Premise: The Players are journeymen Warcsters who are part of a council where leaders of Cygnar, Khador, The Protectorate of Menoth, Retribution of Scyrah, mercenaries and even the Dwarves of Ruhl are meeting to try and combine arms against the quickly-growing Cryx threat. However, as such an alliance is unprecedented and untested, many in the Iron Kingdoms are skeptical.

This is where the players come in. They are a diplomatic fighting force dispatched to speak with various leaders and factions, as well as defend themselves and fight those when necessary. Equipped with 'jack and gear, they will be sent everywhere, and at times called back to the headquarters in the Thornwood.

WARCASTER

Player: @Mythy the Dragon-Wolf
Name: Arcus Trevethan
Age: 27
Race: Human
Faction of Origin: Cygnar
Appearance:
8ab72b7ebc0c081af241ae60fda5c9c5--steampunk-cosplay-steampunk-clothing.jpg

Gear: Medium Warcaster Armor, 'jack Wrench, Bonded Long Gun

Personality: Arcus is generally a gentle, calm man with a friendly demeanor and smile. He is kind and charitable, jumping into a fight is often one of his last resorts. However, he cannot abide mistreatment, going out of his way to help people and intimidate bullies. And any mention of the Cryx makes his blood run cold, and he will move to hunt them down unless someone brings him to his right mind.

History: Arcus is the middle child of the Trevethan family, a long ling of mechaniks and military men. As he grew he was taught the way of mechanika; how to repair and maintain the Laborjacks of their fishing town and even build and retrofit. The first 'jack he built himself would later become his own warjack, named Alvran.

However he wouldn't get that name for a few years. His ability as a Jack Marshall wasn't shown until a Cryxan invasion of their coastal home. His older bother was a Long Gunner assigned to militia in the town, and he fell in battle protecting his younger siblings.

Seeing his brother die brought on a fit of rage in Arcus, who suddenly told his laborjack to attack. Picking up a rod of metal, he charged against a bonejack, smashing the enemy. At the same time, he took up his brother's rifle and fired on the advancing thralls.

Once the fight was over, the laborjack was broken and battered, and the commander had noticed the youth and his sibling's ability. When asked if they would come to Caspia for training, Arcus jumped at the chance - on the condition his 'jack's cortex was salvaged and saved.

Six years have passed since then, and now Arcus - knowing the Cryx threat would only become stronger - jumped at the chance to join the council. He had fought the other factions and knew they all had to come together to beat the coming Cryx invasion back.

WARJACK

Name: Alvran
Chassis: Custom Light Warjack
Armament: Two Open Fists ; Light Warjack Sword.
Appearance: About 8ft tall, seeming a bit sleeker than most other 'jacks, and with a memorial to his brother engraved on the inside of the chestplate.
Personality: Alvran, named after Arcus' older brother, is beginning to take on a personality similar to said sibling. He is protective of his caster, kind and curious. He also at times serves as the ground for Arcus, making a huff of steam whenever the younger needs a bit of a nudge back to reality.

WARCASTER

Player: @Quiet One
Name: Aron Trevethan
Age: 21
Race: Human
Faction of Origin: Cygnar
Appearance:
02f9a7c33c0aa2365bbeab9ed52e710e.jpg

Gear: Light Warcaster armor, trench knife, Scattergun
Personality: Curious, experimental, and quick-witted. Aron always sees at least three solutions to every problem, and enjoys making the most risky one work. Can be a bit of a prankster, using his lightning magic to charge objects and give a harmless shock. Even with his talents, he's always looked up to his big brothers, who were always stronger than him but never lorded it over him. While he doesn't enjoy having the least strength, he more than makes up for it with his relationship with Azul.
History: Aron grew up alongside his brothers in their provincial village. Things were peaceful, and while Arcus formed his own bond with his custom-built Laborjack, Aron formed a bond with a preexisting one that had been forgotten for years. Aron tinkered with its cortex and refit it, and was actually able to restart the machine with a blank cortex. The name "Azul" was already inscribed on its chest, and Aron saw no need to change its name. From there he tried to find a purpose for it, but as an older model of laborer it couldn't compete with Arcus' 'jack. It too was weaker than those around it, and for that reason Aron felt his kinship with it grow.

When the Cryxan attacked Aron was at an immediate disadvantage. When he tried fighting his right leg was broken badly. His Laborjack was standing nearby, but hadn't been given any orders, and wasn't built for combat. Aron reached out for it and the next thing he knew he saw himself laying on the floor with the Cryxan towering over him. It was like he was inside Azul, and the two moved as one, flattening the Cryxan, using a door as a shield, and finding a post it could use as a lance.

Azul lost an arm in the battle, but with the other one Aron used it to carry him to his brother, where he explained how he had controlled it after returning to his own body.

After mourning the loss of their brother, Arcus and Aron went to learn how to master their skills. Aron's broken leg eventually recovered, but left him with a slight limp he couldn't escape. Nothing debilitating or painful, but an obvious stunting of his gait whenever he walked or ran.

WARJACK

Name: Azul Sentry
Chassis: Lancer with custom built-in handholds along its legs and back.
Armament: Two open fists; lance and shield
Appearance:
31085_Lancer_2011_WEB.jpg

(with the additional handholds)
Personality: Azul seems slightly faster than most Warjacks. Not just on the battlefield, but also in regards to wit. The war machine has shown signs of creativity on the battlefield, and it's uncertain if it's because of Aron's direct control or not. Sometimes it gives the illusion of acting independently, stopping Aron if he goes in what it deems the wrong direction on the field. Azul has one unusual feature when fighting that has been displayed both with and without Aron - the ability to roll its large body across a field.

Just a quick check-up on you and your characters. It would be nice to be able to begin perhaps this weekend. :)
 
Plan to have at least a WiP up later today. Researching merc jacks to decide on the best one.
