Stacy has to have some friends. I wouldn't say that anyone on Garret's crew has quite achieved friendship with her just yet and she trusted Syrin more than she has trusted anyone else in a long time. And Stacy and Syrin kinda saved each others' lives. 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Who needs friendship! I'm sure Stacy can save someone's life on Garrets crew or someone on Garret's crew can save her and then *poof* friendship!   But Sora.....sora is going to have to plan and plead that the right things happen to convince Syrin to stay on the ship..... Well he won't actually plead but he will plan.   He doesn't need Stacy to just up and snatch his navigator away! Do you realize how much a dent that would put in his plan?!  It will likely be a biggish one.... If he's lucky he can get to the next island by relying utterly and completely on his skill luck .  *Le sigh*  I guess Sora just going to have to befriend Syrin to such a level that not even Stacy can get him to leave................................hm................. Sounds like another impossible challenge..............................................


Challenge Accepted!!!!  *Yes I just made a challenge to have Sora be more of a friend than Stacy even though really no need for that.......shhh This is war*

Norman can navigate! He'd love the alliteration! Norman Newman the Ninja Navigator! It almost feels like it was meant to be.....


As for Syrin going to Stacy. Don't let Athena trick you. It's not cause friends(ok maybe partially). It's because Athena ships them >w>

Pfffffff It might have been meant to be, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut Sora would really like to have the ship not crash into rocks and the like for the time being.  So I think Norman should stick to making sure the crew doesn't starve to death...and even more importantly make sure Sora doesn't try to cook.


Oh I know >.>  I know alllllllllllllllll about that <.<

@Sinister Clown First of all, my apologies for not being around to give you a rundown of the Red Ribbon Pirates. I think what Dago shared is quite appropriate though. As for deciding which crew to join, I feel inclined to point a few things out. Fate does not always carry your character to the crew that is the best fit for them. In fact, running into the crew that fits your character best almost seems to be too good to be true. Your character isn't going to get to meet all three and choose based on that so I honestly do not think that looking at where your character fits best is a good way to approach the situation. You're more than welcome to, but it doesn't feel right to me. Whichever island your character happens to be on determines what crew they run into. Take Stacy for example... she was originally in Kenji's crew (which doesn't exist anymore). Yet she HATED Kenji with a passion. The way the story was written, she didn't have a choice. It was get captured by marines, or join Kenji's crew. Would she have gotten along with him? Not at all. It would have been fun to write, though. 


I also feel it is important to note that crews will cross paths as the story progresses so it is quite possible that as your character meets another crew, they could jump ship. Stacy's probably going to try and convince Syrin to jump ship when/if she ever encounters him again. It is a viable option. 


Also, I'm just tagging a few people for Red Ribbon stuff. @Pequeno Burraidh and @vergil are you two still around and intending on continuing to partake in the rp? I haven't seen either of you in what feels like a very long while. 

Oh it is fine, as I said I figured that you were either busy or timezone differences were in effect, it turned out it was 2am for you at the time so I completely understand your absence I was just in a bit of a rush to get things done for the OC as well as the crew information. 


As for what you say about fate and how he may not end up in a crew which suits him best; I think you were taking what I was saying a little out of context because in IC I never expected my character to already know of the three crews and basically decided to choose the one he felt most fit, because there was no sense in that and I didn't even intend on him knowing who any of the Rp's three crews were. However, like I said ages ago I didn't want to have my character joining a crew where he is going to be disfunctional; I understand that character progression can change things oftentimes and people can change their opinion, sorta like Zoro & Luffy however considering that he'll be joining whatever Crew IC. I felt it was a question best discussed OOC about which character crew he would end up joining - simply because that would also dictate which island he ends up IC. 


Of course he could always end up being forced to join? But that heavily depends on circumstances. But I still think making sure I know what crews are about and trying to make sure my own character could fit into that group isn't exactly a bad thing nor would it be really 'too good to be true' mostly because of choice. Even if a situation calls where he has to join a crew against his own will, that doesn't exactly make them friends or much of allies and in the end it could make the whole ordeal of my character getting comfortable in that situation a lot more difficult. You can't exactly change someones outlook, and if he can't look up to the one he is meant to call 'Captain' trying to keep him there for the purpose of the story is going to be hard..But that also doesn't say he's going to fit into Red Waves perfectly, I already said there are some rough edges here and there because all in all Seiryu can be a bit of a Ahole at times but I could see him functioning well in the Red Waves crew..


To be honest though when I've been thinking about it last night I sorta convinced myself that I dun wanna see the Shattercrest Crew go inactive >.< Buut considering what you said, what crew would you put Seiryu in then? 


(Also when you say 'jump ship'? Do you mean they are going to fight each other on the sea or do you mean change crews?)

Having people in crews where they don't function properly creates an interesting story. Conflict within a crew itself makes for a very interesting narrative, if I do say so myself. Stacy calls Garret captain not out of knowledge of who he is - she barely knows him. She calls him Captain because he saved her life and she owes him that respect for the time being. Stacy wouldn't have functioned with Kenji at all. She would've threatened to kill him on multiple occasions especially if he kept doing stupid things like she thought he already was. But I put here there. I might be unique though, because I look at roleplaying as creating a narrative with a lot of writers contributing. I'm not quite sure if that's a common view or not, in all honesty. 


I know I personally already cannot keep up with the Red Wave Pirates because there are so many members. Peaceswore is doing a wonderful job with managing such a large group of extremely active people, but I personally don't want to see a crew grow so big that it cannot be managed anymore. I think that is part of my concern and its flooding what I'm saying without my really intending to. This roleplay is my child in many respects and I'm already frustrated that I can't keep up with all of it. That being said, I always have stood by the fact that I won't force a player into any particular crew and I still am doing my best not to. If you truly wish to join the Red Wave Pirates, I will not prevent it. 


As for when I mentioned jumping ship, the crews won't necessarily be fighting each other. Certain members very well might but that depends on a lot of circumstances. It is a very viable option to switch crews along the way, though. That is more what I was referring to.

Well in that aspect I can see Seiryu do the same thing, and I agree it does make things a lot more interesting in terms of narrative but I think it's also important to understand with varying personalities of characters, it's only natural that they are going to react differently and in some cases more extremely. Really I think if somehow there was a reason Seiryu was forced to keep with the crew for a long period of time than over that time he will silently begin to care about the people in the crew more. It's just keeping him there without having him lash out on one of his own crew mates that might be hard - but if you guys encourage that sort of stuff than I guess my personal worries aren't warranted for this Rp so it's fine by me~


And well, personally like I said in the last post I was going to put Seiryu in Shattercrest - Red waves does to seem very active and rather large atm already and The Red Ribbon pirates seem to have a healthy amount of numbers as well; I would mind trying to help make Shattercrest that way as well. I mean one of the main reasons I wasn't going to join is because I wanted to make a rivalry between Seiryu & Jasper, but I guess I can still do that anyway. 


So would Shattercrest be okay? And also thankyou I was just trying to clarify what you mean when you said jumping ship since well it generally either means switching 'teams' or jumping on an enemy ship to attack or something xD   I think moments were crews encounter each other are going to be some of the most interesting.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Thank you for that I love it when my ego is stroked~~~~

I think the shattercrest would be a great group for your character to join~


Though just for everyone to be aware I honestly don't mind getting more members it isn't a problem for me to have a big crew as I can adapt and change the arc to fit~  Just putting that out there~ 


EITHER WAY!  I'm certain you are going to have fun with the Shattercrest~~~~  Many things are happening that are getting me excited~

 

[AllHailDago]

Nope. Nothe allowed to join Shattercest! Don't want him, nope! *snickers* Yeah it's fine. Though it's gonna be a little hard for me to find a non recon manner to fit new characters into his crew now that so many have seemingly dropped. I mean, I can kill off the non actives probably pretty easy. But newbies would either need to be shipwrecked in surrounding waters, or be trapped on the island itself. Hmmmmm

Don't worry I'm already working on that in my bio :3 By the way he is going to be shipwrecked in surrounding waters~ At least from the direction I am trying to take with the bio thus far.

 

[Refaulted]

So much reading. Really helps pass the time at work on a dead day. 


@Sinister Clown I feel like I've been in an RP with you once or twice before. I could be wrong. Anyhow, hello. I'm a resident lurker around here. Can't wait to RP with you in the future, hopefully.

Why hellooooo~ And it is very likely we have, I've been in a few RP's in the past although I'm better known in some rp's than others. The main RP which people know me from is Hell City, which has sorta died out as of recent ~.~ Anywho thankyou and I'm sure we will end up rp'ing together one time or another.

 

[Sinny The Fool]

OKKKAAAAYYYYY so I wrote the rest of his bio which ended up a bit longer than I thought, I also tagged you in the CS @AllHailDago as it is pretty much completely finished. The only thing left to really fill in would be what his crew position is actually going to be as well as what bounty he is going to have as well.


Edit: Awww and everyone is busy when I finished xD  


@DaughterofAthena & @Peaceswore (I remember reading somewhere that for WIP CS's that I gotta tag you all here once I'm done??)

Ya that way we know you are done.  It will take a bit for us to go over it, but we (or at least I) should get to it...........................soonish.

 

[Sinny The Fool]

Yeah it was mentioned that it could take up to a week but I understand that things happen and that sort of stuff can be delayed, I just felt like making sure it was known that I did finish my CS xD


I didn't really expect much of a response for a while seeming that by the time I finished Athena and Dago went offline so I don't mind waiting a bit~ I have the day off though so I was sorta just hanging around this thread looking at CS's and stuff to waste some time and I came across that thing stating to mention the GM's in OOC. (Dago already wanted me to tag him in the CS anyway when I finished because we were discussing bounty) But I decided to tag you guys here as well~ Make double sure lol.


I hope it's not too tedious to read, buuuuuuuuut forgive me as making protagonist characters are not my forte. Actually as far as my protag OC's go Seiryu is probably one of the best I've done xD  Be sure to let me know your thoughts after you've finished reading it.

The devil fruit thing was something we were going to discuss at length and would reward long time members for their loyalty and perseverance iirc. Beyond that we hadn't planned details because its not a real current matter of importance.


As for Garret and the Shattercrest Pirates. Well unfortunately I think many of the crew members may have dropped the rp. Which saddens me.


Garret Z. Allistair is the captain. He uses the glass logia, a DF I made (as all characters with fruits run by me do). He is a pretty happy go lucky guy. Creative and intuitive. Rather charismatic and good with people most of the time. Though he doesn't have much in the way of "book smarts" as he was raised on a pirate ship by his father the captain, and mother (an unschooled ex slave). So all he learned was the general knowledge of each position on the ship. Plus what the crewmates could teach him. He's not that tough, physically or emotionally. But his fruit and creativity makes him dangerous anyhow. He desires nothing to be Pirate King/Queen like the other two captains. No, he believes his father will be King. He simply wants to sail the seas and learn/explore with a trusted crew of friends. Garret is his name, any kind of adventure is his game. His ship is the Crystal Lotus  (or at least I think that's hat I named it). A medium sized vessel he got as his departing gift from his parents, along with his fruit. It's been enhanced repeatedly over the year he sailed alone. Many parts infused with or replaced by glass. Which should make it clear why he survived so long alone.


Hopefully I don't itches this descriptions too badly.


With him are (hopefully still) his navigator Ferra McKlinnen. An ex Marine Captain who killed her way out when she discovered the crew she was working for did slave work as well iirc). She's kinda abrasive and pessimistic seeming. But a quality strategist and strong fighter. Current holder of highest pc bounty at 40 million beli. @Pequeno Burraidh


Stacy Beauregard. His trusty shipwright, who as far as he's seen is a pretty alright lady. If a bit of a busybody. She can't stand to be not working. And takes real unkindly to those who undo her work. @DaughterofAthena


His cook, Kiyoko Rinne. A rather chill chef he met when he helped her protect a young girl who was trying to reach the Marines to escape from a rather cruel pirate captain that had impressed her into labor. @UdonIrvine47


Laura Ray Young, his swordswoman. Haven't seen much of her yet. Or maybe too tired to remember. @MidnightStar


Raine Braddock, the snake neck tribe quartermaster who desires nothing more than to be first mate. He seems to have taken a strong liking to Garret and wants to make him pirate king, as well as be his right hand. he doesn't seem to believe that Garret has no ambitions in that manner. He's rather submissive in his mannerisms. @Sullivanity


Last current actual member I believe. Wil D. Heart, cabin boy. Garret also knows little of him as his main interaction was seeing him jump into the street from a roof.... barefoot. Boom, crew offer. He's kinda scruffy and dirty, but Garret has a good feeling about him. @ChimpMan


Prospective members time. 


Raikou Kaminari and Shayden C. Wolfenhouzer are two members who were traveling on a different ship to the island our crew is bound for. But they were shipwrecked and are the only remaining survivors. Our crew is currently recovering them . They may join if they are still around and want to. @Raikou Kaminari @Silver Lightning Blade


Finally we have Yukihime Azalea White. A prospective member we may run into, if the player still wants to, on the island itself. Further details on the reason she's here are need to know only, hehe. She's hopefully destined to be the crew doctor. Also has my vote for prettiest pc. @Azure Sky

DO YOU LIVE!?!?   ARE YOU A GHOST!?!   I'M GOING TO ASSUME YOU ARE ALIVE!!!   *cough*  Excuse me u-u  Hello back to you.

 

[AtlannianSpy]

Yeah I umm, was keeping my head down for a bit. I was running an RP and got burnt out on it so rather than end it properly I pretty much fled the site, not a mature way to handle that issue but I guess it's resolved now. What's the haps?

I understand the feel u-u    As for whats been a happening to the crew.   They were fired at no damage done.  Seth fired Keya out of a cannon onto the beach.  Cait has returned with a boy (Teri, but goes by the code name toad).  Most had a fun session of traumatizing the kid u-u  Now they are about to dock (in my next post they will officially dock).  Seth has left the boat to retrieve Keya.  I think you should reread my last post and the post after that to get a better grip of whats been a going on.

 

[AtlannianSpy]

well that sounds pretty manageable all things considered, I'll take a look.

 

[Peaceswore]

Yay~ Glad you are still planning to be apart of this ^^   I plan to post later today....like a lot later midnight, one in the morning.  Within a 24 hour period of this current post so I would suggest you try and get a post out before then~


THAT GOES FOR THE REST OF YA AS WELL! I WILL LIKELY GET A POST OUT WITHIN 24 HOURS BUT NO SOONER THAN 12 HOURS SO PLENTY OF HOURS FOR YA TO GET A POSTING!!!
