Name: Amarantha
Age: 113
Powers: Can communicate with animals and can control waves though it drains her. Water heals her and sometimes she can channel it to heal others though she then takes on their injury. If she tries to heal someone mortally wounded it means she could die.
Pet: Areaus

Story: An orphan she kind of stays to herself, many times watches man and wonders about their world. She has dragged shipwrecked and unconscious victims to shore. She is horribly shy around humans unless they are unconscious. She can only shift into human form on full moon nights, but could love break that spell?

Name: Draven
Age: 28
Powers: Great prowess in fights, great at snitching things.
Story: Has been on his own since he was 9, he knows how to survive. His fighting and thieving skills have kept him alive this long. Tough, snarly and set in his ways, but is there a good, loving heart underneath?

And your characters:

Name: Destiny
Age: 28
Powers: Very handy with a blade, fast at running and getting around on the ropes, and has a sharp eye.

Story: Was picked up from a pirate ship by Sassy. Now serves as her 2nd officer.

Age: 750
Powers: Controls water within a half mile radius. This leads to situations of large whirlpools, heavy mists, and uncanny rain storms. Can liquidify herself for a limited time. Her stamina is strong.

Story: On an unchartered island, her life was peaceful bliss until roving pirates came on land. Sassy came along and helped her get revenge on those pirates in exchange for becoming her adviser and navigator of her ship.

Weaknesses: Water. Not particularly strong either. Must have specific instructions.
Story: He grew up in the celestial dimension. Rarely summoned to another dimension, he spent his days in the magical niches of his life. Was summoned by Maleor and given the ability to use blue fire in all of it's forms.

Age: Unknown, looks like 27
Powers: Form and control storms, inhuman agility in fights, superb navigator, monstrous appearance in full moonlight.
Story: She is thought to be a mythical creature in human form. Her past is unknown but her name is feared by all, and she is known for not leaving survivors. She is not fond of using weapons in hand-to-hand combat but uses her inhuman agility to defeat combatants. She is captain of the Dark Storm, the fastest ship on the sea, and crewed by a those unquestionably loyal to her. They also know there is more to her than meets the eye....




Name: O’Dell
Age: 39
Powers: Tactician, proficient swordsmen, deadly gunman, knowledge of the military.
Story: 1st mate aboard the Dark Storm. Completely loyal to Captain Mealla (he calls her Scarlett), treating her as his daughter. He is ex-military and has contacts at all of the seaports, utilizing them to find prey or avoid adversaries.

Name: Jessie Rose (goes by Jess or Rose)

Age: 28

Powers: Extremely skilled fighter, especially with any blade. Heightened agility, quick on her feet.

Pet: Meeka, a young Aquos feline (a race of cats able to live under water). Jess found Meeka when she was a kit, washed up on shore and half starved. A mage was using a pregnant Aquos for his experiments, he wanted to derive their water inhabiting essence for his own. The mother and the siblings died, but Meeka survived. The mage was unhappy that Meeka was born with red eyes, so he threw her into the sewage. She was eventually dumped into the ocean, where she washed up on shore days later, almost dead. Jess nursed her back to health and then took revenge on the mage for his sadistic actions.



Story: Jess grew up on the waters. Her mother was the wife of an old fishing captain. When Jess's father died of scurvy after a nasty trip out to the sea, her mother, Darria, took over. When their ship was overrun by pirates, Jess was stowed in a chest. The pirates were convinced Darria's ship was using the fishing business as a front, and was actually transporting treasure for a rival ship the pirates were currently in a territory spat with. They believed the treasure was taken from their turf, and set to retrieve it by any means necessary. Upon spotting the chest, they were convinced it held the treasures that were stolen from them. Darria, who had no knowledge of combat, fought with such ferocity, she cut out the pirate captain's left eye. Eventually, she was restrained and the captain looked in the chest. Feeling vengeful, he threatened to throw Jessie into the sea. Darria offered to take her place, under one condition, that the captain raise Jessie as his own and teach her the ways of the sea. The captain, Jim Durn, agreed, but was so overcome by Darria's display of overwhelming love, he spared her life and offered them room and employment on his ship. Eventually, they were married, and Jessie was raised on that ship until she was sixteen. Durn even renamed the ship "Darria Rose", after his wife and new daughter. Before control of the ship could be given to Jess, a new shipmate accidently dropped a torch into a barrel of gun powder during a particularly violent storm. The ship was blown to bits, but Durn was badly injured. Both of his legs were gone, as he was standing on the deck, right above the explosion. Darria was blinded, and very nearly died from infection. Jess managed to take her parents to shore, where she used the coin she had saved up for years so they could receive treatment. After they were fit to go home, Jess bought them a small cottage by the wharf and took up several odd jobs, but hasn't found a lasting sea job for years. To cope with her depression, she has taken to drinking heavily, as the intoxication feels similar to a bucking ship. Currently unemployed, she traveled to the next town over hoping for better luck.

Pet: Water Dragon Coral
Story: Seriena is cursed like almost all mermaids to be immortal until she is loved by a man. Not just any man, but a human man. She searches and prays that she can find a man so she is not forever stuck in the sea as a mermaid, never recieving death.

Name: Sageinri Tzalcoatl

Age: A few hundred years, maybe. (He claims to have lost count.)

Powers: An extremely wide array of non-combative magics, mostly to help with more menial chores like cleaning, cooking or changing clothes, because heaven forbid he take the time to do it himself. The use of various gems amplify a lot of his abilities, and only using them as a focus could he manage anything worth protecting himself with - mainly various illusions and blinding lights (giving him ample time to flee before his opponent could see through them). Anything more combat-worthy he hasn't had the time to practice with, and therefore are just as likely to backfire on him if he ever tries to use them.

Pet: Pictured above - she's a magically altered parrot Sage [affectionately] calls 'Colors', though she insists her name is Desirei. Along with Mirage, who seems to be just as disappointed in Sage's choice in names, yet has no ability to speak up about it.

Story: He began, as many do, in a simple home with simple parents in a simple town on some simple island. This was ages ago, though. He quickly grew dissatisfied and, instead, fled the island on a hand-made raft. Being that he was notoriously horrible at anything resembling work, it predictably sank. Still, it made it far enough out to sea that he was rescued by a grand Galleon trade ship. Fascinated by the Captain's ability to travel the world despite such an easy-going lifestyle (the ship was practically a mansion with sails), he decided to learn to trade, taking on an apprenticeship with the Captain. A mere five years and the man was already handing over his ship and routes. Another three and he had a fleet under his command.

By the time he'd amassed his own trade empire, he grew bored and dissatisfied again and, using the fortune he'd collected himself, turned to magic instead. He used every resource and favor at his disposal to get his hands on anything he could - literature, artifacts, the works. And then promptly bought himself a private island and completely secluded himself on it. When a good sixty years passed with no word, he was presumed dead, his Empire left a legacy.

A good century or two later, having prolonged his life and youth with the very magic he so selfishly squandered away from the world and hoarded to himself, he finally found himself growing bored as he mastered everything his current resources allowed. He then decided to head out into the world once more to partake in the wonders the new generation has to offer.

Mystical Seas Game Play

Hey all! Waiting for hummy to join us ^_^

---------- Post added 09-23-2012 at 04:40 PM ----------

still waiting for hummy: ^_^

sorry i wasn't answering pings.

that is the first time I pinged you in a long while ^_^ just was wondering when you wanted to work on your character for the island village?

all pings, i was working on making my mousie work.
can i be some of the help?
nothing important just to get the hang of it, maybe?

hmmm... how about a village girl that helps keep the monastery clean? My character on the island is a slow moving monk that is simple-minded. the crypt below the monastery is where a piece of a treasure is hidden.

that sounds good, rosie♥.
i'll look for a picture and post after i have some breakfas.

Awesomeness! Is your mouse working again or does it need a doc still? I'm heading to bed soon. Enjoy your breakfast!

Silver, you might want to put stars between your paragraphs to show you switched places. It was weird to go from underwater to on land with no connecting thoughts.

Silver Storm: were you planning on Draven stowing away on the Dark Storm? Just wondering.

Sure if that is cool with you.

No, I was just reading your post and that's kinda what I got from it. Better hurry - my ship's leaving the harbor :P

Silver - Your mermaid should be able to tell that it wasn't a human floating before her. I mean a head and shoulders that are disembodied isn't possible for a human who is still alive ;)

But what about fear? She could have panicked and since her fear is of being seen by humans, that would be the first thing she'd think of, wouldn't it?

Or maybe not. Brain's running low on sugar :P I should go find some or go to bed...

---------- Post added 09-26-2012 at 11:30 PM ----------

To get Silver's attention, you'll probably need to ping her

If you only had a face in front of you and no body... what is the first thing that would cross your mind? Now at to that that this thing's arm turns into water and then talks to you... it just seems strange to consider her a human. But I guess...

Tancileena: - Would your character like to be on the island that the monk is on? He just entered the village and could go head for a nice stroll along the coast. My pirate ship is headed that way too ;)

maidenroseheart: That actually sounds perfect. I was at a loss as to how I was going to fit into the storyline since everyone is out at sea and I'm sitting on a beach xD (I believe I came in right after Silver's ship weighed anchor lol) you're a life saver!! haha

Also (this isn't directed at anyone in particular, but if one of you could answer it, it would be greatly appreciated) But, what are the limits as far as cursing/drinking/fighting and so on? I understand they're pirates, so there will be all three, but I want to know if we're following Mene's guidelines to that or if it will be slightly more mature. I'm fine with either, I just want to know the rules beforehand so I don't make an oopsie later on. :) In the event it will be more mature, I can handle it. My grandfather was a sailor and my father is ex-military and was a truck driver, so it takes quite a bit to shock me

Well, we should probably avoid the cursing. I have no problem with drinking. Since I have a bloody pirate captain, the fighting might be intense on my part ^_^' If it is too intense for anyone, just say so and I'll turn my tune down. Sounds like you have some background on this. As far as Mene rules go, we should try to follow them. I know that any rape scenes or even suggestion of it past or present is forbidden. At least that is my understanding. What do you all think?

I agree wholeheartedly about the rape bit. For me, I don't think it should be used in stories, since so many people are survivors of it in real life.

I'm cool with drinking and fighting, neither offend me. So you can get as intense as you want, I probably will as well. :P

And I used to RP waaayy back when, (like... 05-08?) back on Torak. The layout was almost identical to this site, as well as most of the rules, so it's a lot like riding a bike for me. ^.^

As for the cursing, the furthest I would go isn't even actual cursing but like... cousin? "curse" words. Such as "bloody" "bollocks" etc. Nothing too offensive. Although, if that's too much I have no problem with cutting it out completely. :) Back on my old site we could say the actual words, but they had to be starred and the title had to be a warning so people could skip it. I figure times have changed though, and since younger people will be coming onto the site, us older folks should be setting a good example by not cursing. :P

I completely agree with the cursing ang rape bit as well, plus blood and gore really doesn't bother me. So go for it!

Sliver Storm: Why aren't the rest of the characters up on this thread? Only a few of the characters are up, and since I use the pictures as references alot, its not fun having to go back in my subscriptions everytime to find the pictures on the request thread. Just wondering if that will be changed or not.

I had no idea there was a request thread and I sent my character bio to Silver. Oops! Seer Of the Future: can you point me in the direction of the request thread so I can post my bio, please? :)

---------- Post added 10-02-2012 at 02:38 PM ----------

Ah nevermind. I found it. :)

They are supposed to be in this thread. Silver Storm: - can you move them to the first post of this thread please ^_^

I like how you said Cousin of curse words Tancileena. I have no problem with those either. Just as long as the actual words are avoided.

Okie dokie, that works for me. I say all that anyways hahah

@Supersition; can you please post so my character can interact with people?

Sorry Seer of the Future. I will post this afternoon. I don't have time at the moment.

---------- Post added 10-03-2012 at 02:48 PM ----------

Seer Of the Future: I posted. Let me know if it doesn't work. Just to let you know, Scarlett really isn't going to hurt Lúthien and is going to let her join her crew.
