Player Controlled Marines

[Lady Warlock]

What is This?

This page contains additional rules and requirements for players seeking to create characters that are marines. The first thing that will be made known is that the player controlled marine system is a TRIAL SYSTEM. For now, the rp will be trying it out and working through it and it is subject to change or vanish at any time. Complaints in regards to changes or elimination will not be tolerated. Below are the additional rules. Please note that everything in The Pirate Code still applies and all these rules are in addition to the ones listed there.

Rules and System Explanation

1. Player controlled marines are not intended to become main characters for any player.
   
   
   
2. Player controlled marine characters will not constantly be present or active within the IC. The system will work in such a way that when your created marine is needed for something plot related, you will receive a PM with the orders for your submitted marine telling you where your character received orders to go and what they were asked to do.
   
   
   
3. Player controlled marine characters will only be used when any one of or more of the three main crews the story follows encounter marines. Seeing as marines will not be in every story arc, there will not always be opportunities for players to utilize their created marines. Similarly, not every player controlled marine will be sent in every time one crew encounters marines.
   
   
   
4. Any player asking when they are going to get to use their marine character will have their marine character promptly deleted and any further submissions will be automatically declined. The story follows pirates, not marines.
   
   
   
5. The higher your requested rank, the more detail and originality the CS requires. You may not submit a character with a rank higher than Captain, and the only captains accepted will be those that are evidently highly thought out. If you only write the minimums for length, the highest rank you will receive is a Petty Officer.
   
   
   
6. Anytime a player controlled marine engages a player controlled pirate in combat, the result of the combat if not agreed upon between the players involved will be up to GM discretion with NO ARGUMENTS accepted on either side.
   
   
   
7. As this is a trial system, there is a limit of one marine per player.
   
   
   
8. To create a marine character, post the character's CS. In the title, include the term Marine in brackets before the name of the character.
