The OOC

"From the dawn of time, Humanity has strived to discover the unknown. When we first created fire, to when we first created machines. But now? When we have forgotten so much? We have to rediscover what has already been discovered, it’s a long and strenuous task. But there are always brave men and women with an iron will, wanting to go into the area we call the Shatterzone. A part of our world broken and destroyed by what some call the wrath of the gods, where landmasses smashed together to form tremendous mountains, where massive beasts roam and thrive on the chaos, and the land itself froze in the sky, never to come down again. Where fallen airships lie, their guns silenced and their hulls ripped asunder by creatures who can rend metal apart as if it were paper. Where the secrets of the past lay locked away, ancient relics long lost, holding unimaginable power. That is why we wish to rediscover, to find ourselves again, to find the secrets and relics, and to regain that part of us which is lost.

There have been many who have sought out the treasures of the Shatterzone, some returned home with revolutionary devices, weaponry, riches untold. But they are the exception, and to survive, you must be exceptional. The previous two Armada Class Exploratory Vessels, the Red Fury, helmed by Lord Stehmahr Gearheart, and the Harlequin Stage helmed by Duke Tobias Prinzhorn. Both were entrusted with the prized vessels of the Order of Progression, ships refurbished from before the shatter, some of the most advanced machines in existence. In part of their contributions, a vast majority of the outer, and have even headed several expeditions to the interior of the Zone. There are no laws in the Shatterzone, pirates run rampant in the sky on stolen Airships, and a cult of unknown origin frequently emerges from the mist of the Zone to claim technology on the outer circle. For what purpose the Order does not yet know, but they have proven to be hostile, and are to be avoided at all costs. "
"Welcome to the flying Explorer Ship, Tychon, steel yourself for the unexpected and unknown."

--Quartermaster Lindow Berindar of the Cobalt Trireme, "Tychon"

This RP is going to center around the crew of the Airship Tychon, a massive exploratory vessel designed to explore and repossess technology in the foresaken area of the world known as "The Shatterzone." There are a few other playable races aside from humans but I'll go into more detail when the OOC gets made.

This looks like it might be fun. Tentative interest pending details on playable races.

Consider me intrigued. Good concept, I'll be watching this thread! Y'know, in a non-creepy context.

If you have any suggestions for a race, I'd be welcome to hear it. I'm a bit stretched for ideas beyond the 2 Playable ones I have.

Possibly some kind of reptilian? A lizard-man feel, perhaps.

Lizard men are a possibility, though I'm not sure how they'd differ from others aside from being, well, lizards.

I feel that I should also mention that the weaponry level would be at about WW2 level in terms of firearms, here is some degree of magic, though I'll go into more detail in the OOC.
Word of advice: Swords are never bad to have, even against guns. Because Stabbies!

A closer comparison would be Dieselpunk, with a bit of Atompunk being thrown in later. Most of the Technology we'd find would be radical improvments, just for an example: Finding an improved engine by salvaging it from a Shatterzone scrapyard, or finding more efficient rifle models, etc.
Magic is also a thing.

Lizardfolk are tougher and stronger than humans, but are cold-blooded (so woe betide you if you're caught out in the cold). They also have access to different magic.
