REDMARSH
Lol here we go again
WHAT Hello, and welcome to
REDMARSH, a Black Lagoon inspired mercenary, protection racketeering, pirating, smuggling, black market, and general mayhem RP. Think Black Lagoon. In the water world of the South China Sea and Coral Sea, there's profit to be made in numerous ways, mostly involving acts of piracy. You are apart of the "[You guys have to decide on a name]" Company, a cooperative mercenary company that is contracted to carry out such actions. You all work aboard your faux Higgens 80-footer PT boat, and must cooperated to complete contracts.
There's diversity in the South China Seas, criminals of all backgrounds and origins, of all walks of life, from white collar criminals to pickpockets. Everybody's got a reason for being here. Mostly to avoid prison though. That's why you're here, right?
I (Mr. Hurricane) am Jaakko Kissinger-Adler, your company's pseudo-controller, or even a comptroller. I'm a white collar criminal from Europe. I've found my way down here to continue to conduct my "business" -securities fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, you name a 'professional' business crime, I've probably commit it. I handle strategic details, setups, and present you with contracts. This company being a cooperative, collective enterprise, I don't actually hold any more authority than you do.
Corporate Cooperative Policy This is a rules section. The obvious applies, don't be a jackass. Don't make me have to actually write a rules list.
Encyclopedia Protection RacketeeriaOr, how I learned to stop worrying and love money.Your vessel in this corporate venture is a Higgens PT Boat, newly acquired and yet to be christened. Some stuff has been moved around, and it doesn't carry the torcreepes it used to, but the launchers are still there.
Each crew member brings with them a set of skills to the table. There are no hard stats but your character's skills should be in line with their position. They also shouldn't have too wide of a skill set. There are several positions to be filled.
Captain- Coordinator and Quartermaster, this is the person the ship-members are most willing to follow. They should have general skills, with knowledge of boating, navigation, and radar systems.
Technician - A tech-smart guy who works with electronics and electrical systems. They will operate the radar and other ship-board electronics functions. Somewhat "specialized," and can repair such systems. He works with communications mainly. This position overlaps with Captain and Engineer to ensure that someone is able to RP at any time. Usually an Adjutant to the Captain.
Engineer(s) - A machine-smart guy, intuitive and resourceful. Can tinker in weapons too, but probably not as good at working with weapons as an armorer. This guy can fix the engines and has a variety of technical skills, such as welding, and probably has diving skills too. Can do machining work.
Armorers - Weapons techs, overlaps with engineers, but can be very useful with working with weapons and weapons systems. Know machining and welding. Can work with a massive variety of weapons.
Strong-Arms - Basically "soldiers" that can have some sort of other skills, usually having good weapons skills, they can maintain their weapons of choice as well. These guys generally don't have a specialized skill set though.
Depending upon the interests of the players, I may add complexities in a manner similar to that of ABS FIESTA in regards to armaments of your boat.
Employee RegistrationSome rules: Bring skills to the table, but stuff that falls in line with your character's pseudo-class. You can have one or so odd skills without punishment. Just don't make your skill sets too wide, m'kay?
This enterprise has employees of varying ethnicity and backgrounds. You all speak English, but you can add a second or even third language without punishment.
A note on mental illness, psychopaths/sociopaths are forbidden. Sadists are borderline okay, you just better play it well. Your character must be loyal to the company, no loving around.
Update: 5/7, I'm adding an inactivity clause to the RP. Basically, allowing me clearance to RP as your character in the event that you are gone, or have reported yourself as being unable to participate for a length of time.
Also, a "Sudden Death" Clause, think of it as a sort of hard mode. It's completely voluntary, and would strip away the plot armor. You mess up, you die. Not sure how to work out character death for those who don't submit though.
