This is the fixed version for you to look over, I set it in noparse so that you can see the coding work and such. Copy and paste it into the box and tell me how it looks.
Edit: Switched it to [code] so that it looks nice on the eyes.

[indent] Poppy hasn't accomplished a whole lot in her life, and boy won't her parents let her forget it! She was a poor student, dropping out of college. Works an average jane job at a gas station and barely makes enough to survive. So if you are anyone the chances of you knowing of Poppy is slim and if you are in that small percentage then you more than likely know her as verbally aggressive and genuinely unpleasant to be around. Who you would of heard of? Her parents; her mother Naomi is a chemist who has won several awards for her work, and her father, Bastion, is a highly sought after neurologist. You wouldn't ever hear them speak about their only child, but those in the field that knew about her knew that she was an embarrassment to her parents. And Poppy resented that to no end until one evening she discovered that there was a way for her to become her own kind of scientific breakthrough. The Human-Hybrid experiment was going to be her time to shine![/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]HEIGHT[/sub][/color]
[indent]post-alterations she stands at 4'11 [/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]WEIGHT[/sub][/color]
[indent] 68lbs [/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]APPEARANCE[/sub][/color]
[indent]she looks different now than she did before. Most of the subjects did, though considering some of the others she was lucky she didn't grow a beak. She used to have long light blond hair but something in the injections turned her it green, she kinda liked it. Her eyes were the same ice blue as her father's. She had always been short, she suspected it was due to the Asian on her mother's side, but she had lost several of those precious inches during the alterations. Though what she had gained ment so much more to her, her wings. She had a set of four, she was told the extra pair was was due to her size and lack of tail feathers, you better believe it was the first and probably only time special accommodations had to be made for her because she was too tall! They were a beautiful emerald with shades of jewels streaked throughout them, much like her namesake. The top pair spread high above her shoulders while the bottom set were angled lower to help her pilot as well as bear some of her weight. Her wingspan was only about five and a half feet from tip to tip, they both tucked beautifully onto her back.
Clothing wise Poppy was kind of basic. She wore shorts if it was hot, jeans if it wasn't. Usually the jeans had tears in them just because it drove her mother nuts. She had to alter all her shirts to backless. She usually wore arm warmers that stopped just below her shoulders because she hated being cold. She avoids covering her wings but when she has to she wears a loose fitting jacket.
[/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]POSITIVE TRAITS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=#6AA121] Ride or Die- [/color] Once you earn her loyalty and friendship Poppy is ride or die. She will defend you, she will align herself to you every time, she will stick with you too the end, unless (of course) you betray her trust in some extreme way. Then you have yourself a lifelong enemy.
[*][color=#6AA121] Double Dog Dare You-[/color] Poppy is very daring and brave, no feat is too big for her. Especially since she's been part of Maximation she has felt the need to prove herself. Just because she was one of the smaller non- predatory hybrids doesn't mean that she couldn't cause some heavy damage.
[*] [color=#6AA121]I feel for you, Bro-[/color] This is a trait she has always tried to hide but Poppy is very empathetic. Especially if you willingly open your emotions to her, she will feel all of them with you. She often tries to change the subject from emotional things by distracting with her crude or dry humor.
[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]NEGATIVE TRAITS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6AA121] This girl can hold a grudge. [/color]- she has a hard time letting go when she feels like she has been wronged. Where her biggest case of resentment was directed at her parents before the Human-Hybrid experiments now for obvious reasons she had a fiery grudge against Maximation.
[*][color=#6AA121] Wait, what was I doing?-[/color] This trait is suspected to be due to her brain always being in 'hummingbird mode' even if she wasn't. When she is just going about her day to day business her mind seems to almost always be two steps ahead of her. She is easily distracted and usually has to take a few seconds to set herself back on track.
[*][color=#6AA121] Since when is being funny a bad thing?-[/color] she is constantly sarcastic and loves to crack jokes, often at somebody else's expense or at extremely inappropriate times. She doesn't care in the least if anyone else finds her comments funny, she's content to laugh at her own jokes.
[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]QUIRKS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6aa121] Scared of the Dark-[/color] Poppy has been scared of the dark since she was a child. She just feels so [i] alone[/i] in the dark. To help her deal with this she sleeps with a night light and teddy or she will randomly be found in a comrades bed in the morning. Her only response being a sleepy "Quit yer bitchin' ".
[*][color=#6aa121] FEED ME[/color]- Due to her parent animals metabolic rate she has to eat pretty often. To help with this special juice boxes were made for her that contain a ridiculous amount of calories and she is very seldom seen without one. She also keeps food pills on her for emergencies.
[*][color=#6aa121] It's not a Fetish!!!![/color]- She has a thing with hair, she just likes to touch it. Sometimes she will do it without even realizing it. Most importantly if anyone ever even thinks "hair fetish" in her direction she will rip them a new ass.[/list][/indent]

[color=aquamarine][sub]POWERS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6AA121] I believe I can fly~[/color] Poppy has four wings and with then she can fly incredibly fast. Her top pair are for speed, though all of her wings beat quickly these support the majority of her weight. the bottom two wings are mostly for helping her change direction quickly, keeping her incredibly agile in the air.
[*] [color=#6aa121] Can't touch this~[/color]Due to her quick pace she has extremely heightened senses and can often times sense movement in the air around her, meaning she is very hard to sneak up on.
[*][color=#6aa121]And going, and going, and going[/color] Poppy has crazy stamina, just as long as she can keep up with the calorie burning !
[*][color=#6aa121] Bada Bing Bada Boom! [/color]Hummingbirds are incredibly fragile, to counter this when the scientist sent in microbytes to hollow out her bones for flight the then followed it with injections to coat her bones in magnesium alloy. They explained that it's the strength of titanium with the weight of aluminum. Honestly it's where most of her weight comes from. This doesn't protect her from bullets or blades but it does make her able to endure more blunt damage with only bruises instead of broken bones. Not to mention it makes it especially enjoyable to ram into people and things.
[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]WEAKNESSES[/sub][/color]
[Indent][list][*] [color=#6aa121] Baby, it's cold outside-[/color]Bluntly, if Poppy gets too cold she will die. She enters a state called torpor, her metabolic rate slows to a fifteenth of her normal sleep rate, her heart sludges nearly to a halt, barely beating, and if she is not soon warmed shell die.
[*][color=#6aa121] FEED ME MOAR[/color]- Previously mentioned is her need to consume large amounts of calories, a darker side of this is that if she doesn't eat in a solid 36 hours she will starve to death.
[*][color=#6aa121] Still afraid of the Dark-[/color] For all her flying capabilities she is useless if she loses visibility. She does not have night vision and if she flys in the dark she can not even go half her normal speed and she still will more than likely be running into everything. At least she can't break her own neck. Not to mention her physiological fear of the dark, which makes her more paranoid less able to focus.[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]CARCINOGENIC QUALITIES[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6AA121] Chest pain[/color] - Poppy will be randomly stricken with chest pains. It would be when she's exerting herself or when she's taking it easy, and it can range anywhere from uncomfortable to debilitating.
[*][color=#6AA121] Stiffy[/color] Since her bones have been both hollowed out and reinforced on cold days it's hard for her to loosened up, and it can be quite painful.
[*][color=#6aa121]Move Yo Body-[/color] Since she has entirely new appendages, every once in a while she will lose control of her wings. They can stop moving all together or have nerve spasms where they flop around without her consent. Again the severity can range from a twitch to the YMCA.[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]SURVIVAL RATE[/sub][/color][ hr]
[indent]Poppy has 2-4/years to live based on how hard she works her heart.
[Color=#6aa121] Poppy hasn't developed any sort of cancerous mass, liken the others (at least not yet). She's suffering the same life risks of the animal her DNA got spliced with. All the fail safes that got put in place for her heart to be stronger than her predecessor failed her miserably. Now they are giving her just a few years before her heart gives out on her completely. After all [/color][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]FEARS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=#6aa121] Have I mentioned the Dark? [/color] Poppy has been scared in the dark too many times in her life to ever get over it. Being in the black loneliness has always seized at her heart and now with her death looming the fear of being alone in the darkness for good terrifies her.
[*[color=#6aa121]Fear of the Failure[/color] She fears finally finding a place she belongs, people who believe in her and then letting them down. She's been a disappointment for so long that she doesn't think she could take it if that happened which is why she pushes people away even if she desperately wants a friend.
[*][color=#6aa121] heavy [/color] Since she was graced with the ability of flight she has been terrified that she is going to lose it. That her wings will be broken or her body will be too heavy for her wings to lift. She has nightmares about it all the time.[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE?[/sub][/color]
[indent] Poppy has always wanted to learn how to cook.She lived off of ramen and tv dinners for years. She wants to known how to [i] really [/i] cook.[/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]HISTORY[/sub][/color]
[indent]Penelope's birth was planned out just as much as her life had been. It was a rude awakening to her parents when they realized that all of their text book methods and methodically thought out plans ment nothing to a two-year old. Poppy had never been a well behaved child though Mr and Mrs LaRue would never account it to their absence in their daughters life, even going as far as hiring a wet nurse because Naomi could not be taken away from her research long enough to feed her child herself. Poppy never even had the luxury of becoming close to her nanny because when the LaRue's did come home and their child did not listen to them it was the nanny that had to accept the consequences.
Later on in life she made it a game to see how quickly she could get her nannies fired her record was the same day the poor woman was hired. She told herself not to feel guilty about it, these women would of gotten fired anyway l. There was no way that she would magically wake up one morning and stop being a disappointment to her parents. She'd never be a doctor,she'd never be a scientist. So that made her insignificant to them. They would occasionally attempt to be the parents they were supposed to be, making promises they never bothered to keep. As you can imagine the teenage angst was strong with this one, making her push away anyone who she may of been able to make friends with.
When Poppy turned 18 she got the helll out of there and never turned back. Life wasn't easy and she struggled,being homeless more than once. With her parents helping hand no where in sight she dragged herself out of the situations she got herself into. She learned that she had a lot more determination than she had giver herself credit for. Showpiece herself together as a person and sure she wasn't sweet, she wasn't the girl everyone would love but she had finally come to terms with herself. Years had went by without Poppy thinking more than a few seconds about her parents. But then,like they did , they reached out to her, calling her home for Christmas. She should of declined but the idea of spending another holiday alone hurt somewhere deep. So, she went home. It was a nightmare it took no time at all for them to start berating her for her faults, asking her if she was done being a 'spoiled child' and if she was ready to 'come back home and take responsibility' that 'the least she could do was marry someone respectable so her children could continue the family legacy' she was flabbergasted, it had been years since they had last spoke. She shouldn't of been surprised. In the calmest act she stood up and left, oh but did the fire hit her later. She tore apart her apartment, screaming and crying. It wasn't until she was cleaning up the mess that she found the newspaper, partially torn, requesting civilians volunteers for an experiment and at that second she knew. She was going to make a legacy that even her parents couldn't outshine.

[h3][i][color=#6aa121] It’s expensive to fly. You burn out. You fry the machine. You melt the engine. Every creature on earth has approximately two billion heartbeats to spend in a lifetime. You can spend them slowly, like a tortoise and live to be two hundred years old, or you can spend them fast, like a hummingbird, and live to be two years old

[color=aquamarine][sub]REPUTATION[/sub][/color]
[indent] Poppy hasn't accomplished a whole lot in her life, and boy won't her parents let her forget it! She was a poor student, dropping out of college. Works an average jane job at a gas station and barely makes enough to survive. So if you are anyone the chances of you knowing of Poppy is slim and if you are in that small percentage then you more than likely know her as verbally aggressive and genuinely unpleasant to be around. Who you would of heard of? Her parents; her mother Naomi is a chemist who has won several awards for her work, and her father, Bastion, is a highly sought after neurologist. You wouldn't ever hear them speak about their only child, but those in the field that knew about her knew that she was an embarrassment to her parents. And Poppy resented that to no end until one evening she discovered that there was a way for her to become her own kind of scientific breakthrough. The Human-Hybrid experiment was going to be her time to shine![/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]HEIGHT[/sub][/color]
[indent]post-alterations she stands at 4'11 [/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]WEIGHT[/sub][/color]
[indent] 68lbs [/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]APPEARANCE[/sub][/color]
[indent]she looks different now than she did before. Most of the subjects did, though considering some of the others she was lucky she didn't grow a beak. She used to have long light blond hair but something in the injections turned her it green, she kinda liked it. Her eyes were the same ice blue as her father's. She had always been short, she suspected it was due to the Asian on her mother's side, but she had lost several of those precious inches during the alterations. Though what she had gained ment so much more to her, her wings. She had a set of four, she was told the extra pair was was due to her size and lack of tail feathers, you better believe it was the first and probably only time special accommodations had to be made for her because she was too tall! They were a beautiful emerald with shades of jewels streaked throughout them, much like her namesake. The top pair spread high above her shoulders while the bottom set were angled lower to help her pilot as well as bear some of her weight. Her wingspan was only about five and a half feet from tip to tip, they both tucked beautifully onto her back.
Clothing wise Poppy was kind of basic. She wore shorts if it was hot, jeans if it wasn't. Usually the jeans had tears in them just because it drove her mother nuts. She had to alter all her shirts to backless. She usually wore arm warmers that stopped just below her shoulders because she hated being cold. She avoids covering her wings but when she has to she wears a loose fitting jacket.
[/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]POSITIVE TRAITS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=#6AA121] Ride or Die- [/color] Once you earn her loyalty and friendship Poppy is ride or die. She will defend you, she will align herself to you every time, she will stick with you too the end, unless (of course) you betray her trust in some extreme way. Then you have yourself a lifelong enemy.
[*][color=#6AA121] Double Dog Dare You-[/color] Poppy is very daring and brave, no feat is too big for her. Especially since she's been part of Maximation she has felt the need to prove herself. Just because she was one of the smaller non- predatory hybrids doesn't mean that she couldn't cause some heavy damage.
[*] [color=#6AA121]I feel for you, Bro-[/color] This is a trait she has always tried to hide but Poppy is very empathetic. Especially if you willingly open your emotions to her, she will feel all of them with you. She often tries to change the subject from emotional things by distracting with her crude or dry humor.
[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]NEGATIVE TRAITS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6AA121] This girl can hold a grudge. [/color]- she has a hard time letting go when she feels like she has been wronged. Where her biggest case of resentment was directed at her parents before the Human-Hybrid experiments now for obvious reasons she had a fiery grudge against Maximation.
[*][color=#6AA121] Wait, what was I doing?-[/color] This trait is suspected to be due to her brain always being in 'hummingbird mode' even if she wasn't. When she is just going about her day to day business her mind seems to almost always be two steps ahead of her. She is easily distracted and usually has to take a few seconds to set herself back on track.
[*][color=#6AA121] Since when is being funny a bad thing?-[/color] she is constantly sarcastic and loves to crack jokes, often at somebody else's expense or at extremely inappropriate times. She doesn't care in the least if anyone else finds her comments funny, she's content to laugh at her own jokes.
[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]QUIRKS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6aa121] Scared of the Dark-[/color] Poppy has been scared of the dark since she was a child. She just feels so [i] alone[/i] in the dark. To help her deal with this she sleeps with a night light and teddy or she will randomly be found in a comrades bed in the morning. Her only response being a sleepy "Quit yer bitchin' ".
[*][color=#6aa121] FEED ME[/color]- Due to her parent animals metabolic rate she has to eat pretty often. To help with this special juice boxes were made for her that contain a ridiculous amount of calories and she is very seldom seen without one. She also keeps food pills on her for emergencies.
[*][color=#6aa121] It's not a Fetish!!!![/color]- She has a thing with hair, she just likes to touch it. Sometimes she will do it without even realizing it. Most importantly if anyone ever even thinks "hair fetish" in her direction she will rip them a new ass.[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]ANIMAL[/sub][/color]
[indent]Hummingbird[/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]POWERS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6AA121] I believe I can fly~[/color] Poppy has four wings and with then she can fly incredibly fast. Her top pair are for speed, though all of her wings beat quickly these support the majority of her weight. the bottom two wings are mostly for helping her change direction quickly, keeping her incredibly agile in the air.
[*] [color=#6aa121] Can't touch this~[/color]Due to her quick pace she has extremely heightened senses and can often times sense movement in the air around her, meaning she is very hard to sneak up on.
[*][color=#6aa121]And going, and going, and going[/color] Poppy has crazy stamina, just as long as she can keep up with the calorie burning !
[*][color=#6aa121] Bada Bing Bada Boom! [/color]Hummingbirds are incredibly fragile, to counter this when the scientist sent in microbytes to hollow out her bones for flight the then followed it with injections to coat her bones in magnesium alloy. They explained that it's the strength of titanium with the weight of aluminum. Honestly it's where most of her weight comes from. This doesn't protect her from bullets or blades but it does make her able to endure more blunt damage with only bruises instead of broken bones. Not to mention it makes it especially enjoyable to ram into people and things.
[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]WEAKNESSES[/sub][/color]
[Indent][list][*] [color=#6aa121] Baby, it's cold outside-[/color]Bluntly, if Poppy gets too cold she will die. She enters a state called torpor, her metabolic rate slows to a fifteenth of her normal sleep rate, her heart sludges nearly to a halt, barely beating, and if she is not soon warmed shell die.
[*][color=#6aa121] FEED ME MOAR[/color]- Previously mentioned is her need to consume large amounts of calories, a darker side of this is that if she doesn't eat in a solid 36 hours she will starve to death.
[*][color=#6aa121] Still afraid of the Dark-[/color] For all her flying capabilities she is useless if she loses visibility. She does not have night vision and if she flys in the dark she can not even go half her normal speed and she still will more than likely be running into everything. At least she can't break her own neck. Not to mention her physiological fear of the dark, which makes her more paranoid less able to focus.[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]CARCINOGENIC QUALITIES[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*] [color=#6AA121] Chest pain[/color] - Poppy will be randomly stricken with chest pains. It would be when she's exerting herself or when she's taking it easy, and it can range anywhere from uncomfortable to debilitating.
[*][color=#6AA121] Stiffy[/color] Since her bones have been both hollowed out and reinforced on cold days it's hard for her to loosened up, and it can be quite painful.
[*][color=#6aa121]Move Yo Body-[/color] Since she has entirely new appendages, every once in a while she will lose control of her wings. They can stop moving all together or have nerve spasms where they flop around without her consent. Again the severity can range from a twitch to the YMCA.[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]SURVIVAL RATE[/sub][/color][ hr]
[indent]Poppy has 2-4/years to live based on how hard she works her heart.
[Color=#6aa121] Poppy hasn't developed any sort of cancerous mass, liken the others (at least not yet). She's suffering the same life risks of the animal her DNA got spliced with. All the fail safes that got put in place for her heart to be stronger than her predecessor failed her miserably. Now they are giving her just a few years before her heart gives out on her completely. After all [/color][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]FEARS[/sub][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=#6aa121] Have I mentioned the Dark? [/color] Poppy has been scared in the dark too many times in her life to ever get over it. Being in the black loneliness has always seized at her heart and now with her death looming the fear of being alone in the darkness for good terrifies her.
[*[color=#6aa121]Fear of the Failure[/color] She fears finally finding a place she belongs, people who believe in her and then letting them down. She's been a disappointment for so long that she doesn't think she could take it if that happened which is why she pushes people away even if she desperately wants a friend.
[*][color=#6aa121] heavy [/color] Since she was graced with the ability of flight she has been terrified that she is going to lose it. That her wings will be broken or her body will be too heavy for her wings to lift. She has nightmares about it all the time.[/list][/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE?[/sub][/color]
[indent] Poppy has always wanted to learn how to cook.She lived off of ramen and tv dinners for years. She wants to known how to [i] really [/i] cook.[/indent]
[color=aquamarine][sub]HISTORY[/sub][/color]
[indent]Penelope's birth was planned out just as much as her life had been. It was a rude awakening to her parents when they realized that all of their text book methods and methodically thought out plans ment nothing to a two-year old. Poppy had never been a well behaved child though Mr and Mrs LaRue would never account it to their absence in their daughters life, even going as far as hiring a wet nurse because Naomi could not be taken away from her research long enough to feed her child herself. Poppy never even had the luxury of becoming close to her nanny because when the LaRue's did come home and their child did not listen to them it was the nanny that had to accept the consequences.
Later on in life she made it a game to see how quickly she could get her nannies fired her record was the same day the poor woman was hired. She told herself not to feel guilty about it, these women would of gotten fired anyway l. There was no way that she would magically wake up one morning and stop being a disappointment to her parents. She'd never be a doctor,she'd never be a scientist. So that made her insignificant to them. They would occasionally attempt to be the parents they were supposed to be, making promises they never bothered to keep. As you can imagine the teenage angst was strong with this one, making her push away anyone who she may of been able to make friends with.
When Poppy turned 18 she got the helll out of there and never turned back. Life wasn't easy and she struggled,being homeless more than once. With her parents helping hand no where in sight she dragged herself out of the situations she got herself into. She learned that she had a lot more determination than she had giver herself credit for. Showpiece herself together as a person and sure she wasn't sweet, she wasn't the girl everyone would love but she had finally come to terms with herself. Years had went by without Poppy thinking more than a few seconds about her parents. But then,like they did , they reached out to her, calling her home for Christmas. She should of declined but the idea of spending another holiday alone hurt somewhere deep. So, she went home. It was a nightmare it took no time at all for them to start berating her for her faults, asking her if she was done being a 'spoiled child' and if she was ready to 'come back home and take responsibility' that 'the least she could do was marry someone respectable so her children could continue the family legacy' she was flabbergasted, it had been years since they had last spoke. She shouldn't of been surprised. In the calmest act she stood up and left, oh but did the fire hit her later. She tore apart her apartment, screaming and crying. It wasn't until she was cleaning up the mess that she found the newspaper, partially torn, requesting civilians volunteers for an experiment and at that second she knew. She was going to make a legacy that even her parents couldn't outshine.

Bump/Test post.
The Technocracy of Tezzarice
10:00, 5th of January, 1900
“Grand Inventor, if I may have a moment of your time. I know you are extremely busy but we have a message from the lands of Volanth.” The pudgy man who entered the small throne room, one mostly filled by books and sketches of designs, seemed to jiggle as he tiptoed through to the man who sat in the middle of the floor. The Grand Inventor wasn’t quite what everyone imagined, though those who saw him at work would know full well that the man in kingly dressed is not the same as the one before them for he was disheveled, unshaven, and certainly had missed a few meals and more than a few hours of sleep.
“Hmm? Yes, what is it Frond,” He replied to the man with a voice which was certainly lacking in any formality and even more so by referring to a Councilman elected by the Trade Guild by such a nickname.
“I told you to call me Councilman Frondin. You really must work on your formality sir, a single slip up and the emissaries from other nations could mistake you for a simpleton or worse, a fool.”
“I would doubt any man would dare raise such a word to a man of my level,” the Grand Inventor said plainly as he scribbled down a design and put it in a pile next to him.
“Yes, yes. I know Grand Inventor. Anyway, it seems that the Emperor of Volanth will host a ‘World Fair’ in a month and we are invited to display our inventions. Of course, I will accept their offer but I must ask. Will your invention be done by then?” The man fidgeted around, look at the rough designs and piles of research which had accumulated around his Lord.
“I am… unsure Frond. By theory, it should work and be ready by the time the Fair arrives but that is only if the Engineers can make it properly and my research is flawless. A hot air balloon is child’s play to what I am doing. This must be able to lift a lot more to be useful to us. Even more work must be done for it to not seem like we wasted our time. First it must lift off the ground alone, then it must lift off the ground with people. Even I can’t predict whether it will work.”
Frond had been stunned, it was the first and perhaps only time he had heard any Grand Inventor admit that their invention may not work, let alone admit that the years worth of research done for it had been for nothing. Yet, he knew this was how the Grand Inventor had become popular with the Flyer’s Guild. He had no sense of pride in his works, even knowing how smart he was, and yet he always worked hard to make sure he didn’t fail. Whatever Harold Ulius was working on would surely succeed if he put his mind to it.
“Very well, I will send a message that it may be ready by then but that we cannot promise anything. We also must discuss the representative to talk about the-”
“Send Amellia, my Son, and that old codger, oh what was his name? Oh! Yes, send Tallion. He could use some time out of his workshop with all those planes he has been building and he’ll be needed to discuss the construction and working of the railway.”
“Very well sir. That’ll be all,” the Councilman said as he closed the doors to the throne room and walked away. His Grand Inventor truly lacked any tact when in private conversations yet seemed to be a master of political games when he was dealing with others. Such a strange man.
Location: The Grand City of Heliun, easternmost border of Tezzar.
‘Dear Amellia,
I hope you are doing well this day, what with having such a boring post and simply overlooking the training regime of our soldiers. A message from the Grand Inventor: You, Bernhardt, and Maester Tallion are to head to the conference that Volanth is hosting in two weeks in order to discuss the railway. Please keep Tallion in line, you know how that man has grown senile in his years.
At your service,
Councilman Severis Frondin.
Councilman Severis Frondin.
The woman sighed and pushed her chair away from the desk, shaking her head at the message and the idea of having to go to such a mundane meeting. She was the one best equipped to meet them, but why did she have to take Bernhardt? The gall of the Grand Inventor had only grown since he took his position a year ago, continuously finding a reason for his son to get close to her. She had put aside his advances, after all it was impure to be involved with another officer, but she couldn’t put aside the fact that Bernhardt certainly was charming.
Either way, the Commander of the entire Army of Tezzar couldn’t waste time while she was away. She called in Commander Helios, a man she looked up to for his way of leading his forces though he had started to grow tired of the War Guild and had begun to talk more about retirement. “Commander, I called you here to address you about something of the utmost importance. It seems that the Grand Inventor is sending me, Bernhardt, and Maester Tallion to meet with the Empire and discuss the railway. During that time away, I will entrust you to lead the forces here in Heliun and maintain the status of our troops. You will not disappoint me, correct?”
It didn’t feel right to her, talking down to a man she respected so much, but it was how she must address a soldier who was beneath her in rank. The man’s response was as expected. “I will not Grand Commander. Disappointing you would put dishonor and my family, something my sons could never bear as they look for a position such as the one I hold now.” He gave a bow to her and left, knowing full well that the conversation was over at that she had said what was needed, his duties now were to begin work on assuming the temporary position.
“How low of us to have to go to a meeting with such a foolish nation. The things we do to protect our people and our technology is amazing.”
The Technocracy of Tezzarice
Government: Democratic Technocracy
The Technocracy of Tezzarice, or simple called Tezzar, is ruled by a council and the Great Inventor. The council is elected by the five technician Guilds within the nation, each one focused on different aspects of research in order to improve upon the life of those who live within. Similarly, the Great Inventor is chosen by the thirteen members of the Council every five years from the members of the Guilds. Generally, the Inventor who is elected to this position has proven their worth and obtained a high rank in their Guild through deep research and creation of new ideas.
Species:
Culture:
The people of Tezzar were once slaves to other races, being weaker and smaller than them made them the perfect targets for such attacks. Yet, they were a smart people whose drive to be free was only equally matched by their drive to have something of theirs withstand the test of time. As such, they consider innovation to be their greatest asset and those who create new ideas or perform research into technology are the pinnacle of their society. Few, if any, could match a Tezzaricine in any game requiring the use of their mind, especially not their inventors who are famed for being able to create new tools faster than anybody else.
Those who become inventors join one of five Guilds, each with their own purpose inside Tezzar. The Naval Guild focuses on research pertaining to seafaring vessels, so on and so forth for the other Guilds. Most powerful all the Guilds is the Flight Guild, one which has gained major traction with the people of Tezzar over the years as the Grand Inventors who have come out of it have always lead the nation further into greatness, even more so than the other Grand Inventors before them. The downside of the so called democracy is that those who vote are only members of the Guilds, nobody else. Anybody who isn’t a member of the Guild isn’t considered capable enough to handle the knowledge required to make an educated vote.
Well, that and that the people of Tezzar keep humans and other similar races as slaves should they be captured in battle. Though, there are some cases where humans who have proven their worth were allowed to enter a Guild with limited rights, most of these humans happened to do manual labor which many of the Inventors were unwilling to do. Even then, they were never treated as anything more than a lesser species which had formerly oppressed the Tezzaricine in ages past.
Economy:
The economy of Tezzar is strong, albeit it is mostly one supported by exports and imports due to the lack of production capability to fully support the people of Tezzar and all their slaves agriculturally. Their primary exports, on the other hand, happen to be tech required to build planes and the beginning of tech to build blimps as well as scout balloons. What resources they can’t get in their homeland, they import from off-shore colonies and other Empires willing to do trade with them. That is to say that the inner workings of the economy of Tezzar keep the people happy over all.
Technology:
If there is a piece of tech introduced in the world within the past few decades, it likely was a product made by the Tezzaricine Inventors. Their drive to be the leaders in the world’s technology and always maintain the upper hand as such. Though their military might is lacking, similarly so for their Naval might, they make up for it with the level of Tech by which their soldiers, ships, and planes are equipped. Most soldiers in the Tezzaricine army are equipped with the most advanced guns for the time, their planes with the strongest engines, and their ships with guns to protect them. There is even word that the Inventors are working on the creation of a device that is basically a armored car but capable of travelling over near any terrain and going into war.
Army:
The Tezzar Army is well equipped and well maintained by forces who are comprised of the War Guild and a few slaves who, after years of managing in the hands of the War Guild, are submissive enough and well enough trained to do basic jobs such as dig trenches, set up barbed wire, lay down mine, and build barricades. The Army is comprised of an Engineer’s Corps and the Infantry. Each number close a million soldiers with many different companies. Detailed down below are several of the Major Figures in the Tezzar Army and which Battalions serve under them.
Navy:
The Navy of Tezzar is… lacking in combat potential as the majority of the boats are simply merchant ships outfitted with weapons making them capable of self defence. Any attempt at maintaining an aquatic war without support of the Flyer’s Guild would lead to the destruction of all the Naval Guild’s forces. Many of these merchant ships are made from quality steel plates and fire heavy cannons which can deal a large amount of damage, though even the largest of the merchant ships can only support three of these cannons at most with many preferring to equip around six smaller cannons. Detailed below are the important members of the Navy.
Air Force:
The Air Force of Tezzar is the nation’s grand jewel, far exceeding the Navy and Army in pure firepower and capability in combat. Many of the biplanes of Tezzar are fitted for combat in one of two ways. Either they are made to be Bombers or they are Assault planes equipped with automatic guns. Both are equally deadly in their own right and both are equipped with hulls that are tough but light. Detailed below are the important members of the Tezzar Air Force.
Territory:
Rolls:

Note: None of these art works are mine at all. There is also a lot of them.
