The people who wrote the instructions for my sister's new printer failed to consider that I might be tripping balls while trying to help her set it up.

Met a guy yesterday who looked and sounded exactly like Hank Hill. Made my week. Logged in today and realized yesterday was this accounts sixth birthday. The universe gave me a gift for the occasion.

Finally getting to that age where I realize that I'm becoming my dad. Called some guy at work "old boy" because I couldn't remember his name. If I order any ww2 books just put me down like a dog, man.
This is not a decision I have come to easily. I have grappled with the thought for a long while now. While I find the universe to be interesting, and I think all of the characters are just full of potential, I've lost inspiration. I don't want to hold things up while I struggle to think of what to do with ol' Kai.
If you wish, I can write a post removing him from events, perhaps killing him off spectacularly. If not, I'll quietly fade away.
In a world covered by dangerous wilds and unforgiving tribal warfare, there is only one sanctuary. The sprawling city of Allisaria, an industrial state existing in the western mountains of the world, reminiscent of Victorian London or Steampunk cities of fiction.
Allisaria is ruled by King Allard Alliser II and his family. They are descendant from the first King of Allisaria, Declan Alliser I. While the Allisarian kings were, for the most part benevolent, there was no love between Allard and his people. He's raised the taxes and gave the city watch unprecedented power. He ruled the city with an iron fist, and the people responded in kind.
After a reign of only four years, Allard, his wife, and two of his children were captured and executed by the Revolutionary Forces. One of his children survived, spirited away by some of the few Loyalists in the city. It wasn't long before the Rebels caught them. While Allard's child managed to escape, the Loyalists weren't so lucky.
The last of the Allisers found themself in a tavern, using the last of their coin to hire a guard to escort them out of Allisaria.
An overpopulated, industrialized city modeled after Victorian London. Pipes carrying steam, the lifeblood of Allisaria, line the walls of most every building. The city is shaped like a large circle, with the Alliser Palace in the center. The nobles live around the palace in a thin ring called Declan's Strip. Then, there's another ring of upper-class housing and businesses. The fourth ring, the largest is full of factories, mines, and boardinghouses for workers. The fifth and last ring is made up of sooty wooden shacks housing the unemployed. The "borders" of the city are nothing more than large expanses of farmland.
Technology is mostly like that of Victorian England. The only thing that sets it apart is the wide use of steam power.
Factories are mass-producing for the first time in history, made possible by steam machinery.
So-called "Horseless Carriages" are cruising the cobblestoned streets propelled by steam.
Flintlock is still the primary form of firearms, however, new repeating "Clockwork Weaponry" is the absolute top of the line. Swords and knives are still the most commonplace weaponry.
(Fill this out if your character is Allard's last child)

Personality: (What are they like?)
Bio: (What was their childhood like? Did they get along with the other Alliser children? How did they like the royal life? What did the people think of them? Did they disagree with their father's choices? Things of that nature)
Skills: (An heir(ess) learns all sorts of things. Question is, how many of those things will be useful? Did they train with the captain of the guard? Were they fond of hunting or horseback riding? Did they tinker with steam machinery? Were they a great cook? How intelligent are they? Things of that nature)
Anything else?: (Any other interesting info? Habits, fears, quirks, facts and the like, as well and anything else that doesn't fit into the above sections.)

Anything Else?: (As with the Royal, this is just a catch-all section.)
*Was a life of which we all dream.
That should be it, contact me with any questions or concerns.
Oryx (@Onarax) I noticed you put on the pad you wanted a reroll? Is that still true? If so, I already have one randomized for you. Just let me know and I'll post it up for you.
On a similar note, I, too want to re-roll. Not sure if you saw that, and I hate to annoy you, but ye.
@WickNo internet, and most city-dwellers make a fairly middle of the road income. Most cars aren't new and fancy, but rather lovingly restored pre-fall cars.
@WickThe 100? I'm afraid I've not. People in the bigger Eastern Cities are going to be almost like the average citizenry of today. People outside of the Iron Empires Three Major Cities (What Used to be Boston, Richmond, and Philadelphia) live more like the farmers and scavengers of the fallout universe, tending harsh land and dressed in oft-repaired clothes. The West has only one major city (Seattle) and the people there live a modern life. People who aren't in Seattle live a large variation of ways, as everyone is far too isolated to have any sort of consistency.
Two-hundred-sixty years after a long-forgotten Apocalypse, the former United States is split in half. The Eastern Half, stretching east to the coast and west to the Mississippi, is the pinnacle of post-apocalyptic civilization. There's several cities, all under the control of the Iron Empire, and people are beginning to get back to living instead of just surviving. The West, stretching to the Pacific in the west and the Rocky Mountains, is a vast, untamed wilderness. There's very few organized settlements and lots of natural resources. The land between these two areas, dubbed the Wastes, is a land of dangerous extremes. Searing deserts change into freezing tundras in an instant. The Wastes are populated by all sorts of unpleasant creatures and banditry. Our characters will be forced to work together after a dangerous encounter with some of the Wastes's less savory characters. Who are they? Why are they making the journey west? Let's find out!
