It's steeeeaapuunk! Yay!
THE FOUR SOCIETIES:
We can make up more, though:
Gearaman, the tinker's society. They live in rustic houses made of wood and often have mechanized things in them.
Fablin, the tailor's society. Often live in nicer houses, with clothes made by themselves. Some are very rich.
Apharfair, the soldiers. They live in poor condition, like shacks.Other than that, they live pretty well. They get plenty of food and water, though some of the food is a bit dubious.
Espiona, the spies. No one knows much about their home, and they never really visit anyway.
We can make up more societies!
Here is the form:
Name: Aquata Shadow
Society: Espiona
Age: 12
Personality: Nice, wary, intelligent, smart, eccentric.
Appearance: Petite, dirty almost brown blond, sea green eyes, pale skin.
Name: Ellilise Needle
Society: Fablin
Age: 9
Personality: Sweet, excitable.
Appearance: Dark skin, blue eyes, curly black hair.
We start when we have six characters!

My father slipped quietly into the dim, sawdust-smelling room.
"Is it ready, Calces?" he asked quietly.
I nodded my head vigorously. "Almost, father. There is only one more piece we need."
"And what would that be?"
I checked the manual. "The book says we need crystal cogs," I said.
My father threw his hands up in the air. "Crystal cogs!" he cried. "How could I have overlooked it? Those are only sold miles and miles from here, in the Piston district! It's a days journey, even on the train!"
"I'll go." I said. "I know how much this invention means to you, and if I have to go to the Piston district, so be it."
My father slapped me on the back. "I always knew you'd be a helpful lad. Your mother would be proud..." Father got a misty look on his face for a moment, but his usual gruff expression soon returned. "Go quickly now. Here's some money for train fare."
I threw a blanket over the invention, and stretched out my hand for Father to press two silver coins into it. Then I put on my cap, and opened their door.
"Oh, and Calces?"
I looked back at my father. "Yes?"
"Whatever you do, do not tell a soul about the invention."
I nodded, and stepped out the door into the cool evening.

I sigh happily. I am with the senors, making machines that come to life. It is amazing, using gears and steam to create wonders. But sometimes it gets boring. I want excitement!

Nina sprinted silently across the tight-rope wide fence , deep into gearman territory . Where was he, the boy who could make live things of gears ? The boy who's kidnapping was her first mission since her Capture .
There it was. The house in which the boy lived. Nina pulled on her black mask and took a deep breathe. My whole carreer leans on this. No pressure . She opened the door using her lock pick and unlocked the door, to find- the boy staring right in her face.
(September 9, 2014 - 6:37 pm)
I crossed my legs. Then I uncrossed them. I crossed them again, before springing up with impatience.
Enid. I told myself. Enid. You cannot go back. You told Ellilise you were eloping. You ran from your mother. There is no returning.
Satisfied, I raced out the door, right into a young man from my home town. He knew me! Panicked , I tugged him back inside, eyeing his strange load of something made out of a type of crystal. He took a look at me, and his eyes grew wide. He backed away.

I had gotten the crystal cogs. I had spoken to no one. I had done everything father had wanted me to. I was just about to open up the door of my house to my father's welcoming eyes, and finally help him finish the invention.
But what was this? A girl who had been lurking around Gearaman, going places she wasn't supposed to. Her name was Edna or Enip or something like that. Enid. That was it. She suddenly pulled me into an unfamiliar building.
"What do you want?" I hissed. "If you want my cogs, you can't have them!"
(September 9, 2014 - 7:53 pm)
Ellilise woke up from the bad dream. It was just a dream.
Enid wasn't.
A solitary tear slid down her face, when suddenly she heard a tap at the window.............

(Enid)
I looked at the boy. Cogs? So that was what he was holding! But never mind that, I had to warn someone, and he was here in front of me.
"NO," I said, "I most definitely do not your cogs. But I need you to get this to someone important, someone who has any knowledge whatsoever of mechanical doohickies and such."
There was shouting on the street, and exclamations as someone found my tracks. I licked my dry lips and continued, handing him a crumpled sheet of paper.
"Take this, and read it, and then burn it. You-"
A hand wrapped around my throat, hoisting me off the ground as the boy shrunk into the shadows, unseen. I spluttered and struggled, as I was dragged away.
In the silence following, the boy looked at the paper, swore, and trotted off.

Drake~
I heard something rustling in the door. My family was busy making food, so I crept toward the door. It suddenly opened, and a girl stood behind it, fairly surprised. I stepped back, wondering why she was here. The girl grew a bit red and took me outside. This was a bit unexpected. I looked at her and said, "What do you wa-" "shhh!" she whispered. I kept quiet, even though she was scaring me. What is up?
(September 16, 2014 - 6:02 pm)
Aquata pulled the boy out into the street.
"Listen, make some cover noise while I escape, ok?"
"What?"
"Kick a trash can!"
"Oooookkkaaaaayyy.............."
Aquata ran off, making her getaway as the trash can covered her noise.

I bit my lip. ThIs was gonna be hard. I told him, "Your house is going to fall down. Your family will be evacuated one by one. We can't afford for the Apharfair to know their scheme failed. We mustn't draw any attention. " He glanced at me, clearly unbelieving. I sighed. " Look, just trust me." He shook his head, starting back to his home. "Well. That didn't work, " I muttered. "I guess I'll blow up his house now. "
(September 17, 2014 - 7:52 am)
Aquata escaped the Apharfair who had been holding her captive. She bumped into a girl. What was her name? Tina? Greena?
Mewmew says okye. Ok, ye? Hmmm..................

I may not ever join this RP, but then again I may. For now I just have some new society ideas! Take them or leave them as you see fit.
-Blur: the society of jumpers. Using a special blend of technology and magic, they can "jump" across the walls between worlds, exploring new dimensions and bringing back treasures from other realities.
-Marrigan: the society of sailors. They know everything there is to know about ships and the sea, from sailboats to steamships and back again. They are often well-versed in the semantics of trade, being the ones who ferry goods from place to place by sea.
-Veritasia: the society of scientists. If anyone needs help with their tech, they are the ones to go to. They are a diverse bunch, ranging from mathematicians to chemists to biologists to those who help the Blur with their vortex calculations.
Cappie says icum. Where do you want to come, Cappie? To Steampunk Land?
