    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Open The Great Flood (AKA another Zelda RPG.)

Well, you still need to confirm that the cloak will be extremely absorbent and prevent you from swimming, and you need to promise not to capitalize random words, to not use a "'" when dealing with normal plural words (How you typed "Zora's" and "Rito's" in your registration form, for example.) and to not end sentences like this

I will confirm that it will prevent me from swimming while I am wearing it. Where did I capitalize random words? Sorry, I tend to do that from time to time

Also, I ALWAYS end a paragraph like this. Sorry if it bugs you. It is just one missing bit of punctuation, however, so do you think you can live with it? For some reason, the sight of my paragraphs on a computer ending with a period drives me up the wall. Not sure whether to blame my Tourrettes (sp?) or my Aspergers (alright, I capitalized those words on purpose because I am PRETTY (capitalized for emphasis) sure they are supposed to be capitalized)

So, can you live with that small nuance? It's not like I go and leave out periods anywhere else, and I still use all other punctuation when ending a paragraph (including ellipses)
 
You capitalized several words under the "Personality" section of your form. And I'm afraid I'd rather not have you in this RPG if you can't punctuate the end of a paragraph, because while it annoys you to put a period at the end of every paragraph that needs one, it annoys me not to see it, and I'd wager that a few other people in this thread would be mildly annoyed, too. And you still haven't made a comment about not using "'" for normal plural words.
 
Oh, THAT! ^^ Habit of mine to do that with descriptions and personalities in forms for RPs. Also, yeah, sorry about the "'". I still make mistakes about where an apostrophe is used. I don't make those mistakes TOO often, but I occasionally place those where they are not needed

Also, I will try to put periods at the end. Just... Don't expect me to remember every time, alright? Also, if I type up a post while upset, well, understand that anxiety aggravates my disorders more, so I will likely be obsessed with skipping on the periods during those periods of time

So, I will try my best to include the periods at the end of any in-character paragraphs, alright?

Yes, but I will anyway! >:D

And here it is...

Edit: Had second thoughts, changing now.

Edit: Here for real!

Name: Ohayou

Gender: Male

Race: Minish

Appearance: A minish... With shoulder length, messy white hair and large blue-green eyes. Wears a green robe, but dosen't wear a hat. He always looks like he's thinking of causing chaos wherever he is. He is full of energy, so he is usually moving, or bouncing in place.

Personality: Random... Very, very random... that's all that will be mentioned. I'ma PO the rest...

Ship Name: S.S. Beerbottle / Rosutaimu

Ship Description: Half of a beer bottle with the mouth sealed off. Controlled by magic. When Ohayou uses his cloak of big-ness, the bottle turns into Rosutaimu, a white wooden ship, with blue green trim and rails. It has the same color sails, and a cabin built for two, but furnished for one. Above the deck, and in front of the sails is an arch with three bells of red, blue, and green. As they ring, they play Zelda's Lullaby and fog surrounds the ship. Rosutaimu has a claw that is used for finding treasure, but if used correctly, can make a crappy weapon.

History: Being rather insane, he was befriended by Eric, who gave him his cloak of big-ness. The cloak makes him hylian-sized, and can be activated only during the twilight. If he is in large/small form after dawn or dusk, he has to remain in that form until dawn/dusk. He can't swim, and if he touches more than a liter of salt water while large, he passes out, and wakes up at dawn/dusk tiny again. His cloak also causes the S.S. Beerbottle to change into Rosutaimu. S.S. Beerbottle was given to him by Eric for no reason whatsoever...

Sorry, I had too many distractions to be detailed last night. The new stuff about the cloak is in bold. Good? Or do you need more?
 
(((Whoo!!! And for some reason I will never understand, that post seems like it was posted grudgingly... or not, but that was the impression I got from reading it. It was creepy...)))

Ohayou, bored to tears as his magic boat drifted through the waters near Windfell, silenced the bells.
I hope nobody got scared because of the fog... he thought, and looked up, the metal city in view.

Upon docking, he walked through the tight streets, waiting for sunset.
 
Nemik awoke with a yelp as he felt himself rocking back and forth wildly. He opened his eyes and found himself staring up at criss-crossed twigs, bound together with grass. Bewildered, he looked around at the items in the 'room', and the memories came back to him.

The village, the spring. Finally finishing the boat. Sailing out into the water - and being swept downstream.

The ship rocked again, and he used a long twig next to his bed of soft grass to prod open the trapdoor over his head. He climbed a grass rope up onto the deck, and looked around. The wind was quite strong...

He untied the leaf sails from the mast and climbed along the ship's carved twig bow to tie the front sail into place. As he worked, he remembered trying numerous times to sail back up the river the day before, only to fail each time, being blown back to the sea by the wind and the river's slope. He had sailed around the whole island twice in search for another entrance, but had found none.

Now he tied the back sail to the railing at the stern, looking out at Outset Isle, less than fifty feet behind him. His home was mere yards away, yet he could not reach it.
 
Lita stood on the proud bow of her ship, looking over the ocean. She hadn't seen anything for a while, yet. Of course, that was since she had no idea where to go. She had an aversion for Windfell, probably because it was where she'd stolen her mighty ship, DawnLight. Despite the fact that it wasn't originally hers, Lita loved The Light of Dawn, its silver-lined hull, its short mast... Speaking of which, She realized, she oughta be in the crow's nest. She knew that if she herself weren't captain, she'd get a lashing for being so absentminded. This is why I'M captain. So that none of my crew puts me in danger. She ran over to the mast and quickly climbed up the ladder leading to the crow's nest.

So, where be we? She wondered. She saw Greatfish Isle to her left. Well, I suppose we'd best turn right to avoid Windfell. "Turn right!" She shouted.

The crew member holding the wheel swung it to the right, circling several times.

"We're not going back to Windfell unless the need be dire," She muttered to herself.

The waves gently lapped at the side of The Tempest as Tiravs lay on his back, a pad of paper and a writing stick in his hands. Gazing out at the blue ocean, he couldn't help but feel at peace...clouds rolled gently overhead, the gulls cawed above him...looking on the horizon, he saw Great Fish Island, and he brightened. He could restock there, and visit. Adjusting the boat, he quickly went to set course for Great Fish, and, with the wind at his back, calmly adjusted the tillar as his home island became bigger in the distance.
 
Eric sighed, laying on the deck of The Phoenix. He closed his eyes and hummed, having already docked his ship at Windfell. I wonder what Ohayou is doing? I hope he doesn't take too long. I want to get to that damned tower! he thought to himself before bolting upright, removing his cloak. "Almost forgot! I need to grab some supplies!"

He stood up and spread his wings, ready to take flight. He backed up a bit, then took a running start and flew over to the city, looking for a certain shop. He knew replacement parts for bows were rare, due to trees being rare from the flooding, but he still needed to fix up his bow. He soon spotted the shop, and flew down to it. He managed to find the parts needed, and approached the shop keep. "How much for three bow strings, a chunk of oak, twenty five arrows with iron tips and oak shafts, me providing the feathers of course," he smirked at his lame joke, "and ten bombs?"
 
Ohayou was planning to buy some random things he probabally would never use, so he began walking to the shopkeeper. He made a noise, startled by the fact that Eric had beaten him here.
"Hi Eric!!!!!" he yelled, running to the store. "I can't belive you beat me here! My ship's faster and is aided by the power of randomosity!" [/randomcrap]
 
Eric blinked. "We arrived at roughly the same time, and I can fly above the crowds. How is me beating you here a SURPRISE?"

He then sighed and continued to talk while he waited for the shop keeper to tally up the price. "So, found what you needed yet?"
 
"Will I ever?" he asked, knowing the answer.
"And yes, I'm easily surprised by your flying ship of doom."
He reached into his robe, and pulled out a bottle of golden liquid.
"Here, I have some Elixer Soup from a recipie I found buried in the forest back home."
He handed the bottle to Eric, saying, "I'll be on my ship if you need me."
 
"Alright, Ohayou," he replied, grinning. He then took out his bag of Rupees, ready to pay for the products when the shop keep finished tallying up the price.
 
Crystal was about to set sail when she noticed there was a hole in her sail. She went back into Windfell town and went to the ship part store. She looked around and found large, sturdy sails. She picked up two of them(They are folded, after all) and stood in line at the register.
 
As the ship began its turn around, Lita noticed another ship, and it was dangerously close. Her brow furrowed.

"Be ready for a fight!" She shouted, and climbed back down the ladder and drew her sword. She took a closer look at the ship. It had a wolf for a figurehead and no visible cannons. She smirked. This would be all too easy.
 
Nemik leaned against the railings in thought, but almost made the ship topple over into the water. He quickly jumped back to the mast to balance the boat out, and presumed thinking.

Then it came to him.

He was a Minish.

He could do magic.

There had to be a levitating spell somewhere...

He ran back into the cabin under the deck, and opened the twig-made chest in the corner. He lifted out a book made of bark and leaves, and flicked through it, searching for the chapter on Object Manipulation.

Enlargement... Freezing... heating.. Levitating!

He scanned the ingredients, and nearly dropped the book. All the ingredients could only be found on Weeping Mother's Isle.

Sighing, he put the book away and went back up to the deck. He pulled up the anchor, a pebble at the end of a grass rope, and stood at the wheel, turning the rudder to propel the boat in the direction of the Weeping Mother.
