought. The price for her sight was more than she could have ever dreamed. When she returned home, she found her mother bedridden, having fallen ill with worry while Ka was away. She was free to enjoy the world and all of its splendor, but at the cost of her mother's freedom.

It was soon after this that Ka came to work on the Great Aquarius. She could find no other job that would take her, as she had wasted her life away in that room with no skills to show for it. She tried other jobs in the dock town, from fishing to hauling supplies, but as she was small she was often beaten and laughed at. It was when her magic began to develop, born from her need to defend herself, that the captain took notice and brought Ka aboard her ship. It was when she was left in an ally, nearly left for dead, that Delilah reached out her generous hand and offered this stranger a job aboard her ship. It wasn't much of a job, just cleaning the deck and the cabins, but thanks to her generosity, the newly-sighted young lass was able to provide her mother with medicine and money to live comfortably until she passed several years later, having died peacefully with no worries. And on top of that Ka got to see sights and places she could never have imagined.

To this day, Ka admires and respects the captain, and even seeks to be like her, to give the rest of her thus-far meaningless life to this ship and its crew. She vowed to never take her vision for granted, and can often be seen taking in every sight, trying to remember every detail. Her efforts may be misguided and reckless, but she moves forward with a confidence that only the captain is able to reign in.

Weapons

• Hand Pistol
• Small Dagger
• Any big weapon she can get her hands on and is probably not allowed to use.

Magic (Magic revolving around fire is now considered taboo so few have any real strength with it.)

• Minor Levitation Magic (founded in her laziness)
• Force Fields (born from self-defense, magic which she can presently only use around herself; it is her goal to never use it again, as that would be considered cowardice)

Other: Cursed by the world, Ka does not believe in God... but she wears her mother's cross as a sign of her determination to always press onward, as her parents did.

Cinera
Floor 4 - Angel's Rest - Lvl 26

A warm breeze swept through the town as people hustled and bustled through the streets, talking and laughing as they explored the still fairly-new town of Angel's Rest. She looked down into the crowds from her perch on the top of a hill just outside of town, smiling fairly as the golden rays of the sun rested on her cheeks. The fourth floor... Finally! It had taken them awhile to make even this much progress, and though she was a bit dismayed at how much effort it had taken, she allowed herself a moment of peace to bask in their new accomplishment. The World Walkers are keeping a steady pace behind the frontrunners. Good. Like this, we'll be able to provide for everyone. And we have the resources...

Over the past few weeks, they had made quite a few connections with vendors and suppliers and the like popping out of the game. Many players had begun to take their businesses seriously as they finally sunk into the reality of the situation. Cinera was still secretly frightened, herself, but a newfound confidence had taken hold of her the more they progressed through the game. They had a couple close calls, but ultimately they had been able to protect everyone in their guild. Delcastle was busier than ever, but Cinera was proud to be part of his team, helping to bring support to the players who needed it. More than anything, he seemed to rely on her more, which made her very happy. A slight crimson appeared on her cheeks as she thought about him, and a pang touched her heart.

I... I need to get back to work. Swiftly, she ran and leapt from the top of the hill, sliding down the side of it on the soles of her shoes. Her orange, tangled hair whipped in the wind behind her as she moved toward the town. Her task today was to check in with the shop owners of the new area, as many of them were new merchants deciding to open up here, permanently. This was a good time to start up networking, to keep bonds between here and the upper floors as they progressed. Some players had already given up on advancing, but they wanted to keep them informed as they moved further into the game. Even more so, the resources from lower floors might differ from those above, so certain items may only be able to be created down here - they needed to have access to all types of items, in case they were needed to progress.

Cinera had returned to town in a flash, now calmly walking into the crowd of people in the streets. Their guild mates were all accomplishing their own feats, but she couldn't help to wonder what had happened to those old men, or the girl with the eyepatch and their team. After completing that quest, they seemed to practically vanished. The oldest gentleman was a guild leader, right? She couldn't help but to think about them in this crucial time, after yet another large achievement. As well as the young man with the jackal, or his friend. But of course, her mind drifted back Delcastle and the task at hand. I'll have to find some time to explore, tonight...

BUT NOW I HAVE TIME! YAY! Can I jump back in? Pretty please??? :D

The Price of a Glorious Night

Allison quickly buried her face in her hands, unable to control the sobs as he moved to sit next to her in the booth. Her heart ached, and all she could think about was how badly she had fucked up. Everything had been fun up until now, and although she hated her job she still tried to enjoy life to the fullest. Now it felt like a giant chain was wrapped around her neck. A child? She had never wanted that. In all honesty, she had thought she wouldn't ever find anyone who would want to deal with her on a real, emotional level. She wasn't the easiest person to handle, if he couldn't tell that already. It felt like her world was crumbling, and she was trapped under the wreckage - alone, lost, and scared.

Except she wasn't alone. Here was this stranger, a pretty boy that she'd fucked because she felt like it, willing to help her with this child. Normally someone might feel warm and fuzzy inside from something like this, but Allison just felt more on edge. It just didn't add up for him to want to help her. What if it wasn't even his? He might just be concerned about the baby because he wants a child. Maybe he plays with women hoping this will happen. Whatever his reason, it's not like it's out of care for me...

Slowly, she turned to look at him. Sean had a very calming look in his eyes. She didn't trust it, but something about his gaze put her at ease. If he really wants to help me, he has no idea what he's in for... Slowly, she began to regain her composure and wiped the tears from her face. Her vain mind even thought, I hope my makeup isn't too smudged... "I... I don't know what the next step is," she admitted. "I don't even know anything about being pregnant... or raising a child. Do you?" Her eyes bore into his as she tried to understand him just a bit more, anything to help get rid of this sick feeling in her stomach. "Look... I know I'm the one who called you here, and I don't want to be rude, but you don't really seem like the type to want a child. So why would you help me? I could be crazy. I heard children require a lot of time and care, so you'd have to be around me all the time... I don't think that's something you'd really want, to be honest. I'm not the most, uh... pleasant... person."

Maybe he did really understand what is going on here. But while he seemed nice, she couldn't help feeling like this was all her fault. His life didn't need to be ruined just because she made some stupid choices.
