I'm on vacation but I will still be keeping up with this I just got done with a two-day car ride to the place we are staying at so, that's with the silence from me, I'll try my best to be on here whenever I can but I will probely look at it in the early morning and late night.


That's fine.

I'm happy to report that I'm about a few sentences away from completing the IC. Looks like, as I promised (At least in my time zone), looks like you'll all be pirates before the day is done. I do have to take care of some personal business on my end beforehand, but even so, I should have it complete afterwards.

My next post to this, double-post if need be, will be an alert to all of you that the IC is up.

Again though, Prepare yourself, cause it's a big one, with alot to read.
No worries, take your time its your story anyways.

also added two more utilities to victor that i forgot to add, marked with a +.

@The Jest


Thank you. And not bad additions. ^_^

OH, I forgot, I should probably give you all a warning: This IC post will be LONG, and in the case of the Present, a lot of important reading to be had. So I suggest you all prepare yourselves.
@The Jest @Windstormugly

Would it okay if I added another skill to Asugan? I think it'd make sense if he was well educated and maybe trained in diplomacy since he is the son of a chief.


We have no objection. ^_^

I do have to agree with Windpipe in asking for some patience. I understand this is the free section and how long you have waited, but so long as everyone continues their interest, IT'll be a little while before I can see it as "dying".

Now it'd be arrogant of me to say that at the moment, but I'd like to report to everyone that I AM almost done with the IC post. Going by the pace, if I don't have it done tonight, you can all bet your asses it'll be ready tomorrow. Either way, you guys will be Pirates before this weekend is over, and you can fucking quote me on that. XD
@The Jest It's possible to communicate without a language, someone could write stuff on a piece of paper or mime out a action, Vivian can still talk aswell, also if one person knows sign language its possible for that person to act as a interpreter.


Good enough for us. Me and Omni have no further objections. You're in mate. ^_^
@Petulant and myself have agreed that we don't mind this CS.

We both have a question for you though, @Warborn123, If your character is Deaf, how will the rest of the cast communicate with her? It's highly likely that most people in the cast don't know Sign Language after all.
Name: Vivian Velvet

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Desire: Vivian desires to have revenge against the angels, She wants them all to suffer for what they did to her.

Ability: Her ability comes in the form of music, She is a amazing instrumentalist and can play any instrument with perfection, She can also use the power of music to summon Fireballs, Ice spikes and Electricity, further more she can use the power of music to control people, when she just learns her power she'll be able to do small things like shoot small icicles and convince people to hit themselves in the face, but at her maximum strengh she can easily raze a city or cause a riot.

She is also immune to all magic that relies on sound, as she is deaf.

Weapon: A Steel Violin

Personality: Vivian is very pessimistic and cynical, She tends to be very pragmatic and down to earth. if this hasn't convinced you yet she is a massive debbie downer.
Vivian absolutely hates all angels, due to the fact that they have ruined her life, She is very loose and hates rules of all kinds, believing that rules only exist to oppress mankind from reaching it's true potential, she is very unemphatic and is willing to kill innocents in order to get her revenge.

If this was dnd she'd be Chaotic Neutral.

Backstory: Vivian used to be the exact opposite of what her personality says, she was stupidly optimistic, She was born to a relatively poor family who also shared her optimism.

she absolutely hated music and wanted to be a archaeologist.

life was perfect for her until one day, while her parents were driving her to school, a drunken driver smashed into her car and killed her parents, Vivian got lucky though as the car crash only destroyed her hearing, causing her to be permanently deaf, The drunken driver got away with it but Vivian didn't care at all, she was so stupidly optimistic it barely affected her, this is because of the angels control over her personality, causing her not to grieve at all and simply continue on with life as if it never happened.

Vivian decided all was fine and walked to school instead to go on the field trip, then upon getting her desires back, all the grief from her parents came back and it destroyed her, She quickly found out that she hates archaeology with a passion and loves music, especially the violin, but however because she is deaf she can never hear her own music.

After Vivian found out the angels had indirectly killed her parents and ruined the joy of music, she vowed to kill every last one of them.


Personally, I REALLY like the concept of this character, at least in regards to its musical powers and what have you. (I possess a character who also possesses that same kind of magical violin.)

But @Windstormugly seems to have...problems with the CS as a whole. My other partner @Petulant hasn't commented yet.

The one problem I can personally agree with would be his problem with the Backstory. I mentioned this before, but the Angels are REAL picky assholes when it comes to their control. The free will possessed by mankind in this world is naught but an illusion to hide the control, and anything that would inhibit or disconnect them from that control over humanity, even temporarily, has to be ultimately eliminated, and has been eliminated.

This, unfortunately, includes Alcohol, a substance that was practically designed to inhibit one's sense of judgement and moral control. They'd erase beer and wine and liquor and all other Alcoholic drinks in a heartbeat, because of that. As such, Drunk Drivers do not exist in this world.

Accidents do though, for one reason or another. Even the smallest head turn can cause cataclysm in a vehicle after all.

While I don't mind her power over the elements, (Again, have the same kind of character myself,) I'd recommend the Pied Piper ability be somehow toned down, maybe by narrowing the width of her AoE or limiting the criteria of who she controls with her music.

There was also a problem he had with her Personality and her Desire, her Personality he claims as edgy as hell, and her Desire he claims as, simply put, cliche. Me? I don't really mind that myself.

That said, it does seem me and Windpipe are at odds, so I'll need to talk with Petulant in order for a solid verdict. Until then, I suggest you take what was said to heart. ^_^
Also, For future reference: As I've mentioned before, all of your characters are going to be given a nickname by the Captain. After looking through them, I've made a list of nicknames.

Tserv Dihaak= Serve (A joke on his name.)

Traveler-59= Snake (Due to his "original form")

Telasie Banther= Pain (REALLY tempted to nickname her Bitch though)

Scrap= Scrap

William Snow= Knight

Asugan Bugudan = Hook (Cause his head looks like a hook)

Victor-103= Jar (Cause he's a brain in a jar)

Varrus= Doc

Conrad Pak= Con

Rama Gildar= Rom (Rather than "Ram".)

Rannapra Eni'douis= Fae (No real reason for this one, just that a Fae, or a really pissed off Fairy comes to mind for some reason.)

Alexandra Hall= Rogue

Gold= Gold, or Chef

Vescalla Vonderbutch= Scots (Cause she's scottish.)

Reina= Rain
Very well...

I'd like for everyone who has made a CS to place it on the CHAR tab if you haven't already. I'll be starting the In-Character soon. It will still take some time though.
@Windstormugly I'm fine with that


Then she's in.

I personally don't have a problem with her Profile. And I like how you added in a Mafia. Please place her CS onto the Char tab, and I'll add her to the list. ^_^
When is the ic coming up?

Don't mean to sound pushy.


It should be coming up soon. I'm confident I'll be able to get this thing up by the end of the week at most. ^_^
