Prior to the annihilation of mankind, humanity was already a forgotten virtue. New discoveries gave way to the Age of Machines, an industrial widespread rejuvenation. Machines were constructed with components that operated like the human mind. They were at first designed to perform duties to make life simpler for the human kind. But man predictably exploited this intellect, using these resources in warfare for vengeance and greed. It was only a matter of time before global warfare transpired as nations across the globe were at risk of losing land or resources. The war among the humans lasted briefly, though, before a turn of events had rivals fighting alongside each other as the machines retaliated. The war had alternated from man against man to man against machine. Mankind's attempts to destroy their creations were futile, though. They had unmindfully given machines the capacity of the human race. In the end, mankind was lost and machinery prevailed. Salvation was a buried dream.
At least, that's what most of the world believed.
During the course of the war, a handful of scientists collaborated on a project that could possibly restore life- in a sense. Mankind was already lost to the perils of war. But the scientists speculated that they could be reborn in new forms through transferring their souls to ragdolls. As word spread of this experiment, several willing test subjects that supposedly foresaw their impending doom stepped forward and offered their lives for this endeavor. The scientists constructed small devices they simply called "Charms" to transmit a portion of a soul to a ragdoll, which are also called stitchpunks. A mere nine stitchpunks could be given a soul by an individual, as humans are imperfect creatures, and thus possess nine parts of a soul, rather than ten.
Humanity became extinct swiftly during the war. Cities crumpled, organic life died out. The earth could not sustain life of man or nature. Despite the absence of wildlife and mankind, though, the earth was not completely silent. Machinery still reigned, although this machinery was made from scraps and remains of the war, as most of the machinery constructed by man had been demolished. The war had taken a toll on both man and machine.
One machine constructed by man, however, remains in a city in England. This machine, often called "The Originator" by the stitchpunks, constructs mechanical creatures out of scraps continuously, having been programmed to create. The machines are not alone though. Concealed in the shadows, the stitchpunks dwell in the city as well, striving to survive in this brutal wasteland. They are small, inferior beings made of metal and cloth. But they harbor the last traces of mankind. And, despite having individual purposes, they all share a similar quality, even if they are unaware of it.
They seek to avenge their fallen. They seek to avenge mankind.

RULES
-Standard ROBLOX rules apply.
-Standard role-playing rules apply.
-You may play as a Machine, but you may certainly create your own Machines and use them as antagonists.
-You must be within the city limits or at least within reasonable distance of the city. Remember, stitchpunks are small; travel distance is longer for them.
-You may have as many characters as you'd like, and you may create more as you go.
-Please refer to the "Stitchpunk Information" thread as you create your CS. This thread will explain the features and attributes of a stitchpunk.
-I will alter/add rules as I see fit.
-This is basically a free-roam RP, but if you have any major plot ideas, please consult with me.
-I would greatly appreciate it if you included your character's name in each post.
-Keep in mind that, though a stitchpunk is basically a revitalized human, they have no knowledge of their past lives.

@Faulty- Well, within reason. Grammar is necessary, as is commence sense of course. And, have you read the Stitchpunk information thread on the front page? It explains in depth what stitchpunks are.
@Jona- If it's not a CS or anything relevant to the RP, I'd prefer that you didn't show me.) |

| Am I restricted to only two arms and one head for a character? Could I potentially make a franken-stickpunk character in which two are conjoined? |

(Not accepted. First, why do you have two different numbers as names? Second, your personality is not descriptive enough. And your appearance is not appropriate for this particular RP... although, I suppose that's a mistake on my part for not providing the link to the Stitchpunk Information thread in this thread.
So, here it is: STITCHPUNK INFORMATION LINK BELOW. USE FOR REFERENCE AS YOU CREATE A CHARACTER.
