Anemia sucks. I feel like there's an invisible vampire sucking my energy through a straw.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPROVED CHARACTERS

This is very important and very serious so pay close attention! At the end of this post is a list of approved characters. If your character is approved, follow these instructions carefully:

Go back to your CS post, copy the whole CS, and then paste it as a new reply under the Characters tab. Do not use hiders. This is a selfish request by me; I often need to quickly skim lots of sheets at once. A hider-free Characters tab makes Mokley a happy panda!


After you have successfully posted your shiny approved CS under the Characters tab without hiders -- because you're an amazing and awesome person who follows instructions -- please complete the following survey and post your answers here in the OOC:

  • What is your usual posting speed?
    • AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
    • Once a day.
    • A few times a week.
    • Once a week.
    • I try to post when I can but life happens, y'know?
    • Molasses. But my posts are AWESOME.

  • Choose one:
    • Sword
    • Shield
    • Bandage
    • Seed
    • Crown
    • Wand
    • Book

  • Dragons or kittens?

  • Name a vegetable.

Thus concludes the short survey. Thank you for participating.
A FRIENDLY NOTE FROM YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD GM

There are a lot of characters here, and I'm sure most of us realize the potential chaos this fact might pose. Just before the RP begins I'm going to separate you all into smaller groups -- more details on that later. I promise to read everything everyone writes, but I can't promise I will personally acknowledge every character at every GM post. I wish I could, but I'm sure you don't want to read a wall of text either. ;) I trust you guys to interact with and support each other's characters -- or antagonize them, whichever you do best. I want everyone to feel included and like they're contributing to the story, but I'll need your help.
CHARACTERS WHO HAVE ACHIEVED APPROVAL


Emma Sommers, a plucky, easygoing botanist and expert healer with a dark secret.
Excellent motivation behind the character -- and the first of at least two appearances by mysterious hooded people. I adore dark secrets.


Alexander (Alex) Haile, a jokester militiaman with a habit of troublemaking and a drive for adventure.
We can definitely use a firearms marksman and a curious adventurer! I can help you a little with your coding, if you like. Check under the hider:



Novas Laquis, the inventive smith.
Very cool concept, and a neat addition to the mystery of the plot. The second appearance of mysterious hooded figures, and insight into their intentions!


Andica Garun, a runaway bookbinder trying to escape an awful match.
This is hilarious and wonderful. And a doggy as well!


Theodore Taylor, a sharply dressed man with a heavy heart.
As a direct juxtaposition of Andica, this one is worthy of a few tears. He needs a hug -- or a good adventure. Cool addition to potential plot down the road!


Meryn, the quiet, roof-hopping delivery girl.
Really interesting and unique -- definitely adds a fresh element to the mix. Also, I like your picture. ;)


Fiammetta Anzivino, the proud daughter of a noble family with the heart of a lion and the soul of a warrior.
I don't know if you consider this complete yet, but it's approved anyway! She seems like a ton and a half of trouble. ;D


Roy, a simple woodcutter with a love for trees.
Very cool concept with a unique goal! Ideas for future encounters abound. We are definitely visiting some very unusual forests now.


Telio Lenocci, the artist who wants to draw the world.
Another wonderful concept with plenty of future possibilities -- and reasons for me to go crazy with description when the urge arises.


Redd Dreyden Jr., the son of a Traveller, finding his way.
I hope you don't mind, but I see Redd as sort of a blank slate ready to be molded by the adventures ahead. That is a very, very good thing. I'm thrilled, actually.


Aeliir "Ally" Neuveth, the lost guardian seeking purpose.
Very neat way of describing the character! I can't tell how she might develop as a character, and I think that's awesome.


Amelia Tywin, the little girl with a hunger for a new horizon.
This is such a sad story -- and it might get sadder if she continues awhile in a Traveller's shoes. But maybe she'll make friends along the way!


Lily Smith, a practical lady of the night who has decided it's time to move on.
First, you're an awesome artist! Holy cow! I really feel bad for your character's troubles but she's somehow very hopeful at the same time. Very cool.


Samieh Gaeard, a sly poacher and a brutish daughter.
I just really like her personality -- she seems like she can definitely hold her own. Lots of potential here.


Scarlett Autumnwalker, a calm head of red with a highly flammable heart.
Selfless grandpas will get me every damn time. She'll be a much needed spark of kindness on this adventure.


Sweeney Kane, a baker bored with the world within the wall.
I really like this. Boredom can be a profound motivator! And who doesn't like baked goods?


Lux, an investigator of mysteries and impossibilities
I really like the concept behind this character. The cases, and her ultimate objective, make for something pretty cool. Looking forward to meeting her!


Sharie Evered, an unorthodox militia engineer and rifleman.
Definitely an asset to the team and a fun personality! Just wait til we get to the cities with higher tech. ;D


Kelsier Solidor, a Traveller's son who wants adventure.
He seems to be a very hard-working, driven sort -- definitely a great asset to have on a journey.


Two spots are reserved.

WE'RE NOW CLOSED FOR NEW SUBMISSIONS! :D
Waiting for @needlingAsklepios at the moment.


Hmm, ok -- you two will round out the number to a nice 21. I'll save your spots and get everyone else moving, since @needlingAsklepios was last seen 3 hours ago. ;) Looking forward to those CS-es whenever they're ready! :D
it's your own fault really. you made your rp too interesting.

I know, I should be ashamed. XD

@Crimson Raven Looks cool! Just wanna make absolutely sure, though -- that sword is nothing special. ;)

If 19 characters is too many for a sensible group, would it be too much to have two games running in parallel? They would be kindof like AUs to each other, with half of the characters in each. Both sets can move through the adventure with less congestion, and pretty much ignore that the other one exists.

I actually considered that for a bit, but I've never attempted it. I mean, I'm sure it would work. The one thing I'm afraid of is if one RP dies and the other one keeps going, any characters left in the dying one can't really hop over to the one that's still running. The same if a player finds they'd rather be in the other one after all. I definitely plan to split you all into manageable groups from the getgo, at least. I think I have a plan. I think.

ARE THERE ANY MORE SHEETS IN THE WORKS? SPEAK NOW OR NO CAKE!


;)
<Snipped quote by Mokley>

Nope not like modern engineers, but more like say an architect. Like the stuff she deals with is uh, more primitive? Dealing more with simple machines, like pules and levers. It's kinda hard to describe I guess, maybe think like a medieval siege engineer but a lot less destruction and more creation.


Ooohhh I like it! Yeah I don't know another word for that -- engineer it is. Cool!

Also. There are EIGHTEEN character applications.

Guys.

....

You guys.

What?
@Damiann47 She's cool, but I'm not sure about the word "engineer" either. x3 Maybe inventor? Enn has no engines whatsoever, but maybe DaVinci-esque inventions and some novelty steam-powered toys. Perhaps she makes weird and unique machines that the city isn't quite sure what to do with? ;)

I think I should remove the Steampunk tag, it's just causing confusion for everyone so far. XD
@Mokley Can you tell us who's accepted yet?

I'd like to do one mass acceptance post and close submissions all in one shot. I plan to do this in the next couple hours.
Could I make a character who uses the technology? (I.e. Prosthetic arm)

Sorry, I'd have to advise against that. Every character, without exception, has been sheltered inside the city of Enn, which has no communication with other cities outside their own except for the Travellers. It's their own little bubble of existence. The technology does not exist in Enn to have a prosthetic arm outside of a hook or a stump. However, if you would like to obtain a working metal arm a bit later in the game, that is certainly possible.
The tag at the top says steampunk and I was wondering how advanced is the technology, exactly?

Technology in the starter city of Enn is roughly Reniassance-level technology. Clockwork and crude firearms, mostly. Steampunk is in the tag as an upper limit of the tech we'll encounter later.
All of these characters look amazing, you guys. I think I'll give it until this time tomorrow before I start actually approving anyone. By then we might have a fair idea how many players are planning to join up.

Feel free to collaborate and/or exchange notes on the city's residents in the meantime! Maybe somebody else has a cool idea that would fit into your CS.
@Diggerton Looks cool, but I'll reserve judgment til the OOC -- which, by the way, has just been posted. ;)
