Ten years have passed since the war between the skylands ended, and each one has recovered, each in their own way. Rapid industrialisation, the development of a revolutionary piece of technology or art style, peace seems to reign. However, there are still those who are bitter about the result of the war, and the humiliation they received as a result. These people have wormed their way into their respective governments, planting ideas in politicians' heads, slowly building up the tension. What was once minor resentment was turned to an underlying, bitter hatred, which could inevitably spark another war. But what of the innocent bystanders? Those who know are dealt with - no chances can be taken. Foreigners are randomly arrested - the people cannot go to war with a skyland they do not hate. Metal and fuel is stockpiled - for obvious reasons. Observing these, some people would not pay it any mind. You are not some people. You suspect things. A government suspects you. And they don't like to be suspicious.
So what will you do, when the pilots come for you, and anyone else who even suspects something big is going down? Stand and die? Or fly, fly away, and live to tell your tale?
Hello, and welcome to my humble little RP. Now, let's get a few things straight here:
·The technology is steampunk, with the exception of vehicles. Those use petrol, and the like.
·Vehicles are ones similar to those used in WW2 - as are weapons equipped to them.
·Engineers won't necessarily have their own plane, and pilots won't necessarily be well-versed in the internal workings of a plane. After all, just because you own a car doesn't mean you're a mechanic, and just because you're a mechanic, that doesn't mean you own a car.
·Speaking of cars, due to there being a lack of land, planes are the cars of this world. If your character is old enough to drive in real life, they're old enough to fly a plane in this RP.
·For the sake of keeping planes running, fuel is cheap and can be bought nearly everywhere. But that's no excuse to waste it.
Signup form
Name: Very important.
Age: Anything equal to or above the legal driving age in your country of residence.
Gender: No Patrick, mayonnaise is not a gender. Horse radish is not a gender either.
Appearance: Text or a picture is fine with me. If it's text, make sure you're thorough - I want as clear an image as possible of your character.
Personality: How does your character act?
Home Skyland: Make your own, or with the original creator's permission, use somebody else's. Make sure to tell us whether they won or lost the war, what their current state is, and what they're notable for. Remember, just because somebody's Skyland produces high-calibre planes, don't think your homeland can't. Any additional information would be appreciated.
Occupation: Pilot or engineer. Pilots fly, engineers maintain and upgrade planes. Both are vital to the other. If you choose to be highly proficient in engineering, you can't fly. If you choose to be an ace pilot, your knowledge of mechanics is limited to what the buttons do. And if you can do both, you're just about competent at each respective trade. If you can't fly, don't fret - someone'll give you a lift.
Plane (if applicable): Remember, World War Two. No commercial crafts. Feel free to give it different name, should you wish.
Engineering Speciality (if applicable): We can't let pilots have ALL the fun now, can we? Aside from maintaining aircraft, you can specialise in one other field of engineering - if it's mechanical, you can know it.
History: Optional, but it'd be nice if you put it down.
Other: Have I missed out anything you want to put down?
My Form
Name: Adam Johnson
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Standing at a height that is considerably average for his age, Adam is built slimly, with sports seemingly out of the question. He's healthy, yes, but not in any shape to do anything athletic. His raven hair reaches down to approximately halfway down his neck, although the fringe is constantly trimmed to disallow his pale, ice-blue eyes from being hindered. He is often spotted wearing mild, pale or dark colours, not wishing to stand out too much, preferring to blend in with the crowd. Most commonly worn is his white button-up shirt with the top button undone for comfort, the kind often worn by the stereotypical office worker. He is partial to wearing navy-blue denim jeans, the whole thing rounded off with a pair of black velcro trainers.
Personality: A mystery wrapped in an enigma, coated with intrigue and sent to the little-known village of Riddle, Adam's mind is one not easily figured out. Quiet, reserved and deep-thinking one moment, then cunning and cut-throat the next, his mood can change in but the blink of an eye, though a catalyst is often needed to stimulate his hotpot of emotions. For the most part, he is often the brain behind everything - while people may be fighting and toiling, he sits back, and plays the game of life, though treating a lot of people as pawns. That is not to say he cannot feel compssion, however. No, he actually does possess a basic sense of humanity, in the sense that he understands what makes a person tick, and why he should feel even the slightest bit of mercy. This notwithstanding, he tries to appear trustworthy, but with a slight, yet undeniable air of debonair and sadism.
Home Skyland: Anderlia. Anderlia is renowned throughout the skylands as an industrial giant, producing revolutionary steam technology, and forwarding the vehicular industry at an alarming rate. They were the winners of the war, but they barely managed to scrape by - this prompted their rapid industrialisation.
Occupation: Competent pilot - not an ace, but enough to nullify being an engineer.
Plane (if applicable): Sputterflare. This is the second in the line of Sputterflare models, their main purpose being for military use. However, Adam's father had some contacts in the AARCF (Anderlia Air Rescue and Combat Force), meaning an outdated model could be bought for a modest sum. And, with the weapons disabled and the engine toned down for civilian use, a Sputterflare came into his possession.
Engineering Speciality (if applicable): N/A
History: Having been at the age of three when the war started, and not really paying much attention to what was going on everywhere, the effects of the war and most of its events were largely lost on the boy. Irrespective of this, he had always had a huge admiration of pilots, and aspired to be able to fly as well as they could one day. And, with his father's engineering assistance, Adam managed to learn how to fly competently - if he concentrates, he can even do a basic stunt or two. Throughout all of his life, his mother had never showed up - both his father and him accepted she was dead, and had died years ago, but Adam's father never specified a reason, constantly changing the subject whenever it was brought up.
Other: An event in the war has left Adam's father with a fear of flying - this will be shown in due course.
