@13org I'll take a look in the moment, mate.

@Deos Morran Please do. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see what people are making with the world I thought up. On the subject of augmenting your abilities, I have this to say - make a Dragonkin character. They're permanently in peak physical condition, and are essentially enhanced by magic occurring naturally in the pathogen they carry (hereditarily, oddly) to that end. We can encounter magical artefacts permitting you to further up the ante on this in the RP itself, but that relies on tangling with the Heavens' Eyes directly, which none of us are ready for yet.

Both of ya please do feel free to co-make your characters as bounty hunters.

I'm also not ranged (well, not entirely ranged haha)

Ekaterine will use her rifle to allow her to sneak if there are too many enemies to her to get close, and after that, she'll use her trench knife to painfully murder her targets.

Think of her somewhat as a rogue/trickster.

@13900IpForThis They're not just capitalist, they're imperialist, and very good at it. A huge part of the reason they've not been totally overthrown is because their hegemony is sourced not from domination but also from cooperation. They protect the working class from the most insidious of organised crime rings- though a certain degree of it is allowed to continue, to make people dependent on the state - so that nobody can call them ineffective. Additionally, the upper classes aren't all that debauched - they're obsessed with Genius and Invention more than simple luxury and pleasure, though they like that too - so the human trafficking trade doesn't have a large market to pander to.

Plus, I didn't really make that kind of World. I imagine there are places as dark as that, but we have yet to venture into them - and our characters are only at the beginning of their journeys, we have much stronger to get. I'll take a look at your app in a minute.

@Bazmund Actually we had this whole thing about making them a bounty hunter team.

Also... do gunblades exist? I had this thought of weildingn two swords but what if those swords were strapped to pistols!

Back to magic though. I'm cool with being at odds with the Heaven's Eye, but I was really hoping to be Human. I got all these cool pictures and everything! Still, I guess I could switch, just need a minute to roll some stuff around and totally redo the appearance tab. As for the physical aspect of it... The whole idea was that he'd be faster than any normal man due to this magic to kinda level the playing field for him being a swordsman in a gunslinger's world.

@Deos Morran Gunblades, not exactly - though there are likely swordsmanship schools that incorporate a revolver or pistol, to even the odds. Also, there will be plenty of room for traditional melee regardless of speed - which is why my character has a sword too. Dragonkin are just male, they don't NEED to be ginger or anything. Male and dyslexic and good with dragons is their calling cards.

@Bazmund Ok so no gunblades, again I'm not surprised. I'm not happy about now being dyslexic... but I can work with that. In fact it may kinda fit into his established personality. Though I do want to talk to you about the magic. I've fallen in love with this idea of being a fragile weakling, who's fast as all get out. So while I totally get what's up, I do wanna talk about how to integrate this concept into your world.

@Bazmund "[The Red League] Formed primarily of rebel serfs from the Oakheart Sovereignty, but also a significant portion of the Iron Dominion's leftist workforce, they exist in the south of the Eversky."

For The Iron Dominion to have a substantial leftist workforce, some conditions must be poor, otherwise there would be no reason to rebel or migrate to a different nation. What do the leftist of the TID (The Iron Dominion) want in particular? Same as the leftist of medieval time? Just how liberal are they?

Also, what about religion, excluding the mad Heaven-Eyes?

@Deos Morran Go for it and PM me.

@13900IpForThis The Iron Dominion does have ultimately poor conditions for the working class. However, they're not as bad as allowing paedophilic human traffickers preying on urchins to continue operations. The Iron Dominion's leftist side are more about healthcare, and social mobility - and their radical side is, as always, about destroying the class system entirely. As it happens, things do not have to be dire-dire-dire for socialist causes to arise. The work of Jack Kinz is a fantasy analogue for Karl Marx, only it exists in a setting where the oppression of the working class was not quite as extreme, causing the Kinzian revolution to ultimately be unsuccessful. If it had been successful, there would be neither an Iron Dominion, nor an Oakheart Sovereignty. There would only be the Red League. Notably, living conditions in the Iron Dominion have improved significantly since the Kinzian revolution, in order to avoid it happening again. Either way, your original backstory is way out.

On the topic of religion, it does exist, but primarily in the Oakheart Sovereignty. The Iron Dominion is a bit like Britain in that whilst they're all technically something like 'Church of England' or whatever, they mostly don't actually practice. They subscribe to an industrial ideology instead, putting their stock in progress, and machines. The Red League really isn't very religious, but the former Oakheart serfs tend towards superstition.

@Vinsanity Your images are broken, and I'm afraid I cannot accept this app anyway. I should have been more clear, but nobody is allowed a dragon to begin with. Additionally, you have not read the OP properly. Jane Oakheart never came to rule the Oakheart Sovereignty, the Heavens' Eyes are not called the Heaven Sky, and as far as I recall, I have not allowed people to possess artefacts from the get go. Additionally, the World Court do not hire criminals, or known criminals in any of the Big Three - hence breaking his oath to the Oakheart Dominion would naturally preclude him from working with the World Court, as they're a UN type organisation. Please feel free to reapply.

@13900IpForThis Right, you've definitely improved on your previous app, but I still get a feeling that he won't quite fit. You've also called Adroit/Adrion/Adriot three different names at various places throughout the CS.

However, I like that you've come back and made the changes I advised every time. It shows dedication. Your app is accepted - but please don't disappoint me.

@BazmundOps. Fixed it.

How come? Is it because of the bow/hunter emphasis or his character itself?

I'm not new to RP or writing, but this is my first group RP, as well as first bio creation of characters. Feel free to go on a lecture if you would like.

Okay, well, I've finished my character, but I can't quite figure out how to get images into the reply box. Plus, given past examples, I'm slightly worried the images I have won't work anyway.

@CollectorOfMyst All you need to do is find your image on the web, right click it and select "copy address" or "copy URL" or something along those lines, and then paste that inside some tags.

@13900IpForThis I'm not entirely sure what it is. I'm worried you don't understand the world fully either. I don't know, we'll discuss it in PMs.
