Yo, Hobo and fruck. That's a little too inconsiderate to submit your character and then do nothing. If you "cant be fucked" (sucks for you), or your "RPG2K3 skills are horrid," at least promise to make something.

EDIT:

[spoiler=Just to get the train rolling on the bios.]

Name: Master Edwin
Position: Enemy
Bio: Head of an underground syndicate in a small area of the Kuggstadt region. His group, the Falconry, are known for their plainly marked weaponry and their uniformity. It isn't hard to spot a member in the streets and people tend to avoid eye contact. The people that work for the Falconry are labeled as the poor, selling themselves to the devil to survive the crisis that befalls their land. Edwin has never been seen in public, only by a few wrapped into the Falconry's work. The Falconry's activities range from attacks on various rebellion groups and the theft of their weapons. The Falconry also claim to be a charity for those that are in need of support, but many are skeptical of the methods of obtaining the money.

Many rumors surround the Falconry, mostly around its purpose. Some claim it is a strategic rebellion, by first destroying existing groups and recruiting their members and weapons. Others claim it is a large gang designed to take control of the surrounding area using the public itself. But the most paranoid believe it was construction under outside forces to keep down resistances.

Edwin himself has been called many things, ranging from crazy to mentally insufficient. He is not, however, normal. The people that follow him fear him, not for power, but for the actions he takes in attacking rebel groups, most cause many casualties on both sides. Many are astonished when they hear of the number of times Edwin has been shot by his own Falconry. Many of the shooters remain untouched in the Falconry without punishment.

[spoiler=Bluhman's (Or his Steampunk Equivalent) Bio]

Name: Alfrod Javerte
Position: Ally or Enemy. Really depends on the direction the game takes.
Bio: Alfrod Javerte is a hardworking lawman of the Talanchon empire. Perhaps not the most organized officer in the ranks, he has become a very individualistic inspector for the Talanchon empire, and has witnessed many a battle, and has gained much experience in the use of guns and agility in the heat of battle... At the cost of his left hand, of course. He can do quick draws with his gun to catch opponents off guard, can sharpshoot with his pistol, as well as any other weapon he might prefer to use, and can even use his mechanical hand as a weapon in itself, thanks to its very powerful gripping power, and thin, blade-like fingers.

Above all things, he places his devotion to only two things; the Talanchon law, and the Church. In this aspect, he is extremely loyal to his allies and the empire, as well as truthful, and especially controlled in the way of sinful habits, such as drinking and sex. However, he does seem to smoke a lot. He is also quite patient, and an incredible interrogator. However, he is faulted by an overwhelming sense of pride in his work; almost refusal to believe that he, or the Talanchon order, are wrong in any way. Simply put, to him, the law is the final line; how one relates to it judges their ultimate fate by his hand. With this in mind, he can seem quite cold-hearted, imprisoning and publicly executing many a person who might have been framed for a crime, or perhaps were too poor or uneducated to resort to doing anything else... A moment of epiphany could either completely transform his view of the world and its people, or drive him over the edge.

As for more intimate aspects of the character, he likes to spend free time performing sonatras on piano, often recording them for playback on a phonograph. At some point, he used to have a wife, and two children; the wife, Carol, died shortly after giving birth to the eldest sibling son, Akiran. At the time of the story, Akiran is attending a boarding school, learning how to engineer steam technology into vehicles and weapons and whatnot, while the younger daughter or Alfrod, Beth, was sent off to live under guardianship of the law as a court ward, since he could not afford to keep her at home fed with the high costs of sending his son to study such a prestigious art.[/spoiler]

Hmm...I'll try to make some resources, but I can't promise anything too terribly great.
Or, I could design some skills and help write it.

Whatever needs doing. It's just if someone gave me the project for a chapter, they'd never get it back, as like I said, I can't program for **** in RPGM2K3, as yesterday was the first time I seriously looked at it.
So I guess that means I'm in. Sorta.

If you'd like, I'd be willing to design some custom tilesets for you guys. I learned through imitating Mac and Blue, so imitating Theo should be the same concept. Also, I'll have a steampunk Fortet if you'd like as well :)

You might as well. I know I'm not up to the task.

The tilesets are very... Impressionistic (term for you artsy-smartsy people). Use of optical color rather than real color. Very much fun! I shall practice.

Well its not that i cant be fucked, more that i know when i get something like this it will die. I work over LOOONNNGGG periods of time. Anyway, it would just be me submitting my character for use in anyones chapter if they choose to add me. I'll wait to see what prp has to say i guess.

Great bios Ed and Bluhman.

And Fortet, that would be much appreciated. If you can make something fit then by all means do so.

Fruckert and Hobo. You don't need to make long chapters or have any complicated coding in it really. I remember that some parts of the first chaingame were rather short and were pretty much just running through a 2 floored dungeon after some talking. You can do the same.

The first part might get a bit long. I'll make it up to the point where that story synopsis ended. Then people can choose to follow parts of either of the protagonists' struggle against the Nation.

Love it! I like how you actualy used your name this time. I'd half thought it would be CM or Case 17 you'd end up using.

I originally would have used Case 17, but Father Edward (Edwin in this world) and his legitimates seemed easier to fit in, plus then I could be a minor villain. You know how much I've wanted that.

I'd like to contribute a chapter, though I don't want to be the first person. I can't program, and my RM2K3 skills are a tad rusty, but nothing a couple tutorials can't fix, I say!

That's the spirit! I'll probably add a min STS to this and a summon system so I can Rusty in there as a character. Let's not let this die like my thread did, even if it is only temporary dead.

It is?

I'm more or less waiting for more people to sign up for chapters so I can make a plan for how many chapters we would need to make.
And resources of course. I'd love to get my hands on some resources.
