The desc isn? exactly right for the rp I? going to use here.  Still a new char, and takes me forever to develop them in YC, this is just an environment feeler post?whatever that means, prolly take a long to to complete<img alt=":)" src="./images/smilies/smile.gif" title="Smile"/>)<br/><br/>*The times may have been perceived as an romantic era, of tall ships, their beautiful sails, masts crowding the pristine clean harbours, before and during the industrial revolution.  Grand forest still dominated the old countries, country towns prospered as agriculture became sophisticated and modern, and actually challenged the cities for population.  It was an era for adventure, a time when the new worlds where daunting, and further away then the planets are today.  Sailing across the vast oceans was an art?otally depending on nature herself, the great majestic ships?ailing into a vast blue unknown horizon, never to return for years at a time, if they ever did.  However these ships promised wealth, and escape from the old countries.  *<br/><br/>*Anastasia holds her blouse, closer over her fox neck, to cover it better? daughter of the most wealthiest fox family, she was expected to marry into the most wealthy wolf family, whom did well in the human commerce and enterprise of this free era.  Even though the youngest member of the wolf family was strong and handsome?e disregarded furs and humans who were unfortunate to not so well off, and like many of his day, treated them badly.  Even though Anastasia was from the most privilege class of the old world, she detested it.  The new world offered a promise of life based on merit alone, rather then breeding.  An escape from her most depressing restricted lifestyle of living and acting like a proper fox woman should.  *<br/><br/><br/>*her escape was one of these ships, which go away, a long, long away from the old world.  No tall ship of this era was designed to be a passenger ship?hey all were made for merchant or warfare, and offered passengers no comfort?xcept for the captain may auction off some of his cabin space.   The old world docks are a hostile place, and Anastasia is shocked, how burly bears, big wolves, strong humans and predatory felines act?ome have lots of money returning form these places, others are from the new world, and many hope to be the crew of the next leaving ship, for the risk of never returning offered much better promise, then the mines, farm jobs or the up starting dangerous industries of mass production. *<br/><br/><br/>*The  Grosvenor was bound for the East Indies, then to China, before crossing the reasonably unknown Pacific, to the Americas.  Then crossing again to the Indies, and passing the horrid cape of storms, one more time, before returning home.  It was a great merchant ship?f the new India class?it had done the trip once, and returned.  Even evaded the French!  The Grosvenor was one of the most proudest, and biggest ships amongst the hundreds of barges, coasters, cutters, riggers and sloops in the harbour.  It? anchored deep, and away from the flurry of local sailing ships.  It has four masts, and dwarf? most ships, navy and merchant.  Anastasia hope to catch this ship, like many, before it leaves.  She? paid good money, to be it? passenger?nd certainly a refined foxy like herself could not be it? crew.<br/><br/>*She has lots of boxes, to take with her?nd she sits on one of them, on a wharf which she has been told, is used by the Grosvenor? crew.  This is the first time the foxy has ever, done something this rash without the permission of her parents, and did she really decide to rebel in a grand style!  All or nothing?.*she whisper? to self, and a big black bear approaches her, seemingly drunk, from the many illigament ail houses which serve sailors *
