(This roleplay is a simulation of what it would be like living in a Steam Punk time, There are no "Monsters" There are no "Villians" this is a game of life.) (There are still thugs and thieves, but no MAIN villians that are bent on doing some huge crime like in most roleplays)
Steam Punk: A mirror image of what modern day would be like if electricity never became popular, instead all machines were powered by steam (water changed to this form by boiling, extensively used for the generation of mechanical power, for heating purposes, etc.) thus changing the look and even the usefullnes of certain inventions. In the Steam Punk version of the world, most metals are copper (A gold like colour) because there was plenty of it and it was highly resistant to rusting from the water in the steam. The popular articles of clothing are usually a brown jacket and most people wear top hats. Pants are usually brown work pants but other articles of clothing like Jeans DO EXIST. Plot: The year is 2132 The invention of Steam Generators (Machines that evaporate water to use as fuel.) found in 1879 changed the world as we knew it. Humans live in the clouds in floating citys held up by fans blimps and steam. A scientist found a way to use the water in the air to create steam tripling the power of it. People travel by blimps, they tend to live pretty simple lives. The exploring of earth, now known as the "Danger Land" has been prohibited by the government. No human's have been recorded to have touched the ground in over 100 years. Most people live in one city, and never tend to leave it due to the fact that all cities are seperated and the only way back and forth from them is by blimp, but the only blimp that transports people comes once a year in the winter. Other blimps still come from other cities to deliver goods and such but riding on them is illegal and you will be arrested if caught doing so. Thieves sadly still exist and people are always being mugged, stores are always being robbed and houses always broken into.
Rules: No controlling other roleplayers characters No godmodding No perfect characters Anything I say goes If you read these then put "Steam Punk'ed" at the end of your Character sheet or you will not be accepted Its not in the rules isnt an excuse No swearing (a small bit I dont mind but you may get in trouble with roblox employees so watch what you say) No dating (I once again dont mind "relationships" But nothing too far) The most important rule of them all is, Have fun and enjoy.
Laws (These arent rules, you can do them but if caught you will be arrested by the cp (Civil Protection) So be careful): No stealing or breaking in to homes No murder No mugging No begging for food or money No trespassing No riding in Blimps that transport goods.
Towns/Cities (They are all seperate and are in the sky so to go between them you must find a way such as the blimp that comes in the winter or by illegaly riding in a Trade Blimp): Crystalta, The main city (Nobody is allowed to start here, it is the home of the government and the extremely rich) Burning Springs, A large city but the folk are much nicer then those of Crystalta. Leyden, A small town, nothing of any historic value has ever happened here. Treftal, A town full of beggars and homeless families, The main jail is held here and if you do a serious crime you will be taken here, if you do a small crime you will most likely be locked up in the jail of the city you live in.
Character sheet: First Name: Last Name: Gen.der: A..g..e: Weapon (Nothing more then a dagger/knife): Background/Bio(At least include a small one): City(See list above): Job(Must be over 17 to have a job, jobs include Civil Protection(police) Paper boy( 12+ for paper boy/girl) Market salesmen, butcher, thief etc.etc.: Clothes(The pair you wear when you start, you can change, Clothes mainly are brown and beige): Looks(Hair, skin colour, eyes, build(Weak Medium or strong) Weight (Scrawny, medium or heavy): Personality: Parents(If you have any): Siblings(Can be other characters, get there permission first): |

(Ty. Are you still attempting to read Riding with the Wind?)
Daren was having a bad day at the market. She didn't seem to be able to sell anything. Nor could Thyme, as she saw. |

Rain: I stand on the roof of the bakery, the smoke and steam from the oven lifts out the chimney into my face bringing along the sweet smell of bread with it, I feel a strong wind against my back and I turn around to see a blimp passing by the rooftop, a ladder swoops down and Officer James hops down and shakes his head when he realizes it's me. "Rain you're trespassin again." "Sorry I was just relaxing up here." "Relax on your own roof next time Rain, Im sorry but I have to bring you into the station this time, I have given you plenty of warnings before" The blimp starts to float off into the distance as he walks towards me and reaches for my arm. "Sorry James but I have a package to deliver" I say as I sling the bag containing the box over my shoulder and run to the edge of the roof diving off and grabbing hold of the ledge to the clocktower in central square. He chases after me and grabs the ledge as I sidle along it. A burst of steam blasts infront of my face as the clock strikes 12, I duck under it and push off grabbing hold of a passing transit blimp. I let go and land on a roof and jump down in an alleyway I see James jump onto a roof and give up the chase. |

| Hallie ran across the uneven earth quickly, the small sack of bread clenched tightly in her fist, she leaped over a log narrowly missing it with her foot. A smile was on her face. Ah, the thrill of the chase. But she was the chased in this situation which made it all the more interesting. She rockets into the dense woods up on the cloud that was labeled her home. It wasnt though. Humans came from earth so Hallie believed that was truly her home no matter how hopeless it was to pray to get to it one day. Her father would be proud of her, she was certain that if he saw how well she held up for ten years without him he would praise her. She didnt blame him for leaving her alone. He was just trying to discover what was once lost. Earth. Her mother however, she did blame. For all she knew her mother was rubbing elbows with the government and living it up while her daughter was starving to death. Despite her anger Hallie didnt care. She springs at a tree and starts the brutal climb to the top, splinters digging into her tough fingers, she was used to it however and the sting hurt less and less each time. She got to a brach high enough, sheilded by the protective leaves of the tree and held her breath, waiting for the CV to pass her by. After a few trips stumbles and shouts the vlumsy yet effective CV team rambles on by and Hallie gently lowers herself to the ground, examining her bleeding hands and pulling the splinters out while chewing absentmindedly on a peice of bread. |

(I have it in another tab but I am doing multiple things so its hard to read it but im attempting)
I turn around to see the neighbourhood Thugs standing infront of me, there leader Checkers stands infront of me smacking his baseball bat in his hand. "Give me you're Money!" He says slamming his bat against my side knocking me to the ground. "I dont have any Check" I say rubbing my lung. "I said, GIVE US YOUR MONEY" He swings his bat at me, I grab it with my right arm and pull it out of his grasp and slam him in the nose with the handle. I toss the bat aside as his two group members come at me with there daggers. The one swings and I block it with my right arm, the skin peels back and I push back knocking him to his back. I turn and slam my fist into the other ones face and start darting to the market. |

(Its CP, not that it really matters. Civil Protection is what it stands for, just so you know.) I dart through the market area and up a hill, the thugs chasing me. I see the forest that hugs the edge of the town and make a beeline for it jumping over a broken log. I hear the footsteps of the thugs echo behind me and I push through the trees. I look behind me and see the thugs still chasing. I start to turn back around when I slam into somone sending us both to the ground, I look over and see a girl sitting in the dirt, a half eaten loaf of bread lay on the ground beside her. |

| Hallie eventually finished with her bag of bread and headed to the market, her hands were now wrapped in the hem of her tunic, cradling it like a baby. It stung, badly. She didnt think about the aftermath when she decided to climb up that tree. She winced as she plucked yet another slinter out of the cuts. She sits on a bench outside of the market and continues to work at the persistant splinters wedged in her palm. |

(Oops, sorry, forget my last post.) I dart through the market place and turn into another alleyway, I lost the thugs. My feet sore and back aching but I still must deliver the package. I turn back around and head to the market place and look around for Rickshaw's Stall |

Daren looked around. The market was getting busy, but she was merely one seller among all the thousands and they probably had much better to sell than she and Thyme. A few buyers, it was true, but not enough for the money they needed. Some material here, some food there.. well at least they could eat the food they didn't sell. Thyme hired herself out to other sellers, but she was not faring much better than Daren. It seemed there were many others to be hired and no one seemed to need Thyme's services at all. At last someone agreed to hire her for the day, and to pay her decently. But Daren still hadn't sold much. |

(true) Hallie rubed her now splinter-free palm, instantly regretting it as the fire returned and the cuts bled even more. She sighs, annoyed, and wraps it back in the cloth bag that used to hold the bread. She anxiously watches for CP's, although she highly doubted they say her face. She sighs again, this time out of boredom. She takes in the bright blue sky with puffy white clouds floating across the horizon. We were on a cloud so they just looked like mountains of white ice cream. She faintly hears the whistle of steam out of the old clock tower in the center of the town signaling the changing of the hour. She leans back and waits. Sometimes she found that trouble would always find her. No matter where she was. |

(By the way its almost the end of summer) I walk up to Rickshaws stall and pull the large grey box from my bag and set it down. "Delivery" I say as I ring the bell. "From who?" "Im not sure, there wasn't a name, just said that you would pay me" I respond as I lift my hat up and rub my hair. "Hmm" He mumbles some words then opens the box, his eyes widen and he reaches under his desk lifting up 100 dollars. "Wow" I say as he tosses it in my direction, I grab it and slip it in my pocket. I take a quick peek at the box but all I see is some copper. I walk away to the fence around the city that stops people from jumping and I stare out into the clouds, I can see the edge of Layden peeking out. "I wish I could visit some other cities" I sigh |
