Steel and Spell (Steampunk FanT RP, OOC Sign-up, Semi-Open)

[Firstaria]

The problem is that it would mean he become from a Nature expert to an Arcane magic expert in 2 years. I'm fine with it if you are.

I think I feel better if he were just part of a local militia. Is it necessary that he should be part of some big conflict, especially something as unrelated to him as a Korean anti-foreign revolt? Doesn't make sense in context.

I want him to have some militian training of sort, and some negative approaches to war...I admit I calculated only later how bad the chronological index was on him. I'll think about something better, maybe I can even add him to the Etiopia war? Nah, I remember it to be too soon.

There is Aceh War. Maybe an Italian joined the KNIL as a volunteer?

That's actually a good idea. Didn't know about that.

How? There is no record of Italian joined the KNIL.

What? But you just suggested it yourself. What do you mean 'how'?

*sigh*

The Royal Netherlands East Indies Army recruited European mercenaries of other nationalities, not necessarily those of Germanic or Dutch origin, up until the end of the Aceh War. Since they weren't particular of nationality, it would be possible for Italians to join, though not likely in significant numbers. Also, while there weren't any records of Italians joining the KNIL in real life, as you said, this RP isn't that hard up on following real life history down to the fine print (e.g. flying magic ships). I just wanted First to make a background for Danilo that's believable in context.

EDIT: Anyway, any updates on the ships I need to work on for you guys?

It appears I've written myself into a corner again. And by corner I mean hallway. With only one exit.
Wolfers... What I do?

Rescue peoples? :/

Wolf, question. Am I allowed to board one of the hijacked ships, about to reveal one of my characters again and he can pretty much control the earth at his will.

And would be cool if the TonnHeiser was to try and shot down one of the hijacked ships?

Sure, there's three to choose from. Pick your target wisely. However, pick the wrong one and you're going to end up dropping hundreds of feet into the ground.

Also, shooting any of the ships would likely put you on the wrong side of any faction who owned it prior. Remember, there are consequences to your actions.

[Firstaria]

I will actually go with the Aceh War. It looks fine and to be realistic we are talking of one Italian, obviously not captured or identified in the field. When a war says "mercenary" you can expect any sort of shit from it, we didn't have photo or audio of those times.

Hell, and also some minuscule story bending in a world with air dreadnoughts doesn't seem so bad.

[Wolfenium]

Still plenty of open spots for Austrians, Russians and American characters! Hurry up before sign ups close after Chapter 1!

Hmm, didn't knew that.

Can you give me the names of the ships that are taken, and can you give me an advice on what ship should I try to liberate?

So far, the Bristol, Jefferson and Tsukuyomi are being raided, the Bristol being the one most infested with named villains. I'm not going to suggest, however, because I'd like you to make your own choice and have fun with that. Trust me, you're going to need the right allies when Chapter 2 rolls in.

Fuck, as far as how you said it; I really have to think carefully on what to raid :\

Lemme search the 20th Century relations of the Swiss and the 3 Nations you mentioned...

[Firstaria]

I'm more concerned on the fact Luigi is dying and Agritum disappeared. I'm gonna remain the only Italian in?

I think so

I don't know that KNIL recruited mercenaries from other nationalities, I though they used conscripts from their own colonies to maintains order.

I know the limits are 5 characters. Probably another character from Dutch East Indies, who originated from Aceh and knows about the Aceh War (1870-1942) and another Russian-Japanese officer.

What's with you and Japanese-Russians? One is already pushing it, but two?

Spells (with descriptions, up to three):
5 Stone Defense - Cedric controls the earth, doesn't matter if the earth is covered of pavement; he will have control of up to 5 stone tablets that will encircle him, hovering in the air near him in a defensive position. This can act as a barrier and can be used as an offensive, hurdling stone slab that can knock out an opponent or a group of opponents.
Ground Buckle - Cedric uses his hammer and slams it to the ground; knocking his opponents off their feet surrounding him.
*He can use this even if the earth itself is covered by: snow, pavement, etc.
Earth Omega - Cedric focuses all his power and will use it how ever he sees fit; he may use it to summon a powerful, short earthquake or gather up huge boulders and strike it to the enemy.
*Earth Omega will exhaust all of his energy so using this will be limited for him without the aid of his sister
Weapon (with description): Cedric wields a huge Hammer that he can use to squash his opponents, or use it to channel his mage powers.

History (Compulsory)
Bios: Cedric grew up in Zurich. His childhood was bitter but was kept alight by his sister; Fabienne. Both of them have mage powers but was forced into hiding due to the sudden disappearance of their parents who were also mages. Cedric stopped using his powers in the light of the persecutions of those who possess powers. He joined the Swiss Military until the great emergence of those who had powers. The Military having learned of his ability; transferred him to the Shadow Skywrath, along with his sister Fabienne and was put under the direct command of Terrence Dresdner.

Additional Information (Optional):
Cedric can also control those that has an origin from the Earth; like Diamonds, mud, and everything that basically comes and falls in the surface of the Earth. However it only proves more difficult to use and control this types of earth elements which will require more focus and energy from him. Despite having power in everything that is "Earth", he only have problems and have few skills to control metal and everything metal and forged.

He can only have full control and full potential with his powers if his sister, Fabienne is with him due to Fabienne's unique, powers. He can also use his powers to utilize rock boulders as a type of transport in which; he can ride it and control it as he see fit. However doing this will leave him vulnerable for he is too farm from the earth and will require more focus and power to summon up stones and boulders that will come from the Earth below.

Wolfenium, before I make my next post, could you approve my character first?

And because of my research, I have decided to choose from either the USS Jefferson and the RN Bristol. But since I'm more connected to the British, I will have to think of this carefully.

[Esternial]

I've taken control a bit, please let me know if you protest, Wolf/Min.

Approved. It's late, so I'll have to take a closer look in the morning, but everything seems to check out at the moment.

And are you sure you want to go with the Bristol? Fair warning, because I already said there are named characters on board. Anyone familiar with my RPs would know the difference between named characters and unnamed ones.

I've taken control a bit, please let me know if you protest, Wolf/Min.

It's fine.

[Videssos]

Hmm.

Now to see how to jump back in.
