Premise
You've been selected by the United States government to embark on a journey to the Florida Keys in search for the sunken remains of The April Hawk, a once majestic pirate ship rumored to still be carrying a priceless amount of treasure. The government wants you to return it to them in hopes that it can be put on display in the Smithsonian.
On the day of your departure, you meet the five other crew members who you'll be traveling with and are briefed with details of how The April Hawk sunk. It was late at night in December of 1722; the ship was heading to Newfoundland, Canada, for unknown reasons. A terrible storm struck and the ship sank extremely close to shore; there were only two survivors.
When you depart on a tiny boat, half of the crew members begin to think differently. Why should the government get the treasure? Being from 1722, this stuff must be incredibly valuable. And if you're taking all of the risks, shouldn't you be rewarded? But there's still the other half who wants to honor the government's wishes. And when those who don't announce their intentions, hostilities form. Neither can control the other; they're cramped on a tiny ship, they have no weapons, and they need the knowledge and assistance of each person aboard the crew, otherwise, they would die.
Rules
-This storybook is rated 16+, so minor language, violence, and sexual activity is allowed, but I stress the word minor, so please don't turn this into 18+.
-When the time will inevitably come, don't kill off any characters without their permission and first notifying us in the DT. If you do so you will be kicked from the storybook. This goes for regular changes
-If you have something to say that doesn't have do with your characters, preface it with OOG (Out of Game) or OOC (Out of Character).
-I want to make sure that this is a quality storybook and that the members are committed to it. Because this storybook is limited to six people (3 Black Markets and 3 Smithsonians), I'll be taking character applications in the DT. After a bit I'll announce who got picked and who didn't. Remember that this storybook is limited to six characters, including my own. Multiple people may apply to be captains and navigators, but keep in mind I will be picking one of each. I need at least 3 deckhands. My character is a historical consultant, and that position is not up for grabs. I've listed the requirements as well as the character stencil in the DT.
Good Luck, Everyone! I'll be looking forward to joining you all at sea.
