Like most of the badland towns in Odina, Hollister had grown from a trading post into a small handful of buildings in the dunes, right on the fringes of the protections of society. Not many people stayed long, and those who did served those who didn't. If you were to look at the town from above, it would look like a stout cross with most of the buildings near the center, getting less dense as they got further out. The whole town held about two hundred people and only 84 of them lived there. Emmanuel sat eagerly at a back table of the Jo Lee Burns Inn on the edge of Hollister. He had been circulating word of gathering a team to search for the the family he saw fall in the mountains. It had been almost a week now, plenty of time for word to get around. All he had to do was wait for people to show up.
@timelord1101@Norix@1n5tant Ar50n Well it seems like this is all we're gonna get for now so I'll get us started with who we have and see if some others join in.
@6slyboy6 Haha~ I was just playing off the Hollister girl thing. But yeah, I was actually gonna ask about the specifics of the Magnificent itself so I'll look around and drop some suggestions in.
Short and spry with pale, freckle dusted skin and wild, orange hair. She usually wears simple, practical clothes that she can work in, but if there is a special occasion, she enjoys dressing up some more.
Background: Her birth parents fell to the dangers of the world early in life and she was adopted by her fathers, a talented airship mechanic, Elliott Hollister and a bar owner, Dexter Klein. Though she took after her more outgoing, bartender father, Dexter in personality, Elliott taught her most of what she knows. She worked with him in his dockyard for most of her youth, but always wanted something more, and was struck with a strong sense of ennui. She loved hearing stories of the pilot's adventures and would listen to them for hours while Elliott worked on their ships, quickly becoming enamoured with stories of high skies adventure and tails of the son of Gabriel and his ship, the Magnificent. She very soon began working for her father when she was of age, but would often skip out on her duties, going to explore the nearby caves and gullies with the neighborhood kids and getting into other kinds of trouble. One day, her dreams came true as the Magnificent came into Elliott's dock to refuel and resupply. She jumped at the chance to sail the skies with the son of Gabriel, packing her tools and belongings and leaving her father's dockyard within the day, only looking back to send letters back home when she gets the chance. Traits and Personality: She is a curious and slightly mischievous girl. Quite intelligent, though not always the wisest. Her youth and naivete often betray her as she takes on tasks out of her grasps. She is a girl who loves tales of adventure, no matter how tall and can quickly become enamoured with fiction, her head getting up in the clouds higher than the ships she works on. As for the ships themselves, she is quite adept at repairing and maintaining them, taking great pleasure in completing a difficult task. She is flexible and agile, making her ideal for squeezing into the nooks and crannies of an engine room. She has a soft spot for her family, and writes to her fathers each chance she gets, keeping them updated on her adventures. Despite all her bravado, she is not a lot of use in a fight. She can keep herself out of a fray, but she can't pack a punch or take one very well Dexter insisted that she learn to shoot, but she was never much good at firing a gun. She took much more enjoyment in taking the firearm apart and putting it back together. Why you joined: Sense of adventure and a chance to sail with a figure from her childhood stories.
@6slyboy6 I'd say run it on a basis of first come, first serve. Get the CSs for the first crew and then have a second thread for the second group. Some people who have shown interest might not get sheets up so see how things go for actual sheets.
