HELLO I forgot to remember when you are coming back! when are you coming back also is there anyone left that we are waiting on profiles for, or are we all ready to get this ball rolling? I assume everyone will be mega busy with their families this weekend, but I am 100% ready to get started!
I'm ready to go any time that's good for everyone else. I mean, I'll be on at least once a day ready to post when I can. (However, just because we can post, doesn't mean we should all the time either.)
I'm more of a night owl... so I'll probably be able to post every day, unless I need to mull over the previous posts and think a bit... then I'd post the next day. wink

Hester is the captain of the ship. So I'm sure she'll notice her around. =D
I'm ready to start as well! Totally ready to kick some booty!

Well I think the general jist is game ready . . so we should be able to start soon . Do we want to wait for the weekend to roll over ?

I have internet but I'm actually sailing and I'm the skipper's mate ( aka 1st mate ) so I don't have a tonne of down time to hope on my laptop each day like I usually do - although I'm trying to check in . Conveniently , I'm learning like everything about sailing and ships as we go into this roleplay so I'm really up to speed ( and oddly enough , I'm both helm under sail and power and bar/harbour pilot under power so I really understand my characters right now >< ) I should be back on the 7th , but I'll be off the sea on Saturday .

owo ~flails as she's dragged in~ hello everyone!!! I'm ready to rock and rp whenever anyone else is biggrin I work both of my jobs today so I will be on when I can.
I finally sent in my profile. I guess I'll be starting on land.
The sooner we start, the better. I have lots of summer stuff coming up and I just realized I'll be away for most of August. Maybe Nathan should get kicked off the first ship he tries and get stuck somewhere, I don't know. I guess it depends on how fast the RP progresses.
I'm sure George would know Hester, at least on sight!

Also, since George was aboard the same ship as Fleur before she was taken prisoner, she must have known people from the Absolute Bearing. She's supposed to have been on with them for a few years. Therefore, she should know Gerald Willington and Rob Roy as well, right? You guys agree?

Upon further review, I noticed that George would've have joined the crew of the Absolute Bearing sometime after Fleur and her mother rejoined, around when Fleur was 10 and George was 25. So instead of George being there to greet Fleur, it would have been the other way around! Just thought I'd put that here for future reference smile

This would depend upon how long ago that was. Gerald has only been with the Absolute Bearing for probably around a year. Our characters could have met up within that time, so it is very possible.
However, don't know if Gerald "cares" to work on rescuing you. (Well, he probably "does care".. but...) He'd go with what the crew says, and probably would back Fleur if she voiced it (in as distanced of a way as possible, of course).

Ok, so present year is 1241. So since Fleur is 22 she was born in 1219. George is 37 so she was taken aboard a pirate ship at age 25 in 1229 from which she was captured and imprisoned on a government ship. In 1229 Fleur was 10 (Gerald wasn't yet aboard at the tender age of 6), having been aboard the pirate ship for a few years then. She and George only had as much time as it took the government to catch her together on the pirate ship, but they bonded over tech stuff. But that was just a regular pirate ship, not an air ship. Those have only been around the past 8 years or so. And Fleur hasn't seen George in 12 years, probably has no idea what became of her, but would be thrilled to see her familiar face.
Time line given: ☠ 1210: The discovery of kalydium; with no apparent use for the mineral, it is shelved and almost entirely forgotten. ☠ 1233: Airships begin to enter general production; miner labor unions begin to emerge in response to poor work conditions; strike-busters are employed. ☠ 1235: Miners grow increasingly restless; first case of air piracy is documented when the C.S.S. Atlas is stolen; shipments of kalydium begin to disappear, presumably stolen. ☠ 1236: The first observable cases of kalydium contamination are observed when the Atlas attacks C.S.S. Seaboots with apparently supernatural weapons. The government begins forming a militia of volunteers to combat the new threat. ☠ 1240: Evidence surfaces of the government experimenting with kalydium to replicate the results of long-term exposure. The C.S.S. Seaboots is staffed entirely by a kalymagi crew on a strict regimen of kalydium injections.
PRESENT : YEAR 1241 Pirates have begun to emerge across the skies of the world, rallying under the banner of the Atlas. The vessels that have spent longer than several months sitting on their haul of kalydium are beginning to show the early stages of contamination, small signs like auras that will rapidly develop into larger, more deadly abilities. The largest and most notable of these ships is the pirate ship Absolute Bearing, which has been attacking and looting Coalition State ships and ports.
Also, since George was aboard the same ship as Fleur before she was taken prisoner, she must have known people from the Absolute Bearing. She's supposed to have been on with them for a few years. Therefore, she should know Gerald Willington and Rob Roy as well, right? You guys agree?
Yup yup . Rob Roy aka William used to be a midshipman onboard the Absolute Bearing when it flew under Coalition flags , so he's a deserter from the CAF militia . As such , he's been onboard since the ship turned to piracy ( in fact , he participated in the mutiny that turned the ship pirate ) and he's been the master of sail since ( actually he was MS before the mutiny but meh ) So the Bearing has been a pirate ship for almost 5 years ; anyone who's been on it has definitely met Rob c:
Would it help everyone if in the Shipwrights Plaza where all the ships are listed , if I put a date of first flight/first sail so everyone knows how long they've been active ? And for the pirate ships , the date they turned pirate ?

That would be rather sweet, at least in the beginning to wrap your head aorund what your character have experienced and at what age.
Ahh, then they would not have met. George has been a prisoner for a few years, therefore Gerald would have boarded after she was gone.

That is extremely helpful! I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the timeline we have going on here and where everyone was at certain times.
Trance Harper
YES! That would be soooo helpful. IDK if there is already something to this effect, but could each ship have a little bio as well? Like: first set sail, history, was it always a pirate ship, was it converted from sea vessel to airship, who's currently on which ship? If that's too much to ask for, I'm sorry! I know that's a lot of info to gather and conglomerate cat_sweatdrop
