Looking to start a new crew

[Deleted]

Hey there, I guess I'll get straight down to business here.

I'm hoping to begin a new crew, who will likely go by the title of World Eater Pirates, or the World Eater Pirates, whatever one gets the gist. The basic crew premise is your typical pirate-y pirates, or on BV perhaps not so typical. That is to say they will be a fairly unruly bunch, put mildly. The aim will be to conquer territory and generally acquire riches, power and status as we push on deeper toward and then into the New World - where the conquest will ultimately be launched.

So there is a kind of greed to this crew, the character I've made to take the role of Captain can be [Found Here] for those interested.

However a suitable overview is that he, Ashmir, is from a fairly barbaric, nomadic culture and so war is very much a part of his upbringing. Living life in the shadow of his elder brother, he eventually takes off in search of greener pastures to pillage. Ultimately he's very ambitious and concerned about leaving behind an impressive legacy. He wants to be a kind of 'hero' but a war hero, a conqueror.

As such the crew will be fairly nasty at times, but I wouldn't assert evil. Ashmir is a raucous but ultimately in friendly circumstance fun-loving, nice kind of guy. The crew's atmosphere I can't predict entirely, but it's likely to be a combination of normal crew goofiness and a more serious and bad-guy like vibe. Maybe made lighter with a type of dark humour. Basically I feel the type of character's I'm looking for are the more complex morally grey, the more evil, and the greedy/self serving types. That said, with a maybe honour among thieves - willing to be an actual crew kinda thing going on.

Oh yes, and the crew is to be very small - I want it to be highly active and ambitious both IC and within the forum, making a name for itself. I envisage maybe about four people being about the size I want the crew to be. I don't mean to sound elitist but I'm looking for people who write pretty well and to a decent length, you know consistently toward the thousand thresh-hold, over five hundred words for sure - flexibility always on this, because of personal style yada-yada. I think first and foremost I'm just looking for a partner, build this thing up slowly from grass routes. So each new member gets a significant chunk of attention when they arrive.

Due to the conquering nature, it is possible that it will turn into an armada style thing, if it gets up and running and all goes well. The crew could be filled out with NPC's, (an idea I credit to Char, don't wanna' look too much like I'm stealing) and so the people in the crew, at least a few of them should maybe enjoy NPCing, help flesh out a crew if things did go that way. Possibly even having an OC led second division if things really got away from me.

Anyway at first, I basically just want to see if there's an interest and start it from there. Whilst I've said a few things I'd maybe like to see, it would of course evolve naturally from the interaction of two character's and so things may be very different to how I envisage them and I am open to new ideas. That's about all - thanks.

This sounds like a lot of fun to me, we've never really had True pirates on BV and it would a fun twist to the norm. I have a character in the works that i was originally going to have go solo, but this seems much more his alley. If you think i'm eligible then i'd be glad to join you in the success of your new crew Taro.

I like the idea as I've said before. So I would like to contribute at least something to it.

Seeing as how this is still in the testing stage though, I would just like to present an idea: I would like to have Rikaru Kagezaki be the villain for your first recruiting thread once he is approved.

what's the status on this? IS this idea/crew still moving forward?

[dantetakai]

I have no muse for my character in the crew. im sorry, but im gunna have to drop out.

Edit: wrong crew >_<;;;

[Aubs]

I would be interested in this, and would be willing to make a character, as i do not have one that fits just right. Also, on a completely different not I'd like to add that I have a crew with a large amount of NPCs, and am also in a crew with Char and his many NPCs. I will just say that the idea is an excellent one and leads to many good story devices.

I like this idea, keep me posted if you need a player.

HMMMMMM.

Hello there.
If possible I would not mind joining either. I'm willing to put in time and post regularly, I've got a character that can fit in, as in one who does not mind conquering or being outright nasty, to a limit at least.
Word limit is not a problem either, with a decent post to respond to I can clock out 700+ words easy.

So if you remain interested and don't mind me joining then please keep me posted ^^

Alright, damn. I've made a mess of this really - it appears as a Captain I'm going to the sporadic/unrespected type, much the same as I was a moderator. Haha, but no I've got a lot of enthusiasm for this and will put the effort into plotting properly and whilst taking a leading role, am open to anyone who wants to take lead on a thread, even alternating if there's a lot of enthusiasm for that.

However first, me being a jerk. I've organised this poorly, there was a lot more response than I imagined, some PCs, some here and basically I've gone with who has shown the most interest and started conceptualising already. I can't help but feel bad, I have not done this first come first serve or even very well - in ideal circumstance I'd take on more people but I am adamant on the four people, and possibly in the distant future five. This is from lessons I've learnt being on the site a while, especially from my time in the HH's, I can't manage a big crew and frankly don't want to.

So as for now; it's Aubs, Moshi and Raab who have expressed the most detailed interests and whom I've had a desire to Roleplay with for a while. This does not reflect on anyone else, I'm really apologetic to leading anyone on - but ultimately I'm wanting to build a crew with people who seem keenest and on the same page.

I would note however, there is certainly a lot of potential for new crews by the response this did garner, I would encourage you to postulate your own concepts and perhaps form other groups, especially if your RP is currently sparse... because there is a demand there. Again I'm sorry, but that's what I've done. >,<"
