Ah, the open sky! Where ships soar and dragons swoop, where mighty battles are fought, where great adventures are had, and where those with enough grit, spit and determination could make a name for themselves, and the Cameribra flow, or just the flow, is where they go to do it. A largely unmapped and unexplored area of sky beasts, floating reefs, cannibal islands and, of course, Pirates, it is also where the greatest treasures are to be found. Upon the great floating islands, entire civilisations might have developed in isolation, as much a mystery to you as you are to them. There could be islands filled with gold and jewels but, by the same coin, there are those that contain nothing but death. Your fate is in your own hands, so strap on your ray gun, pull down your flying goggles, and prepare for adventure!


Hello! If you haven't guessed, this is a classic steampunk rp set in a world of airships and floating islands. A bit stereotypical, I know, but that's why I want to do it, just for the sake of another, classic adventurous romp across unexplored lands, with action, danger, cannibals, and perhaps even the chance of romance along the way. What's not to like? Since we're heading into an unexplored area, the world is defined by what you want to happen, if you want to world build, we can go and discover it and build it in game. (I think that's pretty cool)

In terms of commitment, I'd like to see at least one post a week, hopefully more. I won't completely lose it because you miss a post, but if you're absent for a while without good reason, you may find that you're character has been hijacked while you were away. Or they're dead. That could happen too.

Anyway, since this is now the OOC, I believe it to be time to get right into some details. You will be upon your very own ship, the SkyShark, a newish vessel, with 10 guns, two decks and a balloon. You are also provided with a small force of G-Mechs, small, one man aircraft made of paper, wood and brass, powered by a tiny engine with a hand-cranked machine gun in the front. Only the bravest or most foolish would ever dare set foot in one, and their pilots have a reputation for being rather, crazy...
Oh, and you're there too. You are being sponsored by Lord Higgins of Ranchester Island, a somewhat eccentric fellow, who has devoted his fortune to discovery, science, and the betterment of man kind. Only problem is, his fortunes not that large, so he's stuck with you lot and a broken boiler (someone really should fix that). He'll need engineers, captains, scientists, and all manner of weird and wonderful people to execute his missions, so let's get to how you make them!



Since at the time of posting, we don't have many people, I'll say you can make two characters if you want. We can have one Captain, if two people want it we'll go best CS wins, if no-one wants it I'll play the Captain.

Most of the world building we'll be doing in game, since you're entering a completely unmapped area in search of riches and glory, or perhaps something else, what you find tends to be a surprise.

So that's it so far, hope to see you soon.

I like the idea, but my interest is very shaky at the moment, mostly because I'm not particularly keen on going in with no prior worldbuilding.

steam-powered prosthesis


There's so much I want to argue about this, but since I've chosen to roll with the fact that we're in an air-boat, and the person wearing the prosthesis is a dragon, I think I can stretch out my acceptance of the scenario. (Though I absolutely am going to call it out in-game, because that is so silly.)

@Sypherkhode822 Well, if you're going to start off being rude right off the bat then I suppose it would be best for me to just bow out. Good luck.

I didn't mean it to be rude, it's just that the last few Rps I've played have been hard SF, and it was a bit of a shift to go from having to draft the blueprints of every gadget my character used to having a more fantastical element.

Once I moved past my nitpicky pretentiousness, I can appreciate the cool-factor of a steampunk winged dragon.

Dragons are pretty effing rad, can't lie.

Perhaps next time you have an issue with someone's character concept you should contact them privately instead of GMing someone else's game and insulting players. My character had already been cleared, but I guess that's a moot point now. Have a good game.

I really like this idea, and I was going to submit a CS for the captain, but if @Sypherkhode822 is just going to straight up insult characters and promise to do so in character as well, this is not the type of game I want to be involved in. Trying to backtrack and blame "nitpicky pretentiousness" instead of apologizing? Please.

@Drache I really liked your CS. The wing was a neat concept and I'd have loved to see it in action.

I'm regretful for my comment, and I apologize.

I am going to humbly withdraw from this game, so to let the other players interested in this game can enjoy it without being turned away by my comments.

I hope you all have a nice day. Cheers.

And then there was one. I might as well withdraw at this point as well? I was really looking forward to this...

@DrunkasaurusRex Nah, it's alright. Wouldn't be much good with just one. Might try and re-boot it at some point, but until then I'll put this idea to bed.

I think @Visionaryness and I are both still down if you'd have us.
