[OoC] Steampunk Game!

[Keylaleigh]

I'll post this and PM it. Just cuz. Just tell me if this sounds alright.

Name: Pandora Watson
Sex: Female
Age: 25
Faction: Scientists
Occupation: Head of the archives and budding inventor
Description: The first thing most people notice about Miss Watson is her wheelchair. Due to a bad healing process after a crippling accident, Pandora has been confined to this chair for twenty years now, and her body shows it, with completely atrophied legs and well-worked arms. She has dirty blond hair that is usually kept up in a bun and blue-green eyes. She usually has a somewhat serious look on her face that is broken with the occasional smile if you catch her on a good day. She wears a simple blouse and skirt with flat boots.
When it comes to her personality, Pandora is a somewhat stern young woman who is also brilliant, with blueprints for many completed inventions all over her small office in the archives. She is especially into the budding field of robotics and will take any chance to talk to others who are in this area of work. She takes her work in the archives very seriously and will do anything in her power to protect the books inside.
Biography: Pandora was born on the edge of the South, the daughter of a scrap metal salesman and a seamstress. When she was five, she was playing in a building that was a known hazard and the foundation decided to give in, trapping her beneath the rubble. She managed to get out alive, but the bones in her legs were completely crushed and there were no doctors around to properly repair them. She was then put into a wheelchair and confined to her house. While there, she watched her parents work, but especially her father, selling scrap metal to students in the universities so they could build inventions. She studied their blueprints intently, starting to attempt at some of her own. She was especially interested in the ones called “robots” and listened to the students talk to her father about their plans to better the world with steam-powered men. She listened to them talk, and started drawing one of her own to push her chair around. Unfortunately, she realized that she would have a hard time building one due to her disability, so she asked one of her father’s customers to help her. He agreed, and the university heads took notice of their work. When the robot was finished, the heads came to her with a request to join an expedition team to Mount Nerian in order to help create new machines to help them with their excavations. She also decided to watch over their small archive of research on the mountain so that she would have something to do when not working. She has been at the research station for about three months now.

I really like this idea and I am excited to fill out a profile and join =D

[Maeve]

Yay! For a moment, I was sorta afraid we'd only be two
Not that I'd mind playing some one-on-one with Keyla, but you know, group role-play usually needs a group...

And I need to fill a profile now...

*kicks half-dead brain to work*

[lexi luthor]

Ill have to make my profile later when I'm not on the wii internet, and after my chores and helping my mom with last minute christmas shopping. Itll be sometime today though hopefully =)

[Atraea]

Dammit, cannot find the one I had for this other RP that failed...I'll type it up when I'm less tired.

[Keylaleigh]

And as you know, I'll be more than happy to take on more than one role if the situation calls for it.

Because I still have one other character in the reserves.

[Maeve]

*hands a pillow and blanket to Atraea*
I'd have said a cup of coffee normally, but after seeing what it did to you the other day...
Hm, yeah, anyway, can't wait to see your character!


For now, I'm mostly waiting to see how many people join/ which fraction they choose before deciding if I make more than one character myself. There's no real limit though, except the usual "don't make more than you can handle", so if you want add another character, go for it ^^
Or you can also wait and see what happens...

[Keylaleigh]

I'll wait around to see if she fits into the universe we end up making for these characters.

But a basic overview of the character: She's a noblewoman and etiquette instructor who is the daughter of a high-ranking member of the police force.

[lexi luthor]

Im going to make a police fraction that I am going to begin typing up right now I think. Unless a certain someone calls, then I will be in the middle of typing it out and have to save it in a word document or post what I have and edit later. So yes, let the writing commence.

Name: Keaton Cray

Sex: Male

Age: 23

Faction: Police

Occupation: He was one of the 'normal' people who were brought in so that he could infiltrate some of the factions without looking suspicious and super strong policey like.

Description: http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j123/11lexy2005/KeatonAnime-1.jpg
He has brown hair that goes down to his chin. He likes to wear dress shirts and ties. Usually he looks very tidy. He has yellowy gold eyes. His skin tone is medium. He has a lanky frame that hides his suprisingly strong muscles. When he smiles he looks like a cherub. When he is angry looking he looks like a devil.... both of those on unliteral terms.

He does what he needs to get what he wants and thats one thing the police like about him, but it is also something they are wary about as well. He almost seems to be bi-polar. On his good days he can be super nice and friendly but when he is in a bad mood, well you better watch out, he can be a real ass butt. He is also a very talented actor.

Biography: Keaton was adopted, he's an only child. His parents had children before him but they were killed in a terrible accident, so they adopted him from an orphanage a couple towns away. He lived at the orphanage for 2 years before he was adopted. His parents were the nicest people you could ever meet, but for some reason their son.. well he wasn't exactly a mirror image. He has a soft spot for children, suprisingly. Keaton was always a go getter. He scored high on standerized testing and was great at sports. He lived in a lower middle class home, his parents barely making the bills to keep them out of the real slumps in Hederia. As Keaton got older his parents noticed that he never seemed quite whole. He doesn't know his birth parents and doesn't plan on trying to get in touch with them. When he finished highschool he wasn't sure what he wanted to do so he went to the police and they quickly accepted him without vigorous training. They then told him that he would be a nark of some sort, trying to infiltrate a faction.

I'll... go eat. Then I'll make a character.

Name: Thomas Winford Caldwell
Sex: Male
Age: 68 years old
Faction: Scientists
Occupation: Head of the archaeological mission at Mt. Nerian
Description: In his young days, Mr. Cladwell was an athletic man, reaching close to 6 feet in height, with a body kept in good shape due to a jogging session every morning. Of course, that was 40 years ago. Thomas has since gained a bit of weight, and his spine has curved down a bit with the years. His legs are not a good as they were in the past, and he now keeps an ebony cane with a silver pommel showing the emblem of his family, a lion with a sword and rose in the background, with him all the time. His dark blond hair have taken a silvery shade, but they are still as wild as they were in his prime days. A cleanly cut beard and a thick moustache cover most of his face, as well as a pair of thick eyebrows over his deep blue eyes. A small pair of glasses resting on his large nose complete the portrait. Thomas generally wears a pair of simple brown pants, a pale tan or white shirt with a brown vest over it, leather shoes and all the usual accessories of a gentleman.
Mr. Caldwell is a friendly man, always caring about the people around him, a smile playing on his lips most of the time. However, he knows when to be firm, and won't hesitate to put people back in their place when needed. He tries to act like a gentleman all the time, and in fact has rarely been caught acting otherwise. He doesn't fear responsibilities, hence why he ended up occupying many important jobs in his life. Although, he sometimes resents his age and physical capacities, and he doesn't like to talk about his past or future much, the first because of some painful memories and the latter because he doesn't like to think that he doesn't have much longer to live.
Biography: Thomas Winford Caldwell, who prefers being called Thomas, was born in the well-known and quite wealthy Caldwell family, the third son and overall 4th child of a group of 6 children. The Caldwells owned an important shipping company, many warehouses, an inn and a few pubs all over Hederia. They were also important political figures, having taken part in the revolution that created the first democratic government many years ago. Thomas... well, business wasn't is strength, and politics bored him. He much preferred to learn about other cultures and history. When he was old enough, he entered the best college in town, choosing to specialized in social studies and in history. Although his family wasn't all that happy with his choice, his two older brothers could take care of the family business well enough for him to be freed of most of his obligations.
Motivated by a strong desire to learn, and helped by the generous amount of money his family invested in the college, Thomas soon became an important man in his chosen field of study: archaeology. He was married at 25, soon followed by a few kids, got a permanent job as a teacher when he was 30 years old, then as the head of the faculty at 40, grandfather at 52 and head of the archaeological team at Mt. Nerian at 65. Add to that the many books and essays he wrote, the many philanthropic events he held to help various causes, plus the general activities of someone born in the higher class, and you got a well-lived life.

Hooray for scientists!

[Maeve]

I figured, since we'll start of Scientists ground, it'd be a good idea to have some more scientists characters ^^

*attacks platter and eats half the cookies* YUM! back to completing my character
