This was an idea for a roleplay that I originally trialed in the casual section before I got advised that the advanced section would be more suited for it.

Coal is a steampunk world that is set within a city that floats on an island in the sky, and a mining town that is located on the ground close to the island.

There are 3 families that you can be a part of and each is designated with a particular skill set. The Aristocrats are the first family with a focus on money and close combat/melee; the second is the House of Hudson, a wild west like family that is skilled in firearms and mechanics; the third is The Children of Umbra, a secret organisation that has a fascination with dark arts and pseudoscience.

It's basically a 3 way struggle to try and control the city for their own personal agendas.

The Aristocrats being wealthy tend to use their money for bribery and control.

The Hudsons desire riches through natural resources and mining, but with the Aristocrat's oppression on the area, it makes it fairly hard to gain money legally.

Children of Umbra are a dark organisation, almost like a cult, that is hell bent on power and destruction however they fell off the radar for several years when the leader of the House of Hudson and two mercinaries from the aristocrats killed off the leaders of the Children of Investment.

I don't wanna have a full out war or anything but more focus on espionage, back handed deals, deceit and betrayal. I also don't want over powered characters but more regular people with specific skills and traits.

Any questions and any interest, just let me know as I have a pretty fleshed out idea and an OOC post already done.
