Plot: In Newfoundland in North America, there is a town of inventors. By the public it is more seen like a town full of mad scientists, because many have an obsession with their research. Some of the research isnt even seen as humane. But the towns population seems to rise quickly. Many scientists and inventors of the world now moved here with their families. Due to the increased military presence of Canadian and American troops, the city council of the town has written a petition to the government of the countries. The government opposed by establishing forts in the region. Now the town wants to drive them out of the region, even if it means killing them. Canada and the United States dont fear the town since they think it is a town full of unsuccessful scientists, but they are wrong. The people of the town are successful. They have steam driven carriages that dont clatter and advanced weapons like handheld machine guns (in the 1800s they didnt have smgs yet).
The town: It doesnt really have a name but some call it Evolution or Innovation. It already has 1500 inhabitants and 3 districts: Residential district, Park district and Town center. Park district is the area around the beautiful public park. Residential is where most people live. The two schools are in the residential district. In the town center is the town hall, shops, restaurants and other buildings.
Near town the is a harbor.

Rules: No godmodding.
I want to see good grammar.

Character sheet:

Name: Jeremiah Wilen

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Jeremiah has blondish-brown hair that is almost always cut short. He has decent features, coupled with piercing blue eyes. His frame is a bit skinny, though he is very tall at about 6'6" in height.

Clothing: He wears simple clothing, consisting of large blue goggles that hide his hair, navy blue work overalls and black boots, as well as a brownish undershirt beneath his overalls. He almost always carries around a spare FixIt wrench, which is a tiny invention of his own design.

Expertise: Repairing anything mechanical, as well as designing and building new devices.

Flaws: Very bad at anything requiring physical or manual labor. Also extremely shy.

Weapon/vehicle: Jeremiah has special wrenches of his own design, which he calls FixIt wrenches. A FixIt wrench in essentially multiple useful tools in one. Each one looks like a regular wrench, but with a certain number combination located on the bottom of the wrench, they can change into a completey different tool. They can change into drills, screwdrivers, hammers and other useful items. Most of the time, Jeremiah keeps about four or five on hand, although he can always make more. Along with his assortment of FixIt wrenches, Jeremiah also uses a customized, 15-foot tall mechanized steam walker which he has named Ezekiel. It's built with spare train parts, and almost always spouts a good stream of steam into the air as it moves. The walker is bipedal and has two functional arms, each of which have four digits, including a thumb on each hand for delicate work. The walker can hold up to three people inside it's spacious cockpit, but Jeremiah almost always prefers to pilot it alone.

Personality: Jeremiah is an extremely shy individual, preferring to always work alone and tinker with his walker. He isn't so much anti-social as he is reluctant to meet new people. Always an inventor at heart, he is very bright, but he often gets embarassed when asked to show his expertise in mechanics. Jeremiah has a soft spot for pretty girls, but he can easily get flustered around members of the female species more often than not. When he does open up to someone, he can quickly become a trustworthy friend and ally to that person.

Background: An orphan since birth, Jeremiah has long lived on his own. He's a regular in Newfoundland, he is known by everyone, but at the same time, he tries his best to avoid contact. He lives in a small workshop he built himself at the edge of town, where he spends most of his days tinkering and creating new inventions. Despite his shyness towards the rest of the populace, many of Newfoundland's townspeople have often come to Jeremiah for help in repairing broken objects, something the boy takes great joy in doing. In fact, it's only while he's repairing something for a stranger does Jeremiah ever really open himself up to anyone.

Hope that's good enough. Can't wait to start. :)

You both are accepted. I will make an IC tomorrow.

*cheers one armed* Huzza! coffee all around!

hope i'm not too late :O

Name: Nicholas Cathcart

Age: 23

Gender: male

Appearance: 5'10", sooty, and broad-shouldered. Nick has the strong arms of a blacksmith and often smells like one too from days of forging, fine-tuning, and running from minor explosions. His dark, slightly hooded eyes are calm but even relaxed seem to be scowling. The smoky grays and blacks of oil and charcoal are usually smeared on his large but nimble hands. His hair is supposedly red, but it usually passes for a gritty brown unless he's recently bathed.

Clothing: Nick owns very little clothing. For public outings he usually has one dirty set (the one he's wearing) and one clean set (the one he should change into). They are identical; At home you're lucky to find him in a pair of pants.

Expertise: Scavenging, smithing, drug-dealing, inventing. Nick is currently putting all of his efforts into inventing a flying machine.

Flaws: Single-minded, pushy, and obnoxious. Many of his inventions fail due to his impatience.

Weapon/vehicle: Two fists and a bullish personality.

Personality: The big picture is important, but sometimes Nick completely forgets the details. He doesn't know how his oven or his toilet works, nor does he care. He would much rather focus on the fantastic ideas--like flying machines. He tends to disregard all aspects of life unless he sees the need to include them in his life. Nick will be the one to ignore you until he decides whether or not you are worthy of any effort. He judges people quickly into two categories: like and dislike. You are more likely to fall into the "like" category if you are female: he is a dedicated womanizer.

Background: Nick doesn't have much of a family. He left all he had in Britain and stretched his connections with the scummier side of street life overseas to America. He is a new player in the network of drug dealing in the colonies, but he is steadily hammering his way up the ranks, doubling as a blacksmith to make a steady income. His free time goes to his inventions, his women, and his work. Nick is not the most respected person in town, but he is known as the best blacksmith to go to for the strongest alloys.

You are accepted chickenscratch
