Wellington: His mother is his only family. She’s nice, supportive (mostly), and he sends her whatever he can spare from his pay. His politeness and determination is from both her and his late father.

Seidel: He’s got a large family- a brother, sister, parents, and a maze of cousins, uncles and aunts. He writes letters back to his sister whenever he can. Doesn’t tell her about the whole bag a legend stuff- doesn’t want her to worry. He got most of his vocabulary from her- she’s fair better at English than he is.

Elise: Her father’s dead- died a year before the Fall. She took over his charity work. She’s adopted a few Urchins, but they serve more as business associates than family. She claims not to need a family, but the way she smiles when they return to her shop hints at otherwise.

What is your character's family like? Do they get along well with their family, or are things more strained? How frequently do they interact? Do they have a found family? Do they have no family at all? Have they picked up any specific traits from their family?

do you think liberationists get really into putting candles out? like super jazzed to be doing it?

Wellington: He’s a Professor at Benthic. He enjoys it immensely, and is rather good at it, despite the low student count and pay. It’s not great and not terrible- he gets by, with a little spending cash.

Seidel: I don’t really have a job in mind for him- I feel like he just puts an ad out in the paper advertising his skills and goes from there. Or gambles. He’ll survive, but it’s the meme of being paid biweekly, lol.

Elise: She’s a mortician, or was- the uncertain nature of death down in the deep has her running a tearoom and smuggling ring- she’s fantastic at both, and loves the work, and what she can do with it. It’s going well for her.

What does your character do for a living? Do they enjoy it? Are they good at it? Is it working out well for them, or not going so great?

Murgatroyd hard at work in the Neath?

Falcon in the Dive is very Vake Hunter-coded

granted I am saying this because I put it on Seidel’s playlist, and he’s a Vake Hunter. But I mean come on-

‘How the devil do I ever prevail when I'm only a man?’ - You’re just some Guy out to get a reward

‘A man can learn to steal some thunder,

A man can learn to work some wonder’ - Work some wonder by murderizing a Master

‘For here in hell where life gets cheaper,

Oh, here in hell the blood runs deeper’ - You (at least Seidel did) get to London through Lake Avernus. Literal descent into Hell, Dante’s Inferno style.

Anyways thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I hope it was as incomprehensible as all my posts.

Theorem Get!

I feel like this wasn’t entirely worth it.

I have been working on this for at least a few weeks, I’m genuinely unsure. I am sick of my lab. I am burning any second chances I have. I now hate lab work more than I thought I already did.

my brain jumped from "i should write a FL piracy guide" straight to "i should write a piracy guide In Character" far too quickly

as if that wouldn't be 1 million words long, take forever, and also be 10x more useless written that way bc nobody should listen to twitch. even if they Do actually know about piracy

I've been wanting to make Dr. Müller and the Raven a parody Exceptional Story poster for quite a while now, and it's finally finished! I've been chipping away at this for months in between other arts.

Wellington: He’s 29. Birthday’s the first of October. Posture’s about what you’d expect from a sneaky academic- that is, not greet, not terrible. Slouches when in Polite Company, to make himself smaller (he dislikes dealing with people sometimes). No set color scheme, actually. If I had to make one, it’d be orange, blue, brown and grey. Only distinct trait is his glasses and ponytail. He’s rail thin, about 5’7ish, and pale as a ghost (being underground will do that to you). His main outfit consists of black pants and shoes, a white dress shirt, orange tie, and a brown tweed jacket that’s been patched up by hand- singed, torn, and all sorts of damage has been repaired with a steadily improving hand.

Seidel: He’s 34. Birthday’s the twenty-second of February. Posture’s fantastic- soldiering for a few years will do that to you, plus he likes being In The Way. It’s enrichment to him. Color scheme is dark blue, gold, grey and some slight purple. Has a dueling scar just under his right eye, a scar from a bullet on his right shoulder, and some slight cuts on his left arm- blocking can be tricky, and human instinct is to use your own body to protect itself. Built like a brick shithouse. 5’9. Main outfit is basically the middle uniform here. He does, in fact, have the pickelhaube; he doesn’t wear it much because that would be too gaudy even for him. It gives +4 Dangerous. Is it realistic for him to keep a whole ass uniform? No. Don’t care. The man runs around with like four pistols strapped to him and a sword.

Elise: She’s 62. Birthday’s the nineteenth of May. Posture varies wildly depending on time of day, who she’s around, and her mood. Some say she’s never at the same angle twice. Color scheme is black and yellow and white. No real distinct traits for her, aside from the slowly greying hair. She’s of average build and around 5’5. Her main outfit consists of a black silk top hat, black frock coat, yellow vest and bow tie, and black pants and shoes. Very much a mortician’s outfit, perhaps with too much color though.

What does your character look like? Do they have any notable physical characteristics? Do they have a set colour-scheme? What's their posture like? How old is your character?

The Koloman Republic’s the only place still selling Goncharov shit. As the world turns its back on the best mafia movie ever made, the Republic stays true to what its people want- the best film of 1973.

Finally made a tag for writing- just realized I forgot to make one. #cellar-writing is now live.

[fromthecellarsofoldnewgate]

may actually be planning something about this idea. need to refresh my coilheart knowledge. can’t wait to slack on writing this.

Soviet Machine (Chess in Concert) gives off Koloman Republic vibes.

Professor Oswald A. Wellington II: A classic case of nervous academic crossed with occasional master thief (Light Fingers does that to a man). A rather Ragged Academic. Terrible at parties.

Lieutenant Frederick Gerhard Seidel: Prussian adventurer and nutcase- eager to duel, less eager to sneak. Underdeveloped Bag A Legend (and Sunless Skies) alt, in truth. Godawful at parties- will challenge someone to a duel, as is the way of all (he’s the only one) Prussian Swashbucklers.

Elise G______d: The Last Mortician in all of London (so she styles herself). Runs a small tearoom, contraband ring, and spy network, as well as funeral services, if need be. Actually decent at parties, she just never gets invited to them.

What is your character's name? Do they have any epithets? Nicknames? In the most basic sense, who are they? Give us a general overview of their character, as quickly as you can.

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry
