Well, how's this? I'll just throw in a character as one of the main characters, if anyone has any objections just tell me and I can change em lol biggrin
Name: Jeff Danson
Occupation: Gun-for-hire
Age: 35
Description: 5' 5, 130 lbs. Black hair and brown eyes, some scruff for a beard, usually has a big cigar in his mouth, and his hair is loose and longish, disorderly, but falls into place quite nicely.
Bio: Jeff grew up in civilized England, born to a wealthy family he went to parties, ate cakes, and learned how to play games from cricket to poker. Although he grew up in this lavish lifestyle Jeff hated it. He hated getting all ‘gussied up’, as he says now, and being proper, not being allowed to spit or start fights and always having to wear the stupidest hats his parents could buy. But he put up with it because he hated the looks his father gave him when he screwed something up. Until he was 20 and his parents got him into a university in France, ‘one of the best in the world!’ his father had said to him, Jeff wanted to vomit. So, when he got his ticket he got onto his dirigible and went to France. But he had been planning for this day for a long time and had been saving up money for another ticket… to where? He didn’t know, but he would be gone, away from all of the posh dealings of a ‘gentleman’ finally he would be able to spit, curse, and start fights! Drink real alcohol in bars, not that ‘swine spit’ as he calls wine. Jeff picked up all of his… phrases from some time he spent working for mercenaries in the western part of the United States. Despite his wildness, Jeff does have morals, and follows them closely, he only did work for honest folk, and still does to this day… Although, he has been known to take some more shady jobs if the pay is good enough…

I know it's in kinda a RP format... but it is a good way to get all of the aspects of the character across, now we probably won't want to have the readers know everything there is to know about Jeff from the start, where'd be the fun in that?! lol

People in England, at least in the time this would normally take place, would not consider a university in France to be up to standards, England and France are like Oil and Water, it just doesn't mix.

AmadeoAlgeddon "Those who revel in the brilliance of the Sun,"
Not that you will use this format, but In my story in my journal, (First entry available for public viewing by the way!!!) The first entry/chapter starts actually in the main characters past, before her 'injuries' and the death of her parents. She is still a child, and has yet to learn of her parents 'mysterious' past, and sadly will find out soon enough. Too soon for a child, but it is already in her biography, and won't be changing anytime soon, or ever. All part the tragedy that is about to unfold. I think in a later entry, probably third of fourth, she'll wake up and realize she was dreaming about her past, but then again, it depends on how the next entry/chapter goes. Anyways, not to give delve too much into my possible plot, but you could always try something like that. Or we could start in the middle of some action scene where something happens (Exe: child is running down street from some shady characters, a lady is about to be run over by a runaway carriage, the carriage is deliberately trying to run her over, tea time is interrupted by loud explosions, Nack is working in his lab when he blows his assistants eyebrows off, etc., etc.) So, any of this help? I have other ideas, but will stop here to keep from blathering furthur. Everyone please check out my first journal entry please, and tell me what you think! I know it could use a wee bit of work, but otherwise, I think it worked out well! Please and thank you!
"Should take time to dance under the Moon" please disregard this post. This is a JOINT story and is to be created with new stuff, so Algeddon, this means DO NOT use parts from your personal story.

Sorry for any misunderstandings, but I didn't mean use my story. I meant if you need a format, or some small base starting point, go ahead and read it. Otherwise, you're making this as unique as possible, right? Just trying to help you out, not telling you to use my whole story as I write it. Only as a small optional guideline if anyone needs something to start with. Like I also said, these are examples after all. My opinion is not the final decision. It is a joint effort, and every option can help get things rolling. Not trying to make this my story at all, so I'm sorry if you took it that way. I really am not a greedy person like that, and I don't ever mean to be, so I apologize again for any misunderstandings.

We can always just do a make up a line and post thing. It can lead to either a totally random story writing exercise or a pretty awesome one. Such as...
The steam rose through the vents as he stepped off the airship.

Something like that you mean? This could be fun... althought we might want to make it it's own topic.

He slung his ruksack over his shoulder as he took one more look around, then headed north up the walkway out of the crowded docks.
Heh, thought I'd try my hand. I do suppose we should start this in a new topic, and that way this one is free up for suggestions to work out the story, while we attempt to make the story elsewhere. Gets rid of the confusion, especially if one has to sort through all the story lines to see other peoples Ideas, and hope their own Ideas don't get lost in the mess. So, shall we?

Suddenly, he hears rushed bootsteps coming up behind him.
Actually, this kind of thing was my original intention. If you want to make it a seperate thing, that definitely works, though! This was meant to get the creative juices flowing, so anything that comes from this thread makes me happy, for sure!
