A chapter full of things you need to know for the rp!!!

FUNCTIONS:

Days/chapters/times:
I have decided I will make a chapter for each 'day' that passes in the roleplay. One, because I want to remake and organize the chains, two it will be easier to tell events apart. How fast/slow these 'days' go will be dependent on how many people are on and how much plot we can get into. If you want to know the time of day, just ask and I'll give you the time.

NPC Interactions:
Occasionally I will put a message saying that [Name] has the chance to [insert task] accompanied by a small character description. On special I will actually announce that you will have the chance to do these things to a player character (because I like to prompt drama)!

Tasks include:
Pickpocketing
Robbing (not available to do against PCs)
Fighting (Lol if you want to fight PC go for it)
Helping (again, I mean. If you want to help a PC—)

How will this work?

I will put out a message in this format:
[Name] has the chance to [insert task] to [Character Description/Name]

I will announce the opportunity with the following format:

"[Name] has the chance to [insert task] to [Insert character description]

Do they wish to proceed?

<Yes> or <No>"

You get to pick if your character goes through with it, and I will use a coin flip irl to decide if they are successful, and what they gained (stealing, robbing) or what the consequences are (fighting, helping).

Gaining Coins:
There will be multiple ways to get coins!

Pickpocketing, as mentioned above.

Selling items.

Everyone will get 10 coins when we move to another chapter/day. (This will increase as the chapters go on)

Doing/checking in with 'the chore list'. Gain 5 coins (more about this below).

Finding treasures, which coin count will vary.

The Chore List:
No one will actually be expected to roleplay doing the chores (unless you want to, I guess?) but just putting a '✅' emoji in that chain will gain you 5 coins. (This will increase as the chapters go on).

Bounty Hunters:
Bounty hunters will be a group of NPCs (plus maybe a few player characters) that will be actively trying to trick/catch/chase after certain OCs.

If you OC has someone in their past looking for them (running from a lab for example), Private Message me a few things about them so I can write down Bounty Hunters for them. (Not for people running from the law, that will be less personalized, unless of course they actually have relations with people in the law).

Chains:
I will combine some ship chains into one, to make things less cluttered. We will have: a bottom deck, mid deck, and a top deck, with a listing of what's on that deck.

Rumors:
Occasionally, if your character is in a bar, tavern or otherwise crowed place, they might hear a rumor!

You can have your character react in the roleplay, but please try not to mention what the rumor was outside of the roleplay so everyone can have some suspense!

I will Private Message you these rumors! But I'll also let everyone know when a batch of rumors has been put in place so that you know to check.

Starting with Chapter 2, if you want I can add a rumor about your character to the list! Just private message it to me. If I don't have someone in mind to send it to, I'll let you pick out which character you want to hear it. The person receiving the rumor will not be informed if you purposely sent it or if I picked at random. (One rumor per character for now)

Roles:
The roles will start coming into play!!! Hopefully some people should have a role by Chapter 3 should everything run well.

Roles will come with character/role specific chores and/or possibly character missions, which I hope to introduce soon.

Character Missions:
Missions for characters to go on. Will be either a group or just one character. But I'll most likely give you NPCs to fight on occasion.

Scout Missions, will be different slightly. Most often I'll probably send you a Private Message on what you found, then it will be your choice what info you transfer to the rest of the characters.

Selling/buying:
I will be drawing potions and other things for characters to buy, and you can even attempt to sell stuff for coins.

Pets:
I will also try to draw pets for characters to either find on the streets or at markets/taverns that they can chose wether or not to adopt. Might cost coins.

Findings/Stealing:
Occasionally I'll give you the opportunity to search a space for treasure, or to steal from a shop or fellow crew mate.

Again, I will announce this so people aren't stealing at random and things have a sort of rhyme and reason to it!

~•••~

I have decided to put world building stuff in a chapter of its own! Otherwise enjoy!
