Right. When I looked at the map, I thought those actually marked borders, haha. Will edit the post soon. Just a question: How advanced are ships in the world of RUNE?

For the very wealthiest? THEY FLY.
For nobles? The ironclad ships of today.
Everyone else? 1600's era boats.

Into the bin.

[Freeshooter92]

Alright, minor update on the bin: Now there's handy-dandy links to all the posts and shiz. I also added a title for all your peeps, just let me know if you want me to change it.

[Freeshooter92]

Also, not sure I mentioned but RUNE doesn't have months, the year is divided into four seasons, each consisting of ninety one days, therefore leaving the year to be about one day shorter than a year on earth.

Good jub.Also mateotis, all the continents on RUNE are separated by oceans.

Yeah, but there's another angle to come at the city so that you could walk there, yes?

Yes, it's open until some point I say it isn't.

Well here's what I got so far! Might make a few edits to the bio, but this is pretty much complete. Hope you like the Seaplane flying, adventurous mercenary! XD [


Username:
Kilo6
Name:
Katherine Avans
Race:
Boring ole Human
Age:
26 but nobody ever thinks that!
Gender:
I would hope you could tell I'm a girl.....
Homeland:
Ventus, but ethnically from Terra.
Appearance:

Size:
5'8 in terms of height
Elemental Affinity:
Air
Bio:
Born into a poor immigrant family that had just moved to Ventus in hopes of restarting their life. Her early life was a hard one, like so many others of the world. She grew up in the streets of one the larger cities of the land. In the streets, learned how to fight and how to assert her own dominance. Though through her early childhood to early teenage years, she became sort of the watchdog of the gangs, often protecting those who could not protect themselves. On the home front, life was hard. Her mother died in a factory accident and her father was sent into a emotional spiral. He struggled to get over his addiction to alcohol for the sake of his only daughter, but soon died from withdraw symptoms when Katherine was thirteen. With little hope for a better life, Katherine tried to make the best of her situation on the streets. She did odd jobs of cleaning and maintaining some the aircraft from the nearby port, but never made any real money. One day when Katherine was fourteen, she came across a well dressed boy being kidnapped in an ally by a masked man. She quickly responded and attacked the masked man, surprising him with a rusty shiv stuck into his shoulder blades. He, of course, let go of the boy and slowly turned to face his attacker, only to receive an unexpected blow to the head. Katherine gave one good stomp on the man's head before yanking the knife out and offering a hand to the terrified boy. He shakily took it. Katherine ran, towing the boy behind her until they were far away from the ally where the man had attacked.

"Sorry about that.... I had to act fast. Are you okay? Nothing badly hurting?"

"Ye...yeah..... I'm okay....Who... who are you?"

"I'm Katherine! Nice to meet you. And you?"

"Ralph... Ralph Pyrite Ventus.... Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

When Katherine suggested that she walk home with him, Ralph was hesitant, but eventually gave in. As they walked, Ralph became more and more curious about Katherine's life and being the open person she was, she happily told him what he wanted to know, both good and bad. Eventually they arrived at Ralph's home where Katherine learned why he wore nice clothes. Ralph was the first born son of a noble family. While not as high as other families in Ventus, they still held considerable political power. From then on, Katherine and Ralph became good friends. Thanks to Ralph and his very grateful family, Ventus was able to come over every day and educate herself on whatever she wanted as was her request. There she learned all sorts of things, particularly flying and sailing. She became fascinated with adventuring around the world and she and Ralph thought up of all sorts of different ways they could tour the world. Though as they grew older, they began to spend less and less time together. Ralph often was out of town due to family or learning the ropes of the political world leaving Katherine alone for many weeks. By the time Katherine was eighteen, Ralph's family had to move as they were given a special position in the capital. Katherine thought she would never see her friend again and said her final goodbyes.

For her early adulthood she got a full time job of being a mercenary, often protecting parties willing to pay. On her 21st birthday however, she received a special visit. On that day, there was a knock on her door. Grabbing her pistol, she cautiously approached the door.

"Who is it?"

"An old friend of course."

Katherine's eyes widen and she quickly holstered the pistol and opened the door. Before her was Ralph and two body guards. As it turned out, he had come to visit to give her a present, as thanks for being his friend for so long. As a special gift, Ralph gave her the keys to a large, long range seaplane and made her promise that she would do the adventuring for him as he was now the head of his family and could not go out to see the world in the way she could. With that promise she set out her new seaplane almost the very next day, all of the flying, sailing, and living on the ship coming oddly natural to her... like it was meant that way. To this day, she flies to place to place, often getting mercenary/bounty jobs to pay for her needs.

Personality:
Katherine is a kind, straightforward individual that doesn't like to BS around. She's fairly intelligent, sarcastic, and always likes to ask questions to learn more. However she is an adventurer at heart, with a love of flying through the air and seeing the world. This girl, like many, has a dark side to herself. Put in the right spot, she will be dark, and cruel in any sort of fight, often fighting chaotically and with little to no sense of "honor" thanks to her days on the streets. All in all she's just trying to make it through life the best way possible.
Skills:
-Fighting Dirty-
-Being Practical when Needed-
-Flying Aircraft-
-Laying down the hurt with the rifle-
-Not Being a Dick-

Equipment:
A semi automatic rifle that fires powerful 7.62mm rounds both regular and armor piercing if need be
A six shot .45 revolver
A big ass Knife (fixed blade, 8 inches)
A trench tool(a pickaxe and shovel in one!)
Various items aboard her Seaplane
Her Mk 10 Amphibious Aircraft nicknamed the "Stingray"

Other:
A little about the "Stingray". It's roughly the size of a small yacht internally and isn't too big externally besides it's wingspan. On board Katherine has a bunk, a small stove, a few crates with food, water, and other items. She has made a few modifications to the aircraft, such as a better, more efficient engine and has tools on board for quick field repairs. It's propelled by a Mk 7 MJ Songbird Rune Engine, a compact rune engine that needs to refuel less often than earlier models, but suffers from poor performance when pushed to the limit.

[Freeshooter92]

Christ, that was quick.

Sweet mother theresa on the hood of a mercedes benz, that's a big fucking plane. ._.

I like her, but I think having a plane roughly the size of a blue whale is a no-go. Any chance I can convince you to take a fighter-sized plane instead?

I see someone likes Team Four Star's "Attack on Titan" Abridged ;)

Hmmm.... well its not supposed to be super big. Just something doubles as a home of sorts as well. Like... it would be close to the size of PBY Catalina if you know what that is. I mean that's actually not a very big plane (Saw one in person once, the camera really does add the pounds XD)

Actually, what I have in mind is a bit smaller than that, more like it could only comfortably fit two people if you get what I'm saying. That image provided is the style I'm going for, not neccarily the size.

DA PLANE.

[Kilo6]

OH wait, I get the confusion here. When I said "yacht" you thought:


When I meant the smaller, sailing kind:


And like I said before, I think it's actually somewhat smaller and crampt than even that.

No, look at the picture...


See the thing I have circled? That's a turret-mounted .50 caliber machinegun that fits a whole person in the bubble. That behemoth can fit at least two tanks in it. If I had to guess, I'd say that it's a bomber. You can have anything with space in the cockpit roughly equivalent to a two-door sedan, not an ounce more. I mean, one of us is starting with knives and bags of ash, I'll let you get away with a plane, just like I let another guy get away with an artillery piece, but no 'mobile home' sized planes, good god the potential for airdropping angry demons is ridiculous.
