Sign Up/Discussion Summer Scramble Crews RP: YOU ARE A PIRATE

Ace the Pawniard

Age: 17

Skills:
Locksmith - can easily lockpick doors, chests, etc with his knife hands
Sharp Armor - due to basically being made of sharpened metal, bladed weapons don't hurt him much, at the cost of having a weakness to blunt weapons.
Ace can also blunt and sharpen parts of his body at will
Aquaphobia - has a mild fear bodies of water, due to the fact that he is metal and can rust, which results in him not being a strong swimmer either (and yes I am aware of the irony)

Positive Traits:
Kind-hearted
Tries to see the good in everybody
Strong sense of duty

Negative Traits:
Can be too forgiving
Impulsive

Backstory:
Ace was born in deep in the criminal underbelly. Both his parents were members of a very successful and notorious gang, with his father their leader. Ace was raised in this world where you had to steal or even kill to survive. Ace complied throughout his childhood, not wanting to upset his family with his true beliefs. But he always managed to stay more in the background, doing simple burglaries and street thefts. At least, until his father got a little too ambitious and led an armed heist on one of the largest banks in [unnamed country], appointing Ace as his second-in-command. This heist went awry, causing hsis mother to be killed and him to be arrested by the Navy. He was thrown in jail, but quickly escaped with his lockpicking skills. He spent the next few months on the street until a certain Ditto managed to draw him out of hiding. Ace was then given a choice; he could spent the next some odd years in jail, or join the Navy and try to clean up his name. Ace has been with the Navy for the past few years, an advocate for trying to fix the world he was raised in. However, he only recently was put on fleet to defend against pirates.

(sorry if that was too long!)

 

I really like the backstory

 

Is my character going to get along with your character?

 

Probably, he's not the type to seek out conflicts if there's no reason to

 

Are signups still open? I’d love to join another RP! (Totally not in almost a billion already.)

 

Character: Piper the Fletchling

Approximate age: 10 (I can age him up if a bit if needed, too)

Skill(s): Musical talent (EDIT: he can also do simple tasks very quickly, like potato peeling.)
Terrible skills: Piper is easily fooled, and doesn’t know his way around a map. He’s also not the best for battle plans (or battling at that.)

Character traits: Piper is innocent, bubbly and upbeat, and rather brave for someone his size and age. However, he is naive and easily fooled, along even a bit slow at spots. He’s not very strong, but very speedy. Tends to preen a bit, and tries his best to be helpful (although, being tiny and loud, nobody really lets him, as he tends to screw things up) He can also be fiercely loyal to the ones he trusts, and cheers up quickly. Has a permanent sweet tooth (beak).
EDIT: I forgot to mention that Piper is always high on energy. Sorry!

Backstory: Piper was hatched from a lone egg. Not having any actual parents, he would follow random strangers around and get scraps from the kinder ones. He joined Team Crimson (before or during the RP) as it was his first proper home.
It’s not much, but I hope it’s okay!

 

I don’t think we’re using fire arms sic ethers are pirate times.

 

Ace now has a small fear of bodies of water. Oh the irony.

 

We need more Crimson round here .u. And since we don't seem to have a supportive mon on Crimson, I'd gladly take up the role by actually bringing back a character from ages ago that I didn't really ever use.

Spoiler: Character ref

Rhys the Chinchou
Approximate age: 18

Good Skill(s): He has a natural healing ability thanks to his Heal Bell if anyone on the ship gets sick, and can heal wounds if necessary. Also proves to be useful at night due to his ability to illuminate things in the dark. This also helps in a conflict, as this light can blind any enemies should they threaten to close in.

Poor Skills(s): Very, very clumsy. Sometimes he ends up blinding himself when he flashes his light, or bumps into literally everyone if in a rush to heal someone, or knocks a bucket over by accident.

Character traits: Basic personality stuff here
- Positive traits: Surprisingly persistent. Can be both a good thing and a bad thing, but he doesn't give up easily on anybody, even when a situation seems grim. Is also quite upbeat and friendly.
- Negative traits: He apologizes for just about everything, even when he doesn't do something wrong. It's a bad habit developed by his clumsy nature. Also has major self esteem issues, which seems contradictory considering how persistant he is and his upbeat attitude, but he worries that he might screw something up even if he knows what he is doing, but tries to not let anyone know about that.

Backstory: He had a very kind upbringing, mostly by his mother, although his father, despite being more of a Pokémon who liked a good scrap, also encouraged him to help others in his own way. He wanted to have more of an adventurous life growing up, however, and his mom had mostly kept him sheltered. By joining the Crimson Company, he hopes to not only fulfill his dream of having an adventurous life, but also being able to help others with what he brings to the table.

Moves: Heal Bell / Flash / Electro Ball / Bubble Beam

 

I’m updating Piper!
EDIT: Done! Now he can’t use a map, a sword, or make calculations!

 

Samson's been updated!

 

Shadow has been updated but I might go back and change something later. (It's too early for me to think clearly.)
