(Gasp! A non-Elements RP?)

The year is 9 FE(Flightless Era). The capitol of my home country, Araceli, has fallen from the Skybane War. A war on flight, on control over the sky, on the one place we all felt finally free from any sort of tyranny and could live in peace. Araceli was a country known for its superior aeronautical technology. Because of it, it was often thought of as the heart of the sky, despite being a land country. Araceli ruled the skies, and there was rarely ever any trouble. They ruled openly and peacefully, letting all partake in the free sky that rested above us all. That was, until 9 years ago...

Tarrania, once a place as peaceful as Araceli, though it lacked it's skyward expertise, was a strong country. Although militaristic, it never tried to expand it's border in a violent way. But Tarrania had gained a new leader, and she was a dreafully tyranical woman. Smart, beautiful, cunning, and now one of the most powerful people in the world. With Tarrania under her control, she began to use its superior military. Starting small, she conquered the surrounding countries, but quickly escalated to around the world. Spies, assassins, it seemed like she had people everywhere. Everywhere but in the sky. She was envious of one element in this world she could not tame, and set her sights on doing just that. Within the first year war had been declared and in several countries that did not wish to fight, all air control was handed over to Tarrania as apart of a surrender agreement.

Slowly, Tarrania began to amass large armies, not only on the ground, but in the sky now. Despite the advantages Araceli had, it couldn't match up to the sheer quantity Tarrania now had. It took 8 long years after the start of the war before Araceli finally fell. Tarrania had done it. As every supervillain in every book I read growing up, Tarrania had indeed taken over the world.

No one can rule the world completely. There will always be patches that rise up, rebels that ban together, enough to be heard, but never enough to make an impact. You see, this is where I come in. It is almost impossible to fly the skies annymore. But I've found a way. My name is Ava, and I'm the lone successor, true princess, of Araceli.

When the ground capitol was seized, I was currently on our skybase working on the lastest modifictations to my airship. I found a way to perfectly disguise a ship of almost any size from any source of detection, well, aside from visual detection. But I'm working on that. Being the Princess of Araceli, I grew up in the sky. Learning about what makes an airship fly. Why an airbus stays aloft despite the tremendous weight of so many people on board. I learned the ins and outs of every piece of almost every model ship we had.

When I learned that Araceli had fallen, I escaped on my airship. I knew I would be the one with the biggest bounty on my head, so i took my small crew and left. Now I travel around this forcefully seize world, looking for those who will rise up with me and take this world back.

--------------

A little about this world:

The world in Airheart is a combination of a few decades old modern society combined with a fantasmical steampunk theme. Weapons are what you'd expect, gun, swords, tanks are beginning to be mass produced now. Just most everything has a steampunk twist on it. Lasers don't exist, beam swords don't either nor do similar things like that. Any questions, just ask.

-------------

Profiles:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Nationality: (I know there is only Araceli and Tarrania listed, but feel free to improvise any nationality you want. Just don't get too wild)
Side: (For or against the rebels trying to take back the world)
Appearance:
Biography/Background:
Other: (Anything that might be important to your character that doesn't fit into the other sections)

-----------------

Name: Ava Araceli
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Nationality: Aracelian
Side: For Rebels
Appearance: Ava has medium length light brown hair, going just past her shoulders. Flying so often, she usually keeps it pulled back into a messy french braid. Always donning a pair of aviator goggles on her forehead, the rest of her usual outfits never seem to match. Often she wears very casual dresses with a pair of plain pants or shorts underneath. She stands slightly taller than the average female height of Aracelians at 5 feet 6 inches(1.6 meters). Her build is slender, but anyone can easily see that her arms are more toned and worked than a normal girl of her age. Naturally long eyelashes accent her light brown, nearly golden, eyes.
Biography: Daughter of Wallace and June Araceli, Princess of Araceli, was raised in a very unconventional manner that one would typically expect for a princess. Ava spent most of her time either in the air, or at the various hangars located around Araceli. Once Araceli got their Skybase operational, it was rare to ever see her on the ground. She spent most of her days reading, learning, anything and everything she could about aeronautics. It wasn't long until she became one of the most sought after pilots in Araceli, but she never flew anything but her own. Narice, her beloved airship that she took many years to build, is the only ship she pilots seriously. That being said, Narice is usually the ship that ends up testing any new system or parts before they become widely manufactured.

Strong and high spirited, Ava almost seems to take nothing but piloting seriously. Although her concerns, worries, and problems run deep, there is rarely a time when she isn't smiling at a stranger on the street. Even when the Skybane War came to Araceli, you'd think Ava was completely unaware with how she acted. She was safe on the Skybase when the Araceli capitol fell and quickly fled with a small tight knit crew.

Name: Claire Valencia
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Nationality: Tarranian
Side: Against the rebels, Leader of Tarranian army, Ruler of the World.
Appearance: Ones idea of Claire, and how she really looks couldn't be more separate. Her beauty is rather stunning. Long flowing hair, down to her lower back, that looks like the beautiful blue of the sky had fallen upon her. Her eyes were stunning yet intimidating. They beckoned you in and forbid you from looking away. But that wasn't hard as you'd find yourself transfixed on her emerald eyes with waves of deep blue and flecks of gold. She had a near perfect hourglass figured, and her wardrobe only accented it. Tight long skirts, button-up blouses that hugged her every curve. Standing a tall 5 foot 10 inches(1.7 meters), she seemed like that last person to ever be a tyrannical ruler.

Claire is a prideful, strong, and egotistical woman. She believes there is nothing she can't do, and will go as far as she has to in order to prove that to everyone. People are pawns and, with help of her beauty, easily manipulated into doing whatever she wished.
Biography/Background: Not much is known about Claire's past. Her parents are no where in sight, nor have they ever been. Most assume she was either a child abandoned and raised herself, or hopped from one family to the next through adoption agencies. Around 15 years ago is when she made herself truly known, working her way up through the ranks of Tarrania's political system. 6 years later, she became the leader of Tarranian. 9 years after that, the ruler of the world.

(Why can't this be an elements rpg? People can chose to play as one of the sentient elements races (nymphs, gnome rider, mummy, mind flayer, falled druid/elf, graviton mercenary, hematite golem, iridium warden, etc.) (heh heh heh. talking in parenthesis when out of character-rpg pro.))

Name: Wi

Age: 19

Appearance: Tall, 6ft, he has slightly rounded features and curly dark brown hair. Generally wears a green t-shirt and shorts, even in the coldest of weather. He has tanned latino features and is slightly chubby, but has large amounts of muscle underneath

Side: Rebels

Nationality: Sky Nomads, Alpha Blimp (more on this below.)

before I continue, here is some information about the Sky Nomads:

"The Sky Nomads were among the first to discover flight. Before the takeover of Araceli, the Sky Nomads were renowned merchants who traveled across the known world, selling their wares to help finance their true motives. The sky nomads can be separated into three major divisions, each division living in their own 'super-blimp,' gigantic blimps that could hold upwards of three thousand people. The blimps are Alpha Blimp, a blue (when unshielded) blimp that was populated by the bulk of the Sky Nomad's geneticists and biologists, Beta Blimp, a green (when unshielded) blimp that contains the majority of the Sky Nomad's physicists, and Omega Blimp, a black (when unshielded) blimp that carried the majority of the Sky Nomad's machine and weapon specialists. After Tarrania began its world takeover, the sky nomads 'packed up ship,' and retreated to the upper atmosphere, activating the elaborate shielding mechanisms found on each blimp to avoid notice. The sky nomads do not wish to involve themselves directly in the war, but would provide weapons to a sufficiently developed rebel group."

Backstory: Wi was among the first generation of children on Alpha Blimp to be born genetically modified. Unlike the other children, he did not develop his less-than-human beings directly after birth, and was teased by the other children, who could see better, climb better, jump higher, and run faster, so he instead developed his intellect, deepening his knowledge of physics, mechanics, and biotechnology. Finally, near his 17th birthday, he began developing wings, air sacs, and feathers, as well as having his bones become hollow. However, he felt no need to share this with other people, many of whom had tormented him. Finally, on his 19th birthday, he "abandoned ship," and left the Sky Nomads to help rebel movements.

Other: Has a wingspan of 17 feet with wings fully extended. Carries small, mechanical parts with him at all times, along with tools and a veritable arsenal of explosives. Also carries a glider for when he needs to get around in cities, because he tries to hide his wings.

Personality:Acts wary around strangers but boisterous near friends. Has a dark sense of humor, but enjoys bawdy jokes as well. Does not like being contradicted, and will generally make a scathing comeback, if possible, and if not, holds a grudge until he gets them back.

The last role-play that I joined has no posts after my initial sign-up.  I'll try to carry over my character from the last thread into this one.

Name: MildlyFrightenedBoy
(I am OK with going by MFB, but so much with not Mild or Boy.  Stick with MFB or my real... fake... full name.)
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Nationality: Other (see bio)
Side: Neutral Mercenary
Appearance: No one is completely sure what MildlyFrightenedBoy looks like.  This is because he is never seen.  MildlyFrightenedBoy doesn't fight in large crowds or use flashy maneuvers to slay his opponents.  He simply picks them off as quickly as possible when they don't suspect a thing.  There is only one person who has ever evaded MildlyFrightenedBoy, and they are dead now, but all they ever told anyone of the incident was spotting the flash of a black suit darting past a corner and the glint of a silver knife reflecting the light from the window.
MildlyFrightenedBoy Image
Julia Image
Biography/Background: I come from an unnamed, resolute island in the ocean.  The island only had six inhabitants: my mother, my father, a close friend of my parents, my older brother Alex, my younger sister Julia, and myself.  The nearest land is the coast of a much larger island known as Ourania.  Since the age of five, I practiced the art of assassination there under my father, who was a skilled weapon smith, and my mother, a graceful assassin herself.  My brother trained crafting weapons out of metals that washed ashore, and his sister was an assassin like I was.  In my youth, I trained day and night, practicing sneaking up on large beasts that roamed the island and killing them for food, along with crafting makeshift weapons from loose sticks and twigs with my sister.  I could never practice my trade until the time was right, my father always told me.  I felt that my skills were being restricted from me on the tiny island in the middle of nowhere.  At the age of fifteen, I grew restless with constantly honing my tremendous skills for nothing and decided to leave the nest.  I wouldn't just disappear overnight; I would go out with a blaze.
When the sun went down and everyone went to sleep, I put my skills to work.  I left no survivors except my sister, a skilled cartographer, who I decided would be a key component of my plans.  Julia complained that, had I not killed them before telling her, she could have helped.  We felt like captives stranded on that island.  Our brother was the shining glory in our parents' eyes, even though he was too nonathletic to sneak up on a boulder, much less another person, so he stayed in the makeshift forge with our father.  The two of us used an old bed as a raft to swim to the shore of Ourania, where we found a man that they could purchase a helicopter from.
We killed him and stole the helicopter, flying to Tarrania to find work.  It seemed that the easiest place for two mercenaries to get simple work would be in the winning side of a war.
When we arrived at the first port in Tarrania, we found ourselves in an absolute slum.  We were immediately approached by two thugs demanding money who held us at gunpoint.  I shrugged and gestured toward my sister, who pulled two small darts from her back pocket and threw them with incomparable speed, piercing through the eyes of the two criminals, killing them on the spot.  When they hit the ground, she stepped forward and retrieved her weapons of choice from the corpses, cleaning off the blood on one of their shirts.
"I don't think we are just going to get an application handed to us that easily," I said to my sister.  "We might have to keep looking for a better client."
"And a more difficult target," my sister replied with a grin.
Other: Because of the nature of my character in that I do not have a specific side (at the time), I am currently a mercenary for hire.  If you wish to hire me to eliminate an NPC, in which there are currently none, contact me with a PM.  If you want me to eliminate a player, also contact me with a PM, but, if the mission is a success, the target will be given the identity of the client.
However, this could change at any moment.  I don't have a side at the time, but will probably pick one at some point in the future, depending on where I can find work.
This thing seemed dead inside. It seemed like an automaton, trying to act like as if it was alive. The effect was unsettling.
Orianna made a sound that supposed to a girl's squeal of glee and hugged The Ball. While it might have been touching, it was unfortunately only horrifying.

two things, one, will this be a steampunk-esqe rpg? and two, I would recommend renaming this topic "Airheart signup" and as soon as you get enough characters, make a new topic called "Airhear RPG" to reduce clutter.

Yes, steampunk.

I might. I RP a bit differently than what I've seen done here. Couldn't hurt.

However many really. Doesn't matter to me as long as there are a few. I tend to fill in characters as needed.

Also, updated first and second posts.

Perhaps you could post a paragraph or so explaining how you want this rp to work? I'm guessing it's a pure "cooperative storytelling" type of game, but different people have different expectations so a summary of what this will look like in progress would be helpful.

I vote that we just start rping now, and if more people want to join we just ease them into the story later.
