This is supposed to be an epic sea and land roleplay. It was intended to be in a Fire Emblem setting, but the landscape is crappy. A big island isn't going to cut it.
So, it is based onto the lands of RuneScape.

It is the year 1803 in the lands of Gielenor. Nine years before, a Spanish explorer arrived on the shores of our lands, bringing gifts, weaponry, and excellent new ship designs. Now, nine years later, they're back. Adventurers on Karamjan ferry docks saw a ship in the fog... and another, and another. An armada of ships. The unorganized Karamja and it's pirates fell in less than a day.

Sometime later, a Spanish warsloop, thinking it could take Karamja's neighbor, Thorgie Hills, sailed into Frelia bay and was blasted to tinderwood by waiting magi. The Spanish armada then fell back to Karamja, and islands further out in the Nearch sea, ones that Gielenor's adventurers had not discovered.

Thorgie hills, at that time, was developing ship building. Infact, they have studied this so much, the craftsmenship of the builders rivaled current vessels in England. Thorgie hills had a small fleet, which they pitted against the Spanish armada. Using Guerilla tactics, they sunk several small warships. However, their luck went awry when the Spanish flagship sailed up to the little fleet. It's thick hulls repelled cannonballs. The Thorgie fleet was all but wiped out. Shipbuilders were racing to create new vessels.

Shortly afterwards, the Aquilian Crownship Silver Dawn with the royal fleet, arrived from it's trip from Mos Le' Harmless. The captain turned back to Mos Le' Harmless after surveying the situation. The Aquilian fleet was too small to battle Spain. Aquilia turned to the adventurers of the lands to help.

Shortly after the request for help, England and the Black Fang stuck their noses into the frey, increasing Gielenor's dilema.

-Re-Cap of past events- For new/returning roleplayers
A decision was made to sail the Elimine's Pride and another ship to Britain. After much effort, they reached England. Lute and her companions recieved help from the King of England, and the fleet grew. The group splurged on new items in England, and shortly after, set sail. The fleet was then ambushed by a Spanish fleet. The what is now named United Fleet snuffed out the attack with few casualities, but the Black Fang Ship, the Eriskigal is back once again. We are currently battling it. Ephidel and the few men he had attacked the HMS Victory, population 3,000+. The battle was essentially a slaughter and only around 300 men survived. The Admiral of the Fleet has been captured, and Ephidel has created a spell, and now all the dead (2,700+) are attacking the survivors, and the crew of the Reaper, whom defied orders and boarded the ship. Commander Charles is currently holding position in two areas on deck B2, but is being held off by a former Lieutenant. Simon is in the middle of this, and troops are attempting to move in to save a few magi and Simon. Up on deck, things are not faring well, and a several fires had to be extinguished. People in lockdown are safe, but are uneasy. The ship is at critical condition, and orders have been given to the fleet to rush the flagship and save it.

Excellent information on ships used in this roleplay.
The continent of Gielenor

About: Nothing to explain, tbh. Also known as RuneScape. Consists of the primary countries Asgarnia, Kanderin(wrong spelling), and Misthalin.

Asgarnia

Home of the "White Knights". Capitol city is Falador.

Kanderin

Lands of the West. Capitol city is Ardougne.

Misthalin

Central lands. Capitol City is Varrockia.

The continent of Lycia
About: Lycia is an island continent. It is divided into six countries. I will only explain four for now. The people of this continent typically use a different type of Magic. The Magic is imbued into tomes, wands, and staves instead of runestones, a more volatile form of storing magic. Runestones decay after a single use. Lycian made magical weapons maintain the Magic for many more uses. Oddly enough, the Holy Cross of the Unknown world negates this Magic as well as Runestones. This effect will only happen if the cross comes in close contact with a magical item or user. Some powerful magi can overcome this, however.

Thorgie HillsA country facing the coast of Asgarnia. More to come. The mage country of Lycia. The leader is very open in his love of animals and nature. A popular tourist vacation country because of it's lush landscape and exotic animals.

Aquilia
The country facing out to the vast sea. Currently has the only fleet in Gielenor. More to come. Aquilia has the worst military force of all the countries. In the past years, they have been trying to make up for that deficit by intensly researching ancient magics, shipbuilding, and defenses. The castle capitol of Aquilia, Haven, was completed just over nine months ago. It is currently the most fortified city in Gielenor. The main body of the fleet is docked in Mos' Le Harmless, but much of the fleet is in a naval battle off the cost of Europe.

Renais
The peninsula country of Lycia. The country of Renais is well balanced in it's resources, making it a decent exporter of goods. They export fish, maple syrup, ores, and even fine arts.

Archanea
The holy kingdom of Lycia. It was one of the first established countries on the continent.

Other Places
Other places in the world.

England
Seriously, if you don't know what England is... Anyway, Google it.

Spain
The current main antagonist of this Role-play. We are currently locked in a naval battle with one of their fleets.

Race: goblin
Country of Origin: Lumbridge, RuneScape
About yourself: He is the captain of the Silver Dawn
Other: ????

Hmm... I accept your application, but I'm afraid I have to turn down your request for the Silver Dawn's position. I'm not saying it's a bad application, but I've seen some extremely in-depth application. I want the Silver Dawn's captain to be a interesting character. Think of a name for your ship, and statistics; I advise you to do some research on what kind of ship you want. (Ex. Sloop, frigate, caravel)
Oya, I've decided to give another person a chance for a ship. It wouldn't really fit the story with three ships at the start.

Name: Shaipie24
Class: Look out
Appearence: Normal human look, but has red eyes.
Personality: A very watchful person who does not like to lose because his captain wants to win every battle possible.
Weapons: Musket with bayonet, and the old pirate binauculars.
Race: Human/demon
Country of Origin: Varrock Runescape.
Other: Works on a frigate.

I was in a hurry, since I had made a seemingly better application in computer class but I quickly closed the page because a teacher was coming to see my work. If I make another application, may I have a chance of becoming the captain?

Names cannot contain numbers.

Jake, perhaps you might. So yes, please make another.

Does that mean i can't join anymore?

I simply advise you to re-write your name. If you'd like, make the application better.

Name: Davy
Class: Look out
Appearence: Normal human look, but has red eyes.
Personality: A very watchful person who does not like to lose because his captain wants to win every battle possible.
Weapons: Musket with bayonet, and the old pirate binauculars.
Race: Human/demon
Country of Origin: Varrock Runescape.
Other: Works on a frigate

...Davy. How generic. -_-

So....... Am I in?

What do you think...?
Give me... a decent... Name...!

I'll take that as a yes.
Ok.
Name: Bersreker

Really now, me asking for a decent name is a yes?

No.
My new name will be Berserker as I mentioned before.

Try not to one word post, and I'll accept Bersreker.

Ok

Oi! Why do you do the opposite of whatever I say?
I need a few more applications before I can start and choose a captain, etc, etc. I'm currently working on the countries of Lycia.

Oh ok sorry.

Applications

Name: Penguinous
Class: Mage
Appearance: Red, orange mohawk, white stomech, firey red eyes. White belly, just like a normal Penguin.
Personality: When I get angry, I don't let you have a nice day. Normally a nice Penguin.
Weapons/armour: A cape of fire, and a flame dagger
Race: Penguin.
Country of Origin: Anaractica.
About yourself: I am a "Penguin Mage" I am the penguin of fire. My father lived in the core of the earth, but later moved into the sun.
Other: I have magical fire powers.

Hmm... An odd application. By class, I meant occupation. I might accept you if you go in-depth on how you will benefit the fight against Spain.

Name: Jarvog 'Knithral
Class: Ship Captain
Appearance: Though he is a goblin, he is quite taller and more muscular. He also stands straight like humans.
Personality: Jarvog is very blunt and hates 'small talk'. He is the type of person that will get to the point and it's often perceived as 'rude', though it isn't his intention. He is quite calm most of the time but is possesed by brute violence when provoked.
Weapons/armour: He wields a runite scimitar. He doesn't wear any armour, just a blue tunic, leggings, and a silver cape.
Race: goblin
Country of Origin: He once lived in the surrounding areas of Port Sarim
About yourself: Jarvog was the youngest of the chieftain of goblins in that region. One day a group of human adventurers held a raid on the surrounding areas of Port Sarim, were Jarvog and his family lived. Jarvog fled to Port Sarim and was adopted by Branwen, a maiden who took pity on the poor goblin infant. She raised him like any other child and was sent to work on a ship, The Silver Dawn, were he became captain after defeating Johness, the former captain, in a duel. Over the years he has earned total respect over his crew.
Other: Jarvog acts like a human and he is quite ashamed of his goblin blood.

Better?

What do you mean by ocupation?


By the way I do know how to speak Spanish and English. I am a powerhouse

You mispelled 'Antartica'. I find it quite odd that you're a penguin...

I must say, that's an excellent application. I'll have to compair the applications if more come in.

Ahh maybe I'm not very good at spelling?

AM I IN OR NOT?

Well, speaking Spanish and English doesn't help much. I want to know what role you will play in this roleplay. You told your background, yes, but... I need more detail.

EDIT: sorry don't mind this post, I made a mistake.

I think I understand what you are talking about after re-reading your first post of the story. Ok, I can help keep the ship in shape, and burn coal to keep it moving. Then when we get into fights or anything I will help.

Maybe this will clear it up a bit?

Making your character seamlessly put into the story. I don't know how to fit a magical penguin into a roleplay such as this without a proper explaination.

Am I accepted?

Jake, you're accepted, but still considering Royal captain-ness. Penguin has been accepted.

Name:Falzar Thunderwing
Class: Mage/ Diplomat
Appearance:A lng, sleek white and blue robe, rather tall for his age, and sandy brown hair and blue eyes.
Personality: Very freindly, usually works well with people, but he can have his dark side.
Weapons/armour: A long sword with flame dancing around it.
Race:Human
Country of Origin: Gleinor, Varrok
About yourself:A freindly child, he often tried to make freinds, but also had a intrest in arcane powers when he was six.
Other: Speicalizes in wind magic.

Can I captain a ship? If so, is there some from I should fill out?

Yay. Happy to be the ship's coal boy and or cleaner

Well, Falzar, I suppose it's an in-depth explaination on how/why/should your character be Royal Captain.

My character loses all his interesting-(ness??) if he isn't captain, so I'l wait until it's decided before actually ICing.

Alright. If you're not accepted as captain, I could easily change the name of the ship you're on/captaining.

BUT I WANNA BE CAPN ON SILVER DAWN IT SOUNDS KEWL.

I don't see how anyone else could out-application me (wtf??), so we'll have to wait and see

Aw...You so should have gone with the FE setting!

I might take an FE character or two as well . I hope to see some FE cameos

Name: Gerik
Class: Ranger
Appearance: Gerik from FE8 (The Sacred Stones)
Personality: Friendly, warm-hearted
Weapons/armour: A steel sword and silver bow.
Race: Human
Country of Origin: Jehanna (if not allowed, then...meh.)
About yourself: Gerik is from a far off land, along with his friend, Marisa. The two were part of a great war, though few know about it in the local area. He joined the forces of Aquila, hoping to make some cash (he is a mercenary.) Although he hasn't been with them for long, he has already become a great asset.
Other: Marisa is the same as from FE8. Hope you let that go by .

Hope this RP goes well. I'll read through it quick.

EDIT: Meh, I can't do Gerik his rightful justice. Hope to see him make a cameo. Give me a sec to reapp.

Name: Ephdel
Class: Diplomat/ Sniper
Appearance: Long black cloak trimmed with gold, short black hair, gold eyes, fair skin. about 6'2". Little build.
Personality: Quiet. Sometimes dark.
Weapons/armour: Wears a gold-trimmed red jacket under his cloak, although it does him little good. Weilds a silver bow, though normally doesn't use it. Keeps a thin silver dagger on him.
Race: Morph
Country of Origin: N/A
About yourself: It's Ephdel from FE7! I like him he's cool. Go Black Fang!
Other: Claims to be from Lycia. Seems to be hiding many things. Rarely removes his black cloak, let alone its hood.

I don't mind Jehanna. I'm still filling in countries for Lycia.

so am I in? I mean as the lookout?

Berserker: Accepted.
I've changed the warship's guns. After some looking, the average Flagships guns are 100+.
Honestly now, I need people who are willing to be ship captains. There's on two at the moment. I need two more to start. >:o

...Is my new app accepted?

If you want, I can pilot a ship and have it filled with mist and monsters and such....Y'know.....like a ship of the dead?

The Black Fang!

Accepted. By the way, it's Ephidel.
Yes, I like the idea of a Black Fang ship. No monsters, however. Just Black Fang. I suppose you'll be neutral until something comes up. Ship specs, please?

Huh....Is it Ephidel?

I have the guide for FE7, and it claims Ephdel.....twice. I like the name Ephidel better, but I dunno....I'll check around. Maybe we'll know for sure later.

Hmm...I suck at ship specs.....Just think a slow moving rotting ship with no weapons on it besides a rusted Ballista at the center of it. Most of the Black Fang (everyone in the Final Chapter besides Nergal) would most likely be on it, as they are in the Final Chapter, reanimated corpses. If not....meh. Either way, I suck at Ship Specs(again) though I'll try to figure it out....It move's somewhat slowly....No weapons besides the Ballista (Hey, when you've got the Black Fang on board, you don't need weapons ) and it's rotting....and surrounded by fog.

Get your torches out, Matthew, Legault, Rennac....Colm.....Jaffar.....And....um...all other Thieves, Rouges, and Assassins from the FE games???

I'll put it down as a warsloop. Definetly not a ship of the line. I'll be needing a name. Oya, I like the reanimated corpse thing, but not the whole crew. That'd be a drag, nobody'll speak.
It's confirmed Ephidel, in mah game.

...And Cath, and Soth, and...

....I only rented the Dawn of Radiance, so I forgot about Sothe...and I can't remember who Cath is....Though I probably should....alright then....

I was guessing it was Ephidel, though I wasn't sure because of the guide. How the heck is the guide wrong? Twice? When it only lists his name twice!

Ship Name: Ereshkigal (It's the name of Nergal's magic! ...I got nothin')
Crew: Lloyd, Linus, Ursula, Uhai. (And of course, Ephidel. Though I doubt I'll spend my entire time on the ship.)

Positions:
Lloyd and Linus- In charge of defending the ship and boarding enemy ships
Ursula- Can't think of a word that doesn't sound stupid....She's the essential weapon of the ship. She fights any opponents with magic from the ship.
Uhai- Co-captain (When Ephidel is gone, Uhai's captain.)
Ephidel- Manages Ballista, Captain

...Meh. It's something at least. Anyways, I doubt Ephidel will be on the ship too often.

Alrighty. Btw, Cath is from FE6...

I am hoping you are still accepting apps... The title says so...


Name: Valetin
Class: Swordsman
Appearance: Black hair, just below his ears. Brown eyes, and green shoes. (clothes in armour section)
Personality: Dark and reserved. Is a nomad and fights for money, or other valuables. Can change sides quicker than you can blink if he's offered more money. Has no consionce and is hard to track down. He ends up finding you.
Weapons/armour: Black armour covering his chest and legs. Is nearly inpenetrable by arrows and is hard to break with swords. It was made by ancient ancestors of his family and is one of the four known by his people to have a special abililty. Wears a hood, that in the shade, you cant see his face.
Race: Unknown (not human I can tell you that)
Country of Origin: N/A
About yourself: Used to be cheerful until his village was plundered by goblins in a mass raid. The goblins discovered the four magic armour sets hidden in his village and Val managed to save one. The four armour colours are, red, blue, black and white. The armour he managed to retreive gives the wearer extremely good skills in whatever weapon is weilded. He would be, while wearing the armour, considered in the top ten swordsmen in the world.
Other: Has a thing for goblins. Whenever he sees one, he kills it.

Ah. So You'll have a grudge against the captain. Btw, do you want a ship?
