Ah, the open sky! Where ships soar and dragons swoop, where mighty battles are fought, where great adventures are had, and where those with enough grit, spit and determination could make a name for themselves, and the Cameribra flow, or just the flow, is where they go to do it. A largely unmapped and unexplored area of sky beasts, floating reefs, cannibal islands and, of course, Pirates, it is also where the greatest treasures are to be found. Upon the great floating islands, entire civilisations might have developed in isolation, as much a mystery to you as you are to them. There could be islands filled with gold and jewels but, by the same coin, there are those that contain nothing but death. Your fate is in your own hands, so strap on your ray gun, pull down your flying goggles, and prepare for adventure!
Hello! If you haven't guessed, this is a classic steampunk rp set in a world of airships and floating islands. A bit stereotypical, I know, but that's why I want to do it, just for the sake of another, classic adventurous romp across unexplored lands, with action, danger, cannibals, and perhaps even the chance of romance along the way. What's not to like? Since we're heading into an unexplored area, the world is defined by what you want to happen, if you want to world build, we can go and discover it and build it in game. (I think that's pretty cool)
In terms of commitment, I'd like to see at least one post a week, hopefully more. I won't completely lose it because you miss a post, but if you're absent for a while without good reason, you may find that you're character has been hijacked while you were away. Or they're dead. That could happen too.
Anyway, since this is now the OOC, I believe it to be time to get right into some details. You will be upon your very own ship, the SkyShark, a newish vessel, with 10 guns, two decks and a balloon. You are also provided with a small force of G-Mechs, small, one man aircraft made of paper, wood and brass, powered by a tiny engine with a hand-cranked machine gun in the front. Only the bravest or most foolish would ever dare set foot in one, and their pilots have a reputation for being rather, crazy...
Oh, and you're there too. You are being sponsored by Lord Higgins of Ranchester Island, a somewhat eccentric fellow, who has devoted his fortune to discovery, science, and the betterment of man kind. Only problem is, his fortunes not that large, so he's stuck with you lot and a broken boiler (someone really should fix that). He'll need engineers, captains, scientists, and all manner of weird and wonderful people to execute his missions, so let's get to how you make them!
Since at the time of posting, we don't have many people, I'll say you can make two characters if you want. We can have one Captain, if two people want it we'll go best CS wins, if no-one wants it I'll play the Captain.
Most of the world building we'll be doing in game, since you're entering a completely unmapped area in search of riches and glory, or perhaps something else, what you find tends to be a surprise.
So that's it so far, hope to see you soon.
