@Mewtwo2

Quote from Rules1. This is a semi-lit roleplay. I expect at least a paragraph per post, around 3-5 sentences minimum. If I am unsure about your RP ability, I reserve the right to request an RP sample

This is the most important rule of the RP, especially if you wish to play as a 3rd year I need to have proof that you have the ability to write more than a few sentences in a post. Until you can prove that you can abide by the above rule, Rejected. If you wish to try again, please turn your attention to the other forms on this thread to get an example of the quality that I am looking for in your forms.

Again, please PM me a sample of a semi-lit RP so that I can get an idea of your writing style and abilities. If you are unsure how to do that, you can access my profile page and find the contacts panel, "Send a Private Message" is the first link on it.

@Mewtwo2
On basis of being unable to demonstrate Rule 1 through your form, the failure to adequately fill out your form (chiefly the name, appearance, personality, and fears section), and no visible prior experience roleplaying on Pokeheroes that can attest to your ability to roleplay in the semi-lit format, I will have to reject your form.

If you can rectify the above points by fixing your form and sending me a PM of a semi-lit RP sample, I will re-consider your rejection

xxxThe reaping was almost boring, the predictability of it all dragging anything that could have been interesting into the mud of monotony. The same beats that happened every other year happened again, the national anthem, the gore-fest that followed it as if the citizens wouldn't remember each game, the click of ridiculously expensive heels as names were drawn. The female tribute didn't seem anything special, just another girl who was unlucky enough to be arbitrarily drawn from a rigged system. Another lamb sent to be groomed for slaughter. Just the same as it was last year.

xxxWhen it came for the boys turn, a non-academy named was called and a boy who looked scared out of his mind was pushed out by the crowds. He didn't seem like a fighter at all, just a regular kid who was 18 like him who had been so hopeful to dodge the draft but was now dragged towards the stage. Viorel meet the tributes eyes, the wide eye fright that filled it and betrayal. It was as if the other was screaming at him to volunteer, for anyone to do anything. It was kind of funny actually, watching everyone turn their heads to avoid looking at the poor sod who would be getting his butt shipped off to the arena. Fate was just cruel sometimes, he thought to himself with a humourless chuckle.

xxxBut alas, there were rules and appearances to keep and before the reaped could set a foot on the stage, Viorel put up a hand. "I'm volunteering~ It was a nice show and all, but lets be honest. That poor lad wouldn't probably trip off the starting podium and blow himself up." Hiding a mean-spirited laugh behind his hand, Viorel climbed the stares to push the other boy off to the side. "Viorel Dalca, if you please." Even the brief break from the script wasn't enough to deviate the soul numbing drivel into something mildly bearable, Viorel had to remind himself that it would only get more interesting from here on out. Tipping his head back obediently, the tight click of metal encasing his throat brought with it no change only grounding him in this boring reality as metal pressed against his back demanding his compliance. As he was herded towards the train to take him towards the capital, Viorel caught sight of cheery blossom pink the sleepy eyes as one shaky finger pointed directly at him a soundless laugh accompanying it as the other pale hand wrapped around bloody bandages. Pausing for only a split second, Viorel could feel his lips stretch out into a leer that threatened to split his face in half.

xxxReliable Shiki, never disappointing him even in the end.

xxxFlicking his hands in some semblance of a wave, Viorel bid his classmate goodbye, stepping onto the train that would take him to the end.

xxxIbaraki watched as the girl who has originally been chosen be dragged away, an older, though not by much, girl taking her place. That was nice, came the idle thought, that someone cared enough to take their place. It seemed like a bad thing, to be picked. Ibaraki woudn't know, bad memory latching on with a vengeance as anything beyond the fields where each day passed in a blur of pain and work melted away under the bleeding sun. Part of the powers that ate away at a weakly beating heart, Dad had said. Ma was the same. Apparently.

xxxChewing on chapped lips, Ibaraki watched as the lady dressed in all sorts of colors and patters that almost hurt to look at pulled a piece of paper out of another bowl. There really were a lot of clothes that Ibaraki simply didn't know as hazy eyes watched white fingers pull the paper open and the lady read out the name in a nice, pretty, and clear voice.

xxxOh, that was him.

xxxWriggling out of the mess of people squishing the small child on all sides, Ibaraki scurried to the stairs, taking a bit of time to get up them as short gasping breaths cut off each step up. While hard work and manual labour was a well worn friend, so was exhaustion of any kind, only a few steps winding the poor child. Making it onto the stage, Ibaraki made sure to bow towards the other tribute before taking point beside her.

xxxA few more words were spoken, something that Ibaraki couldn't quite follow before strong hands led the child away from the crowds. Panic ran through the small body as Ibaraki wriggled to get free of the multiple people that herded Ibaraki towards some sort of large metal snake, golden eyes darting around to find any opening to return back to Dad if possible. But no such opportunity presented itself as Ibaraki along with the other girl were wrestled into metal collars, Ibaraki's large enough to act almost like a necklace. Clearly they weren't expecting such a thin kid to be reaped. But even that thought wasn't given any time to be processed as Ibaraki was thrown into the belly of the snake and left alone, leaving the poor child reeling in an deeply unfamiliar environment.

xxxGlancing around with fear drawn in every motion, Ibaraki coughed weakly, rubbing at burning shoulders that could still feel the imprints of corralling hands. Nothing looked remotely familiar, nothing like the endless fields of golden wheat that had once defined Ibaraki's life. Instead clashes of colours that seemed so foreign melded together with structures that Ibaraki couldn't even name.

xxxThis was just too much

xxxScrambling up, bare feet sliding against the slick tiling, Ibaraki darted into the closest room available and locked the door shut with heaving gasps. Glancing wildly around, it seemed even more frightening with the enclosed space and multiple white structures littered around the area almost randomly. There was one that looked like a bowl that was attached to a long sturdy stem, another that looked almost identical to the second if not for the extra square behind the bowl, and one that looked like one of the bigger long boxes used for holding gourdes and other large produce. It was all so foreign but Ibaraki took refuge in the one semi-familiar thing and crawled into the bathtub to hide away from the sudden foreign world that the child had been thrust into.

It was a nice normal day, where the citizens of Rakua went about their lives without a care in the world. The sky was shining with the perfect amount of stars, light pollution nothing but a words as the clear sky shone through its eternal nightly backdrop. The moon shone with the perfect amount of light, guiding travellers and citizens alike as the lack of clouds meant a clear view of the moonlit paths that glowed under its touch. Nothing was out of place as residents moved through the city at a leisurely pace. Bartering and sales went smoothly while professors set up their lectures for the coming influx of students soon to come. Even in the Institute of Infinity, everything was running as normal with work flowing smoothly between the members of the council.

A loud bang shattered the peace as Pyry, illustrious student council and figurehead of the city, kicked down the perfectly serviceable door to his office, a deranged laugh following him as he waved around a stack of papers positively drenched in ink. "To whoever drained our funds on gacha games of all things, I'm so going to find you and murder you twice over." He cackled, musing up his already bedraggled hair. Another fit of maniacal laughter followed as he stumbled into the wall. "13M gone. Just like that. Whoever did this is so gonna get it, I swear once I get my hands on you!" Adjusting his askew sunglasses, Pyry squinted at the crumpled up ledgers as the letters swam under his shaky vision to see who exactly decided that the most important thing to fund in their city was a gambling addiction. But when the name of the previous secretary treasurer stared back at him, he let out another groan and slumped against the only thing that supported him in the long long years since he had risen to presidency, the good old pristine walls of the institute.

While he was so glad that he had more or less overhauled the previous council and placed much more competent people in their stead, sometimes Pyry still dug up old records that detailed exactly how negligent his predecessor had been. And there was still the matter of the two empty seats that mocked him, the absence of a better secretary treasurer the hardest blow of them all. Pyry was not cut out for finances. "One of these days, I'm gonna take up alcoholism as a hobby." He bemoaned to the empty hallway.

All in all, a regular day in Rakua City

†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†

Locking the door to an empty house behind her, Kai let out a breath and adjusted her bag conscientiously. Rakua city was still big and frightening for him, still unused to the winding paths that labyrinthed through the residential area. The main plaza wasn't any better with the filled streets swelling and ebbing like a swollen river, the foot traffic frightening to he who had only lived in small towns up till now. But still, she had school to go to. He wasn't too thrilled about that, but according to the stories, Rakua Community College was actually pretty good despite its designation and offered a varied course selection. Kai wasn't too sure what she wanted to take, but she was holding out the hope that it would at least be nicer than her old high school.

Shuddering at that reminder, Kai hiked his bag up higher on his shoulder and set off towards the main plaza. If she wanted to make it to class on time, well she better start walking.

...

Wait, was he supposed to take a right here or three blocks down?

Sign Ups

The following is an excerpt from A Beginners Guide to Rakua City, a pamphlet given to each new resident when they arrive at the city, along with a Student Handbook, and keys to their new house among other things.

Welcome to Rakua City, a place that never sleeps where everything that you could want or need is at your fingertips. Newcomers may be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things to see let alone do so let this handy dandy beginners guide to Rakua City help you figure our your bearings!

First! You fill find all the laws and regulations in your trusty Student Handbook but the most important is obviously Rule 1! Go to School! Its non-negotiable and you have already been enrolled so no need to go through all the hard stuff like you would in other cities. As long as you keep up with school work and make an effort to attend class that is all we at Rakua City can ask for!

If you ever need help making friends, fear not, our school roster is here to make sure that you know the names of every single student! You might just be lucky enough to share a class with our illustrious Student Council who keeps this amazing city running!

Second! Where are allllllll the hip places to be? Well that might be different to each person but never fear, our handy map will get you started on your own search for the perfect cafe or hangout spot!

Map

Show hidden content

Main Plaza
The main hub of the city, it lies in the centre and acts as it heart. All four schools connect to the plaza.

Fountain - A perfect marble fountain where the water always runs crystal clear. Plants and benches are scattered around the main landmark of the city
Stores - A choice selection of stores circle the fountain, the main life of the plaza. From restaurants to boutiques, there's a store for everyone that can be found in the Plaza
Library - the main city library can be found in the plaza. All students can loan books and other resources here.
Residential Area - Above the stores, there is an option for students to live in the idyllic apartments that overlook the heart of the city
Hospital - Located closest to the west, it rarely sees any usage because of the low rate of illness and injuries that Rakua City sports yet has some of the best technology available. Of course horror stories and urban legends exist that surrounds the building but overall its nothing but the ideal hospital

North Campus
Officially known as Rakua Community College, the North Campus is bare none the largest of all the campuses in the city. It accepts students of all ages into its institution.

Courtyard - The courtyard is a large green space that students can grow personal projects on if they so wish. It is carefully maintained by the Student Council and has easily accessible footpaths into the nearby forest.
Main Campus - Filled with Classrooms for the 1st and 2nd Years, it is a place where anything can be taught. Home Ec., Shop, Labs, everything that can be taught is offered and there is a room specifically for that, all located within the various buildings that form the campus.
Side Campus - Specifically hosting 3rd Year courses, this side campus also holds the club rooms for the various clubs that the community college funds
Dorms - Students who don't have a residence in the City proper are offered free room and board on Campus grounds where a complementary breakfast and room cleaning service is offered for everyone
Gym - Behind the school is a gym outfitted for every sport conceivable. From winter sports arenas, wide open atriums for competitions, olympic sized swim areas, everything that one would use is available with enough space for the student body to play with

East Campus
Rakua High School is located just a stones throw away from the main city centre, accepting students from the ages of 12 to 18.

Community Gardens - East Campus boasts the largest community garden in the city, with enough plots of land for it to be classified as farm land. There, sutdents can personally grow things though the land is owned by the city and thus is used for food production on a small scale
School Building - A three story building where the first and second floor are dedeicated to first year classes and the third floor to second and third year courses. It is quite large, but still isn't as large as the college campuses
Dorms - For those who want a taste of independent living, students have a choice to live on campus with complementry breakfast, cleaning services, as well as a weekly option for chores to be done by hired hands.

South Campus
Rakua Childcare Centre is located on the south of the city, with Rakua Elementary as its neighbour. Individually, both facilities are quite small but do take up the second most square footage due to the sheer amount of outdoor facilities

Playground - The entirety of the Campus is in essence, one large play area. A large retractable umbrella serves as its focal point with classroom materials scattered about with plenty of play items to be found
Aquarium - Connecting to the residential area, the Aquarium holds all sorts of animals, even ones that you have never seen before. And its always expanding, its displays different each time you visit

Residential Accommodations
To the west of the Main Plaza is an area dedicated to housing and other such amenities. From townhouses, lane-way houses, apartments, and condos to mansions and other such delights, there is no shortage of accommodations for families of all sizes

Institute of Infinity
Located within the forest by North Campus, this is effectively the political centre for the city, where all the big decisions are made. This is the one part of the city that can not be directly accessible through the Main Plaza

Student Council Office - On the first floor, behind grand mahogany double doors, lies the Student Council Office. It is where the Council will audit any complaints, recommendations, and concerns that the community has.
Office Spaces - Scattered around the first floor are the various offices of each Student Council Member, a personalized space for each of them to work in
Communal Break Room - Somewhere in the Institute, it is rumoured that there is a break room and in that room holds a cupboard that will never empty of delicious sweets. I wonder if that's true
Archives - The entirety of the second to fourth floor is the Institute Archives, kept by the Secretary and the President. No one else has the keys but them, not even the Vice-President
Fifth Floor - A floor only accessible to the President. No one really knows whats kept there
Roof - There's a rumour floating around that at midnight, if you enter the Institute, a sixth floor will appear where the roof is. On the contrary, there is another rumour that at midnight, above the trees, one can see a lone figure standing on top of the roof before falling off of it only to disappear before it even hits the ground.

Nature Points
Located on a unique natural collision of three different biomes, Rakua City has many natural wonders to offer

Grand Forest - The forest lies flush against the city, enveloping parts of it in its lush deciduous trees. Wildlife has long since adapted to living with other humans and are quite friendly with a wide range of flora to be found growing within. Clear trails have been marked out and wandering off them is discouraged but even if you do, you'll soon find a trail anyways.
Sailors Wharf- The westernmost side of the Residential Accommodations lie a flight of stairs that leads down to a beach. This beach offers various amenities such as a swimming area, boardwalk, and boat rentals. Every morning, there is a fisherman's market that occurs, selling high quality fish caught of Rakua's coast. The high variety of fish seems almost impossible but the presence of the market speaks otherwise.
Mountain Trails - On the East lies a gorgeous mountain range that protects the city from harsh weather, keeping everything mild. Trails of all types ranging from simple walks to challenging hikes litter the mountains, offering spectacular views and a chance for citizens to see the great outdoors

Of course these are only the major landmarks! Feel free to explore the glorious city and find out for yourself the wonders that Rakua City offers!
[MORE TO BE ADDED AS THEY'RE FOUND IN RP]

Of course, there is much to be found in this utopian paradise! But first, as is the rule of our city, it is time to go to school!

Live out your youthful lives and remember, your mission is as always, to graduate!

Good luck new resident~

RP

Welcome to Rakua, a city doused in everlasting night. It is perfection in every conceivable way, affordable housing, walk-able infrastructure, presence of third spaces, all those boring adult things yknow. Everything you could ever want is available for you with only one catch.

Go to school.

Adults may live out most of their lives at home while attending community college, children learning the fundamentals in primary. Regardless of age, school is mandatory and non-negotiable.

Everyone is divided into three years, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years with a majority of the citizens staying as 1st years for all their life, only a handful of 3rd years sticking around the city. There isn't any discernible reason why someone is in the category that they're in and how one can move to a different year. As far as everyone knows, people just. Do. Graduation never really happens but new people are always coming in and some do move out. No one's movement is restricted so these matters usually are left to the wayside with the logic than when it is time for you to move up a year, you will know it. The only clue you have is the rules that are hung up on every schools Main Hall.

The Rule of the First Years is to Live
The Rule of the Second Years is to Protect
The Rule of the Third Years is to Remember

Some are content to stay the year that they are, living out each day as happily as they can. They attend classes, go to work, have fulfilling lives that only could be achieved in dreams. But what everyone knows is that the Student Council may hold some answers to the mystery surrounding Rakua. Made up of six mysterious figures, they are the effective major power that runs the city. Taking care of the citizens, making sure that school is running, and organizing community events, these are only some of the duties that the council employs. There are rumours that they have special powers as they can be magically found whenever help is needed. Their deeper understanding of the city may just be the clue you need to achieve the fabled graduation.

Whether you are a new resident or you have been living in the city that never sleeps for your entire life, its time to go to school I think.

How this RP works

Show hidden content

Your form will be quite basic, but the most important aspect is choosing what year your character will be.

1st years are pretty normal with no real gimmick about them but 2nd and 3rd years will get a PM from me. Members of the Council will also receive a special PM from me regardless of year.

The goal of this RP is to live. Each player with be given a mission corresponding to their school year. There is no penalty for failure, but rewards for succeeding will be instrumental. For example,

The Mission of All Students, Regardless of Year, is to Graduate. Live Out Your Youthful School Life to its Fullest

Ideally, most people are 1st years! Yes, you can be 2nd or 3rd years, but its no fun if we only have one or two 1st years. 1st years are essentially our protagonists with the rest as supporting characters

By the end of each in RP month, I will announce who has moved up a year or graduated.

Please feel free to try and figure out what each year's mission is in RP but to preserve the mystery please try not to collude together without my knowledge. I may make exceptions but those will be case by case and you must check in with me before going ahead.

Rules

Show hidden content

1. This is a semi-lit roleplay. I expect at least a paragraph per post, around 3-5 sentences minimum. If I am unsure about your RP ability, I reserve the right to request an RP sample

5. I have a pretty thought out plot on how this RP goes. Please consult with me before making any big potentially plot changing decisions
6. Please remove all parenthesis in your forms, they're there for mostly clarification reasons
7. Reserving is fine but please fill out your form within the week! If you can't, please either communicate with me and we can work something out or else that reservation will go to someone else
8. I reserve the right to reject your form. I also reserve the right to give out warnings and kick people out if I see fit

"If you have any complaints please don't tell them to my face"

Username: Comfygazing

Character Name: Pyry Pythios
Gender & Pronouns: Male | He/Him
Age: 25
Year: 3rd Year
Council Member & Position: Student Council President

Appearance:
Dark and mysterious, Pyry leans into his reputation with clothing that deliberately evokes those assumptions. A dark fur collared coat with a high neck shirt underneath, showing as little pale skin as possible is a staple of his wardrobe. Paired with sunglasses that never leave his face even when indoors, many get the impression that he's either an idiot trying to look cool, or there's something more to him that he's desperately hiding. It doesn't help that he's on the shorter side either.

Personality: There is little that is actually known about the enigmatic head of the Council, rarely seen outside of formal events as a shadow behind the brightly shining members. All thats known is that he holds an immense love for Rakua City, with his rise to presidency marked by the creation of numerous programs that only improved the already amazing lives of the citizens. He stands at the head of the Council, leading an age where there have been more graduations than ever in Rakua's history.

Ask any of the council members though, and they will all scoff and describe him as an Apathetic Idiot.
Fears: Acrophobia, he can't stand being higher than the second floor of any building. Mainly because once he is higher than that, his feet start walking him closer to the edge... For similar reasons, he has Aerophobia
Relationships: The closest thing he has to family is the rest of the Council members

Other: As the head of Rakua city and a 3rd year, perhaps Pyry knows more than he lets on

"I'm starting to think that school miiiight just be kinda overrated..."

Username: Comfygazing

Character Name: Kai Squalus
Gender & Pronouns: Bigender | He/She
Age: 18
Year: 1st Year
Council Member & Position: Nope

Appearance:
With a short stature at 147cm (4'8), Kai easily gets lost in crowds as his sandy blond hair and tan skin don't offer much to go off of when it comes to easily finding him. She often likes comfortable clothes that are easy to move in and fashionable, but also offer up some fashionable points.

Personality: A bit shy, words don't come to Kai very easily. As someone who is used to spending time with family and in a place that she knows well, suddenly moving to a new city is quite terrifying for her. His reluctance to speak often makes him the target of teasing and most times, Kai lets it happen as he doesn't exactly enjoy conflict. A bit of a doormat, this one. She enjoys spending time wandering nature, quite sporty in the sense that hiking is a big hobby of hers and can identify plants at a glance.
Fears: Deathly afraid of bodies of water to the point where even bathing churns his stomach. He is very weary around still water that looks shallow. She hopes that the day where people forget her also never comes
Relationships: Gets along really well with his father even if the other isn't around very much

Other: Kai is quite new to the city, only having moved in this year

If you know where the premise comes from no shut up you don't lmao

xxxBreathing in the salt that clung to his skin, Viorel moved past the throngs of people moving towards the city in droves, sliding through the slight gaps between each person like flowing water gliding past obstinate rocks. The constant flux of motion that crowded the main streets, grinding the clogged pathways to a halt almost child's play to navigate for someone who was used to pushing through hoards of other students. After all, if one couldn't survive the initial bloodbath, then where was the fun? The thrill of the hunt?

xxxIt was laughably easy to slip past everyone to the front where the slight pinprick of blood drawn for the informal early census was demanded. Such insignificant pain didn't register in his mind, only another box to check off as he rippled past stagnant bodies leaving behind nothing but a transient whisp of memory that faded into obscurity. There was never anything interesting to do before the reaping, especially when he knew everything that was going to happen. Those who were drawn from the lot would never step foot in the capital and those who had trained their whole lives for such a time would take the crowning glory instead.

xxxWhat a joke

xxxAh, Viorel reflected almost melancholic as he took his pace at the back with the other boys his age. They parted around him like water before an unerodible mountain and he tried not to miss the perfectly carved space beside him that stayed unoccupied. I was too hasty. I should have waited longer before driving that knife in.

xxxIt would have been a shame if Shiki died, but if such a paltry attack could knock the other down until the sea drew him back into Her fold, then he could have never been good enough to participate in the games. And Viorel had been considerate enough to chose a spot that wouldn't pierce any vital organs too. It would be plain embarrassing if Shiki failed to show. Besides, if he was going to laugh at Viorel for getting on stage, then he'd very happily flip his classmate off from atop his lofty perch.

xxxLetting out a breath, he let the nerves slide off his back and loosened his neck. Today, would be the day he would seal his face, with a raised hand and two simple words.

xxxMindlessly ambling through the crowded streets, the only cognizant thoughts to never let go of the callused hand that clasped tightly against dirty fabric covered in tears bouncing lazily around, Ibaraki let dull eyes stay transfixed on the thinning soles of withered work boots. They never had much, only the bare basics to scrape by as they danced the razor thin line between destitution and homelessness. Their best clothing was the ones that they wore on their back, shoes a luxury that Ibaraki hadn't yet had the means of experiencing

xxxDad slowed to a stop, gradual and measured enough that Ibaraki didn't stumble, and turned to kneel down to eye level. "Listen, kid. You're old and smart enough to know how this whole sh- thing works." He coughed, covering up swallowed words with a grimace. "You have a one in a trillion chance of getting picked anyways so do as we practised. Keep your head down, and the oddities out. No one wants to see muscle instead of skin."

xxxThe familiar scolding washed over twitching ears without really registering, shallow nods of the head all that were given. Ibaraki didn't get why they had to go over it again, it wasn't like the rules they had first established when Ibaraki started working out in the fields with the other kids had changed at all and none of them had been broken. Today must be special then, Ibaraki surmised. Special enough to be chosen for something.

xxx "Good kid." Dad smiled, rare and as heartwarming as Ibaraki could remember, a heavy hand coming up to ruffle snowy hair. "Your Ma would be proud." That got the child's attention, sharp ears perking up and Ibaraki gazed at Dad with wonder swimming in molten gold. So rarely had that titled been spoken of, the faint memories of a pale haired woman who would cradle Ibaraki against her chest on particularly cold nights already fading away with the sands of time. She hadn't stayed around, leaving much too soon for Ibaraki to remember much of anything, but Ma always made Ibaraki feel nice and warm. Dad must have felt the same as melancholy seeped into his face at those words, their moment of silence blanketed with grief before Dad took Ibaraki's covered hand again.

xxxThey didn't need to exchange any words as they reached the front of the line and a sliver of pain granted them entry. Packed as it was, Ibaraki still found solace in the steady presence of Dad before even that was taken away and unfamiliar hands led the child towards the front of the crowd. There, various other children were gathered in oderly lines, some that Ibaraki recognized from various crop fields and contracts.

xxxWas everyone here than?

xxxThe thought spurred something bright in Ibaraki's chest, perhaps spurred on by the earlier reminder of something lost. A flicker of something dangerously close to hope settling in the child's chest as Ibaraki looked around to perhaps catch a glimpse of a woman who sparkled like the alcohol that Dad so loved to indulge in but only the cold white of Peace kept reflecting back

The Myrionymos

External Appearance

Armament: The ship is naturally shaped with two wicked prongs along its beak, a Breaker designed to dig and rip into metal. It is armed with four Demi-culverin and a wide variety of shots for any situation. Most commonly loaded with Grapeshot and Canister Shots, but look out for the occasional exploding shot. As with everything that lives on The Myrionymos, they have been modified with Magicka to reload faster, capable of firing twice within 5 minutes.
Hull Color: Brown, growing wild and untamed. At times, the colours may shift as if the wood holding the boat together is alive and writhing under the salty spray of the Sea
Hull Length: 33.5 Meters
Beam: 8.5 Meters
Figurehead, If Present: A soaring owl melding as one with the wood, eyes sparkling a green that even the oceans couldn't hope to reflect. Riding on the owl's back is a scorpion that most would miss on first glance
Command Style: Open-style Wheel

Internal Information

Crew Size: 41 - Captain, First Officer, and Her Crew, most for which to handle Her rigging
Cargo Space: 600 Square Meters
Brig Space: 5 - Mostly available for formality's sake
Living Accommodations: Well - Its cozy but with a such a small ship, you've got to pack it in. Thank goodness the crew all get along well enough to cuddle with one another else it would be quite cramped indeed

Statistics

Maximum Speed: Due to Her lightweight nature, She tops at 80 knots (57 mph/92 km/h)
Maximum Carry Weight: 480 tonnage
Maximum Armor: Thanks to Her captain's tinkering, She can take two hits every 5 seconds, regenerating and refreshing Herself every 10 without any help from the crew. The shield is circular and envelops the bottom of the ship, though it is weaker at the lateral poles than it is horizontal poles.
Minimum Armor: If you get past the shields then anything is a weak point. Shields are especially weak towards the lookout and crows nest, being the last to regenerate after each cycle. In general, the further away from the deck the ship is, the more vulnerable it is likely to be. In part due to its quick regeneration rate, it requires a vast amount of energy to maintain thus leaving Her main power source, Her Captain, fatigued when active for extended periods of time without any help from the crew

Other

Despite not being as impressive looking as other ships of its kind, The Myrionymos boasts one of the highest speeds on the Seas both among woodworks and ironclads, leaving many to rock wildly under Her surf as She runs circles around them. Her small stature makes it hard to hit and blend in with regular ships, disappearing off into the horizon and blitzing back before you can blink. She may not have the best firepower nor be the largest ship, but when you can pick fights and run away from them just as quickly, well why wouldn't you?
