Topic: Any adventuruous male pirates on the prowl? ;; A Mermaid Story

[Caeli]

First: If sex = your main objective, you need not look further. I have a craving for a rather substantial story at the moment.

Second: I openly admit to being picky about my partners. See my ONs-&-OFFs for more details about my roleplaying preferences, and feel free to browse through my active roleplays for examples of my writing style and post length.

Third: I am wary of accepting requests from new members - in my past experience, many of them end up disappearing from Elliquiy and leave me without a word, partner, or a story. It's frustrating.

Lastly: This is not first come first serve.

If I haven't scared you off yet, please read on. ;3 This is a rather random off-shoot of the idea behind The Little Mermaid.


The Lost Treasure of Dysmeas

A notorious pirate king who sails the seas of Dysmeas has, of late, been finding his recent 'ventures' successful - almost too successful. His experience in his trade of choice is quite impressive - ever since he became captain of his own ship, he has not yet been caught by the Mariner Guards.

In short: he's bored.

Eventually he hears about some mythical treasure that nobody has yet been able to get, and he decides to be the first to have it. The only problems? Not only must he find the Isle of Dysmeas, but he needs a powerful mage's help in retrieving the treasure - and there is no freelance mage powerful enough and generous enough to want to help a pirate captain who is the single most wanted individual by the the Mariner Guards.

To make things even more interesting, treacherous waters (said to be blessed by the gods) surround the isle where the treasure is reputed to be. The treasure is also protected by powerful spells that have thus far killed those few who have managed to get to the island alive.

So he makes a plan.

First, he must kidnap a powerful mage, preferably one he can control.

Second, he must seduce from her the help he requires to attain the lost treasure of Dysmeas, a task more dangerous than either of them have ever attempted.

Of course, mighty pirate lord that he is, he succeeds. And then one night he finds out that she's not human at all... but a mermaid. And he didn't 'kidnap' her - she purposely let herself catch his eye. Because she needs to get to one of those rumored treasures on the Isle for a sea witch, who will grant her humanity so she can become married to a prince that she has fallen in love with.


Notes:

So, I'm looking for a pirate - but not a dirty, uncouth scumbag who does not know the meaning of cleanliness. I see him as someone very intelligent and honorable in his own way, and rebellious against "social norms"... isn't ashamed of himself or his rather illegal profession, and quite used to getting what he wants - women or otherwise. Adventurous, charming, great sense of humor, handsome, amazing in bed... oh wait. xD Those are preferred, but are quite optional.

I don't really have any plans for this story beyond this basic plot. The storyline beyond what is written here is very negotiable, and I'm very open to ideas or suggestions that you might have. I'm also open to new title ideas >_>;

Please PM me if you have questions or are interested.



If this story doesn't appeal... some new story ideas from me include Singers of Cerifa, another fractured fairy tale, and Anonyme, a modern fantasy that takes place in France, amidst cult murders and angels on earth. If you're into romantic, humorous, and historical, I am currently searching for a partner for Flight of Fancy. I would also love to try a steampunk or cyberpunk setting, if you don't mind that I've never done either before. All of my previous conditions also apply. ;]

Here's an Idea, what about a cyber-punk pirate story?
