Going to set up a character sheet in case someone dies or leaves.
Name: Jules Vermin
Description: A sharply dressed man in his early twenties. He has short black hair and brown eyes and a short height at 5'3. He is rather skinny though from his travels and usually smells of smoke.
Background: A common born who some could argue was born in the middle class of society back in his home of Prestons capital. His father was a professor of history and political science while his mother was a for profit scientist in the university that they met. Because of the nepotism and money the family had Jules was admired to the university at 16, which is rather young. However, his genius came to light almost immediately and he was recognized by many intellectuals at the university as well as the countries merchant leadership.
His fame comes from two things: First his theory of a great society needing an abundance of road networks that connect any town or village to any part of the country. These roads must especially lead also to the capital he goes on. To this end he has helped set up countless road networks (with the help of several merchants and his fathers contacts). The roads are also tolled by his friends who give him a genours sum in return for his vision and efforts in creating his master piece.
The second thing he is known for are his "Steam Cars". A public transportation he claims can move supplies and people a far distance, quickly, and efficiently. Although revered by many as a genius some believe he expects too much in the realm of realism and starting investments. As such he has moved to Elberth and has organized an association of merchants, business owners, and a labor guild to create his steam cars from the capital of Elberth to the capital of Preston. He calls his organization "The Steam Entrepreneur Union".
Personality: Jules is very much an extroverted figure with alot of energy to him. His mind and body are always one and he is known to never go a moment not doing anything useful to his visions of a world with his inventions. However, his greatness stops their. Personally the man is a wreck because of his inability to find someone to love. Jules through his popularity has had many offers but they have all wanted him for money, fame, or personal gratification. All of which has made him question if he is any better than societies across the world. He drinks often in secret to avoid these thoughts and is known to only solicit women who he knows he can win over, which adds to his grief.
The secret though is more or less safe with only Jules and his parents knowing. Something he keeps secret to avoid a negative perception of himself.
Organization: The Steam Entrepenuers Union or SEU.
