I took over this RP in February of 2014 when the original creator stepped away for good. Any characters created prior to that were approved by that moderator and under his discretion, so they might not exactly fall in line with the current guidelines for characters. Being that the RP had been up and running, I allowed those characters to remain as they were for the longevity of the RP and happiness of the players. So, please do not argue with me about what a current character should or should not have - I might not have had a say in the matter when that character was created.
I know this site is very wordy and there is a lot to read but the History page and Pirate culture are more for leisure and aren't required before joining. The pages required to read before joining are: How to Enlist, The World, and Rules. Though valuable information remains on the many other pages, it is not required before joining. I do hope that you read through them in between posts to feel more comfortable in the RP.
With that being said, I know some people looking to join will feel as though they will not be able to intergrade their character easily into the story but that is not true. We are a friendly group of players who will work to make you feel welcome and comfortable in the room. Just because some characters have developed histories with one another does not mean there isn't room for more characters, relationships, alliances, or conflicts. All you have to do is jump into the scene.
When it comes to the overall plotline for this RP, I do have ideas for where I want it to go, using history as a backdrop for certain events. The progress of the world moves slower than the everyday lives of characters that we play daily. I am open to brainstorming and assisting in character creation to better suit your idea for the setting. I am very dedicated to this RP and the players that continue to show interest.
