Hi Everyone,
If you have been following the demon lord series this will be book 3 in that series. The first book “heroes come in all shapes and sizes” and the second book “Tigran revenge” can be read for background but are not required for this thread. This story will start about 6-8 month before those stories in a complete different part of the world.
This will be a water and air based adventure. Some of the characters will start on a pirate ship, recently acquired when they mutinied against the evil captain. WARNING, Lots of rogue-like characters in this thread, so secure your valuables before joining or they might get pinched. The characters on the ship decide to continue to be pirate. “Free captains” is the local slang term. They will have regular pirate like adventures (capture of ships … romance … treasure maps, etc) … but more and more "water demons" will start to show up. In the end they will find/stumble upon a plot by the demon lords to kill off all the life in the sea, thus eventually killing off all life on the planet. Pirates or not, the characters stop the plot and kick some demon butt.
Less big battles in this story … more sea combat and small unit operations … that kind of stuff. I’d like to add an air element as well. Maybe a fallen “angel” character, fly draconians, or humans riding griffins, etc. Adding some air to air combat as well.
This will be a long term fantasy story. So I need committed partners. Please don’t sign up if you will not keep posting!
Please post your character profiles here. Outline the following items …
- Basic personality (joyful, angry, anxious, curious, etc)
- Some background (family, profession, mystery, conflict, or significant past event)
- Defect to overcome (trusting people, panic attacks, hates one of the other character’s race/species/gender, etc)
I’ll provide my character write up as a guide (see the characters listed below).
There will be sex mixed into all the adventure parts. I know of two required sex scenes already. But I’m shooting for a pretty complete story. So the sex parts needs to flow with the story. Anyone interested please add a post to this OOC thread or PM me.
Thanks!
Race types
Any race you want to be is ok. Remember however, they will be at sea or on high mountain peaks. So if you pick a race that can’t swim … you might flounder … get it? (Puns … the lowest form of humor … and will be part of this thread (this is your last warning)!)
Pirate and Shipboard jargon. The two links below will help with the jargon if this is a weak area for you. I’m pretty bad at it. So this will be a labor of love, and please forgive my failings.

Some background on the area, legends and famous pirates.
(FYI I’m using “raiders of the fever sea” as source material)
The Shackles: A maze of isles and reefs filled with no-gooders, monsters, and treasure. It is topical (i.e. think Caribbean)
The Deathknell: a haunted ghost ship. Captained by the terrible Whalebone Pilk. The ship sails the Fever sea searching for ships to attack and feed to his ever hungry crew.
Captain Wolfe’s Treasure Trove: An old sea dog’s legend of a lost treasure … worth millions of gold pieces. Hidden and protected by a demonic fiend, the captain brought up from hell with black magic.
Tidewater Rock: a strategic keep located on the western shore of the windward isles. The keep has had multiple rulers … but one thing they all have in common is that they became rich. The legend goes that anyone who can “crack the rock” will become rich.
Butcher’s Rock: home of Cyclopes.
Port Peril, Bloodcove and Stillsquall are the major towns in the area.
Rumored Treasure is marked in big X on the map as well.
The Ship (presently named Orchid of the Sea): She is a large shallow draft vessel, coppered on the sides, with a brass plated bow. A merchant ship … but to the nautical eye, one can detect she is a fast ship. Her lines have beautiful runs; her decks are flush and level; Her brass molding is bright as burnished gold on her very sharp bow. She has only two ballistas on the forecastle. A single mast ship with a large square sail, her rigging is beautifully fitted, every rope lying in position ready for use. The pic is what the ship will look like once she has gone through a retrofit (slang term is squibbing).
(Note: Cannons are very rare. At this point, the ship has none)
“Red” Isabelle:
- Basic personality: She is confident and knows LOTS pirate tricks. This confidence can be called … daring … or epic stupidity. She has the attitude that nothing is too hard or impossible. After you get past the over confidence … she is basically a good person. She keeps her word unless someone has broken theirs … then she will double cross them.
- Some background: Isabelle’s childhood was taken away from her at the early age of 14. She was playing at the bench at Lentel Hold when she was abducted by a band of slavers out of Fangport. Her master was 1st mate Curtis 'Grim Reaper' Salvodor or “Grim” for short. Grim was cruel to her … but grew fond of her as can happen. You’ll find out what happened to Grim in my first post.
- Defect to overcome: Isabelle has been around men most of her life and knows how to manipulate them. She needs to learn to love men not use them.
Side note: The “shock” lizard on Isabelle’s shoulder is her pet. She found him one day near death. Overtaken by a sense of pity, she ignored the pirates that told her to “let it die” she nursed him back to health. Through training Lennix (the little guy’s name) can follow simple commands.
Jura:
- Basic personality: This creature is at war with itself. A product of a black dragon that raped a female minotaur. Jura is trying to decide if he will be an evil creature or a good creature. He is more gentle than his appearance, but turns into The Hulk if pissed off.
- Some background: Jura has been search for the black dragon that raped his mother (i.e. his father). He wishes to kill the bastard. However, during the search he was taken by the pirates.
- Defect to overcome: Jura is fighting all sorts of internal demons. He will be asking the crew questions about right and wrong. How to decide what to do when … and why. Hopefully someone on board will be his teacher.
Nya
- Basic personality: This creature is highly curious and inquisitive of anything. Think scientist with eight large tentacles (tentacles … NOT testicles! Get that straight). She has a workhorse attitude, she’ll do want she is told. No worries about her taking over the ship … she has no interest in command. She also has very little interest in the treasure except if it is a book or ancient relic. She looks at treasure hunting as a puzzle to solve. She is very honest for a pirate. She has made friends with Isabelle.
- Some background: Nya was born into a large wealthy family in the underwater capital city of the Cecaelia (half human/half octopus people). She lived without worry until she was about 18 years old, got straight “A”s in all her classes.
She decided she wanted to learn more … and started to travel the world. She landed with the pirate crew by accident. They recognized her abilities and put her to work right away. 2 hands, 8 tentacles, and only one mouth to feed!
- Defect to overcome: She is currently learning how to reach full potential. She feels there's more to life. She is trying to find what it is she is missing. (FYI she is pretty much asexual (not interested in sex) as her writer I have no clue where her critical body parts are … so let’s just not go there)
