OOC: First of all do not be alarmed by the images below or believe that this is a topic to show my artwork, (and as such move it to Carni Islan) it is in fact an RP, but one I've decided to do in a distinctly different style then usual!
I decided to try and do something new from what I have seen before, and that is to lay the background of this RP in a comic book way! Of course the rest of the RP will play out in the usual written message format, but here for this opening I decided to not just limit myself to text but to mix in pictures as well and hopefully make it a bit more interesting, if only to try something new. ^_~
Anyone able to guess the SegaSonic characters in the comic before the end of the post gets a

And if anyone is confused and have questions, please feel free to say them. 
***********
Right, this is where the writing now comes in. X__X I hope you all read it and abide by the rules here, please.
Rules:
-Right, first to clarify some things. This RP is SegaSonic, set five years after the end of Sonic 3 and Knuckles, before Sonic Adventure 1, 2, Heroes, Battle etc, ever happened. The saga of the Chaos Emeralds is over and so begins a new one upon the sea Dr. Robotnik is presumed dead from the destruction of his last stand in space, especially after he has not resurfaced in 5 years. Whilst its always possible he could return, it could be better if we newer enemies were established.
-Shadow, Maria, etc. do not exist. Rouge could perhaps exist as a member of the marines if wanted, but characters such as Shadow, the E-100 series etc. do not exist.
-No character is allowed to be a relative of an official character, please.
-No Super Speed. This is reserved only for Sonic and is an trait which is kinda annoying to see in nearly every other character. Sure you can be fast if your species naturally is fast, such as a cheetah. Although it might be more beneficial to be a type of Sea Creature (something we dont get a lot of, really,) and be able to swim in the depths of the sea! A character may be allowed to have a Speed Pearl, but if one character does have this, no other may do so.
-Human characters are allowed, as are any other species you wish to use.
-No Chaos Control, or any other Chaos subsidiary attacks/abilities.
-Technology is that of the kind of stuff you might find within the pirate era. Im not too familiar with the specifics but Im sure youve all got an idea what I mean. No blasters, plasma rifles etc.
-Magic is allowed, but of course. This might not necessarily stem from the character themselves but rather a Pearl of Wisdom. Unlike the Chaos Emerald where there are only seven of them, for Pearls of Wisdoms there are an undetermined set of numbers, each and every one different from the last, however they are nowhere near as powerful as a single Chaos Emerald, and the powers are limiting. Absolutely no godly powers, but something reasonable please. Your character could have a Pearl of Wisdom is you want, but if they do they are only allowed a maximum of one. Again, you dont necessarily have to have one and your character can go on their own strengths. A character cannot lose a Pearl of Wisdom as they imbed themselves in the persons chest, however, forceful removal could be possible at the cost of a great deal of pain. Pearls of Wisdom dont automatically imbed themselves whenever somebody finds one, instead the finder or person could bond with it whenever they want, or alternatively sell it for an extremely large sum of money as most pirates might do.
-If you have a character which does use a Pearl of Wisdom, try to come up with imaginative abilities far unusual then what you might normally see. No elemental only abilities yet, meaning no Fire pearl, Water Pearl, Lightning Pearl etc. and no mixture of any or all of these. Although you can only have one, be creative! The ability to halt a person for a few seconds, the power of imitation, spring limbs the abilities can differ in usefulness or power, but remember they are unique and cannot be the same at all twice!
-The number of characters you want to use is personally up to you, but please be reasonable. Only have a number of characters which youll be able to control reasonably well.
-Discussion is a must to the success of an RP. If anyone has any problem or concerns as we go along please mention it and well try and see if we can sort something out.
-Subplots are of course allowed, as long as they dont get too overly large and consume the main storyline.
-And one last thing; have fun!
IC:
New Tarverst Station
The high and classic old steam train gently edged its way into the station, its progress slowing down as it finally came to a complete and utter stop at the station. For one person within the third carriage of the old and luxurious looking train, this would be the start of an incredible adventure as already he had his face planted to the window, his eyes wide as he looked out and around at what would be the first stage of his incredible journey. His pupils darted from left to right, up and down, as he took all of the sight before him in, and this was only a train station.
Sir, we have arrived, you may disembark from the began the voice of the train conductor who was looking over the relatively young cat and which automatically gained his attention, and was interrupted suddenly.
Alright! Im here! The cat shouted, jumping over the table in-between the opposite facing cushioned seats and landing in the hallway, already starting to run to the door exit and exit as fast as he possibly could. The train conductor which was suddenly and un-expectantly left could only look on in wonder and surprise at the eager cat that had just left.
Wahoo! Leon hollowed out in joy as he stepped off the train and jumped up slightly upon the station, his shout carrying on across the entire platform and earning him a few confused glances and awkward glares from the other passengers around him. Alright, alright, Im here, Im here! He continued to shout, bopping up and down and then beginning to race towards the exit of the station, and towards what would no doubt be a large and bustling port city before him. His race was awkward and clumsy and he paid little heed or attention to the other people upon the station, even accidentally running and bumping into a lot of them as he passed, only having to say Sorry! over his shoulder as he didnt stop to properly apologise and help any falling people up again.
He jumped through the swivelling doors and landed outside the station on the solid ground, as he finally began to look and take in the magnificent sight before him. He was on a hill overlooking the rest of the magnificent port city, and this only helped to further increase his large and booming smile more.
Coooo~~~~ooooool!!!
Name: Leon Gainsban.
Age: 16
Species: Orange Tabby Cat
Personality: A bright and cheerful person, he is extremely carefree and has been rushed up into the Pirate Age excitement from a young age. Friendly, he would do almost anything for a friend and is difficult to anger. His carefree attitude implies a view that he is rather idiotic and stupid, but this is far from the truth, he is instead very clever. Once he decides on a matter of course like most cat-types, he will continue to do whatever it is no matter what and would have to be deterred from it with great effort. Once he sets his mind on something, he will usually carry it out. Despite his species type, he has little fear of the sea water and instead has an attraction to it, hence why he wishes to journey out onto the sea as a Pirate.
Pearl of Wisdom: The High Jump Pearl: Leon has the ability to jump extremely high and large distances as well. Being a cat he can naturally jump high and large distances, but the High Jump Pearl helped to enhance and improve this ability to a much larger degree.
Weapons: N/A; he uses his fists, feet and tail to battle.
Strengths: Leon is an average fighter but is quite swift. His High Jump Pearl ability gives his fighting skills a distinctive extension within fighting where he would be able to mix the ability into his fighting and thus make him a powerful and skilled fighter if need be.
Weaknesses: Leon can be a bit nave at times and his mind set of aiming to complete something once he has decided to can be a flaw in itself. This can usually lend him into situations over his head which may harm both him and whoever else he is with.
Link to picture of character (if any): I'll have a pic up of Leon and the other characters later. For now though there is a small profile pic of Leon in the comic. ^^
Name: Bean the Dynamite Dux
Age: 20
Species: Duck
Personality: A quick to anger person, Bean acts as a Pirate Hunter, if only to be on the side of the law and use it as means of excuse for his personal hobby, causing destruction with his bombs. Bean has a fascination with explosions and always aims to create a bigger one then the last. Hes the one that speaks the most between him and his partner, Bark, and usually decides on what they do. Although hes a Pirate Hunter itself he also performs a few criminal activities at time, such as the destructive nature of his bombs, and it might be he is a Pirate Hunter because no self-respecting pirate would want such a psychopathic idiot on their crew.
Pearl of Wisdom: Dynamite Peal: Bean has the ability to summon any type of explosive to the level of concentration he can muster. The bigger the explosive, the more concentration it takes, however Beans concentration is hardly anything and his quick to anger nature usually ends up with the result of small explosives. Any type of explosive is possible, from usual bombs, dynamite, and most fitting of the Pirate era, Cannon Balls.
Weapons: Bombs, dynamite, cannonballs.
Strengths: His Dynamite Pearl power can make him a quite powerful person, however his nature and personality usually end up on the power being fairly weak. He is quite agile.
Weaknesses: Beans lack of concentration levels due to his quick nature to be angered makes his dynamite power fairly weak. His quick anger nature can also lead him to make poor judgements. He isnt a strong hand to hand fighter either.
Name: Bark
Age: 22
Species: Polarbear
Personality: Unusually quiet compared to his partner Bean. He generally keeps his thoughts to himself and allow Bean to create the choices for their partnership for them, however Bark does offer sound advice during critical times. Bark is very intelligent however compared to his partner who rarely ever shuts up he has little time to actually voice his thoughts. Why exactly he sticks with Bean when others take a wide berth from the crazy Dux is a mystery.
Pearl of Wisdom: Bark has no Pearl of Wisdom.
Weapons: N/A
Strengths: Despite the fact that Bark hasnt even got a Pearl of Wisdom, he is a feared and respected Pirate Hunter for his powerful upper body strength as per his large figure. His punches are extremely powerful and rumoured to have the power of a shotgun blast. He has a good amount of defence.
Weakness: Bark is extremely slow on foot and in reaction compared to a light, agile fighter. His inability to speak much and allow Bean to make the decisions in their partnership could lead him into situations very unfavourable.
IC:
The caped figure closest to where the young cat was standing stepped back in slight agitation, her tail flicking amusedly. What, she asked herself, was this kid so darn excited about? And how did he have this much energy? She put her hands on her hip and watched the feline for a moment, head shaking. In all her years, she had never found anything exciting enough to make her act the way he did. Whoever he was.
Sighing, Karya walked toward the cat, knowing she was going to hate herself for this. "Um..." She stuttered. "D'you need help...or what? Lost? Forgot to take your meds this morning?"
Name: Karya (car-eye-uh)
Age: 21
Species: Fox
Personality: Kari is a very serious individual who has been around a time or two. She tends to be very sarcastic in her comments, though it takes someone very annoying to bug her. Karya can be a little too wary of others at times, believing trust to be a stupid thing. But once you get under her skin, she's a pretty stick-tight friend who offers her advice on things she's seen or witnessed. Basically, she's seen as a crab unless you're on her good side.
Pearl of Wisdom: Pearl of Suspension: Kari's pearl allows her to freeze certain people or things in their tracks, though not speaking literally. They are momentarily suspended on the spot, not being able to move or even blink. They can think though. This does require a lot of concentration on Kari's part, and only lasts 5 minutes at the most.
Weapons: Two swords
Strengths: When punching, Karya's fists are said to "hit like a train", effectively winding an opponent. She has a lean body and years of fighting experience, making her very agile and wise to the ways of the world.
Weakness: Her quick tongue can sometimes lead to a few mishaps, and when confronted about her past, she can shies away. Lack of trust in the right people can also end up giving poor Kari one less ally.
Link to picture of character (if any): www.deviantart.com/deviation/18101799/ (In this, since the technology is limited, she had no metal arm. Just a white-gloved hand like the other arm. Also, picture her with a cape. Dark green cape. And this is an old reference, so that's why the quality is so bad. ><)
Name: Alliandria (Al-e-ann-drea-eh) Forte (For-tay)
Age: 20
Species: Fox
Appearance: Alli has crimson red hair tied into a ponytail that runs down her back, the hair also has two bangs . As well as yellow colored fur and deep hazel green eyes, she wears long dark brown boots - runs to a few inches from her knees. It has a black belt and a gold buckle to keep it on. She also has dark brown glvoes, and dark orange cloth pants that go into her boots tightly. Also held tightly by a black belt with a golden buckle. A quiver is attached to the belt, two actually. All the arrows in the quivers are tipped with a type of flammable liquid and she carries a lighter at all times. She also wears a white tanktop with a golden amulet around her neck. A black vest (a jacket without sleeves) is on her person as well. She has a black belt that runs diagonally across her chest that leads to her back Long Bow "sheath". She also has a small knife in the inner lining of her vest.
Personality: She doesn't tend to be carefree, though she isn't dead serious. But she is careful, or paranoid sometimes of people she feel are non-trustable. Besides that she is a good ally, and would break a arm and a leg fro her friends.
Pearl of Wisdom: N/A
Weapons: Long Bow & Quiver of Arrows
Strengths: Alli is really skilled with the Bow and Arrow, she has won several archery competions since she has been venturing the world since age seventeen. She is also quick in melee, swiftness is needed in most battles and she knows it.
Weakness: Though her paranoia of some people can make people think she is crazy or paranoid. The altter she can be, but not all the time. She also can easily be overpwoered in battle, or disarmed when using her knife. She's a archer not a warrior.
IC: Spaz the bat sat in the bar with his feet on the table drinking an ale and playing with the blackball on his lip piercing. Ever since he found that thing out on the sea, he could see alot better. In the night, dark areas. He has no idea what it is. He thinks it's just a good luck charm.
He took another sip of his ale and took the piercing out and held it in his hand. When he was looking at it, he heard some kid shouting ane he looked out the window. "what is he so happy about?"
OOC:
Name: Spaz
Age: 19
Species: Bat
Personality: Very Quiet. He's the exact opposite of what his name implies. Very sleepy and fairly smart, he always knows how to make someone in a bad mood happy.
Pearl of Wisdom: He doesn't know it, but he has the pearl of better vision on his libre piercing. With it, he can see in the dark and has a thermal vision, but he has to concentrate to use it. He discovered it when he fell in a dark pit on an island.
Weapons: A type of sword. (don't know what kind, but it's like Yunsung's from Soul Calibur2)
Strengths: He's very wise and very influential. He can talk his way out of alot of trouble.
Weakness: He's not very good at swimming, so you think a pirate would be the worst thing for him to be, but he loves the sea and the mystery surrounding it. He just wants to make some money so he can buy a nice house, maybe find a wife, and settle down.
Appearance: wears a grey coat, all the time. The sleeves are rolled up and he has a leather wrist band on his, well wrist. He has black pants. I'll get a picture later.
OOC: It's great to see some people already and hopefully even more will come! ^^ Fantastic characters have already been created and I've got a feeling of them already. ^_~ Just a note here, your character doesn't have to neccessarily start near the station or where my character is... in fact, the whole port town is there for you to roam! You can start absolutely anywhere in there, a bar like already mentioned by SuperShadow70, a back alley, a market, in any old house, actually down by the port and boats... anywhere. It's really up to you.
IC: Leon took a moment to stop and examine the fox who had just interrupted him. His head was tilted to one side and his mouth was pursed together in a small o sign, as if straining to understand Karya.
D'you need help...or what? Lost? Forgot to take your meds this morning?" the fox had asked. Leon hadnt seemingly taken this in yet, as he gazed across all of Karya thoughtfully, and then his eyes fixed themselves on two sheathes around each of her sides holding swords. Leons eyes and mouth instantly widened to a joyous feeling and he suddenly grabbed onto one of Karyas arm.
What th-?! Karya was about to say but was suddenly flung off her feet as Leon began running down the gradual hill from the top of the city and station and further into the bustling port town. He wore a huge, smile, as he continued to pull Karya behind him.
Im not lost! Im looking for partners! Leon called out.
Partners?! Karya confusedly said behind Leon, irritated and unpleased that he was pulling like this.
Yep! And Ive already found one! Leon replied.
Whaaatt?!?!
IC:
New Tarverst Station
Clayton steps off the train. His cloak flails in the wind. He looks around the station. There are many people conversing, greeting loved ones and saying goodbye to others. Out of the corner of his eye he notices a very high spirited young cat. He looks over to see him bounceing about.
"Well isn't he just full of life." he thought.
The young cat is joined by a lovely young female fox. Clayton can't help but over hear that she asks him if he needed help. Now he knows she wasn't asking him, but maybe either of them could give him a hand. Clayton grabs the brim of his hat brings it down over his eyes and walks over to the two.
"Excuse me. I was wondering if either of you were from around here? I'm looking for were the Marines post the pirate wanted posters."
OOC:
NAME: Clayton (last name is unknown)
AGE: 21
SEX: male
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 5' 9'' 170 lbs.
PERSONALITY: Clayton is a Pirate Hunter, by trade. He's kind and seems to be a goof ball, but when it comes to fighting he is the most serious person alive. He travels alone, but is known to be a part time member of a few Pirate Hunter groups. Clayton spent a few years of his life training in several different fighting styles. He has always thought that a true warrior doesn't need the aid of the Pearls of Wisdom. Not that the pearls are bad. Nor are the people who use them to fight any less a threat.
SPECIES: Bat-eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis)
PEARL OF WISDOM: He doesn't use one. He has sold a few, which has made him a wealthy young man.
STRENGTHS: He's stealthy, cunning and intelligent. He may not have the greatest eyesight in the world, but he has trained his other senses to compensate.
WEAKNESSES: He doesn't use a Pearl of Wisdom and that puts him a great disadvantage. His eyesight does trip him up a little with out his glasses, but his other senses help.
WEAPON: under his cloak he has a belt that holds gadgets he uses.
WEARS: wears black boots, a navy blue shirt w/black pants. He also wears a black Highwaymen's cloak and glasses. A black cavalier hat a top his head.
OOC: Good to see ya in it, WayneLeonHeart. Welcome to the MoFo and specifically the RP Guild. 
That's an interesting character there and it looks like he's had a lot of interesting thought put into him. Cool!
Btw, I don't know if this will cause a problem or not in the future, but could you roleplay in third person? I think that's the norm here and it could feel confusing reading between different writing styles over the course of the RP.
And Leon and Karya aren't at the station anymore, as Leon just grabbed Karya and ran into the city. You could have it that the two just rudely up and left Clayton without without speaking to him, in which case in future encounters Clayton might not be so impressed. 
OOC:
Thanks for the welcome. Hey no prob about the third person thing. The only other RPG i've been apart of we had to write in first person and we couldn't control others characters with out permission. Just have to get used to the third person thing.
The funny thing is you posted just before I did, so I didn't see you're addition the two characters coversation. Oh one question, do we have to speak in a specfic tense?
OOC: I wouldn't think it would really matter but then again it is up to Pach, personally I'd think it wouldn't matter but that's me. Oh, and welcome to the Guild. ^^
IC:
The smell of the sea, wasn't it great? That smell of those salt infested waters, the sound of the clitter clatter of hammers and saws making new boats. The feeling that made you feel great. Alliandra, or Al as most called her leaned aganist a wooden pole in the docking port in which the port town had. A few ships were being serviced, and one built. One of those serviced ships used to be her own. The Quiet Wind. A small galley with no real weapons was what she had sold to a Merchant who needed a fast-moving ship to move from place to place. And besides she needed the money. But Al bit her lip as she thought about it. She loved sailing and without a ship where would she to go now? She shrugged as she wiped her nose and her hazel green eyes examined the port and in all of its activity on this brisky day. The wind was ripe, and she could almost taste it. She blniked as the step of footsteps made her turn. She knew not to turn her back, with all of the creeps in this world - she wouldn't know if she'd get napped. And without any real upper body strength - well defensive strength she'd be easily taken and nabbed for what ever creeps did. She huddered at the thought. She sighed in relief as she just saw a sailor pass by. Al sighed, leaning aganist the pole in a better direction now. She could see the town now, made her feel a bit better.
A bit.
Spaz was intrigued by this eager young cat and stepped out of the bar to go find him. He asked around and they said they saw an energetic little cat with a lovely young fox being pulled behind him. "So, he was an orange tabby cat, pulling a fox by the arm, right?" he asked a big old wolf lady. "Right." She said.
He wandered the streets and finally caught up with the spastic little kitten and the "lovely" fox.
"What are you so excited about kid? Did you lose your mom, or something?"
OOC: I suppose this might be a good time to change Spaz's personality. I'll edit my other post, but I wanted to inform you as well. Hope that's okay.
OOC: Well, I don't suppose you have to speak in a specific tense, so I guess it's up to you what tense you'd want to do it in.
Generally though, you aren't allowed to control other people's characters and is generally frowned upon. However, if you feel comfortable and believe you can roleplay a person's character well and in-character, as well as only for as small amount of time as possible to move the story on, then it's okay. In this case I've roleplayed along Shadow Lady's character, Karya before, and in my post I only controlled her for as small amount of time as possible. I think it could be to your discretion as to whether you think you'd be okay to roleplay other people's characters for a short time, but seeing as you've only just joined the Guild I think you're pretty unfamiliar with the other characters, so perhaps for now it'd best to stick with you own character until your experience grows and you feel more comfortable, okay?
And SuperShadow, it's okay if you want to change his personality and a good thing too near the start of the RP. Thanks for informing us. 
IC:
Leon stopped completely as Spaz stepped into view of both Leon and Karya. Leon stopped and simply paused as he looked at the Bat, his hand still gripping onto Karyas wrist, before she tugged it away from his grasp with a swift movement away from it.
Did you lose your mom or something, kid? The Bat asked him.
Leon raised one eye wider as he looked at the Bat, his appearance not making Leon feel too comfortable. He looked intimidating thanks to his grey and black attire, which was a stark contrast to Leons blue and yellow Hawaiian shirt and red shorts. What about my mom?! Leon shouted back in response, feeling quite angry at the mans sudden interval. And who are you?!
IC:
Karya just stared at the young tabby cat, her fur still on end, rubbing her wrist. He had taken her totally by surprise, grabbing her and towing her along out of the blue like a child's wagon. Even more surprising was the fact that he had said she was now his "partner". Raising an eyebrow, the vixen looked to the bat, putting her hands on her hips.
"S'what I'd like to know too..." And with that, she glared at Leon, hoping he got the message.
She felt outraged that the feline would DARE lay a hand on her, a complete stranger, and claim she had agreed to this...this partership! All she did was ask him a few questions, and boom! Here she was. On the other hand, she felt so curious about Leon's motives that she decided to stay for the moment, to try and find out what had compelled him to do such a thing.
Right, She thought, no more talking to random strangers that just got off a train. Karya paused to take a good look at the cat, feeling a small smile tug at the corner of her muzzle.
Sugar. Kari nodded to herself. Yep. The kid probably had too much sugar.
OOC: He's a brash smartaleck, never afraid to say what's on his mind. He can be a real pain in the neck during sticky situations. Despite this, he's a true southern gentleman and a trys to use his manners. He knows how to treat a lady.
Spaz looked at the fox. " What do they feed this kid, huh?" He lets out a gruff chuckle and looks at the little cat. "Why don't you tell us what in Sam Hill you think you're doing? That's no way to treat a lady ya know! And why didja just grab er and run off huh kid? Whaddya need er fer anyways?" He stares in his eyes, waiting for him to respond.
Karya snorted, before turning to Spaz. "My bet is that he had too much suga before he got on the train." She jabbed her thumb at the feline before she closed her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest.
Well Leon began, raising a finger to his chin as if recounting something. the food cart did have a lot of tasty food to eat. There were all these types of sweets that tasted so yummy and that wedding cake that was being delivered! That was really nice. Leons smile broadened a lot.
You ate all of someone elses wedding cake?! Spaz questioned, surprised and little disgusted by it.
Yeah! Im sorry I didnt save you some though, I didnt know Id meet you! You dont know what you missed out on. Unbelievable as it could be, Leons smile grew even wider, before it snapped back to the serious and untrusting expression he wore when he first met the Bat. Shes my partner! Leon shouted again. And then, repeating his earlier demand, he shouted to Spaz, And just who are you?!?
A Tavern by the Port
The figure shifted in his seat for the twelfth time. He couldnt keep still and it was a problem he obviously had. He could never settle for long, as he kept fidgeting, speaking and quickly downing another drink, whilst his partner coldly and silently watched his loud friend conversing, not interrupting or speaking at all. His mouth was covered by the scarf above it, and he hadnt touched his own drink not that there was anything left anyway. His partner had already downed that as well a second later.
Im telling ya, we need to go for the big league, actually start hunting down some of these saps that are actually worth some dough, yknow? We cant keep fighting these loser Pirate wanabees that have bounties the size of an ant. The green duck explained, his arms moving in the air as if to explain his point further. He was being loud, and he attracted the attention of a lot of the other people in the tavern as well, but they didnt speak up or interrupt. The duck, Bean the Dynamite Dux, was almost certifiably crazy. Mess with him and well, your insides would no doubt be meeting the outside.
Again, his partner, Bark the Polar Bear said nothing, just looking at the significantly smaller Dux, his thoughts kept to himself. He showed no emotion of interest, or boredom, or anything else. Just listening. This didnt creep Bean out in the slightest, instead it just made him keep talking even more.
I mean, I know its safer to take out these nobodies, but wheres the income, really? Weve got to become rich, Bark ol buddy. Besides, none of these higher bounty guys can beat me anyway. Im Bean, the Dynamite Dux! Yknow?
Bark just nodded slightly, and then managed to speak up for once. Are we done here?
Huh? Yeah, yeah, said bean, snapping out of his thoughts and then picking himself up from the chair and heading towards the exit. I dont think any pirate with any respect for himself would be here, yknow? This is like one of the major island ports around, and its even got its own Marine Headquarters! Bark olbuddy, remind me again why were here.
"..."
Thats right, Barky boy, continued Bean, before the Polar Bear could even possibly respond. The new bounties and wanted posters. And, yeah, I know weve gotta pay for some repairs to our ship after the, heh, last time we got into a skirmish (Bean and Barks ship was practically destroyed after an odd explosion there), but I dont wanna stay here for long! Theres no potential for a decent battle, or bounty. Face it, theres nothing hopeful in this town
Spaz raises an eyebrow at the little tabby. "I'm Spaz, captain of The Adrianne. Sadly, mah crew was all taken by a sea monster. They're not dead. Just missin'."
He eyes the fox from head to toe. "Ah don' believe we've been introduced."
IC:
Clayton watched the cat boy grab the girl by the arm and rush off. Clayton raised his eyebrow. The kid running like that made very suspicious, but to be sure he double checked his breath. "Nope it wasn't me." he thought. The two get stopped by a bat a little ways ahead of him. Clayton then hears the cat boy yell at the bat. If the kid is a pirate then he would have to take him down before he harms anyone.
As to not alarm anyone Clayton casually hurries over to the cat, fox and bat. Clayton gets between the bat and fox.
"Is everything alright over here?" he asks trying to calm things down.
"And who are you?" Leon asked.
Clayton pushes his hat up a little with his thumb, "My name is Clayton and I'm a Pirate Hunter. I came over to see if everything alright." he said in reply.
OOC: I hope that was ok
Al' had seen the events from a distance and had gone a bit closer as she examined the three exchanging replies and actions to each other. She of course had been cautious and had kept a good distance to make it look like she wasn't listening - but her curiousity got the best of her as the word's "Capitan" were heard. She had formerly been one of those, but without a ship that made her a Ex-Capitan. She blinked as she saw the cat, no yougner then seventeen filled with a adreniline rush. Reminded her of her brother who was fourteen himself. He was somewhere, last she saw of him she was seventeen and he was eleven at the time. She chuckled at the thought as she saw a new figure entering the trio's grouping. The new figure put himself between the cat and bat obviousily trying to stop any hostilities. Her ears twitched.
"Is everything alright over here?" he asks trying to calm things down.
"And who are you?" Leon asked.
Clayton pushes his hat up a little with his thumb, "My name is Clayton and I'm a Pirate Hunter. I came over to see if everything alright." he said in reply.
Al' decided this would be a good time for a witty comment and a entrance.
"Looks like they're alright themselves. Besides can you honestly think these guys are pirates?" she raised a eyebrow as she entered the grouping.
"And who are you?" the cat asked, curious.
"Names Alliandra, call me Al." she said with a nod.
IC:
Clayton turns and sees another female fox. He chuckled to himself, "Well, when I walked up to these two," points to the other female fox and the young cat, "he grabbed her arm and rushed off. That made him a bit suspicious."
Clayton tips his hat a little trying to remember his manners. As he tips his hat he also looks at Alliandra, "Very nice to meet you. Just in case you missed it, I'm Clayton."
Clayton then extends his hand to her to be friendly. She also extends hers and they shake. Clayton smiled. He then turns his attention back to the other three.
"So if you three aren't pirates, who are you?" Clayton asked.
Spaz looks at Clayton and lets out a chuckle. "Wha makes ya so sure I ain't a pirate? Why do ya thank ah'm in this town anyway? Thank ah'm a tourist or somethin'?" His southern drawl gets strong when he's irritated. "Listen bub, everything' aalright. Nobody was gonna git hurt, so I think you should leave."
Al' smirks as she hears CLayton. "Don't start accusing people on sight it tends to irritate people." she commented as she nodded. "As for a full introduction.... my name is Alliandria Forte, former capitan of the galley; The Quiet Wind." she said. Spaz raised a eyebrow, "Former Capitan?" he wondered. "What happened to your being a capitan, eh?" he asked as he finsihed hsi question.
Al' nodded. "I had to sell my ship....after the crew abandoned me here." she frowned.
"Wow, have ta say that sucks." Spaz replied.
She nodded as she turned to the other two. "I introduced myself, can you folks do the same?" she asked with a smirk.
IC:
Clayton's brow raised, "Listen I was just wanted to help, that and as I said these two dashed off when I spoke to them and that made them suspicious." Clayton replied to the bat. "I also have a feeling that you're not a pirate, because only arogant pirates say they are in front of a hunter. And you don't strike me as the arogant type."
Clayton brought his hat back down, pushed his glasses back up and look at the four. "Now, I am new here and was wondering if someone could direct me to the local Marine base?" Clayton asked.
Leon had been silent in the last moments of exchange between people. Already two more people had come towards them, and Leon thought it must have been because he was so popular that they wanted to join him! But Leon was unusually quiet when Clayton introduced himself.
My name is Clayton and I'm a Pirate Hunter. I came over to see if everything alright.
Pirate Haunter?! Leons mind shouted to himself. Hes a ghost that haunts pirates?!? Leon felt unusually cold and began looking from side to side, searching for a way to shift out of the scene and take Karya with him. But that plan was stopped short by the arrival of another figure. A crimson fox with a cross bow sheathed in their back?!
So coooo~~~~~ooool! Leon dragged out, his eyes literally seeing stars before him as he watched Alliandria. And as she spoke to Clayton, she even revealed that she used to be a pirate!
Leoj slowly shifted and slid to where Karya was which automatically made her uncomfortable given the cats personality. He leaned into her, and with his hand meant to be blocking his words from being escaped and heard by the others, although placed n the other side and actually in between him and Karya, he whispered to her.
I think weve found our next partner! He smiled.
He whispered this even as Clayton asked his next question, of where the marine headquarters in this twon would have been, but since Leon didn't know he didn't even bother to answer him, but he was still a bit wary that he was a ghost.
Clayton's ears twitched. He heard Leon mummble something. He looks over to him, raises his brow and smiles.
"Did you say something?" he asked.
Now Clayton knew he had said something the question is what. He said it in a low whisper, and though Clayton is a bat fox and has superlative hearing, he could quite make out what the young cat said.
Kari looked disgusted, "First of all, I ain't goin' NOWHERE with you...since when did we establish this.....this partnership!?" She used her fingers, emphasizing partnership. "Second of all, I don't hafta talk about nothin'..."
She glanced at Leon, wondering if the kid was actually listening to her.
Clayton sighed a little. He thought about what Alliandra said. It was very rude of him to accuse people of being pirates. It is rude and they may not tell him anything with out an apology first. Clayton looked the young cat, fox and bat.
"Look, I'm sorry that I accused you of being a pirates. It was quite rude of me. I hope you can accept my apology." Clayton said in a humble voice.
But we are pirates. Leon humbly said, apparently forgetting everything about his fear of the pirate haunter moments before. He said it without concern and as if it was natural, not having to think of it before.
Both me and my two partners. He concluded, his smile broadening into a grin as he was happy with his newfound friends.
"I seriousily doubt that you are a Pirate. But then again I could be kidding myself." Al' said with a chuckle. "Pirates have a personality that you would know from beginning to end. But then again sometimes its ahrd to tell." she said as she looked at the cat. "Hell, people I used to know thought I was a pirate. No, I was jsut a capitan of a ship looking for treasure. With no violent intentions besides self-defense. Wether it would be self-defense from the law or other 'explorers' like myself." she chuckled. "But perhaps you could call me a pirate." she thought as she smirked. She then looked back at the 'pirate hunter' and smirked.
"Marine base? I'm not sure where it'd be."
Clayton looks at the kid with confusion. He was having trouble processing what the young cat just admitted to being and in front of someone who just revealed himself to be a hunter.
"Well, what kind of pirate are you?" Clayton asked. They look at him a little confused themselves. "Let me explain. yes I am a Pirate Hunter, but I go after the real evil pirates. The ones that are like Robin Hood I have no problem with. I worked with a pirate that once told me there are a few kinds of pirate. There are the Ruthless, they enjoy killing, stealing etc all for personal gain. Then there are the Vigilantes, they are good guys but work outside the law and so the Marines dub them pirates. I'm a vigilante, but I don't get arrested because I work under the title Pirate Hunter. As long as I drag in the bad guys the Marines don't harass me." Clayton explained.
He looked at the cat in the eyes, "So what kind of pirate are you?" he asked
A pirates a pirate. Leon said simply, and a bit disrespectfully compared to the fact Clayton had already explained the different terms of a pirate. I want to find the Pearl of Order!
Takeing in a deep breath to keep calm, remembering that he's still a kid. He then started to process that he was looking for the Pearl of Order. He had heard of it and that a lot of dangerous pirates that he was after and some he had caught were after it.
"Pearl of Order. That last town I was in a few of the people said they were helped by a young cat who was looking for the Pearl of Order. Maybe it was this kid." Clayton thought to himself.
He looks at him, "And what will you do when you find the Pearl of Order?" Clayotn asked. If this kid was the kid from the other town, he decided he would join up with him. He would be able to stop those pirates he's after.
Kari's eyebrow arched, as she stared at the boy. She couldn't believe what he was saying! With a scowl, the vixen pondered using her Pearl of Wisdom on Leon, and making a getaway. But something held her rooted to the spot, listening in to the talk of those gathered around them. There was the bat, Spaz, who so far had said little else and had stayed silent as well. Clayton was now conversing with Leon, trying to keep his calm with the tabby. And Al'. The ex-captain kept her cool throughout the whole thing, talking mostly about her days of sailing and such.
Karya sighed, taking a few steps away from Leon. "Right, well, I have...other business to attend to."
Spaz ingested all of this. It's happening fast! What's this kid talking about? A pirate? Partners? "WOULD SUMEBODY TELL MEH WHAT IN THE SAM HILL'S GOIN' ON HERE? The kid starts with his story."
Well, like Ive been explaining before, Leon said in a matter of factly tone and folded his arms above his chest as if to emphasise what he meant. Im a pirate, and I want to search for the Pearl of Order! His smiled grew broader, as he then opened his arms out and pointed to Kari and Ali.
And my friends here are my partners and theyre going to be pirates with me!
Spaz puts his hand on his head. "Okay. Ah heard you got off a train, which indicates that you ain't from from around here. That also shows that you don't have or belong to a ship, not to sound lahke a snob or nothin'." Twisting the ball on his libre piercing, he asks "Where are you from?"
"Well then, would you mind if you I joined you?" Clayton asked.
Clayton thought to himself, "Well I don't think he's a bad guy. It may be interesting to see what this kid can do." Clayton extended his hand in a friendly fashion. Out of the corner of his eye he looks at the female fox who Alliandra. "She may have a ship since the kid may not have one." he thought to himself.
"He's from thuh local funny-farm, that's where!" Kari growled, folding her arms across her chest as well. "And for the last TIME, I am not ya partna! I barely even met ya!" She added, turning to Leon with an exhasperated look on her face.
She was beginning to get uncomfortable with these strangers, afraid she might let slip that she was actually a mercenary, passing through for supplies. Sure, jobs with good pay were getting even harder to find (those who were used to hiring lackies actually got off their butts and did it themselves) but she wasn't desperate enough to go with...with him. Kari cast another annoyed look at Leon.
"Listen, Ah got a ship that'll take you anywhere on the great seas. If you need someone to take you on the seas, I'll do it, but for a price. Ah hope you got an allowance kid." He gave a smug look at the cat and shot him a smile, thinking he might finally get some money for once. He'd take anything now. He was desperate.
What? You want to join us?! Leon shouted out ins surprise as his face transformed into a large smile. Wahoo! Yay! Leon said, dancing around on the spot, before finally stopping completely still, and then casting a strange glance at Clayton, his mouth pursed out in a small o. But didnt you say you were a pirate haunter? Doesnt that mean youre going to haunt yourself?
Leon scratched his ear in confusion at Claytons remark, but nonetheless he was pleased he had got a third partner, even though in actually Clayton was his first one. It seemed that Leon had conveniently not heard Karis remark and didnt respond to it, other then look to her and smiled with a laugh as she gave him an annoyed look which he thought funny, although he did turn to Spaz and had decided to answer his question. I came from this really, really cool village not too far from it! Its amazing. To-Ta-Tunyar, I think it was called. Or was it Tenyar? I forget.
Leon laughed it off, as he waved as well at it, almost dismissing it after feeling it wasnt very important. He then placed a finger to his chin as if considering what Spaz had also said he didnt already have a ship. He had just figured he would come and things would work themselves out, like they normally did. Then, he had suddenly had a brain wave, and smacked his fist against his open palm, again to emphasise his thoughts.
But our partner Alliandria knows how to get one, right? She already had a ship, so it must be easy! And you've got a ship, haven't you?" Leon then pointed towards the Bat, Spaz. Leons smile widened as well, and then, he realized something else. To him, everyone that was around in this scene was his partner apart from Spaz he didnt want to put the Bat down and he seemed cool enough. He looked very mysterious and even had a sword as well, which was great! Although they didnt meet very well, at any rate he asked: Mr. Spaz, do you want to be our partner too?
Already Leon had considered he had four partners, and in only a short time already from arriving in the town port, when in actuality all that was certain was Clayton, the mysterious Pirate Haunter, which still confused the cat.
OOC: Uhh Pachamac, you may have some srious editing to do. Spaz is the one who joinedm not Clayton. Sorry.
Clayton smiled. "Well, as I said there are variations to what a pirate You seem like the good guy kind of pirate. So I would be honored to be one of your partners." he replied.
Clayton looked at Kari. He sensed she was very tense about everything that was happening. "There's more to her than meets the eye." Clayton thought. He then looks at Alliandra. She had a confused look on her face.
"Looks like you have been recruited. What you say? You in?" Clayton asked her.
OOC: supershadow70, Clayton did ask to join Leon
OOC: Really? My mistake there... didn't Clayton just ask to join their group? I thought Spaz didn't say he would join yet or anything?
Kari and Alliandria haven't said anything about joining either, and Kari's refused. I thought Clayton was the only one who actually asked to join?
There are edits which I need to do and Ill just be doing them in a sec, but I cant see anywhere that actually says Spaz wanted to join them yet. Theres mistakes about Spaz having already given his name and that hes got a ship let me edit them, and if you can point out where Spaz says hell join, Id be grateful.
EDIT:
I've edited areas which I thought needed correction such as mentioning that Spaz has a ship and corrected that Leon knew his name, but I still can't see where Spaz has said he'll join. 
EDIT 2
I thought so.
ooc: no Clayton did ask to join
OOC: I made a post earlier. Ignore it. I'll just go with this. I like it better.
IC:
"Ah s'pose you guys are gonna do better with me with you. Hmm... Yeah, Ah'll join. Bah the way, I got stash of weapon supplahs hidden. Ah figure we'll be needin' em."
He remembered the kid saying something about the Pearl of Order. He heard alot of rumors about that thing. Every pirate he knew was out to get that thing. This was his chance to prove his reputation as a pirate, and make a little money maybe.
He puts his hand out to the little tabby cat.
"Partnership?"
Yes! Leon shouted as he jumped into the air, excited. His jump was a little higher then what should have otherwise been possible, and this made the others look to him in a strange and curious manner. How could he do that?
Once Leon landed on the ground, he quickly extended his hand and grasped Spazs, shaking it up and down wildly while smiling more and more. Yay! Partner, partner, partner! And a ship, too! His smile beamed more as he continued dancing on the sot.
I only just got here but already Ive got four partners and a ship! Wahoo!
Clayton looked the two ladies. One seemed on edge and the other was confused about what was going on. Clayton chuckled to himself. "These young ladies have no idea what they just walked into." he thought.
Clayton had noticed the unusally high jump from the kid. His eyes widened a little, but went unnoticed by the others because his hat cover his eyes. "This kid has a Pearl of Wisdom. But then again who doesn't now a days." he thought.
"Well Ah got guns, cannonballs, an stuff lahke that for defense, but Ah ain't got no food or nothin'. Whaddya propose we do 'bout that? Anyone got any money?"
Clayton looked at Spaz, "I have money. I can get the supplies we would need." he replied.
Clayton was still unfamiliar with this town. "I would have to know where to go to get the supplies and I do need to know what dock the ship is in." Clayton said.
"Whoa, whoa, hold on a minute buddy. We still ain't got the okay from these two." He looks at the girls. "An opportunity of a lifetime ladies. Whaddya say, huh?"
