xeporia ( no gov't ) && unais ( invading )
anyways the government of the big continent is obviously corrupt
and basically they rule with an iron fist / fear / overwhelming control
there're spies / ears listening everywhere and its people are taught to fear the
song of the wind up bird -- it's all artificial and these birds are the gov't's ears and eyes
so the rebels have allied with the opposite continent in order to kill the head of state
and then, having accomplished that feat, the people were supposed to become democratic
and what not except the other continent kinda stabbed the rebels in the back (who are
a bunch of little kids to say that they can save the country??) so now the other continent
is marching on the now government-less country. everything is chaos.

and then there are the rebels, who don't forget s**t like that, having their leader openly killed like that.
they find four broken wind - up birds and discover their secrets. that they harbor great magical properties or whatever.
and that's basically how the gov't had become so powerful bc they control these entities. the rebels, unknowingly, released
these things and have hit up a contract with them. help them and they'll be free duh. so they want revenge and that's basically
the premise of this whole damn thing. war. conflict. conspiracy. gears and s**t. airships.

8 characters (5m 3f)
- 4 rebels, 4 from other continent i guess.

blurbs are roughly 100 words each with a short memory snippet
ok so apparently i really can't make happy characters oops

INVADING COUNTRY
█ ┊the 「 ↑plea 」 of the ◂*exalted ◢ ┄♚SPARROW
female : 23 - 26 years : austere - passionate - forthright - righteous
- daughter of the murdered head of state, is all sorts of bitter because of that -- hates the rebels
- basically, she wants them destroyed and wants to reclaim her father's position
- " the enemy of my enemy is my friend " -- which is why she's siding with this side
- is a skilled mechanic / pilot of an airship, so she's actually really useful

Five years ago, ◢ ┄♚SPARROW had everything. As the daughter of the then head of state, ◢ ┄♚SPARROW held more power as a child than most grown men did. However, ◢ ┄♚SPARROW was content spending her time with airships, having become a skilled mechanic and pilot because of it. While she loved her father, ◢ ┄♚SPARROW disagreed with many of the ways that he chose to run things. ◢ ┄♚SPARROW believed that they needed to work together with their people, not against, and that was the cause she labored for. However, her efforts were cut short with the death of her father and the eventual downfall of her country at the hands of the rebels and Unais. ◢ ┄♚SPARROW wants to regain what she lost and she'll do it by any means possible. Even if it meant working with Unais to get revenge on the rebels.

█ ┊the 「 ↑warning 」 of the ◂*outcast ◢ ┄♚CROW
male : 25 - 30 years : disaffected - curious - cynical - eccentric
- enigmatic little thing who gets to see the future in snippets / holographic projections
- basically was thrown out of unais bc everyone thought he was lying when he said that " ---- "
- is a clockmaker and really more of a bystander than an active participant in this
- he is interested in how things will turn out though, see if it'll prove him right or wrong
- ◢ ┄♚CROW visited xeporia a few times and met with ◢ ┄♚LARK. thinks the lad is interesting

█ ┊the 「 ↑song 」 of the ◂*caged ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD - taken by kat
male : 19 - 24 years : cheery - determined - protective - dutiful
- captured / forced to comply ;; memories are gone ;; sent to the other country basically to his death
- either he loses his life winning this war for his enemies or he gets branded a traitor and is executed that way
- told that he had a sister, the ◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE, but doesn't know how she looks like, who she is, all that
- all he knows is that they have his sister and he has to listen to them or else
- really, his sister's been beside him this whole time, he just doesn't recognize her

For someone captured and forced against his will to carry out the enemy faction's will, ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD is a lot calmer than he could be. But that's because he doesn't remember anything. Somewhere during the skirmish when he got captured, ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD hit his head and lost his memory; he doesn't remember hating Unais, doesn't remember fighting for Xeporia, doesn't remember risking his life in enemy territory. ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD doesn't even remember his sister, ◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE. Everything he knows was told to him by his captors, who ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD believes is holding his sister captive. Who knows what'll happen to her if he doesn't comply? Of course, that's only what ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD believes. Little does he know that his sister has been beside him this whole time, tagging along on a suicide mission to the destroyed Xeporia: either ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD loses his life winning this war for his enemies or he gets branded a traitor and is executed in his homeland.

█ ┊the 「 ↑cry 」 of the ◂*forgotten ◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE - numi???
female : 23 - 26 years : altruistic - demure - sincere - trusting
- sister of ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD, is utterly heartbroken that he doesn't remember her
- so she just kinda tags along because that's where her brother is
- she can't bring up the courage to tell him because she thinks that he'll be disappointed
- partly because she's siding with the enemy -- ◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE believes that this country can establish democracy or some s**t


REBELS/REMNANTS OF GOVERNMENT
█ ┊the 「 ↑locket 」 of the ◂*broken ◢ ┄♔LARK - taken by ponbb
male : 21 - 27 years : guarded - charismatic - fierce - idealistic
- basically survived torture / whatever by the government bc captured rebel and he didn't break, back then
- is the leader of their little group of ragtag survivors but is the mental strain really okay to keep ignoring?
- has met with ◢ ┄♚CROW and almost befriended him multiple times, but each time ◢ ┄♔LARK tries to
- convince the other to join their cause, ◢ ┄♚CROW disappears
- his contract is really taking a toll on him but he's gotta tough it out

█ ┊the 「 ↑necklace 」 of the ◂*graceless ◢ ┄♔SWALLOW - taken by me
male : 24 - 29 years : forlorn - vengeful - compassionate - pessimistic
- previous lover, ◢ ┄♔KESTREL, was the leader of the rebellion who was killed so lots of hate going on here
- doesn't think that ◢ ┄♔LARK has what it takes to be leading this " he lacks conviction "
- but goes along with it because, with ◢ ┄♔KESTREL's death, ◢ ┄♔SWALLOW doesn't believe in their cause anymore
- but the lure of revenge is too sweet to pass up so he's along for the ride wheeee

█ ┊the 「 ↑crown 」 of the ◂*mad ◢ ┄♔CUCKOO
male : 18 - 26 years : skittish - earnest - confused - temperamental
- friends with ◢ ┄♚LARK but used to work for the government ( yeah he's young )
- therefore, he's also friends with ◢ ┄♚SPARROW, may have a little crush on her
- thinks she's dead though, because how does someone survive a flaming mansion?
- contracted ◢ ┄♔HUMMINGBIRD totally by accident, but thinks she's a cool toy to play with
- not too sure about the whole rebels thing but when does he listen enough to know what's going on?

█ ┊the 「 ↑bell 」 of the ◂*false ◢ ┄♔HUMMINGBIRD - taken by havo
female : xx - xx years : deceitful - perceptive - spirited - clingy
- is actually a contracted wind-up bird in human form
- think pinocchio
- is partners with ◢ ┄♔CUCKOO, but hell if she cares, he's beyond saving
- doesn't mind being used as long as she gets to stay on this world
- no one else knows that she's not actually human and that's how she'll keep it tyvm, hell she's not even sure if her contractor knows this

Today, they introduced the birds.

Little clockwork things that did little good for the people. But lately there's been none of that, huh? When have they ever cared for us? We are nothing but dirt beneath their feet; we are nothing but tools used to further their own gains. But they're getting nervous; we're making them nervous. Because, without us, they are also nothing.

It is precisely why they've brought out the birds--let them fly free in this ruined city. The birds are their ears and eyes--a new way of gathering information and wiping away the growing dissension.

We'll have to be more careful now.

_________━━━━━━━ 「▖▖XX42, ⋮JUNE 03 」 ━━━━━━━
ciindo
Their calls are annoying. Not natural. They could've tried harder to make them sound real. But like everything else, they find it hard to care. Besides, I'm sure that this is what they want: us on our nerves, glancing over our shoulders at every corner to see if those damn birds are singing in the tree.

And it's working.

People are on edge more than ever. Some keep quiet; others take this as a chance to make a statement. Those kinds of people don't last too long. But I know. To survive in this twisted, twisted state' you have to be smart. Be strategic. That's why we'll live, that's why we'll win.

The Unain government have already agreed to help us.

It's only a matter of time.

_________━━━━━━━ 「▖▖XX42, ⋮NOVEMBER 05 」 ━━━━━━━
ciindo
They weren't expecting us, I could tell. Once the Unains met with us, we held the advantage. We had both numbers as well as the strength to use them as anything more than cannon fodder.

They had relied on their threats and their birds for too long, but when push came to shove, they fell, so so easily. It was almost laughable, how much people fear them.

This puppet government of ours, so full of corruption and greed.

On behalf of our little group of rebels, I've talked to the Unain representatives. They've agreed to let us run our own country, as we see fit.

We don't need a government.

Tomorrow, we'll build Xeporia up from its ruin.

And for the first time in decades, the streets will be quiet of the incessant tick, tick, tick of the birds.

_________━━━━━━━ 「▖▖XX42, ⋮DECEMBER 28 」 ━━━━━━━
ciindo
Today was the first snowfall of the year. The sky was a flurry of white. It was the first time that the white looked so pure.

Today, the change will start.

The people of Xeporia have agreed to give it a chance, to try to govern themselves. They've agreed to meet us in the town square this afternoon so that we can work out a ruling council.

This change will be good--I know it will be. Too much blood has been shed for it not to be.

Xeporia will go to a better place, today.

________ ━━━━ xx42, december 28, ◢ ┄♔KESTREL, the acting leader of the rebels,
_____________ was openly executed by the Unain representative. Her ideals were lost amidst the blood-red snow.
___________It is war once again.

Unais is holding a huge ball in order to welcome the new year, though that is only part of the reason why such a grand event is taking place. More than just a celebration, Unais wants it to be a simple to show its people that they are safe, that nothing will disrupt the tranquil happiness of its people's lives. For this purpose, Unais plans on executing a captive rebel in front of the gathered guests. They are currently holding him in a room on the higher levels of the mansion, waiting for midnight's twelve chimes.

The rebels, on the other hand, are set on making a statement and recovering their comrade. The Unains have thought that they'd won for far too long—since ◢ ┄♚KESTREL's death—when really, the war's just starting. They've had to lie low for the past three years, had to be content with sending spies to Unais in order to gather information on ◢ ┄♚KESTREL's killer and on Unais' current strength. So far, this has proved more difficult than the rebels expected. Torn, divided and wavering, the rebels are barely holding up on their own despite knowing that they need a united front to stand even the slightest of chances on getting their revenge.

For three long years, that salvation, that vengeance, was nothing but a far off notion.

However, with LARK's discovery of the birds and the spirits trapped within them, they no longer need to hide.

It's been three long years; there is no more waiting for the bloodshed.

- ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD is with ◢ ┄♚SPARROW and ◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE, guarding the captive
- ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD is quieter than usual, ever since he found a small mechanical bird outside his window
- ◢ ┄♚CROW is attending the festivities; he knows something will happen
- the rebels have snuck into the ball as guests, intent on causing chaos once they've
- recovered their comrade 2 groups: recovery & bomb team

OBJECTIVES
- rebels: bomb the place, recover comrade
- unains: make sure everything runs smoothly
- crow: ?????????????

An enigmatic foreigner who seems to hail from neither Unais nor Xeporia, ◢ ┄♚CROW is a clockmaker with the rare ability to see snippets of the future. These visions come randomly and sporadically, but they oft carry the truth in their brief flashes. However, despite the usefulness of these visions, they were inevitably what got him thrown out of Unais, where he was accused a liar and a terrorist because of them. Unais failed to remember that it was ◢ ┄♚CROW who first suggested betraying ◢ ┄♚KESTREL, and that it was ◢ ┄♚CROW who carried out the assassination. However, time has given him time to reflect on his actions, to wonder if abiding by a future he only glimpsed at was worth the bloodshed he had caused. With news of war coming, ◢ ┄♚CROW couldn't help but be drawn back into Unais and Xeporia's struggle, one part curious and one part guilty. After having met ◢ ┄♚LARK on one of his many travels to Xeporia, ◢ ┄♚CROW is beginning to wonder whether it is okay to simply live by the future.

◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE believed wholeheartedly that Unais was the key to saving her homeland, Xeporia. However, that was only one of the reasons why she clung so desperately to the Unain envoy. Her main reason for being so vehement—although she'll tell no one of this—is that the Unains have her brother, ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD. If there was one thing ◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE regretted, it would've been the capture of her beloved brother. She wanted him to see with his own eyes that Unais would be their savior, but everything turned out wrong. ◢ ┄♚BLACKBIRD doesn't remember her, doesn't remember him; he's lost all memory of his life before he woke up in captivity. Utterly heartbroken, ◢ ┄♚NIGHTINGALE clings to the hope that somehow, her brother will remember her yet there is also that small part of her that's just too cowardly to bring it up herself. What if he's disappointed in her? She wouldn't be able to take it.

To add to that, his contract isn't exactly making it easy for ◢ ┄♚LARK. Not that he's told anyone.

As the lover of the former rebels leader, ◢ ┄♚SWALLOW took her death rather personally. He was never the most faithful in their cause, but he supported it because he loved ◢ ┄♚KESTREL and now that she's dead—murdered in coldblood by people she trusted—all ◢ ┄♚SWALLOW can feel is hatred towards Unais. Towards the government.

The lure of revenge is also far too sweet for him to pass up, so he tags along in hopes of finding her killer and butting heads with ◢ ┄♚LARK whenever he can. For ◢ ┄♚KESTREL's successor, the boy was doing a piss poor job of it. ◢ ┄♚SWALLOW doesn't believe that ◢ ┄♚LARK has what it takes to live up to ◢ ┄♚KESTREL's legacy, and hell if he won't make that perfectly clear.

____═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

There was no forgiving. No forgetting.

Not for the rebels who had staked everything on their leader and her ideals. There was no going back, not for them. After all the blood they'd shed, after all the lives they've lost, after all the wrongs they'd done in the hopes of a better world, there was nothing except revenge. They were too proud to simply disappear without another word. Not with ◢ ┄♚KESTREL being murdered so openly like that.

But revenge was easier said than done.

With no leader and less than half of their numbers left, the rebels could do nothing against Unais without it being a suicidal, last-ditch effort. They wouldn't let it end like that. So they bid their time, waiting for their opportunity. Waiting for a time where they could grow strong. Waiting for a time where Unais could grow weak.

The rebels had waited five years to overthrow their government.

Vengence could wait a few more.

Their opportunity came in the form of the wind up birds they hated so much. While the streets of Xeporia had been void of the birds' clockwork songs since the ruin of the government, there were the odd ones that still worked. Functioned in a way. Their cries were distorted, some sounding achingly like the pained pleas of a human child. The birds, with their wings crushed and their gears barely turning, could only sing their songs waiting for someone, anyone, to find them.

◢ ┄♚LARK was the first one to stumble upon one.

Unwittingly, he unleashed the secret of the wind-up birds. Within the bird's metal exterior hid a great magical entity, a spirit, that the government had trapped. These spirits were the ones that had empowered the government; these spirits gave the government the audacity to set their sights on dominance and power. With these otherworldly spirits, the government could've done anything.

And now ◢ ┄♚LARK had the same power.

There were four of them.

The rebels released the spirits trapped within and made a deal with them. If the spirits lent them their power, they would be free. As soon as their vengeance was had and Unais lay in ruins.

The spirits had no qualms with this preposition, especially since their contractors were mere kids. Time did not mean as much to the immortal spirits as it did to humans, whose lifetimes were all too short. But a blink to a spirit. However, trapped in their clockwork cage, time became a prison and immortality, a burden. They were only too happy to help.

The rebels had their chance. They had power.

They would get their vengeance.

There was no forgetting, no forgiving. Only the sweet lure of revenge found in war and conflict and bloodshed.

_________━━━━━━━ 「▖▖ ⋮YOREN 」 ━━━━━━━
ciindo
Yoren is the world that this roleplay takes place in. It is comprised of eight continents surrounded by the vastness of sea. The water is so pure that it is almost corrosive to those who touch it, which makes for an effective border between continents. Each of the continents are named 1st through 8th, each with their own capital city and culture. The majority of intercontinental traveling is done on airships of varying sizes.

Great currents of wind run in interconnected webs above the land. Navigators have long since learned how these winds work, and it is this that the airships are run on. There are channels of wind called " ways " where minimal steering is required due to the still air that runs between two walls of fierce wind. The vacuum that is created runs in a single path. Cities such as Xeporia and Unais were built to be at the end of these ways, in order to ease the pain of traveling.

_________━━━━━━━ 「▖▖⋮XEPORIA 」 ━━━━━━━
ciindo
Once a rich port city, it is akin to 16th century London. With a population of roughly 500 000 people, it is the largest city on the 5th continent. There is no monarchy there, as the city has long since established its independence and democracy. However, over the past decade, the government has slowly exerted its influence over various matters. It started with the governing of the city's trade routes; there were strict taxes on all those who wished to import goods and wide encouragement of buying local. Before long, the government controlled many aspects of its citizens' lives. It enforced curfew and began to construct a large wall surrounding Xeporia. The wall was finished in XX35, completely isolating it from its surroundings. Its people had long since forgotten what it was like to roam freely in their home and it was only until the rebellion in XX42 that the government was finally overturned. With ◢ ┄♚KESTREL's death however, the city was thrown once more into chaos, with nothing but a proxy government—small and insufficient in power—to establish its rule.

Tall buildings are Xeporia's main residency, with all the streets eventually leading to the town square, where a large statue of ◢ ┄♚SPARROW's father was erected near the beginning of his rule. The statue now lay in rubble, used as nothing but a spot of elevation for its people to see the distance on.


_________━━━━━━━ 「▖▖⋮UNAIS 」 ━━━━━━━
ciindo
A city on the largest island of the 2nd continent, Unais is under the rule of a Queen. However, the Queen is but a figurehead, with the Unain government taking over most of her administrative work. Some wonder if their Queen is even alive. The lives of those in Unais are vastly different than in Xeporia. There is a dominating caste system, but the people are not unhappy. The strong help the weak and when that isn't enough, the government makes sure that everyone outlives the winter. When Xeporia started closing itself off, Unais grew worried. It was this that prompted them to form a pact with the rebels and offer its aid to them. If the Xeporian government was allowed to expand and rule, then who's to say that they wouldn't set their sights on Unais? After the successful overthrowing of the government, Unais, under their Queen's supposed order, betrayed the rebels. (◢ ┄♚CROW also helped with this decision.) A group of kids could not be allowed to pose a threat to Unais and their utilitarian way of life.
