Bio

I'm a generally chill gomboblin that can be kinda particular. I grew up with plenty of electronics and video games, mostly with games like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and StarCraft. Lots of Nintendo. Dark Cloud is pretty sick. That's a lot of variety, and I do like to play a lot of different games. I like to blend magic and technology in my writing, bringing fantasy into space and sci-fi.

Magic in space is something that I find isn't done very much. Airships and spaceships could make for some cool centerpieces. Skies of Arcadia did a fantastic job of this. Perhaps that's not in space, exactly, but it's pretty close. Some of those ships may as well be space ships.

Another post, up!

Science Fantasy is my favorite genre. :3
Serenity raised her head from the menu when she heard Leslie speak. Something happened while she was away...? She needed to get to the ground so she could talk with Hibiscus, then. The young woman climbed down the ladder carefully built into the side of the leg. Only when it was set down, like this, did the ladder really look like anything.

As she rounded the machine, to find her informant, she felt Vortex shift uneasily. While the two couldn't communicate without some form of external medium, Serenity could... sense Vortex, somehow. It was hard to explain without talking about philosophy first. But, that feeling set her a little on edge. She stepped to the front of the machine, waiting a moment before she'd speak. "Hibiscus."

"Can I call shotgun? Or am I riding up-top cowboy style?"

That's what she wanted to discuss now? "I... don't have any designs with passenger seating, so... Er, you're supposed to be briefing me on something, right? We can discuss passenger arrangements later." She eyed the dog sniffing her machine, once. She didn't really like Necromancy, herself, but it had its uses... she supposed. There were other ways of getting things done, though.

"What happ-" Serenity had raised a hand to lay on the side of her machine, and found a handle materialized for her to put her hand on. She looked at the handle, then the crystal, and after a beat turned her gaze back to Hibiscus. "Uh... what happened while I was away?"
Pyro, I think you should put the list of characters in the opening post.
Sooooooo who's Leslie, anyway? Lady in charge, I guess, but...?
Hmm... Y'know, I think Serenity should be 19. The more I think about it, the more I think 22 is just a little too old.

Am I being nitpicky?
Oh, it's my turn again? 'kay~
And quit callin' me Circus.
I'm glad it's been so well received. I look forward to the roleplay~

*makes grammar and flow corrections*
Hehe, glad you like her. She's quite the mechanical architect, gets it from her father.

Also, the walker isn't super huge or anything. It's mostly tall. It has to move through the forest, after all.
Kchree, kchree, kchree, kchree...

It was a very rhythmic sound, and very mechanical. A sleek, white mechanical walker strode through the forest. It was full of glowing blue lights, too. A crystal adorned the front of the mechanical creation, glowing with a light from within. Attached to the central, open-cockpit pod were four limbs: two arms, two legs. The arms were equipped for the task of planting saplings, with the right arm meant to pull dirt from the ground and then drop it gradually, while the left was designed to place the sapling within the hole. The legs were a lightweight reverse-joint design, and the footprint was 3 concentric horseshoes.

"How much farther, Vortex?"

"We're on our final approach now."

The energy spirit she called forth during that incident... Vortex. It was hard for Serenity to say whether she gave her the name or not. Whatever the case, Vortex had incredible capabilities Serenity found thrilling that she was, even now, exploring. The spirit could, through the crystal attached to the front of this machine, power and control it. What's more, Vortex could memorize blueprints and utilize any magitech attached to the machine at will. The one thing Vortex seemed to lack was her own desires, which... what was the nature of this entity, in the first place?

The girl rode her mechanical creation in, slowing down and taking more careful steps. Vortex was making small adjustments to avoid stepping on anything, but being careful couldn't hurt. "Hey, am I late?" Serenity smiled from the cockpit and accessed the holographic menu interface installed in the cockpit. She taps it a couple times and the two arms start to disintegrate. The magitech Matter engine built into the central pod was taking them apart and storing the materials for later use. The walker carefully positions itself before bending at the knee joints, lowering the cockpit to the ground and letting Serenity climb down and join the others on foot. As her seat turns and she climbs out, the others can see it's nice and padded.
Mm, yes. Posting.
