| When there are no rules, who's to judge what's right and wrong? When the land has been destroyed, where do you flee to? When treasure is everywhere, how do you get your share? Welcome to Clouds, the biggest Sky Port on what's left of Earth. The majority of society is still down on land, trying to making a living in a totally anarchistic world. There are a few settlements that have their own mini-government, but its pretty much every-man-for-himself everywhere else. And that is especially true for those who reject the limits of the land; sky pirates. They travel in huge, steam-powered airships and only land for resources and repairs. And, seeing as everyone is trying to get as much for themselves as possible, that's a tad difficult. Character Rules: 1.) Everyone is human. No weird super-human powers or cybernetics or mutations or whatever. Everyone is 100% natural human. 2.) Obey the god-modding rules. You don't walk off a shot in the leg or anything. If you get injured, act like you've been injured. 3.) Anything that the Admins or Mods say goes. And yes: Kaido is a mod so listen to him. This RP was his idea anyway. 4.) No one is anyone legendary. You have to build a reputation, you don't just have it.Characters:Anne Revenge Anne named herself after the old pirate ship, Queen Anne's Revenge and the name happened to stick. She is a bit of a pack-rat and enjoys collecting things of little to no worth to anyone other than herself. She has a sky ship with the name Calypso's Plague, but hasn't been able to sail much of anywhere as her crew all got horrendously drunk and were caught in a massacre in a tavern in Clouds. Jericho Bio: Jericho was born on a sky port and lived on the streets as a child. When he aged, however, he found a nice escape from that life; Calypso's Plague. Jericho is the ship's engineer and loves to tinker with all of the odds and ends that Anne brings onto the ship. Jericho is quite an eccentric person though, seeing as he is the only living member of Anne's crew left, which was because Jericho preferred the soothing hiss and clanking of his workshop aboard the ship than the musty bar on port. But he has little time to invent things, because such large flying contraptions require almost constant maintenance on the engineers part. Jason Amaroq Weapons: four handguns, three daggers Bio: Jason is a definite vagabond. He just wanders around, taking odd jobs doing anything to earn food or cash. Of course, he often steals a bit of an extra tip.... but hey, every man for himself. He's never been on a sky ship before, but he would like to give it a shot. He's an excellent shot, and an even better spy. He isn't one to fight with swords, preferring to get up close and personal with daggers instead. his handguns are located on his sides, under his arms. the daggers are in his boots and attached to his belt.

| Anne was sitting in a hammock/chair thing upside down with her head hanging off the bottom. She was holding in her hand a sort of bauble made of bronze that resembled a penguin to the point where it was almost frightening. As she tossed the thing from one hand to the other, singing some sort of French children's song, she would occasionally throw in some penguin noises and make the thing waddle back and forth in front of her. The Plague was so much less interesting with no one on it. | |

| Jericho popped his soot-covored head on deck from a ladder below. "Anne, all we need is some more coal and a crew and we're off!" Jericho said, getting up on deck. |

| Anne screamed lightly, throwing the penguin at his head as hard as she could, "Give me a warning before you scare me like that!" | |

| A cloud of dust-like soot descended from Jericho's head as the penguin bounced of his forehead. "Ouch... that's going to leave a knot." He said as he rubbed his head. |

| Anne climbed down, standing in front of him. "Well... you scared me. What did you expect, flowers and chocolate?" she picked up a Chinese parasol and twirled in behind her. | |

| Jericho shrugged. "It would have been nice." He said, dusting off his coat. |

| "Well, I'm not nice." She pointed out. And she was right. Anne Revenge was definitely an odd one. "So, crew searching then?" | |

| "Get me something exotic." Jericho said as he walked onto the port's streets. "Where to search...." |

| Anne walked right past everyone into a small, run-down looking building with a sign hanging precariously above the doorway. These were the types of places Anne couldn't help but explore. An old lady sat in a wooden rocking chair that was being held together by scraps of copper and bronze. Anne looked around, spinning in a circle and taking off through the store, inspecting each piece carefully. | |

| Jericho wandered around town, picking up street-trash like he himself had once been as a child. |

| Anne picked up some sort of necklace/choker thing and held it up to the light. The light shone through the red plastic jewel in the center, and it was covered in dust as if no one else really cared about it or wanted it. She held it in her hand, weighing it, then shrugged, keeping it in her hand as she moved on. Why? She had no idea. Now, Jericho said exotic. What did he mean by exotic? Trust him to be ambiguous. Anne stopped walking and turned suddenly on her heel to face a strange contraption that looked like a dragonfly. She tossed it up to test it's weight and the thing started flying around the room. Anne jumped up and caught it, touching the head of the thing, "I have the perfect place for you." Anne quickly grabbed some sort of egg-shaped thing on her way out and tossed the lady sitting in the chair a handful of bronze coins. Anne ventured back aboard the Plague, setting her new treasures down as she looked for a place to put them. | |

| Jericho continued to walk through the port's streets, looking for more recruits. It usually took quite a few people to make an airship travel, and most of them weren't known to be the most intact vessels. |

| Jason yawned as he wandered the streets. He was bored to almost tears right now. He appeared to be one of the more able bodied men around here. he was starting to run low on funding, so he looked around for any job openings he could see. |

| "Hey, you." Jericho called, pointing at Jason. It was kind of hard to miss Jericho now, seeing that he had about seven rag-tag people following him. |

| Jason looked over at him, resting a hand on his belt on the hilt of his dagger. "what do you want?" he asked watching him carefully. at first, he mistook this for a ragtag gang that might want to pull a beat-and-snatch. |
