is your board rated a certain way?
Hi anon! Our board is not jcink premium so there are certain things that aren't allowed, but on the whole we would say we are a mature board: given that blood, language, and general piracy happen on our board!
Friendly reminder tumblr reserves will expire in 2 days!
Tides is officially open!
It's opening day! Check back here around 8:00pm EST for the link, and our official site launch!
Here’s a preview of our miniprofile! The image on the right is the hover, which displays over the image on the left. The dimension for the avatar is 250x450. The sharktopus image on the right is actually a gif which resizes to 180x100. The gif displays best if it is rectangular in shape to begin with!
Also a reminder we are still accepting tumblr face reserves! Reservations will be accepted up until opening day, Sunday the 15th, and will last until Sunday the 22nd!
Just a couple of questions: #1) What happens when two different species have children? Can they have children at all? #2) And would a selkie still be considered a selkie even when they turn mortal? Thank you!
Yes! Mixed breed characters are definitely a possibility. There are few places on the site that ask you to identify your character's species, but when you do you will have to decide which group they should be in. So if a character's say half-elf half-selkie you'll get to choose whether to put them in the selkie or the elf category. Does that make sense? Characters that are half-human and half something else will default to their non-human group.As for Selkie who have lost their skins they would still be considered selkies for all intents and purposes, though they may find it difficult to try to remain in selkie society.
Application
We are excited to announce that Tides will be opening on Sunday, May 15th! As we are gearing up for opening we wanted to release the application so everyone can get started on their characters! You can find the code for the application here.
sakura heffron for icarus?
got it!
Konos
Konos is a newer city, having been founded within the last decade. Its walls are the traditional construct of large, evenly shaped and sharpened logs, packed with mud mixed with ashes. The ashes provide some protection from sprites, though sprites can enter the village if invited by a villager and chaperoned through the wall.
Inside the wall is the city proper, whose buildings are a mix of wooden and stone construction. Some of the buildings, homes especially, were built hastily in order to accommodate the rebels and tribesmen who set up residence within the town. The town hall is a traditional Mirahai long hall, rectangular in shape with a high ceiling and an open pit in which fires can be built as needed.
There is a smaller western-style square right outside of the town hall which hosts the merchants and market within the town, as well as justice and punishment. The roads in the town are gravel, though there has been a push to begin paving the streets. Konos is designed like a wheel: the town hall and square being the center, and the streets poking out from it like the spokes of a wagon wheel.
Konos is situated against cliffs leading to the sea. There are stairs cut in to the cliff side, the main staircase being cut in to the lowest point in the cliff, which is only 30 or so feet above the ocean below. There is a harbor in the ocean below at which the Mirahai long boats and visiting ships are docked. Down in the harbor there is a quay which houses the fish market.
On the other side of the city is untamed jungle, thus the need for the high walls surrounding the city proper. Certain buildings lie outside of the walls, such as the shaman's dwelling and ritual spaces. The dwelling is an earthen hut with a thatched roof, in order for the shaman to connect on a deeper level to nature and natural spirits.
Devon Aoki for Rezina?
sure!
I have a question --- Is this a completely alternate history, or will other parts of the world fall alongside normal historical timeline? Sorry for the constant messages, I'm very excited for this group--- >>
Haha no problem! I hope you don't mind if I publish this, its a great question I'm sure others are wondering too. Tides won't be completely AU, we are taking place alongside some historical events such as the American Revolution. However, we are an au site so it isn't important that history is followed exactly. Members will have the chance to rewrite history as needed, and use their characters and plots to shape history going forward!
Ah okay! Can I just reserve Renee Bhagwandeen for duck, then? :)
Done!
Caitlin Stasey for Eve
she’s all yours!
I am so so pumped for this! Are you guys going to release previews of the skin/app? :)
Aw thanks, we are super excited too! We did release a skin preview a little while back that you are welcomed to check out. As for the app we will be releasing the code and preview shortly before we open so everyone can get a jump start on their characters!
Edmund’s Bay
The capital city lies on a hill that gently slopes down to the bay from which it draws its name.
The governor's mansion and other colonial buildings lie at the top of the hill, at the crest of which is Fort Victory. The fort began life as a Spanish defense, when the Spanish originally settled the islands. It was a hastily built contraption of logs and mud, meant more to keep the horrors of the islands at bay, rather than to rule over the city. When it came under British rule this all changed. The walls were built taller and thicker, with brick and mortar. The barracks were expanded to house the growing naval presence, and great watch towers were built to keep watch over both the wild and the city alike. Fort Victory also houses the jails and the justice hall, along with a large and foreboding square that doubles as parade grounds and gallows.
In the bay there is a large naval marina that hosts the British fleet. There is also a marina for the merchant vessels and other ships that harbor in Edmund's Bay. The naval fleet is the grander of the two, complete with its own smaller fortifications and palisades. The merchant's docks are wooden and solid, with a quay and fish market. The merchants docks have a slightly seedy reputation, with prostitutes and cutpurses prowling its boardwalks.
The city in between is made up of narrow and winding streets which connect to the larger and more modern thoroughfares connecting the bay to the fort. The buildings are mostly stone or brick and built to withstand the occasional hurricanes. Most buildings have large, sturdy shutters to protect their windows, and thick wooden doors. There is a central market roughly half-way up the hill bordered by the main shopping area and merchant's guilds. The market is large and roughly rectangular in size, with wooden stalls that populate its area during market days.
There is a red-light district known as the "sailor's square" which houses the bordellos and opium dens so popular with sailors and politicians alike. The largest bordello in Edmund's Bay is called the Pink House, named of course for its distinct pink exterior.
Edmund's Bay is surrounded by plantations and farm fields, having wrestled the land from the jungle. Beyond the fields are untamed jungle known as Gordon's Forest, named for the first British governor, who disappeared in to the forest one day not to return. In the forest live sprites, elves, biloko, and all manner of creature. It is generally accepted as a good idea to stay as far away from the forest as possible.
