AHAHAHAHAHA, YES.

Vex is back!

Character Sheet

Name: Vectina "Vex" Ashling
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: Has orange-ish blonde hair that extends to her shoulders, a soft face and golden-amber eyes. She is short for her age, yet rather 'well-endowed' for her height and weight. Often wears leather, ruffles, and bows. (Used this for inspiration.)
Bio: Vex is from Kimmit, the daughter of an ex-ship captain father and a scholarly, magically gifted mother. Vex grew up living in somewhat middle-class conditions, where the only real work she had to worry about was her chores and education. She spent her free time studying magic in secret with her mother, learning how machines worked from her father, and participating in an acting troupe called the King's Wingmen, where she used her singing voice to play as the lead role in many plays.

One day, sometime around Vex's 16th birthday, her father reported that they had hit a sudden financial crisis just as they expected him to get a new, high paying job working with construction. Vex and her mother were looking at jobs when tax collectors barged in to their home, trying to take Vex and her parents away to a prison. Vex narrowly escaped through a window and ran away from her home in Kimmit.

She ran for days, staying at the homes of kind strangers during the nights. As soon as she acquired the money, she purchased passage away from her home to another part of Kimmit where she would not be recognized or pursued for the mistakes her parents made. For the last two years, she has made money as a lounge singer.

The real question is, what will she do now? She has always craved adventure, but never had the courage to attempt anything dangerous. It'll take a dramatic turn of events to get her to change her path in life. Her only clue in what she wants out of her life is to raise the money to pay off the mysterious debt her father owes. She also wishes to go to the Brass Island, where she might practice her magic without scrutiny.
Personality: Vex is a happy person, with an almost bubbly attitude towards many things. She likes to voice her opinion on things that concern her, and doesn't like secrets from being kept from her. Curious to a fault, she feels the need to know about just about everything. Vex doesn't mind getting dirty.

Though she is constantly pestered by older men in the lounge, Vex is a hopeless romantic and dreams of finding a boy her age, and as such, she is a bit of a flirt to certain individuals.

Vex gets scared easily, and tends to shake and get nervous in high-stake situations. She has trouble making hard decisions, and prefers to be a worker in the background than in the spotlight when anything other than singing or acting is concerned. Vex doesn't feel like she 'knows herself' very well; something she has trouble explaining to others.

Vex also has trouble with trusting people, but desires friends above all. She feels that if she finds people that she can find her place with, her life will be easier to figure out. She feels most comfortable when working on some sort of contraption or gizmo, and is an avid tinkerer. She often sings when working.
Apparel: See 'apperance'.
Weaponry: Vex carries a pistol and a dagger for self protection, but would go for her magic first in any event of danger.
Attribute 1: Intelligence
Attribute 2: Perception
Skill 1: The Elements
Skill 2: The Mystic
Skill 3: Engineer

Can't wait! Let me know if I need to fix anything.

Brilliant! Don't need to change anything really. She'll fit right in perfectly, maybe this time we'll be able to solve her father's tax problem!

And get him out of prison! :D

That's definitely something we should explore this time round, to be honest i'm really looking forward to getting this re-started.

So... does anyone else know about this? ;v;

Ahhh! I forgot about this! I'll probably try about joining.. Not sure if just redoing Yalun or not...

I don't know if anyone else knows about this other than you two, I don't know how to get people's attention to be honest it's been a while since my last RP was made.

@shadow: yalun was a brilliant character if you do want to use him I doubt he'll need much work, but it's up to you whether or not you will make a new character.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS

Looks great, Rook! Can't wait to see him!

(Also, Eren? Armin? I know your secret ;D)

I want to join this as i would like to give Steampunk a try but i don't really understand the world and lore. Can someone explain it to me?

You might want to read this article, as well as the OP. They should give you a basic understanding.

I had to. I'm loving Attack on Titan.

Right, Rook your character is brilliant and i'll put it up on the OP for when we do get enough people together to start this RP up.

Dovah, the article Rook put on will help, but this post here kind of sums up the lore of Kimmit and Hyam for you.

Lore Fix No.1

Enoch is the world the RP is set in, more specifically the large island continent of Hyam, which is dominated by several Human Kingdoms, Counties, Baronies etc, which together make up the Human Kingdoms. These lands dominate the middle and south of the island continent (about the size Africa). The north is a mysterious and barren artic or tundra like wasteland dotted by various Human outposts.

The only known living race on Hyam are the humans and the dwarves. The humans as I said dominate most of the continent, but the largest city is Kimmit, where the RP will be taking place. The culture of Kimmit is kind of like continental Europe/Britain during the Napoleonic period, but the biggest twist is the use of machinery; trains exist, steam-powered horses (very hard to come by), airships, much more advanced weaponry, basically most things you could put your mind to. The Human Kingdoms love machinery and intrigued greatly by it, the opposite could be said of magic. Magic is a massive taboo subject in the Kingdoms, and the majority of magicians are locked away in Towers and hostels, yet some do escape or have never been locked away at all. Religion isn't really big with humans and they prefer to build shrines to humans who have achieved great things in their life and thus aspire to be like them, the Big Two are The Heavenly Magnus Echart who drove the blight of magic from Hyam several centuries ago and The Heavenly Edith Bock who spent her life exploring the dwarven ruins and discovering great technologies.

Dwarves the other race of Hyam, unfortunately unplayable, have nearly been completely wiped out. A very mysterious race that according to legend destroyed their holdings in Hyam with their own curiosity and intelligence. A very mysterious race, many dwarves stand in the courts of the royalty of the Human Kingdoms as they are well respected by humans for their intelligence.

Regarding Kimmit; Kimmit is a massive city, that over the hundreds of years of population growth it has faced (Kimmit is based on incredibly rich ground for farming), has been built level upon level, like a huge metropolis. It is built on the coast, thus has a large fishing industry as well, not to mention the several sky-ports that line the levels of the city. Many of the older districts are inhabited by poorer people and the richer live in lofty estates where one could actually seen the sky without having to squint. Kimmit's ruler is the King Archibald Arteton, and his family have controlled the various positions of importance in the city for the majority of this decade. Off the coast to the west are the Brass Islands, several small islands made by magicians when magic was being forced under by humans, they mostly keep to themselves. A large river runs through Kimmit, aptly named The Kimmit River, which over the years of being forced into canal systems has eventually flooded the majority of the lower levels leading most of the inhabitants to live in squalor.

In the RP i'm going to do something similar to what happens in Dragon Age; when you discover something new about the world (lore-related), i'll put it in a spoiler tag in greater detail, like a codex-entry.

That's a great idea, Crepe!

Vex is going to hate statues of Magnus.

Are you still planning on having this RP happen? I feel like joining a Fantasy RP, I'm not in any at the moment and haven't been for a while. So I might join this. If I did it would probably be as a talky engineer type. But if it isn't then there's no point making a sheet.

I think he's just waiting on more people to sign up. Should be fine. Please join. c':

I'll likely be joining too. Just it's down to what kind of a character to be and gathering up a few questions I had

I really look forward to what you guys come up with!

Yeah, I am definitely planning on having this RP happen! Just as union says, i'm currently waiting on a couple more additions to the crew, so that we can get the RP going.

And feel free to PM me or post any questions you might have here Beta, or Kerr.

Book I forgot about this. To the character wheel!

Unionhack is part of the reason I came to check this out. I also liked that First Era TES RP. I bought Arcanum not that long ago, need to play it eventually. But watch this space, I'll get to making a sheet.

A question, does homophobia exist? Because I'm going to be making a non-hetrosexual character. It is usually tied to certain religions, there have been plenty of civilisations where same-sex relations haven't been taboo.

I have to admit union has been really helpful with this reincarnation of Cog and Gear. Homophobia doesnt really exist, there a few people who would put their nose up at it but that would be more because of their own beliefs rather than a social taboo.

Right, I have a couple of questions not key to my character but I'm curious. Are there any kind of democratic or other political movements? What are guns like? Are they just flintlocks and muskets? What is the currency?

That character sheet is pretty sound and i'll get it up on the OP, regarding your questions:

Currency:
Just your average minted coins, quite well made. The Human Kingdoms umbrella administration restricts unlawful forgery of currency, but the majority of Kingdoms within the organisation allow it to go on under their watch.

Guns:
Flintlocks and muskets basically. They are the most prevalent form of guns, but some specialist weaponry such as rifles and even fully automatic weapons (incredibly rare, only made by the finest craftsmen) can be found.

Movements:
Kimmit has quite a modern form of monarchy; a constitutional monarchy. The King Archibald Arteton allowed the formation of a senate early on in his reign (which has now spanned five decades). However the Kimmet Senate is a rather aristocratic affair, tended to only by the upper class Houses and Clans of Kimmit that would have the money or status to buy their way into democracy. There is an active underground political movement known as 'Common Democracy' or simply put 'The Commoners' who have been actively pursuing a broader democracy in Kimmit since the formation of the Senate, the leadership has a strong left leaning but the majority of their members are just average Kimmetians, they have yet to initiate any violence, but they do lobby strongly with the government and the public. 'The Inquisitors' are also a movement of sort, yet these do hold seats in the Senate; this party serves the Chapel of the Heavenly Magnus Echart and seeks to enforce anti-magic legislation.

I am very happy to see such well made and detailed characters, should be really fun writing up some more personal quests for the party once you all get together!
