Title: New roleplay
Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 24, 2016, 10:57:21 PM
I want to start a new roleplay, open to anyone who's interested. The premise is this: a small group of people awake aboard a pirate ship and must use their heads to escape slavery A character sheet is not necessary as the story will involve the slaves learning each other's backstories.

Ooh, are there positions available for pirate characters?

Mm.

Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 25, 2016, 12:31:12 AM
Sure someone can be a pirate.

Post by: Groddil on May 25, 2016, 01:30:55 AM
Can I? If so, do you want a character sheet?
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 25, 2016, 01:40:59 AM
sure. The characters will be discovering each others backstory throughout though, so no nee for a character sheet.

Post by: Groddil on May 25, 2016, 01:53:15 AM
Well, in that case...

For Thomas Barkshield's eyes only :p
Can I be the pirate captain, or are you going to play that part? >:3

Sure you can be the captain, so long as you don't mind possibly being thrown overboard.

Tommy, you shoulda put that in a spoiler :P

It doesn't matter because the captain is an obvious position. Theres no reason that would be hidden to the other characters.

True, forget I said anything. :P

How many more people do you guys think should join before we start?
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: The Skarzs on May 25, 2016, 03:00:10 AM
Is this a full-fledged pirate ship, or just a small one like Reynard Chopsnout had that was turned into the Sayna?
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 25, 2016, 04:18:13 AM
It's a fairly large ship, but is running on a skeleton crew. As for some other thoughts, my idea was that the people in the roleplay could be the new slaveson the ship and anyone joining halfway could be another new arrival. Also, what should the name of the ship be? I might even draw a picture f the ship tommorow to show you. Also, this is taking place after the events of Re
dwall but before Mattimeo.

Okay.

Can I put forward some ship name ideas?
Title: Re: New roleplay

Quite a few more. People could also control multiple characters if need me, but the more the merrier I guess.

That's a good idea, actually.

Hmm, I guess I could list some ideas. If that fails, try mashing up existing ship names.

I thought not, but maybe one of Clunys relatives perhaps?

If you click that confused emoji, you'll get a page with existing ship names. If this one ^ fails, and so do Skarz's, you could always use them as a starting point.

This is the size of ship I was thinking. Thoughts? Also what should the roleplay be called?

Rawrudder
Bonemast
Wind o' th' West

Any word on those names I posted, Thomas? :P
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 26, 2016, 04:39:47 AM
I made a note in colour saying I like the saltsprayer one. Any thoughts on names for the RP? Also, we could start now and other people could join later like I described earlier.
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: W0NWILL on May 26, 2016, 04:41:31 AM
Best RP
RP the Musical
RP on Ice
RP 2: Electric Boogaloo

If you mean good names that aren't part of a horrible joke, no I don't have any.

EDIT: Okay, only thing that comes to mind after some thought is "Don't Look them in the Eye", 'cause we need more Les Mis references.
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 26, 2016, 04:50:05 AM
If its okay with everyone else I'll start the RP tomorrow just so we can get things moving. (Im impatient, can you tell? ;) )

A name for the RP, mm? Perhaps it could be simple, like. . . "Oarslaves".
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 26, 2016, 05:01:02 AM
Oh, those other names are good too! Indecision begins to set in. Thomas curls up in a ball in the corner and rocks back and forth, telling himself that somehow he'll be able to decide. I like the name for the RP, but the ship I had in mind would have slaves more for the galley, and swabbing the deck and such. More like unpaid, unlikeable, unwashed crewmembers.

Oh, okay.

What restrictions do you have for species?
Title: Re: New roleplay
Post by: Thomas Barkshield on May 26, 2016, 05:06:31 AM
Just the usual redwall assortment, so no coyotes, cougars, horses, etc.

Is it just a jump in and go thing, then? 'Cause if so, I'll be joining in.

I know that I am kind of doing this backwards but you did say that anyone could just jump in. But I still want to say something here just to say that I am joining/have already posted.  ;) :P
