[quote=@Za Warudo] Thematically, with it being low fantasy, what would you say this is most akin to? Would a gunslinger be a feasible character type? Not necessarily old west, but around those lines in terms of style (revolvers and such) [/quote] [quote=@Nariata] That is a question I also wanted to ask. If someone, such as a clank, had the resources, could he feasibly own and operate an old style gun that was in operation around the time of the fall of civilization? [/quote] Well, the first thing that comes to mind really is [i]Book of the New Sun[/i] by Gene Wolfe, but with the Science Fiction elements highly present instead of just implied. I call it low fantasy really because of where I project it to be tonally and thematically. It isn't high fantasy, the scale and scope of conflict we are talking about here isn't huge, there is no evil dark lord trying to take over the world it's just a bunch of adventuring mercenaries trying to make ends meat. Good and evil are more subjective there aren't bad guys or good guys, just people with motives and reasons for those motives. Yet it isn't Dark fantasy either this is not a world of darkness and dread, the world ended but it got better. There is a place in time for both cynicism and optimism. And most importantly there is hope. That is what drives these people forward hope and persistence. They've all been knocked down but they sure as hell are going to try and get back up. But yeah a gunslinger would be fine. Revolvers and such are totally fine though considering firearms haven't be "reinvented" yet by the Reclaimed World yet as they are still at very much a medieval level of their own technological development to put it into prospective they just figured out how to make simple blast furnaces again and the closet they have to guns are very basic cannons and ribauldequins, so a gunslingers weapons would be salvaged tech. Meaning instead of having say a revolver that shoots bullets, they would have a revolver that shoots well lasers or another form of a direct energy blast. Sure they can have an actual ballistics based weapon, but most of those during the period before the Long Silence were antiques then so finding one that actually works is rare and finding the parts to fix it well it is also kinda a problem.
