I will admit that it almost had me but the steampunk part turned me away.
"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."

Might be something different talked about here, but normally ley lines mean some sort of straight lines that hold some sort of magic or mana. They go all over the world, and where two or more meet strong magical points are formed. Usually magical or holy structures are built at these points. I don't know how much of this actually applies to the RP though.
Here are a few links for more info:

I figured it had something to do with ancient landmarks (as described on Wikipedia) but I had no clue. That said, that was FAR from my real question.
I still need to know what the Lian are.

Smash through the blocks that bar your way; No time for fear, just let it all fall away; Nobody believes in me and you, Just look at the way they stare; So what if we live in a walled garden, As long as I've got you then I don't care!

Yeah, just answering the part that I had a good idea of being correct. When it comes to the Lian, I don't know too much. I guess when he say fey people he refers to fairy people. It would also make a lot of sense because he mentioned ley lines. (see fairy paths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_path). My guess is that they are typical fairies, but Alayo also mentioned them being a bit smaller. Maybe the Lian just covers all fairy people?

Fae? I'm sold. Depending on what Alayo provides, I'm so totally making a Lian.

Are there any other smaller nations around?
Townships that aren't part of the larger empires, or being consumed by them (Diplomatically, of course!!!) don't have docks. They exist, but wont provide much aside from suspicion to adventuring types. People from there are either totally alienated by the bigger empires or are eager to join them and take to the skies!
Quick Referance of the Nations before I am able to give them a proper bio:
Gandiva is completely populated. An island continent and each town is almost a fortress. Anyone living on that Continent Gandiva is Gandivan(nationality, not race, per se). There's lots of water and cliffs, so most towns are on a sky map. Gandivans developed airships to travel their difficult terrain.
The Imperial Lands have lots of little townships, most sworn in to the Imperial Conclave before the war, but scattered after the Conclave got screwed. You'll find a town or two far out there that is firecely loyal to the Imperial Conclave and are like rebels. Pirates. Yay! Imperial lands are a lot like the core of major conturies in our world. Nice, flat, easy to settle with a few workable mountains and such. Bland. Boring. Human, but much more livable than anywhere else. Most Imperial cities are conected by road.
Lian lands are vast, expansive, and ancient. Lian communities just...pop up out of nowhere all the time. They're sort of used to it. After the Tyrant apocolypse, Lian are extreamly happy to find other populated Lian Communites. More often than not, exploration parties will only find ghost towns full of skeletons. Forests. Mountains, Jungles. Foresty-mountainous-jungles. Green Green Green omg cant navigate sh**. Leylines and their intersecting points are the roads and spots cities are at in Lian territory.
@TRXD
Lian = Elf that looks exactly like a human, but shorter. Even next to a short human, you just feel that they are Lian. There's no mistaking a Lian for a Human because of the way the magic and stuff affects the mind.

I gazed up at the sable-haired maiden with eyes so full of warmth it appeared she was crying silently. My trecherous mouth opened, "Why do you look so troubled, Princess?"
Slowly, she moved her eyes from the moon to me. She studied my imperfections before her for what seemed to be a blissful eternity before gracing me with her voice, "I've slain this land's only prince. What use, now, is a princess?"
As the maiden left my presence, so too did my heart.

Ninja Master!
@Cucoo5
It needs to be able to fly. All the junk and stuff would weigh it down like an Armor class, and thus you'd be slow. You also got some number problems in there. You got both your Propulsion and your Hover at 3, and your Engine is at 3 as well. The Engine is the Combined totaly of your Energy Consumtion, minus 1. So 3+3-1 = 5.
Also, Your ship size of 2 needs to be able to support the things you have on it. Each gun counts as a "Slot" that takes up space. I assume the "Modified" ship means with all the junk. While that increases size, it has a big impact on what goes where.

@ Alayo
The slow part is kinda what I'm aiming for. Basic premise is that it's a really good imperial ship buried underneath an absolute derp-ton of junk turning into a how-is-this-thing-even-flying kinda ship.
And yeah, figured the stats were going to be off. The tricky part is the fact I'm trying to make essentially two ships in one (the base being the Imperial ship, obviously). One thing I just thought of that would make the engine number work is having a bunch of little engines scattered throughout the ship that feed into the main power line in a way that would make this a mechanics nightmare.
Though now I'm trying to figure out what you're intending for the "slots"? The way I'm looking at this is more based on the pictures I was using, as well as the fact that all the junk strapped onto the imperial ship creates more points for weapons to attach to akin to the way hardpoints work. The story behind the weapons and the ship which I'll be getting to is that Cicero (and I'm going to be giving him twin brothers) is a scavenger collecting the scraps of abandoned/ destroyed ships. He and his brothers inherited the Imperial ship but they didn't have the money to really do anything with it except be bottom feeders. And thus the Mighty Derp is born.
I'm not certain what I'm babbling on about right now but I think its to explain what I was thinking but I'm not quite sure.

Size of Ship determines how many "things"(slots) a ship can have. A Flak Cannon is a Thing that takes up a Slot. An Engine takes up a slot. Your pistol does not. The Junk can be counted as Armor, and thus does not.
Edit: Also, You'll need a damn-good engine(To power propulsion and hover)eventually to make the thing move. Keep Cost in mind. Collecting Junk is easy. Making it move is not. Thats why Junk is in Junkyards, not Junk Trucks.
A more logical choice would to be a scrapyard dude, who has a Class 2 or 3 Ship (Maybe uses the company's ship for offical stuff?) but only keeps enough "Things" on it to fill a Class 1 ship, cuz the rest is for the JUUUUUUUUNK

Ok I updated my app with the ship stats and crew members who have asked to be a part of the ship thus far. Added a name for the ship, changed around some parts of Karliah's app (role on the ship, class and sub class) and fixed a few grammar mistakes. I may end up changing some of it depending on ow things go.
