Blood Iron - OOC

[Argetlam350]

(I will probably update this once in awhile to make it better but for now here is the basis of the story)

BLOOD IRON

The modern world was built upon three key things: blood, gears, and steam. At the turn of the 19th century was when man harnessed steam to its full potential, creating entire cities that floated in the sky, underwater paradises, and even entire swath's of cities that could submerge underground. The Age of Steam had begun and was in full swing, everything that was made ran on steam, a source of energy that was always constant and easy to maintain. During this time, it was a time of peace and wealth, very few were poor with the influx of jobs that porred in.
Little knew though, that through the ages, man had always shared the world with other creatures that hid amongst them. Creatures that had always been in the realm of storybooks and fairytales. Once the world had hit its pinacle of achievement, did these creatures come out of the woodwork in hope that they could be accepted into this world of steam and gears. At first it seemed that peace might of been possible, that there could be coexistance. However soon groups of people, from both humanity and mythology. The humans that dispised these now known creatures, wanted them locked up, killed, or used as slaves. While on the side of mythology, those that hated men, wanted to rebel and take the world and use men as slaves or kill them off once and for all. There was no stopping war from coming and the great time of peace and wealth ended and was replaced with a time of hatred and war. Man fought creature, and creature fought man. What had began as unrest turned to full fledge war with not only man and creatures fighting each, but also themselves. The economy collapsed as the war raged, entire cities were destroyed, their ruins now lie like giant skeletons.
The fighting only ended with both side's greatest leaders were both assassinated and those that had started the rebellions that lead to the war were locked away and sentenced. In private terms were nogotiated and the war was over, but the damage had been done. Most of the great floating cities were destroyed, some of the submerged cities had been damanged and now lied underground for however long it would take to fix them, and the once underwater paradises were now graves to thousands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was sixty years ago. Now the world is more peaceful and calm though it will never reach the greatness as it was in the past. Some of the floating cities have been rebuit, a few submerged cities brought back up, and the reconstruction of the underwater cities have begun. Men and Creatures live as one though now most of the forests belong to the creatures to never be touched by the power of steam while men get to keep their cities, as part of the negotiations but they can still intermingle. Men are allowed to hunt in the forests when given permission, and creatures are allowed jobs in the cities. Yet they still keep seperate as well. Men believing they are better then the filth of the creatures and creatures finding men to be greedy and vile, a blight needing cleansing. However these are just thoughts and never seem to be true but a great evil is rising, an evil that has been dorman for quite some time. The fate of men and creatures soon will be tested and whether or not it punges them into war again is soon to be seen.

Rules
1. You may be either human or some form of creature. You are allowed up to three characters, provided you can handle it.
2. This will be a mature RP, so if you don't enjoy blood or language then don't join.
3. Though this is a mature RP, sex scenes shall not be allowed. Timejump those or take them to PM if you want.
4. No fight, take that up in PMs.
5. NO ONE LINERS. If you have writers block at least attempt two or three lines but I would like to see a minimal of four lines in a reply.
6. If these rules are broken, you will first get a warning and then second time is the boot. Trolling will not be tolerated either.
7. Magic users are allowed but please no overly powerful magic that makes your character Overpowered or god-like.
8. Try to keep it unique. I don't want lets say 20 werewolves and then 1 magic user. I would like to have a mix batch of creatures and some humans though there can be more then one of each creature I just don't want everyone favoring one creature over everything else that it becomes really disproportional.
9. If you've read these rules put Steampunk at the end of your bio, and I mean at the end, no hiding it somewhere in your bio please.

My Character (Have to finish Personality and History on my character still)
Name: Zacar Allaire
Age (18+): 27
Gender: Male
What type of Creature are you?: He's a werewolf
Occupation: Aircraft pilot and professional hunter
Personality: He is mostly a loner type of person ever since he was turned. He is one of the few werewolves you'll find that actually enjoys flying and being in the few sky cities. Dispite his solo life style he isn't one to let others bully someone else and will stand up against others when he feels they are being rude. He isn't afraid to speak his mind and one to not back down in a fight. The few friends he does have know that once you get to know him he is a bit more open and is a cheery type of guy and hard to make him be disappointed in anything. He feels that his lycanthrope though is a curse which usually tends to make him go out of his way to make friends and keep his distant. He doesn't want to hurt anyone when he turns every full moon.
History: Zacar led a normal life for the most part. He wasn't rich nor poor, just inbetween. He became a pilot so he could ship items from cities that were on the ground to the floating cities. When he wasn't needed for that job he scouted out places for good hunting expeditions to earn some more money to help his family out. Though whilst on one of his scouting expiditions for new hunting grounds he was attacked. He managed to kill the beast but the damage had been done. The first full moon he mistakenly did kill someone, something he keeps secret to himself. He ran away from that city and area becoming a drifter and taking jobs here and there. He settled in a near by forest that lied between a ground city and a floating city and build a home to live in so that no one would be harmed by his full moon nights.
Weapons: The gun in his hunting and pilot image below and of course his plane. As a werewolf his fangs and claws.
Other:What his plane looks like-

[PrimezTime]

Name: Ellie Phillips Fawcett
Age (18+): 26
Human

Occupation (optional though I would like to see it): Inventor, Tinkerer, Shop Owner

Personality (at least a paragraph): Ellie Fawcett is just one of those people that people tend to like after an encounter. She is the "friendly shop owner" that everyone says hi and makes small talk every time they are passing through, but beyond that no one really knows her. She usually keeps people outside of her personal life because she just isn't trusting at this point in her life. This philosophy is not the easiest to upheld because Ellie feels lonely often but tries filling that gap in her life with work. Despite working during most of her daily routine, she often fantasizes about the rest of the world. As a result, she'll sketch little pictures of landscapes or something adventurous but it only furthers her feeling of seclusion, but she still keeps that outward smile and charm.

History (at least a paragraph please): Ellie's life can really be placed in one area, the flying city of Stillworth. She was born in it, raised in it, and has lived in it for the entirety of her life. She was an only child due to her mother and father conceiving at an old age and her mother dying while in childbirth. Ellie's father, a clock-maker by trade, did a fine job of raising her and she had a happy upbringing. It was no surprise that she decided to follower her father's footsteps and become a clockwork engineer and the father was more than happy to teach her. So from the age of eighteen to twenty four, Ellie worked as a partner to her father in his shop. She was happy and maintained a very satisfying lifestyle. That all went South on the eve of her 25th birthday. A potential customer strolled into the shop just as it was going to close. He was a little strange, Ellie had noticed as the man perused around the shop not really looking for anything in particular. When Ellie's father approached the man and asked, the man drew a knife and demanded money. Well Ellie's father wasn't unfamiliar with a petty thief and knew it was just best to hand over the money so he did. Well something must have snapped in the man's mind because as soon as he was handed the money he struck Ellie's father, knocking him down, and he brought the heel of his boot the the head of the old man. Ellie's father was too old and even as minimal as the encounter was, he died. Ellie fled and hoped that her father would be alright but several hours later she knew what became of her father. She left her father to die and that notion has changed her drastically. She slowly faded out of the world and focused only on her work. As time passed she lost contact with her friends and extended family. It was just her and the shop.

Weapons: Her father's old rifle, powder, and shot is still hanging around the shop. Somewhere.

Other: Ellie discovered her uncanny ability to breathe 'life' into clockwork machines. They run smoother and her machines seem to live out on their own. Because of this, she has numerous clockwork toys flying and marching around the office. A Fawcett toy has become a cherished child item as a result of her ability.

Question, though.

Is there a certain level of Magic involved or is the Fantasy portion just centered around the mythical creatures?

Edited: Actually I am interested, but I have to many role-plays right now I must withdraw.

I guess if you want to use magic you can but just don't make your character overlypowered with it that they are invincible. Also if you are using magic I guess it would be more of a specific field. Like is he or her a necromancer or some other form of magician/wizard/witch?

Actually my use of magic would be very small.

[Argetlam350]

Then go ahead. I have no qualms with magic as long as it isn't overly powerful that it makes your character invincible or god like.

[TheFrontLine]

I'll get an application up within the hour.

Lost a bit of interest, might re-make application later.

[Argetlam350]

All right. Just to let everyone know. This RP probably won't be started until tomorrow. I'm giving a day for everyone to sign up that are interested and want to join so no need to rush.

[Argetlam350]

Also I'll probably be making up city names throughout the RP because I honestly don't have any sort of map for this RP yet.

[ListenUp]

Question: Are magic users going to be considered humans or creatures or both?
