Name: Lia Myura

-Race: Human
Age-Appearance: 30

Class / Sub Class: Navigator (Probably a conductor too)
Role on Ship: Adventurer, mercenary, inventor
Nationality: Outer ports of Gandiva
Background: Born in a port city where new inventions was a common thing along with traders and exotic things, a younger Lia was always marveled to see such things, she always enjoyed what people could do with their intelligence and hard work as she always looked at her left arm and her eye in the mirror, works from a old and kind inventor who was her neighbor. Lia´s parents on the other hand were always busy in their jobs leaving the redhead with the old inventor. As she grew up, the redhead helped in whatever was needed in the city as a courier or assistant in an invention, but her favorite place was with the old inventor who updated her eye and arm to keep up with her biological body.

One day though, the old man needed to go to a far away part of the world to work on a big project, he never said a word about such project to his assistant, yet he gave her a book. The book had notes and writings about hundredths of places and Lia discovered that the old man was a retired adventurer who wanted to go on a last adventure. He told the twenty two years old girl to prepare for her own adventure as he got on a zeppelin and left.

During her adventures, the red haired woman had her fair share of situations where she needed to use her wits to outsmart traders and guards, and then came her skills with weaponry and machinery as she survived firefights with pirates and some law bringers who felt they had the power to control the people.

Yet there were times where things would go sour and Lia would be in problems, and there was this memory of hers that always made her laugh. It was a relatively small group of pirates who she had been following, they had some important maps that were of great use for her current job, it took her quite the effort to even find the camp, but luck wasn´t in her side as she was captured by them as she managed to obtain the maps.

This wasn´t the first time that Lia was captured, she just needed to wait for a good time to knock out the usual dumb lackey who was on the bottom of hierarchy, but someone beat her to it, it was a girl who in the future would be a great friend of hers.

They managed to obtain the small ship and throw the idiots out of it, the girl seemed to be like a soldier, but lacked the stiffness that most of the empire toy soldiers. Fortunately for the brunette, Lia knew how to pilot the vessel. They knew they would have a hard time, but with a smirk, the inventor took off her boots and showed the maps

That would be their first job together to one of the many adventures that Karliah and Lia would have.

Skill: Lia is good at moving due to her life as an adventurer, she can move with the grace of a cat, but can give a punch like a gorilla, in terms of melee fighting she has great abilities to protect herself and give a good knock out on her enemies. On the other side, weaponry is something she is like an ace, give her a gun and she will hit anything thanks to her mechanical eye that gives her better aiming on whichever gun. Another skill is to be a fast leaner in case of working on an unknown machine, if she is given instructions about something, she will understand in a quick time.

Guns: Obviously living as an adventurer had to have dangers, so Lia came prepared for the oncoming threats with reliable weaponry such as:

A sniper rifle with two types of ammo, the first one is of sniper type bullets having five of them per magazine, the second type is an explosive grenade bullet that has to be reloaded for each shot, this guy is called the Two-way Rifle and it is ready to blow heads off

There is always a time when bullets run out, so here we got a blade that thirsts for blood, don´t be fooled by its old and battered state, this old sword can still cut skin as butter and withstand powerful blows. The gear blade is ready to cut once more

Last but not least, this baby is used when things get serious and we need to blast our way off. A six cylinder grenade launcher that has varied types of ammo, from corrosive to explosive, from small cannonballs to even the gas bullets. The Carrousel is coming with a surprise in each grenade

So far all the character apps look good. Remember that the only real heavy "Abilities" and "gear" section is on the ships, and that's just so I can personally keep track of, and limit their power. Thats not to say we wont be shooting at other people with our GansGansGans, but a ship Cannon beats a personal weapon any day (Unless its a magic cannon and you dont have a conductor to fire it...then its useless)

This looks interesting, might join. One question though. What are the magic codes that your briefly went over? Do you NEED them? Are they something physical? Can they be stolen or used by other people? and so on.

Magic Codes are your Ship's Charter to fly.
With these "Magical Codes" your ship is not cleared for take-off, and will not be cleared to land at docks.

Its a "Magical Code" like a string of commands in programming that tells someone where the ship is and isn't allowed to land/launch from. It is both a Physical piece of Paper and the person holding that paper. The Person is the Charter Holder, and is the actual important part. The paper is just the physical copy. Updating the Charter section now!

@Katrix. From what i've seen so ffar i think the rp is more based off of ship vs ship rather than character vs character. hens why all he racial buffs/debuffs directly effect ones ability to fly or fight with said ship. That's not to say there can't be any combat off ship where maybe two crews have docked, both after the same goal, but it's not the main focus of the roleplay. feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

Character Vs. character is totally allowed. Just when a lot of people are in the air, its hard to actually vs. a character and not their boat. On the ground, however? Who knows!

As for stealing Charters, thats difficult. Sure, if you stole someone's charter, either the person or their paper copy, you could technically steal their ship, too. Unfortunately the decoding process is handled by the Dockmasters, so grabbing someone's charter wont tell you what ship is registered to it. You dont wanna be the guy that tries to take off a ship with a charter made for the ship across the pier.

Name: Kathryn

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Age: 16

Appearance:

Class / Sub Class: Thief, pirate?

Role on Ship: Conducter?

Nationality: Imperial?

Background:

Kathryn grew up in a small and poor town where everyone had to fend for themselves. This naturally had a big effect on Kathryn, as the years went on she became an excellent thief, capable of unlocking locks, evading traps, hide away, stealing from nearly anyone, and that sort of stuff. As Kathryn grew older she learned even more stuff like for example fighting in close quarters. In fights like this Kathryn was used small needles that she would throw or stick in crucial spots like arteries on the person she was fighting.

One day however she managed to get into a situation where she didn't have any needles handy, and fleeing was hard. She fought as hard as she could, but is just wasn't enough. Suddenly when she touched one of her opponents with her hand she felt a new type of power flowing through her. Her hand quickly heated up, leaving a nasty burn mark on her opponent, while leaving her just fine. She had no idea what happened here, but decided to make to most of it, gaining enough of an edge on the opponent to be able to flee.

After that, Kathryn tried to make sense of what she had done, and after some time she understood that she had used magic. While she had heard a lot about magic from traders, magic wasn't really anything common where she lived. This just made her more exited. Kathryn decided that she would make the best use of it as possible, but she still needed a way to train. Sure she could try to train herself, but it would be much easier if she had a teacher of some sort. While it wasn't the best, Kathryn decided that she would take conducting lessons from the small airport that the city had. It was far away from the type of magic she wanted to use, but at least she learned more about it.

After a few years taking conducting lessons, Kathryn felt that she was ready to take on something new. She wanted to get out there, and not just be stuck in the stinking town that she lived in. So what did she do, what she always did if she wanted something. She took it. One night when everything pointed to a successful plan, Kathryn did what she had wanted to do for so long. A small trading ship had docked in the airport. The owners was in the tavern drinking away, and the guard seemed to be taking a little nap. First of she broke into the room the traders were staying in and stole the paper copy of the charter. Kathryn had never really understood what it was, she just knew that it was important. Next she made her way to the actual ship. Luckily she didn't have the guess which one it was as the airport only had space for one ship. She quickly went on board and made sure everything was in order. Once everything was clear, she started the ship and took off.

Once Kathryn had flown for a few hours and made sure that no one had followed her, she landed the ship in a place which seemed suitable and easy to hide. She probably looked like some drunk captain while flying the ship as she was only one person, so it was important to stay low. While on the ground, Kathryn searched the ship to find out what else aside from the ship she had actually stolen. She found some nice clothes, and some other handy stuff that she kept for herself. The other stuff she could sell.

Magic:

NOT DONE!!!

@Alayo

Are there any other smaller nations around?

Before I start developing and working on my characters, I have to ask one thing.
What on earth are the Lian? Of all the races you described, I still have no clue what to think of Lians. They're short, seemingly magical, use leylines to navigate? (you're gonna have to expand upon that point because idk what that means), and can transform into the demonic Tyrants. But that all I can get from their description. What exactly are they? Are they like halflings? Elves? Or are they their own unique and 110% original race? I can't consider making one of my characters one if I know nothing about them. What are they?
I need to know Alayo. You're textually cock-blocking me. I can't sleep knowing that there are holes in my knowledge!

Name: Cecilia Rainheart
Gender :Female
Race: Human
Age-Appearance: 27

Class / Sub Class: Engineer
Role on Ship: Ship´s engine master
Nationality: Gandivan

Background: Born around the ships of the main cities of Gandivan, Cecilia saw ships every day, but much to her bad luck, the blonde red eyed woman´s only interaction with them was to drive the ships with her family. Being from on of the wealthy families of Gandiva made Cecilia being trapped inside the Rainheart private properties.

As a child, Cecilia went through all those classes of etiquette, dancing, piano (ugh..) and all the political crap that the world was having, yet there was something that always brightened her mood. Her father´s workshop.

Her father was an aristocrat and had noble blood, but also was someone who had hobbies and one of them was building ships and engines. He was delighted that his daughter shared something with him because he knew that the life of politics was a drag for Cecilia. So he tried to show her everything he could of ships.

Time passed, Cecilia kept working on the workshop and endure the aristocrat life, her fellow students knew she had odd quirks and the talk about a noble girl working on machinery was scandalous, to the point of reaching the Rainheart matriarch, Cecilia´s grandmother. The countess was fuming at her son who was teaching such trash to the blonde girl and decided to send her to a private school, hoping she would get back to the "correct" way of life.

Cecilia knew that would be pretty much hell and had the idea of escaping, sure she would probably be disowned of the family, and disrespected among the noble houses, but she prefered to make her own life. There were still a couple of days for the crimson eyed woman to be sent to the private school as she was ready to leave to whatever place away from the city, she had stashed her savings and knew how to get jobs thanks to her experience in the machinery. Just as she was about to leave, her father came to her and simply smiled knowing her intentions, the heir to the head of the family handed her some supplies and gave her a proper goodbye.

The first few years were rough for the blonde, many declined her offer to work and the few who accepted were only temporary, but then a big job appeared, in the form of one of the big trader ships, the engine had a massive failure and nobody managed to find the error, so they were accepting anyone if they managed to fix the problem.

So there she was, inside the engine´s machinery, stuck with so many problems that there wasn´t one damaged thing, but the whole thing was the error. It took her a week to replace the damaged equipment. But soon the ship was back online. Thanks to this job made her famous, job request came to her on the bulk, but also came with problems.

Other engineers knew about the crimson eyed wonder and preferred her out of the competition, so Cecilia needed to be on the move, and it was on one night that she met two travelers on a bar who needed a crew, the payment was small, but they didn´t care much about her history, only that she would be effective, honest and enjoy the work.

And with that, Cecilia Rainheart became the engineer of a crew that would last for a long time.

Question: Could I make a complete clusterfuck of an airship that is technically an Imperial ship but is really a floating scrapyard of junk metal that makes it look like an ugly Gandivan ship? I'm thinking extremely quirky in its flight characteristics having componets ill-fitted to keep the ship floating yet somehow it manages to make it from point A to point B 90% intact.

I'll draft an app even though I'm not certain what I'm doing right now. I'll come back later to finish it.
Sooo....Stand back, I'm derping really hard right now.
