The term Dirk is also apparently used as a generic term for daggers from the 171th and 18th century which I suppose is probably where most the confusion comes from.

From what I got from *cough* the dictionary *cough*, a dirk seems to be a 'short dagger of a kind formerly carried by Scottish highlanders'.

But either way it's a dagger, and can really be used by both bandits and naval officers, and probably has been.

@GodOfWar

The Highland Dirk is the only one I know of that has a short blade. The British Royal Navy, Soviet Union, and Japanese Imperial Navy all had Dirks with longer blades.

Actually a 'Dirk' is a type of long dagger carried by naval officers best suited for repeated thrusting and deep penetration...

Hmm..... I was only gone for a day correct? Excuse me while I assess the situation and catch up on everyone's shenanigans.

EDIT: I have a solution! Everyone is banned... wait, no that's dumb.

EDIT EDIT: In regards to multiple characters; If you feel able to keep up with two characters I will allow it, although please remember to make it clear which character is doing things in your post.

The Gentleman

Took a poo. Blah blah blah blah blah etc.

The Lady

Sprayed air freshener.

This is a good way to do it.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: In regards to the recent shenanigans; Did you guys really fill up two pages worth of OOC just debating arbitrary numbers and scemantics? Look at Captain Lockheart's credentials. She has several billion counts of attempted murder, which is an interesting story that you should definitely ask the Captain about, I think we can have a bit of creative license.

EDIT etc.....: As for @WilsonTurner I apologize for making you go over your CS several times without giving you much direction. I think it was the whole "I blew up Cuba once." thing that really threw me off about it. Your character is accepted, welcome aboard the Black Dirk.

EDIT EDIT etc...: To everyone else who's posted a CS so far you are accepted, velcome aboard the Black Dirk.

Note: How has no one gotten the joke about the Black Dirk yet? Maybe my humor is too vague?

@Kuroneko Sounds good to me, welcome aboard the Black Dirk.

@WilsonTurner He still seems really over powered and a bit out of our league to be honest. why would a master hacker with access to so much bother to serve aboard a lone pirate ship?

The Impetuous Space Pirate Captain Lydia Lockheart!

@Emma Everything seems up to snuff. Cynthia R. Farell is accepted.

@GodOfWar Styx Yorkishire is accepted, although I have to agree that the rocket launcher seems pretty useless compared to pretty much everything else. Maybe that's part of his charm?

@WilsonTurner Granted he's several hundred years old but he is a little over the top. Trim him up a bit please.

As for the tone of the RP, well keep in mind the shape of the ship and it's name the Black Dirk. That should be a pretty big clue as to what you should expect.

I think I fixed it up a bit, I can try a scale down more if you'd like. Its hard to make a character come across how you want without explaining their personality or history...

@Emma

The lack of any history or personality section is kind of an experiment on my part. Basically I've noticed over the years that players tend to make characters that naturally kind of synchronize into cohesive groups. Although, that's not really a bad thing I wanted this to be a bit more unpredictable and force players to learn each others characters as we go along. Think of your CS more like a resume, you don't really put your whole life history on it or how you act. All your employer needs to know is if you're qualified for the job and then you get the interview. In our case your employer is a Pirate Captain who doesn't care for the interview bit so long as you're qualified and willing to crew the ship.

@Kuroneko I like it, just one thing though. Let's make her 18 at the very least, even child hacker prodigies need some time to learn their craft. Other than that DataFox is good to go.

@Zetsuko Donovan is approved, welcome aboard the Black Dirk. You can go ahead and post your CS in the characters tab.

@DarkFeyMaxxine Nox is approved, welcome aboard the Black Dirk. You can go ahead and post your CS in the characters tab.

@vFearAredwas Loci is approved, welcome aboard the Black Dirk. You can go ahead and post your CS in the characters tab.

@EmmaI can appreciate the master theif vibe but she's only 25 and she's stolen practically every valuable item on the face of the Earth and some other planet as well? Not to mention the crimes she may or may not have committed? She may as well have just stolen the planet instead. I'm sorry but this character is much too mary sue for my taste. You'll have to tone her down before I can accept it.

EDIT: I'm surprised everyone decided to be human.

The Impetuous Space Pirate Captain Lydia Lockheart!

The ship could use a doctgineer right? Who doesn't mind having a Doctor-Engineer?

@Pyromania99

I'd appreciate if you'd stick to just one role.

This seems like quite a barrel O' fun.

Mind if I squeeze into this RP?

@GodOfWar

By all means join the fun!

Edit: I should also note that the 'Rank' section of a CS is for those who earned a rank while serving with a militant organization and doesn't have to do with your role aboard The Black Dirk.
