Male
Appearance
โโโโโโโโโโ
Mr Brown is a nondescript gentleman with a kind of handsomeness that is pleasing to look at, but you are not to likely to think back on in jealousy or lust. His facial hair is kept trimmed and in good order, his longer hair is often loose beneath his hat, but when a hat isn't involved it is often found pulled back into a ponytail. Dark brown eyes that leave you curious about what is hidden behind them, but no special detail about them reminds you of them when you see something else at a later date. While fit and trim he often dresses in layers as to disguise his form, his movements, and gives him plenty of pockets to put things in and pull things from.
School
โโโโโโโโโโ
School? No time for that, too busy working and earning my keep.
Guild
โโโโโโโโโโ
Guild? Those that need my skills and are willing to pay for them always seem to find me. No need for the guilds to get involved... unless they want to pay me.
Gift
โโโโโโโโโโ
The gift of suggestion: Through a sort of scholarly attribute Mr Brown is able to broadcast a kind of mental suggestion; the simpler the better, and the more focused the higher the success rate. Perhaps if he had ever gone to school to train and develop the skill further he would have been able to use it to its fullest potential, alas that is not the case. Instead he has learned how to use it in a few specific ways:
- Don't look at me
- Don't listen to me
- Don't smell me
- Don't notice me at all
Me can be changed to Us and a small area around himself suitable for maybe 2 additional people if they stand really closely together will be blocked from perception.
A general broadcast will catch more people, but is easier to shake off. A focused broadcast will be harder to break through, but really only affects one or two people.
Other people with scholarly abilities are simultaneously resistant and susceptible to the effects of the suggestion. If their gift is in active use, their mind is open and easier to push the suggestion to, but if they are not actively using their gift than their mind is closed and harder to push. The same is true for Mr Brown. If he is using his gift and a mind reader reaches into his mind they will get much deeper than they typically would be able to achieve.
Automatons are not effected by his suggestions at all.

Occupation
โโโโโโโโโโ
Mr Brown makes it day to day by peddling in secretes. Using his gift he sneaks into the targets life and gets information and reports it back to the people that hired him. He can do physical theft too, but is less inclined to do so. More likely to notice something missing than someone standing there in the corner waiting.
Personality
โโโโโโโโโโ
Dameon is crass and blunt and sarcastic, nowhere near a ladies man, and nowhere near a gentleman. He is far too serious, and claims to be too busy for any of that non-sense, there is money to be made.
Why would Captain Kingsford contact them?
โโโโโโโโโโ
They didn't. Mr Brown was on assignment when he intercepted an invitation from the real Mr Dameon Brown. It didn't completely add up, so he kept it and decided to make an appearance to see what it was all about.
Preferred Weapon
โโโโโโโโโโ
If I have to kill a man I'd prefer to do it with my own two hands, something quiet and discreet. A knife works well, a Garrote if there's time and nobody else around. Of course if I can bring a man down without killing him I'd rather do that. Submission holds and other forms of incapacitation are his go to if there is time for it.
Preferred Method of confrontation
โโโโโโโโโโ
One-sided. If he has to fight someone to achieve his task, he would much rather do it without his opponent knowing they were in a fight until it was too late.
Biography
โโโโโโโโโโ
The Real Mr Brown is somewhat of a merchant specializing in acquiring certain items that may or may not be of certain legal statuses... okay, he's a high profile smuggler and drug dealer. What the honorable captain wanted with him is anybody's guess and why he decided to take the invitation and go in his place.
The person before you is not the real Mr. Brown, but nobody in the room really knows that for sure. At least, not yet... he hopes. The person masquerading as Mr Brown is actually David Wheaton. Born as a poor orphan he too soon learned the hardships of life, and too soon found a use for his gift. Dropping out of the provisional schooling that Hourglass city offers to those of his status, he enrolled in the school of hard knocks and earned a degree in Street Smarts, putting his gift to good use making a name for himself by not making a name for himself.
He has a friend from the Orphanage, John Laird, who acts as his Agent and fencer/delivery boy, but if he ever talks about him, he'll almost always be referred to as Jay.

hihi everyone new npc info is up
๐read ๐udding, whose real name is Edna Cogsmith, appears to be nothing more than the wife of a fisherman. To supplement their income, Edna pushes a handcart around all day, selling dried fish and kippers. The two live in a small run-down house in the slums of New Toppingham.
๐owever, Edna and her husband are part of the rumored "Thieves' Guild" that has recently risen to prominence within Hourglass City's criminal underworld. Not much is known about them, other than the fact that they are, at most, a loose conglomeration of various small factions-a mediator and/or a "middleman" between groups, of sorts.
๐dna herself is nothing more than a gossip-monger...though she is extremely skilled at her job. While she is out and about selling fish, Edna is able to collect a vast array of information, ranging from the trivial and the crude to the world-changing. She may have no idea that the Scholar Minister is hosting a ball for whatever reason, but she does know more than she should about the extensive espionage network of the Minefield Triarchy.
๐lunt, brash, and as stubborn as a mule, Edna comes off as a grumpy old man but is actually quite kind, even if she has a propensity to insert inappropriate language into every sentence that comes out of her mouth. Adrianna was forced to rely on her assistance some years ago while investigating an underground smuggling ring, and as much as it pains Captain Kingsford to admit it, Edna is quite good at what she does.
๐dna is currently twenty-two years of age, and does not belong to a Guild. She is, however, almost inhumanly fast and agile.
also i am working on compiling my notes (and making them like, grammatically correct) for how EXACTLY ppl made automatons back in the day, which i will make available to yall once it is finished

Adrianna paused, letting her gaze flit around the room. "There are quite a few matters to address. Lady Imperia-Airwright and I have discussed it at length, and we believe that a division of tasks would be the most efficient way of confronting this problem."
"I would very much appreciate it if anybody familiar with members of the Craftsmen Guild could assist Lady Imperia-Airwright and Bread Pudding in investigating Miss Shoreditch. In addition, if anyone has information regarding the missing individuals, it would be very helpful. Lieutenant Enright is a member of the Legionnaire Guild-as I previously mentioned-and Mr. Bay a member of the Scholar Guild. Mr. Smith, as you may have inferred, is in the Scholar Guild as well, and was a student at the Polytechnique Institute."
"The Supreme Commander is of the opinion that determining what sort of procedure Mr. Elliot would have used to create automatons, as well as the materials necessary, would be helpful. I, for one, agree with this assessment, and I ask that anybody who is familiar with principles relating to automatons and Myalo to share what they know. I will also make Mr. Smith's notes and the materials we were able to salvage from Mr. Overton's laboratory available in the near future."
Adrianna glanced in Rowena's direction as she shifted slightly. "Yes, thank you very much, Captain Kingsford," she said smoothly, sharp brown eyes assessing the individuals gathered. "To add to what the honorable captain has already listed, it would be in our best interests to attempt to monitor the goods being smuggled into the city, especially from Brassham City, which is where many of the tools necessary to create automatons come from."
"And, finally, Bread Pudding has generously found someone to preserve the bodies that have been discovered. The captain and I would like to, mm, examine them more closely, and we would appreciate it if anybody who cared to join would let us know. We do apologize for the rather distasteful nature of such an investigation, but as we all know, such is a part of life."
And that was that. "Please, if anyone has questions, ask them now," said Adrianna. "Lady Imperia-Airwright and I will be setting dates later in April for all of us to convene once again. As I am sure you can tell, we would like to conduct this investigation with the utmost urgency."

new fake science section (can be found in first few ooc posts)
(๐lease note that this information would only be available to select individuals-primarily those who attended the Polytechnique Institute-and that it is not wholly complete, as there are parts that have been lost since the Wasteland Wars)
๐ฃhe ๐eneral ๐rocedure
1. ๐xtract cerebral matter; use the process of centri-filtration (addressed later in this section) in order to separate out the raw Myalo; takes ~3 hours
2. ๐คse a process known as clockwork compatibilization (addressed later in this section) to enhance the success rate of binding Myalo with the metal body; takes ~3 hours
3. ๐eave the metal brain and the clockwork-compatibilized Myalo in a shadow jar (see "Shades and Automatons" hider) together for ~5 hours so that the two can "bind" together
4. ๐nsert the clockwork brain into the body of the automaton
๐ฃhe ๐rocess of ๐entri-filtration
1. ๐pen a channel at the crown of the head with an abralye, which is a small blade-a cross between a needle and a scalpel-that can drill a hole into a human skull at a precise point without killing the person (thanks to a combination of ancient magic and runes); these are found in some archaeological excavations to the east and the south, and most are imported from Brassham City
2. ๐คse Chlrika, a mixture of substances created with ancient sorcery originating from the southern tip of the Known World, to degrade the cerebral matter by pouring it directly into the channel created by the abralye (~1 hour)
3. ๐ฆhen the Chlrika has fully broken down the cerebral matter, clear vapors will begin to emerge from the channel. At this stage, one should insert a thin tube into the channel and guide the emerging vapors and/or other substances into a flask. The substance in the flask at the end of this step should be a dark grey color, with the consistency of oatmeal
4. ๐คse a spiral filter, a device made of bronze and glass and powered by steam, to spin the contents of the flask at a high velocity in order to separate out the raw Myalo by density. The raw Myalo will be visible as a viscous, dark black substance at the very bottom of the flask/container once this step has been completed
๐ฃhe ๐rocess of ๐lockwork ๐ompatibilization
1. ๐ot very much is known about this
2. ๐evertheless, the basics of this procedure involve infusing raw Myalo with a certain "essence of electricity" in order to make it more compatible with the automaton brain and therefore increase the success rate of binding energy from the human mind with a clockwork body
3. ๐ขcientists have speculated that this "essence of electricity" is somehow derived from either lightning or magical energy from an underground source
4. ๐ote that Myalo that has been "clockwork compatibilized" is a light gray color, as opposed to the dark black of raw Myalo
๐ฃhe ๐eneral ๐rocedure
1. ๐xtract cerebral matter; use the process of centri-filtration (addressed later in this section) in order to separate out the raw Myalo; takes ~3 hours
2. ๐คse a process known as clockwork compatibilization (addressed later in this section) to enhance the success rate of binding Myalo with the metal body; takes ~3 hours

3. ๐ฆhen the Chlrika has fully broken down the cerebral matter, clear vapors will begin to emerge from the channel. At this stage, one should insert a thin tube into the channel and guide the emerging vapors and/or other substances into a flask. The substance in the flask at the end of this step should be a dark grey color, with the consistency of oatmeal
4. ๐คse a spiral filter, a device made of bronze and glass and powered by steam, to spin the contents of the flask at a high velocity in order to separate out the raw Myalo by density. The raw Myalo will be visible as a viscous, dark black substance at the very bottom of the flask/container once this step has been completed
๐ฃhe ๐rocess of ๐lockwork ๐ompatibilization
1. ๐ot very much is known about this
2. ๐evertheless, the basics of this procedure involve infusing raw Myalo with a certain "essence of electricity" in order to make it more compatible with the automaton brain and therefore increase the success rate of binding energy from the human mind with a clockwork body
3. ๐ขcientists have speculated that this "essence of electricity" is somehow derived from either lightning or magical energy from an underground source
4. ๐ote that Myalo that has been "clockwork compatibilized" is a light gray color, as opposed to the dark black of raw Myalo
December 19th, 1855
Background
In the light of recent developments in the field of automation, the work of Astory and Brill1(1853) in synthesizing Myalo extracted from the human brain with the brain of a clockwork automaton is revolutionary, although not without faults. The method proposed by Astory and Brill, and subsequently employed by most scientists in creating clockwork automatons, has about a 63.1% success rate, as shown by statistics compiled by Paulsi2(1855). In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of a method known as centri-filtration and first used by Walter and Clarkson3(1854) and a new procedure known as "clockwork compatibilization" (CC).
Centri-filtration is the filtration of raw Myalo (MYA) from the human brain after the human brain has been infused with a mixture of substances (known collectively as "Chlrika") that will degrade the brain matter. After the Chlrika procedure is performed, which will naturally break down the cells and material that makes up the human brain, leaving it in its most basic form, the brain matter is separated out by density, which allows the raw Myalo to be filtered out from the other brain matter.
Raw Myalo itself is a viscous, pure black substance. However, if left over time, it gradually becomes less and less viscous. If it is left alone in a shadow jar (SJ) for more than a year, the raw Myalo will become gaseous, resembling black smoke, as discovered by Wolfe4(1855). The properties of gaseous raw Myalo are still largely unknown."
Clockwork compatibilization, which we refer to as "CC" in shorthand, is a procedure that we performed after the raw MYA was successfully extracted from test subject #21. The basics of this procedure involve infusing the raw MYA with the essence of electricity in order to make it more compatible with the clockwork automaton's brain and therefore increase the success rate of binding a human mind with a clockwork body. Myalo that has undergone the CC procedure is referred to as "CC-MYA" in shorthand.

new npcs!!! last lil update sry
๐ieutenant ๐athaniel ๐nright went missing around the same time that Victor Bennett passed away. He was a member of the Legionnaire Guild and the air-navy, and by most accounts, he was dedicated and dutiful; loyal, if a bit gruff. He is forty-seven years of age, and was born into a long and influential line of Legionnaires. He is married to ๐lizabeth ๐nright, and they have a son, who is twenty years of age. Elizabeth has been particularly distraught since her husband's disappearance, although she has not let it affect the quality of her service within the Legionnaire Guild.
๐ohn ๐acob ๐ขmith was a member of the Scholar Guild, and he went missing about one year ago. He is now twenty-three years of age, and graduated from the Polytechnique Institute of Arts and Sciences as a Discourteous Genius. Although John is very scatter-brained, he is quite intelligent, even if he expresses his intelligence in the form of well-intentioned but rather useless inventions. He began experimenting with building automaton parts on his own during his time at the Institute, and allegedly continued this research after graduation, although his efforts did not yield significant results before his disappearance. There is no evidence that he dabbled in black magic/Myalo during the course of his research.
๐hilomena ๐ขhoreditch went missing in July of 1891, and is currently twenty years of age. She was affianced to one ๐ขebastian ๐ay, who reportedly went missing at around the same time. A member of the Craftsmen Guild, Philomena-who was referred to as "Lo" by her close friends and family-grew up an orphan, though she spent most of her youth as an apprentice to a clockmaker. She ran a small shop that sold a wide variety of clockwork trinket before her disappearance. Her younger brother, ๐ขilas ๐ขhoreditch, is reportedly a good friend of Edna's (Bread Pudding). She was spotted in December of 1891 outside of Silas' place of employment-a dressmaker's shop owned by a woman referred to as "Miss Dorothy".
๐ขebastian ๐ay-"Bash", to his friends and family-also went missing in July of 1891. He is currently twenty-two years of age, and was a member of the Scholar Guild. He worked as an archivist, and specialized in translating documents written in ancient languages (it should be noted that he was especially proficient in the languages of the Wasteland Cities).

So I hope everyone's back from Nanowrimo, though I realize people might be gearing up for holidays soon. I'll try to get a post up soon.
