You received a slip of parchment in the mail within the last year. You recognise the wax seal, Expeditions Prospering, a silvery wax with a diamond, in the center an E, and arrow as the horizontal lines.
Dear __________! Xen, 27, 3Axx1
First of all, I wanted to thank you humbly for opening this letter! Ha! With the mechs and techs so advanced these days it's a wonder anybody has time to sit and look at a piece of fancy smelling paper.
You just sniffed the paper didn't you! Haha!!
Allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Gerald Harmmish. I am the founder and retired director of the researching, exploring, scientific and anthropological organisation known as Expeditions Prospering. I am nearing the end of my life, but that does not mean my hefty helping of curiosity has diminished.
All my life, I have studied cultures, religions, legends, lore, and people all across the world. The one legend that has yet to satisfy my ending searchings: the Lost City of Vesi. There's not even that much solid proof that this exists, it's said to be one of the most mysterious culture and city in the world; why, it's a legend of course!
In my more active days, I would have boarded my ship myself with a few of my trusted friends and colleagues to set out to find the sunken city and civilisation myself. Alas, nearing four and a half centuries worth of dust has worn out my gears...
That is where you come in, my good friend! You have been given the highest of recommendations to me, Gerald, by any of my colleagues spreading the Country of Escain! I wish for you to carry out my adventure and face the dangers and thrills of the oceans to find the lost city hidden somewhere in the Karkinoah Sea! A team has been specifically crafted with your talents, abilities, and skill in tow. You and only five others have been chosen amongst thousands of recommended and applied pupils for such a quest as this! Congratulations for the highest honor!
There is danger of course, and a chance that this legend is only that: a legend. After four years of a wild-goose chase, or a successful find of the city, you may return to home base at the EP Institutes, where you will be eagerly awarded and compensated a whopping twenty million pikels! (That's 6.8 hundred thousand foudries for you Glakien folk). If you happen to bring back more than proof of the legend, such as more knowledge or artifacts or texts or technology, you will be rewarded no less than 2 million pikels for the content!
Not only will the money and journey be reward enough for you youngsters, but the adventure! Friendships! Thrill! Knowledge! You gain along the way will be tremendous to not only yourself but the lives you return to!
If you accept my offer, please show up in person (spiritually, physically, mentally) to [this address] at the hiney white crack of dawn on Fell 18, 3Axx2. Aka Home Base! EP Institutes! You're going to be on a ship for four years, but don't worry, there will be plenty of islands to explore and conquer along the way for food and refreshing your needs.
If you reject: what a loser! Who would give up an exceptional offer such as this! Don't worry. Just say [this chant] and this parchment will burn up in your hands and your name removed from our roster!
I hope to see you all bright and early on Fell 18, 3Axx2!
With deep appreciation and curiosity!
Humbly yours,
Dvk. Gerald Harmmish III
Director and Founder of EP
And at the bottom of the letter, next to his signature, Harmmish doodled a little winking face with a beard giving a thumbs up.

Hello. I have waited for so long for the time to sit down and write this. I started an RP similar with a single partner of mine but they're a bit sporadic in replies and I want to try a more organised group RP.
- This quest is akin to a journey to find Atlantis. Your character receives a letter in the mail from a benefactor (Gerald Harmmish III) to go and find this lost city in the sea. You will be on a large boat for a long time and encounter things such as pirates, mermaids, other sea creatures, weird islands, and over all dealing with the other crew mates. The setting of the world is in a sort of steampunk/industrial era, so quite advanced in technologies as well as magics. Races of all kinds exist, (orc, dragon-born, any dnd type race, mythical, etc. my guy is part fish so) and any sort of (reasonable) magic is permitted.
I will have my own character and be interacting within the RP as well as above it. I will be guiding the quests as well as writing all the NPCs and most of the plot. Don't worry! You can write plenty of plot too! I don't plan on being over bearing only like * here comes a swarm of bees wat do u do *
whoops did I mention this is kinda based off of TAZ stolen century arc?? - My character is a "mermaid" boy, but not a mermaid, more like a fish human? Anyways. He's the cook/handyman/inventor of the journey.
Here are the roles I would like to be played, meaning I will only be accepting 5 people. :
- T
he Captain "The Brave" The Chronicler "The Smart"The Fighter "The Strong"The Diplomat "The Peacekeeper"The Magic User(this one is debatable. Magic user could be the fighter, or a healer, or a general user.) I put this here bc in my head the magic user is a healer. my og RP partner was a necromancer so ~
That is not to say, there can only be one magic user. No. Go ham with your magics, but be lesser than the main magic boy so he can have his quirk. - T
- School is starting for me soon and so I won't be able to start this up for a while, but when everyone and everything gets settled, I'd like this to be pretty fast paced, so a couple posts a day in total would be superb.
What I really need is for your posts to be hearty content. That means, it has emotion, action, mental insight to your character, and setting. This doesn't have to every single post, but a good majority. I don't care about the length of you posts as long as they provide something to the RP.
PLEASE HAVE DYNAMIC, ROUND, AND DEVELOPING CHARACTERS. do we need to go back to 8th grade english? no bland, flat, one-sided characters please and thank you very much. I will post a character sheet form once i recruit my players. please please please by all means feel free to make them any sort of LGBTQ and have relationships with one another (;.
This will be very character driven. i dont plan to do much in the ways if GMing
hello. im zed. im 19. im in EST. ive been writing for ~ 6 years. I love fantasy. I love dnd. I love bats. im nonbinary (they/he). i have a random assortment of knowledge about plants. i play tuba. im a full time student.
here is a sample of my work if you are interested- if you are interested in writing along this great adventure with me, please PM me! I will only take a certain number of people and only those roles listed (unless otherwise cleared). I would very much love to see a sample of your writing. and it would be super great if you could provide a little bio about yourself. it would be great if you could also provide a name you prefer, favourite colour, and pronouns!
Since I require some casual-chit-chat, it would be super swell if you could treat the other people like people and not be rude. Don't harm or do anything major with another PC without their permission like kill their character .
