~Setting~

Time: Early evening, 22nd of June
Place: Harbor of Port Royal
Weather: Calm, partly-cloudy and hot

~The ship~

The Red Tempest is an elegant and exotic ship from the east known as a Junk. She differs slightly from a normal Junk, the key notes being a slimmer hull, higher deck and a custom-shaped dagger-board for higher maneuverability. She's three-masted and around 100 feet in length.

Her hull is almost solid Teak with bamboo supports and interior minors, most of which is painted a deep red and detailed with a rich gold. She's been outfitted for luxury recently, the silks and velvet that once only adorned the Captain's cabin now decorate four small cabins clustered into the stern. Other touches of grace, such as clean, whole sails and shined brass give the entire ship a "civilized" look.

~The Crew~

The Tempest is an efficient ship, calling for no more than twenty crew members including the Captain and his officers. The men and women working the ship are as such:

Note: these are mostly just suggestions, not every role has to be filled and if you think of something not on the list that you would like to portray, let me know.

Captain: (This is the man that has say in nearly every on-going in his ship as well as trips to shore. Unless he is out-voted, that is.) Played by KageShio
Quartermaster: ( First mate, oversees many of the day-to-day tasks as well as distribution of food and loot.) Played by Arc Angel
Boatswain: (Second mate, oversees new crew members and teaches them the rules of the ship.) Played by Drakina
Gunner: (pretty self-descriptive, this crew mate oversees the setting, loading, aiming and firing of the cannons and guns.) Played by Staria
Artisans: (Carpenters, surgeons, cooks, barrel- and rope-makers as well as musicians all have places on a respectable ship.) Cook played by PapillonCameo, Surgeon played by Arc Angel
Cabin boy: (an errand-runner for the Captain, Quartermaster and sometimes the Boatswain.This is the lowest position on-board.) Played by KageShio
Deck-hands: (The rest of the crew. These men and women work the rigging, clean, and tend to the ship's more menial tasks.)
