Knights of Metal, Horses of Steel (Worldbuilding)

[The Empire of Pretantia]

At first I was like,"This is cool, but I don't feel like it." But now I'm like,"I could be a Terminator 2 reference with enough effort. Or just a knight with a motorcycle."

Would dragons fit and would they have a quirk?

Dragons are definitely in.

I haven't decided on a quirk. Maybe dragons each have individual quirks, or maybe there are species of dragons.

Ideas? For quirks or for dragon types.

Hm. Does magic exist in-canon?

Yes.

Maybe the dragons are cops. British cops.

What about foreign characters?
Anything fancy about other parts of the world

What do you mean by foreign characters?

And what other parts of the world? Do you mean outside of Europe? Because the chance of anything relevant to the PCs happening there is pretty slim.

I want to be an Apache warrior named Turok, and ride a T-Rex.

I'm not saying people should straight up be Japanese or something.
But I'm not saying they shouldn't be.

Examples, maybe. Idk
Arab merchant. Perhaps if you try to prevent everyone from crusading you for being there, but if you are rich enough sure.
Northern Africans, though basically the same as arab merchant. Have fun telling people you aren't arabic while they refuse to believe you.


Boat suggestion: Maybe steam boats or something. Idk.

Both of those seem fine.

Agri suggested to me that South Asians and South Asian eateries are present in Britannia. There's no cultural reason or explanation for them being there, and nobody knows how long they've been there. They're just... there. And Britons think it's perfectly normal - only non-Britons would notice it or even point it out.

Suggestion:
Japan is basically stuck in the steam punk era because of isolation and shit, an earlier isolation as opposed to the one they enforced much later.
So the guns they do have suck super hard, are super illegal cause 'muh samurai', and maybe they have swords that they power with steam to swing really hard or something.

Japan is all but completely irrelevant. But I like the idea.

It's an interest thread, it isn't even active yet.

I don't think it's worth talking about Japan, because it's not really in the realm of Arthurian legend, Early medieval European history, or comedy.

I mean, inexplicable Asians running restaurants in Europe is one thing, detracting focus from biker knights because exotic warrior culture is another.

[Wombocombo]

Well, maybe not Japan.
I just wanted steampunk asians for some reason -shrug-.

I am kinda sorta working on an RP which is steampunk Japan in the Feudal Era, but that's pending fuck-giving.

Hmu if that ever takes off.

Like I said. All but completely irrelevant. So is most of Russia for that matter.

I know next to nothing about
1: British History before 1600
2: British Biker Culture
3: "Mods" and "Rockers"
4: British Heavy Metal
5: British anything, except London, funny accents, and tea. Lots of tea.
BUT COUNT ME IN ANYWAY! I'll be French, and fart in your general direction. Your father was a hamster, and your mother smelt of elder berries! Or was it the other way around?

Listen and be learned.

Before 1600, there's no British.

There are only England, Scotland, Ireland. Wales is part of England.

I think.

Also, I think British already started colonized NA before 1600.

[Rupudska]

I will try to get this up sometime in the coming week.

[Kaltavya]

Knights on Motorcycles, huh? I'll be disappointed if there isn't a Solaire character who likes driving after the sun.

Of course, it depends on how close to historically accurate we're going to be, regarding the political/geographical situation.
If it's the fifth century, then England doesn't exist, and neither does Scotland or Ireland. Or Wales.
Also, no one apart from the natives are in the Americas, yet. Unless you are open to certain theories regarding ancient contact with the Americas in some shape or form, often involving Romans, Celts, Chinese or Phoenicians, in some manner (though also Japanese, Polynesian and Welsh theories exist, too). The Norse, for one, haven't founded any settlements in Vinland/Newfoundland yet, either. To mention yet another theory, the Templars don't exist yet either, so they can't have gotten to the East Coast, left stuff lying around, or gone back to Scotland and left signs in Rosslyn Chapel.

Anyway...

Oh, my bad lol. I'm still new to role playing on NS so I'm not used to the whole interest thread / active thread thing

[Akkaga]

Idea for the dragon quirks (If that's still a thing)
Elemental dragons?
Sand Dragons from Africa, which can burrow under the ground and change color to match brownish colors.

Ice Dragons from Scandinavia, instead of fire they have icey breath and like to fly super high up.

Fire "English" Dragons from England, this species is your average fire breathing types.

Europa/Germanic Dragons from mainland Europa, this type rarely has wings but is the largest and most dangerous type. It's said to have a toxic bite, but none have ever lived to tell the tale.

++EDIT++
The dragons would be fairly rare. Asia will have it's own dragons but none will be in Europe do to the Urals and vast tracts of land separating the two.

I still say they should be coppers, because Britain.

How can a dragon, a mindless, firebreathing, man eating, beast. Even attempt at being a police officer?

>Dragons
>Mindless

Where have you been for the past century? Most Dragon portrayals I've seen have intelligent dragons.

They should go around all tut-tut, keeping the peace inn nature, confiscating bikes, spinning batons, and booking knights who drive too fast.
