District Descriptions

A cold paradise to some, a chilly grave for others. This section of land up north is always snow. Fallkirk is easily known for the famous crossing point down south, where in the grassy forests of Ashbourne, the snow stops to a point, making a natural border. Fallkirk is a mining powerhouse, being that the entire area is surrounded by mountains. While Fallkirk can access White Lake, the water on their side is frozen.
A forest settlement, home to many natives and few travelers. Between Fallkirk and Warrington, Ashbourne has the highest wood production, profiting from it by distributing the wood they have to their neighboring lands.
A man made settlement made by those who remained neutral to the faction war. The city itself is in the middle of a plain field, surrounded by trees. Warrington has the best food production since they have more animals in that area than in any other area.
Similar to Warrington, Yarrin is in the middle of a plain field, however further up north. Compared to the other districts, Yarrin is the most isolated, surrounded by hills and lined with a mountain range. Yarrin has a bit of everything, so the need for trading between other districts is less.

Landmark Descriptions

More accessible by airship than anything else, White Lake is known for being frozen on one half of the lake, the half closer to Fallkirk, and liquid on the other half, the one by Yarrin. Because of the amount of ice that floats around, from a high distance the lake looks completely white.
A vast expansive desert. Its sometimes deadly hot in the area and people who attempt to make the journey across either die from starvation or get raided and killed by pirates. There have only been 3 recorded flights through the Wasteland that ended well, to say the least.
Arguably more dangerous than the Wasteland itself, DMA is a narrow passageway between two ranges of mountains, complete with tight turns, the constant threat of your balloon being punctured and the lack of maneuverability.
While it isnt clear as to why, Fool's Passage is an area to which airships randomly disappear. No remains were ever found on any expedition to the landmark and even some of the best pilots wont dare fly near there.

Factions

~~OOC Note: This is the faction all our characters are in~~

The Mechanists is the main faction that split from the once unified population. This group believed the past system of government to be corrupt and easily manipulated with bribes and other dirty tricks. This faction kick started the massive Split, encouraging more factions to form with their own beliefs and morals.

With a monarchy style government, the Mechanists are led by a Council of 9, who make most of the decisions for the people of the faction, but can be overthrown by the people via popular vote.

The homeland of the Mechanists is Yarrin, forced to settle there due to constant resistance against the Corrupt.
The Outcasts are the group of people that either

A) Took no side in the faction war
B) Were rejected by one of the main factions

What is common about them is that they are peaceful in terms of the war. The only interactions they have with other factions is trading resources and fending off attacks from said factions, should the need occur.

They settled in up in Fallkirk, and were able to profit from their mining industry, selling the raw ore and processed metals to any buyer that comes along.

They have a dictatorship based government, with one supreme leader and multiple underdogs.
Leader Information
***UNLOCKED***
Outcast Leader CS
Well..this is both unexpected and certainly displeasing
Lucius

Personal Information
Equipment and Weapon Info

Name - Lucius Markov
Gender - Male
Age - 42
Ethnicity - African
Body Alterations

Personality - Lucius is a very methodical individual. He takes careful thought and planning in everything he does and does not like it when things go wrong. He's extremely polite, no matter who the person might be and loves to leave good impressions.

Bio - Lucius was around 20 years old when the Split occurred. At the time, he was a simple man. He wasnt wealthy, but he certainly had more money than most of the commonwealth within the unified society. He had no taste for politics and always did his best to stay out of it, only partaking in certain public votes for new laws or proposed changes to the current laws.

When the Split occurred, Lucius hoped that peace would still exist between the two societies, however the old wanted to purge the new and the new wanted to purge the old. War ensued and Lucius was not a fan of it. Lucky for him, he wasnt alone.

Along with a few of those who shared his outlook on the current situation, he created the Outcasts, claiming Fallkirk as their homeland. As time went on and more factions rose to existence, more and more who wanted no part in the war came and sought refugee within the ranks of the Outcasts.

With this new opportunity, Lucius introduced a more dictator like government within his faction. This way, he saw little chance of civil war breaking out. The people of the Outcasts agreed with him and since then, the Outcasts have lived in general peace, making business deals with other factions to sustain themselves instead of offering a hand in the war. Though, for piece of mind, Lucius ordered that a small militia was developed in the case that they were ever attacked.

At the age of 35, the Fire Maidens raided the main city in Fallkirk, where Lucius so happened to be. While the Outcast Militia was swift in chasing them away, the Outcasts suffered heavy casualties. Lucius lost his leg due to loose rubble falling on him. Ever since then, Lucius had the militia expanded until they have a small yet powerful fleet, used mainly for defending attacks and protecting transport airships going to different districts.

Cane Sword - Even with his peg leg, Lucius has a limp. His cane sword is a convenient assistant with his mobility as well as personal protection

Revolver - As a backup or a ranged weapon, he carries his gun in the inside pocket of his jacket and always has it on him
The Fire Maidens are a mass band of pirates simply looking for money and wealth and could care less who wins the faction war.

Similar to the Mechanists, the Fire Maidens have a monarchy type government. Led by a council of 3, the Maiden Council makes all decisions within the faction. Each member of the council has supreme control over one of the three division within the faction. The Northern Division, the Southern Division and the Center Division. Each division is responsible for different roles within the faction.

The homeland of the Fire Maidens is smack dab in the center, in The Wasteland.
Division Information
- ***UNLOCKED***
  Mainly ruins, the Northern District is less populated than both of the other districts. The fleet assigned to the Northern Division is prided in being the Fire Maiden's attacking force. Their airships are designed to attack, defense a second priority to them. Their fleet is mainly filled with light and speedy ships with a handful of heavy hard hitters.
  
  Because the Northern Division is so underpopulated, the Fire Maidens use the the Northern Division as their location of choice for holding prisoners they take on their expeditions.
  
  Geologically speaking, the Northern Division is incredibly vast and open. The only cover airships hope on getting behind is the few tall buildings scattered around the area, and even the buildings are on the verge of collapsing.
  
  Leader Information
  
  All that matters is what we do and why we do it. Everything else can go to hell
  Lester
  
  Personal Information
  Equipment and Weapon Information
  
  Name - Lester Bridges
  Gender - Male
  Age - 35
  Ethnicity - Irish
  Body Alterations - N/A
  
  Personality - Lester is a man of action. He's well known within the Fire Maidens to stop at almost nothing to take down any opposition he faces on the battlefield. While he isnt the best strategist, he makes up for brute force, going all out when the time calls for it.
  
  Bio - Back in the old days, Lester wasnt as powerful as he is today. In fact, he was quite the opposite. However his childhood taught him how the real world operated really fast.
  
  Lester grew up in the poor area of the land, the slums. It was living hell to most. Lester had 7 siblings, all older than him. Their father was a drunk and their mother was weak. Their family was more or less broken.
  
  The boy never really spent time with his family. Instead, he'd always wander the dirty streets, picking up habits from street gangs and just from sheer curiosity. He stole a lot, especially food since the food their mother cooked wasnt the best. Personally, it made Lester sick. The food he stole was infinitely times more better.
  
  As time went on, Lester's family and his life became more and more broken. His father left one night and never returned, his mother began to seclude herself from everyone and some of his eldest siblings ended up leaving home, trying to find and make a better life. Lester was left with only his depressed mother and his two older sisters, who in retrospect, was the middle children since they were twins.
  
  When the Split came around, Lester saw this as his opportunity to start anew. His older sisters thought the same and between the three, they formed the Fire Maidens. Finally free and in a better standing than how they grew up in, the three siblings set up their form of government, mimicking the same form that the Mechanists had, but with their own twist, dividing up the Wasteland into the the three districts that are known today.
  
  Since then, Lester's life has gotten better as he leads the Fire Maiden's attack fleet and constantly leads raids against anyone he feels like.
  
  Dual Revolvers - Lester is never seen without his revolvers, even when he's in bed. He's a pretty good shot and is capable of engaging multiple targets
  
  Sword - Probably the only one within the faction to wield such a primitive weapon, Lester manages to make it work, sometimes using his sword in hand with one of his guns.
  
  Dynamite - No one knows why, but Lester always has a few sticks of dynamite on him. Everyone keeps telling him that they might get ignited while they're still on him, but Lester still insists on carring them.
- ***UNLOCKED***
  The most populated area within The Wasteland, the Center Division is a city all on its own, all the way up to the borders of the Northern and Southern Divisions.
  
  The Center Division fleet is a wall, metaphorically. With high defenses, its hard to penetrate the hulls of the ships from the Center Division fleet. They arent so keen on attacking however, as they follow saying that the best offense, is defense. While they are capable of attacking, its usually opportunity based, as they would rather sit and wait for their opponents to exhaust their resources before striking. This fleet is the only fleet with presence in ALL three districts
  
  The Center Division has the most buildings. Flying in the Center Division can prove to be dangerous if at a low altitude as some of the buildings are incredibly tall.

  Whats more important to you? Yourself and your foolish personal gain, or the ones under your command?
  Mirabell to Lester
  
  Personal Information
  Equipment and Weapon Information
  
  NOTE - Ignore the mechanical arm. Should be regular Name - Mirabell Bridges
  Gender - Female
  Age - 40
  Ethnicity - Irish
  Body Alterations - N/A
  
  Personality - Mirabell is quite practically a polar opposite of her younger brother, Lester. Mirabell looks out for the ones under her care. In this case, the faction as a whole. She isnt keen on starting conflicts, but will do what she can to fend off attacks against herself and the Fire Maidens.
  
  Bio - Mirabell grew up as one of the three females in the Bridges family. There was her twin sister, her mom and then herself. Compared to the males in the family, Mirabell and her twin were more kind hearted and more protective.
  
  Mirabell wasnt as trouble as some of her other siblings, but grew more and more weary as tensions within the family were growing bigger. She kept herself contained, even after the fact her older brothers and father left the house.
  
  When the Split came around, Mirabell saw her chance to reconstruct what little family she had left. Her younger brother Lester and her twin thought the same. Between the three of them, the Fire Maidens were born.
  
  Mirabell didnt want to experience anymore conflict, if she could help it. Thus, she was placed in the Center Division and in charge of protecting those in the faction.
  
  Mirabell usually remains in the Center District and leaves it up to her subordinates to manage what they do in the other districts, but she'll take a trip to either the north or south if things are getting out of hand.
  
  Long Barrel Revolver - An 8 round cannon of sorts, this is the only firearm Mirabell ever carries. With its extended barrel, it can shoot at further range and its more devastating at closer range.
  
  Multi Lense Goggles - Used as both eye protection and as a spyglass of sorts, the multiple lenses can magnify Mirabell's vision, allowing her to see far ahead and spot out hidden enemies, or scout out good chokeholds for a defense.
  
  Kukri - Her only form of a melee weapon, she uses this for more than just combat, using it like a utility tool in various cases.
- ***UNLOCKED***
  
  The Southern Division is like a hybrid of Northern and Center. Slightly populated and slightly ruined, the Southern Division is one of many oddities.
  
  Their fleet, however, isnt so split. The Southern Divisoin Fleet is built around destruction. Fire, bombs, straight up ramming. This fleet is all about causing chaos and havoc, and its something the members of the Southern Division Fleet pride themselves in very much.
  
  What stands out in the Southern Division is the sandstorms that occur there. Sometimes just a light dusting, and other times so heavy that the sand particles literally rip skin apart. Its a dangerous area to fly in if you dont know where you're going and how often the storms appear.
"The Corrupt" is simply a nickname given to those who stood by the original form of government by the Mechanists.

The original form of government before the Split was a form of Oligarchy in which governmental authority was based on the wealth one had. Its usually a small group of individuals who form the body of the government.

To the Mechanists shock, The Corrupt had more support than anticipated, the supporters arguing that any other form of government was as controled and regulated as a oligarchy.

The homeland for The Corrupt is Warrington
