I originally told Arthur I would play the overboard person, but have since changed my mind. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. After talking with several members about the story, I have come up with two different types of characters.

The crucial element before I make my decision which way to go concerns the time period. What year is it in the story?

I assumed it was around the 17th or 18th Century. Giacomo thought it was present day. LOL! Puts us in two totally different eras to say the least.
