~Prelude~
This is year 40 of the fifth age of Centros, known as 'The Age of Demise', this roleplay takes place 30 years after the assassination of the overly corrupted Emperor Fremont by celebrated pirates Bern and Wolf. They continued to purge the old Emperor's evil system and any remaining followers to Fremont, hoping they have cleaned the muck out of the struggling empire for good.
They didn't.
As it turns out, the Centrosi Government spiraled lower and lower into struggling and corruption, mostly by greedy Barons killing each other for a throne they will have for only ten seconds before they too, feel the steel of the blade that back-stabs them.
The Island Empire of Centros, once a Naval Superpower that colonized the New Frontier more than anyone, now struggles to hold on to even it's own capital city, let alone it's colonies! They barely survived an attack from the Nearby Parish Kingdoms. Barons establish themselves apart from the high government, intending to set up nations of their own, morale in the military has reached an all-time low, and piracy has reached an all-time high with everyone hoping to strike it rich, and thrive in this struggling economy, maybe even willing to change it.
As for our legendary, reveled pirates of Bern and Wolf, they disappeared off of the face of this planet, never to be heard from again...
~Overview~
That's where you come in. You, for whatever reason, decided the pirate's life was for you, so you grabbed your friends, a sack of potatoes, and your old grandpaw's schooner and set course for fame, wealth, and power! Or perhaps you just want to sail the seas around Centros! (I hear it's very lovely there this time of year!) For whatever reason, you're here, treading the waters and the cities of this broken and dismayed nation, in the midst of a colonial age, where piracy stands supreme! With wealth and death awaiting every change in winds! Who knows, maybe you'll even fool around and restore order to chaos, or make a little order for yourself ;)
So, where will the road of piracy lead you? To death? To being rich and famous? Or perhaps something else
~The Empire of Centros~
(some of this stuff is not really important but still readable)
This is the Island Nation/Naval Empire of Centros, they are a group of tropical-esqe islands that are located just below their massive rival superpower of The Parish Kingdoms, located just above Centros, below and toward the left lie the Old Frontier, in which Centros has many strong colonies on, to the far left is the New Frontier, where colonies there is THE STUFF, also southeast there's a thick, green cloud that leaves that land undiscovered, but nobody made it back alive to see what lies there, people call that, and anything near it 'dead mans land'.
40 years ago, this used to be the most powerful Naval Empire in the world of Ethos, but years of corruption and greed landed this nation separated, and nearly destroyed. Now it struggles to hold itself together.
Centrosi Government was held in two levels, the High Government, which consisted of the Emperor and his Court of Lords, which serve as advisers and executors to his every decision.
And the Low Government, which consisted of the Barons of their respective holds, as well as the aristocracy under them, they ruled their holds under the Emperor's rule, although some tended to loophole this.
There are currently Eight holds in Centros, each ruled by a Baron and defended by a Stronghold of some sort, which control the military actions of the hold. These holds are Lowcliffe (Lowcliffe Pointe and Old Camp Fremont), Freewatch (Freewatch and Canturn), Dragonberry (Dragonberry Island, Dragonberry Rest, Dragon's Outpost and Malcom's Stone Watch), Southwatch (Southwatch Pass, Backwater City, Edgestone Bay, and Dead Man's Outpost)
Northwatch (Northwatch, Paradise Harbor, and Camp Orthos)
Seymour's Island (Fort Seymour), Hightowers (Fort Evelyn, Hightowers, and Parish Outpost) and finally, the Capital city of Centros City itself.

~Rules and Leadership~
~ Your GM in charge of Lore, Plot, and other juicy stuff will be @Librarian Cat ~
~Your GM in charge of Enforcement and whipping the other GM into shape will be @Dedtoo ~
~Your Co-GM will be @Archwar ~
1.If you have any questions, comments, concerns, lore additions, planned events, ideas, help, or anything not said, PLEASE contact the people tagged above, we will go out of our way to help you!
2. We have no limits on posting, but please make sure your post both A) Moves something along (isn't bland and stagnant) and B) has some sort of interaction with another player in it.
3. Some standard rules, No god-modding, manipulation of other people's characters or ships w/o permission, no changing story w/o permission, and PLEASE no OOC flaming. It's disgusting, and nobody wants to see it, if you MUST argue, keep it to PC chat please.
4. Being an all-age group RP, I assume we will have 16 year-olds hanging out with 20 year-olds, that being said, I don't care what you post Romance-wise, but be VERY considerate for people that do.
5. Same goes with swearing, pirates swear alot, I mean, it's not that far from a sailor, but don't be like Scar-face and swear every other word.
6. Character Deaths: Let me state that first, piracy ain't fair, people die in the pirates life, a lot, and life expectancy isn't high, so if your character dies, be sure to have a backup on the ready, If you are REALLY attached to this character we might be nice and make an exception, but don't rely on that. Piracy doesn't tolerate whiners (however WINE IS tolerated!), don't be one.
7. PVP: The most likely way your character will die is from another character, I'm being serious, If you lose, your fate is theirs whether you like it or not. But people on Iwaku are most likely going to be nice and merciful to you, so I wouldn't sweat it. PVP battles will be determined among the players fighting each other until they come to a conclusion, if they CANNOT come to a conclusion, a vote will be done by the members of the entire group to determine a winner.
8. Unfair Clause: Keep PVP ties in a low amount here, I get it, we all wanna live and be just as good as that other guy, but that is almost never the truth, plus, it almost never builds a character and give a tear-jerking moment to say they both took a stab at each other and walked away! I mean, what the heck is that?
9. This roleplay may not have the most plot, or the best setting, but, heck! There's only so much you can write about pirates, that's why I plead to you, fellow roleplayer, join us on our adventure! and help us add lore over time as this story progresses into the next part into the series, yeah that's right, your actions in this roleplay affect the next one! SO HAVE FUN AND PIRATE ON!
10. In terms of posting speed and inactivity rules, I'm not OCD, I don't have specific time for everything, who even does that whole '2 weeks or your out' thing anyways? Exactly. So here's how we do it here. I RECOMMEND a post once or more a week for posting speed. However, If we think you have been inactive, we will send you a PM, in which you have about five days to reply about something, If you do not reply, your character will become an NPC controlled by one of us GM's, in which chances are you'll end up as cannon fodder. If you were fighting a player during that time, your life is forfeit, sorry. If you were currently interacting with a player and you are deemed inactive, the player you were interacting with has FULL RIGHTS to your character, no questions asked. If you will be inactive on Iwaku for more than a week, please notify us so we can reserve you, however, anything more than a month will just not fly.
11. If you read the rules, post something about BLUEBEARD in your CS!

I sure as butts know that other people are, and that I, nor any of the GM's here, are not held responsible for your posting actions, if you post stupid, we report you, period. I'm not here to tell you right from wrong, figure out what's appropriate posting material!
