Name: Isaiah Snodgrass

Current Location: Capitol

Fluff: Isaiah is from a farming family, and as a child, he was very ill, so ill that he would have died without aqua vitae – which his mother bought for him at great personal cost, and afterwards grew distant from him. He did not know whether it was because of the price she paid to save him or the way he changed after his illness, but either way, there was nothing to do but go forward. Isaiah now lives in the Capitol, apprenticed to an apothecary, peddling dull drugs and saving up for university, where he hopes to learn the secrets of the Aether – and what it did to him, or didn’t.

>Name: Maris

de l'Espritmarteau

>Current location: Capitol Slums

>Fluff: Maris was once the son of a lower noble family. Like many young nobles he was sent to university to learn about the world and make alliances with the future generation. He quickly picked up the sciences of Aether and started his own tinkering. He may have even become recognized as a prodigy, if it were not for the eternal games of the bored nobles. Maris's family was cast down from the ranks of the nobility due to the plot of another noble house, and the rest pounced for the chance to have more toys for their games. His father and mother committed suicide, his sisters and brothers either escaped to the streets and lost to him or taken by a noble to become their play thing in one way or another. Maris escaped, having been out testing an invention of his and only hearing the news after a week from a trusted servant. He destroyed his lab and took only his working prototypes and a locket with the picture of his family. Alone on the street for a few days he was found by Mina Rivelton, and made a deal. In return for supplies and the satisfaction of seeing the nobles suffer he will create and invent weapons and machines for the revolution.

As said in PM, there's no Aether Waste as such; some damaged hinterlands near the Industrial District, and the lower level sewers underneath said District can be considered to be tainted enough with Aether to mutate animals and men born there.

You may post. Anyone who wishes to join after, please poke me on IRC.

Rolled 18, 17, 6 = 41 (3d20)

1. Hit on a barwench. I like to see them squirm when they realize just what is flirting with them.

2. Well, fun time is over I should go look for work. Maybe my old captain in the military could help me out. Ol' Iron Jake has always had his fingers in a lot of pies.

3. While I'm in the military barracks I might as well see if there is anyone around who wants to spar a bit.

>Name: Jadewalker

>Current location: Drinking her pay away in a bar

>Fluff: The X Series was a project of a bored noble attempting to create the perfect soldier by combining human, and animal traits. The X-J8 line "Jade" was based entirely around snake traits with some variations. Designed with stealth and overwhelming physical force in mind most Jade series choose the more physical weapons.

Eventually the noble grew bored of the project and sold all living X units into the military where they worked off their selling price through service to the Empire. Jadewalker herself has semi-retired though she still has the innate lust for battle all X series were created with. She has been thinking of selling her services to people in need of a good fighter or assassin.

3. Take my shift at the counter, sell drugs to idiots, and pray for something interesting to happen.

>Name:

Yesleniya Petrovich

>Current location:

Swank-Ass Pad

>Fluff:

Social Engineering has always fascinated Yesleniya, and without ethical review boards or paternalistic "morality" thrust upon the Sciences, she has pursued an Ultra-Darwinist agenda in her own way by attempting to find the Übermensch–the Super Man instincts she believes to be locked inside of (a select few) normal humans by society, propriety, and constraints of common ethics. She will go to any lengths to achieve unlocking the Übermensch in her subjects. Even if they do not survive, she can gather data and try, try again.

>Name: Boltik Alsfelt

>Current location: The lower slums, local chapel

>Fluff: Boltik was never a soft man. Never a soft boy. Never a soft /anything/. He has led his entire existence in the face of awful corruption and horrors, from the moment his father died in the coal mines, the moment he learned of his mother's rape and death, the moments spent as a young orphan, the moment he was ordained as a Priest of the Church of Evalyn, The moment he wed his beloved, and the moment that she was taken from him by the plague. He has lost so much, and struggled on. The world is cruel to Boltik. But now was the time for Boltik to be cruel to the dark world that had hurt him so dearly.

1. Fix Mina's equipment. She should take better care of her shit.
