Zeppelins and Zodiacs OOC

[99luftballons]

Here shall be the OOC for Z&Z!

[99luftballons]

Name: Robert Crewe
Occupation: Captain of the Zeppelin
Age: Elderly
Personality: Demands discipline, honesty and of course complete obedience. He is interested in the classics and loves to read. His favorite weapon is a hand-held steam-powered rifle, boasting long range and a questionable accuracy.
Other things to note: Has governmental influence in the Brit Gov't and also has a crow sitting on his shoulder. He has the pirate missing eye and his other eye has been...built out of steampunk technology. That means his vision is good.

[Helsing]

Name: Harry Coperfeild
Occupation: Inventer and pilot
Age: 21
Personality: Snarky and a bit of an ass to everyone around him but he won't let those he considers friends down. Fights with a steam powered jet pack and twin machine guns (Think a steampunk version of CA: Winter soldiers Falcon).

[99luftballons]

OK. Coperfeild looks good to me!

[Helsing]

He's a mimic of Harry dresden from the dresden files series

Harry Dresden with a steam-powered armory!

Since the Zeppelin is taking off, anyone who wants to join can just have their character replace one of their crew members (AKA we are just going to pretend he/she was along for the entire ride up to current point.).

'ndeed. FYI, I'm going to be borrowing HEAVILY from the Leviathan trilogy.

Crewe stood in the cockpit signaling Harry to take off "Once you are in the air we'll set course for Essex and then cross the channel to avoid French airships."

Okay, earlier you guys were throwing around insults at Prussia. I'm assuming that therefore A) Prussia is still a thing here and B) we're in the middle of an apparent Franco-Prussian war. Between the insults and the statement about avoiding French airships, whose side if any is Britain on? Also, why cross the channel to avoid French airships, aren't they more likely to be up over the Continent than the North Sea?

[Frenchie]

If I may join
William (Wallace) McLain
Occupation: Scottish Grenadier (not what you think)
Personality: not a smart man, but is incredibly battle savvy, and tough. Usually fights with a heavy steam powered rifle, also loves to use his "ceremonial" battle axe (think assasins creed 3 axes)

[99luftballons]

Yes you may join. Anybody at any time in fact.

Also clarification: France is at war with Prussia and Austria and pummeling them. As a result, Britain has pledged to protect the German states from the French Republic. I haven't mentioned this yet, but Spain is also on the French side.
Another clarification: When I said cross the channel I mean from Essex in the direction of Hamburg. Not into France (that would be suicide at best).

[Flagmauth]

What positions aboard the ship are open?

[99luftballons]

Whatever you can think of (guard(s), engineer, cartographer, cook, passenger, hired muscle, etc.). We have a pilot and a captain currently and of course the ambassador to Italy onboard.

[Helsing]

Luft have the leader push Harry off if things get rough it would make for a great wtf moment

[99luftballons]

If you want. Keep in mind that the airships are in midair.

[99luftballons]

By the way, you can create multiple characters if you want...

[Flagmauth]

Why's there a runway? Airships don't need a runway.

[99luftballons]

Wait, how do men just jump onto the deck of the zeppelin while it is flying in midair? The deck is below the Zeppelin balloon part.
