Buried at Sea (OOC & IC)

[HazardJackal]

BURIED AT SEA:

THE STORY: Soo, I’d do a nice story-style intro and crap, but this RP is not going to be the most polished thing in the world.  Here’s the lowdown; Cobius wanted to explore, his (friend?) Desmos said he’d fund the expedition.  Then they threw together a few others (Syn, “Dirt”, Rem) hired some soldiers for protection (lead by Mynyah) and threw themselves onto Captain Seyla’s ship.  We start at the port.

THIS IS A 1 x 1 x 1 (+1?) RP!  I will not be adding in any players other than the ones I have already selected. (You know who you are, so get to it!) If a player no longer has any playable characters, they will be out of the RP until its completion. We start with set number of characters; new characters cannot be added once this RP is started, due to the nature of the plot.  With that in mind, play your damn cards right.
_________________________________________________

Here are the specs on the ship and the characters and crap.

For the ship, imagine this, but shrink it down to about a 50 person crew.
This is the uniform of the crew, the engineers have the standard white uniform that most grunts would normally be given.
And this is more or less the look of the soldiers, similar, but more ornate.
They are armed with the following:  1  2
Everyone on the ship has been issued a simple knife.
_________________________________________________

You may add one character of your own, no more.  If you are playing, it is mandatory that you select AT LEAST 5 characters out of the list; once you select your characters, they will be YOUR characters, and you will have full claim to them from then on, both within and outside of this RP.  The following character numbers are not selectable, and will be played by me definitively: 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, and 25.

I guess i'll fill this in as I get time.

[HazardJackal]

Don't forget, you can play numbers 1 2 3 6 7 and 9 as well.  They are more like main characters than the others, because of their roles in the expedition.  Of course, the real main characters will be determined by who does and doesn't die...

[Furenzied]

Oh my god...I'll need a computer to start this...

[HazardJackal]

Oh my god...I'll need a computer to start this...

If you need to you could play as just one or two characters.

[Furenzied]

I'll have to, I can't save any files to work on later.

[HazardJackal]

I switched out Syn with Marcen.  I forgot to take a few important factors into account, so Syn wouldn't be able to be part of the crew.

[Furenzied]

I'm thinking  of playing 3, 14, and 39...

[HazardJackal]

That would be good.  Cobius needs a new owner anyway...

[Furenzied]

Why?

[HazardJackal]

I never really understood what he was supposed to be, or how i was supposed to play him.

[Furenzied]

*googles*...

Oh...some kind of mix of small anteater, racoon, squirrel thingy...

(Posting here for now so I can add on to it later.)

[HazardJackal]

Since i obviously misunderestimated how much thought would be required to fill out the characters, i will be placing this one on hold for awhile.  I made a promise for ADOTF almost half a year ago, and i don't plan on breaking it.  As things stand, i can't handle more than two RPs at once, and i'm in over my head with Kings and Queens.  If you guys wish to finish filling out your cards that's perfectly fine. (In fact i encourage it.)

This is not a cancellation, just a delay, i promise.

EDIT: Actually, i probably will cancel this, because it seems to be too boring for anyone to remember.  I'll give it a month or two.

EDIT EDIT: On hold.  Deal with it.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: No really, should i just axe this or not?  I'm legitimately considering withdrawing ALL of my RPs, and just tagging on to yours like the remorous scumbag i am.
