GoI Fan Fiction
ShadedExalt:
Gaige.
Ex-Mercantile Fleet, now a freelance tinker and mercenary. 6 feet tall, built lean and wiry. Wears a pure white trenchcoat with god knows how many pockets lining the inside. Heavily scarred face, and wears a newsboy's cap to cover his steel gray hair. Friendly, and always joking, but never one to make too many ties. Carries a very, very, very large gun.
Excellent engineer that is always able to whip up a gadget to help with a given problem.
Alan Breck Stewart:
I guess I'll just go for it,
Captain Alan Stewart, Pilot of the Galleon class Iron Hurricane, 22nd squadron, Barony Air Navy
Elaborate backstory you may or may not give a crap about:
Alan is notably young for a captain, barely 24, and fresh out of the academy where he graduated in the top 10 of his class. Although it is very rare for the sons of commoners (he's a blacksmith's son) to receive a position there, Alan did so by the recommendation of a Baron for merits in battle as an enlisted engineer. At the age of 18 he was drafted to help man a mission against an organized piracy fleet. During the battle, the ship he was stationed on was ambushed and quickly disabled, in the chaos the pilot was injured, order was lost, and a boarding attack ensued. Alan overcame his first attacker, and after confiscating a sword, eliminated the entire boarding party one by one. With this critical breather, the first mate was able to take command and direct the ship to save the nearby Baron's flagship from a similar dilemma. The same Baron would later recommend Alan to the academy. Soon after graduating he was granted command of the Iron Hurricane and is currently serving as an active Captain in the Barony military.
Personal traits:
An excellent leader, known to be very effective at rallying any crew to perform as a tightly coordinated unit greater than the sum of the parts.
Rather taciturn and reserved, except when in command, when he reverses into a loud, boisterous commander.
Proficient at hand to hand combat, probably developed from a combination of school fight (he wasn't ever the biggest kid on the block) and personal curiosity.
Exemplary swordsman, possibly developed from being around swords often as his father was a well established bladesmith. The champion fencer of his officer class, his technical proficiency increased substantially during his academy years, especially footwork and point control. He often stops an oncoming attack with a calm stab to the opponents wrist.
Not a horrible shot with personal firearms but nothing that compares to some of the crack shots in the airship field.
His personality is best described as very military. He is loyal, organized, prudent, analytical, and trusting.
Has been rumored to have fun every now and then, but eyewitnesses are scarce.
Appearance:
Altogether medium build with a stern clean shaven face. Most often seen in the standard Barony Air Navy uniform, navy blue double breasted officer suit with white trim, matching bicorn, black knee high boots mirror shined, sometimes with a long grey trench coat in cold or windy weather.
Ok, was that obnoxiously detailed enough? Yeah I'd like him to be a good guy, of course I would, but if you make him a villain I won't complain, it's not my story. He might make a good neutral or supporting character.
It seems lots of characters have excellent sword abilities, maybe some opportunity there for a rivalry, maybe some friendly competition. I fence in real life so I'd be happy to answer swordfighting questions.
I'd draw a pic but that would take a while, maybe I'll add one later.
Skymonger:
Alright I'll post my imagination as well. Considering how these other two ^ are pushing ahead as well.
So...meh TAKE IT ALL, (non sexually of course,)
-Tech Captain Kai Severastapole, pilot and engineer of the Spire class "Heaven's Nail"
Once part of the 65th Icelandic Raid Angels for the Anglean Republic.
Officially reported missing in action after an Avalance Buried him and 23 other ships during a raid in Firnfeld. Unofficially recruited into Angleans Black tech excavation program.
Backstory: Kai was born on the edge of the Anglean republic on the Outskirts of Tamblair. Supposedly he was born to a middle class engineer family and learned the basics of Tinkering and Old age technology at the age of 7.
Unfortunately any known records about him or his family were destroyed in a yeshan firebombing skirmish where he was reported running to the mountain town of Selenasgorsk just a few short miles away east of Tamblair.
Years later At the age of 14 or so, the town of Selenasgorsk was wiped off the map in a massive explosion.Except for Kai, no other survivors were reported. he was immediately apprehended by Anglean officials investigating the explosion and was recruited into the military after he destroyed two Anglean Corsairs and encased 73 men in ice using an old world prototype weather engine.
Since then, he obediently served the 65th Raid Angels till he was buried in an avalanche at the age of 19.
He apparently survived and rescued survivors from other half buried ships during the Firnfeld burial and fended off two Baronite Ice patrols and a pirate attack over the course of three months. This lead him to be promoted into Angleas Black tech divisions when he was rescued
Since then, he has traveled among the frozen peaks of Anglea searching for relics of the past in his modified Spire. Offering his services and expertise to anyone needing a hand in mechanics.
Reported qualities:
Given how he is supported by Angleas top secret Technoguards, his official file can't be obtained and all known traits about him are from eyewitnesses of dubious quality.
-He apparently is a mute. According to the town of Hanat, the governor says that Kai was impaled by a frozen piece of metal in his throat and communicated to him via Paper and a strange Phonograph device in his throat.
-He uses Lost technology and wields the weather. The town of Athmor reports seeing him using Lightning with his hands and was seen scouring various ruins with a retinue of "Iron men" While this account might be questionable, a yeshan battle group was reportedly forced to retreat after being hit by a sudden blizzard surrounding a glowing spire.
-Inhuman marksmanship.
While this might be excused because of his access to Old world technology, a baronite Frigate and her escorts repeatively sent distress calls to any nearby fleet, reporting that "their crewmans heads were exploding" before going silent 20 minutes later.
Responders report the ships being looted and relatively undamaged. With only Mercury shells buried inside the captains faces. While we can't determine with certainty that this WAS Kai's work, a crewman was found beside the word "spire" written in his own blood can't be written off.
Appearance.
Once again, with only hearsay from eyewitness reports being our best source...
Kai travels the world in his 6 engined spire "The heaven's nail" it supposedly has been modified to mount two battleship gun turrets from the old world, with other modified Armaments. And equipment somewhere within its inner workings.
He wears a Grey trench coat and hood as camouflage, has a metallic Eye patch with a glowing blue cross on it and is reported to not have a leg or arm. Apparently being replaced by Metal prosthetics.
Other accounts mention a third arm on his back, but no confirmation as of yet.
He also uses a massive 40mm scoped Cannon rifle and a c96 Mauser pistol whenever he must fight personally.
All information in the apprehension of this man and his supporters will greatly aid Baronies and Yeshan armies in their attacks against Anglea and we ask kindly that you do not divulge information on him for the sake of our security.
- The Anglean Skyguard.
There you go. That's my character.
This was more of a flex at my imagination than outright saying you should make a story with me in it. But y know. What ever works right?
C r o w:
A month since the last chapter has passed, now I DEMAND the next!
