I'm not going with an airship, but I'd figured I might as well throw a few more pictures out there.

Would Captain Lafitte by chance be hiring to fill the 11 spots of crewmen aboard his ship? Lt. Rumey would be interested in being his chief engineer.

Name: Friedrich Von Maulitz
Age/Gender: 34/Male
Nationality: Herminian
Allegiance: Mercenary (what side are the mercenaries on?)
Relevant Skills: Skilled with a knife, superb horseman, is a surprisingly crack shot with a pistol.
Weapon(s) of Choice: Mauser Model 1871, Colt Peacemaker, Bowie Knife
Short Bio: Born into the Herminian Aristocracy, Maulitz served 6 years as a Cavalryman, before he retired and decided to become a mercenary overseas. Eventually, he heard of what was going on Dehui, so he boarded a ship that took him to the island, and he seeks to make his mark.

I have to say, you're by far the best at RPing a modern Nazi nation I've seen. Right down to the national motto.

in Herminia, gays are given the honour of executing communists

you truly are an enlightened nation

Zis nation has elements of magic, oppressed Nichtmenschen, and Nazi Super Science, zere is no realism with me

The mercenaries don't have a "side" -- they're mercenaries. They may or may not have an ideological lean towards one side or the other; some are cutthroats who make themselves available to the highest bidder, while others are just neutrals who can either be taken advantage of or...persuaded :twisted:

Anyway, cool character, even though I'd like to know a little more about him. Accepted! Oh, and kudos on the Baron :lol:

Lafitte is flying the new internal combustion ship, which only has a 4-man crew. Still, it's up to him.

I've loved Bjorn Hurri for a long time; I'm glad others are starting to appreciate him! the picture I used for my queen, Autumn, is actually his picture of Steampunk Princess Leia:

Browse his portfolio on his website; it's pretty much all trouser-soilingly awesome.

Oh, and I've updated the OP to make the cast list a bit more accessible, with complete bios spoilered instead of linked. I've also included people's more specific weapon choices, as well as airships if they have declared one of their own. Now is the time to tell me if you want me to update those bits of your entry. Don't forget to name your ship!

My fleet. (Ships are stolen from other peoples artwork, so do not regard this as mine etc.)

This makes for a total of 86 crewmembers and 6 diplomatic personel. Technological they're a bit behind on standards around here, so they're not to big of a might by themselves.

I don't see how the first one could ever fly, so I'm going to have to say no; the second one is a bit of a stretch, but I can let it slide.

It's up to you; it's RAS (Royal Air Service), though.

Kremistan, for the sake of compatibility (and me not wanting to have to slog through the details of creating my own airship), will either use what Fangalia gives us, serve as the equivalent of Naval Marines, or operate on the ground.
