Steampunk RP.

[Hugo Fowl]

Rules are simple. Craft a character, as though it was an FPL street character, and then go forth into the great unknown that I shall send you all. Also, this will be an experimental board for my eventual CoC game. I suppose I'll go first.

 

One final note: Limit your character skills to at least five please, and weapons to three for now. Items(non-lethal/plot relevant) are limited to two.

 

Name: Alexander Le Diablo.

 

Occupation: Freelance agent/Millionaire playboy.

 

Skills: Martial Arts, Firearms, Fencing, Single-stick,Parkour.

 

Weapons: Cane Sword(with lead-weighted scabbard), Wrist blade.

 

Items: Climbing claws, smoke bombs x 3

 

Profile: The Le Diablo family, having expanded its territories from Italy to London, have begun to infiltrate the newest center of the civilized world, in this case....London. Outwardly, Alexander is a man who having grown up in London, is now a professional lay-about. Wasting his families money on frivolous things and generally becoming a leech. In truth, they could not be more proud of him. Taking to the family trade like a fish to water, Alexander quickly gained an Underworld reputation for his hard work, his professional nature and his innate ability to silence a man swiftly when the time came for it. He currently works as a mercenary, a sell-sword for the highest bidder, as well as part-time enforcer for operations in London for his family.

 

Personality: In outward society, he acts like a generic playboy. Fond of the opera as well as the boxing ring and race tracks. Easy to talk to, and even more easy to con. Seemingly at least. With the hood and uniform he adopts when out at work, he becomes grim. Calculating and cruel.

Name: Jebidiah Rogers

 

Occupation: Cowboy/Inventor

 

Skills: Marksman, Expert Horse rider, Mechanic, Great intelligence more so in anything dealing with CLockwork tech,

[Guest tomisntblue]

Name: Jack Spade

 

Occupation: Scientist

 

Skills: Genius level intelligence, engineering, medical skills, beginner level martial arts, and weaponry

 

Weapons/Items: Knives, Various inventions

 

Profile: Jack Spade is widely considered the most brilliant scientist the world has ever seen. His pursuit of knowledge is unyielding and has lead him to great discoveries in mathematics, medical advances, and more than anything machinery. Through his studies he has also obtained some skills in martial arts, marksmanship, and various forms of swordsmanship; although his body is too weak and skill too little to engage in extended combat.

 

A fact that is not known to many people, "Jack Spade" is a name he created. His family was killed by an illness; he barely survived through the use of a new medicine that his father had been creating. However, the incomplete formula rendered him disfigured and some would say insane. He hid himself from the world for so long that he had forgotten his own name and named himself after the playing card.

 

Personality: Very up-tight and prone to odd habits and speech patterns. Despite this he is a certified genius and very analytical of his surroundings. On the surface he cares more about machines and knowledge than he does people, for he has spent most of his life in isolation and doesn't understand people as well. His only friend in the world is his assistant Rooty.

Name: Wiggins, Mark

Occupation: Mad Scientist, Genius Extraordinaire

Skills: Genius Intelligence, Fast With Hands, Steady Shot

Weapons/Items: Curved Knives x3, Scalpels x5, Long Spikes x7, Screwdrivers of Varying Sizes In. 1-8 Blades of Both Philips' Heads and Minuses x8, Gatling Gun x1, Drill x1

Bio: This is the story of Mark Wiggins, mad scientist extraordinaire and genius. He was born in London, in a shoddy building on the dark side of town, where he often found things to expirament on, such as rats and cats. He found that elctricity worked best to set things on fire, even better than matches. He burned their house down for the fun of it, where his family died, befriended a baboon in Africa, after being chased by the Scotland Yard. The baboon he named Gary, for the cause of ease, and found that he was quite smart. The only thing after that was teaching him how to talk. He succeeded some years later. Then the baboon started crafting inventions of his own, like mini-robots and mechanisms, especially geared ones.

They travelled the world, eventually turning back up in London, where he was caught and put into prison for some long years. He was eventually released, and went back to his house on Pyramids Lane. There he found Gary leaning over a table with many colorful vials and meters. He walked over to his companion's desk and tapped him on the shoulder.

His companion jumped, much to his satisfaction. "I see you forgot today was the day of my release!" he said with a flourish, munching an apple that he had picked up from a street vendor.

Gary pushed up his glasses and straightened his shirt. "I did not forget... I am simply... ignoring you."

"Mhmm... Yeah... Right." He pushed Gary away from the desk and asked him, "What exactly were you doing? Better yet, what were you trying to do?"

Gary answered crossly. "I was making the neccessary fuel for a plan that I have been working on since you were brought in."

"What kind of plan?"

Gary seemed to forget his resolution of ignoring him and handed him a stack of thin papers with random assortments of lines on them. "What is- Ooh..." Mark put two and two together and put the papers on top of each other. There was a plan for a robot revealed. "A robot?"

Gary smiled. "No. A robot suit."

Mark clapped his friend on the back, admiring his work. He saw the pieces of metal in the corner and walked to them. They were randomly curved her and there, as though they were to fit on a circular frame. "We had better start working, then," he stated to Gary. "Time is time, after all."

And so they set to work. They worked on it for years, and no one disturbed them. By this time, both Gary and Mark were grey-headed, and tired, and stressed to the fullest. "That war in America," Gary said one day, "was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard of. I mean, a country revolting on itself? Please. What a show of power."

Mark laughed wholeheartedly. Even though it had been about thirty years ago, it was still quite funny to think about. To think, the south rebelling against the north? Inplausible!

"And what about those idiot French? They think they can fly! What an absurd thought! Just hot air, if you ask me. Pardon the pun, but metal birds? No way."

"Yes! It's finished, now!" Gary exclaimed, showing him the robot once more. For those years, Mark had been handing him pieces he'd forged. Now, he could see the results of their toil. It was a robot, large and powerful, like an elephant.

"Now that, I would be afraid of."

The obot had a drill and a Gatling Gun, the drill spiralling out of the left hand and the Gatling gun spreading out of the shoulder. The robot would give him easy access to the control panel, where he could switch from run to walk to drill to gun, anything he needed. He hopped into the suit and took it for a test ride. He was satisfied to the fullest. "Woohoo! I love this suit!" He was running about the streets of London, rifles firing straight at him and him tanking the shots, and overall destroying things.

Personality: He can be funny at times, or at least he tries to be, although when he gets serious with his work, there is no distraction. Unless the place where he is is burning down, he will not usually look up. He is usually serious, though aforementionedly humorous.

Profile: When she was still just a young girl, a woman traveling to the far Eastern Countries found her on the side of the road during half starved and dieing of thirst and a couple of wounds from possible beatings. The woman took her in and raised her to be a maid with perfect ethics and true honesty. Her past life prior to becoming a maid is a mystery and she has little to no knowledge of it herself, possibly to cover up memories that are best left forgotten. Her skills as a maid became known to many wealthy people and "in the know" entrepreneurs. She soon gained the name "Bellaluna" for always being seen at night under the moonlight practicing her knife throwing techniques with bells and blind folds.

 

Personality: Her attitude towards people is one of smiles and generosity. Her attitude towards people who would spoil her smiles however, is rather cold and calculative. Her idea of justice is rather harsh as well, beating her opponent to the point of them having to receive medical attention should they threaten or cause harm to the ones that she loves. She absolutely hates rude behavior and makes a habit of constantly rectifying the mannerisms and actions of rude or evil people.

Hmm, if I had time for RP's, I'd be tempted to do this one.

Profile: Born of an english aristocrat and a irish entrepanuer, Aednat had everything she could ever hope to want...and she hated that. Having the hardworkinng, fighting Irish and Remignton spirit in her she almost couldnt stand to have the easy life. One day in her childhood she got let in on the family secret. She also had the blood of a wolf flowing through her veins. THis only made ehr angrier. The fact that they all had this amazing power and did nothing with it. A complete waste. One day when she snuck out by herself, she witnessed an underground fighting pits of sorts. The Dark Circus they called it. The one difference was that these fights were between all manner of monster, creature and fighter. She relished at the thrill of a lifetime as she entered herself as a combatant. her first match in she was soundly beaten. However after that foe attempted to go too far, she awakened her Remignton blood and took out all-comers. Due to her quick healing she survived this, and many other nights without any of her parents knwoledge. She is jsut fien with that.

 

Personality: Hardworking, kind and agressive. She is knowledgeable of her roots and is nifinitely more fond of them in comparison to her rich lifestyle. She will go to the aid of anyone she feels needs it and is more than happy to crack some skulls during the job. When not appearing snooty and stuck up she can be quite affiable and friendly. As a werewolf she retains her mind, but her attitude almost does a complete flip, enjoying the thrills her form gives her.

Skills: The political savvy version of Sherlock Holmes.

 

Weapons: The Sisters.

[ND7]

Name: Broik Ivanov

 

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs30/f/2008/135...herrenmedia.png (Just without the seven on his chest.)

 

Occupation: Sees himself as a Wanderer and name taker but his brain was too damaged for him to realize 'Wandering' isn't a job.

Skills: He is a skilled marksman with firearms, and throwing knives. Martial Arts, He is great at using physical torture, Great hunting/tracking skills.

 

Weapons: Two revolvers, battle Axe, brass knuckles.

 

Profile: Broik was just a everyday Russian, who was different from the rest of the people in his village, who were complete idiots. Broik, was intelligent or could at least know how to make a simple chemical reaction while the rest of the villagers didn't even know how to tie their shoes. Broik, hated being the only smart one his own village so he made up a plan to kill everyone in the village, and act as if someone had came and murdered them and maybe he could live in a village with smart Russians, like himself. But, as the day arrived and everyone had fallen asleep in the village, Broik grabbed his Axe and was about to begin his slaughter when for some reason a avalanche occurred and buried poor Broik underneath a pile of snow. Broik thinks it was just was bad luck, but the villagers thought it was divine intervention.

 

Either way, a scientist who was traveling through the village found Broik, and after freeing him from the snowy tomb, he found that Broik's body was minutes away from dieing, so the scientist took the Russian's body back to his lab, as he thought that he could use a bodyguard. Broik, by this point couldn't feel anything and could only watch for the few seconds he had left, as the scientist took his brain and put it into the robot he had been working on.

 

Once, activated the robot had all of Broik's memories, and so now the scientist Mr. Tojo had sent Broik or Mr. M (for Mr. Model1, a reference to him being the first robot Tojo created.)out into the world and after enough information about it was gathered, to report back. That, is how Broik has ended up in all of this.

 

 

Personality: Broik, is very upset at his current situation at just being a brain, as he didn't include the robot as his 'body' but more of a shell. Broik, thinks of himself as a monster and normally keeps the chamber on his chest closed, so his brain won't be revealed. Broik, can communicate and will sound like a regular human but has a robotic(obviously) tone to his voice.

[Indolent]

I'm wondering, should we have the Mauers know of the Le Diablos and Remingtons in this RP?

[Guest KevinDWolf93]

Welll(and Ive no clue if youve spoken with hugo by this point) youve at least conversed with the le Diablos at this point. I would say no for the Remigntons(unless u wish to talk that possibility over later on).

[Hugo Fowl]

Recap: The Grand Hotel is now a crime scene.

[Guest force_echo]

The LeDiablos are Italian born correct? Do they have anything to do with the unification movement in Italy in the time period? If so, I might know them.

[Hugo Fowl]

The LeDiablos are Italian born correct? Do they have anything to do with the unification movement in Italy in the time period? If so, I might know them.

 

Yes, they are Italian born and they are more along the lines of Criminal Industry, at least at this point. There are a few political Le Diablos though, so its quite possible. Especially with the comment about Rome earlier.

 

FYI all, the timeline is roughly 1870's.

[Hugo Fowl]

New Re-cap: Previously, in London-Town.....

 

After the failed attempt on Dr. Wagner Klempts life, the police have found several clues to the identity of the killer, most notably a bullet from the gun as well as the gun itself.....Well, the bullet at least. The gun was stolen by Richard, who has decided to seek out the identity of the would-be killer himself. Currently for all others, they are in the Hotel now....Being questioned if they saw anything as of yet. Any questions here, ask away.

[Guest force_echo]

I picked up the bullet before I ran though...

[Hugo Fowl]

I picked up the bullet before I ran though...

 

Did you now? A commendable feat when drunk, in the confusion and with people stampeding everywhere. Still, I checked it and yes it appears you did grab it..... Good luck with that. The bullet is simply standard issue as well.

[Guest KevinDWolf93]

bump for those idlers. POST!!!!!

[Darkender]

I didn't even notice this started...

[corvette1710]

Mark seems to be in some deep shart...
