~~Endless Horizon~~
As far as the eye can see....

Close your eyes....what do your senses tell you that your eyes cannot?

In the soft dark you can hear it, the roar of the ocean. In the gentle breeze you can smell it, the salty air of the sea.

The smell of freedom and excitement, adventure and the unknown.

Open your eyes. The bright sun blinds you for a moment, but soon your eyes adjust, and you see it---two shades of deep blue divided by an unseeable line. The sea and the sky.

Youve always lived here, its always been what you know. The mystery and beauty of the ocean, powerful and yet gentle, kind and yet at times, angry and turbulent. But always it is there, and ever present part of your life. The coming and going of the waves is familiar to you, and yet is a part of the ever changing ocean. This is your life, whether you be a fisherman or a dock-worker, a marine biologist or a watcher of sea life. Whether you be tied to the sea to make your living, or just love the feel of the water under your feet, the ocean is what you know.

Though, no one really knows all its mysteries, especially in these early times of exploration. It is June 7th, 1734 AD on the beautiful island of Serenity, in the Pacific Ocean. The day began like normal, the morning sun rose from the horizon, turning both sea and sky orange, then gold, and then both became deep blue as the sun continued to rise. People rose from sleep and began to go about their daily activities, whatever they would be. But today was different from other days, for something new appeared on the horizon. Something new, and semingly impossible.

A majestic ship appeared, a first a tiny dot on the horizon at dawn, but as the sun rose it grew closer, and finally came to dock at the islands main port. But the stragest part was not its arrival, for when the ship was investigated it was found to have no crew. Somehow it navigated its way to this island with no human direction. Something about it calls to you, and with no fear of the unknown, you and others who are curious step aboard, and begin to explore. Just as the last person boards the deck, the ship departs, as if it knew what went on around it, as if it had chosen these people.

They knew not what, but one thing was for sure....

It would be...an adventure....​

This is set in the 1700s on a fantasy island, but since its a fantasy the sea will be filled with all kinds of fantastic creatures. Also, use your imagination on your characters ^-~ Lots of unusual things will happen along the course of this journey, so be prepared for anything ^-~

And heres mine:

Name: Kailani Kelby

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance: Long, slightly wavy ocean blue hair, dark green eyes. Usually wore cut off light blue jeans, a green tank top and a white vest with the kanji symbol for ‘Fish’ on the back (if anyone can show me a pic of this symbol Ill be very grateful ^v^ I want to draw a picture) Has a necklace with a sharks tooth entwined in leather around her neck. Does a lot of wading and so usually goes around barefoot. Is a bit more tan than most other people she knows, due to the fact she spends most of her time outside near the docks.


Personality: A very emotional person, she usually has a very cheerful air about her. Easy going and mellow, but if something sets her off, she leaves a trail of destruction in her wake. Its hard to tell her current emotion as it shifts as fast as her thoughts, but overall shes a loyal, kind person. Wont go out of her way to make friends but is glad to have them. Relatively quiet but not anti-social, she talks to people only when she feels she needs to.

Occupation/skills: Very good at fishing, also knows knot tying and can navigate by the stars. Also likes to sing, and plays the flute as a hobby. Is good at swimming, but feels funny about ocean animals.

History: For all of her life she has lived as part of a fishing family. She was raised on the salty smell of the sea and the rise and fall of the ocean. She went to school but most of the technological and mathmatical things didnt interest her, she was mostly interested in science, most specifically the constellations and the affect of the moon on the tides. She wanted to understand everything about what she considered her true home--the ocean. She always liked to stay in shape, and she felt martial arts in addition to swimming, was a great way to keep her body fit. Practiced aikido for 5 years, and found it to not only help get her body in shape but also her oftentimes turbulent mind. Lives with her father and 4 brothers. Can be quite the tomboy ^-^()

Weapons/Tools: Has a fishing pole, a fishing net and a couple of spears. She was about to go fishing when the ship came so she had all her fishing gear with her. Is good at making use of just about anything if need be.


What about the ship drew you to it?: The grace with which it moved through the water, it conveyed a sense of mystery and excitement.

Worst fear: Being in the water and feeling an animal or even anything brush against her, even if its a piece of seaweed XD Shes not afraid of the creatures IN the water, she just gets freaked out by that feeling lol

Other: Is open honest and aloof, doesnt understand why anyone would lie so sometimes is a bit gullible lol Sometimes being gullible is her weakness, but other times her frank-ness and way of pointing out things gets her out of trouble.


I have a computer now so RPG time ^v^

 

[Shiksa ♥]

I'm interesting in joining...but I don't want to make a profile and stuff if barely anyone else is going to join so then we can't play...

 

[OutlawJT]

You don't know who you're talking to Hitchi. Only way it won't start and finish is if Asi looses her internet again which shouldn't happen for some time.

Name: Jonathan Micus Grant (his close friends call him by his middle name but everyone else calls him Jonathan)
Age: 16
Gender: male
Appearance: 5'11", lean and tough build, short red hair, sky blue eyes. He wears a white loose long sleeved shir, a black vest with his family crest on the right chest(an upright mast crossed by a blacksmith's hammer), and dark gray casual pants and long black boots.
Personality: Dutiful, responsible but bored with his life. He longs for the adventures he reads about in modern day novels. Pirates, swashbuckling, treasures; these are the things that occupy his imagination and his desires. He is very upbeat and playful with his friends but inside he is very depressed and feels trapped to becoming a blacksmith the rest of his days.
Occupation/skills: He's the son and apprentice of a blacksmith. Mostly they make harpoons and fittings for ships(so he knows his way around one and knows a bit about their construction and how to fix some things). However, he took it upon himself to learn how to craft weapons. He crafted himself a very intricate and pretty cutlass (it looks like the guard and pummel were crafted from silver but it is just coated and polished that way. his family can't afford gold and silver to forge anything with). He fancies himself a swashbuckler and although he's never been in a fight his style seems to back up his words. He has practiced with sticks since he was 9 and his cutlass since he finished it a year ago.
History: Not much history to tell. His family moved to the island from Ireland when he was only 2. He was raised here and became his fathers apprentice when he was 9. He has a few good friends on the island but his heart is truly somewhere else in the world and he hasn't found it yet.
Weapon/Tools: He has a finely crafted and ornate cutlass and he carries his blacksmith's hammer tucked behind him in his belt (it is slightly smaller than a full blacksmith's hammer but it is just as useful)
What about the ship drew you to it?: He could smell adventure in its approach and he couldn't wait to get onboard. Not to mention word of it's approach provided an excellent excuse for him to get out of his duties at his fathers shop for a few hours..
Worst fear: He has a couple. Dying useless and alone, spending his whole life as a poor blacksmith and never having an adventure, failing his friends when they need him most.
Other: *beats Other with a stick*

 

[WolfinOutlawAsi]

Yup, Im starting this RPG no matter what ^-^ Im adding 2 more characters Im going to play ^v~

Name: David Horizon

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance: Sea green hair, light gray eyes, slightly tanned skin. He wears a light blue vest over his bare chest and baggy white pants that bunch near the bottom. Has a tattoo of a sun and moon, one on each of his shoulders. Usually is barefoot but sometimes wear straw sandals.

Personality: Very crafty and sharp eyed, he can see between the lines on almost anything. Is interested in gaining and keeping wealth, and likes the shine of gold. Some may call him stingy, but hes very generous when he has money, but only in bars lol He may be a bit on the sneaky side, but he has a kind heart, and will help people out that need it. Sticks by his friends, though he has very few. Has no problems with stealing from people he deems 'unworthy of respect' lol Has a lot of charisma and charm lol

Occupation/skills: He can move silently, and has a head for business deals, being the son of a merchant he can tell you the value of just about anything. Is good with words, and can strike a deal with even the toughest hagglers

History: Grew up as the son of a wealthy merchant, he learned the trade early on and found himself good at it. Was fascinated by ships of all kinds, and wanted to learn everything he could about them. Always wanted to be the captain of one, but the opportunity had never presented itself, and his family needed him to take care of the business after his father died at sea. His mother was afraid hed meet the same fate if he ever sailed and so was very protective of him.

Weapon/Tools: He doesnt have much on him by way of tools, but he does have a few throwing daggers and his wits. Hes also very good at bar brawls lol so he pretty relies on himself for everything he needs.

What about the ship drew you to it?: The promise it held for travelling to unknown places, and the excitement of possible treasure-hunting ^v^

Worst fear: Being helpless when hes needed the most

Other: He has a weakness for tough girls and tends to lose focus when talking to one ^-^() LOL
Also, he has a blue jay thats not really a pet(since he doesnt own it) but it kinda stays with him, named Sam. When asked why he named the bird, hed say he didnt, the bird just told him that was his name. No one knows whether hes joking or not. Also, Sam is very attracted to shiny things, and like his human companion will collect such things lol



Name: Illarpé

Age: Unknown

Gender: Female

Appearance: Completely translucient, her features are all faintly defined in a wispy white fog. She is a ghost, and appears to be a young woman with long wavy hair and wearing a white old fashioned elegant gown. She is not easily seen, but she can be seen, most of the time her prescence is felt before shes noticed though. Her faint eyes shine with a sense of hurt, lonliness and sorrow.

Personality: Kind and gentle, but goes about with the air of one who is mourning something or someone. She seems lost, and wanders the beach, never going close to the water. Has an air of sadness about her, though its apparent its not for herself, she is sad for another.
Her voice is like the faint whisper of the wind.

Occupation/skills: Can sense when others are nearby, and can speak with the dead. Can use her will to become semi physical for a matter of minutes, to either shield someone, move objects, or touch people, but afterwards she becomes transparent and unable to do more than speak, though in this weakened state she is even more hard to hear than usual.

History: In life she was a cheerful daughter of nobility, in love with a young sailor. They were to be married as soon as he got back from exploring the nearby islands, but the ship ran aground and he and the crew were never heard from again. She refused to believe he was dead and walked the beach every day, waiting for him, until one day she died silently of a broken heart. Now, she doesnt seem to know shes dead and continues to wait for the day he comes back to her.

What about the ship drew you to it?: Seeing it one day as she wandered, she thought it was the ship of her beloved, so ignoring the water around it she floated aboard. Now is stuck on it with everyone else.

Worst fear: Sure enough....she has a fear of water lol she wont go near it, and even though she could easily float across it she wont because it frightens her deep inside. It might have something to do with how she died, though she herself remembers nothing of it.

Other: She can be seen in the daytime, though its very hard due to the sunlight, and many legends have developed about her over the years though she is unaware of them and even the passage of time.

People could have heard about the legends and maybe seen glimpses of her, but no one should know her until after theyre on the ship ^-~

 

[Master Rudy]

Name-Jacen Geddes
Age-17
Gender-Male
Appearance-Not overly tall (stands at about 5' 10"), wears a 18th century style white shirt (you know the type. Open at the chest and flaired out at the sleeves), brown boots, grey pants and a light blue sash. Has long blond hair tied back into a ponytail with a matching blue ribbon and blue eyes.
Personality-Friendly and outgoing. Would risk his life instead of leaving someone behind in a dangerous situation.
Occupation/skills-Prior to the adventure he was training to be a town guard. Excellent with blades of all types. Fighting style throws people off since he's left handed and also uses his sword with both hands. Is also pretty decent at fighting with two blades.
History-Pretty much born and raised on the island. Family tradition was for the males of this family to protect the island. Despite being trained as a guard he would much rather go out to sea as an explorer.
Weapon/Tools-An old yet well maintained short sword passed down in the family. Also carries a small dagger with him as well.
What about the ship drew you to it?-Not really sure what drew him torwards the ship. Sort of felt that the ship had an air of mystery and adventure around it.

Other-*cuts other into two*

 

[WolfinOutlawAsi]

Ok, Im going to go ahead and start this. LSUs are welcome of course, and for those of you who were interested but not sure if it was going to get anywhere, put your fears to rest ^v~

 

[pokemasterfrank]

Name: Stephen Cook
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Appearance: Messy brown hair. He doesn't care for his hair much, since his introvertedness makes caring what other people think of him a non-factor. Brown eyes. He stands at around 5'9''. Normal height, normal weight. Normal 18th century attire. Again, his clothes aren't straight or tidy. Looks kind of like he slept in his clothes.

Personality: Timid, shy, etc. He doesn't do very well in crowds...especially crowds that are focused on him

Occupation/skills: He can't swim (though I suppose that is lack of skill ). He does however, have a better education than most and has minor knowledge of the stars, which could help in direction finding and time telling :O

History: Born and raised on the island. Even though his parents weren't very well off, they gathered whatever money they could so he could have the privalege of education. However, he found himself occupationless and trade-skillless at the age of 18, still living off his parents. He spent his days at home, reading stories of brave adventurers and hopeless romantics. He hoped that he could one day write stories as wonderful as the ones he had enjoyed. However, when he turned 19, his parents had enough of his freeloading and gave him the boot, which happened to be on the day the boat docked. Coincedence, no?

Weapon/Tools: He has a few books and whatever he could carry out of his house that belonged to him.

What about the ship drew you to it?: Hehe...he was roaming around looking for work and a place to stay when...well, lets just say writing while walking isn't the smartest thing to do

Worst fear: Social Situations.

Other: OMG Rudy isn't playing a character named Rudy :O

 

[OutlawJT]

Name: Elizabeth Eleanor Michaels (her friends call her Ellie)
Age: 17
Gender: female
Appearance: see attachment
Personality: She is kind but naive. She has a tendency to talk down to people because she was raised as if though everyone else was from a lower station in life. She is curious but not always patient.
Occupation/skills: She is exceptionally well educated. However, she has no practical skills and is accustomed to everything being done for her.
History: Elizabeth was born into one of the wealthiest families on the island. From birth she was raised to be a Lady of Court. She has been given all the benefits available on the island including a top notch education. Almost all her life she has taken it for granted but recently she has come to know the price her station in life carries. Her father arranged for her to be married to a wealthy member of parliament back in London who was just better than twice her age. She was to be sent on the next transport bound for England. Suddenly she grew very afraid for her future and sought a way to escape this arranged fate. The arrival of the mystery ship seemed like a blessing to her and she quickly stole away aboard the vessel.
Weapon/Tools: A frilly umbrella that matches her dress
What about the ship drew you to it?: It presented a means of escaping her duty to her father.
Worst fear: Her worst fears are that her life will not be her own and that she'll never find true love.
Other:

 

[Jaycia]

Yay, RPGs are back! I wish I had seen this one earlier...hopefully there's still room for me?


Name: Kira Danielson

Age: 16

Appearance: Average sized, with long, straight, light brown hair, and gray-blue eyes. She wears a blue blouse and boy’s trousers, simply because she thinks 18th – century women’s clothing uncomfortable and impractical.

Personality: Friendly, cheerful and outgoing, though often quick to rise to a temper. She is always ready to lend a helping hand. She is adventurous and eager to explore, but this can sometimes lead her to make rash decisions.

History: The fourth of nine children born to a poor fishing family, Kira was given little attention as a child from her overworked parents. Kira has always had a sense of adventure, and, as she was given quite a bit of freedom as a child, often wandered off on her own, into the city, or exploring the length of the beach, sometimes not returning for days on end. When she did return from these excursions, she was met by a harsh scolding from her parents and elder siblings. Once, when she was eleven, she stole her father’s fishing boat and went out into the sea on her own, an incident that almost lead to her death when a storm nearly capsized the boat. However, that incident does not seem to have made her more cautious.

Skills: She is a good swimmer, can maneuver a boat, and catch and prepare fish for a meal. She can navigate by the stars, but not extremely well. She is also a fairly accomplished pickpocket, a trade she learned on the streets as a child.

Weapons/Tools: A small, sharp knife that can be used in self-defense, or as a tool.

Worst Fear: Being attacked from behind; being caught and helpless and at another’s mercy.

What drew her to the ship: She has known how to maneuver a boat since she was seven, owing to practice on her father’s fishing boat. She has always lived by the sea and loved it, and has dreamed of going on a sea adventure for ever since she can remember. When the enormous, majestic ship arrived, Kira felt her lifelong daydream was coming true – and she could not miss out on this.

 

[WolfinOutlawAsi]

Great character! Of course theres still room ^-^ Approved! ^v~

 

[Dark Fire]

Sorry for the crapinnes, I can do better I'm just a bit tired right now. Also I hope we don't need a sample RPG, cuz I'm way too tired to do it right now.


Name: Mark Rivers

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: Average height with long brown. Blue eyes, and a small scar on his left cheek. His skin is light, but not that pale. He wears leather armour on his forearms and shins. He also wears a light body armour piece made of solid, but light metal. This is what most respected hunters wear where he's from.

For a better look refer to Prince of Persia [Warrior Within]:

Personality: Mark is very relaxed and likes to open up to new people. He is very outgoing and loves to have a good time. When it is time to be serious he could deffiantly be cool about it, and use his brains to his aid. He is also very good at keeping hs cool, and not showing that he is mad, frustrated or confused.

Occupation/skills: Mark is a great Hunter. He was raised to become one since he was 5 and he always showed that he had the potential to be great at it. Very few hunters in the village are anywhere near his skills, that is why he is currently wearing the clothes only the greatest hunters wear. The Silver Shield as they call it. He was the first to wear since Morgan [the Great] had become too old to hunt, that was over a hundred years before Mark's birth.

History: Look above XP...

Weapon/Tools: - Three throwing knives on his belt
- 1 Skinning knife
- 2 Swords: 1 Throwable and serrated the other double edged and close combat.
- Bow and arrow on occasion.
Note: Since this is a fantasy, I hope it's not too bad if I keep some secrets bout the swords. Nothing big; if not I'll edit it into here.

What about the ship drew you to it?: While hunting he felt a little something tugging him towards the beach. First he thought it was just his hunter instinct, but soon realised it was something else. Looking far onto the horizon he noticed a small silver sail, and soon relised it was boat. Once anchored he figured this was some kind of trick, seeing as there were no people . But once again something tugged him into the ship hoping he can have a new adventure, and help perfect his hunting technique. he hoped this trip would finnaly give him the opprotunity to learn how to fish.

Worst fear: hehe, I don't fear touching things in the water, I just hate the feeling. I once stepped on a lobster the size of a melon and since than hate the feeling of stepping on things ... anyway ... Mark fear a couple of things worst of which is being alone in a dark and small place. He doesn't mind it when he has his weapons, but if he was left to ponder a silent hallway he would deffiantly panic.

Other: Mark's got a pet Hawk which hunts by herself. She will be accompanying Mark on this adventure.

 

[WolfinOutlawAsi]

What do you mean by 'sample RPG'?

Yeah, it IS a fantasy so Im encouraging people to use their imaginations ^-^ The sword thing is ok, just try not to make it too overpowered ^-~

One thing, since he is a hunter and wears clothes like that, how about he lived in a small hunting village on the island, like his people believed on living off the land or something? He wouldnt live in the main town but would visit occasionally to trade for things is village needed.

All in all, great character ^-^ Ill add his name to the crew roster so once you read the other posts feel free to make your post ^v~

 

[Reyzadren]

Name: Ythrulances Centin Davis (in short, yth)
Age: 21, born in year 1713 according to the story
Gender: Male

Appearance: White medlong hair with until at least the shoulders or shorter. Red eyes as if it is filled with vengance. Wearing some sort of a dark green uniform with a belt. Carrying 2 books on his left hand, while his right hand is free. His watch is also on his left hand. From his right hands, stretched down some black cloth from the sleeves as if torned but not. Wearing black shoes too. Yes, he is not really technically blur but he wears small squared-spectacles for style and for his sight. Oh yeah oh yeah, his uniform has some fur coat style in it too, but you can barely see it ^-^

Occupation/skills: Known as a draft logger of sorts, a certified title given to only honourifically bestowed graduates from drafters and loggers. The amazing grasp to handle diaries and stationaries to utilize them to full potential, other than that, they could skim through books quickly. Other wise, he is currently fulfilling the quest of an etymologist, finding the diverse cultures and myths and their origin and roots. Sounds like a daunting task, but he chose this path from the etymologist progression. He has no skills what so ever, but, he learns other stuff quickly if he likes it and if it does not interfere with his...

Personality: He is short tempered and easily angered. Though, that is a bad quality for a draft logger, as they should remain stoned. In fact, he tries to stay sturdy, but his friendliness drives him away often. He is often complicated with emotions, but he is rather simple to understand once you get close to him.

History: Yth comes from a generation that comes to this island long time ago, therefore, his religions and beliefs might be different, but he is still human nonetheless. His family is always neutral about him, and gives him support. Has an elder brother that enjoys the masteries of swordplay and has a younger sister that just adores the art of persuasion. He has the belief of the 3 affinities (a simplified english translation of what it seems to be), that leads to even more beliefs. A brief detail about the 3 affinities is that people are divided into 3 main big categories, you have no reason nor power to change that and it is based on family so it is passed down, but wait, what if the parents have different affinities? Then, the children will have the same affinity amongst each other but have a different affinity from the parent. Since Yth's mother is Akya affinitied and his father is Guiron affinitied, that means that he is Rukne affinitied. It is believed that Rukne affinities are mostly hard to grind, but does it apply to Yth? Only the story knows...

Weapon: Hmm, it seems that he favors speed above everything else, so his weapon is most likely a dagger. But it doesn't seem that he could bring a dagger around with that kind of suite. Strange, but yeah, a dagger.

Tools: About his suite and belt, he could fit a beaker into it. To some people it is the most ovbious things, but for others, it seems as if nothing was on his waist, because it was hidden under his clothes. It is pair of beaker, that contains 2 several solutions. Rather, one looks like a suspension instead of a solution. Wonder what these do, not to mention, there are other small things he brought along too, like a penknife ( :O ) on his left waist and his belt holds something, y'know, the metallic buckler, but it is still weird, towards what he was carrying. But rest assured, he does not do violence nor anything extreme

What about the ship drew you to it?: As a pre-requiste for the etymology yearly assessment, looks like the ship drew him an answer sheet and he walked through it.

Worst fear: Fear, of himself. Fear, of lost. What does this mean? He fears himself, or some other side of him, probably a dark side, that he seems not to be fond with. Or what if it was just imagination. He likes being alone, but he fears of lost. Being lost, with no sound, nothingness...

Other: Well, this should be an extension to skills, but I feel that it fits in this category. Anyway, Yth has healing abilities but he does not know he has them, healing in a sense that is not powerful that he could revive someone but probably hasten the pain of a small single wound. He is strong in spirit and doesn't really care about emotions. His history/past will be revealed slowly in each progressing chapter of the story, if possible. But, he has sometimes a stench of arrogance auraing around him, be watchful, he is not your average mage, in fact, he isn't even a mage lol XD

Notes: Wow, first time RPing other than Fizzy Bubbles, and I don't even read books, great, wonder how I'm ever going to RP without any reading skills, but meh, I'll try to get along if I can, tough for a non-reader. Wait, sign-ups are not closed is it not?

Unlocks: =None of Yth's secret has been unlocked so far=

 

[WolfinOutlawAsi]

No, sign ups are not closed ^-^ Be sure to read all the posts so far and then go ahead and begin, Ill add your name to the Book ^-~
