The Industrial Revolution hasn't slowed in technological progression, and whenever technology progresses, the first thing on everyones minds is "How can we adapt it for military purposes. In exactly one weeks time, the Royal Science Society will be holding a Science Exhibition. Scientists from all over the world are flocking to London to show that they have concocted the most potent weapons. One such science group is Moriarty Industries. A conglomerate that is dedicated to providing the world with the most advanced weapons ever conceived. Giant moving gun emplacements called "Tanks" Guns that can fire not 2, not 3, but more than 30 shots before needing to reload... There are rumours that they have even perfected the unthinkable art of flight. Although, this seems a little convenient, seeing as many scientists working on such technology have disappeared, their offices ransacked. To protect the world from the new technological terrors that are being brought to light, the British Government have created a brand new orginization called "MI6"

Something that has been kept secret is that MI6 are gathering people from all over the world to join, those who possess certain skills, skills that allow them to perform better than other humans. Some have technology that grants them super strength, others were born better... Some were not even born on this planet...

(Of course someone has done a Steampunk Princess Leia fanart. From http://blendover.tumblr.com/post/235179932/steampunk-princess-leia)
Name: Princess Leia Organa of the United Kingdom
Age: 26
Birthplace: Officially, on the ironclad HMS Eris en route to London from Hong Kong, adopted by the Queen and brought up as a Royal Princess amid much speculation about her true parentage and birthright.
Based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Leia
Powers: Initially does not believe herself to have powers but will later discover "The Forge". Powers similar to Star Wars canon Force powers, so levitating objects, influencing people etc.
Equipment: Nothing special initially other than intelligence and royalty. Some kind of lightsaber in future.
Bio: A businesslike woman who works as a diplomat for the Crown, but who has a sometimes stubborn streak; is philanthropic and also hides a softer side and a fondness for charming rogues; people that do the wrong things for the right reasons. Fiercely honourable and patriotic, she works for MI6 in secret.
Extra: Edited a little; I'd originally put her surname down as Windsor but it's a little early for that so I removed it. Five feet tall.
Skills: Brought up in the nobility but a tomboy so preferred riding and shooting to dancing; a good shot with handguns. Some knowledge of languages through her background in politics and diplomacy.

Both accepted thus far, absolutely love the princess Leia sheet. Made even better as I was planning on introducing Lord Vader of Dusseldorf as one of the villains.

Sort of... Not destroying a Planet, but I was thinking of maybe one of the things that Moriarty be designing be an Atomic Bomb to be carried by his own personal Zeppelin.

Anyway, I added our team leader, as well as the babyface of the team.

Name: Morris Prescott

Age: 34

Birthplace: Somewhere in the Middle Class Districts of London

Appearance (No picture or Based on section because this is an OC I suppose): Morris is a rather tall, broad-shouldered man, with a thick beer belly and hairy arms of a musculature specific for breaking up bar fights, and casual arm wrestling. The expression on his plump, brown-eyed face usually lies within the border of "Gruff" or "Confused", depending on how his thick bushy eyebrows are positioned at a certain time. His upper lip harbors a majestic brown handlebar mustache, complete with gloriously groomed muttonchops, which move up towards the back of his head, where he has a short brown ponytail that is held in place by a small brass ring. The majority of his head hair lies towards the back, as the front is balding as he approaches middle age. However, the hairline does move towards the front in the middle, although not quite as sharply as a widow's peak would. When he goes out, he typically wears a three piece suit, consisting of a vertically-striped tailcoat of two tones of yellow, a deep green vest with even deeper green buttons, and a simple white shirt underneath it all. His trousers are brown and pinstriped, and are held up through the use of a leather belt with a large-but-not-quite-comically-large brass buckle. He also carries a brown leather satchel with him consisting of his alchemical notes and reagents in case he needs to perform alchemy on the fly, or if he collects any ingredients whilst out and about.He normally hangs up his tailcoat and satchel when working in the bar, and dons a stained grey apron with his bar's logo on it, a top view of a lobster made of brass.

Powers: May or may not count as a power, but he dabbles in the art of Alchemy, and while he has not discovered how to turn lead into gold, he can concoct various potions for various situations (Closing wounds, creating explosives, extremely sticky glue, etc.)

Equipment: In his tavern, he has as much booze as a tavern needs, and a rifle underneath the bar for when things get REALLY unruly. In the back room and basement, he has access to various alchemical reagents and equipment, as well as his brother Reginald's technological and potentially legally questionable equipment if he asks nicely (Prototype weapons, magnetic spring boots (Highly volatile, needs further testing), some strange electricky glowy object which he always feels the need to show off the incredible amount of circuitry he has packed into this tiny thing goddammit, etc). When he leaves the safety (or chaos depending on how you look at it) of the Brass Lobster, he normally takes a brown leather satchel with him that has several compartments in it for notes, ingredients, flasks, matches, mortar and pestle, etc. for some on-the-go alchemy. In his coat he can also hold some flasks of ready-made potions just in case he gets injured or mugged while out and about.

Bio: Morris is the eldest son of the late Dresden Prescott, the original Proprietor of the Brass Lobster Tavern; and Marie Prescott, loving wife and mother of four. Three sons, Morris, 34, Reginald, 31, and Lawrence, 25; and one daughter, Rebecca, 27. The four of them inherited their parents' tavern after their passing ten years prior, and one year apart from each other, but there has been no problem in running the business, since they have all grown up helping their parents run the place. The Brass Lobster is located very close to where the Royal Science Exhibition is being held, and since two of the siblings (Morris and Reginald) are somewhat sciency types, they would most probably be caught up in the events of such.
Before I go on talking about Morris, I shall give a brief bio about the other siblings. Reginald, the second born, is a very eccentric inventor who doesn't allow such silly confines such as "The Law" and "Oh god please stop you're burning my eyeballs" stop him from experimenting and building various inventions in the basement of his family's tavern. Rebecca, the only daughter, sometimes works as the barmaid and sometimes as a bouncer, as she was brought up in such a manly and boozy environment alongside three boys. She has always been a tomboy, and a heartbreaker, and hasn't met a man that can beat her in a fight, let alone a simple round of arm wrestling, or competitive drinking. Lawrence, the youngest child, usually works as the bouncer, or the errand boy, but him and Rebecca do swap jobs from time to time. He may look scrappy from afar, but up close he can actually be very fierce and intimidating, almost as much as his sister. Almost.
Morris himself works as the bartender, just as his father did, and because of this, he had developed an interest in chemistry from a young age. He eventually branched off from experimenting with different mixtures of beverages, to different mixtures of herbs and minerals as he was strongly intrigued by the way certain elements react with each other. Of course, as the barkeep, he has to keep the bar from falling into utter chaos, and this is helped by his intimidating presence. Nobody wants to be "That Guy Who Pissed Off The Guy In Charge Of Giving Us Food And Drink". As such, Morris commands a certain respect from people that none of his other siblings seem to do.

Extra: Lemme just say that this guy is probably gonna be reluctant to being taken away from his beloved Brass Lobster for an adventure at first, but he will probably end up going if you take him c:

Sorry if I did something wrong, I'm kinda new here.

Re: Death Zeppelin - That would work. While it would be interesting to do Star Wars plot for plot, we're going to have to fit some other plots in and I don't really want to have to nuke London, although we can threaten it a bit. :) Or somewhere British that sounds like Alderaan. Aldershot would probably be the closest. It's a garrison town which makes sense for plot reasons also....

I assume we're going to write our own little plots within the canon of our own plots, so GM referencing Sherlock, SayZun doing Marvel and me doing Star Wars and then we all meet eventually and mash it up?

I did say no OC's, but I only said that in the Interest Check. Also, to everyone, I added a Skills section so you can say what your character can do without their super powers.

It means that Morris isn't. You however, are free to try another character. If you want Alchemy, why not try Edward Elrich? Or another FMA character?

Name: Ja'en "Genie" Yaraqoub

Age: 47

Birthplace: A slum, somewhere deep in the Arabian Empire

Based on: Aladdin's Genie

Picture:

Powers: Through some strange Arabian mystic power, he has the ability to see far into the future, but too far for the information retained to be relevant, and so the information retained is only that of future pop culture. Additionally, he can shapeshift, but only into one-armed versions of people, animals, and objects that he sees in his visions of the far future, which may be useful, but most of the time, he does for comedic purposes.

Equipment: As far as weaponry goes, he has a massive steam grappling hook where his right arm is supposed to be since his arm was already missing and there was no way for him to shapeshift his arm back into place. Might as well make his stump useful for the team.

Skills: In addition to his powers of shapeshifting, Genie has learned to become proficient with his massive grappling hook-arm, not only for fighting but for climbing, and is surprisingly agile and energetic for his age and weight.

Bio: Born in the lowest of slums to a beggar-woman somewhere in Arabia, Ja'en never knew his father, and only knew his mother until she was taken away from him by the emperor's soldiers when he was only 7 years old. Despite being born with one arm, it was since then he had learned how to evade the authorities and survive out in the deepest recesses of the city. He stole to survive, sometimes food, sometimes valuables to sell for food, until one day when he was 11, he stole a whole sack of shiny looking objects. Having his one good hand occupied by the weight of the sack, he was left vulnerable to being mugged by thugs, and they stole the sack, but accidentally dropped a dusty old lamp that was within the collection. Since there was nothing left, he decided that he might as well take the lamp, and as he rubbed it to remove the dust, it began to glow blue, and a mystical energy flowed out of the lamp and into him. It was then that he passed out. He woke up in a prison cell, where he realised that the person he stole the valuables from must have informed the authorities and they captured him while he was unconscious. Having nothing better to do, he decided to give up, and began living out his sentence. That is until the visions occurred. He began seeing the future, and started blabbing on to his fellow inmates about things like "Breaking Bad" and "The Avengers". Of course, he became outcast since they thought he was stark raving mad. A year into his sentence, Ja'en discovered that he could actually transform into what he saw in his visions, albeit one-armed versions of them. As such, he was able to disguise himself into a one-armed pigeon and escape the hellhole, despite being unable to fly due to having only one wing and all. Since then, he had been stowing away on ships and taking up the Moniker of "Genie", based on a cartoon character in the future that he believed he had much in common with.

Extra: Because of his constant exposure to future pop culture, the accent that he has been most exposed to has kind of stuck on him. (American)

I hope this is alright!

Oh my god this is difficult. On the one hand, I fuckin' love the sheet... On the other hand, Genie possesses power that could be exploited... Tell you what. Promise me that you won't power play and i'll accept it.
