Well, I was hesitant about this at first, but then I realized it might just be fun to put myself out there and make myself a fool.
Calling all Inventors, Nobles, and Citizens to the first Role Call of the Steampunk guild. Victorian era flair with steam-powered contraptions, clockwork creations, zeppelins, and more corsets than you can shake a cane at.
Whoever is interested, raise your hand/cane/monocle/steam-powered-Gatling-gun.

I'm not exactly knowledgable about the steampunk/inventor thing, but I just wanted to say that this would be an awesome guild. ^^ Good luck in getting members! ^^

I second that statement. It'd be kinda like a techno version of the mage guild. But not as powerful and military as Space Fleet. I'm not sure if I could handle a 3rd guild personally, but I'll be sure to think about it. Maybe try making a new character as Keng is too busy with Spacefleet and awkward feet shuffling with the pirates.
Good luck with getting members.

Well, I for one, once I completely comprehend the guild will join. I'm trying the Jack of All Trades route.

[glow=red,2,300]I think I just might create another character for this one.[/glow] Name: Adeline Spencer
Age: 14
Appearance: Human, petite, with pale ivory skin and long blonde hair.
Outfit: She likes Gothic Lolita outfits, you know the deal. Petticoats, lace, ribbons, stockings. Wholly impractical for her line of work, but try telling her that. She's usually seen wearing the stereotypical Goth-Loli headband, with a different color ribbon depending on her outfit.
History: The only child of a famous airship engineer, Cid Spencer. At the age of 3, she started showing an affinity for machines and water-magic. At the age of 7, she built her own working airship model. By the age of 12, she had built the full-scale deal. When she had learned all that her father could teach her, she boarded her best airship (the Luna Moth) and ventured in search of a new master.
Personality: Fairly demure. She tends to not let her emotions show, which in conjuction with her outfit, makes her seem like one of those spooky children you see in the movies. She has a very warm heart, but it is hard to earn her trust. She seems much older than her years and has this disconcerting stare that unsettles most adults. Still is a little spoiled.
Weapons: She has a hollow dagger-handle that contains a fair amount of water. Using magic, she can turn this water into a dagger with a sharp, icy edge. Her favored weapon, however, is a steam-powered pistol. Can carry 6 shots, is light and practical, and is painted black to match most of her outfits.
Abilities: Can channel water, but needs a source of water nearby (can't pull it out of the air like Katara or anything). Can freeze or boil water at will. (Useful for a steam engineer.) It's possible that she uses her powers to keep herself clean while working, though she has neither confirmed nor denied.
The Luna Moth: Is a zeppelin top strapped to a sailboat bottom with a bunch of bronze pipes coming out the tail that spit out steam when we want to go slow and fire when we need to put the pedal to the metal. I'll describe her better when I'm feeling more poetical. XD

I'll go ahead and join ^^ I just found out about Steampunk recently on my friends Facebook page I'll make a character for this later. I find the stuff pretty cool, and it's funny to think it's been around in a lot of media and I never really knew it was its own trend >.> *raises watch into air*

At first I thought, "nah, not my thing," and then I though, "nah, too much effort" and then I thought, "nah, I'M IN!" I'm currently working on re-vamping my whole persona, so yeah. xD

Better amount of response than I expected! I guess that means I should start thinking up character stuff etc. >.>
Yeah... that's a good idea, it'll allow me to procrastinate on that huge list of stuff I need to get done before tomorrow morning.
<.< >.>

Will there be goggles? Now what would steampunk be without goggles? Then it would just be steam. And wants to be steam anyways?
