Yeah!!!!!!!!
Since the last one's pretty much dead. :/
It's been about fifty years since the Hero of Time sealed Ganondorf away with the Master Sword under the waves, yet not all is peaceful. The sea level has been rising rapidly for the past few years, and is showing no signs of stopping. Most of the islands have already been swallowed up by the sea, and only a small part of the tallest of them still remains above the water. The current state of the islands is as such:
Windfall Island - This island was quickly reduced to the mere tip of a windmill and the residents of it were forced to flee. Some decided to come back some time later, perhaps out of stubbornness to leave their old home or because they thought the remains of the windmill could be turned into a waterwheel for a good source of energy, and built a new town out of metal on top of the water. This island is mostly home to Hylians, but several members of the other races are here, too. Only the rich can live here, though. The island's name was changed to Windfell Island, out of the common hatred of the gods that began at the start of the flood.
Tower of Gods - Though the tower still stands high above the water, it is completely flooded and has waterfalls running down all sides. This leads many to believe that it is the source of the flood, and it is likely this thought that has led people to lose faith in the gods.
Dragon Roost Isle - Though the sandy shores and lower cliffs were swallowed up, the main volcano still stands high above the water. Valoo, the dragon living at the top, seems to be getting rather nervous and even violent sometimes.
Greatfish Isle - It was broken in to several pieces when Ganondorf was around, but after he was sealed away the pieces fused back together to create a livable island. This island was clearly not tethered to the seafloor as previously thought, because it started floating up like a dead fish as the water level rose. The Zora live in underwater caverns below it, thought to have been extinct for a long time. The part of it that's above water is thought of as a last refuge for those not wealthy enough to afford to live on Windfell Isle. It's constantly plagued by sickness and starvation, but it's still better than drowning.
Outset Isle - Only the trees on the very top of the isle managed to survive the flood, and the island has been renamed the Fairy's Forest. The Minish are rumored to live here.
Mother and Child Isles - Renamed the Weeping Mother's Isle after the "Child" island was swallowed up by the sea. The Fairies live here, under the protection of the Great Fairy Queen. Nobody is sure how long the island's outer wall will keep the rising water at bay.
Forest Haven - The branches of the Forest Haven's trees and the thorns of the Forbidden Forest still stick out above the water, but the Great Deku Tree was unfortunately unable to escape the rising water and was killed. Almost every living Korok stubbornly remains to live in these branches, refusing to desert the Great Deku Tree.
Forsaken Fortress - The tips of some ships and the main stone tower still stick out above the water. It's completely deserted, and almost nobody cares to explore it.
Ice Ring Isle - This icy isle continued freezing up to the surface alongside the rising water, and now extends hundreds of feet below the water. Several adventurers went to explore the isle hoping to find a supposed "great treasure" and never came back. Many Stalfos inhabit this isle, thought to be the remains of those adventurers.
Fire Mountain - Several eruptions as the flood started engulfing it created an immense mostly underwater stone cavern, and the island was renamed the Stone Castle. Inhabitants of Windfell Isle come here to mine for the alloys needed to continue building the island, and have tried to build several walls around it to keep out the floodwater. Rumors exist about rare gems being near the bottom, but only idiots have actually tried to brave the heat to find them.
The Great Glob - Not so much an island as a ball of goo, it was created when the flood swallowed up Pawprint Isle and the hundreds of ChuChus inhabiting it floated to the surface and quickly started multiplying, literally covering the ocean surface in goo. They attack everything that moves, and it is widely thought of as the most dangerous spot to sail on the Great Sea. And they don't limit themselves to just that spot, either. The Great Glob is constantly getting larger, and the ChuChus have started terrorizing the inhabitants of Windfell Isle and Dragon Roost Isle, too. Never been afraid of these cute harmless slimeheads before? You will be.
Sea Chart.
Some people aren't quite ready to give up and let the flood swallow them, though. Some hope to find new lands safe from the flood, beyond the edges of the map. Some are more ambitious, though, and hope to find a way to stop the flood or even reverse it. Others still are content with sailing on the sea for the rest of their lives, being a pirate. You've recently acquired a ship, and are ready to leave your home island. It's time for you to make your choice.
Races:
Hylian - The only human race here, most Hylians either live on Windfell Isle if they're rich or Greatfish Isle if they're poor. They tend to wear "normal clothing" -shirts, jeans, dresses, whatever.
Advantages - Good with tools and weapons, can swim for a moderately long time, fairly intelligent.
Disadvantages - Quite vulnerable, can't stay in extreme temperatures for long, easily prone to disease.
Korok - These tree sapling-like creatures have been stubbornly staying in the branches of the Great Deku Tree, not wanting to abandon it. And they aren't exactly friendly when one of the other Koroks decides to leave, either. They all wear a mask on their face made out of a single leaf, though the kind of leaf used varies from Korok to Korok.
Advantages - Can use spells by singing magic songs, can fly for quite a while on their propeller-like Deku Leaves.
Disadvantages - Weak to fire, can't stay in the ocean for extended periods of time or they'll swell as they soak up water, can't hold weapons, cannonballs, etc. due to not having fingers.
Goron - Almost all of these rocky mountain creatures are merchants and can be found all over the Great Sea. They typically wear a shirt, a sun hat, and an enormous bag with several valuable trading items in it on their back.
Advantages - The strongest race of all in terms of strength, live for hundreds of years, can survive extremely high temperatures to the point of walking on magma.
Disadvantages - Can't swim, not exactly the wisest unless they happen to be very old.
Zora - Humanoid creatures with fish-like scales and gills, they live in underwater caverns beneath Greatfish Isle. They usually don't wear anything, apart from the occasional armor, necklace, or earring. They were thought to have evolved into Rito, and though several moved to land after the original flood and developed wings and feathers, many remained underwater and did not evolve. Not many people have realized this.
Advantages - Can swim in and stay under water indefinitely, quite nimble and lightweight.
Disadvantages - Cannot stay in cold temperatures for long.
Rito - Evolved from the Zora that decided to live on land, these humanoid creatures with bird - like feathers and wings (the wings only growing in behind their hands after they've obtained a scale from Valoo and have reached adulthood) live on Dragon Roost Island. They've been suffering near economic collapse recently because the flood has pretty much put their postal service out of business, and Valoo's sudden violence has made it difficult for young Rito to reach adulthood.
Advantages - Can fly if their wings have grown in, quite nimble and lightweight.
Disadvantages - Have been known to lose their temper easily.
Minish - Ant-sized creatures who tend to wear robes that live in the Fairy's Forest. They're capable of brewing magic potions and casting some spells.
Advantages - Can brew magic potions and cast spells - if they have the right ingredients, that is. Can sneak around easily and slip through small cracks in a ship.
Disadvantages - Can be trampled on easily, can't swim for long, can only hold tiny, near-useless weapons.
Stalfos - These ghostly skeletons live in Ice Ring Isle and wear all manner of tattered and ruined clothing. Most were unable to rest because they wanted to reverse the flood and prevent other foolish adventurers from sharing their fate. Though they're immortal, they're quite brittle and can be smashed to pieces and rendered useless fairly easily.

History: (Be sure to include how you got your ship and what you're intending to do with it!)
Mine:
Name: Starr.
Gender: Male.
Race: Minish.
Appearance: He has a blue robe and a purple and gray striped hat, and jet-black hair that barely sticks out the back of it. His face can look ragged and old at times, despite the fact that he's fairly young in Minish terms.
Personality: He's impatient and tends to be rude to everyone around him without knowing it. Or not caring, it's hard to tell. He can be friendly around those who he trusts, but that's not exactly saying much.
Ship Name: The Rising Gale.
Ship Description: Being made to occupy a single Minish, it's not exactly a large ship. It's controlled with magic and wasn't built for fighting, and thus doesn't have a steering wheel or cannons, either. It's not so much a ship as a few planks of wood.
History: Starr's sister, Sparkle, fell over one of the many cliffs on the island when a strong wind pushed her, and though he looked hard, he couldn't find her. He believes that, somehow, if he can reverse the flood, he'll be able to find her. He started building his "ship" that day, and today, several months later, it's finished. It's held together with nothing but magic, so the moment he stops concentrating on it, it'll break apart. That's okay, though, since he intends to acquire a new ship at the first stop on his journey, Windfell Isle.
