Secret Mechanics RP!
Secret Mechanics RP!
Remember how I had a Robots vs. Magicicians RP that died pretty quickly? I thought it was b/c the plot was too complex and full of characters, so I made a "Magician's RP" and now I'm making a robot RP! This won't have anything to do with the Magician's RP, I'm just basing it off of part of the original idea.
So, no more rambling, to the plot!
Your character is involved in the underground works of an unofficial group that has come to be refered to be the phrase: "Secret Mechanics." Your mission? Building illegal robots, weapons, supercomputers and all these other things that I know absolutely nothing about (therefor I'm making it up). Will you be some sort of apprentice, learning the evil trade whose masters lurk in the darkest depths of society? Or will you be one of those masters; creating evil machines for the thrill and well-paying customers, or perhaps even a bigger plot that is yet to be revealed? Or will you be a spy deep undercover and hidden in secrets? Beware: the dark world of Agalthathon is full of secrets, and the Secret Mechanics is only one...
On that happy note, it's time for charrie sheets!

My character:
Name: Avin-Brandr Dlithe (Everyone calls him Vin or Brand)
Age: 17
Appearance: Very dark brown hair usually just on the point of needing a haircut, light brown eyes, usually has a hint of a smile hidden somewhere in his face. He's very tall, and is sometimes teased for his height.
Personality: Despite is trying past and difficult present, Vin still harbors a bit of warmth within. Most of the time he is quiet and collected. He knows what to do in most situations and is very smart.
Talents: He can measure things with his eyes and work quickly with his fingers. He is best at sketchig plans and designs and such.
General backstory: His family gave him up for adoption soon after birth. Vin moved around until he was finally adopted by his current guardian, a rather insensitive man who keeps to himself most of the time and makes jabs at others when he's not. The man's name was Jharbon Ghud, and he was involved in the Secret Mechanics in small ways. Once he learned of Vin's talents, he forced Vin to get involved so that he himself would look good in the eyes of the masters and possibly promoted to a higher paying job. After two years, Vin worked as a technique manager (guys, I'm making this all up. Don't google any of these so-called jobs) and fell into a pattern with his work that he enjoyed because it kept him busy, regardless of the dark nature of some of the Secret Mechanics. He can't pull out now after working with some of the masters, or else he will "mysteriously disappear." Besides, it's so easy to overlook the illegal part when he's doing what he loves with no one critisizing him.
Something they are hiding: Once when he went to get another Rioche quill after breaking his own, he overheard a conversation between two of the masters. What he heard was this:
"And do they not know of the plans?" The first asked.
"The apprentices have no idea what they have been assigned," a second voice answered.
"What about the girl?"
"Fatir-Aswad's predictions will not come true. She will NOT stand in the way of the—"
"Have Fatir-Aswad's predictions ever been wrong before?" Interupted the first master.
"They will be this time," growled the first master, "besides, with Ghud's aspiring artist working to—" Here Vin could hardly hear the passing masters. The only other words he caught were: "betray her."
Ever since then, he has wondered what the plans were and who the girl was. I have the feeling he's about to find out...
Relationship to other characters: As of now, there aren't any :)

Sure, she can be friends with Vin, and okay, haha, that would be funny.
Anna~
I finish working on the watch when Vin comes into the Labratory.
"Watcha working on, Anna?" he asks.
"Just something for a client," I smile back. "Fixing a digital watch with advanced statistics of weather, communication, and such on a screen."
Yeah, right. This watch really has explosives, a small machine gun, poison darts, a police squad on call, and other things within it that Vin knows about. But with all of the rumours about ears being everywhere lately, well... we've got to be careful in even the way that we talk.
"Interesting," he says, winking. "I've sketched out some designs for the Project. You want to come look at them?"
Ah, of course. The Project. Only a project in making advanced machinary and weapons for a corperation that pays a whole awful lot.
"Sure," I reply.
I walk over while he lays out the sketches that have a small stain of coffee at the bottom. The sketches are detailed, and almost perfect, but I spot the tiniest mistakes, point them out, and he fixes them. This is why we work so well together. He can sketch it out, I can make it, he can make it, and I can perfect the details.
"Ahladith wants to see the sketches too," he says.
I look up at him. "What?"
"He wants to see the sketches," he repeats.
When I give him a look, he laughs. "You don't have to be paranoid, Anna. You can trust him, he's my apprentice!" (or not, either way. Maybe they just know each other well.)
"I know, but..." I squirm. "Oh all right. But no one else can see the sketches, okay?"
Vin's expression turns serious and he nods. "Okay."
Now that we've become Secret Mechanics, we do deeper illegal work then one might have thought at first.
But there's something else that I have to hide deeper than that.

Dakota~
Please label the map of the United States of America with the correct states and capitals.
I look at the map and instantly label a few - Alaska, Hawaii, California, Florida, Texas. Then I pause, staring at the rest. New York. Pennsylvania. Virginia - so that must be West Virginia. Massachusetts, I think. Georgia. North and South Carolina.
I move on, looking at the middle. Kansas, Ohio, Nebraska, Wyoming. And now - I know these are the Dakotas. North is - which way? I hesitate.
"Every time." The Master pulls the paper away from my nose. "Obviously, you need repair."
"I don't!" I protest, trying to take the paper back.
He tuts. "You mixed up Massachusetts and Maine. And you misspelled Hawaii. Go see one of the apprentices, they'll fix you up."
I stand, shaking my head, but move off. There's no use arguing with a Master. I decide to see if Vin is around, because he's usually efficient and I last much longer without repairs when he does the job.
I slink down to his hideout in time to hear him say "Okay." Worried I've intruded, I bang hesitantly on the side of the passageway, give him a moment, and then look in. Looks like he has a guest - Anna.
"Hey," I say. "One of the Masters sent me down here. Apparently I need yet another tune-up."

Anna~
"Why?" I ask.
"Well, um..." he says, hesitating. "I guess you could say I failed a test."
"Test?"
He sighs. "Had to label the states of America."
I scoff. "That's stupid. Maybe that's the only way he can get you tuned up."
He shrugs his shoulders. "Maybe."
While Vin does the tune up, I carefully put my maps away while also reminding Vin that he needs a haircut.
Once Dakota is finished, we dismiss him and he goes back to his Master.
"That was close," Vin sighs. "We can't have the plans that close to someone else again. I don't really like Dakota's Master, so he can't find out."
"Well I don't think Dakota would tell him," I reply. "He seemed...careful?"
Vin holds both of his hands up and laughs. "Just being cautious."
