Dead Cruise

Can I say that my character won a trip there?

@Nuttynad

Of course! How you happened to be on the Hippo's Destiny is entirely up to you. Whether you're just a rich bastard and could afford tickets outright, or whether you've stolen someone's place/money, or won a ticket in a competition - anything really. So long as its semi-credible.

Dead Cruise

does this happen before the Apocalypse starts or like when its halfway through

@nerminator

You were on a cruise ship, just chilling out or partying, you know, cruise-ship stuff, then suddenly everyone starts going bat shit crazy. You managed to get away to a safe place, but then realise you're stuck on a cruise ship and aren't really certain if help is coming or not. So then you decide you gotta escape. That is essentially all there is to know. So your character, unless they've been asleep all night, would be fully aware that the cruise ship is surging with angry, feverish holiday goers that want to murder them.

Isn't Skharn from Skyrims tutorial?

@nerminator

That was the source of my inspiration for him, yes.

XD No! No abhorrence at all! It's just uh...never expected it and had to do a double take. Definitely an interesting concept and animal companions are always needed. Truthfully I hope Saarebas does accept it. ^.^

@Rusalka

I was hoping for Skharn to be independent, and that any consequential pairings with other characters was something to be established through the RP. However, if everyone would like Skharn to be friendly and snugly from the get go, then I'm sure I can re-write his bio. Maybe tie him in with Tarja or anyone else who wants a big flea bag following them around. If nothing else, he'd make for an awesome shopping cart when you can't carry any more of those damn dragon bones. We'll see what the GM has to say on matters.

Dead Cruise

Holidaying on a luxury world class cruise liner, the Hippo’s Destiny, seemed like the vacation of a life time. With each ticket costing a whopping $45,000, getting yourself on the ship was nothing short of bank breaking – unless you were from the more fortunate backgrounds, of course. Still though, it was worth it right? The Hippo’s Destiny is just one giant floating city with a 24/7 night life. Designed with young people in mind, the ship boasts plenty of bars, clubs, takeaway outlets, swimming pools, sports grounds and everything else these kinds of liners tend to lack. With the drinks flowing, the dance floors heaving and the DJs spinning, you prepared yourself for 4 whole weeks of partying bliss as the big white mammoth of a ship traversed itself slowly around the Mediterranean. That was, until everything turned into a horror freak show. Some kind of illness spread amongst the passengers and crew – a harsh fever, which rapidly turned its victims violent with rage. Before you had time to sink your second JD and coke of the night, these sick people spewed into whatever premise you happened to be occupying, and began attacking everyone. Not really knowing how you escaped, you’ve managed to reach a secure place and have bolted the door shut, but now what? The screams have stopped, but there’s no alarms, no call for evacuation, and that constant banging going on in the corridor is certainly not one of the ship’s crew trying to wake someone up. It’s time to arm yourself, hatch a plan of escape, and get off this luxury nightmare of feverish horror.

Rules

- Posts to be no more than 300 words in length (though I won’t be draconian with this). If you can’t advance your character’s story in 300 words, then you need to stop describing that beautiful biscuit tin over there on the counter. - There are no guns on this ship. - There are no war veterans on the ship. I know, crazy right? - There are no 14yo anime chicks on this ship either, keep your Eastern perversions to the- I’m joking. This is a non-serious RP, in that I do not really care what shape it takes. I’m more eager to just write something, more than anything. Do what you want, be what you want. - The sick people are just people. They’re a little giddy, and very angry, but they’re not totally stupid. They can open doors, press buttons and cook a microwave dinner. They can also use weapons, such as pool cues, broken glasses and tools! - The survivors, about ¼ of the passengers and crew, are immune. Therefore, the sick people will try to kill them rather than transmute the infection.

Character Sheet

Post directly into the character tab! Name: Sex: Obligatory yes please. Age: Appearance: Occupation: Crew or Passenger: Crew are more likely to know their way around the ship! Improvised Weapon: Can be anything strong enough to kill or maim. For example, a chair leg? A sharpened tooth brush? A chair leg WITH a sharpened tooth brush strapped to it!? Good God the horror! Equipment of Note: Phones, keys, um… mirrors? They might be handy. But yeah, anything that may serve some kind of purpose. Character’s Starting Location: I haven’t got a map for the cruise liner, and I don’t want one. We’ll design it as we go. Just state your character’s location at the start of the RP. An example would be “his cabin, Deck 3A”

There's nowt disturbing about an angry bear roaming the lands in search of the Dragonborn. In fact, how do we know Skharn isn't secretly the Chosen One, foretold by the Bear Kings of old in the times before bipedalism? Haha but no all sillyness aside, I was trying to be original. A bear on a mission seemed more interesting to me, than playing the usual suspects. If nothing else, it would have provided a unique perspective of things! I fully understand the abhorrence though; this is a TES RP, it wouldn't do to have a homicidal bear roaming around in the background and getting into a shenanigans. Still, can't blame an old bear for trying ;)

yeah its a beary good CS

@nerminator

You win the internet today.

Dead Cruise

Alright, nice. I reckon we have enough to get the ooc underway. It'll be one of those RPs that people can just join as and when they please - a cruise ship is a big place, after all. OOC link: Click me if you find vacuum cleaners saucy.

The Elder Scrolls: A World Torn

I can't even XD Skharn XD

@PhoenixEye9

;)

Animal Kingdoms?

Hmm perhaps not an alternative reality but the result of a Nuclear war from the humans causing the radiation to turn the animals more human like. And Humans become enslaved to certain species perhaps?

@LordZell

Why we gotta involve nukes and mutations? We're on top cus of a whole lotta dicey happenings. If we weren't here, another species may have risen up to take charge; albeit much later than we did. A bit of lee-way and fantasy has to be added to the mix, sure. But come on, who doesn't dream about the Great Northern Wolf Pack taking on the Socialist Elephant Republic? Haha.

The Elder Scrolls: A World Torn

Worth a shot.

Name: Skharn Occupation: Cave Bear Race: Bear Class: Cave Bear - Cave Bears are large, tough and very aggressive creatures. Victims can contract bone break fever or rockjoint from cave bear attacks, which can be cured with a visit to a shrine or drinking a Potion of Cure Disease. True to their name, they can be found in and around caves or at random in mountainous terrain throughout Skyrim, and can be very dangerous if the an adventurer is inexperienced. Gender: Male Age: 15 Personality: Territorial and aggressive, but docile if left alone and a safe distance maintained. He also believes in the widespread distribution of cheese to everyone. General Appearance: Weapons: Claws, brutal strength and deadly fangs. Bio: Skharn was run from his subterranean home some years ago by the Dragonborn. Ever since, the animal has wandered aimlessly, looking to avenge his pride. His journeys of instinctual revenge have driven him all over Skyrim, where he has become somewhat of a myth. He hates humans, killing them at every opportunity, however his lust for revenge will never be satisfied until he finds the Dragonborn, and kills them. Recently, Skharn's aimless wandering has taken him to the Skyrim/Cyrodil borderlands. Other: Skharn commands some authority over woodland creatures, and can call other animals to his aid if in danger.
