I was actually planning on starting the game in the immediate aftermath of the mutiny, where questions of captaincy and other positions would be worked out IC. Working out pirate Articles of Agreement sounds like fun roleplaying to me. If everyone else prefers figuring this stuff out OOC though I have no objections. That's up to you guys though.

Dalgar the Great wrote: Thanks, if me having a special race causes problems I'd be happy to redo my character concept. Nope you're still good. Remember, however, that all the PCs were originally involuntary crew-members of a single pirate ship. Perhaps it was the pirates who enslaved your character (they'd have needed some means of preventing him from just swimming away). Otherwise your character would have had to have been a voluntary member of the "evil" crew, in which case you'll need to have a reason why you were involved in the mutiny (and not marooned with the rest of the officers. Not that marooning would be much of a problem for a Gillman). Alben Petch and Alana look good, seems like they're ready to roll. Harvey Dagger is fine stat-wise, but I'm more interested in backstories. I'd seriously recommend either Alben or Alana changing their name if I'm to be expected to tell them apart :P
I'm not going to have room for everyone who has posted already. I'll wait and see who posts what and who sticks around. If you want to secure a slot impress me with your character backstory.

If you have a concept that hinges on a non-Core race I'll consider it, but if your plan is to look through the non-Core races to find something weird you like to base a concept on that's not really want I'm looking for. YoricksRequiem wrote: I suppose failing at that, I could do it as an Undine or even an Elf. What do you think? I'd prefer people stick to Core races, as I indicated in the character creation section. I was okay with the Gillman because the concept hinged on it but I don't really don't want a whole party of different underwater races. Also a merfolk taking a level of Barbarian so they can zip around on land like some oiled up seal is kind of silly. This is very far from the tone I'm going for. If this is what you have in mind you should think of a different concept.

Btw I think the Wave Oracle sounds cool. I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. Just keep me informed of what you're thinking of playing.
Premise:
You'd been raiding merchant ships in the Arcadian Ocean based out of Ilizmagorti under the notorious pirate captain known as the Smiling Bastard. Most of you were press-ganged into the crew and left chained inside the hold whenever the ship was docked. Even those of you who joined the Bastard's crew by choice lacked the option to leave. Eventually the crew was pushed too far.
You were one of the leaders of a mutiny that saw the Smiling Bastard killed and his officers marooned on an uninhabited island. You now find yourself one of the officers aboard the pirate brigantine Inauspicious Grin, a distinctive ship with a notorious reputation. You have seized back your destiny from the mad pirate captain and so what happens next is in your hands. Character Creation:
PCs will be 5th level and can have any Core or Base Class and any Core Race.
20 point buy for Ability Scores. Two traits max. The setting is the Inner Sea in Golarion. Starting wealth is standard for your level (10,500 gp). I especially reccomend checking out the book Pirates of the Inner Sea if you have access to it. Other: I am looking for 4-5 players who can post once per day or more. If you would like to apply post a backstory for approval.
Each PC will command the loyalty of five 1st level NPC crew-members who they personally recruited to the mutiny. You can choose the race/NPC class combinations for each of your five. |
