Gold Rush (treasure/steampunk/ aliens O/A, eff yeah!)

[Leo Atsuma]

Introduction!

Ilumina, a once peacefull city, moderate crime rate, good schools, wonderful economy. Everyone was happy, there was no greed, no corruption, everything and everyone was at terms with one another, it was also dreadfully boring. People passed their time making things, inventions and exploring, but there was only so much the citizens of Illumina could explore with their small country and lack of undersea vessles. One day, a man named Edward Lucius the third created a metal detecting device using the aura of metallic stones as an echo. The device was immediatly used in underseas exploration by Mr. Lucien himself and what was found was beyond presidence, gold, as far as the eye could see, and deeper than Davey Jones Locker. Edward presented the proof to King Prometheius and he declared an official open gold rush. Everyone in the city, able bodied or not, took up sails and set the course, but there was a problem, there were too many ships for anyone to get to work, it was edge to edge and eventualy made a city of ships.
Kingdoms from higher families of different nations got word of the gold rush and sent their unified army known as The Red Alliance, led by Charles Benton, to claim the gold for themselves. The king denied the Red Allliance the claim, stating that it was an Illumina only claim, but that did not discourage the solders. Soon the skies were filled with zepplins and air ships where the skies could not be seen, starting a brutal war between Illumina and the Red Alliance, but what came next was unheard of. A single blast was set off deep into the ocean, on top of the reserves of gold, unleashing a heavenly green light into the sky and burning a path through everything it came in contact with. The heavens opened up and from it fell venegfull angels with weapons of light and tactics of shadow, bearing requests to the gold claim themselves. They called themselves Xenos, their kings name was Nerial, even though they looked like men, spoke like men and walked like men, they bled green blood, and had airships that were shaped like plates, propeled by light, and held up by the invisible hands of god. To us they were alien, to them we were alien, but their presence did not stop the fighting. Corruption and gold had taken its hold. This,my children is the story of Gold Rush, and this is your heritage.

Do you like OOC?! Well thar she blows!
She blows thar!

Rules!

1. Follow Gaian TOS and rules and guidelines (a given)
2. This RP is not racy or adulty, but its not innocent either, kissy face will happen, sometimes between two boys or two girls, but don't go past that withought going into PM's.
3. NO GODDMODDING. This annoys me very much.
4. No killing characters without permission by the player and me or imbuttercupwheresmywestly. Non speaking NPC's are okay, but don't go overboard on killing people.
5. Auto hitting sucks too, none of that. You can prepare what you will do next if your attack hits or not.
6. Semi literate. Like, spelling, grammar, and not always one liners. Description is very helpful here, keeps a rp going. Use quotations marks to speak, italics and quotation marks for thoughts, and These ((for OOC)). Speak in the third person, everyone's a main characters here.
7. Please don't just disappear without notice. Or at least don't leave us characters hanging for good.
8. I can add rules when needed.
9. Steampunk is a magic and steam-tech based society, so magic is useable by humans, not so much by aliens.
10. Humans tech is not as advanced as alien tech, so humans cannot use alien weaponry, vehicles or armor.
11. Xenos are alien ninjas, but they are not alien Narutards, if you wanna fight like a ninja, then you better learn about em!
12. Send profiles to me or imbuttercupwheresmywestly by pm. Title them "Thar's gold in dem thar hills!", yes, spelling mistakes too.
13. Everyone wants gold, don't be afraid to join other sides to get it, but let me know when you do it.
14. Pay attention to your damn surroundings. Make sure you respond or at least acknowledge people's posts when they interact with you. Make sure what you are doing works with the surrounding environment. It gets annoying when a character does something they aren't really able to do due to the environment. Ex. in the rp, If someone is on a zepplin, don't shoot at him with a blunderbuss and expect to do anything besides piss me off.
15. The enviornment is cluttered, even though theres a war going on, you live where the conflict is ensuing. Some might even be a shouting distance from your enemies. You all have to live together and bear to look at each other every so often. Ships only come to bring reinforcments (npc's and new RPers) but dosen't take anyone off the ship island.
16. I like romance here and there, but you have priorities. If someone gets pregnant, their gone, if a major fight ensues and your sharing a slurpee with your lover at the time being, your gone, if you go off of the story in any way to be with your new RP GF, ya'll are gone, and don't expect me to feel bad for you. That dosen't mean I'm cold hearted, people have to rest, people like to rest with their lovers, thats okay, but remember, your brothers and sisters in battle before your lovers.
17. Stay in your character. If your big macho man, don't cry you wuss. If your nerdy shy guy, don't be suddenly bold and kick all kinds of a** for show. There are exceptions to this rule but there better be damned good reasons.
18. Have some effing fun and kick some effing a**!

[imbutercupwheresmywestley]

There are three groups to choose from.

The Red Alliance

These are highly skilled specially trained soldiers. They are organized and precise and value respect above all else. Do not piss these guys off by being disrespectful, you WILL regret it. They didn't get here first but they're under orders of their king to get that gold and so they believe they have just as much right as the Ilumina pirate trash to get it, possibly more. They live on the zeppelins they came in.
Red Alliance Zeppelin
Zeppelin Greeting Bay
Zeppelin Bunkers, Male, Female and Children accomodations


Illumina

These people are essentially pirates. They've set out on their ships to get the gold at the bottom of the ocean and nothing is going to stand in their way. They are rowdy, destructive, and very loud. It was their man Lucius that discovered the gold so of course they believe they have more right than anybody to the gold at the bottom of the sea. Don't stand in their way unless you can kick some serious a** or you may find yourself short an a**. They live on the island of ships they created when they showed up FIRST.
Illumina Bar
Illumina Ships
Illumina Workshop/Bedroom


Xenos

The Xenos came from far far away in space. They act with the quiet surgical precision of an assassin and are highly advanced. Like ninjas they move through shadow and are all but impossible to catch. Their highly advanced technology making fighting them even harder than finding them. Their focus is first and foremost on their goal, the power hidden beneath the gold the ancient fools are fighting over. They don't care who found the gold first, they want what's under it and they want it unharmed by these fools and their fighting. Similar to The Red Alliance, if you ever find yourself face to face with one of them and for some reason still alive after three seconds, you might want to be respectful of them if you want to continue your luck and life. They live on the strange flying disks they came in, around the island of ships and above the zeppelins.

A note about profiles, the information goes OUTSIDE the coding, that's why the spaces and explanations are OUTSIDE the bolding code. also if you don't want to post in a pretty color either replace the words "posting color" with "black" or delete the color coding don't just leave it as "posting color" that's annoying!

Illumina
"How the hell did I end up here, oh well, born where I be. Better pick up arms and set down hooch." -Fredrick Angelwing
Airship Pirates - Abney Park

Username: Leo Atsuma
Name: Richard Dooley the second
Nickname: Rust.
Age: 34
Race: Caucasian.
Family: Dooley family of southern Illumina.
Type of Magic: Lightning invocation, Earth manipulation, and Fire invocation magics.
Weapon Preference: Clockwork blunderbuss, clockwork pistol x2 (squash head rounds, ignite on impact), and anything he can get his hands on, including his hands.
History: Ever since youth, Rust has had ambitions of being a treasure hunter, his obsession sent him to many mental projection doctors because his imagination would get a bit too real to Rust. He hated his parents for the mental abuse the doctors put him through, and his obsession didn't grown anly less frequent, but he had developed a drinking problem in his adolecense. At the age of sixteen, Rust had gone from his parents to start a pilgramige to distant lands. Coming back tough skinned, stronger than he would have been, knowledgable about magics and metallargy, with a rough and tough, but optimistic and hearty attitude, he only has the treasure on mind, and to destroy anyone that gets in his way.
Appearance:

Username: Zombie Dinosaurs Eat You
Name: Rhennthyl James Artolier
Nickname: Rhenn, if it please ya.
Age: 24
Race: Caucasian-Asian mix
Family: The Artolier family of Eastern Illumina
Type of Magic: Vision-based magic, Force-based magics.
Weapon Preference: Clockwork rifle, Clockwork pistol + Combat knife, as well as most explosive devices.
History: Rhenn's early years were a happy, peaceful time in which he didn't want for much. His merchant father, James Artolier, had some years before acquired a wife on one of his trade voyages to foreign lands. The extended family, of course, were outraged. He didn't seem to mind, though, and went on his merry way separate from them. When Rhenn came along, his father was ecstatic. He showered him with gifts and praise, telling him how proud he was of his son's growth, and how much he looked like he did when he was a boy. Idyllic, huh? Not much more a kid could ask for, but it all changed after the accident. When Rhenn was eight, his magical potential manifested, in the form of him throwing a servant through a wall in a tantrum. Things went by pretty quickly after that. Lawsuit. Bankruptcy. Desolation. His father sent him to live with his uncle. He died shortly thereafter from unknown causes.
Rhenn soon discovered that his uncle the captain was not the tenderest of caregivers. Rough and stony, the man barely gave passing thought to the boy, leaving him in the hands of the sailors in his employ. It wasn't the best environment for an impressionable young lad, but hey, at least the sailors would shoo him off to school most days, and find out soon enough if he had played hooky. Secretly, when no prying eyes could catch a glimpse of him (for he had learned from the first time he'd let his powers run rampant), he would experiment with his abilities. He found that as well as moving things with nary a flick of the wrist, he could 'adjust' his vision, enabling him to see far into the distance, or study minute details invisible to most.
It wasn't until his teenage years that Rhenn's uncle began to take any notice of him. One day, the gruff man had simply told the boy to follow him, and stay quiet (if he didn't want a firm boxing 'round the ears). Leading him onto one of his ships, he offered no explanation but immediately began to lecture the boy on the proper way to do this, to do that, to tie ropes, to mop the decks, and before he knew it, Rhenn had been shanghai'd into being a deckhand. From that day forth, he'd traveled with his uncle and his cantankerous crewmen. Though it was a hard set of years, Rhenn picked up many skills from the men around him, including marksmanship (which he was especially good at, go figure), hand-to-hand combat, swearing, the pinching of wenches' bottoms, and so forth. When the day came for him to go off on his own in search of gold as far as the eye could see, he did so with a grin on his face and a kick in his step.

Username: Goddess of the Styx
Name: Alexandria Wulfsbane
Nickname: Wulf (what her friends call her) Siren (everyone else)
Age: 21
Race: Irish
Family: Wulfsbane of western Illumina
Type of Magic: Music magicks, Water Magicks, and Fire magicks.
Weapon Preference: Pistol-Blade Her metal violin
History: Alexandria was raised in a family where music and violence comes hand in hand. The home she lived in part time with her mother was just beside the sea. She as a child, would take up her violin and play her music down by the bay. As she aged, she would sing as she played. Soon pirates and boatsmen began to question whether she was human or a Siren. They said her music could charm the most foulest of beasts, which it did, if you consider her father a beast. Now as i said, she only lives with her mother part time. She lives with her father when the boating season was good. Her father taught her how to fight, and to capitan a ship, which she does quite well. She isn't aloud to play music on the ship, for fear it would distract the crew. She learned how to biuld and form metal, which is how she got her full metal violin. Her father thought it would be to heavy for her, but she soon proved him wrong when she played it on the upper deck only once to calm the worried crew as a storm past over. When the war began, she had been on the ship at the time, so now, she's caught in the middle of it. But don't be so easily fooled, she has a horriedly sharp pistol-blade, and a hell of a swing. So duck, if your lucky enough to see her violin flying toward your face.

Username: kionaredhawk
Name: Tomila Arron
Nickname: Mila or Arr...
Age: 22
Race: Mutt (Japanese, Native North American, and Caucasian)
Nationality: Japanese
Rank: Crimson Warrior
Weapon Preference: One sword and long knife. Bolt-action sniper rifle. and sometimes she uses her lovely metal gauntlets for hand to hand and the smalles amount of metal friction-based fire magic....
This doesn't mean she can't use what's at hand, of course.
History: Tomila was born to a military family, with discipline as the main moral. She showed an aptitude for the art of her family and was sent at a very early age to a very secluded training station. She worked quickly through her courses and quickly rose above her classmates. She gained the rank she shot for by the age of 17, having no desire to reach anything further. As a Crimson Warrior, she has advanced skills in her chosen arts, as well as several other special abilities that set her apart from the normal solider. Crimson Warriors are few and far between. They wear a red sash somewhere on their persons to signify who and what they are.
Tomila and her family are servants and friends of one of the High Nobles of her country. She volunteered to go with the army that was sent to capture the gold. She herself has no interest in monetary gain, or much of anything really but enjoys the chance for a good fight, always looking for someone who would actually challenge her. She is always stoic, taught not to show feelings or pain. She can cut a persons head off without even a twitch.

"Nerial is our heart, we are his sword. Destroy the scourge like a parasite, with fire and force, lest we let down our king!" -Vanguard Urian
And Your World Will Burn - Cliff Lin

Username: imbutercupwheresmywestley
Name: Kivuli
Nickname: Kiv
Age: 20
Kind of Tech: Stealth focused, like clothes with an optional chameleon mode (bending the light around her to make her appear to vanish into her surroundings) and night vision goggles.
Clan: Tzila
Weapon Preference: Purple beam katana.
History: Kivuli was hatched to a large loving family and clan. She was always the star of any training exercise since she could lift a laser. When the rulers detected a brief beam of pure raw powerful energy from a planet far far away she was an obvious choice for the team that was sent to get it. She had not expected the two foolish, insignificant groups they found fighting over some worthless metal when they arrived but why dwell on something that cannot be changed? She has determined that she will cut through the vermin that stand between her and the power her people need at all costs. She doesn't know what's so special about the metal the insects are fighting over, all she knows is that the energy she and most of her clan were sent to get is buried beneath it and she will definitely get through it and bring the energy home.
Appearance:

Username: Theairsoftninja
Name: Keltris Teverin
Nickname: Kel, Archon
Age: 23
Kind of Tech: Assault/Infiltration
Clan: Kevzen
Weapon Preference:
Facetaker Generator: The Facetaker is a specilty of the Kevzen, it acts like a weak Shield generator expect that when in close proximity to a person the user can assume that person's face and body structure. Of course the best way to prevent detection, along with staying close enough for the alloted time, is by killing the target. The Generator requires about four or five seconds to gather enough data about a target for a perfect match, afterward the user can use a bit of energy to atomize the corpse to complete the disguise. The generator shuts off if power is drawn away for attack or defense purposes.
Shock Glove: A more common item, the Shock glvoe uses energy from a generator, either a Kevzen Facetaker or a Shield generator, to create either a low energy 'tazer' touch or a High energy shock bolt, which is 'thrown' at a target to attack him. When used for attack the Shock Glove is very noticable as it creates a thunder clap.
Red Plasma Knife: Your standerd Alien Plasma knife, sorry I can't elaborate more on it.
History: The Kevzen have served the Emporer for longer then any clan can remeber, they live only to serve him and will never try to take his seat. Thus they have served many Emporers regardless of Clan. Into this Guardian Lifestyle Keltris emerged, He was trained since the time he could walk to protect and serve the Emporer at all costs, though not to fight if the Clan of the Emporer should change. When the Energy signature was detected on a backwater world the Emporer sent Keltris as his envoy to the planet to assist the other clan warriors in finding this treasure, along with reminding them that the eyes of the Emporer were ever apon them.

What's Happened so Far

Falling behind? No problem! Just check here for the major events of the RP, I will try to update it as often as i can and not fall behind myself, wish me luck!
(I'll also try to not center it all around my character, please forgive me if I don't do a very good job of it as it is slightly difficult thank you)

So, the fighting has started for the day, Rust has been introduced and after an incident with a sinking ship and some cannon fire has made his way onto a zeppelin, Kivuli has been assigned to tale a human and figure out why they are still putting up resistance and followed Rust to the Zeppelin.
Rhenn was introduced and after some magnificent extremely long distance sniping has also made his way onto the Zeppelin.
Kivuli's chameleon mode was has temporarily broken and she is now disguised as a pirate and after killing an unnamed red alliance member has rejoined Rust and Rhenn, in her disguise, whom she previously ran from before they could really see her.
Rust meets Rhenn and asks about him before noticing Kivuli

Tomila was working out in her room when she heard talking where people normally weren't, going to investigate she found Rust, Rhenn, and the still disguised as a pirate Kiv on her zeppeling. she ordered them to leave and is now in a sort of stand off with Rust who, realizing she is an officer and not to be messed with, is trying to figure out how best to deal with her
Wulf showed up on the scene beating up some guy for touching her bum and is now standing below the zeppelin everyone else is on wondering how to get up there because she heard someone scream from all the way up there.

[Leo Atsuma]

Richard huh... screw that name, call me Rust!
The day was a drinking kind of day, but barley a relaxing one, that was okay, Rust was the kind of guy that felt a day of fighting was bes accompanined by a bottle of his strongest poison. As he downed his last bottle he fell backwards out of his chair and groaned with a flinching face. As he stood up he burped and then stumbled up to the swinging doors of the boat saloon, saying on his way there in a drunken slurr "Another day, another peice of bacon." He kicked the swinging doors with a raspy grunt, knocking over a couple of drunks that were fighting onto the ground where there continued to fight. Rust looked over at the two and then said "Oop, sorry about that brothers, carry on... looks like you already have." He tipped an invisible hat to them and then continued on as he drew his blunderbuss from his back sling and shouted "Whos ready to get shot today!?" The Illumia pirates that wern't drunk or feeling up on female pirates replied with a loud, "OIS, OIS, OIS!" and pumping their guns up into the air. "AH HA, thats what I like to hear!", Rust said as he walked out into the cannon damaged battle boats.

[imbutercupwheresmywestley]

"if you can see me you won't live much longer...."

Kivuli watched the strange creatures from one of their floating buildings. no that wasn't right, she'd found out what they were just the other day, what was that word? it was a......butt, that was it! so she watched the strange creatures walking around the large butt. the way they treated the females was despicable, she could not believe it. the females of her people were excellent warriors, these were flimsy toys for the males, despicable truly despicable. there, one of them was getting the others excited to be defeated, that was good, it would be easier if they were excited to die. she had to quickly side step out of the way of one of their weapons as it was thrust into the air in excitement, that was one thing about chameleon mode, you had to watch where you were standing because no one else could watch out for you. -what strange creatures these earth dwellers are,- she thought returning to her mission for the day, to find a good specimen and tale him, find out how it was possible that after five days they were still putting up such an annoying resistance. the one that had yelled encouragements to the others seemed as good a target as any, so she carefully fell into silent step behind him, adjusting the settings on her chameleon clothes for movement rather than still observation.

".....if you can't see me you might as well be dead already."

[Leo Atsuma]

Richard huh... screw that name, call me Rust!
Where he started walking wasn't a far distance to where he started running, then sprinting, the zepplins wern't very far from the ocean today, it would be an easy climb, but a tough try to get through the foot infantry and air artillery. He reached on his side and grabbed a pouch of gunpowder then hurled it through the air, almost falling over as he did so, but dodging a cannonball in the process. He looked up, the bag was far off course from a squad of Alliance members, but landed next to a collumb perching up on an abbandoned boathouse. "Good place as any I guess" he said as he rolled to the side and shot a flame ball onto the gunpowder bag, then slid behind a peice of large wood sticking up on a mobile battleground. The bag exploded and the collumb leaped up and rolled dowards the foot solders, injuring a few but not killing anyone. It was the perfect chance to get to their ladder, so while they stumbled back to their sences, Rust sprinted straight for the group, but before he could make it to them a cannonball hit the side of his footing and sent him flailing off course and rolling into a crack of one of the sinking ships. "Holy d**k that hurt!" Rust shouted as he was snapped back into sobreiety from the sudden shell shock.

[imbutercupwheresmywestley]

"if you can see me you won't live much longer...."

Kivuli easily ran along behind the strange male, not so easily avoiding projectiles but managing better than he was. she was sorely tempted to just cut open several of the large projectiles before they got to her but that would be blowing her cover and she'd rather die than do something to jeopardize her mission. she bewildered by his actions and wondered what he hoped to accomplish by knocking down a supporting structure to one of the ships, ah yes that was another word for them ship. she was surprised when he suddenly lost his footing and went sprawling into one of the ships that was sinking . she ran after him and peered into the space he'd disappeared into. as far as she knew these creatures could not breath water, they died if they became stuck below its surface for too long. interesting, so he was going to die? why did she feel guilty about watching that? she wanted to kill these creatures that stood between her and the energy not keep them alive. still....

".....if you can't see me you might as well be dead already."

[Leo Atsuma]

Richard huh... screw that name, call me Rust!
Rust heaved his arm back and slammed it into the side of the ship, and when that didn't work he used his metal clad boot, getting more and more frustrated at the fact his attacks were doing nothing to the thick wood. He quickly drew his blunderbuss and shot at the side of the inner hull till it shattered to splinters, making a hole large enough for him to fit through, and then suddenly getting the feeling of being watched. He shook that feeling off, held his breath then squeezed his way through and started swimming, not knowing where to go since he couldn't see any holes. Just then a few cannonballs fell through the boats, and Rust saw opportunity, using his earth magic he made a cannonball change course and boosted it towards him. He wrapped his fingers around it as it sped by and let it crash through several hulls till it reached out of the surface. "WOO HOO!" Rust shouted out as he flew through the sky then reached out and grabbed a ladder to a zepplin. He started to climb, looking back down as he did, that funny feeling was there again.

[imbutercupwheresmywestley]

"if you can see me you won't live much longer...."

Kivuli watched the male struggle for freedom for a while even after he was out of normal sight, she had goggles to let her see through the ships and the dark water. she was about to just walk away and find some other earth dweller to follow when the man, that was what they called themselves wasn't it? when the man took control of one of the large projectiles....cannon balls? and used it to propel himself out of the water and onto a ladder to one of the what were those called....zeppelins of the group of insects his group was fighting. -oh wonderful, alright let's see, third from the bottom for light powered flight?- she thought before pushing a tiny button on her belt which caused her clothes to lift her into the air so she could continue to observe the man she'd picked out as her target. -here we go,- she thought with a mental sigh and flew after him through the air and up the ladder he'd clung to.

".....if you can't see me you might as well be dead already."
