(Sorry if something like this has been done before, if so contact me and I will give credit, sorry)

18th century time period with the standard sort of steampunky stuff (i.e flintlock pistols, steam powered tools and arm prosthetics) with a mix of magic only known to the most intelligent of men (sort of Fable 2 like magic). I already have a story arc (sort of) so please PM me your character sheets, I am looking for about 9 more people to make a round 10.

Character sheets should be something like this (all characters human):

Here is mine:

Name: Michael Stanford
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Gender: Male
Height-Weight: 6" 4' and 145 lbs
Fighting style: Scoundrel, long distance, fencing
Primary-Secondary Weapons: Primary; Elegantly designed self reloading, steam powered pistol with lots of gilded prints. Secondary; Overly elaborate rapier with huge ball-pommel and also elaboratly decorated.

History: Origionaly from a wealthy family in the rich part of town, Michael resented his parents because they cared nothing for the poor or down troden which littered the streets. they showered him with fancy gifts and fencing and shooting lessons to make him turn around but he did not. He stole his pistol and sword and ran off at the age of 11 to the poor district where he lived among the poor for a while before realizing how hard life truely was. His parents had disowned him and he also saw that the bloated government also did not care for him or his poor bretheren. He vowed to bring everyone down to their level and began using his skills as a theif and mugger along with being a highwayman at the gates of the city. He grew into a very tall, lean boy with little meat on him due to his poor diet and practiced constantly on his fighting and the like. Eventually he began a gang of urchins and muggers and built himself a resonable fortune which he then invested into renevation for the poor district. He became a famous real estate tycoon and was renown for his shooting abilities. He still carried his weapons from his childhood to remind him to continue his fight against the wealthy and greedy. Although he is famous for being a renovator, he secretly leads a life of crime during the night and donates all of the money he steals to fund either his organization or the poor.

(sorry for any spelling errors)

Intro: I wanted to start in a pub and all the characters telling about themselves (not eveything) and then I will begin the story arc (when I have 10 people I will begin the intoductions and the rest will follow)

Also, this is my first RP so if I amde any msitakes in the usual format please tell me so I can better my abilities. Thanks.

Oh... There was one of these run by someone else, but it's 'On Hold' for now, so I wont be joining you, I can't have that.. No, no... Just can't have that...

Just saying prospects for players is slightly slim.

Yeah, Baldrek did it(although his didn't have magic). Maybe some of his players will join while they wait for him to start his again. Hope it works out for you though.

Really? Oh man, now I feel like a jerk, can I see the thread? Also what (besides blatantly copying someone (which I am sorry about)) can I do better? What in general makes a good RP?

Took me a minute to dredge up.

But you're not BLATANTLY copying anyone, you're just slightly copying them. Baldrek's had a difference in themes. Never fret, you'll certainly do fine with your RP.

Oh and sorry to the person who I sort of copied, I did not know about your thread so I did not do it intentionally.
