IDEAS NAO

[Beastie]

We need some RP ideas...

Here's something, tell me what you think (Shadow and I started the idea, but I added a couple of things. >.>:

It's the late 1800's, and the world is just now beginning. With new archeology advances that have been uncovered, and new mysteries awaiting in the past that could greatly effect the future if they are left undiscovered.
With new advances in technology, though, it certainly seems like the golden age to the majority of the population. And in the deepest reaches of society are underground gambling and whore houses. The illegal issue here is the alcoholism, prostitution, and gang wars.
But, in the depths of these houses, something extraordinary happens, and it's up to a few select to spread the word- And help to stop a disaster from changing the world...

Bleh- Cheesy, but it's a good start. >.>;

Opinions? TELL ME.[/color]

Sweet, a time period I don't see often. *wants to play* ^^

[monochromeheresy]

I likes! Count me in! ^_^

I'm not very familiar with steampunk, so I better ask: what levels of technology and magic would we be lookin' at? I'm thinking about doing a non-magic character anyways but I'd need to know if he'd have been exposed to magic or technology beyond normal late 1800's stuff, or if he might be fairly clueless to it if the common man doesn't see these things.

In other words, would an ordinary person in this world see the world as our real-life late 1800's, or would there be some very obvious differences?

[Beastie]

Steampunk is a genre that consists of the following:
-Late 1800s/early 1900s environment.
-Steam operated machinery- Very advanced technical world.
-Clothing is most of it- Shades of brown, mostly, with things such as top hats, goggles, canes... Bleh.

There's also western steampunk, which is the same thing except in western type backgrounds.

It's a branch off of sci-fi, though. ^^

Buuuuh- Pictures:

I'm too lazy- My wife could explain it better. XD

[shane]

Sweet, that helps, thankye! ^^ A friend of mine also did a bit of random explaining as well, so I can wing it. (Yay learning XD ) ...I'm a little behind, but I'm going to work on character profile and hopefully get that posted today.

OH! Question: where is the RP set? Somewhere in the US? ...London? It doesn't affect the character sheet I'm working on but I thought I'd better ask. xD

[Beastie]

*Stare* ... Hell, I dunno! XD
Just use your imagination. 83

[shane]

ROFL. It matters, cuz if it's set in England, Shase's mother wouldn't be an immigrant. xP Well, it also matters for the actual RP too. xD If you aren't thinking the setting is a foreign country at all, we could go with like... Chicago or New York... or if this isn't a real-world steampunk spinoff, then the city needs a name and Shase's backhistory needs an edit. xD

Speaking of, I threw the work I've done so far on his past into the story dump forum:

beastiewolf.proboards80.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=dumpemhere&thread=17

It lacks the tech descriptions for steampunk but as you know I'm not real familiar with that (workin' on it tho, and well, those familiar with it can see it in their own imaginations without it needing to be described in the stuff that's written). Aaaand... hmm, time to go deal with reality for a bit. -.-

[Beastie]

I don't want to take complete charge thoooough. >.<;
But I guess I can, since it's technically mine...
Chicago, I guess- I'll go with that. I still have another world in mind, but I'm not sure what to call it. T.T
I'm not good with names...

Tis fine, tis fine. ^^ You're fine.

[shane]

Awshum. ^^ *salute!*
