Introduction:
Greetings fair men and women! I, the great Cunning Beast, am enlisting new members to my crew. I’m sure by now many of you have already heard of my many grand exploits through the years. I promise, this one will be the most fun. I am in need of people of all stations, young or old, big or small! Now is your chance to go and a truly legendary adventure.
Captain Poniró Thirío
Basic Plot
The captain is notorious to leading his crew to strange places in search of treasures. Usually, he ends up being justified. This time, however, he has set sail for an island on the outskirts of the Western continent, Plegia. He is tight lipped about what exactly they’re looking for, but he promises it will be well worth it. You and the crew will have to make many stops along the journey to the west, so there will be a lot for you to see and experience on this grand adventure.
Rules
• No god-modding, power-playing, Mary/Gary-Sues etc.
• Please write with generally correct grammar (capitalization, punctuation, no text talk, etc.) and at least 2 paragraphs/8+ sentences minimum per character.
• PG-13 for romance and gore
• Conflicts should be kept between characters. If you have an issue with another user take it up with them through PM or contact me to intervene.
• Cussing is to be starred out (*)
• When not roleplaying, use brackets for OOC. Ex: [ ] ( ) { }, etc.
• Please PM about reserving specific spots.
• If you are interested in the First Mate or Pilot I'd like to work out the history behind the relationship between your character and the captain, so expect a message about that.
• If you’ve read all the rules add a theme song for your character in the others section. Or just post your fav song.

Geography
Eos is realm filled with all the myths and legends you could ever imagine. The sea is plagued with everything from mermaids to demons, and the most treacherous: pirates.
Eos is divided into five main continents. The center continent is inhabited primarily by humans and is often referred to as the “Center of the World”. Here lie the bustling ports and all matters of trade. The very center lies the elaborate palace belonging to King Xander.
To the north there are small colonies of giants and forests of trees that reach high into the sky. This continent is known mostly for its lush green landscapes and diversity of wildlife. Although, most things here tend to be considered abnormally large to humans.
To the east lies the deserts of Iumen. Most of the continent is hot and dry deserts spanning for miles. The main inhabitants are clans of lizard people and races of humans with darker skin. All the ports are fully manned and operated by humans.
The south is a cold expanse of tundra and snow. There’s not much to see here other than the occasional Yeti and penguin. Most who visit here come for the clear starry sky and expanses of northern light.
The west is called the black zone. Here the darkness thrives more than anywhere else. Very few humans have ever dwelled there, and even less return to tell the tale. It is said the whole continent is occupied by vampires and demons from the underworld. The official name is Plegia.
Of course, there are many strange islands scattered on the sea between the continents. Many of these islands have strange treasures, and even stranger tales waiting to be discovered.
Ideals
The humans of Eos are very open and accepting of all genders, races, and orientations. They are, however, still mistrusting of other species. Some more than others. There are no dominating religions in Eos. Most people follow a deity of some sort, the most popular being the Sun Deity, Ray. (Honestly you can align yourself with a deity of anything you'd like if you so choose.)
Appearances
In the realm of Eos there are many peculiar traits among the human race. It is possible to be born with an unusual eye color (gold, silver, red, yellow, etc). The range of skin tones and hair colors are the same as in the real world. As we are only playing humans there's no need to worry about other traits that would be seen in other species.The fashion is a cross between Victorian and steampunk, so feel free to play with your wardrobe using those as guidelines. The technology has not advanced past the industrial era in this world.

My Characters
Name: Simon Hayes
Aliases: Cunning Beast (Poniró Thirío)
Rank: Captain
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Orientation: Pansexual
Appearance: Simon is a tall, lanky character. He stands at a total height of 6'1" when he isn't slouching. He has a lean muscle structure from years of working on a ship and having his fair share of scraps over the years. As a result of the constant fights and explorations he has many scars scattered over his lightly tanned skin. The most notable past injuring being the slight bend/bump in his nose from being broken.
Simon's facial structure is rather heart-shaped. He had a smooth jaw line and high cheekbones. His pale lips are thin, but often pulled into a grin. His eyes are a stormy blue/grey framed by dark lashes and a messy fringe. Simon's hair always looks like he woke up and forgot to comb it. He has dark chestnut brown hair with a long fringe in the front that sweeps to the right. The rest of his mop of hair is messily trimmed to about an inch in length. Luckily he's usually wearing the captains hat.
As for general attire, Simon always wears a plain black captains hat with an assortment of random pins and trinkets on the brim. He wears a white, long sleeved shirt under a dark brown leather vest. His trousers a a matching color in a much lighter and more breathable fabric. His boots are black leather and reach just below his knees. As for other accents he likes to collect anything golden in color. He often carried a different golden pocket watch every month.
Personality: The Simon most people meet is relatively charming and sweet. Simon likes to makes jokes, usually at the expenses of others. His way of talking is rather erratic. Usually he's always following his own trail of thought, telling round about stories to answer simple questions. He never likes to give a direct answer if he can avoid it. It's so much more fun to watch others figure it out themselves. Simon's driving forces are all self-serving. If it's not worth putting up the act or putting in the work, he won't do it. This often reveals his true character: a cunning and manipulative joker.
What makes him a good captain is his dedication and loyalty to anyone who works with him. If he can trust you, he will protect you. Simon is also ruthless when it comes to those who oppose him. He will cut down anyone who stands in his way or threatens his interests without hesitation.

"And when your fantasies
Become your legacy
Promise me a place
In your house of memories"

Name: Chance O'Malley
Aliases: Bullseye
Rank: Old - Master Striker
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance: About 5’11” in height with a strong, muscular build. Very disciplined in maintaining peak form for hunting and trapping. On his right wrist he has a cursive black M tattoo. He has a strong square jawline and rather high cheekbones. As for his other facial features he has an average nose and slightly plusher lips than other men with a defined cupid's bow on his upper lip. His eyes are a dark chocolate brown. The tops of his cheeks and bridge of his nose are smattered with light freckles that pop against his pale skin. His appearance makes him seem much younger.
Chance’s hair appears to be silvery blond. It is often pulled back onto a simple, short ponytail with a cord of leather. When untied it messily falls around his face, coming to about chin length. As for general attire Chance finds great importance in appearances and functionality. He often wears breathable but fashionable clothing.
His general outfit consists of a deep green shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His bottoms are usually dark brown or black and are loose enough to offer full mobility. His boots are military like, going half way up his shin and fully laced. They are also in a dark brown shade.
Personality: Despite what most people may think, Chance is actually a very calm and logical person. What he lacks is patience and trust in others. Chance would rather take on the brunt of the responsibility himself rather than let someone else mess it up. This makes him a rather harsh commander and those working with him are the few people he can trust to do the job right. He bares a strong sense of loyalty towards those he thinks deserve it.
Chance is very sociable and loves to talk and crack jokes with anyone who is willing. He doesn’t discriminate against anyone unless they’ve done something he deems utterly wrong. So really he’s friends with anyone who will spend a couple minutes chatting with him. It is clear by the way he talks that his two loves are the sea and hunting.
History: When Chance was 17 he was already well known for his hunting skills. Mainly because he had been poaching off of wealthy peoples land, as such there was a sizable bounty on his head. Chance had been in the process of fleeing town to head for a new one when he was caught and sentenced to death. The day before his execution a peculiar man came to his cell and made his a proposition. Since that day Chance has been a loyal member to Captain Simon and his crew.

Name: Somnium ("The Dream" in Latin)
Aliases: Alex, Somni, The Dreamer
Rank: Old - Pilot
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Orientation: Pansexual
Appearance: Alex stands at a height of 5'6" with long legs and a shorter torso. She has a slight hourglass figure as a result. Her skin is often tanned, usually sun burnt, and naturally pale. Most of her strength lies in her arms from years of steering, but other than that she's pretty average on the fitness scale.
Alex's hair is inky black and falls down her back in waves. Her hair is all one length and is usually tied back into a high pony tail or braid when she's working. The last thing she needs is to get her hair tangled with the ship's wheel. Alex has bright hazel eyes that shift slightly between the brown and green range. Usually they look more brown then green. She has a scar that cuts through the tail of her right eyebrow. Somni has a soft jawline and very feminine features. With large eyes and thin cupid bowed lips.
Alex's general outfit consists of a pair of knee high black leather boots that fold down at the top. Tight cotton pants in a darker shade and a sleeveless blouse tucked into the high waist of her trousers. On days she feels like covering up the bare shoulders she throws on a dark brown leather jacket. She always has a stud in her left ear and an ornate dangly earring in her other.
Personality: Alex had always been more of the shy and quite type growing up. Her family was very eccentric, hence her name. She was always embarrassed as a kid but as she grew older she began to understand how her name fit her. Alex was always day-dreaming, off in her own world.
Alex is an intelligent girl, but tends to keep her knowledge to herself. She is very fascinated by legends and myths, as well as astronomy. She has a hard time trusting others or getting to know them due to her past, but once she breaks down her walls a little bit she's actually more than happy to chat and share a laugh.
History: When Alex would dream about sailing the sea and visiting all kinds of magical places with faeries and dragons. Of course as she grew older she began to grow out of the idea. She assumed she would spend life living in a small village off the coast for the rest of her life. However, after reading many tales and stories about famous pirates she decided to set out and find one that would let her join their crew so she could fulfill her dream of travelling the sea.
At 19 years old Alex was the newest member of Captain Hayes crew. She started as a crew member swabbing the decks but over the years she diligently made an impression on the captain. After a particularly bad exploit where both the previous second mate, Petra, and the pilot, Vincent, did not return Alex was promoted to the position of the new pilot.

Name: Fay Evans
Aliases: Trigger || Peccatore (Translation in Italian)
Rank: Second mate
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Theme: Natasha Blume - Black Sea
Appearance:
Fay stands at 5’2”, with a bit of an hourglass figure; the small woman has a thin build weighing 92 lbs. and despite her frail form can be very dangerous. She has a soft heart shaped face and full, pink lips- and unlike her parents- her left eye is a brilliant, bright blue while her right is a sparkling emerald green. Her long, naturally curly brown and blonde streaked hair flows down to her waist when she doesn’t put it in a bun. Many can spot her in a crowd either by her eyes, pink freckled nose, the small case of rosacea on her cheeks, or how the left half of her hair is shaved close to her scalp.
To anyone this frail woman would seem as a kind fellow lad among the many sins of the world. For that, they are wrong. Just as her eyes can show warm pools of affection they can be hard as the jagged stones on the black zone’s shore. Fay was raised by her father- fighting fully grown men in her village by the time she was only 15.
She wears a long flowing dress like most women of her village, a white corset on top, and usually has her shoulders and arms cover by her father’s brown sailors jacket. When she isn’t wearing her normal attire Fay will dress comfortably in large, baggy mens cargo pants and a tight tank top. No matter what, she wears long, hugging leather straps across her chest, stomach, and on her thighs. Guns, blades, and other weapons are hidden under these straps to ensure no man sees them.
Personality:
Like Fay’s appear she can be cold hearted and blood thirsty when she wants to be. Apart from that, she is normally very quiet and can shy away from other people without notice, and can be wary of taking a liking to others. Though, once somebody comes close to her they’ll see the kind of spitfire she really is. You average “ride-or-die” kind of person. Her loyalty is strong towards friends and family, and is hard to be broken.
At first meet Fay will either be deathly silent, or show a rare warm smile- which never happens often. After being raised around all of the small villages evil, Evans is still the same breathtaking lad she’d always been. She despises few things. Papercuts, high egos, and when people don’t answer her questions straight.
Fay isn’t much of “feminine” either, growing up as a strong tomboy makes her fit in easily around men. Though she prefers male company as friends Fay doesn’t do most of what they do. She has never drank a day in her life, gotten a tattoo, smoked- as much as she seems one who would like these things, she’ll leave to the sidelines once she sees any of these things. Even with her personality, Evans is still extremely naive when it comes to situations like this- and men.
History:
Fay was raised in a small back town where women belong in kitchens or raising the children. Her father didn’t like the idea of having a daughter so instead of sending her off to a nearby, posh village he raised her as the other men raised their sons. She was a born fighter, her hooks and jabs some of the fastest among the other men. After she turned 15, she was beating every male in the small town, and ventured else where.
Fay’s father sent her to the black zone at this point. None know of her trip there- or how she got back- always telling people she knows nothing of the darkened island of sin. Nobody knows the past of the dog that walks with her either, only knowing of the crimes they've committed together.
Other:
A large Hell Hound follows Fay wherever she goes. It’s distinctively long devil-like ears, blind white eyes, and muscle mass show it apart from other canines, always at the small girl’s side

Name: Fiona Evans
Aliases: Volpe
Rank: Striker
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bisexual
Appearance:
Fiona’s innocent appear can fool many, as innocent as she is, she is just as sly. A fox as most call her. The woman stands directly on the 5 foot mark with a slim hourglass figure, enficizing her hips and bust making her seem more feminine. Fiona’s face is a soft heart-like shape, her light skin sporting no identifying or distinct marks making it easier for her to hide from unsuspecting on goers. Her left eye remains a dazzling green like her sister’s, and her right is an alluring purple- making it hard for people to question Fiona’s relation to her younger sister, Fay.
The short woman’s long black hair reaches the bottom of her back even when in a bun, for this she is easy to find. The dark unkempt curls are usually up in a bun, but still able to let her silky hair down her back. Fiona’s usual apparel includes either a skin tight tank top, or sports bra paired with either baggy pants or lightweight leather shorts. Fiona also sports two leather straps across her waist holding two small silver blades, with small intricate designs on their handles and a large katana looking sword attached to her side with the same kind of intricate designs on it’s handle.
Personality:
Unlike her younger sister, Fiona is far from naive, the woman knows the ways and advances of people wanting to get close. Her shy attitude sometimes makes her weave away from other people, and makes the people close to her laugh at how weird she can certainly be. Many say Fiona isn’t good with people. This is true. Nobody can expect someone who grew up the way she did to just instantly like the life she was born to hate. Fiona is better with animal’s than other human beings for the simple fact no matter what happens- what’s been said and done- a companion will always stay your loyal companion.
The handful of people Fiona has taken a liking to, can see her strong loyalty, warm heart, and gentle touch- things many others may never see in their entire lives. She rarely snickers or boasts unless she’s being playful with friends or family, and acts for from the “insanity” people claim she has.
History:
Fiona was raised by the women of the small village surrounded by crime, taught to care for large wounds and deathly injuries. From the time she turned 12, small Fiona began to use white henna ink to make distinctive marks on her shoulders, hands, feet, and arms. By the time she turned 15 the short woman was able to effectively cure and care for many different types of wounds better than most doctors.
At this time, animals from the woods had begun to flee into the old townhouses of the village for safety from the many hunters. During this time Fiona was told to search the townhouses and drive out these woodland creatures, only to find a small fox kit. Not having the heart to leave the small blind kit the short woman took it in despite.
Other:
Fiona owns an adult red fox sporting small white speckles on it’s forehead, and a large scar moving along the underside of the animal. The fox stands at 1.7 feet from the ground and- like Fay’s companion- can track animal scent trails with ease, and find useful herbs effectively.
