So, can you okay us to go post in the thread, or are we waiting for a grand re-opening? Because I want to start punching nerds the adventures of the Mongoose....
Although, I am curious as to how Beast Dancing works as a form of fighting. And if I could do a rewrite where James is an automaton named Mongoose >_>

Is it ok if Zach, though while not a Beast Dancer himself, has learned their craft? I don't want to make him too OP, and I'll stress that he still prefers ranged combat to close quarters, but I just think it would make sense. He would have grown up with Beast Dancers after all, and being an Outrider he'd want to give himself and possible advantage available to him against any threat he might encounter. That's not to say he could win in a close quarters fight with an actual Beast Dancer, but he could hold his own against most other opponents.

Hm... he might know how to fight, but I doubt he knows Beast Dancing. My feeling on it is that Beast Dancing is something that takes years of practice to learn and longer to master. While he might be able to hold his own in melee, I doubt he could standup to someone who's a trained beast dancer

Ship: Either
Appearance Coming soon
Personality: A cold callus man Isaac's world view is brutal and uncaring. Hardened by his life, training and career he no longer places any significant value on human life, something not unexpected for a man of his profession. He sees people as only tools and pawns to be manipulated to further his own eventual goals. He is a consummate professional, every statement he makes is measured and controlled, his actions calmly calculated and remorseless.
He is capable of holding only two opinions on people, contempt or admiration. He admires those that embrace the barbarity of the world, realising that the only thing that matters is having the strength and power to do what you want. This results in a limited amount of admiration for those he is sent to track down and kill, especially if they are pirates, but that doesn?t interfere with his job, nor affect his actions. For everyone else he holds little distain and revulsion though he masks it well when required.
Since the completion of his lifelong task he has relaxed slightly and started to re-examine his life, and on the occasional more self contemplative moments he catches himself wondering if his contempt and hatred for humanity isn?t just another disguise he wears. Feeling empty due to the completion of lives work he seeks to cut ties from his past self and start anew, but he does need the money and one doesn?t ever retire from the Chuno Ggun.
Externally he presents whatever personality he thinks would be best to accomplish his aims; while he is most certainly not charismatic he is able to adapt himself with relative ease to fit into most social situations.
Biography: Coming sooner
I am aware there is another character by the name of Isaac but i'd apreciate being able to keep the name allthough i'll change if required. The rest will be done later today if not tomorrow. Would apreciate any feedback.
Yo, I dunno if this is relevant, but I'm gonna be leaving for the weekend, but I should be back Sunday afternoon (EST). When I do get back, I better have a message saying that Drustan got accepted...
Yeah, James isn't near hardcore enough for the last option, though if he loses his arm to the pirates, he will only become stronger. Good thing to know...

That would require getting within arms reach of Zach without getting an arrow threaded though you eye. Many have tried.
Edit: If it's the sort of thing that requires years of training, as well as mastery of any kind of spiritual malarkey, Zach's really not got the right sort of temperament for it anyway.
I updated the bios on Horatio and Lanna. Horatio has now been fired off of his old ship for destroying it and is now reassigned, and Lanna went off for a little bit to gather parts.
Name: Horatio Morgan
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Culture: NeoVictorian High Class
Background: Inventor
Ship: HMS Invincible
Appearance: Horatio wears a traditional coat and top hat combo, with a ring on his left hand index finger for closer inspection on parts. He carries an array of equipment in his trunk, which he carries everywhere. His most distinguished features are his baby blue eyes, which have a spark rarely seen in the oppressive lands he hails from.
Personality: Highly eccentric, he loves making new gadgets and gizmos for people. Though he is normally making weaponry upgrades and doodads for scopes and he attempts to hold his sighs for requests such as those.
Biography: Born to high society in the Everglades, despite inventors being a mostly illegal practice, Horatio managed got away with quite a bit. He detested his life as a ruler, wanting to simply play with new toys and have a bit of fun. His time as a noble ended after his second time being threatened to sent to the change cage. The only place he could tinker with new guns and go without persecution was...the army! It was time to leave.
Horatio packed his bags and headed straight for the military as a weapons inspector. Soon, he his little upgrades and updates became popular with the soldiers, seeing a survival rate increase he was put on permanent duty as a weapons manufacturer. Inventors are still illegal, but in his current position he can do almost anything he wants. He commands a great deal of respect from those around him despite his weird personality due to his life saving inventions.
That said, an invention gone wrong managed to blow a hole in the fuel duct of his last ship, damaging it beyond repair. He has now been demoted and sent to Helium City to redeployment. Needless to say, Horatio is very bitter about his reassignment but such is the way of life.
Name: Lanna Kea-sight
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Culture: Skyfolk
Background: Inventor
Ship: The Mermaid
Appearance: Lanna is leather clad with gadgets and gizmos all over her suit and goggles. They serve a wide variety of functions though some are just for show. She is famous for never needing anything to store her equipment in because her clothes have slots for all of it. When her magnifying goggles are off, you can see her black eyes and green tinted red hair. It flies back due to her almost constant use of her goggle cap.
Personality: Highly curious and secretive, she takes requests on rare occasions but mostly sits in her office all day going back and forth with tons of papers and creating gadgets to help her or someone she thinks needs it. Most of the steam and explosive weaponry on the ship was made by her at some point and then mass produced elsewhere. She has a bad case for mumbling and being dismissive, though when she does talk it is with an almost unmatched conviction.
Biography: Born to some unknown people of unknown origins, she was discovered an orphan at an early age and brought upon The Mermaid by a part of her crew. She was given the name Kea-sight after the highly intelligent bird due to her constant poking and prodding at things to figure out how they work. She very quickly began immersing herself in studies and came out with her first invention at a young age. A cattle prod of sorts, with a non conductive end at the back and an arcing front that only requires a portable power source and lasts for about three hours. It is weaponized to stun people and was her first attempt at electric weapons.
Fast forward a few years later and now steam weaponry is becoming standard among the crew.
She hopped off the Mermaid a year ago in order to improve her own inventions, experimenting in new places and gaining new friends. With the latest information on the Mermaid's run in with Imperials, she feels more than a little compelled to come back and get some sweet vengeance.
While it is common for steam powered guns to exist, these guns fire steam in concentrated bursts like bullets but in a shotgun blast made for close combat. They don't kill, but they subdue like nothing else and leave their victims painfully burned. Their low maintenance cost and safety on a helium filled balloon made them especially popular with the defense boys. She also works on smaller requests for personalized items, though has recently lost all interest in other people as another inventor is surfacing up himself and looking quite intelligent.
Name: Isaac Lee Ring
Age: Early thirties
Gender: Male
Culture: Neovictorian
Background: Chuno Ggun
Ship: Either
Appearance Isaac is an unremarkable man; standing at a height of five foot eleven he is a little taller than average but not much. He has a pale complexion with jet black hair cut to a practically short length. His eyes are green but frequently bloodshot and he appears to have perpetual bags under his eyes. He has no specific attire, instead changing his clothing to fit best with whatever situation he anticipates.

Biography: Born in Old Borealis to a wealthy family Isaac should have led a life of relative comfort. His father was a major landowner and ran a number of factories giving Isaac the best possible start in life. However his early childhood was not the image of Victorian domestic bliss. His father sought an heir to his industrial empire and relentlessly pushed his son opening his eyes to the true nature of the world. His mother on the other hand was a kind compassionate woman who cared deeply for her son; forced into a marriage against her will she tried to prevent her son from turning into his father.
As Isaac aged he was allowed some insight into the workings of his fathers business, and he slowly prepared himself to take his fathers mantel. One day upon inspecting one of ledgers Isaac noticed a slight error in the accounting; he entered his fathers study to inquire about it but, halted at the door upon hearing a discussion inside. Listening in he overheard talks of the collapse of his family business, and more worrying still plans for the sale of all of his property including his son into slavery in return for a quiet, secretive and undisturbed retirement.
Upon hearing this Isaac fled the estate and lost himself in the crowds of Old Borealis, without a second thought to looking after his mother. His momentary guilt however was soon replaced by the more immediate concern of needing shelter and food. He took to the streets and although initially rebuffed by others soon ingratiated himself with a small gang of underage delinquents.
As the years passed a burning desire for revenge grew in Isaac. His resentment at the way he and his mother had been treated and the ease with which he had dismissed them continued to anger him. He made some inquires about his father but turned up nothing. Deciding that he needed more information he sought out the only people he thought could help, the Chuno Ggun.
The Chuno Ggun readily accepted Isaac into their ranks, he had the determination and willpower that they were looking for as well as the acquired skill of being able to blend in, in short the ideal assassin recruit. They offered him the training and skills that he needed and Isaac trained tirelessly to master them so that he could kill his father.
Isaac spent the best part of the next decade working for the Chuno Ggun. He killed on their command and in return used their contacts to search for his father. Isaac dedicated every waking moment to tracking down his father and honing his skill becoming a master duellist and fencer, skilled in one on one combat but less capable against larger groups. Eventually he received the information he had been waiting for, his father had been located in helium city, living a life of relative luxury in one of the wealthier quarters of the city.
Upon arriving in Helium City he set out strait to the house, before loudly knocking on the door. It was answered by an elderly woman whom he barge passed before demanding to see the master of the house. Somewhat perturbed she showed him in to a small room at the top of the house where he finally came face to face with his father. The man was old and weak but that did nothing to halt Isaac who marched up to him and stared deep into his eyes, before drawing a concealed knife and drawing it across the throat of the man he hated so much.
As he turned to leave he stumbled into the elderly woman who had opened the door to him. She glanced down at the knife in his hands before looking back up at him and laying a hand on his face. She held him there and said in a frail voice "My son what have you become?". He looked at her for the briefest of moments before storming out of the house, leaving his mother, and his former life behind.
Weeks later he was back in Helium City, on the orders of the Chuo Ggun, this time to track down a pirate. He had been given little information other than that she was a former member, she went by the name of Sheska, and that the ship she worked on had been spotted by and Imperial frigate in vicinity of Helium City.
He probably comes across as a tad sociopathic but i am hoping for him to develop as the game progresses, and come to terms with becoming the monster that his mother always feared he might turn into.

Culture: Misbegotten
Background: Chuno Ggun
Ship: HMS invincible
Appearance: A built man Mack stands at around 6?6?, with a pale complexion and a well-built defined body. He has black hair but prefers to keep it cut short for practical reasons. Like his parents and siblings Mack suffers from mutations, mutations which make him an unnerving person to look at. His left arm is mutated into a vicious looking claw with sharp talons and spines jetting out of the side of it. His talons have proven useful as his role as a Chuno Ggun as they can cut through all but the hardest of materials. Besides his claw Mack has thick armored skin which gives him a better layer of protection from firearms melee weapons and the elements. Apart from these mutations Mack wears combat trousers, tough leather boots and a vest (however due to his armored skin he often goes without it).
Personality: An outsider, Mack is violent and quick to anger and is not a person who many want to get on the wrong side of and if they do the results and brutal to say the least. Although if left on his own, Mack is generally a quiet person who prefers reading to anything else. This is a trait that originates from his troubled and violent child hood.
Biography: Mack was born into an upper class family, is father was an officer in the imperial navy but was killed in action shortly before Mack?s birth and his mother was a notable singer in city. For his mother to birth a mutant was the subject of much controversy and radical onto her and several of her family had suggested to her that she should give the new born baby away or even abandon it. But her love for her new born son was too great and she kept him and promised that she would raise him so he could try and have a normal life despite his affliction.
Due to his family?s fortune Mack could afford a good education in one of the city?s top schools, but for him it was just another place to be pointed at and mocked for his mutations. He tried to escape this by burying himself in reading but still his class mates would not give him a break and one day he refused to take the constant bullying anymore and began hitting out and brutally beating any of his class mates who made fun of him. He was quickly thrown out of school because of this but his mother as always managed to calm him down and understood why he had done it and quickly found a tutor who was willing to teach him.
When Mack turned 15 his mother died suddenly in her sleep she had no money to leave him and when she died he had to sell the house to afford a proper burial for her. So with no money or home Mack was thrown into the slums of the city to be with the rest of his kind. Life in the slums was hard and everyday was a fight for survival, but due to his mutations Mack thrived in the harshness and quickly got the name ?the claw? as he would kill anybody who got in his way with his deadly mutation. Word of his exploits reached the government of the city and Mack was quickly recruited to serve in the Chuno Ggun and began hunting down the empires enemy?s on one of the feared black ships.
He enjoyed this savaged life for a while but eventually the sin?s and crimes he had committed against the innocent took its toll and during the night he fled from his unit and made his way into the wild to somehow atone for what he had done. He quickly began attacking and killing bandits or animals that threatened travelers and earned himself a reputation for helping those in need.
However he was not able to run for ever and was recently caught by imperial marines. He thought they would kill him but due to his high combat skills he was offered to take part in a special mission ordered by the emperor himself, if he done this he would be pardoned and would be free to go. Not wanting to miss out on this offer Mack agreed and began to make his way towards Helium city to serve aboard HMS Victory.
So heres my man. I hope, if chosen to preform my duty that I shall do my utmost to do so. Bastian may only have an 'advisory role'. But ones input of his position shall be of great value to the Captain.
Feedback is welcomed and quite necessary. Please review my character and we'll sit down and have a chat as gentlemen.
Bastian is rather tall being six foot two. A strong posture and broad shoulders. He sports a van dyke for facial hair and swept back blond hair fitted into a ponytail. Dark blue eyes. His clothes consist of a cloak over a long coat. Silver plate shoulder guards with gold trim. His boots are highly pointed and quite the oddity. His gloves match his coat.
Some other odds and ends you can see in the picture. Some you can't. He has a knife in his right boot and two pistols holstered on the back of his belt.
Personality: Strategic, that is Bastian to a word. He wants everything to go to plan, as planned, the first time. He is adaptable to unforeseen obstacles though. Some don't call him strategic, they call him ruthless in pursuit and pleasure. A man who you don't get in the way of. What Bastian thinks of himself. He thinks he's doing his job as he's told and to do it as efficiently and effectively as possible. He's also a gentleman about it all, rarely does his temper surface at any point.
Biography: The blood of House Lycan. Bastian has been raised to be an administrator for his Majesty as his father before him has. Wether it be stopping a political plot to making sure the palace has hot water. Whatever is asked of him it is his duty to follow out the order or to stop a threat.
Bastian was raised in and around the Palace. He was tutored in maths and sciences. Politics and management. Any and all of what he would need when he came of age was afforded. It was a lavish life, though a great expectation was demanded of him. Thus not so lavish as he had hardly a moment to his own. Times which he can relax at ease are a great pleasure to him now. Bastion at least had a few friends growing up at the palace. Torig and Lady Feylis, two his own age. The boy to be a captain of his own warship ship and the daughter of an aristocrat to always live life in a Garden of Eden. They have kept their friendship to the day and those two actually wound of marrying, to his comical bewilderment. Torig has even served him on his escapades across the continent and he always requests the man when he needs require.
At eighteen Bastian formally swore his duty to the king, to be his righteous hand when called upon. He takes his oath seriously enough, but he's plenty up for serving his own interests if he pleases. As a sign of his oath he was given a ring to serve as a writ of office. A badge which can net him privileges if he shows it to the right person. Its quite a boon in a need of 'resources'.
Bastion has served these last sixteen years to the king and his cronies. And again he has been called to serve his majesty directly. Word was sent to him that he was to join the H.M.S Invincible. The ship was in repair and refit after an air battle with pirates. An incident that did not sit well with his highness when it reached his ears, thus for his sending. Bastian is to make sure the Invincible completes it's mission (Whatever it may be). Details were, sparse as he was being tossed out the door, but he was to be in an advisory role.
He now stands before the ship, orders in hand and luggage towed. To serve his duty. Whatever that may be...
