I never knew there were so many people on one ship! xDIf you guys haven't already seen it, the occupations of each pirate on a ship is on the last page. A brief explanation is provided with each occupation. (:
We have nothing for the storyline; that's why we have this group rp plotting thread. Dragon threw out their ideas. You can brainstorm your own ideas or go off one of theirs, adding on to improve the their idea as a whole. (:So what really have we got so far for the storyline and such? Pirates go hand in hand with treasure so maybe we could do a simple "let's find the gold" type plot and work off of that (throwing in twists and turns) or we can think of something completely out there? Davy Jones/ his crew and Kraken in POC come to mind for an out there type plot.
This first idea here really sparks my interests. There is a buttload of characters that can be written to fit the storyline. The pirates also don't have to just kidnap one wealthy girl-- the could go around continuously kidnapping the wealthiest heiress' across England. You could also incorporate the third idea:One is a where the crew is running low on funds, so they kidnap an upper-class girl for ransom. The story revolves around the attempts to get the ransom from the girl's parents without getting caught by the navy and the girl's learning that just because they're criminals doesn't mean that their motivations are all bad.
So one of the girl's thinks she can come up with a plan to save everyone by telling the pirates that she knows of a secret treasure or magical item that will set these pirates for life. It's obviously a scam, but these pirates are incredibly desperate. Maybe one or two is suspicious and that's how they play an important role in the story. They are the only ones speaking out against going to this "secret treasure". You could incorporate stowaways on the ship who aren't really apart of the crew (in need of adventure or just there for the ransom money). There are also the Naval ships-- them and their crews will be chasing these pirates, but not all soldiers of the Navy have good intentions. If you want to add more Fantasy then, as a group, we could all brainstorm a couple of magical beings of sorts or just one. They could be a protagonist or antagonist.Last idea is one about some pirates who are searching for a legendary treasure, but the only person (read enchantress) who knows the details isn't exactly cooperative. They'll have to imprison her aboard the ship, in shackles specifically designed to drain her powers, in hopes of getting the information out of her and finding what they seek.
@F L Y: I like that idea a lot.
Ooooooh yay!~@F L Y I love that idea! :D
OOOOOH YES! Everything that a good pirate RP has to have. I'm really excited for this now. : )My other plot candies include suspense, unrequited love, forbidden love, tragedy, and antiheroes. (:
I'm really, really tempted to make one of the girls... I hope you all aren't against making the girls (if any of you make one) at least 20 years old. If so, 18 is the minimum age they can be. I plan to play a few (minor) secondary characters who are just part of the crew. Maybe the cabin boy or a simple sailor... Are any of you against the idea of one of the girls (hoping it could be mine haha; I'm greedy) developing a relationship with the captain, be it an unrequited love from either perspective, or simply a forbidden love altogether?OOOOOH YES! Everything that a good pirate RP has to have. I'm really excited for this now. : )
