Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Aniihya on Tue Dec 08, 2009 2:16 pm

Plot: Welcome to Van Trouwes Academy of Innovation, a school for the country's future inventors and geniuses. It was founded at times where steam operated machines made life easier for the nation. Now it is a partially state funded high school and college for teens and young adults ages 13-22. The high school part is open to people 13 to 18 and the college is for graduates of the high school. It doesnt matter how you look, even if half of your body is made up of prosthesis, all that matters is the ability to think and creativity. Classes are free research, basics of invention, mobile technology, maths, physics, chemistry, mechanics, medical studies, gym class, prosthesis research, industrial studies, literature, ethics, philosophy and metallurgy.
School: The school is a three floor stone building of Victorian architecture. It has 40 classrooms for 20 students each. Out of the classrooms 5 are chemistry rooms, 5 are mechanic rooms, 3 are lecture halls, 4 biology rooms and the rest are normal classrooms. The dining hall is in the first floor. Philosophy and Literature classes are often held in the school garden behind the school. The gym is on the east wing of the school. In front of the school there is a courtyard with a fountain in the middle and a statue of the schools founder Erijk van Trouwe (pronounced True). The dorms are in separate buildings, a total of twenty Victorian mansions spread across the 2 by 2 mile campus.
Special events: Students Convention, School Ball and Cultural Festival
Location: Somewhere in Western Europe, alternate 1860s.

Rules: No godmodding
You can make up to 3 characters (if three character than at least one teacher).

Name: Eric Watt

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Any prosthesis?: No

Appearance: Eric is quite short for his age, and is often mocked for it, people often think he is around 12 years old. He has fair skin, and blond hair that reaches down to his eyebrows and is often extremely messy. His eyes are a dark blue though he is often wearing goggles or his 'special spectacles' (Looks like normal spectacles but have various different lenses to allow for magnification. The swapping of lenses is motorized by little golden arms, each attached to a different lens).

Clothing: Often wears a white shirt and brown trousers along with small, leather shoes. He is usually carrying several of his gadgets or various other things.

Role: Normal Student

Majors: Physics, Mechanics, Biology.

Sexuality: Bi-Sexual [Though no one actually knows, as he's never been properly asked]

Personality: He is always very confident, and appears slightly eccentric. He likes to try and make friends with every one he comes across.

Background:
Eric Watt was born into a poor family, with barely a roof over their head. He was always fascinated by technology and mechanics. When he was young, he broke into a Mechanic's workshop and found a large car. He was fascinated by it's beautiful architecture, seamless design, and simple yet brilliant build. He mechanic who built it apprehended Eric, thinking him a thief. When he found out the child was only here on simple fascination, he allowed him to stay for a little while. The man claimed he couldn't figure out why the engine wouldn't work. He was absolutely confident it would revolutionise travel, and remove the need for horse powered means. Eric began to take a look at it, and as if a jolt electricity shot into him, his mind snapped into quite thought and action. He began take parts out, putting others in, swapping things around and various other little things. When he moved back, he asked the mechanic to see if it worked. The mechanic fetched the key, and got into the car. It roared into power and for a few seconds the two stood in silent amazement. Then the engine splurted, and broke. The mechanic was baffled that a young child had made it work, however briefly.
Within a week a man from the 'Van Trouwes Academy of Innovation' visited the Watt's family residence. He offered the boy a scholarship at the school. A few years on and he is still working away, trying to change the world with strange ideas and inventions.



I'll throw a teacher in aswell,

Name: Jonathan Lindemann
Age: 43
Gender: Male
Any prosthesis?: None
Appearance: Tall, extremely thin, and quite pale. Has green eyes and black hair.
Clothing: He wears a long, blue jacket that stops just before his knees, it is trimmed with silver and bears a drawing of a rose, also in steel, on the back of it. Under that he wears a white shirt, black waist coat, black trousers, and boots. The boots follow the same style as the jacket, blue, trimmed with silver. If he is working, he will usually take his jacket off and replace it with a brown, leather apron. His boots are also swapped with thick leather ones, padded with steel toe-caps.
Role: Teacher
Classes/Subjects: Mechanics, Basics of invention, and will stand in for Prosthesis research if no one else is available.
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Often kind and always makes jokes. He is quite a happy person, and likes to hold classes outside in the summer.
Background:
Not much is known about Jonathan's background, and likes it that way. He has worked at the Academy as long as one can, or cares, to remember. He will tell people that he came from a middle-class family, and was born as a blacksmith's son. From then on, he won't go into detail.

Name: James Dymond
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Any prosthesis?: Yes, instead of a muscle in his right arm, he has machinery, and hydraulics to replace the ligaments in his little finger and the one next to it.
Appearance: James is slightly short for his age, and has almost black hair. He has slightly tanned skin, and hazel coloured eyes. All of his features seem to match perfectly, making him quite good-looking. His face is heart shaped, and he has quite a thin nose, to go with that he has quite an athletic frame and kind eyes.
Clothing: Often wears a black blazer, but will try his best to get out of it whenever he can. With his blazer he wears a tie and a white shirt underneath it all, and black silk pants.
Role: Class president.
Majors: Mechanics, gym and literature.
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: James is kind, and a born leader. He can take any situation and get himself out of it (much to the dislike of most teachers), which adds to his leading skills. He hates maths, though he is good at it, and can easily make friends (explaining his popularity).
Background: James was born in England, where he lived until he was ten years old. After that he moved to Greece, to admire the architecture with his parents, then when he was almost twelve he moved to Portugal, and lived there until he was thirteen, when he went to the academy. On the way there though, while he was crossing the border from spain into France, an experimental machine went wrong, crushing half of James' right arm.

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Shazeio7 on Wed Dec 09, 2009 9:20 pm

Name: Shaze
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Any prosthesis?: No

Appearance: A 5'10" Slim figure Male.
Chin-length Black/Green plaid hair. Most situated in the back, some strands falling over the left eye. A shaded white complexion. Green eyes. Medium eyebrows, an average nose and lips. On the left side of the lip is a dark green metal piercing.
Two piercings on the left ear, one with a heart hanging from a small loop on three beads. A second black stud with a small gem inside. On the right is another stud with a small gem inside, black.

Clothing:A medium neck length, Small to Medium build Shoulder and arms. A thin long-sleeved cotton black shirt covers the body. A thin black cloth is wrapped a few times around the left wrist. Thin black leather gloves are worn, each with a small green rectangle on their center. A green trench coat, with black slits where pockets are, is worn over the body, a small collar on it.
Black durable, loosely tight jeans. A black leather belt is worn. Custom-made green Meril shoes.
Along-behind the right shoulder down to the waist is a picture of a beautiful woman in black ink, to appear leaning against the body. A straight-up posture and slight grin, otherwise blank face.

Role: Teacher
Classes/Subjects: Science/Chemistry
Sexuality: I prefer Females

Personality: A quiet, shy individual. On almost any occasion, will keep to himself. When engaged in socialization, answers most questions in a way of both fleshing out their person to reach out for a connection and at the same time acknowledge what the person wants or may not want. In the majority of their time, they spend time pondering on their past and future, only focusing on the present when with someone else. Indulges in his wide variety of humor when possible, and can enjoy violent endeavors sometimes. Sees beauty in many things, and has a pure enjoyment for almost anything in the world. Actions depend on the current mood. A mental disorder gives out small bursts of insanity at times where actions will vary and rarely ever be remembered. A man with good intentions, though can be pushed. Chronically depressed. Believes in fighting for good, though mood can often bring these beliefs down and chaos sometimes seen as an ultimate savior. Wants to be wanted, sees death as the final end for everything, and is willing to wait for time to bring this about. Very energetic and happy at times as well. Sometimes a child-like curiosity and behavior. Naturally blank, and also sometimes a quite mature and elder behavior. Enjoys art quite a lot.

Background: Born on a fall evening, August 18th in a small clinic. The mother went into a coma only a few hours after delivery. The father stayed and requested the brother leave with the newborn to live far away. Surviving in a metropolitan city, home-schooled by his older brother, through his teen years. In that time, no contact with their parents was reached, and he had lost many of the few friends he had known to deaths, most accidental.
His brother was taken into custody for a fight that led to murder, and himself in a hospital for a few deaths, as they had been engaged in a fight by street provokers. Living alone, was soon forced to find means of survival, as his brother was the only with a job. He was noticed for his talent by some older gentleman and was recruited into a small-time family crime organization, as they called, though not necessarily high-class enough to be called so. After a few years found love with a woman he'd encountered and had been seeing for a few years. They were married for only a little over a year and was then killed by a new strain of brain cancer. Though being sick for some time beforehand, thoughts of foul play were bought up. He then entered a more psychotic and depressed state, and enrolled in a chemistry job to work on a cure for this highly rare disease. Eventually drew and designed a tattoo in remembrance of his wife, and that night while working, had a mixture of chemicals crash onto him accidentally, and experienced a NDE from the highly toxic chemicals. Since then has remained more dormant and does most research at home. Also, in his paranoia, has acquired self-defense weapons and taken training to ensure the prime use of them.
Live. Love. Burn. Die.

Shazeio7 and Kaida are accepted. Kaida I mean prosthetics and Auto mechanics and prosthetics research are pretty much the same subject in this rp. Remember, this is steampunk, cars are steam powered and arent very fast. But lets say someone is working on a fast and efficient steam powered vehicle.
