Welcome to the Nautilus! (Recruitment)

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Welcome to the Nautilus

Twelve of these scrolls were sent out by Elena Nemo the eccentric actress famous for her roles in action-adventure films and doing her own stunts. Though her movies are her claim to fame, Elena harbors a much bigger secret. She is the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter of the famous Captain Nemo, yes that Captain Nemo. The man in all of Jules Vernes novels had been a real man and his ship, the Nautilus had been a real one.

One of the best kept secrets when Elena's mother passed away six months ago, she passed the secret of the Nautilus on to her daughter who spent the following five months bringing the Nautilus up to the twenty-first century deep in international waters were no one would find it. That secret wasn't the only one that her mother passed on to her though. Elena was also given Captain Nemo's log. His journal that he kept his entire life logging the different treasures he knew about, transported, or had his suspicions of. Elena doesn't want to be an actress who plays an adventurer. Elena wants to BE an adventurer. Scouring the globe she has sent out these scrolls to her perspective crew hoping to lure them into the adventure of a lifetime.


What I am looking for here is 3-5 people to join Elena’s crew. This is meant to be an adventure game where the crew are tracking down the impossible. Whether it be in the sea within the nautilus, in perilous jungle, or blistering heat, is up to us, though preferably, ALL of the options.

I will be playing the role of Elena, the eccentric actress and ship’s captain. I have been in communication with Blythe who is also interested in playing a role. Elena has invited all these people because of the skills that they provide. Some potential roles we could have filled.

Elena Nemo

Name: Elena Nemo

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Pansexual

Role: Captain – The Eccentric

Personality: Elena is in a word happy. Vivacious, optimistic, and unrelenting. Elena is a take charge kind of woman who is determined to meet her goals. Elena feels that anything can be done with hard work and a positive attitude.

History: The Nemo name has been passed down to daughters for the past five generations and as such some claim that the name is cursed before of Jonathan Nemo who was rumored to have found the Book of Solomon. Coming from old money, Elena was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and the tails of wonder and glory. Though she had no way of knowing it at the time, Elena had been read stories of her great-grandfather’s adventures from his journal.

Elena began her acting career at a young age, gaining more wealth on top of what her family already had. Elena’s older brother John, named after Jonathan Nemo, left six months before their mother passed away supposedly to look for the Philosopher’s stone to heal their mother. Elena disagreed with her mother, no one should try and cheat death it was a natural part of the life cycle. Elena’s brother didn’t make it back at all and their mother passed away.

After learning about the Nautilus Elena received an anonymous package in the mail. A compass carved from ornate steel like she had never seen covered in runes and a note that said, ‘find me’. Elena recognized her brother’s handwriting but didn’t recognize the artifact that had been sent to her. It took her months of research to discover it was Vegvisir. A Norse compass that scholars had theorized hadn’t been a ‘real’ compass but a symbol used to prevent one from losing their way.

Alignment: Elena is perhaps naïve, but ultimately good

I'm quite interested, I love this sort of thing. Trying to decide which role to pitch for, but Mechanic or Archaelogist seem the most interesting (though I freely admit to knowing little about the subjects)

[Matttheman89]

I'll throw my hat in the ring for the muscle/first mate.

[Blythe]

Interested! Tentatively eyeballing the Oceanographer/Marine Biologist role :)

[Kadigan]

I just kicked an Archaeologist profile over to Ambrosia, didn't know if we were to PM or post them here. 

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I'm fine with either posting them here or sending them in a p.m.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

I would like everyone to know that the listed ideas for crew members are suggestions that I have from watching a plethora of treasure hunting movies my whole life. If you would like to come up with a character with a different profession that would still be valuable, please feel free!

What sort of time period are we talking about, pre or post Smartphone era? I've got some knowledge about cars and the mechanic role is something I think I can do.

It's post smartphone Era. As far as technology that we KNOW about think the kind you have available to you now.

That's giving me a loooooot of power.

Yes and no. After all game development is important. We don't want characters that have all the gadgets and things from the beginning. That takes away from the fun for others. No one is good at everything.

Of course, was more referring to building the stuff for the crew though.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with as a character.

Hi there! This looks like a fun little group and I'd love to take part. Do you all still have room for a neurotic mechanic?

I have someone currently who has put in a request for the mechanic and is simply tweaking their character sheet. 

I'm going to shoot you a PM. 

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Unfortunately we had a player who had to drop the game. So the game is open to 1 character. Gender does not matter but the character will be taking on the roll of the Archeologist type character. Please let me know if you're interested. 

[BlueEyedBard]

Hello, I'd like to type up an archeologist!
I'll see about building them up and getting sent your way, Ambrosia
