Well I tried to squeeze out my character before I went to college but was ultimately unsuccessful. Everything's done except the backstory so I'll post it when I get home from college. I apologise for the delay gents.

@SgtEasy

I allowed it since we don't have much people anyway. We don't have to be completely accurate to history since this is a semi-fantasy setting especially later (no spoilers) anyway.

@Artymis

You're accepted but you mind changing the profile picture or cropping only her face? That uniform looks a bit ahead of its time. Cool character though, she reminds me of this.

Gotcha, I can do that if you'd like but half the reason I didn't do it originally was to show her proportions. Did somewhat base her off that, was also inspired by the female units in the russian army in WW2 as well even if that's a bit further ahead.

Okay folks - if you haven't already seen the 0th post on the CS tab: We're starting collabs of how our characters became part of the crew. I will go around and PM people one-by-one in random order and build from each others writings.

Oh, I won't presume that my decision is final. After all, of all of this great work, @Blubaron45 made by far (far, faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar) the most part and I just offered some help when everything was mostly said and done, but I don't think we should turn our back on anyone before seeing what that person can offer. ;3

Well, I did post a link to see if anyone else was interested. @Traps you can apply by all means. You don't have to submit by today so no rush. We're looking for quality here. Look forward to reading from you!

Typically they're people who cannot afford to usually travel overseas by boat. Many times, the aetherships are often used to transport people who need to get from one destination to the next. Since the invention of the Aethership and its subsequent use for giving access to immigrants, it is illegal to transport travelers who don't possess a passport or a form of legal immigrant documentation should they choose to go down that path. The only exception are of course those who are apart of a crew, the same goes for us. So yes, technically they happen to be people hiring our services. Think of it as a semi-illegitimate AirBnB/Lyft type service. If this story had garnered more attention, it would have certainly been open to those interest as well but either way the spots are typically intended to be occupied by NPCs, some of which are part the plot of our story. Most of them, however, have little (if nothing at all) to do with anything illegal and just happen to be simple travelers.

Good question. I'm not an artist, so I will probably write a section describing the Strativella and a few other typical examples of Aetherships like it under 'Technology'. Specifically, our ship is a Modella Titan 1914 Type B which is perhaps one of the best of its kind with added improvements from its earlier models and but failed to meet quotas and were eventually discontinued. They were very efficient but were out-competed by Bellator Cielo's Jupiter 1913 and Himmelskuppel's Donar 1914. The very one we own in a used one, but certainly does its job in an efficient manner.

Our ship is practically like every other Aethership:

Think of the ship being around the roughly smaller than the size of the Final Fantasy 7 airship, Highwind, except having a more Victorian theme. What keeps such aircraft afloat is course the Aetherium which at the presence of heat, produce a maglev effect and elevates the platforms of the ship. Conductors are therefore built into the ship in order maintain the vessel and keep it aloft which are easily maintained without a mechanic - without them, the ship cannot sustain fight. What keeps the aircraft mobile however is obviously the engine which unlike the conductors require a person with knowledge and skill in order to maintain. They are essentially like larger airplane engines and have their own room to be maintained by our mechanic. Aetherships cannot travel as quickly as Airplanes, but can still achieve a relatively high speed. Our model the Modella Titan 1914 Type B for instance can travel at reach speeds of 75 mph (or 120.7 kmh) but with more cargo means more weight which inevitably slows the vessel down.

Modella is perhaps one of the most prominent Aethership companies in the entire world. Centered around in Florence Italy, its founder and now CEO Benito Doccello was at the beginning of his career, a lowly Aerospace Engineer before inventing his own specially designed Aetherships which ended up marketing a success in the industry. There are five other large Aethership companies (there are others, but they're not as popular): Aria (If you read the timeline which happens to be the first company built by Vincenzo Buscemi and Ferdinand von Zeppelin), Bellator del Cielo (Italy), Niño del Cielo (A Spanish company), Himmelskuppel (based in Germany), and the growing American company Johnathon-Stratton. Aetherships such as the one we are in can facilitate a crew of about seven and hold five extra rooms used to house any passengers. It is essentially a cargo holding ship like most Aetherships, and are used to transport items and passengers from one desired location to the next.

With prohibition and the violent social uprisings on the rise, the transportation of illegal cargo is also quite common among those taking such employment. It is due to this that therefore caused an International Police Brigade to form and take care of such matters; they essentially have jurisdiction all over the world (but mostly from approved nations) and can stop Aetherships at any time though require a warrant of search by a court in the country they are conducting their search in. Men hired for international police service also require an insignia of approval of their own nation on top of a letter of recognition from the League of Nations in order for their service to be considered valid.

I'll probably write a bit more in detail about the Aetherships and the International Police Brigade, but I hope this is somewhat sufficient for now.
