WIP depending on interest check.

At least half a century has passed since the discovery of the hollow earth, technology advances exponentially as the analytical engine was invented. Machines and weapons are now powered by steam, diesel, springs, gears and cogs. The next step in technological advancement will possibly be the achievement of consciousness in machines.

Politics-wise, different empires found their way into Agartha and are trying to grab their share of power within the Aeraport. Intense negotiations and debates still occur on a daily basis on how to divide the newly conquered lands from the native creatures. There are rumors that a certain country/organization just declared war on the city.

As explorers first paved the land of Scorpion's Ville, new mining sites of rare minerals (gold, iron, copper, jewels) and oil are discovered. The economy in Aeraport immediately boomed. A unified currency of cog-shaped gold coins, commonly called "Chink" was created and used to facilitate trades. Merchants from all walks arrived at the metropolis to sell and buy goods. New types of jobs are created as there are needs to protect the mining sites from creatures and bandits.

Social status and stereotypes are a real thing in the metropolis. There are places only aristocrats have access to, while skin-color and gender are still an issue; but at least the situation is improving. As the number of female inventors and politicians increase, the city hears new voices as groups and societies are formed to protect certain human rights.

On the other hand, religion also finds its place into the city. New beliefs have formed when the hollow earth is proven. Some people believe that the hollow earth is where hell is, and man has no rights to conquer the land; some others think that the creatures here are the gods and started worshiping them. Of course, there are also some extreme occultists...

The environment of Agartha is a peculiar one. The sun always hangs right in the middle of the sky; everyday an eclipse slowly forms as night befalls. Interestingly, the day-night time period coincides with that of the outside world. Climate and the four seasons in the hollow earth are also not much different from the surface... so far.

The role play will focus on the expansion of human settlements across the hollow earth while fighting off ridiculously gigantic creatures.

Name
Mikhail Falkher
Gender
Male
Age
22
Birth Place
Small time town in Michigan
Role/Occupation
Mechanic/inventor/mercenary/novice smith
Appearance
Boast about how ugly you are.
Equipment/Inventory
Poor as fudge! Mikhail has next to no money as he spends all the money he gets on materials for his weapons/stuff. Though, he does have a prosthetic arm that has replaced his right arm. He wears green tinted goggles, a long swallowtail trenchcoat, a brown vest with black leggings.
Strengths
Well….Mikhail is mostly shit in combat. However, he is a boss with a sniper rifle. Though, what keeps him alive is his skill with machines. So far, Mikhail has been able to develop several butterflies, for a total of five, and has at his disposal 20 spiders. His mode of transportation is akin to a segmented tank.
Weaknesses
Priorities. Mikhail is really bad with his priorities, often times putting some machinery or resources above his own life or even another’s life. He also can't shoot a pistol worth crap. Mikhail is probably the only human being that can miss his target with a shotgun.
Personality
Mikhail is a very bubble person when he's talking about either machines or materials. However, if one was to ask him about money, Mikhail's mood would plummet. He often doesn't realize that something potentially dangerous is nearby, unless he is looking for it, that is.
Essay is a WIP, will be updated throughout the RP.
Background
Mikhail was a nobody. Only a small time tinkerer in a small time town.Mikhail used to dream of the days that he could truly spread his wings. Now, with Agartha, those dreams may very well be a reality. Mikhail has been tinkering since he was born, always the inquisitive sort, he continuously astonished his parents. However, Mikhail’s ingenious came at a cost. He was unable to truly connect with his peers, often alone and with his machines.
When he was fifteen, Mikhail perfected the first of his spiders. Each of which are a foot in diameter and about six inches tall, though they can be a foot tall when they bring their legs together. They have been outfitted with the tools for dismantling and construction. Though five of them were built for the express purpose of gaining materials and processing them.
When he was 18 Mikhail developed the first of his butterflies. They are about ten inches wide, a few inches tall. Mikhail was able to create a frequency distributer between the butterflies and his goggles, as such, if Mikhail chooses, he can see through his butterfly’s eyes. Mikhail has been able to develop five of them.
When he was twenty, Mikhail got into an automobile accident, taking his right arm from him. As such, he was forced to create his own replacement arm, as he was unsatisfied with the options he was given. His new arm, while not any stronger than the original, has an assortment of tools in the forearm.
When he first travelled down to Agartha, Mikhail had just enough money to purchase an old, broken down foundry truck. After spending nearly month fixing it up, Mikhail is finally ready to set out on his own, or with others as the case might be.
