Shine City II: The Next Season

Akane Takumi

Akane Takumi

Age:

18

Appearance:

Akane has rather pale skin complimenting her dark brunette hair that reaches just past her neck. There is a hint of red within her straight hair coming from a dye of some sort. It goes well with her red scarf that she wears nearly always. It has become something of a symbol for her that makes her stand out from those with the normal Academy uniform. Akane has a young appearance overall and a rather lithe build.

Height:

5'2"

Weight:

104 Lbs.

Likes:

Sweets, Literature, Nature, Animals, Music, Video Games, Light Sports, Being Competitive

Dislikes:

Being Pressured, The Dark

Party Trick:

Akane's memory is astonishing. She has the ability to recall images, sounds, and objects after only short exposure periods.

Profession:

Student
Part-time work at Tiny Snowflake Restaurant

Bio/Personality:

Akane can be rather silent and shy at first, and has trouble keeping conversation going with new people, but once around a group of close friends, she can really open up and become a rather wild person. She is rather cold to those she first meets, but should someone be kind to her, Akane will give her best effort to make friends with them. Due to her constant reading, Akane has become quite the romantic, but her sheepishness has always prevented her from getting close to guys. Akane has always loved to joke, but she is often the type to keep it to herself, smiling while others don't understand why.

Akane grew up in a small household outside of Shine city, cared for by her brother in a rather small flat. They had originally come from a rather rich family, but parental disputes led the two of them to leave home when they could take care of themselves. Akane tends not to talk about her past because of this, but she does have a rather large sum of money that she holds in a reserve account, should she or her brother ever need it. Schoolwork has always taken precedence over leisure. Perhaps that is the cause of her introversion. As her brother was working quite often to support them, Akane was without much family time. Akane spent her down time reading or simply taking walks in the park, leading to a rather dull and boring childhood. Akane's friends were limited, which allowed her to move to Shine City with little to no issues or cares in the world. Now, with her brother off working, Akane has her home to herself and little to do. She took her job at the restaurant mainly to allow her and her brother some more money for leisure activities, and the actual human interaction was more of a byproduct.

Akane soon moved out, leaving her brother for Shine City Academy, though little has changed. Akane still tends to keep to herself and get rather good grades for her classes and she longs to be a social butterfly like all of her classmates.

Not a problem! I believe I have fixed everything up. Let me know if you need something else!

Time's a Changing - a Steampunk NRP set in a Psuedo-Earth

The Sultanate Of Aeterna

The Sultanate of Aeterna

Territory:

The Golden Territory is Aeterna

Description of Government:

The Sultanate of Aeterna is an absolute monarchy, more commonly called an autocracy, lead by the undoubted rule of a Sultan or Sultana. The children of the current Sultan are also given this title before their name, yet any spouse of the Sultan is not. Sultans and Sultanas come from the bloodline of the previous absolute monarch. The Sultanate of Aeterna does however have government influence from chosen advisors and aristocrats from Aeterna as well as The Aeternian Council. The Aeternian Council is a representative-based group of advisors with one representative from each Aeternian territory. This council is often given less credit than deserved, for they are often the group to create new policies within the Sultanate, and the Sultan chooses whether or not these policies are to be enacted. If a Sultan is to pass, his rule goes to the eldest or most able child, depending on the situation.

Current Sultan and Royal Family:

• Sultanah Cecily Aurelia
• Minerva Aurelia
• Lucas Aurelia
• Daniel Aurelia

Description of Economy:

The Sultanate of Aeterna runs on a mixed economy where most of the resource generation and harvesting are privately run by common folk, but some production of goods, particularly military goods. Aeterna's sources of wealth are rather widespread. Its main industries are fishing and agriculture, mining, and industrial production.

Agriculture and Fishing
With large seasonal floodplains surrounding Aeterna's large freshwater river that runs throughout their entire territory, agriculture nets the Aeternian people a rather large source of food. The main crops grown around the river are grains and vegetables. Thanks to the yearly inundations from the river, fertile soil is abundant. Cattle, goats, and fowl are kept around as well to diversify the agricultural industry. There is very little game in the sandy deserts of Aeterna, causing hunting to provide little to no industry, but hunting is occasionally played as sport.

Mining
Aeterna, much unlike other nations, actually has a rather rare amount of Blue Coal in its soil. Instead, their mines have another hot commodity. Within Aeternian grounds lie a rich supply of Natural Gas, which is extracted and synthesized into numerous other precious gasses. They also have a relatively high amount of normal coal within their ground. This allows for much more small scale and personal used of steam power.

Production
The industry in Aeterna runs rampant with some privately owned and others government sanctioned. Production of airships is the largest industry within Aeterna due to the large supply of Natural Gas that can be synthesized into Hydrogen and Helium, but due to the desert-like landscape, wood and other natural resources used in production are in need of importing. Other military goods have a large industry in Aeterna, causing them to be a large exporter and manufacturer of weaponry, militarized airships, and tanks alike.

Description of Culture:

Aeternian cities are known for being rather lively and bustling with citizens, merchants, and travelers alike. The current Sultana is known for being quite gracious with the liberties of her people, allowing them to be free to do what the wish. Aeterna has a very distinct class system. This causes people with positions close to the Sultan or military workers to live luxurious lives while there is a distinct working class that those that work in factories and mines inhabit. The wages are too greatly different, but the gap is there. Propaganda runs rampant throughout Aeterna causing nationalism to be a strong force within the nation. Many citizens would readily go up and to arms to defend their Sultana.

Description of Military:

Aeterna has an extremely unique military. Currently lead by the brother of the Sultana, the Aeternian military fights in rather large clusters, occupying both air and land. The air is occupied by powerful dirigibles and zeppelins while below them, formations of tanks protect the ground. The infantry have been known to be rather mobile with small gadgets allowing them to traverse quickly throughout the entire Aeternian formation. This causes both land and air vehicles to synergize quite well. Their strategy works just as well if not better with the Aeternian Navy. The people of Aeterna have not been advocates of war, but once they are dragged into a war, the people wish to crush the threat. With Aeterna being slightly behind in terms of technological advancement, their strategy and infantry skills are heavily relied upon in battles.

History:

Aeternians have been known as the natives of Hadricia, but associate, often with the nations of Edoniras. The Sultanate is well known for defending its lands and not giving an inch of land when it comes to colonization. There have been numerous small skirmishes between Aeterna and Edoniras Civilizations that have ended in nothing more than a few square miles of land changing hands.

The nation of Aeterna has been around for a very long time, and it is often said that the lands of Aterna date back to the beginning of written history. Aeterna has been a river based nation for ages now. With expansion, they have learned to rely on other means of survival.

Aeterna was always considered a walled off and isolated nation, until the discovery of Blue Coal. The current Sultan had realized that, in order to keep up technologically with other nations, they would have to begin trade to net a large amount of goods for protection. Since then, the Sultanate has been an open nation, welcoming outsiders with open arms. The Aeternian military and government spent many days and a large sum of money to push forward and catch up to the nations of Edoniras in terms of technology.

The current Sultana is the eldest daughter of the previous, rather triumphant Sultan Daniel Aurelia. Daniel was the Sultan that reopened the isolated nation, allowing trade to flow in and out of Hadricia easily through Aeterna. He changed the lands of Aeterna from a weak land with the power of a colony into a rising power. With new materials flowing in and out of Aeterna, the nation's technology was able to advance, pushing the nation into an early industrial era.

Sultan Daniel became bedridden only a small number of years before the present time. With his illness consuming nearly all of his time, he forced himself to pass on the throne. With his numerous suitors, he looked to his three children to choose a new Sultan. It was a tough decision to choose between his eldest daughter Cecily and his son Lucas. In the end Cecily had proven the most responsible and resourceful and to her surprise, she was given Sultanship.

The nation was in an uproar for a short time after Daniel had stepped down, as it all happened rather suddenly and secretly until the new Sultana was crowned. It took Cecily near a month to reinvigorate her people and get her nation back to its previous economic standings, but her people now work towards advancing Aeterna and Hadricia as a whole once more.

Shine City II: The Next Season

Hmm... This looks rather interesting. I will throw together a character sheet in the near future.

The Sins of the Gods

Adiel

Adiel looked to Prothos with excited eyes. "I thank you for your choice, Brother Prothos. I shall do my best to assist with anything you might need." She stood with a modest bow of her head, then accepting her seat. Adiel's eyes fall upon Kelthis and she held back a sigh as her rather devious brother gave protest. She had almost visibly jumped as his fist made contact with the wall of Illyuss.

Adiel then stands, giving a quick nod to Prothos, assuring she was not interrupting. "A shame he is to miss the announcement, though we all know he'll hear about it some way." Adiel rolls her eyes a bit before continuing. "Never the matter. I'd like to announce Mandisa's First World Fair. I find it an adequate event to commemorate our reunion, brothers and sisters. Within the upcoming months, you and your people are all invited to my wondrous desert home. I am sure your people would appreciate the exchange of culture as much as the Mandisans, not to mention I have no doubt the trading potential will be great. I've set aside a rather large portion of the newly constructed accommodations for your people to stay and set up shop in." Adiel paused a moment, gauging her fellow gods' reactions with a smile still upon her face.

"The festivities will start soon. I wish to give you all ample time to allow your people to come to Mandisa, and with that, any more diplomatic agreements between Mandisa and its neighbors can be made at the festival should you attend." Adiel then took her seat with a quite contempt look on her face. She allowed her fellow gods to give their rebuttals before responding.

After Adiel and her brothers and sisters were finished with any planning or questions she stood once more. "Now that my part is done, I must get back to Mandisa to attend to my duties. It has been a wonderful reunion and I look forward to our future meetings. I have great expectations, Prothos." She'd say before the sand-filled, windy breeze begins to swoop around her. Soon, Adiel's entire figure has disappeared and the wind dies down, leaving a small, rather awkward pile of sand in her wake.

---

The Holy Nation Of Mandisa

The sprawling capital of Heliopolis hustles and bustles about as usual, but even more so as the Mandisan World Fair neared. Representatives held constant meetings, organizing and dividing up stalls and shops for traders and missionaries alike, while the masons were still busy with the work of more sandstone hotels. Mandisa was preparing for the upcoming tourists. It was a rather good day when in the near future, prosperity was to come to the desert nation.

Within the palace, the bronze-masked chosen Royal Guards await their Goddess while making introductions. Adiel soon arrives in the room in a similar manner of her usual 'gust of wind' entrance. "I thank you all for gathering so soon." She nods to Amir, standing at his side as she moves up to the table. "Now, let us talk defense for the upcoming event..."

The Resistance

That sounds like a fun time. I'm ready whenever.

The Resistance

Definitely something I am up for.

Time's a Changing - a Steampunk NRP set in a Psuedo-Earth

I'd love to hop into this RP and I can have an app up relatively soon. I've not decided yet, but I'd love to take some land in Northern Pseudo-Africa if there's no problem with that.

V I L E

As for my faction, if someone wishes to take the role of the characters Jack Steele or Tlatanni, the Underbosses in The Cynners, they are open to take. Jack is a Human or a Graveborn and Tlatanni is a Leechfolk or a Grub. You can choose that and mold their personality to your liking.
