So I decided to bring this back. Yes, this includes steampunk, and I only ask of you steampunk fans to be patient with me, as I've no experience with steampunk whatsoever. Thank you.

=======================================================

A huge thanks to those who've assisted me in this RP, especially Caprex213 for the plot, 'Federad' description, several of the listed creatures, the 'Creature Sheet', his excellent ideas, and helping me organize the RP.

=======================================================

A lone falcon soars over a boundless desert, sweeping the land with his staring eyes. He glides on and continues searching. Nothing. Just like every hunt so far. He is about to turn back to the pile of dust and rock used as his nest, but a sudden gleam on the horizon catches his eye. The falcon flaps his wings quickly, and flies toward the gleam. He ended up flying for two whole days, never resting once. Just as the falcon was about to land and give up his quest, a giant tree came into view. He flapped his wings, and he, with a sudden burst of speed born out of excitement, came upon the islands in the midst of a war in the skies. The flying islands of Korvagrad.

Korvagrad is in a state of civil war, with the two rivaling islands of Arkeum and Federad battling for control of the smaller islands in between the two. These islands have not yet been inhabited, and both islands desire extending their islands. One is powered by magic and life, the other by steam and steel. This civil war has lasted fifteen years. Fifteen years of savage conflict so vile and horrid that people wish they had left themselves in the deserts below. It is not truly known why the war was started, only that neither side started it. Federad fights for oil and power, Arkeum fights for rights, and both sides fight for land. There is no "changing sides" in Korvagrad. Once on one side, you're on it for life. And life here? Doesn't last long. In fact, if these islands condradict peace between the two... They may both come crashing toward the sands below. If that were the case... Korvagrad would fade into inexistence.


~Arkeum

Arkeum is nothing more than a massive oak atop one of the two inhabited floating islands. Its branches are very wide, providing people with the opportunity to build upon these branches. There are numerous settlements, most of which built in the canopy of Arkeum. The canopy of Arkeum guarantees safety and security, which is why not many humans live on the lower branches, although those are much more stable and wide.
Branches are connected by bridges, ladders, and the like. With these lifestyles comes magic, and the magic is what keeps the oak alive. If all magic were to dissolve, Arkeum would be no more than a desolate island that supported no growth.

~~~

In combat, Arkeum uses the following:

Kryllion-
The Kryllion has a very large beak that is alarming long and reasonably sharp. It has a poison gland on the roof of it's mouth, which it uses to poison it's prey after skewering it with it's beak. It has sharp, orange eyes, and a leathery spike, which it vibrates at high frequencies to communicate with other Kryllion. It has 4 legs, each pair serving a specific purpose. The front legs are tipped with large talons, made for gripping and tearing, and it often hooks into it's prey to drag it to the ground. It's back legs are made for running on land at high speeds, making take off easier. It has a long, sinewy tail, tipped with several long feathers. The feathers can be drawn back, revealing a long spike, tipped in the same poison as the beak. It's entire body is covered in feathers, and are often primary colours, although it's very dull and almost always multi coloured. They are often mostly red, with streaks of blue in the back and front, and smaller streaks of yellow throughout.

Slau-
The bird's body is comparable to a reptile's. It has very dry skin, and sometimes rough. It's wings are like a dragon's. Most of them have green wings, but some have a red color to it. It has four skinny legs, with talons. The legs are green. It's head is more like an Eagle's. A white hairy top part, the na brown lower. It does not have a beak though, pretty much like any reptiles mouth, it does have teeth, their very sharp. It has a long tail, slimey tail, but it actually helps it fly.

Taron-
Tarons are big, lizardy reptiles. They have long necks like snakes, and short, grumpy heads. They are big enough for people to ride on. They have huge, birdlike wings on their backs. The tip of their tales have feathers. Their feet are like the talons of a bird. They are usually coloured grey, beige, or pale green. They have the ability to climb upside down, and they're fast on land, but they're clumsy and weak in the air, making them more of a mount for invasions. Tarons can also carry vehicles, such as jeeps or small tanks, using their back legs aswell as their front legs as hands.

Kurna-
The Kurna looks like a huge, awkward bird. An ugly, flying thing that resembles a pterodactyl with wide leathery wings and a bony triangular head. Its mouth is full of serrated shark teeth, row upon row of them, and its claws glint like straight razors. It has no eyes, only indentations on each side of its skull. The wings end in blade-sharp ridges of bone. It bursts apart when it dies, leaving a wisp of black smoke behind. The Kurna are genially used as mounts although the certain females are much smaller than the males.

Gargoyle-
The Gargoyle has taloned fingers and is at least 9 feet tall. It has empty eye sockets, smells bad and has 2 rows of jagged glass-sharp teeth. Its hide is grey with a texture like old stone. It has leathery grey wings, rarely suitable for agile flight, and gripping, tearing talons. It's face is a picture of a grotesque example of the vile imagination used to create this creature. It can produce a high pitched, annoying, loud laugh that can give creatures headaches if exposed for too long.

Ciroc-
The Ciroc is a relative of the Pheonix. It has sharp claws for gripping things, a long beak, and is about 5 feet tall. It's wingspan is roughly 2 feet. It's plumage is fiery red in colour, and it's eyes are either red, yellow, or orange. When in combat, the Ciroc can light itself on fire. Any melee weapons used against a burning Ciroc will have no effect, and the meleer will be left with a burnt hand. So, only ranged weapons can kill the Ciroc. If the Ciroc is dieing or captured, it will turn into a large fireball, leaving no trace of the Ciroc... or it's captors.

Oxbaren-
The Oxbaren is a winged serpent, about 9 meters in length. It has breath that can eat away and corrode metal, making it a great creature in Arkeum's fight against the machines of Federad. It has a feathery tuft on the end of it's tail, like the Taron. It's eyes are always yellow and staring. It has two arms, but they are weak and rarely used. It cannot be ridden due to how it flies, and how it is shaped. It has sharp fangs, used for tearing it's prey, usually Federad troopers..

Arkeum also uses ravens, crows, and pigeons as messanger birds, and hawks, eagles, and falcons for combat.

~~~

~Federad

Federad is the only "Artificial" Korvagrad island. On the outside, it is rock, dirt, and stone, like the other islands. But on the inside is a power hungry machine, holding Federad afloat with huge steam engines. The surface of Federad is a toxic, uninhabitable marsh. All citizens live inside caves and underground cities, with hangars in the island's sides. The smoke and steam of Federad's underground factories leak out through cracks on the surface, giving the island a volcanic look. The Federadians do not believe in magic, and consider the bird creatures of Arkeum "abominations". In times of conflict, they release zeppelins, airships, and reptilian monsters out of the island to destroy their foe.

~~~

//CHARACTER SHEET\\

May I be informed of your full name?

--Brin Triadd Stenwulf

Forgive me for asking, but what gender are you? I swear I left my glasses right here...

--Male

Hmm... I presume you are a young adult, or older? Specify your age, please.

--Seventeen

My, my! You certainly are adorable! Your appearance is rather breathtaking!

--Brin has considerably tanned skin and blue-green eyes. His tousled chocolate brown hair is long enough to cover his ears. He has an average height and weight for his age, and a medium build. However, his upper-body strength does not match the strength in his calves. He is relatively slim, as well. Normally, he will wear a white collared shirt with cuffed sleeves beneath a light brown wool vest. He will also wear light brown trousers and a pair of chocolate brown leather boots.

Describe yourself - Are you easygoing, grouchy, easily provoked, or what?

--Brin is a very reserved character. He is also compassionate and humane, and therefore looks down on the war. Though, because of his low self-esteem, he doubts that he can make a difference. He doubts that his opinion is of any importance; thus, he does not express it. He feels inferior to almost everyone, including his older brother, Thard. As calm and composed as he is, he often has very violent thoughts simply because he refrains from expressing any anger-- or any emotion for that matter. These thoughts are very disturbing, and he's only mustered enough courage to share them with his closest friend Narrcus. It's a relief to Brin to have a friend like Narrcus, who will simply listen to him when he shares what feelings he's kept bottled up for so long.

My word... Look at that stunning weapon! [If any]

--N/A

Where do you come from? [Federad/Arkeum]

--Arkeum

Tell me a story, child. I want to learn of your history.

--In his early childhood, Brin lived in a small shack on the lower branches of Arkeum with his parents and his siblings, Thard and Mira. When Brin was only eight, his dear sister grew ill. The medic of the area explained to his parents that the fumes from Federad had afflicted poor Mira, who was bedridden for several months until she was finally laid to rest. Brin's parents mourned, and so did Brin-- only silently. At that time, Brin could not comprehend his brother Thard and what he felt. He assumed Thard was like him-- inexpressive, yet feeling. But Bard soon learned that was not the case.

Even in his early childhood, Thard was unfeeling and almost devoid of any emotions. When Brin was eleven, and Thard, thirteen, his older brother was initiated in the Hunt, an endeavor for young adults organized by the mayor. This was primarily designed to give them a sense of responsibility and give them an opportunity to provide food for their families, and Thard claimed that was why he joined. But Brin knew better than to believe that.

Thard enrolled for the army when he was eighteen, and, while his parents were led to believe that Thard's one ambition was to protect Arkeum, Brin was familiar with the actuality of the situation. Thard joined for the thrill of the hunt. Brin actually began to pity the soldiers of Federad because they were only rabbits and squirrels in Thard's perspective. They were simply the prey and the kill. They were victims of the cold and ruthless Thard, who believed that life was a game, and everyone else were his opponents. He wouldn't win until everyone else had lost.

Brin is now of the age seventeen, and he and his parents live in the mid-section of Arkeum, where his father serves as a butcher, and his mother, a nurse for wounded soldiers and their injured birds upon which they ride in battle.

Have I missed anything?

(Just did a quick CS, didn't have much time to get into much depth, sorry.)

I am a fine, twenty-nine year-old man that goes by the name of Tiernan Braddock. I have rather short hair, essentially it is only a bit of brown fuzz that hardly goes to the top of my forehead. Some find my green eyes to compliment this hair style (although I would beg to differ,) as well as my average build and height. I tend to wear a grey undershirt and pants, with a pair of denim overalls to go over them, but other than that nothing I dislike wearing clothes much fancier than that. Some say that I can be a rather anxious person, always on edge and nervous. That may be why I enjoy having a trusty pistol at my side pretty much wherever I go. Hailing from Federad, I had essentially grown up hearing tales of how it was the destiny of our nation to expand onto all of the island of Korvagrad, and how it would be so, if not for the evil nation of Arkeum. Having been fed this patriotic fervor, it was not a surprise that I joined the engineers' corps of the Federadian military. I had desired to see my nation to glory, to see myself gain honor in the eyes of my comrades who I sought out to defend. I have been working in this career ever since, and I do not think that I could trade it for anything else.

May I be informed of your full name?
-- Nathaniel Orlando Ablaster, at your service.

Forgive me for asking, but what gender are you? I swear I left my glasses right here...
-- Your glasses were taken by one of the thieves in town. You have a spare on the table however. I am male. No to the right not left.

Hmm... I presume you are a young adult, or older? Specify your age, please.
-- I am in between the section you classify as young adult or older. In fact, I am just 31 as of right now.

My, my! You certainly are adorable! Your appearance is rather breathtaking!
-- I don't think you would consider me adorable, that would be a child word. Though, I do fancy my cold and calculating hazel eyes. My hair that is black like volcanoe ash. The agile frame of my body. Ha ha, lets stop talking about my obvious appearance. I perfer to wear my black and red tricorn hat. Silly me, I forgot to mention my other clothing. I wear a brass belt and another belt down my chest from my right shoulder. It goes over multiple gears that function to use my grappling hook right under my left wrist. The gears are covered with more armor, but a more transparent glass. It is rather sturdy. Touch it if you want. I have a sample just in that case I brought in. Onto my left shoulder, I have a leather pauldron that has a brass sphere in the middle to help protection against a direct slice. On both of my wrists, I have more leather and brass mixing. The brass makes a sort of outline for the leather and the brass helps to counteract my balance with the hook on my left wrist. I also wear another leather glove that is dyed black on my right hand. Moving back to my chest, I have plenty of satches to place items in. Now down to the greaves. I would describe them as mostly brass, but with more leather covering the back and certain spots to allow more flexibility. The brass does not slow me down as it was made particuarlly to be protective and light weight. Don't ask how much it was. The greaves have multiple engravements on the knee area itself. My shoes are made of leather as well, they are quite light as you can see and durable. Back again to my chest. I wear a more leather system here as you can also see. The leather curtaines most of my body while the brass surrounds the gears working the wrist grappling hook and it makes criss crosses along my chest with leather in between. Just before I forget. I have a tattoo on my collar bone of a Phoenix and on my right shoulder I have a tattoo of five birds in flight. Calm and peaceful looking. All the tattoos are black.

Describe yourself - Are you easygoing, grouchy, easily provoked, or what?
-- I consider myself charming, yet rather humorous. I can betray multiple emotions. Perhaps you can remember some emotions I might display if you ask any more questions.

My word... Look at that stunning weapon! [If any]
--Ah yes, that you remind me. Can you grab the mace right there? No, not in the bag but the mace that is stuck in the wall. Thank you, this is Aeolus. This essentially controls my ship that I have worked on for years. It controls the entire ship, perhaps without a crew if I really wanted. The mace is spiked on the very tip and the sides of the very blunt end of the mace is spiked with multiple thin, but strong mixture of brass and steel to create something light and deadly. If you also see the grapple wrist gun I have. That can count as a weapon too if you so desire.

Where do you come from? [Federad/Arkeum]
-- Federad, I have a ship of my own to fly about in.

Tell me a story, child. I want to learn of your history.
-- You must of heard plenty of snippets from my descriptions. Truely I wish I saved them for this question now. I grew up with a blacksmith father and my mother abandoned me after she learned that my father cheated on her. I had to stay with my father in which I was a little glad for. He was more curious in the invention side of things. This is why I have my wrist grapple gun. I soon tried it out swinging from buildings and such. It was quite useful, but I never had an urge to use it. Several years later in my late 16's, the shop was handed down to me and this is why you see my mace and armor. I always had the dream of becoming a ship captain. It did come, only just later after the little riot on our little street. It took out the shop and most of my items. I bought myself a ship and so I went exploring I suppose. I won't say what I've seen or what I have done. I have a crew as of right now and thats all I can hope for. As of now.

Have I missed anything?
-- You need to get your glasses back from a thief in town and that I forgot to mention my jolly first mate. What a man he is. He goes by the name of Fredrick Callisio. We all just call him Daedalus for knowing most of our machinery and the ship. That reminds me. I must get back to my ship! Find me again and perhaps we can have a round of drinks with my crew, perhaps rum?
