Tenebris Landing: Steam Punk RP signups!

[BrookSkimmer]

The tournament has ended and now I can jump back into some regular RP's here! Read the story below before signing up!

Captain Rillan of the ship Tenebris scanned the horizon from the port railings. They had been sailing for the metropolis Dremmel for half a day. His crew worked steadily though most of them were sailing towards their own peril and possibly death. The Tenebris had been commissioned along with a fleet of four other sky ships to engage the forces of Faldren in battle.

Faldren was a black rhino out of nightmares. He had ravaged the lands for far too long. Captain Rillan was under the command of the Escopios to take back what had once been theirs. Dremmel was the final stand. If the city fell to Faldren all would be lost. Rillan, his crew, and all others who lived under the Escopio banner would die in fire and gun smoke from Faldren's troops.

Rillan's brow furrowed as he watched smoke spiraling from villages on the outskirts of Dremmel. Faldren's troops would be fast approaching. No doubt he would engage air strikes against the Tenebris and the other Escopios vessels. The fight would end on the ground, this Rillan knew. The course of action was to strike from the air and then make a final stand at the gates of Dremmel. For all Rillan knew the black rhino himself might well be leading the charge. Faldren had grown a lust for conquering in his veins and Dremmel was the final showdown so to speak.

The golden desert fox pressed off the rail and swiveled on his heels to face a lean wildcat that had come his way.

"Lieutenant Rigel,"

"Captain!" Came the curt response. "Enemy ships have come up on our radar. We must prepare for an air strike."

"Aye, rally the troops and give em' blood and gun power Lieutenant."

"Sah yes sah!"

The battle had begun.

Captain Rillan
40 years
Golden desert fox
Brief history: Grew up through the Escopio ranks to take the position of Captain of the Tenebris some ten seasons back. Was born and raised in a small village in the outskirts of Escopio territory. Made his way into the training school of air sailors from there.
Attitude: Though he has many deep feelings, Machdro Rillan tries to run his airship by the books. He thinks deeply and is slow to react unless quick reaction is called or. Beasts trust him and look to him as a leader.

Faldren
Black Rhino
55 years
Brief history: Grew up in the Tellentu clan to the south east of Escopio. As he grew up he began to brew a hatred for all things Escopio. They were destroying his homelands and taking what they wanted. As he grew Faldren rallied beasts to himself, vowing to take back what was theirs. This alliance turned into an enormous movement for freedom from Escopio rule.
Attitude: Faldren is hard, inside and out. He is unfeeling and uncaring towards any weaker than himself and his allies. He orders his troops to kill and destroy where ever they roam.
Description: Faldren is as Goliath. Huge, terrifying and thundering. He lead calmly for a number of years but now stands at the forefront of battle. He dresses in fatigues of grey and black. He carries a cross bow that shoots javelin sized arrows that deliver an electric shock upon contact. He also carries two large guns.

Appearance: Rage is black of fur, with a grey muzzle. He has a copy of the Drakaphase tattooed on his left arm. Muscular, fit, and average size. His two front lower teeth protrude out slightly, making him look fierce, along with his heavy eyebrows fixed in a frowning position. His eyes are a deep scarlet, adding to the fierceness.

Personality: Contrary to most of his kind, he is not overly cruel, and is there more for plunder and booty than for slaughter. Good navigator, and learned in the sky-sailing notions. He is rather lenient with his crew, conserving his power for desperate situations. He does not slay leisurely, preferring to keep his crew whole, so as to be ready for battle. He does not abide drink of any kind, preferring to drink water, tea and cordial.

History: Captain Rage Iden's family have been mercenaries for hundreds of years, and he carries on the family name with pride. Further history is quite darkened by mystery. The only thing known is that he came into Faldren's service through money.

[BrookSkimmer]

Ask me for a character... you know you want to

[Dag Downyfur]

I'll be Lt. Rigel.

[BrookSkimmer]

Ok, she's yours! Go ahead and put up the form here.

[Dag Downyfur]

Name: Lieutenant Rigel
Gender: female
Species: wildcat
Age: 25
Personality: intelligent, loyal, and cunning, Rigel is a good beast to have on your side during a battle. She is skilled with most kinds of guns and also with daggers.
Appearance:Rigel has golden fur with dark brown stripes and a scar on her back. She wears the usual uniform and gloves over her paws. She is short for her age.

Should I make another character?

[BrookSkimmer]

Ah yes, forgot that one

You can have up to two characters. One can be one of the pre-named ones that I wrote. The other needs to be from the crew or troops categories.

[Redwaller]

I think I'll have Captain Rage Iden for first character. And a crew beast of the Tenebris.

EDIT: What are the weapons available? And if someone could give me a quick summary of Steampunk, I'd be grateful.(I'm not really a Steampunk fan thing)

[Rusvul]

May I play Quartermaster Brigande Alquis? And, of course, a crewmember.

[Redwaller]

Since I don't know much about Steampunk, I'm at a loss for what they wear and arm themselves.

[W0NWILL]

Victorian clothing for wear, and they also wear big goggles and stuff. Just search Victorian clothing and Steampunk goggles.

Chief Gunner Yertup Hallowhip I shall play!

Also, a crew member of the Tenebris.

Name: Jale
Species: Hedgehog
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Job: Mechanic
Weapon:
Appearance: Jale is a short and stocky reddish-colored hedgehog with darker tips to his prickles. He has narrow teal eyes. He wears a black grease-stained apron, thick brown gloves, and classic Steampunk goggles.
Personality: Jale is a gentle beast, not that prone to fighting, and when he does, he just isn't very good. He's brilliant at his trade, and knows the Tenebris like no other. She's his Baby, and he does everything he can to keep her running smooth. He often speaks with the machines and likes to sleep belowdecks in the engine room. He's often seen as mad, with good reason. He's very laid-back and sees no reason to worry, 'Hakunamatata' is made for him.

Name: Yertup Hallowhip
Species: Hare
Gender: Male
Age: 40
Job: Gunner
Weapon: Two small revolvers of his own design, and a short whip
Appearance: Yertup's fur is a greyish color with flecks of white and black. He wears a gentleman-style blazer over a white shirt and black pants. He has a fine, military-style mustache and carries a cane.
Personality: Like his wear might suggest, Yertup is a formal beast, the type to introduce himself while fighting to the death. He is a throwback to the old Long Patrol hares, maybe a sergeant. He is stern, though abhors all sorts of rules except the ones of his own design. He is sometimes a bit of a dramatic, and would've made a great actor, if he hasn't decided to go sailing the skies.

[BrookSkimmer]

Redwaller:

I suggest typing "steam punk" into google and do a search and a image search of the same thing. Everything you need is there, just go take a look.

Rage is yours. You can fill out a form for him now.  Crew beast on the Tenebris as well.

rusvulthesaber   :

Brigande and a crew member are yours!

W0NWILL:

Yertup is yours! I shall post your description of Jale once it is complete.

I'll post the crew member tomorrow, as its late here and I'm typing from my phone.

[Redwaller]

So Steampunk is basically 19th Century Futurist Technology. Thanks! I'll fill in my form now that I know what to have.

One last question, are guns like flintlock pistols and such?

[Dag Downyfur]

I still need to make a crew member.
