The Year of Our Lord Esqueriette, Sixteen Thousand and Thirteen.
It has been three years past since the War between Itcharin and Damashka, the other smaller kingdoms having been swept up by either side. Itcharin has conquered mostly, and their much loathed soldiers, the Bathars are stationed everywhere. A time of oppression but also a time of technological frenzy. Air ships dot the sky, and sky pirates are growing more treacherous by the day.
Enter the Dark Red Moon, one of the most notorious sky ships of the day. Its captain is a vampire known as Alliana Gray. Single heiress of a long dead clan. The price on her head is quite a hefty sum, but her crimes haven't been proven. Her crew is small for such a large ship. The twins Rena and Tkal. They are vampires with no specific clan. (Bitten by a rogue vampire.) Alliana took them in when they were young and roaming the streets of Damashka, picking her pocket. Natalia, her engineer and mechanic, is of the race Zylcan, a most mysterious race.
Alliana has set her eyes on the Goddess's Diadem and its going to require work, blood, swords, skill, and a hell of a lot of alcohol!

The day had been quite profitable. Alliana sheathed her broadsword, looking around the treasury on her ship. Nodding satisfied, she picked up a handful of Lytes (the currency of the most of the world) and turned them over.
"Ahhh. How wonderful to see the sight of gold." she said. Walking out of the treasury, she was hit by blazing rays of sunshine. The window stretched the length of the hallway and showed a beautiful picturesque day. Shielding her eyes, she muttered,
"How irritating." After her eyes adjusted to the light, she leaned against the window, looking down below at the sky city of Amedlia. A collection of jungle-like islands, with sky ships passing them by. A large waterfall was towards the east, and she saw many people enjoying it during the time of summer. The sun glowed brightly on the flora and fauna of below. Trees hundreds of years old gave shade to Amedlia's citizens, and the cute miniature houses made of clay gave it a rather homey feeling. Suddenly a voice crackled over the intercom.
"Crrrrt. 'Ello? 'Ello? Cap'n? Errr, Natalia is asking for ya! Somethin' 'bout the defense system being offline?" Alliana groaned. It was true they hadn't escaped the last squadron of Balthar soldiers so easily but she hadn't expected damage to the ship. She was wearing black leather pants with a brown utility belt clipped around her waist, a black long sleeved turtle neck shirt, with gold bangles form her wrist to her elbows. Long cascading straight black hair fell to her waist but was usually always braided. Fervently burning red eyes stared at you, and a thick smile, with blood red lips and pearly white teeth. Those fangs that reminded you she wasn't human. Moon pale skin to fit the apt vampire description. Her boots thudded against the floor.
"Coming, coming," she mumbled.

Kayakou groans as he grips his hair, "What do you mean we don't have any Lytes!" hits his robotic helper and growls, "This is all your fault, I told you you weren't built for water!" Slaps his face and claws down, "That repair bill was huge..."
The bot beeps at him furiously. Waving its robotic limbs it screeches at Kayakou, telling him it was actually his fault.
"OH that is BULL-" is cut off by the store manager, "Ugh...excuse me, but could you leave...you're creating a scene..." "Oh but out!" Kayakou walks out of the store furious. "Cmon Jurik!" The little bot follows him still beeping silently.
((good or more needed??))
((oh and almost forgot
Description-> Name is Kayakou Krennik, part time engineer for sky rigs. With his pale complexion and bright blue eyes, there's no doubt he's a vampire. His bright, almost white, blonde hair cuts him out from the ordinary crowd. He stands at about 5'8" weighing in about 132 lbs. By a first glance he looks to be 18, but thanks to vampiric traits, hes really 67.))

[That's perfect.]
"Sorry Alliana, but the defense system is shot. This is a job for more than one engineer. And we're going to have to go into town." Natalia commented. Natalia was a special person. A Zylcan. They had abilities to manipulate souls and the mind. They looked human except for their dark blue skin and pointed ears. Her eyes were a serene blue and they were staring blankly at Alliana.
"Ugh! Okay, fine. Rena, you and your brother stay here and mind the ship. Natalia and I need to go into town..." Loking out at the control board for her ship there were about a million buttons, triggers, and levers. Pressing a couple she looked at Natalia. "Ready? Got the gold?" Natalia nodded serenely. She pulled the lever and they stood blinking in front of a shop. Unfortunately they were in the way of a young man and his bot.
"Sorry about that mate," Alliana said, rubbing her head. She was about two inches shorter than the person so she had to tilt her head up a bit.

"Watch where ya goin toots!" Kayakou grunts and brushes himself off. He looks at her blankly, She looks like she could have a few Lytes, maybe I should try to con her...she looks like she may have a ship...maybe I could make up some bullshit about her ship being worse than it is than cash in...wait...what am I thinkin, I don't even know yet... "Ahem, sorry bout that miss...The name's Kayakou..oh and this is Jurik." pats the bot on it's head.
The bot beeps to Kayakou. Kayakou grunts and kicks the bot lightly, "Shut up, I do not..." Kayakou blushes lightly and growls. He regains his composure and looks at Natalia now, "...You're a Zylcan ain't ya?" squints and shoves hands in pockets, "Never met a Zylcan in person before..." offers hand to shake, "Pleasure to meet ya." smiles warmly as he notices his hand is filthy with grease, "Oop, sorry..." wipes hands on pants then reoffers to shake.

Alliana kept back a scowl. Natalia looked at the man blankly, her head tilted to the side.
"Sorry Zylcans don't really get concepts such as these. Natalia, just take his hand and shake it." Natalia looked confused and grabbed the man's hand by two fingers and shook it rapidly.
"Like that?" Alliana laughed.
"We'll work on it." Alliana turned back to the man and she felt an uneasy aura coming from him. Lies something told her.
"Natalia here is my mechanic. I'm Alliana. " she nodded to the bot as well.
"We were just passing through to get some parts. So uh--" she made to go into the shop.
[[sorry i have to go continue tomorrow?]]

Stretches hand from the cramp of it being thrown up and down rapidly, "Oh..." steps tot he side, "It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance Alliana, the same to you Natalia." he bows his head and walks away, the bot scurrying after him, beeping.
"Wait...what?!" Kayakou roars at the bot and runs back into the shop, 'Whattya mean I dropped my favorite wrench you idiotic bot! Where is it?!" bangs the bot on the head and it blurts out a series of rapid beeping, "Gah!" looks around, ignoring the manager's concerns again. "HA!" picks up wrench and kicks bot, 'Why didn't you pick it up you useless hunk o junk!" Kayakou growls, his face red with rage, "You're so lucky I don't scrap you for a few Lytes!" Kayakou begins to slowly calm down and pats the bot, "Sorry bud...temper got the best of me again." walks out of the shop with bot once again as the manager sighs in relief.

Alliana and Natalia were looking at some scrap parts when the man came into the shop again. Natalia looked at him curiously as he left.
"I felt his soul. It was troubled." She commented. Alliana 'hmm'ed. She eyed a weapon hard and the owner came over, wiping grease off his hands.
"So madams, looking for a defense system is you? Might i recommend the Gize 2000? It's--" Natalia simply cut the man off.
"No we need a replacement of the system Narbina 300 with these special parts Gorbon, some plasma shields..." she rattled off the list on her hands and Alliana was amused by the look on the owner's face. Natalia may not know about human custom, but she sure as hell knew her parts! After Natalia finished naming all the parts, the owner wrote down the price, and Natalia withdrew the bag of gold from her coat.
"I know very well the price of these parts sir, so do not try to cheat us." The owner looked blustered.
"I am an honest man milady---" Natalia shook her head.
"I see your soul. Please do not lie. Simply take the gold and give us our parts. I'll install them myself." Alliana chuckled at this exchange. It was always fun buying spare parts with Natalia.

Kai (got tired of writing kayakou) walks down the street into the slum strip, "We should be able to get a few parts here J-42. (bot's name) The bot beeps subtly and rolls behind him. Kai grins as he steps into a shop, "Yo sis, whatcha got for me today?" "Tch, anything if you're gonna pay ya lazy idiot!" "Aw c'mon sis, I ain't got cash!" "Then go get a job ya bum!" "Ehhh...its not like the good payin jobs will hire a slum mecha like me." Kai kicks a rock across the store floor as he leaves. "Hey, before you go, leave Jay here, I could use his help with the boxes in the back!" "Aight, but if I get a job, send him my coordinates." installs a tracker chip into J. "How much do I owe you for the chip?" "Nothing, he'll pay for it with the work."
Bot description:
Tank rollers on bottom but android like torso mounted ontop, basic claw on left arm and interchangeable hand on right. Hack tools, blow torch, and multiple mech tools.

The spare parts were floating in a bunch as Alliana and Natalia walked outside. Alliana looked at her watch, pressed a side button and spoke into it.
"Oi! Beam up the stuff. Natalia and I are going to go look around though, see if we need anything else. Would you brats like anything?" She heard scuffling and things like 'Lemme have it!" and "Me first I'm older!" Finally Rena's serene voice came on the phone.
"I need a new brush. And some new tunics!" Her brother wrestled the microphone away from her.
"Oi! There's barely any food here. Feed a growing boy why dontcha? Oh get some of those honey buns....they were awesome!!" Alliana nodded and said,
"Fine, be back in an hour..." She watched as the parts were beamed up. Then looked down the street, as the crowd bustled past her and Natalia.
"Well, on we go," Natalia said.

Kai shoves his hands into his pockets and walks around the streets, "Hm...look for a gullible rig owner..." Kai scratches his chin as a kid tackles him, "UNCLE KAYA-KUN!!!" "GAH!" Kai groans as he hits the ground and his niece pins him down, "Gramma is lookin for you..." "Eh...her too?" "You saw Ma I take it?" "Yup..." The girl hits him on the head and gets off, "Where's J?" "At your shop." "YES! I gots a helper then! Bye uncle, gotta go before ma gives my money to your bot!" "Get goin then!" the girl scurries off and Kai sighs, "Ma lookin for me eh...." he begins to trudge down the street and sees the two from the store again, "Hm...she was looking for parts, maybe she needs another mechanic as well?" Kai grins, "Score one for the bum." laughs to himself and approaches the two.

Alliana started going through her grocery list, as it were. Natalia brushed off lint from her clothes, stating simply.
"You know, it took quite a bit of mechanics to build your ship Alliana." Alliana scoffed, looking through her pockets for a handkerchief, she was really hot.
"Yeah, and those traitorous bastards sold the plans to my ship to the guards. If it wasn't for you Natalia, Gods only know what dungeon me and the twins would be rotting in." Natalia chose her words slowly.
"Well, the defense system will take a while. The ship is very large." Alliana frowned and nodded.
"Yes it took about two weeks last time did it?" Natalia nodded.
"And it's hard to run diagnostics by one's self. I think....well, I would like to request for a helper." Alliana found her handkerchief, wiping up her sweat.
"A helper huh? well, I appreciate all you do Natalia so yeah I'd be glad to hire a helper for you." The man from before was down the street and Natalia pointed to him.
"That man. Vampire more like."
