~Early 20th Century Magical Steam Punk~
Clarification of Technology:
No modern warfare beyond WWII, but steam punk included. Air Ships and Railroads are popular forms of travel. Bolt Action Rifles are cutting edge technology as far as guns are concerned. Cannons, chemical warfare, and pistols do exist. Computers of any form don't exist yet. Tanks, snipers, and manual robots are new and extremely unreliable. For fairness, no Atomic bombs. This is an age of Mechanics and Steel.
Explanation of Magic:
As far as magic goes, it is very integrated into ones daily life. Magic is commonly used for small things, and the jewelry that uses it is both common and essential for daily life. Still, just how essential it is depends on the country.
Magic requires three things: willpower, stamina, and a special stone fashioned with an enchantment. Most can be worn as a piece of jewelry, and everyone can use magic. Still, if your character cast such magics as resurrection or massive blasts by themselves, your character's stamina will not be able to sustain it and your character will die. Your character's limit to magic is the limit of your character's realistic human capacity. If your character can not carry a heavy box and you try to use magic instead, it will have the same bodily damage on your character as if they were carrying it. If your character abuses magic, your character will die. Also, if your willpower wavers, the magic will go haywire and miscast.
Still, multiple people can work together in magic to increase its effect. For example, ten characters making small magical blasts together can make a massive blast. Also, individual characters can still use somewhat strong magic without killing themselves, like throwing fireballs, flying, healing, making force fields, or even mind reading. Just remember the rules above and you'll be fine.
And remember these rules are just in place to prevent abuse and limit god modding.
Concerning Slaves:
Slave trade is very common, especially in Norra, Hannon, and Namiko. Slaves can be taken from all over the world and sold to anyone. Usually, when a country takes over a group of people for their lands, the people are all sold into slave trade. Also, people can be grabbed off the streets and sold, especially in very populated cities. Still, slaves usually come from Namiko, Corith, and Gunther. Slaves are treated very well in Hannon because they're considered precious merchandise, and they are treated the worst in Namiko. Because of their history, only Ander is somewhat against that practice, but they still buy slaves. The only two countries where it is socially acceptable to free a slave is in Ander and Mithra.
If your character is a slave, you can be bought by any free person. Free people can also be grabbed as slaves. If you want to own a slave, you can do as you please, but you have to take your character's culture into account. |

~World Map~
There are 7 countries:
Ander - (Germanic styled) Where the Steam Revolution took place. The people of Ander were originally nomads of the Norran plains until the people of Norra forced them into the barren mountains. Because of this, they have a strong hatred for Norra. At first, it was a small and often overlooked nation because of it's rough mountainous terrain, but the people there were natural mechanics and scientists. They rely more on technology then magic because the stones used for magic must be imported and are somewhat expensive. After their breakthrough which brought forth the Steam Revolution, they became the worlds strongest force in the new age and put pressure on many of the other nations. Their government is a militaristic one led by a council of 5 generals and nobles, where the king and the head general make decisions in a combined effort to take over the entire continent with their new technology. They have already taken over several small nearby countries to become a major power in only a few short years.
Norra - (Greek-Roman styled) The wealthiest nation. This nation sits at a very desirable position near the sea. They have the best lands, the most wealth, and are renowned for their art, philosophy, and advanced magical practices. For years, they were the leading nation in all forms and were thought to be indestructible, especially with their force of mages. They try to have strict control over the vast majority of the magical stone mines in Corith, though Hannon and Namiko have smaller mines of their own. The government is a slow moving body run by a council of elders until extreme situations when they allow the king to take over. The people of Norra now fear this new turn of events in Ander, though they still think themselves far superior to all of the other nations. Norra stretches over the rivers to the beginning of the desert.
Hannon - (Arabian styled) This is a nation of traders and the second greatest nation known about before the steam revolution. Often, Norra and Hannon bumped heads in the past, fighting over territories and wealth. Their nation sits in the middle of the world and is known for it's exotic goods and great banks. Many of the great bandit groups and air pirates live there because its easy to hide and crime isn't strongly enforced. They are ruled by a king-like figure who has several sultans to protect him and the people. Overall, the people are very nomadic, centering cities around lakes and other bodies of water.
Gunther - (Russian styled) This nation is a bit weak and slow moving towards the steam revolution because of the harsh and cold environment, even though it is situated next to the Ander mountains. They are very poor and often ignored. Like Ander, magical stones are less common then in places like Hannon or Norra. Still, their mercenaries are known for their almost inhuman strength, extreme discipline, and loyalty to their customers. The people of Gunther and Ander commonly sympathize with each other, though the Ander monarch has no sympathy for the weak king of Gunther who can not take care of his people. Because of Gunther's weak king, the people are not afraid to go through rash means in order to survive, and it is a common desire in Gunther to get rid of the monarch and let Ander take them over.
Namiko- (Asian styled) This nation is filled with a very unique culture due to its isolation with the rest of the world until recently. It is a very tropical and wet region. The currency is strange and different, but by working with Hannon bankers, trade has become possible for them with the rest of the world. Rather then steam, they depend on water for transportation and industrial power. Slave trade is both common and popular like in Hannon and Norra, and due to it's isolation and strange resources, it has become a very wealthy country. The king of Namiko is also renowned for being a clever old fox who will be friends with you one moment and stab you in the back the next. Still, the king is very well loved in his own country. They hold unique ideas from the rest of the world and are a force to be reckoned with.
Corith- (African styled) It was believed that a long time ago, before Norra was founded, Corith had the greatest nation ever to exist. But because that nation abused their incredible magical forces, the people destroyed themselves and the nation fell into ruin. Most of their magical innovations were lost, and stories of that country were passed down as cautionary tales. Corith, like Namiko, has not been very exposed to the rest of the world. This is because they are enslaved under Norra's strict control. They are very abundant in magical resources, as well as precious metals, stones, and raw materials. Those in Corith with the rare fortune to be a free person live in nomadic traveling tribes like Hannon, but are constantly overtaken by raids by slave traders. Still, in Corith exists ancient magical artifacts from their old world that are more then enough to constantly keep Norra on their toes.
Mithra- (Mage Kingdom) This nation is a very small nation protected by Norra. It is a country strictly for those dedicating their life to studying. It is through Mithra that so much magical innovation has been accomplished, and there it is against the law to discriminate against other races. The highlight of this kingdom are the many discovered magical artifacts from Corith's old kingdom, to which they are constantly trying to unlock the secrets of for Norra's sake. They are all unified in their drive for knowledge, but are, in turn, isolated from the rest of the world. People from here have a strange dialect and are fairly naive and snobbish when it comes to foreigners or working since basic necessities are provided by Norra.
Where time stands:
Ander becomes allies with Gunther with the intention of using the weak king as a puppet, and declares war on the rest of the world. Norra tries to catch up in technology order to secure their place as the indestructible nation, but are still superior in magic and resources. Norra is also hammering on Corith to get ahold of the old world artifacts and tales in order to unlock their secrets. Hannon is trying to stay out of the war even though they know they're next. Namiko is profiting from the war with Hannon and has become close allies with them for the sake of profit and trade. Corith is constantly put under Norra's foot but has been rebelling against them while trying to organize. In this world of turmoil and chaos, heroes arise and legends emerge. |

Her childhood was spent trying to breed her as the 'perfect woman' while her older brother Hector was to be sent off to the military academy. When she was 13, right before her brother was sent off, her entire family was killed in a freak accident while she was at home sick. In order to keep the estate going and prevent it from being divided up among her selfish relatives, she secretly took the place of her brother Hector, pretending to be male and going to the Academy in his place. As time passed on, even though she was weaker then the other boys, she held the best grades and was an excellent horse rider.

Growing up, she was always the closest one to him. After the freak accident, before she left for the academy, Priscilla gave John his freedom as an apology for how she treated him. In light of this, he joined the army and requested to be her 'special assistant'.

Character Name: Ren Winterbourne

Allegiance: Norra
Occupation: Soldier
Age: Twenty six
Personality: Ren has developed a rather straight forwardness as a result from being educated by the military academy.

He hates how he doesn’t know what he wants in life and has become a little self destructive.
Preference: Heterosexual
Bio: Ren’s father was a tailor and his mother was an entertainer. So his life had always been a sort of weak. He was encouraged by his youthful parents to take initiative in anything he pleased. Coming from a rather loose background thus fashioned Ren’s desire for a more disciplined life. So he scouted for joining the military, and entered the academy. There he trained for years, before graduating. While he feels proud in accomplishing his feats so far, he somewhat craves a somewhat different life. He blames his parents for being so open in his upbringing and hates how he cannot decide what he wants in life. While he is loyal to his country, he dreams of living somewhere far off.

Appearance:
Character Name: Zilaius Rustell
Username: Ayame-Yuura
Nation of Origin: Norra
Allegiance: Norra
Occupation: Special Operations Forces
Age: 35
Personality: brotherly, determined, charismatic, supportive, cunning, a little sarcastic sometimes, patriotic, appears very idiotic on the surface, a little secretive, and goes by his gut feeling
Preference: Heterosexual
Bio: Zilaius Rustell -- a man of many names and guises -- a man known to the world not as a face but as a modus operandi. Starting out, he had always been proud of his country and was always willing to contribute to it in any way. He was not the most brilliant of students but always the most hard-working. He enlisted in the army but later on, he was invited to join the special forces. He was hesitant at first since he would have to disappear from the eyes of the world and his own family if he went. However, his soon-to-be-commander was able to convince him that classified missions done only by spec ops unit were what kept the country running smoothly. He was pronounced dead at age twenty and began handling very fragile missions in the name of Norra. About a year ago, he was about to retire, having done all that he could for his country. He fell in love and thoughts of marriage crossed his mind. It was when 'that' happened. The Ander army.. Yes. They were responsible for the crossfire that resulted in his beloved's death. The only one Zil held dear. He was bitter at first but is now determined to do anything in his power to seek revenge for her.
Likes: beer, blades, hand-to-hand combat, explosives, guitars, canines, card and magic 'tricks', respectfulness, loyalty, lighthearted humor, good conversation and Norra
Dislikes: losing, rejection, hassle, waste and betrayal
Other: Zil isn't the best at magic but he does know how to use it; He isn't in his prime anymore -- just waiting to wither and die, but not before he finds those who killed his beloved and bring them to justice. His right knee is also giving in to the regular stress he puts on it during work. Not too bad but it sure hurts when rising from his seat; He has no longer the body of a younger man. In fact, his body is already battered and marked prominently with scars from throughout his entire career. But experience makes up for this loss in youth.

She made few friends because of skipping grades. She did not care as she studied even harder to be able to be sent home. When she requested to return home after graduating with flying colors, she was denied. She nearly burst into tears but held fast, being forced to do research work on stones and artifacts from Corith. Her family did not know that Win skipped grades so the school used that time to discreetly hire her to work on the Corith artifacts. All the while, Win swallowed her pride and did as she was told. When she got out and reunited with her family, she felt the worst was over and was free to smile again. She began learning the trade as a merchant and traveling to Corith under guise of trade to continue studying what she can about the ancient civilization. But she stayed in Hannon most of the time.

Appearance:
Character Name: Luka and Svetlana Lenore Cherlin
Username: Creamsicle Bunnies
Nation of Origin: Gunther
Allegiance: Gunther
Occupation: Mercenaries
Age: Twenty three
Personality: Being born at the same time and living together more as a pair than singularly has developed a sort of absolute trust between the two. Though they are independent in their own way, the twins are always together. However, this does not hinder their individuality.
Luka is rather protective, which mirrors his large and sturdy build, and is a noble and loyal fellow. He is uncannily lucky for being a lazy bum.
Svetlana tends to be a bit more cold. She is docile, yet scarily strict and obedient. Unlike her brother, she is more agile and strategic.
Preference: Heterosexuals
Bio: The twins have been together their whole lives, literally and figuratively. As twins, Luka and Svetlana hold a magical bond, as though they were connected mentally and spiritually. This inter-spiritual bond allows them to have a connected mind link, which proves both beneficiary and detrimental.
They are inseparable and for that, they have made a rather deadly duo as mercenaries. They grew up in the cold wastelands of Gunther, their parents having difficulty raising the two of them while sustaining their other five children and themselves. It was difficult for them, so when both Luka and Svetlana were old enough, they were sent to work. That in itself led to Luka and Svetlana’s resolve to earn money in their family, and when Luka and Svetlana grew a little older, they became mercenaries.
They became a strong partnership, even after their parents had died and their siblings had left. They believe that they only have each other now, in this world, travelling for hire. Their use of combat, a combination of melee and gun power, has named them a little famous.
Though recently, the military has sought their assistance, hiring them to join the military under Lieutenant Victor Alexandrov’s command. The two have taken it, if only for the good amount of money behind it.
Likes: Luka- Sleeping. Eating. Sleeping. Reading. Pretty women. Getting the job done. Money. Travelling. Gambling. His sister.
Svetlana- Precision. Studying. Painting. Nature. Sweets. Justice. Her brother, sometimes.
Dislikes: Luka- Matching clothes! Mornings. Authority. The rules. Being hungry. People flirting or messing with his sister. Small dogs, since he’s scared of them.
Svetlana- Matching clothes! Alcohol. Idiots. Laziness. Losing.
Other: Though they have been paired for all their lives, they secretly wish to separate. They would never admit it to each other and they hide their secrets deep within themselves, but the war ending would mean different things to them. While they entirely wish the war would end, they both know there would be a point in time when they will have tension in their feelings of separation. Luka wants to depart for Hannon and live a nomadic lifestyle, and Svetlana wants to study in Mithra. Despite how difficult keeping secrets is amongst the two, they hide it very well from each other.

She regards her parents with some odd form of respect, however, she decided to liberate herself and experience the world for herself, war or not.

Her ship is small and seemingly harmless, yet it was built with her intrigue and trusted connections. It is a defensive little ship, quick where it lacks in offensive. It’s special ability lies in the fact that it uses water power to sail the seas and, while demanding many factors, can convert to steam power and turn into an airship.
Though Eureka is very loyal, many question her allegiance, taking her with the likes of an air pirate. She will deny this, strongly remarking that her allegiance lines with Namiko, however her openness and suggestiveness often proposes the opposite.

Character Name: Ruby the Red Rose (Ruby Valentine)
Username: lil_lollypop1
Nation of Origin: Norra
Allegiance: Rogue
Occupation: Sky Pirate/ Mechanic
Age: 24
Personality: Quick Witted, Sarcastic, Sassy, independent, sprite
Preference: Heterosexual
Bio: Ruby was born to a middle class family in Norra, though her family on her fathers side is from Ander. Her father was a pacifist who moved to Norra when he was young to escape war, and he owned a machine repair shop where Ruby was raised. Ruby learned the trade of building and repairing machines from her father until she was 16, when her father announced she was to be married off to the old tanner across the road who she completely detested. Because her parents refused to hear her plea, she decided to run away the day before the wedding in order to seek her own fortune. Things started off poorly for her as she only got pocket change for doing odd jobs on the road, but one day she ran across a gang of thieves sitting around a fire with a ton of loot. She used her charm to trick them out of their gold, and from that day forward, decided to become an air pirate who robs from other air pirates.
Likes: Roses, wine, money, guns, machines, easy targets, 'high' living
Dislikes: things not going according to plan, and men trying to sleep with her.
Other: Ruby still feels some remorse over running away, so she occasionally sends letters and money to her parents. Though her father wrote her back saying he forgave her and asked her to come home, she decided not to because thoughts of her father make her feel guilty about what she does.
Appearance:
Character Name: Dardanas Kurago
Username: Ayame-Yuura
Nation of Origin: Ander
Allegiance: Rogue
Occupation: mechanic
Age: 26
Personality: pacifist, timid, always smiling, likes to sleep, his head is always in the clouds (literally and figuratively), he's generally nice and doesn't get angry although a few sarcastic comments may come up when he's disappointed. He rarely gets a chance to develop close, personal connections so he appreciates what conversations he could have since he knows people would have to drift apart someday.
Preference: heterosexual
Bio: Dardanas, better known by his more common names, Dan or Danny, is a wanderer who always ends up getting captured by air pirates or taken by other air pirates. He is a skilled mechanic and inventor, inspired best by nature and art. He was born in Ander but his parents moved to Gunther before the Steam Revolution in an effort to remedy his frailness. They noticed his skill with machines at an early age and were afraid he might die early of sickness. His grown up brothers didn't go with them as they had their own lives in Ander. He got sent to a military academy and grew all the more interested in mechanics, disappointed in the primitive lifestyle there. It also got him more interested in art, greenery and things that weren't 'frozen in time' like that country. Growing up in Gunther strengthened him a lot though even if the first few years were harsh on his health. Being in the academy hadn't made him a warrior though. It just meant years of getting left behind in physical training exams and being verbally abused by people who know he is potentially dangerous with his inventions though he never acts on it. His parents moved back to Ander when he graduated and he proceeded to discover the world and learn more about his craft which resulted in being captured by air pirates and making ingenious things for them.
Likes: flowers, sweets, kind women, children, animals, art, music, air ships,mechanized parts, machines, robot prototypes, clouds, the sea, actually a lot of things
Dislikes: strong scents (since they make him sneeze), icy places, being regarded as stupid, fighting and injustice
Other: He doesn't like his full name since it's so hard and contrasting to his personality. He is also uncannily lucky, in gambling, in survival and even with his little experiments
Appearance:
Character Name: Henry Sturgess
Username: Nine1122
Nation of Origin: Mithra
Allegiance: Rogue
Occupation: Mechanic / Mercenary
Age: Thirty One
Personality: Henry is a man of honor despite his occupation. He gives everyone one fair chance. During the time of that one chance his is kind to them, they are his friends. If someone wrongs him he becomes cold, and cruel to that person alone.
Preference: Strait
Bio: Henry was born in Mithra but it was plain to see after fifteen years that he was not suited for a life of studies. Magic was something he was good at, but he was not happy with the isolation that came with his studies. So, he made the right choice and left. Henry became a nomad for about ten years and during that time he mastered mechanics. Henry created a business in which he would repair damaged air ships and help to create some. Sadly his business was going no where. He returned to the life of a nomad at age twenty six. For the next two years he traveled learning many things that drove him towards his current career. He learned to fight and defend himself, because of that he became a mercenary. This career proved much better for him. He was making money and doing his job well, then he was captured. The man who took him was just a boy who had a lot of money and knew the right people. For months he was tortured then one day the guard forgot to lock his cell door and he escaped. Henry did not search for the boy, in fact he never saw or heard of him again. After a year of recovery and a few years of training to become an escape artist Henry returned to the mercenary business. Since then nothing of note has really happened.
Likes: Most people, money, Working with his hands, Swords, Guns
Dislikes: Traitors
Other: Has many scars all over his back.

Character Name: Gabriel the Necromancer
Username: Smells-Like-A-Cookie
Nation of Origin: Ancient Corith
Allegiance: 'Rogue'
Occupation: Dark Lord, Sage, Necromancer
Age: 1000+ years
Personality: Sarcastic, seemingly cool headed, obsessive, deceitful
Preference: Women
Bio: Gabriel was a normal human in Ancient Corith, and a talented magician. He quickly surpassed his mentors at the royal academy with his skills and struck fear into the hearts of the ancient king. Because of this, he was tossed out of the land, but he was fine with that. He built himself a tower in present day Hannon, where he lived as a hermit, obsessed with the magical arts. One day, he saw a strange magical spell being cast nearby, and curious, he followed it to see a beautiful valkyrie taking a bath. Love struck, he stole her clothes, only to be chased and beaten by the valkyrie. He apologized and begged for forgiveness because he did it out of love, and she told him love between Valkyries and humans can not exist. The valkyrie, feeling bad, gave her helmet to him as a gift. Using the his magic, he watched her and discovered it Fraya was trying to use him to shame her while they were on a mission to kill the Dark Lord. Furious, he went and killed the Dark Lord himself, becoming the new Dark Lord and killed many of the other valkyries. Fraya called a retreat, but the valkyrie he loved stayed behind to stop him. As both a punishment and a mercy, he sealed the valkyrie's divine powers inside the helmet she gave him, and he sealed most of his own powers of the dark lord inside of her. Because of this, the valkyrie died and was forced to be reborn as a human over and over. The necromancer, himself, went back to live alone in his tower, unable to die. He created human-like lifeforms in the shape of women to be his companions, but they weren't enough to satisfy him. He continued to do his research, waiting for the valkyrie, reborn as a human, to finally come to him.
Likes: Magic, playing with fools, chaos, flowers, women, beautiful things
Dislikes: brutes, fools, thinks not going his way
Other: Because he is the dark lord, he can use ancient godlike magic without magical stones, but he likes to use them anyway. Every hundred years or so, he likes to go out and play with people and see how civilizations are progressing.
