Steampunk_World

At the edge of the world lies a place like no other. A wonderous, mysterious place...it had a name once, but that name was long lost to the sands of time. Nowadays it was simply called The City. Built atop a system of underground events, the power brought from their heat and steam lead to advancements seen no where else. Factories and machine shops of every kind. Airships and smog filling the air. Where there was the ultra rich...and then everyone else. The City was full of many wonders, many strangers...and many dangers. Who knows what one could find here?

OOC: If you couldn't guess, profile is just an excuse for a bunch of ladies dressed in steampunk attire! That's not to say the setting can't be fun and the stories can't be interesting! I like stories and details more than anything else, so it's important that that's still a focus. Experiments gone wrong, sky pirates, mysteries in the caverns below. Who knows what could happen. The girls themselves are mainly prey, but who knows what mystical or mechanical creatures lurk in those back alleys and factories. If I'm pred though, it's only for females and herms.

The ladies about town (and yes I know some of the pictures is the same woman, but whatever, she looks cool in different outfits, so different girls) Forgive the picture sizes, I haven't quite learned how to resize yet ^_^


Victoria



Kimiko


A self-appointed “sheriff” of the parts of the City that had long been given up to the lawless. Where city guards were all too easy to bribe and get to look the other way, Kimiko did her best to keep the corruption and gangs from hurting those who were just trying to make a living in the slums.


Tina



Sally


The daughter of a wealthy business man, to call Sally sheltered would be an understatement. Her mother having died in childbirth, her father did his best to seal his only daughter away from the world. Trapped up in her ivory castle in the elite district of the City, Sally longs to see the real world, lost in her books and stories. On the rare occasions she’s allowed out of her home, her bodyguard and watcher, Johanna, is not far behind.


Red



Raven


The way Raven tells it, she’s one of the best pilots in the City. But saying it doesn’t make it so. A member of a flight crew on one of the many cargo airships, Raven is often found around the airfields or the local bar sharing stories of adventure, true or not. Her ego has led to her living a lifestyle that is quite beyond her means, but Raven isn’t above selling her best…assets to a lonely and rich looking tourist she sees upon the airfield.


Captain Samantha Gearbox


Captain of the airship that Raven works on, Samantha ran a tight, but fair ship. So long as her crew showed up sober and got their jobs done, what they did during their down time was their own business. She couldn’t really judge anyway, for she was known to enjoy a few wild nights when her ship was stuck in dock awaiting a new cargo run.


Madame Midnight


Owner of a curiosities shop in the city, mystery followed around Madame Midnight like a love-sick puppy dog. Her shop was full of strange items and artifacts from far off worlds and for the right price, she might sell you one or take one off your hands. Rumors were that she was more than she seemed and knew all the goings and comings of…darker things within the City.


Jessica and Widget


An inventor full of crazy ideas, Jessica had taken her late father’s inheritance and purchased an abandoned warehouse to convert into a full laboratory to act on those ideas. To her surprise, she had found that the warehouse wasn’t so abandoned after all! Living inside it was a young orphan with fiery red hair. The young girl had showed a gift for technical building and so Jessica had adopted the girl and named her Widget. The two have been inseparable ever since.


Susan


Owner of one of the many bars in lower parts of the City, Susan prided herself on making sure her bar was stocked with exotic liquors and spirits from across the world. So renowned was her resources, that it even tempted the elite to sometimes slum it to visit. When she wasn’t behind the bar serving patrons, she could be found on an airship on her way off to some strange new kingdom, chasing a rumor of a new ale that absolutely must be added to her collection.


Johanna


Once a modest businesswoman, Johanna had made a few bad investments and found herself in a tough spot. One of her competitors offered her a way out; become the bodyguard to his daughter Sally and he would pay all her debts. Annoyed but with little choice, Johanna took the offer. Since then what started as a reluctant relationship has turned into a close bond, as Johanna had come to care for young Sally and would do anything to protect her.


Cassie



Kimberly



Captain Rin


The leader of a crew of sky pirates, Rin harassed the airships coming to and from the City. Yet she did not need fear keeping herself hidden, for she only attacked the wealthy and was willing to grease the palms of the less wealthy for some peace and quiet. Rumors of her varied between the horrific and the heroic, depending on the mood you caught her in and where you stood on the social ladder. Just whatever you do, don’t ask her about her eye.


Akira


A gun-for-hire, or at least what she liked to call herself. Really Akira was like so many others in the City slums; doing what she could to keep herself going. Good with a rifle and smart enough not to ask questions, Akira would work for whoever paid her. She was usual found guarding warehouses that she had the sense to not ask what they were storing.


The Doctor


No one knew much about the Doctor. There wasn’t a soul you could find in the City that had even seen her without her mask on. She was definitely a woman judging by her body, but beyond that, she was a mystery. Some said she was a paranoid woman, fearful of disease, others said she was horribly disfigured. All that was for certain, she could cure injuries and illnesses no one else could…if you were willing to risk possibly vanishing as some of her patients have been known to do.


Rey


Humans weren’t the only beings to call the City home. While fewer in number, many Elven resided within the City. Rey was the spokesperson for the Elven within the slums, making sure their voices were heard in what little passed for government. Usually that meant working with the gangs and the crime lords to make sure special needs for her people were met. A firm negotiator, she had a soft spot for her own kind, willing to go to great lengths to ensure their survival.


Miranda


A Veteran of one of the realm’s many wars, Miranda was not quite all there. She was prone to flashbacks and confusion of the past and the present, seeing and talking to long dead friends. She still took her duty to serve quite seriously however, sometimes resorting to vigilantism to protect the most innocent of the slums.


Autumn


A simple waitress (or bar wench if you wanted to be rude) at a tavern down by the docks, Autumn was a girl who was far too nice and sweet for the world she found herself in. Always optimistic and open to helping others, Autumn dreamed of one day saving up enough coin to buy an airship ticket to somewhere, anywhere that was away from the City and its woes.


Amalthea


The City’s domain wasn’t solely confined to the industrial buildings and streets. Outside of the urban was a strange mix of lands. One such portion of the land was a seemingly endless wood, with some smaller settlements on the boundary between the Wood and the City. This was where most of the more mystically inclined members of the City resided and Amalthea was one such individual. Professing to be a “white witch” she would do what she could to heal those who were sick and to help tend to crops. Often the star mark on her forehead would glow when she was casting magic.


Riot


A member of one of the several gangs that resided in the slums and warehouses of the City, Riot was always looking for a fight. She took what she wanted and beat up those she could and didn’t give a shit about anything or anyone but herself. The closest she had to a friend was Jade, the two of them often causing quite a bit of trouble at the local bars together, but with the ever-shifting allegiances of the gangs, they often found themselves at odds as much as they were allies.


Sasha



Anna


A simple shop owner, Anna served her community by fixing the simple gadgets the poor of the City were able to afford. She prided herself on being able to get anything working again, no matter how old or how broken. She made a modest living this way but was known to do a fix for free for some of the most downtrodden in the slums.


Madame Ramona


Living in a tent outside of the City, Madame Ramona spent her life becoming “one” with nature. Though most visitors would say that her becoming one often involved sitting naked in the moonlight, having orgies and getting high off of whatever the latest intoxicant that was grown within the Wood.


Tara


Tara spent most of her days exploring the desert wastes on the outskirts of the City. Armed with her rifle from the last War and her wits, she often travelled alone so she didn’t have to share her findings of various minerals and gems. Usually she was only found in town when she had something to sell.


Robin



Zelda


A simple shop owner, a bit smug as she sits just on the line between being part of the elite and the riffraff of the slums. How she makes her money no one can say, her shop is just simple books. There are rumors that she trades in some more…underhanded things, helping the rich obtain things they couldn't have otherwise...including people if the worst rumors were true….


Captain Laurenne


One of the many sea captains that called the City docks her home, Laurenne was known to burn through her coin as fast as she earned it. It didn’t take much more than her first night back in port to see all her coin go to booze and whores and to be found waking up quite the mess in a tavern booth or in some back alley somewhere.


Dora



Cassandra and Miranda


The de facto boss of the Docks, nothing passed through without Cassandra’s say so. The gangs might have their squabbles in the slums, but her control over the docks was absolute. That control was kept by her number one enforcer and right hand woman, Miranda. Miranda never spoke and no one dared to ask her if she was mute or if she just chose not to. She tended to let her fists and her fondness for blades do the talking. There was whispered talk that their relationship was more than professional, but the last fool that joked about it within earshot washed up on the docks a week later…well, part of him anyway.


Dixie



Melissa


The spoiled daughter of one of the social elite, Melissa didn’t want for anything and she knew it. Used to getting her way, she was quite to demand and never to ask. She rarely left the comforts of the elite district, for why bother to sully herself with the filth of the common folk when everything she needed could be brought to her?


Genevieve



Faith



Esmeralda



Jungle Queen


Beyond the Wood and the Desert, there was nothing but Jungle. Civilization didn’t exist there, at least not as most of the population of the City would define it. What little bit of structures that were there were now long ruins, either by the native population or by the failed attempts by City to colonize. But there was people who lived out there, though their tribes were hidden from most. The Jungle Queen was one such member, having been glimpsed only fleetingly by those who dared to explore and for many, she was the last person they ever saw.


Lady Visceral


A shrewd and ruthless business woman, she was among the highest of the high in the social elite of the City. Owner of the largest airship fleet, she had immense power within the City and wasn’t ashamed to use it. She knew how to dominate whether in the office or in her personal life. And Woe to whoever got between her and what she wanted.


Lady Pearl


Self-proclaimed boss of the warehouse district, “Lady” Pearl was anything but. Smug and a bit of a bitch, she was who you had to talk to if you wanted to store your product and she knew it. She had a tense but bloodless truce with Cassandra, though sometimes tensions did flair up. Most said that she wasn’t a lady at all and that she simply took the title to try and sound more legitimate, but don’t dare say that to her face.


Jade


Much colder and calculating than her always looking for a fight partner in crime Riot, Jade was still not one to be toyed with. Most men who fell for that smile of hers tended to find themselves with a knife in their gut later that evening. More of a thief than a brawler, Jade wasn’t opposed to getting her hands dirty if the situation called for it.


Lucah


The hot shot airship pilot that Raven wished she was, Lucah was THE pilot in the City. And she had the arrogance to go with it. Having never bought a drink or meal for herself in her life, Lucah could be found in any local tavern conning someone into a free meal with her stories of adventure and excitement. Most of the locals tolerated her because she actually was as good as she said she was….but that didn’t stop her from getting on people’s nerves.


Maormer



Madame Tia


If you dare to get your fortune read, there’s a certain red door at the end of a certain alleyway on a certain street in a certain part of town. The woman behind it is said to be able to see one’s destiny…whether you want to see it or not. There is also word that should you bring enough coin, she will do more than just read your palm…


Lady Red


In need of a favor? Perhaps a misfortune to befall a rival? A love spurned and in need of vengeance? You need only place a note upon your door with this desire and Lady Red will visit you. What happens beyond that point, well, that depends on how much coin you have and how much you please her.


Noemi


One of Cassandra’s thugs, Noemi spent most of her days guarding the docks and making sure no one caused trouble. An uneducated woman, she had simple desires and simple needs, but cross her and she wouldn’t’ think twice about ending you.


Pyromancer



Samantha


Tired of the life among the elite, Samantha had decided to run away from her overbearing parents and see how a real woman lived. On the run and alone in a world that she had never experienced before, it would be hard to imagine it wouldn’t be long before poor Samantha discovers she was much better off back in that Ivory Tower of hers.


Crash


Half of a bounty hunting duo with Slag, the two women rolled into town a few years ago and found the City to be their kind of place. Whether working for the gangs or Cassandra or the rich elite, it didn’t make much difference to Crash. So long as their coin was good and she got to put her blade to use, she was a happy woman.


Slag


The other half of the bounty hunting duo, Slag only loved one thing in the world, her Boomstick. A weapon she took off a dead mark, she’s spent most of her life tweaking it, repairing it, improving it. The weapon never left her side and anyone who tried often got to see those improvements up close and personal.


Tanya


No such thing as useless tech. That was Tanya’s motto. Her life was one of scavenging. She could be found wandering the many junkyards of the City or out in the deserts digging through wrecked airships and failed attempts at towns. What she couldn’t fix, she sold and her nomad life couldn’t make her happier.


Black Mask


A true Enigma, the woman known simply as Black Mask lived down in the catacombs under the City, tending to the steam vents and the ancient technology that everything ran on. She was the gatekeeper to those caves and some said she was immortal, while others said the mask was passed down from woman to woman, one a generation selected to protect the City’s darkest secrets and powers.


Sabrina


ne of the low-level dealers in the slums, Sabrina was neutral in the gang wars. She seemed to know everything about everyone and for the right price, she just might tell you. Or if you’re looking to simply forget life for a little while, she might have a little something to help with that.


Natiki


At the edge of the Desert outskirts, where the Jungle met, there was one lone building. Part home, part tavern, the place was home to an ambassador of sorts between the two realms. Natiki was the only woman who had spoken to the native tribes within the Jungle and lived, becoming one of them with the promise of doing what she could to keep them safe. She often was the last stop for explorers daring to enter the Jungle, trying her best to convince them to turn back.


Wilder


Owner of the local brothel, Wilder could make your wild dreams come true. Her brothel run as a part bar, part musical act, both men and women came to enjoy. Wilder did not judge and if you made a good enough offer, she personally might be willing to grant your every lewd desire.


Captain Jackie


A bit of a joke among the Airship captains, Captain Jackie was often found drunk and passed out at the airfield’s officer’s bar. She was a bit of a mess and a moron, yet somehow everything seemed to work out for her. Some have hired her hoping to get some of that good fortune only to discover, what works for her, doesn’t always end up working for them.
