It has been 18 years since King Gabriel's industrial revolution changed the world.
We have entered an age of steam-power, magitech and inventions both wondrous and terrifying. The dazzling jewel of the empire, Iwaku City stands at the heart of industry, culture, fashion and exploration.
These are exciting times to live in.
But trouble waits around the corner...
Our story begins a year after the death of King Gabriel. The greedy Emperor Paorou-Sama of the Eastern Empire has been driven back across the ocean, and the rebel Prince Asmodeus has been killed. With peace restored, Prince Rory has abdicated his rightful claim to the throne and passed the crown to Lady Diana of the House of Moonwings.
A new age has begun. Diana has recruited the best and brightest minds to assist her rule. This League of Extraordinary Moderators are keeping an eye on Iwaku and watching for threats from without and within.
And meanwhile, somewhere in the heart of Iwaku City, Lady Lycan of the Shifters Foundation has made it known that she is recruiting for a very special expedition...
<table align=center><tr><td width=220>League</td><td width=340>Shifters</td><td width=190>Underworld</td></tr><tr><td width=218>The Iwakuan Upper Class. Members of the League are aristocrats and entrepreneurs with access to the finest technology. They are often employed by the Queen to come up with inventions or investigate criminal activities. Many have steam-powered servants and airships at their disposal. They live in lavish houses and are accustomed to the noble life.</td><td width=357>The Iwakuan Middle Class. Shifters get their name from their profession: the shifting of goods. They are merchants, pilots and guns for hire. Many come from the Old West and live for adventure. The Shifter Foundation, funded by the generous donations of Lady Lycan, take a particular interest in the collection or rare animals from remote parts of the world. This class does not have the advanced technology of the League, but they are often able to salvage parts and piece together whatever kit they need. The Shifter Creed is adventure, resourcefulness and tidy profit.</td><td width=181>The Iwakuan Lower Class. The Underworld is the name for the seedy backstreets of Iwaku, where disreputable outcasts hide from authority. Many are cursed with afflictions that defy modern science. They have no technology, but make up for this with strange and inhuman abilities.</td></tr><tr><td width=218>Anyone in this faction may have access to advanced weapons, mechanical servants and luxury travel. You must also live the life of a noble person, attending parties, meeting the Queen and entertaining guests. You may not have any magical powers, unless specifically explained by technology. You must be human.</td><td width=357>Anyone in this faction may have access to magic or technology, but neither in advanced form. Your equipment is salvaged or patched together and your magic is very slight. You must be an adventurer or mercenary of some sort, willing to take a leap for the chance of profit. You begin this roleplay as either a part of Lady Lycan's Foundation or as someone curious about it. You must be human.</td><td width=181>Anyone in this faction has only basic/cheap Victorian-era equipment. You are also cursed with a magical affliction. You live a tortured life, like the Ripper, the Wolfman, Jekyll and Hyde, or Dracula. You can be non-human, as long as it is explained as a dark curse or mutation.</td></tr></table>
There is no character sheet for this roleplay. You play as yourself - i.e. your Iwaku username, or a character from the Iwaku Mythos.
Simply state your interest here and give me an idea of what your Iwaku Character is like and what faction they are with.
The genre is Victorian Era Steampunk. It's about feisty adventure, fantabulous inventions and glamorous parties. Please keep this in mind and respect the atmosphere of the story. Any characters that are ridiculously out of place will be snarked to death.
