GM is JadenMental and USSRGirl

The year is 1985. The Bluebird, the pride of the Mediterranean sea has embarked on its most prestigious journey ever. With it carrying some of the wealthiest people alive. It is embarking on a journey from Istanbul to Rome. Its crew is filled with some of the most prestigious entertainers in the world, the guest’s promises to be of some of the most colorful assembly available. However, as fate has it that this vessel is heading to a fog of trouble, it also has it that someone on this ship has less noble intentions.
The ship has been under construction for several years with only the most decorated designers and architects hired to oversee its construction. Its engines are praised as the most reliable and efficient one that can be found. The interior is of a Victorian design which includes the regular rooms which has quite a high quality. The suits are unmatched in terms of magnificence and size as they feature several rooms. The grand hall is where most people who don’t have pressing issues find themselves during the day. It is close to the bar which features only the best available drinks. It has a 5 star restaurant and every member is invited to eat there at 6’o clock. Two menus are available, the regular menu which does not require payment, and the special menu which requires quite a bit of payment. Chefs from around the world, Italian, French, Indian, American and Japanese have the equipment to tend to everyone’s hearts desires. There is no denying the Grade A health service onboard as it has expert doctors with emergency facilities should they be needed. On the deck there is a large pool which is inside of a glass wall so that it is available during both the day and the night. It also has a easily accessible security station inside the boat where the hired help as well as the official officers both live and work most of the time. There also is the casino which is where bets as far up to millions of dollars can be waged. The Bluebird has only the best security that any nation has to offer inside as private contractors have been hired to see that everything goes smooth and without trouble. With each hallway so full of artistic masterpieces and each corner of the ship so carefully gone through, one might wonder what on earth could disturb the waves in such an ocean of peace?

The ones which fate has it will be deeply involved in the coming tragedies, drama, romance and action are listed as the following.

All locked characters are not available for use. Pick your character, if you are the murderer, you will receive a pm. YOU ARE BY NO MEANS ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE YOUR IDENTITY AS A MURDERER UNLESS YOU ARE GIVEN A NOTICE BY A GM. Try your best to keep your true identity hidden,

Will the sea of chances gift you with a voyage towards success and truth, or will the waves of confusion drown you. There are many ways this can end and I wish you all luck in finding out the truth regarding the mystery.

Take into consideration that some of these characters are rich while some are very poor, so if you choose a poor character then you won't be able to buy a great deal of things, but you can always try to get some from the richer rpers. Fraud and stealing is more than welcome on this rp, but play too reckless and you might find your character in a very uncomfortable position.

*is most definitely in*

Now to choose a character...hmmm...I'm going to do something different...very different. I have decided to choose the character I am going to play by throwing there names into a hat/bag and choosing one at random. And the winner is...

Lisa Gem?! WHAT THE...oh well...I guess this is what I get for choosing a character at random...

Alright, a notice for you all. Temmy *USSRGirl* will probably be away for the next two weeks or so, so I won't air the rp until that*

If alot of characters get taken, or if you want to join, but can't find a fitting character, send me a pm and we will work something out.

Ooook.

*Is going to use Danny Delisa*

Yeppers, I'll be on sporadically for the next few days, then off until the week after, but you can start it up without me as long you clue me in on the events.

Oh yes... I get an elite character (one that may sound familiar, but I never really got to use him last time... and he was way cool)...

Subject Name: Nefaren Alexander
Age: 30
Height: 5'9
Weight: Thin, lanky... like someone who lives in a stolen shopping cart and exists mainly off of black coffee and alchohol.
Eye Color: Teal
Physical Description: Scruffy beard, scraggly hair, torn finger gloves, smells like he hasn't bathed in years. Usually has a stupid grin on his face. Looks younger than he is. Carries a switchblade in his pocket.
Bio: Nefaren Alexander (no one knows whether or not this is actually his real name, not that it matters much) is a keen observer of life, a philosopher in his own element who roams the city streets under the unassuming guise of your average bum. Though he's never worked a real job in his life, he quite skilled at inventing catchy cardboard signs with cryptic proverbs that invoke the curiosity of city dwellers who in turn oblige by tossing a couple bucks in his shopping cart (Walmart model). He may seem harmless on the exterior, but he'll change his carefree nature in a flash if highway patrol or rival bums try to shove him off his territory. He votes Libertarian. How Nefaren made it onto the cruise ship is a mystery in of itself.

^__^ He returnssss!

RL, that'd probably be okay so long as you run it by the thread first with a bio (nothing too out of world context - i.e. no rabid, mutant silver-haired beings from another dimension).

May I be Irene Jones? :3

And a question, are we limited to choosing one of the given characters? If so, can we play multiple characters after choosing one if we create the second one?

Up to three characters sounds okay to me so long as you can man them.
You can make your own characters as long as you PM it to the GMs or post it for approval here (but we do need folks to take the prewritten ones...).
