[hr]

In a world covered by dangerous wilds and unforgiving tribal warfare, there is only one sanctuary. The sprawling city of Allisaria, an industrial state existing in the western mountains of the world, reminiscent of Victorian London or Steampunk cities of fiction.

Allisaria is ruled by King Allard Alliser II and his family. They are descendant from the first King of Allisaria, Declan Alliser I. While the Allisarian kings were, for the most part benevolent, there was no love between Allard and his people. He's raised the taxes and gave the city watch unprecedented power. He ruled the city with an iron fist, and the people responded in kind.

After a reign of only four years, Allard, his wife, and two of his children were captured and executed by the Revolutionary Forces. One of his children survived, spirited away by some of the few Loyalists in the city. It wasn't long before the Rebels caught them. While Allard's child managed to escape, the Loyalists weren't so lucky. 

The last of the Allisers found themself in a tavern, using the last of their coin to hire a guard to escort them out of Allisaria.

[hider=Allisaria]
An overpopulated, industrialized city modeled after Victorian London. Pipes carrying steam, the lifeblood of Allisaria, line the walls of most every building. The city is shaped like a large circle, with the Alliser Palace in the center. The nobles live around the palace in a thin ring called Declan's Strip. Then, there's another ring of upper-class housing and businesses. The fourth ring, the largest is full of factories, mines, and boardinghouses for workers. The fifth and last ring is made up of sooty wooden shacks housing the unemployed. The "borders" of the city are nothing more than large expanses of farmland.

[hider=State of Technology]
Technology is mostly like that of Victorian England. The only thing that sets it apart is the wide use of steam power.

Factories are mass-producing for the first time in history, made possible by steam machinery.

So-called "Horseless Carriages" are cruising the cobblestoned streets propelled by steam.

Flintlock is still the primary form of firearms, however, new repeating "Clockwork Weaponry" is the absolute top of the line. Swords and knives are still the most commonplace weaponry.

Personality: (What are they like?)

Bio: (What was their childhood like? Did they get along with the other Alliser children? How did they like the royal life? What did the people think of them? Did they disagree with their father's choices? Things of that nature)

Skills: (An heir(ess) learns all sorts of things. Question is, how many of those things will be useful? Did they train with the captain of the guard? Were they fond of hunting or horseback riding? Did they tinker with steam machinery? Were they a great cook? How intelligent are they? Things of that nature)

Anything else?: (Any other interesting info? Habits, fears, quirks, facts and the like, as well and anything else that doesn't fit into the above sections.)

Anything Else?: (As with the Royal, this is just a catch-all section.)
