TL,DR; When Spamkingdom rules meet with Steampunkish RPG of sorts with all the fantasy stuff tossed in because why not?

God Save the Empress!

In the year 1925 AD, the Albion Parliament has, acting upon the decree of the Imperial Family, proclaimed creation of a new branch of the Albionese Science Society - the Mystic Detectives.

These young and old men and women shall investigate the reports of unearthed haunted tombs, vague wyvern sightings, dwarven automata appearances and occassional smuggling operations of the perfide Xin easterners to ensure that the Empire is safe from external threats both mystical and mundane!

The copy of the Parliamentary Charter includes first five names on the list!

Name: Your character's name.
Biodetails: At least gender and age.
Trait: Charismatic, Wise, Martial, Healthy, Lucky
Occupation:
*Aeronaut: Licensed to pilot an aeroplane or zeppelin.
*Botanist: Pretty much the best person to examine and recognize exotic plants and trees.
*Empiricist: Mostly doing laboratory work, although not safe from dreaded field trips on occassion.
*Grenadier: Finely trained in use of guns, explosives and weapons.
*Linguist: Learned in various languages, both human and non-human.
*Machinist: Able to operate and repair machines and ancient artifacts of engineering.
*Nurse: Here to keep fellow Detectives alive and well (or, at least, try to accomplish that).
*Socialite: Helps this rag-tag bunch of misfits get in touch with the very important people.
*Spiritualist: Person dedicated to mysterious phenomena and supernatural research.

The Parliament and the Imperial Family have high hopes in the efficiency of MIDASS, and will reward honest work and successful developments with higher budget, allowing for grander selection of vehicles, expansion of MIDASS' complex and even increasing the roster from five to more!

But who are the five Mystic Detectives?

That's a full roster then.


The Charter also speaks of the facilities: Aerodrome, where the six-seat Smokemountain Plus aeroplane is kept; Laboratory, where science can be done; Factory, where machines can be made and repaired, and Campus where all the daily activities are done, from dining to exercising to book-reading.

The additional addition to this ever-adding list is Sir Edward Smillington, a small man in his early 40s with spiky nose and large spectacles. Dry tone and ability to deliver boring lectures is his forte. He is the 'mission control', securing deals with whomever it is there to seek the services of MIDASS.

2nd September 1925 AD

Oh boy, a phone call can be heard from Smillington's office! Is this a call for work?

"Yes it is." Smillington adjusts his glasses as he steps to the too-large-for-him podium to deliver the briefing.

"Lady Annotolette Baskethome of Chudich has been recently getting spooked by a wild dog in the forests around her house. While stray pet control is not our job, Lady Annotolette has also mentioned some bizarre events of occult to happen at her home, namely furniture 'coming to live' and 'old family graves' defaced when the dog barking can be heard in the woods. After brief consultation with Lord Governor of Science Society, Sir Theodore Rusewell, we've agreed to solve this mystery." The small man adjusts his glasses and looks at the group.

"Any questions before we do the inventory management?"

[Roboson]

Dredful remained silent. He had no questions.

[Maximum Spin]

Ethan purses his lips and glances around a bit, having no questions either.

[Shadowclaw777]

Kathleen eye's scurry a view across the room and her lips peruse her of options, but she had no questions as of the current moment.

[10ebbor10]

I presume the lady posseses a certain material wealth, to gain the attention of a man as important as Sir Theodore Rusewell so easily?

[Haspen]

Smillington adjusts his glasses.

"Not really. But Sir Rusewell believes that such a mission in the Albionese countryside would do good to evaluate the competency of our humble organization, something I'm willing to agree with."
