- - - - (Personal Details)
First Name: Charles
Last Name: Richardson
Age: 38
Sex: Male
Home Nation: Outer Sky Republic
Appearance: Tall, a good 6ft 5. Rather thin with eyes that could be described as mousy.
Personality: What is there to truly say about personalities? Well, personalities can be judged in all manner of ways and I can tell you they are a pain to write. But here we have Mr Richardson, Captain Richardson. A picture of what happens when you allow someone to not have a psych evaluation. He is as mad as a box of kippers… wait? Does that work? Box of kippers can't always be mad. They are just kippers. Nevermind, he has been through hell and back and kept a smile on his face. Very few things will phase him, not to say he is invincible. He can never turn down a cat or a kitten. Heck if a lizard acts as a kitten he will become a ball of marshmallows (Which is far from normal) he oozes eccentricity and madness follows him wherever he goes. Friendly and funny are words that could follow him too, but if they are laughing t him or with him he will never know.
History: Born on a airship mid run from the west Sky Republic to the north the sky is all he knows and his only love. Born to a family of Skylarkers (I'll write some lore about them later) he was taught everything he needed to know when it came to flying and mid air combat, he wasn't what you would call a natural but he did enjoy it. He would spend all his free time on working and learning his craft the best degree he could manage. When he came of age he joined the Skylarks, an important military force that prevents bandits and pirates between the trading routs.

When he got in he was given the rank and title of Lieutenant, however given his aloof nature he often flew off the rails preventing him from reaching any higher. When he reached the age of 29 he left the skylarks and from his earnings brought a ship to go adventuring, he realised too soon that he couldn't survive by adventuring so he took a job with the merchant navy flying surplus to the lands. He now finds himself at a loose end after being fired, and here his adventure begins.
Occupation: Airship Pilot doing runs from Outlying settlements of the exclusion zone this includes the occasional pass over Paradise but he has never seen what is there.

- - - - (Power Matrix)
Primary Focus: Arkane (But only for machines)
Magical Capabilities: All magic is done through the power of the machine not from him. Be that running a service on his ship or assistance with clearing the cannons
Body Modifications: A metal optical eye and a holster in his left arm and leg
Weapons and Equipment: Sky iron plate mail (Like a kevlar vest, protects the front and back with plate and the sides with chain, it's a vest though), Sky Iron leg plates. A large musket with the letters "SL LT C 'Hatter' Richardson Diamond Musket Company" it shows signs of lots wear and its wood has lost all signs of varnish (The musket is more of a repeaters, fires either normal rounds in a clip of 12 or explosive rounds in a clip of 5. Very rare gun), He has two basic looking muskets with the same lettering on the side (Fires Normal Shot) and Strapped on his leg is a sword painted in streaks of gold and blue.
Specialties: Flying, Fighting with sword and pistol. Firing cannons on the ship. Education.


ok a few things.

Airships are very rare in Thorisa, as far as the Quadra powers know. If they exist, they should either be in very short supply (Maybe 1-3 in the ENTIRE world) or very experimental. I need some more lore on where the airships would be coming from, as well, otherwise that's an instant-denial there.

Other than the air-ship details, he looks ok.

@tex((Imma try to make this look pro, dont hold out though))
The Outer Sky Republic are a large fighting force of trained soldiers. However, they are built over the top of large sulphur pits. Though these pits can prove very useful for gun powder if left for too long in the heat they boil and can explode. To combat this and add to their fighting presence they introduced and created very basic airships to build a higher town. It worked, barely but it worked. They moved from the very basic ships that were just a bored and a large fan to more advanced models where they used Arcane to move the engines. These still weren't reliable as often the engines would pack up or the balloon would lose air often resulting in failures. ((I am not saying I want a huge battle ship. But I sort of expected that a steam-punk RP would have at least a bit of airship)) When he left the Navy he used his commision sell price and money he scraped together to buy a decent airship, one that had a decent engine and bedding arngement. However it takes alot of power to control

I could allow several smaller aircraft that only allow a single person to ride them, and aren't very well-built, but when it comes to huge airships, I'd like to keep them very rare. If you'd like, he can possess a relatively small airship with a few weapons, but since air-travel isn't yet mastered in Tek-noh, if you came too close to the main cities with one, it would rouse some controversy.

Thats what I am saying, no huge battle ship. Just a ship that carries a good ammount of cargo and enough guns for defense

In that case you're good to go. But since you have no relation to the rest of the characters atm, I'll allow you to drop in later on in no-mans-land

@tex Also, it has taken 20 posts over more than a week to get to standing at a gate. Roughly how many months will it take until I can join?

Yep. I don't get how people can't post just once a day.

A post takes about 10-15 mins tops, and nobody can even do that.

Not exactly what I mean...

I do enjoy combat, but that's not really the point I'm trying to make.

@User@Jensoman

It'd look like most of the people who've joined have a fairly slow post speed. Now I'm a little frustrated since things haven't gone anywhere for a couple days, but them's the breaks, I suppose.

I'm going to move the Diver's paradise group ahead as soon as I can, as soon as I wrap up my convos with @blue demon and @unfortunately.

These periodic chances to interact outside of combat will appear often, but if no-one chooses to take advantage, then it's their loss. If you're more interested in the combat portion of this RP, be aware that combat makes up a small chunk of where this story's going. There will be a lot of it sporadically between plot points, but if people sloth-around between action sequences, I'm afraid we're going to get no-where fast.

I have been slower than usual. But now that the hump's over, I should be good again for the foreseeable future.

@Blue Demon Good to hear. I'll have a post up later today, but I want to give Unfortunately a chance to progress our other 1x1 sequence, as well as anyone else who wishes to speak in the Diver's crew.

Regardless, I'm posting this evening.

@tex I do apologize for my slow posting. I do have a job outside of the Guild, however, and it tends to take a lot out of me, not to mention my personal issues that are currently going on. So I can't really promise I'll post faster-- not unless things fix themselves, and even then, I still have to work my job which is being more demanding of me than what they pay (adding more stress onto me, which is making me feel tired, worn out, and lethargic in general). However, I'm still going to post here as often as I can, and since today and tomorrow are my days off, I should be able to do more than I have in the past week.

So, I'm gonna post now! Sorry for the delay.

@Sessamaru I appreciate the honesty. A lot of the time people assume I won't understand reasoning like 'I don't have the energy' or 'I'm too tired' because APPARENTLY I'M A FUCKING TYRANT?

Well I mean who's to say I'm not, there have been really good cases to support that theory, but THAT'S NOT THE POINT-

If you're feelin' down or tired or whatever, it's fine. Just pop in and let us know you're still alive every now and again.

@tex lol, I understand perfectly well how frustrating it can be to run an RP, especially when it's being relatively slow. Like... snail racing slow... Anywho, I just don't want to pop in every day and say "I'm too tired to post." So I tend to spread out my messages from time to time. I know I also say I'll post, but sometimes things drop in my lap and force me away from my computer-- like right now, I have/had an unexpected guest that I'm trying to keep entertained. I'm still intending on posting today. Still want to do it right now; but I'm probably going to be interrupted again.

In short, my post may take a bit longer.

@Jensoman No biggie, I understand.
