1. The World
This RP has an 16-17th century steampunk-ish setting.
A few hundred years back, the entire world was flooded. The reason is still unknown. A few people have their teories, but there is no proof for any of them. Many religious cults belive that it is work of gods while most scientists and professors stand without any kind of explenation. However, as the mainland was washed away, the humans fled to higher grounds. There was complete chaos as civilization crumbled and laws simply disappeared. Millions and millions of people lost their lives, if it wasn't from the flood it was in the chaos and panic from the remaining lives, fighting over the limited space.
But that was a long time ago...
Today the world has restored its ballance and many societies have formed. All existing towns and cities are located on islands (former mountains and cliffs). The almost only way to travel from island to island is by air, since the water is so polluted you can't stand many days on boat. The most common veichle is therefore steam driven Airships. These exsist in every form and size. Not every family owns a real Airship, but it is common with small rowing boat-like ones that can only support 1-2 persons. There gigantic ones who can carry up to houndreds of people, such as battleships and royal ships. And of course everything in between.
The market is thriving and tradingroutes between different islands is very common.
(More to come)

2. Known Airship models, cities and factions
Kingdoms:
The Kingdom of Kinryael
This is the kingdom where the RP takes place right now. It is a large kingdom, so large that it is infact pretty rare with commonfolks who have gone outside its boundries. Mostly because they are scared of the outside world. The Kingdom is defended and patrolled by Marine airships who keep things under control, but outside Kinryael there is no law.
Towns of Kinryael:
Dunheim
Middlesized town.
more info to come...

3. Rules
Read
1. Gaian Rules
If I really need to drag it up. They are there for a reason
2. Use your imagination
DO IT!
(And also don't be afraid to give your character major weaknesses. That's what makes them fun to play. You don't HAVE to, though.)
3. Do not use pictures under apperance in your character description
But if you made a picture of your character or something from the RP yourself, tell me and I'll create a gallery.
4. You CAN die in this RP
Don't go blocking swords with your head. If I say you die, you die. And then you're dead, no coming back. If you try to kill another player, you probably won't make it unless they are willing to die. But if you try to kill another player with my approval, they'll die.
5. Agh, it HURTS!
You're no superman. If your legs are broken, you can't stand on them. If you are bleeding, you'd better tend to it. This world is amazing and defies many laws, but humans are still humans.
6. No Godmodding
You can't control NPCs created by other players, unless they are nameless. If you create a minor NPC which isn't of any real importance, like a chef at a resturant just call him "the cheff" and so everyone is allowed to use him. If you name him however, only you can control him.
This is to make it easier to keep the game flowing
Check back often

5. Players/Charaters Quote: Gaia name: Hukoi Character name: Alphonse Age: 27 Character description: Alphonse doesn't really have a hometown since he was born and spent his childhood on various trading ships, traveling from one island to the other. During one of his travels, when he was 17, the ship got boarded by pirates. The majority of the crew was killed and the ship was sent down into the sea, burning. Allthough some of Alphonse's friends had died, he didn't hold any real grudge against the pirates, since he knew that both him and his friends had been prepeared for it. Actually, he was inspired by them. The everyday working life had turned out to be something he despised. As they eventually was rescued by another ship, Alphonse was out of work. And step by step he worked his way into a pirate leauge. He didn't reach any high positions and being a mere goon wasn't what he had in mind. So recently he got into a fight on the deck and it ended up in them throwing him out of the clan... and overboard. That's when he decided to start his own clan. Apperance: Average build, tall, black curly hair standing out in every direction, green eyes. He doesn't look like your typical pirate captain, more like some kind of slacker doing whatever he can to escape from work. Right now he's wearing a short black and thin coat and a red scarf around his neck. Others: Likes mechanics and inventions. Quote: Gaia name: Kikyo-Rinnegan user Character name: Kikyo Xuyaka. goes by X Age: 18 Character description: X comes from a wealthy family, but when she was six she was fed up with it and ran away. little did she know that life was terrible with no one to look out for you. she never returned to her parent's house and stayed a street rat. when she became familiar with pirates when she became ten and she has wanted to become one since then, even though she could be killed at any moment. she is skilled with maps of all star, water, and land. she is quiet ,but speaks her mind and around people who accept her she can be pretty chatty. Apperance: she has long black hair that reaches her waist and it has a single green strip that is longer than her bangs, but shorter than her hair itself. she wears simple baggy bum clothes. Others: loves animals and given the time can pinpoint a rough guess of where you are by looking at the sun and a star map in broad daylight. Gaianame: partydude11 Quote: Name: Devon nikhel Age: 15 Character description: Born into a small pirate clan, he learned multiple skills for surviving battles and everyday life. Unfortunately when he was only thirteen the largest of the pirate clans destroyed his clan's home and enslaved most of them. He was one of the few to escape and now he takes any chance he has to take revenge on the pirate lcan that ruined his life. He's a laid back guy most of the time and slightly sarcastic in even the most dangerous of times. However when he meets a pirate from the main clan, he becomes an animal. He grows cold and blood thirsty. More than one ally has died trying to stop him hwile he was like this. Appearance: Dark brown hair with a jade green headband tied to the top of his head. Wears a black sleeveless shirt with green bracers and a sash across it that he carries a longsword in. Has tan pants with pitch black toe-less boots. Other: He is the only member of his clan still alive. Quote: Gaia name: Xythes Character name: Jaimie Syne Age: 20 Character description: Jaimie, unlike other rich noble young men his age, is quiet and held back. His self-control and self-motivation set him apart from his egocentric and reliable family. After years of training in mechanics on airships, most of which his family or close friends owned, Jaimie decided to head out and try to live life on his own. Observing the ways of pirates and hearing the stories of great raids, Jaimie leaves home and searches for a pirate crew to join. Apperance: Tall and very well built, green eyes and blonde hair standing on his head, light skin; much of the time wears a scarf that covers his mouth and neck as well as a black t-shirt and slacks. Two gun holsters on his belt hold his silver pistols he made himself. Others: Has a good sense of direction and knows all about airships; he has never flown one before, though.

The story so far:
Update 1:
28/4/2008
One early morning in the town of Dunheim, a note could be found on the local noteboard. The note invited you to sign up on a large, famous airship who would take you to a glorious life of adventure. Alphonse, the would be captain, sat in a tavern mentioned in the note, waiting for willing recruits. The only one who applied so far is a young navigator who calls herself X. During a walk, it is revealed that she ran away from home at a young age. Her parents, being the nobles they are, are still looking for her and she is afraid of being found. In return Alphonse tells of his dream of piracy and to his releif, X still wants to join the crew. Only being two members, Alphonse feels it would be best to stick around one more day to see if they can't find another recruit.

THE RP BEGINS !!
Alphonse stood whisteling by the big noatboard in docks of the town Dunheim as he was looking for a place to put his poster. It was a warm morning and the sun had been shining non-stop, people were crowding the streets and the smell of dust from the streets mixed with that one of fresh bread from a nearby baker and the breeze from the sea. He noticed that an old skinny man with thick glasses was intensly staring at his note.
Alphonse turned his head to the old man and said
"Yeah, so what do you think? Signing up?"
The old man turned around and began limping away as he mumbled something about crazy youth. Alphonse ended up just putting his note over someone else's.
After that he walked across the street into a tavern named The drunken fool and sat down at his favorite table. Now the waiting begins.
(The note can be seen down below)

Alphonse had ben sitting all day by his table, staring at the note he hanged up by the noteboard. People had been crowding around it all day, but no one had come in. "Damnit." he thought. And the note wasn't even one little bit honest. "Large, famous ship called The Eternal? HA! I made that name up as I wrote it."
"Another one, cap'n?" The bartender mocked him.
Alphonse observed him with questioning eyes for a few seconds, then turned his attention to his table. It was completly full with emptied glasses and mugs, you couldn't fit another one in there without shoving another off the edge. "Woah, I must be wasted." Alphonse realized.
He turned around to the bartender, hanging over his chair and lifted one finger. "Ehm... Yeeeeees."

(Uhm, first of all you should PM the character, please don't post it, or the link, in this thread. But it's not a big deal and I don't really mind all that much.
And nooo, Blade, you're not accepted. I'm sorry but there aren't any vampires in this world. Or maybe there could be, but then you have to be prepared that they are very very few, people will probably laugh at you if you talk about it openly since almost no one belives in them and you would have to tone down your character just a bit. If you have spent your whole life looking for vampires, chanses are that you only have had a run in with them a coupe of times. I could accept you being a vampire, but you're not superhuman. I'm sorry but I can't let it take up too much space of the RP.
I'd like you to rewrite your char and PM it to me. Change it so that it suits this particular world better or write a completly new one. However, also add a little background story. Where have you been and what is going on in your life right now?
Or don't. It's your choise : D)

The bartender stopped his work and looked as if he was trying to decide if X was serious or not. After deciding that she was, he continued polishing his mug and didn't pay anymore attention to the girl.
"Welcome to The drunken fool... speaking of which... Alphonse would actually be exactly that." he said and noded with his head towards Alphonse who was sitting in his chair with his head on the table, most likely asleep. He still had a mug in his hand.
