Chatterbox: Inkwell

Ahoy there! Welcome aboard the Gloaming! She’s a fine ship, ain’t she? Top of the line, seventy feet long. And this is just above decks— wait until you see what’s under your feet! That’s when you’ll really be amazed.

Anyway, moving along. My name is Captain Adhara, though you’ll be calling me The Captain if you wish to keep your job here. You will be joining us aboard, won’t you? Good, good, very good. Now, I’m afraid we have but limited slots open: twelve in total, plus me. Aye, I know what you’re thinking. “Why, thirteen? Is that not an unlucky number?” Perhaps to you weak-minded, jiggly-legged land-dwellers, but to us masters of the sea, we embrace the unexpected and the inauspicious. So yes, thirteen. 

Sign your name here, won’t you? Then, please fill out the rest of our little form— or we’ll have to throw you to the sharks! Aye, just kidding. You needn’t be so uptight. We’re a fun loving crew, here, and you’ll want to loosen up a bit. 

Right, right, the form. I’m losing my train of thought. I believe I put it— ah yes, here it is! 

Name: 

Pronouns:

Sexuality:

Personality:

Rank: 

Inventory: (up to three items)

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

And that’ll be all. Welcome to the Gloaming! We’ll go over your duties in more detail once everyone gets here. 

[[ Hi, it’s me. The host of this roleplay. If you see words in [[ ]] brackets, that’s me talking, not the Captain. Anyway, please fill out the form not with your CBer appearance, but your character. That’s the only confusing thing I can think of off the top of my head, but feel free to ask questions if you aren’t certain! Also, sorry if formatting is a bit wonky-- I copy-and-pasted this from a Google doc. ]]

I love a good pirate anything! 

Name: Wyatt Hemlock (He can be reffered to as Doc or Wy by anyone he doesn't really care)

Pronouns: he/they

Sexuality: pansexual

Appearance: White button up blousy thing, a brown corset, pirate pants? (I don't know what they really wear), he wears gold hoop earrings, has brown pirate boots, he is about 5'7", (a short lil pirate), has dirty blond hair that is kind of grown out a bit, they also have freckles from being out in the sun, he looks very young, and if they wants to, they have a pirate hat to wear but they don't normally. 

Personality: he can get very focused on his work, not easily distracted but he can get so fixated that he doesn't do anything else (like eat sleep, talk etc.). He will always finish what he starts, he has to make sure everyone is okay and will take care of anyone he can. They hate it when people question them becuase they are kind of young. He is incredibly smart, not very good at social things but he loves the crew and they are his family for life.

Rank: ship doctor

Inventory: (up to three items) medicine, poison satchel (DO NOT TOUCH), and daggers (They're named Blink, Wink, and Ink). Because what's a pirate without a weapon?

Strengths: physical strength, a strange fasination and a lot of knowledge with poisons, good with a dagger, and extremely high pain tolerance

Weaknesses: not very strong and can be easily overpowered if caught off guard, very prideful, has to be right

Sorry, theee daggers wouldn't be allowed. Two daggers could be a set, one dagger would be all right as well, but you only have two hands so three daggers would be separate items.

alrighty then, Wink and Blink it is. Also i saw in your other post that you would assign the ranks but is it okay for Wyatt to be the doctor? if not then i will probably make some changes so whatever you would like!

Pronouns: she/her

Sexuality: she has no idea 

Appearance: downright terrifying.  she's six feet tall, has actual red eyes, her TEETH are sharp for some reason, and she has wild, untamed brown hair.  she wears a utility belt with a pocketknife, money and snacks in it, a cloak with a hood that ALSO serves as a cape and leather boots.

Rank: what?  uh... the highest one she can get her hands on.

Inventory: (up to three items) uh... her utility belt items and cloak!  also a notebook if that's allowed.

Strengths: false confidence

Weaknesses: not much real confidence and no strength or other skills

Did my post not go through?  

It's under consideration, Sterling. We're still waiting to hear from one or two editors. I apologize for the delay.

We need to discuss. I'll try to hurry the other editors along.

By sexuality being female, do you mean that she is lesbian? (Female liking female?)

As for rank, since there is already a second in command, she can be head of weaponry!
