What's better than being a Pirate? Being paid to be a Pirate and here on the Red Tempest, we've figured out how. Unfortunately, it isn't the life for everyone, You'll have to go through what the Captain calls a "screening". Just fill out this, if you can write, that is.

A bit about you: (Basic background, personality and the like, fill in as much or little as you like, but give us a little to go off of please.)
Why do you want to sail on the Red Tempest?

What's that you say? Oh, you want don't want to be part of the crew? Then you must be a Voyager. You'll want to see the first mate over there and tell them your story.
(Keep in mind that Voyagers are usually from the high end of society, mainly because only they can afford it.)

Current Crew:

Username: KageShio
Name: Hei-iro Ti'da Kiyomizuchi, better known as Heiro or just Captain.
Rank: Captain
Age: Hard to say, He looks to be in his mid- to late-twenties though he's really somewhere around 1,800
Gender: Male
Race: Vampire, Elder
Physical description: With features that are a blend of slavic and asian qualities that give him an almost feminine appearance, he tends to stand out in a crowd. He is tall and lithe with well-toned muscles and deathly pale skin, clear-cut facial features and almond-shaped eyes the color of the deep sea. His hair is raven-black, sleek and falls to his mid-back, generally held back with a strip of cloth. His most peculiar physical features are his scars. He bares quite a few, but the notable ones viewable by the public are a line from his left brow to his right cheek-across the bridge of his nose- and a circular mass of scars on the back and palm of each hand.

His clothing is also quite the sight, or so he is told. He wears a combination of Asian and European articles in a graceful way, rich silks, velvet and linen for dress, rough silk and cotton for most other things. He always wears a blood-red silk sash about his waist, and never caries a gun.

A bit about you: Heiro is a well-traveled man with a long past full of all the things that make both a great romance and a horror movie, but he rarely speaks of it, letting only his eyes tell his true age and jaded mind. He chooses to live in the moment as best he can instead, leading the crew of the Tempest to riches, adventure and a heck of a new job. Playing off the intrigues and fears of mortals, he hopes to bring in a huge profit for himself and his crew and perhaps open the door to a new kind of social entertainment without giving up their vagabond lifestyle.

He treats his crew with benevolence and a sort of kinship, but his temper is one to be feared and respected. If any shipmate breaks the code they will find themselves at the mercy of an unusually creative and not-so merciful man. As a pirate, he is less superstitious than most, welcoming women and a mystic aboard his ship. Also, though practically unknown to the western world, he was a feared and celebrated pirate in the east, known as Hei Bao Feng, the dark Tempest.

Name: Silas Zabatos
Rank: Cabin Boy
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Race: Half breed- Human and Siren
Physical description: Slight of frame and short of stature, he isn't much of a seaman yet. His skin is a light olive and seems stretched over his bony shoulders and long limbs. His hair is dark brown, thick and curly, falling to his shoulders and tied back sloppily. His eyes are wide, round and a light, almost grey, sea-foam green color. He dresses plainly in brown slacks, a cotton shirt and a dirty, blue-green sash that serves as a belt.

He has another form that he must take at least once a day, that of a Siren. His skin turns from a warm olive to a cool blue-green with a golden sheen. His legs form into a graceful fish-like tail, the fins sporting black, white and golden-yellow markings. His eyes become silver and he "loses" his human pupils, the siren ones are a barely detectable grey. He must soak in seawater to replenish his energy and to prevent himself from drying out.
A bit about you: He never knew his amphibious father, and he's not too happy with the fact, but he lived a happy and relatively normal life with his mother. Well, as normal as it can be with him turning into a fish once a day. He always dreamed of being a craftsman of jewels and fine metals, but with his mixed lineage and the mixed feelings the populace had on "unnatural" creatures, he knew it couldn't happen. That's why he took the job as Cabin Boy on the Tempest two months ago.

On board, Sil is hardly much use hauling ropes and moving barrels, but he is clever and light on his feet, able to slip through crowds and tight quarters with ease. He can get into the bowels of the hold and back without breaking anything. He's a quiet and somewhat meek boy, seeming quite out of place on a pirate ship, but the Captain has his eye on him, making sure the rest of the crew doesn't toy with him too much.
Why do you want to sail on the Red Tempest? His mother had told him the sea would call, and call it did, but he was terrified to go out into the ocean alone. Being on a ship with other "unnatural" people like himself seemed like a mighty fine idea, he might even get to see some genuine rare gemstones.

Username: PapillonCameo

Name: Karlin
Rank: Cook
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Physical description: Orangeish red hair, with hints of brown and blond. She's tall, buxom and very curvy. Karlin wears a black corset, tight brown leather pants. Around her waist is a blue sash, and a gun belt with one double-barreled pistol.
A bit about you: Fun loving with a thirst for adventure, what Karlin really wants is to become the most famous pirate in the known world. Failing that, she just wants to get as much treasure as she can.
Why do you want to sail on the Red Tempest?
Having been left behind by her last ship, Karlin has signed on to the Tempest for a change of pace and out of curiosity.

Username: Staria

Name: Leah Janan
Rank: Gunner
Age: Appears in her early 20’s but is far older.
Gender: Female
Race: Were-Cheetah(cursed, not infected)
Physical description: She is a tall, beautiful, curvy woman…well beautiful if you aren’t bothered by the three jagged claw marks that took her right eye. She isn’t bothered by them at all and seems rather proud of them in fact. She tends to dress in blue and neutrals colors, mainly black. She has white hair and pale blue eyes… well pale blue when she’s in control anyway. When the beast is in control her eyes are a vivid, predatory, cat-like gold.

She always has various weapons hidden on her person including her rune covered silver staff with its gems and charms hanging from it that all have a purpose and a reason for being there. She often wears different eye patches, enjoying playing around with different decorations and styles.
A bit about you: She is confident, independent, and highly intelligent. She is skilled in both the use of weapons and magic, often combining the two. As these skills suggest she is a bit of fighter in both ability and nature as her survival of her curse suggests. In fact one of the reasons she focuses on weaponry and magic that keeps people at a distance is to keep control of her beast.

She actually rarely uses her beast abilities, keeping it tightly bound through a combination of willpower and magic. She is always afraid of losing control and keeps people at a distance by her brash attitude. Of course, there are many who are attracted to the hands off, almost dominatrix type personality so she serves to attract customers in her own way… which is likely why Heiro gets along with her.
Why do you want to sail on the Red Tempest? The same reason she does anything… to learn more, explore more… That and she likes the eye candy on the Tempest as she allows herself no intimate relationships so that's the closest she comes.

Username: drakina

Name: Tal Serason
Rank: Boatswain
Age: early thirties, though he looks almost a decade younger
Gender: male
Race: three-quarters human, he doesn't know what the rest is (it's some species of dragon)
Physical description: Platinum blond hair that hangs to his shoulder blades frames a tanned face with vivid blue eyes. He stands a little under six foot, and usually wears loose trousers held up with a thick leather belt and rough vests.
A bit about you: He grew up with his mother in a little mountain village in sight of the sea, doing odd jobs for the money to keep them fed. When she fell ill and died, he was already an adult, he packed up and left, following some inner need to see the ocean, and something else. He first signed up on a pirate ship by accident, leaving it after just a couple ports. He's signed onto the Tempest after that, and it's been a few years.

Soft-spoken and sensible, he doesn't have the temperament usually expected from a pirate. If he was in a different occupation, he might be called a loveable bear, but when the situation calls for it, he can be a fierce fighter or stern disciplinarian. He loves the look and feel of precious metals, something he thinks he got from his father's side.
Why do you want to sail on the Red Tempest? He'd liked the idea proposed by the captain, and signed on. He's since worked his way up in rank to Boatswain.

Username: Arc Angel

Name: Sylvia Keating Hale
Rank: Quartermaster
Age: appears to be in her early 20's
Gender: Female
Race: Water Nymph
Physical description: A lean woman of a somewhat short height, she stands at 5'2" and weighs in at around 100lbs. Her skin is somewhat light with a healthy peach tint to it. Hair is kept short, never spent much time on, but always silky and seemingly in place. It curls in places, but is otherwise rather tamed, its color holding a warm brown, with hints of likewise coloring. Her eyes match splendidly, just a tad lighter in coloring, with a brightness that accompanies her excitement. Her skin, in its warm tone, is seamlessly left without markings, with the only exception of a long, crescent scar drawn across the side of her neck.

A bit about you:
She had always had a place living along the Carribbean isles, watching the local fisherman and pirates come to and fro to dock whether it be for supplies, shelter, or pleasure alike. Over the years her fascination grew, she took up a permanent human form, and began to beg the crews to let her aboard-- if only for a temporary amount of time. She was rejected by many, none such seeing a place for a small woman such as herself on their crews even with her vast knowledge of the area. Growing frustrated, she began to teach herself a bit of swordsmanry, and after becoming rather skilled at it eventually found her way into a pirate crew.

After years of traveling from ship to ship, she gained a reputation for searching a sense of adventure, a way to suit her fancy for pretty material objects. She grew a habit of theivery. From this a nickname caught on to her, 'Slit-throat Sylvia', one which earned her a nasty scar along her neck from a close encounter with the authorities. She then settled her ways after this encounter, and found her loyalty to individual crews growing strong.

Why do you want to sail on the Red Tempest?
She has a natural knack for finding adventure, and working on the Red Tempest would guarantee her such. Her knowledge of the surrounding area she can now put to use aboard with navigation.

Name: Jasper Eveque
Rank: Surgeon
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Physical description: He is a man of average height, with sun-kissed golden skin and typically-ruffled light blonde hair that hangs just to his shoulders, though it is usually well kept in a small ponytail. His eyes are of a slate grey coloring with golden flecks upon closer inspection, and he bears six small golden earrings through his left earlobe-- two on his right.

Clothing-wise he usually prefers loose, light colored blouses to be paired with simple black pants and boots. He nearly always keeps a small saddle bag strewn across his shoulders where quite a number of medical supplies are kept. He does carry a gun at the back of his waist, but doesn't facy using it.

A bit about you: Jasper is a fun-loving, carefree man with an intolerable thirst for adventure. Whatever excitement he lacked in his childhood years, living in a small village with his parents, he has been working to regain since he left home. He has a small sort of reputation, but nothing to be feared for-- while he leans towards finding trouble, he isn't much of a fighter, and far prefers avoiding conflict.

However rambunctious he had been in his life, he has a kind streak and has never been fond of seeing others hurt. This trait he picked up from his mother, who had worked as a doctor of sorts while he was growing up. He learned much of what he knows from her, and earned a living by tending towards pirates in need of surgical care before joining the crew of the Red Tempest.

Why do you want to sail on the Red Tempest?
After drifting from place to place, Jasper sought a more steady place to inhabit though never one where he would get entirely bored. As it turns out, a pirate's life rather suited him, and he enjoys helping out the crew with not only the search for adventure but also working as their surgeon.

Quote:

Username: PapillonCameo

Name: Priscilla Ann Endredi
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Physical Description: Long curly brown hair which is usually tied in a bun, she also has golden eyes and peach colored skin. She usually wears Long floor length skirts and high necked blouses, but because of the weather she might opt for short sleeved ones.
A bit about you: Her father dragged her on board, despite the fact that she gets quite seasick. Of noble birth, her mother has never really been a part of her life. Mostly because Priscilla has been told she died giving birth to her.
What sort of experience are you seeking aboard the Red Tempest?
All she wants from this voyage is to get back to land as soon as possible.

(*note: Priscilla's father is an NPC that may or may not take one of the four slots.)

Name: Nereus
Age: 23
Gender: male
Race: human
Physical Description: Nereus has white hair and wears armor. Most often then not in any case. A sword rests easily at his left hip, while a red cape adorns his shoulders. His dark piercing eyes search easily trough his surroundings in a suspicious manner.
A bit about you: After finishing his years of service during a war which took place over seas, the rather serious young man is attempting to make up for the wrongs he's caused others in his own way.

Username: drakina

Name: Pre'acha'n MacTire
Age: 23
Gender: male
Race: human
Physical Description: Slim and short, with pale skin speckled liberally with freckles and bright green eyes. Unruly dark brown hair falls in his eyes, escaping the ribbon he ties it back with. He dresses modestly for his rank, wearing good quality fabric in simpler cuts, mostly in greens and browns.
A bit about you: The middle son of a very wealthy merchant, he tends to be a bit wayward. The oldest son has been apprenticed into the family business, and the youngest is doted on by their mother, leaving Pre'acha'n to his own devices.

He tends to be a bit skittish, jumping at the slightest provocation, and will back down from a fight far more often than not.
What sort of experience are you seeking aboard the Red Tempest? Something exciting, but not so much that he'll never want to go on a ship again.

Username: Staria

Name: Shay Roshan
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Pyschai (doesn't know, only knows she is not human)
Physical Description: Picture! She inherited divine beauty from her true mother Psyche like all her sisters, though her wings tend to hide as tattoos upon her back so her inheritance appears to be incomplete. Due to this most of the time she appears merely a gorgeous human, her high-necked and old fashioned clothing hiding the mark. She tends to use a short cape or shawl as well, partially to hide the slits her wings can form through her blouse and partially to hide her…well-endowed curves. She may have the body of a love goddess but is as shy as a mouse so always hides her figure as best she can while still dressing according to her mother’s fashion whims. She even always wears part of her hair down to this end.

Her hair is dark red, almost the dark as it can be and still be distinctly red, and extends to her knees in soft waves. She often decorates it with butterfly pins and bows, her hair being one of her few physical parts she treats with obvious pride and joy. She also has large, innocent blue eyes with just the softest hint of green so they are almost the color of the sea. She has pale smooth skin and delicate features, most adult men able to wrap their hands around both her wrists with little effort. She is also not very tall or very short, being merely average at 5’6”

A bit about you: Her parents held a love that was so strong even cupid himself found it unfathomable but still their fondest wish was not granted by the mother’s body. They both desired a child and prayed for it separately, not wanting to burden the other. When they saw this the divines took pity on them. Cupid and Psyche placed one of their own children in the woman’s womb, and nine months later a clueless Shay was born to the equally unknowing human woman.

Shay is now a woman herself, though as naïve enough some would call her more of a girl. She is innocent, gentle, and loving. She is entirely what most would call a ‘pure soul’, sheltered by her human parents and favored by divine luck she knows little of torment or pain. She cries easily but rebounds just as quickly and never stays sad for long. She is also a bit of a day dreamer.

So, like most dreamers she desired something… more than her sheltered existence. She began to seek out adventure and her desperate parents were racked with worry. Finally they discovered the Tempest and figured it was a place where she could get her adventure but they would still have SOME peace of mind. So her father sent her, escorted by an old friend of his…
What sort of experience are you seeking aboard the Red Tempest?
Romance! Adventure! Freedom! Everything she has yet to experience due to her sheltered upbringing. Her parents figure that given this is her desire Red Tempest would be a place she would get in the least trouble out of what she would agree too.
