Wanted: Pirate Crew

Wanted: Pirate Crew
_________________________________


Calling all mischief makers, tricksters, thieves and outcasts.

Welcome to the den of the land pirates.
We roam the lands of Vykeli in search of the shiny, weird and unusual.
We take what we want, when we want and ne’er get caught.
Our HQ is in a downed space shuttled in the ruins.
Plenty of fermented drinks.

Ranks
Pirates have a hierarchy.
___________________________________


• All ranks are available (minus Captain).
  
• Feel free to choose whichever you think is best for the character you are applying for.
  
• The x1 or x2 show how many open positions are available for that rank. If there isn't one then the rank is full.
  
• Deck Hand is the only rank with endless openings.
  
• Ideally, I'd like to fill all the ranks with limited openings.
  
• Familiars that are bonded to a dire rat in the crew are automatically considered part of the crew as a deck hand.
  
• Familiars can hold a rank that is limited.
  
• Familiars do not have to be bonded to be part of the crew.
  ___________________________________
  
  
  • Captain
    xx -- The head of our crew. While this member is the leader of us, they work hard along side of us. They keep their rank because we respect them and they are the most skilled for the job.
    
    
  • Quartermaster
    xx -- Right hand of the Captain. They’re in charge when the Captain is away, gone, dead or otherwise unavailable. They are also in charge of the food and beverage supply.
    
    
  • First Mate x1
    xx -- Senior Officer. Oversees activities and maintenance of the "ship". Makes reports to the Captain. Can lead raids.
    
    
  • Second Mate x1
    xx -- Junior Officer. Usually a trusted crew member that helps out the First Mate. They can also stand in for the First Mate if they are incapacitated or become First Mate if the original leaves or perishes.
    
    
  • Navigator x1
    xx -- They help guide us on raid missions, keeps us from getting lost and maps out our surroundings and possible dangers.
    
    
  • Look Outs x1
    xx -- We keep an eye out for possible trouble around the HQ or act as lookouts on raids. We try to keep two minimum so there is always someone at the shuttle and someone on raids. When on raids, we can also go for help (either to an ally or whoever is still at the shuttle).
    
    
  • Healer x1
    xx -- Some times someone gets hurt or sick.
    
    
  • Cook
    xx -- Well...they make food and serve it. They work with the Quartermaster on inventory of food and beverage supplies.
    
    
  • Deck Hand - unlimited.
    xx -- All general crew who helps maintain HQ and go on raids. While they don't hold a specific position, they are still important crew mates that help keep things running and stocked.

Meet the Crew
Rowdy band of scallywags
________________________________

Captain -

Clever, cunning, mischievous, suspicious. Rebar loves to collect or steal various objects. Her tastes vary greatly in that aspect and she loves to build, create and invent. Because of this, her pirate HQ in the ruins is truly a sight to behold to anyone lucky enough to see it. Rebar is also great at holding her booze and loves to play games of chance. She was born and raised in the ruins but left her family in pursuit of her future pirate crew.


Quartermaster -

Pippen is a headstrong, independent, and thoroughly stubborn individual. He likes taking charge if there's something quite enticing to pull him in. Pippin is also quite a capricious sort seeking things in life his heart desires. He especially loves drinking the fermented juices, finding the shines, and dining on the finest feasts. Still, if given the right situation or offer, Pippen would be a viable source of loyalty when needed.


First Mate - none

Second Mate - none

Navigator - none

Lookouts -

• Gituku is all about doing shady deals and getting into mischief. Normally he will hang out in shady spots, dark holes and allies. He's a lookout you wont see til it's too late. If it's shiny, he will take it and horde it away. And tossing back mugs of fermented berry juice is his ideal way of relaxing. He's a big rat and good to have in a fight.
  
  


Healer - none

Cook -

Jolly but strong and in no way a pushover. If he could pick any Other animal to best describe himself it would be a wolf. He is loyal to his crew/pack/hut. He is lovable and takes great pride in feeding others so they are strong and healthy but also enjoying what they eat. If you go hungry when he is coming then it your own fault cause he will cook you whatever your heart desires and it will be great. But he also has a wild and angry side. Mess with his kitchen in anyway or get caught in there after hour and he well loss it. To him it's steeling from all the mouths he had to feed and since he feed you so well no reason for it.


Deck Hands -



• Jasper has a bit of a temper and wild streak in him. He's fascinated by fire and anything that makes loud sounds or explodes. If the sparks are flying, Jasper is probably nearby.
  
  
• Attor is rather sly and quiet. Two things together that can cause anything suspicious to happen. Attor has a thing for poisons and toxins. He can be found hunting for plants, fungi and insects that contain these things. He likes to keep them in jars in his personal space. It's best to leave them be.

Allies
Usually nouls who trade or provide services and turn a blind eye.
________________________________


• Xochipilli aka Xo
  xx -- His teahouse is the perfect hangout at night when we’re on break. So long as we don’t cause problems within his teahouse, he lets us hang out with fermented drinks and listen to the band. We even get to play the gaming tables. Because The Teahouse employs dire rats and other small critters, we don't stand out as much.
  
  

_______________
Gifts
Handy.
_______________

Dire rats are perfectly capable of being blessed with a gift, so long as they come in contact with a blue crystal. Seeing as it's shiny and unusual, I wouldn't put it past a pirate dire rat to investigate one and get magical abilities.

Gifts would actually benefit the crew in multiple ways. So whether your dire rat has a gift or not, that shouldn't hold them back from joining if they'd like to. They wont be discriminated against. Also, gaining a gift during a raid would probably be fun. *wink wink*

Raids
Tread lightly for thar be pirates here....
__________________________

Raids are the meat and potatoes of a land pirates life. It's how they obtain the supplies they need to survive but also to obtain desirable items whether they have a use or not. Pirates love the shiny and the boozy and that's no different for these pirates.


• Raids are fun dice based ORPs.
  
• Raids can be started and run by the Captain, Quartermaster, First Mate or Second Mate.
  
• Ideally, raids include a Navigator and a Look Out but a minimum of 3 crew members is all that is necessary.
