So here's the deal, I'm working on a game system, wanna see it?  Well too bad, cause the way were playing this game is you know very little of the numbers going on and simply play.  What's your strength?  Who cares, don't worry your pretty little face over it, let me do the brain work.  It works much better this way... truuuust me.  Very complicated stuff, yeah that's it..

This game takes place in my clockwork world that my detective game takes place in.  "Detective game?" I hear you asking, oh you haven't heard of it?  That explains why it's dead.

So if your interested in playing in a psuedo 1800's-1920's steamclockpunk world, with an innovative (truuuust me) damage and fighting system, as well as like 100 equipment slots (lemme worry bout them), and guns with axe heads at the end of them.  Simply say "Hey I wanna be born in this world despite the fact that this is probably gonna be terrible."  And I'll roll up your race and attributes, I'll tell you your race/nationality and age, but I'll only give you a rough description of your attributes. Then you tell me a quick little history/description, no specifics needed, I'll fill those in so you fit with the world and your culture, and I'll also pick out any appropriate skills based on your history/profession and your culture.  Then I'll give your final description as well as maybe a sprite since I like making them.

Also if you want to ask questions, go ahead, I love answering them, makes my job easier.

Will write these out further, later.

Calmery:
 Grand Mechanical Capitol

Known for their industry and mechanical advancements.  Calmery has numerous train tracks spider webbing across it's mostly flat land.  While mostly peaceful the Calmery people have recently been in a bloody 7 year war with their neighbor Urasale, though they have been on rocky terms of peace for the last 5 years.


Race/Ethnicity: Caucasian
Hair Color: Browns

Urasale:
 Mountainous Country

Your land is known for it's precious metals and gems, though they are rarely traded and instead used to make gaudy belt buckles, while most of the worlds precious metals do come from Urasale it's estimated they only trade away 25% of what they mine, or would if they were even a bit industrialist.  Urasalians are highly patriotic despite the fact that they are basically serfs to their Tsars, but they do live quite well and are hard workers.  The countries lack of industry is more of the fault of their leaders and not of the people, as the leaders only care about expansion.  It's not uncommon for a family to survive solely on hunting alone, especially in the colder tundra.  After the war many Urasalians moved to Calmery for work since most of their land was destroyed in the war.  They speak with russian accents.   


Race/Ethnicity: Caucasian
Hair Color: Blond

Hulhel
 Small Hilly Nation

You are pretty much an Irish, Scottish and also Vikings.  Though your people don't raid much anymore, and live in small villages raising sheep and mining ore to trade.  Despite not raiding anymore Hulhel Mercenaries are in high demand and Hulhelians outside there homeland are normally hired as body guards or large bands are bought out by corporations and trade caravans to lands that still lack rails.


Race/Ethnicity: Caucasian
Hair Color: Red

Parasala
 Desert Nation

 Your people are known for being shrewd traders do to their central position.  They are also fine weavers, weaving intricate designs in clothing, rugs, tapestries. Parasalians keep their faces covered, and are rarely seen without their face scarves.  They are only taken off in private with family and during wedding celebrations, though the couple is usually hidden behind a screen.  To show one's face to another is to show trust and is only done among very good friends, (of the same gender, lovers save it for the honeymoon).


Race/Ethnicity: Arab
Hair Color: Black

Bavao
 Tropical Archipelago

Your nation is known for it's sailors and traders (and pirates...), as well as it's produce, most notably sugar and citrus fruits.  Fashion wise Bavaos are known for their exotic piercings, most notably on males, who obtain numerous piercings as a right of passage.  I'd have more info but this is one of the newest nations I've made.


Race/Ethnicity: African

Jahia

Only guy I have drawn is a monk covered in tattoos, not the best example.

Name: Aodhán Caomhánach/Aidan Cavanaugh
Male
Used to work as a farmer and occasionally cut trees as a part-time lumberjack. Loves the thrill of adventure and very rarely goes to steal things from others (not all of them were successes though). Is now a homeless vagrant who does odd jobs daily.

Bio: He is of plebeian descent, the only child of the two people who never loved him. He left his family at a young age (14), and started working as a farmhand for a nobility-owned vineyard. He was eventually sent to an orchard, then to a potato farm years later, and started working as a part-time woodcutter.

For a short while, he attempted to steal from nobility, and only succeeded once. The other time, he was kicked out by the noble he worked for from the farmland, and told never to return. He also stole from commoners thrice, and succeeded in doing so. He hasn't attempted thefts ever since.

He barely scraped anything extra from all the work he did, and the cash he earns occasionally, he spends on good mugs of frothy booze. He keeps his trusty woodcutter's axe with him at all times.

[Yoink]

Oh, wow! Gimme one!

"Hey I wanna be born in this world despite the fact that this is probably gonna be terrible." 

...You did tell us to say that...

[King_of_the_weasels]

Alright I'm up, kinda groggy, that means it's time to roll some dice, do some basic math, then write out information that may actually be important.


Exolyx who from now on I'm referring to as Exo.  You are... *clicks dice roller*

Parasala!

You are 26 and from the desert nation of Parasala.  Your people are known for being shrewd traders do to their central position.  They are also fine weavers, weaving intricate designs in clothing, rugs, tapestries. Parasalians keep their faces covered, and are rarely seen without their face scarves.  They are only taken off in private with family and during wedding celebrations, though the couple is usually hidden behind a screen.  To show one's face to another is to show trust and is only done among very good friends, (of the same gender, lovers save it for the honeymoon).

*Looks at stats he rolled* I'm gonna be nice and reroll these for you... *facepalm* I was rolling the wrong dice.

You are weaker then normal, but a bit tougher.  Your coordination is average.  Your slightly wiser then most people, but are poor when it comes to intelligence.  You have a silver tongue.

How about you give me some details about your character, name, gender, a little backstory, jobs you've held down, etc.





I was hoping you'd join this game Yoink.

You are...

Urasale!... cause I don't have any info on the Jahia and I don't want any doubles...

You are a 25 year old from the mountainous country of Urasale.  Your land is known for it's precious metals and gems, though they are rarely traded and instead used to make gaudy belt buckles, while most of the worlds precious metals do come from Urasale it's estimated they only trade away 25% of what they mine, or would if they were even a bit industrialist.  Urasalians are highly patriotic despite the fact that they are basically serfs to their Tsars, but they do live quite well and are hard workers.  The countries lack of industry is more of the fault of their leaders and not of the people, as the leaders only care about expansion.  It's not uncommon for a family to survive solely on hunting alone, especially in the colder tundra.  After the war many Urasalians moved to Calmery for work since most of their land was destroyed in the war.  They speak with russian accents.   

You're pretty strong, and of average constitution.  Your clumsy both on your feet and with your hands.  Your pretty sharp in mind, and even sharper with your tongue.

How about you give me some details about your character, name, gender, a little backstory, jobs you've held down, etc.

[exolyx]

name, gender, a little backstory, jobs you've held down, etc.

Name: Loroff Keest
Male

Bio: He was born into a peasant potter family, but never was sent to school because of monetary issues. He left his home ate age 18, for the next 3 years he lived in a small house, traveling often and assisting traders in a caravan, learning how to trick others with clever moves.  He was able to acquire several valuable items this way, and learned several thieving tricks as well. Picking pockets in large crowds, he realized there was no benefit from stealing from the poor.

Thus, he attempted to steal from the rich. He decided that the mayor was the best target, the richest man currently in town not part of the caravan. As he was attempting to steal money form his pocket, the Mayor noticed and sent 2 guards to chase him. He was unfamiliar with the terrain, for this was out of his country.   He was captured and placed in jail for 2 years, and was let out after that.

Thus learning his lesson, he set out to not get caught this time.  He wasn't, and with the valuable golden coins that the mayor so carelessly kept in his pocket he bought a wagon to go back to his home. When he returned, his house was still unchanged, and nobody had sold it. The traders had actually reported exactly what happened. He finally decided that Stealing was too dangerous, and decided to continue with the traders for the remainder of the years before the-now present.
