So, you have a plot in mind?
Not a plot per se, but a setting
group
Oo, please continue.
Hey so.
It's essentially a parallel universe. You know the way our world is today with technology? What if, instead of the industrial revolution, there was the magical revolution?
Picture this. A world where there is 0 technology. Every machine, every vehicle, every light switch, its purpose has been filled by a magical invention. This magic was developed via tests rather than experiments: certain conditions ignited certain powers, and these powers were concentrated and industrialized to aid society's development.
Now, just as there were the Salem Witch Trials, in this universe it was the Capek Robot Trials. Our story is based off the life of an automaton born during the 1st Magical Revolution, and this is the tale of its death.
Obviously some details will have to be worked out for this all to run smoothly, but there you go!
group
I love this.
So much.
group
So, who do you think we would be playing? Obviously, there's the automaton, but who should the other person be?
Either its creator, or a curious citizen who discovers it
I don't mind who I play, so it's completely up to you!
group
I kinda wanna be the creator. I have a character who builds robots, but I might not use her because I can't think of one of her robots dying- it's too much
Lol got it. So I'll pull up a template unless you've got one, then we can hash out the universe
group
I'm good with you putting a template.
Alright gimme a second

CREATOR
Name: Samantha Tabitha Roads the Third
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Looks: Tall and lithe, she had brown hair and green eyes with olive skin.
Personality: Rather introverted, it is rare to catch her socializing. However, if she does warm up to you enough to socialize, she can be quite nice to talk to and a good person in general.
Power: Ferrokinesis (Ability to manipulate and control metal with the mind)
Background: Coming from a middle-class family, she is content with just enough.
Other: She was very glad with how her automaton turned out, and she enjoys spending time with them. She's a big advocate for automaton rights, but you'll never get her to admit it.
AUTOMATON
Name: Amelie
'Gender': Female
Looks: Green eyes, copper hair, pale, the 'ideal' body type,
Personality: will appear with her reactions to the world and as she learns
I don't know what else to really put
group
oof. I updated her power, btw.
Nice, makes sense. Is Amelie's template alright?
group
Yeah! Sorry, I had to eat dinner.
N O . W O R R I E S .. N O U R I S H . Y O U R S E L F
So do you think it's necessary to hash out some things to clarify the universe? It might make things easier, or we cam figure it out as we go?
group
We could hash it out first. I enjoy having a plan of attack.
(sorry for the outburst ^^')
Agreed. So, Capek Robot Trials. That would be late 1600s. First Magical Revolution would be late 1700s to early 1800s. Which time period are we going for?
group
Hm…
What if it takes place during the trials, but then we can have a descendant of Samantha's find out after we finish that up on and try to rebuild Amelie.
I like it!
It could be a 'modern day' rebuilding when technology is considered amazing as magic is today, and they become respected because of the project. Then when Amelie is returned to a functional state she needs to make the switch from the time periods.
group
Oo, this'll be great!
Yee I'm excited.
As for universe. If we're doing late 1600s, then there isn't much technology to substitute (that will not be the case for part 2). We can have a mainly pyro-fuelled world then, for lanters and things.
group
Yeup. Oh, and maybe Samantha could work in a forge with a pyro, and the pyro figures out Amelie's not human.
