Hey, here's a non-squicky way to get cheese: deactivated yeast can be made into a cheesy substance. Yeast can be gotten from the skin of apples and other fruits. If sugarbeet is cultivated, then they can easily make it, and boom! A cheesy substance not derived from latex.

Don't suppose that after this quest I could join?

Well, that's 100% enough people to get us going. I'll work on finishing off the OOC, and then we will begin!

The Guttersnipes of Lydin

Very much interested in this, cool setting, I'd play a boy from a merchant family, probably picked on by the others for being from a richer background before ending up under the madame's care. His upbringing giving him a small leg up on calculus and stuff like that. Standard parents died in a fire thing I think. About the Faunus, what are these, what do they look like etc?

Side note good job on handling @Instigator he lives up to his name ^^. same for instagator to thoroughly checking the parameters of a RP before joining.

@frapet

Taken from the in progress OOC.

Faunus are, for all intents and purposes, humans, but with at least one, although two is also common, animal features. These features can be immediately obvious, or can be more innate. The maximum features that a faunus has been found to have is 5, and any more than 3 is very rare.

Attitudes towards Faunus are very much dependant on what species they most resemble. Canine and Equine Faunus are probably regarded highest, due to propensity for strength in the latter, and military prowess in the former. Vulpines are alternately believed to be good luck, or bad luck, and sometimes even outright evil, whilst the worse regarded tend to be rodents and felines- the former for obvious reasons, whilst felines are heavily regarded as untrustworthy, lazy, and criminal.

@Irredeemable
So gang warfare is so prolific it required a special law enforcement unit to be established in victorian-esque london?
Also, about that "staying away from violence" thing - you wanna keep this stuff like, PG-13, is that what you mean? Because I've already read up on the best and the dreadful parts of that time and boy i am telling you, without degradation and men stooping to the lowest lows for the sake of survival and proliferation a London gutter ain't going to be a gutter.

@Instigator

Not what I intended with 'anti-gang police.' And no, It won't be PG 13, but the whole point of this is that it isn't all about shooting and violence. The stolen artifact is what the plot will revolve around.

@Irredeemable
Hold on. The Lydin is in WW 1 tech-level, yet redcoats are still a thing? Like a part of everyday uniform? And should i understand that the city is under a martial law, if the common unrest and homicide are policed by military instead of specialized organs?

@Instigator

The TECH level is WW1. Culturally, it's very much still Victorian era London. Also, no, it's just easier and more thematically appropriate to say 'redcoats,' than it is to say 'anti-gang police.'

”Imagine what we could do if we rose above our baser instincts to cower and run?”

Name: Flint of Rushhaven

Rank: Watcher

Appearance: From tip to tail, flint without clothing would be a rather average mouse. He’s a plain brown colour, perhaps a few streaks of white along his back. His whiskers are shorter than most of his kinsmen, and on his paws, he has very little fur, but there is otherwise nothing particularly distinguishing about him.

That is, unless he is fully dressed. He wears a steely grey overcoat, with a wide hood with no ear holes. This means that with his hood up, his ears are flattened and poke out over his eyes, which are normally covered by a pair of moleish tunnelling goggles- modified to fit his face. Underneath this, he wears a set of alchemist’s robes, slightly altered to allow him to run more easily.

In battle he uses a crossbow, his quiver tucked away inside overcoat, and has a comically large butchering knife for taking parts from prey he hunts to gather his ingredients. Finally, he has a leather satchel that contains chemicals he has gathered on the field, or a new concoction he wishes to try out.

Finally, he has a specalist pair of gloves. These are made from lizard leather, with a hardened milksap covering. This makes them fire retardent, battle retardent, chemical retardent and stupidity retardent, whilst also allowing him to finely use his hands should needs be.

His mount- a bombardier beetle with a slightly shiny black shell, has a saddle near the head of it. This saddle also includes two large bags that hang down between the creature’s legs. The bags themselves are stuffed with down from various birds and have thin partitions between them, in order to carry reactants.

Personality: Flint believes that mice are creatures that are inherently capable of great feats, and are only held back by their natural instincts. Because of this, he himself tries to be as much of an exception as he can be. He works in the most modern field of alchemy when he’s not on the battlefield, deliberately hunts down creatures that most mice would try to avoid if they could, such as his bombardier beetle, and constantly toils to make more spoorwall juice in order to expand the area that the kingdoms can expand.

When fighting, you’ll rarely find him at the back of the lines, despite his crossbow. His bombardier’s saddle is designed to allow him to stand both forward and backwards on it whilst still firing, and he has been known to charge his beast in rear-first, using its chemicals in combination with explosives and carefully placed bolts.

The only time he’s ever taken cover was when he encountered an owl, and in that circumstance, nobody really blames him for hitting the deck.

STR: 7
CON: 10
DEX: 12
CHA: 7
INT: 20
LUC: 9

Equipment:
Hand Crossbow: A hand crossbow designed to be rapid-fired and quickly reloaded. Useful at close ranges… Not so much at a distance. They’re decent enough. -3 points
Hunting crossbow: A bog standard, Glendale hunting crossbow. Much better at long range than the hand crossbows. -2 points.
Scalpel: It’s very sharp, but it’s still a scalpel, and absolutely not designed for combat. -1 point
NOTE: Flint also owns a butchering knife, but it’s very large and he can’t actually wield it in a combat situation. Because of this, it’s not included.

Steady Hands: Bonus dex when mixing any kind of dangerous substance

Student of Anatomy: Bonus to crit chances.

Oddity: Reduction to charisma when charming and convincing

Over-reliant: Flint gains a stat reduction when he is unarmed or using his scalpel.

Trade: Flint is an alchemist at heart, and was an apprentice alchemist when he was a civillian back at his home in Rushaven- near the outskirts of Glendale.

Friend: Lucknow of Glendale. A mouse that Flint grew up with, and who he once helped out of a nasty incident with a rhino beetle. They remain in letter contact.

Enemy: Ethelred of Glendale. If an alchemist has made one mistake, he considers himself a fledgling alchemist. Flint has made many mistakes, but his first was with Ethelred, where he accidentally destroyed more than half of her fur. She’s never forgiven him.

History: Flint was an alchemist’s apprentice when he was in Glendale, but experiences when he was doing fieldwork, mostly regarding dangerous wildlife and the slaying of them, convinced him that his burgeoning combat skills would be better used within the Watch.

@Irredeemable Accepted! Stick a cloak color on him -- Yellow for yellowed pages? Blue for cool, aloof analysis? Up to you, I just need a cloak color on everyone so people can dramatically recognize pieces of their cloak if they go missing/die -- and polish up his belief statement. The second one's not a huge issue, I just need the first few sheets to be relatively consistent when people see what accepted sheets look like. Also, give dat boi a text color.

@DeadbeatWalking

He wears a steely grey overcoat

@Irredeemable

Also, his text is grey too- it's just hard to differenciate.
