Gratuitous Violence: Steampunk Edition

[asmodai510]

Hello hello everyone and welcome to the land of Gratuitous Violence, GV was a set of games my friends and I would play on another forum long ago, the basic premise of GV is very simple, Do pretty much whatever you want unless it directly involves another player character, then you need to leave it open ended for them to decide what happens.

As you can guess GV is a freeform style RPG and is only limited to your imagination, you can kill hordes of NPCs, you can rule an empire, as long as you do it creatively, so create a character and jump in, its all up to you! Everyone is welcome

Character: Edison J. Worthington, Steam-mechanic
Appearance: Edison is average height, he is somewhat stocky though very muscular.  He wears brown canvas work pants and heavy boots, a Dark brown suede vest, and a bowler hat.  He has short dark hair and bright green eyes.  His sharp features are marred only by a scar that runs down his right cheek.

now to begin:

Edison swore and kicked his wrench across the floor of his workshop as a burst of steam escaped from the motor bike he was working on.  He cursed all the inept mechanics and owners in the world as he picked up his welding torch and went to work replacing the crappy valve that was the culprit in the troubles of the bike, finally getting the piece replaced he glanced at his pocket watch and shook his head when he saw the time, "well time to close up." he murmured getting up and wheeling the bike to the side of the shop before cleaning up his tools.  He exited his shop and pulled down the steel door behind him locking it before taking a deep breath and heading off towards the Valve and Sprocket, his local watering hole.

Name: Leonidas Graze
Appearance: Leonidas has a strong, imposing figure. He is tall and facial hair lines his jaw.

"What did you say?" Leonidas asked. "The plans to move forward must be delayed, m'lord!" The strategist said, trting to convince his leader. "Work has been hindered due to workers in Segment A of the Weapons Developement Department." He elaborated. "Bring them here. Actually, no. Have them and their families excecuted. You will be next if we don't move forward by the end of the week." He growled.

He folded his legs across his black and red silk pant legs. The center was black fabric and it was outlined by red, the torso part of the outfit carrying through with the design.

Edison heard some cries from and alley and he peered down it, a group of men were trying to drag off a woman and her child.  Edison bristled and ran forward throwing a punch with full force towards the man holding the lady.  He felt the hoodlums jaw shatter under his strong blow and watched him drop.  Edison then felt another hand grab his shoulder and spun seeing that the other attacker had come to the aid of his friend, Edison slammed his head forward ramming the mans nose into his face and up into his brain causing him to drop as well.  "run!" Edison told the woman who scooped up her child as the mechanic tried to catch his breath and began dragging the two limp figures into the shadows wondering what prompted this.

Edison finally managed to hide the two disabled men behind a dumpster before standing up and dusting off his waistcoat and straightening his bowler hat.  He stepped as nonchalantly from the alley as his adrenaline flooded body could manage giving a glance around for the woman and child but seeing nothing.  He brushed himself off once again and moved onward towards the Valve and Sprocket seeking some liquid fortification.  Strange things were happening in the city lately, Edison tried to keep to his own business but odd occurrences just seemed to keep finding him.  Maybe it was time to check things out.

Character Name: Lucien Cain
Appearance: Tall, Dark Longish hair (covers his eyes). Wears a black overcoat.

Lucien was on one of his many walks around the city when he heard sounds from an alley, rather than being curious and approaching instead he waited. A few moments later a man in waistcoat with a bowler hat stepped out.

Lucien's green eyes looked at him suspiciously, what secrets did this man hold.
