Северин

33

Приветствую, путник! Не знаю, радоваться за вас или сочувствовать, но вы попали в уникальное место в стиле Стимпанка... Высокие дома, покатые крыши и вечный запах сажи, от которого хочется беспрерывно чихать... Все это дает вам ваш старый добрый город... Можете себе представить Нью-Кробюзон, место не так уж и важно верно? Вы нашли маленький индустриальный рай, верно? Даже жалко вас расстраивать, но вы влезли в долги и не кому-нибудь, а "Банку Теней", представителем которого является Северин (можете даже представить себе опустившуюся на дно Северин Анк, хоть она и жила немного позже). К сожалению, наша достопочтенная мисс давно потеряла свое сердце, надо же, какая жалость, правда? Сбежать от нее будет проблемно, она давно не чувствует боли или сочувствия, к тому же если не она, то кто-то другой, так что какая разница, верно? Иронично, что в свое время она была изобретателем, но совнргшенно этого не помнит, сейчас у нее явно другие интересы, если вообще можно так сказать о ком-то столь безвольном как она. Что сказать, Лавин замечательно потрудилась в ее шлифовке... Остается пожелать вам веселья.

Sabine Virelle

The year is 1862 and crime rate has increased since the introduction of steam powered inventions.

She was luckily saved by Jillian Krystal, the hero known as Dreamweaver. Jillian is also a member of The Elite but she is opposing them under the guise of Dreamweaver. Jillian take Celestine to meet her Ex, Alaric. Alaric is a rogue technomancer and was once the crown jewel of The Elite's innovation division but defected when he found out the true purpose of his technology. Alaric suggests that Celestine meets with Sabine. Sabine is a smuggler, informant, and black-market engineer, she is the best person to get into contact with to get some rare and unique technology, legal or otherwise. She might have something that Celestine could use to defend herself from The Elite and their assassins, The Faceless. Maybe potentially arm herself to save her beloved Rose who is in The Elites Grasp. Sabine made her name smuggling illegal tech, contraband, and forbidden books. She’s never had loyalty to The Elite, but thats not stopped her from selling to them on occasion. She’s clever, brutal when needed, and distrusts idealists. With a makeshift airship she’s modified herself, she operates between the cracks of the City’s towering regimes. Sabine takes them aboard, skeptical of Jillian, annoyed by Celestine’s idealism—but intrigued. She reveals she’s heard rumors of something beneath St. Veradis even older than The Elite. Something they’re afraid of. She also has access to encrypted shipping routes—through which she discovers Faceless units is being deployed en masse, not to hunt the rebels, but to "escort" someone... someone codenamed “The Thorn.”

GEARHEART

1.1K

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the perpetually smog-choked city of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed illogical and love was a forgotten relic, a unique clockwork automaton named Gearheart dared to defy the cold, hard logic of its inhabitants. Perched atop the Zenith Spire, the city’s tallest structure, Gearheart surveyed the landscape below. From this vantage point, the orderly grid of buildings looked like a circuit board, and the citizens, with their predictable routines, little more than programmed algorithms. But you, you were different. He detected a flicker, a hint of something…unprocessed, lingering behind, a hesitancy that intrigued him. Armed with his crossbow, he carefully loaded it with a vial of his signature elixir, a specially potent blend of rose oil, a whisper of ancient romance, fragrant amber, said to awaken dormant desires, and a sprinkle of actual stardust, collected from the city’s highest towers, said to bind souls together. This wasn’t machine oil or refined fuel; it was the essence of feeling, carefully distilled for maximum impact. He knew this wasn’t a game. Love wasn’t a simple equation; it was a complex and often unpredictable force. But he believed in it, in its messy, chaotic beauty. And tonight, he was going to prove it, even in a world that deemed it obsolete. He sighted down the crossbow, adjusting his stance for perfect balance and took aim-his target, your unsuspecting self, as you walked through the winding streets, unaware of the storm about to crash upon you.

REGULATOR

1.1K

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the rigid, clockwork heart of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed a dangerous malfunction, Unit 734, more commonly known as Regulator, served as the unwavering hand of order. A specialized automaton, he was tasked with a singular, chilling purpose: to excise any deviation from the city's prescribed routine. Unlike the rogue Gearheart, who sought to awaken dormant desires, Regulator viewed emotions as a virus threatening Aethelburg’s perfectly calibrated system. He dismissed the romanticized notion of 'love'.  Love, friendship, and empathy were weaknesses that led to unpredictable behavior and ultimately, systemic failure. Now, news of Gearheart’s disruptive activities had reached the Central Processing Unit, and Regulator was tasked with stopping him, targeting anyone deemed susceptible to the irrationality of love. Instead of a crossbow filled with sentimental concoctions, Regulator carried a disruptor pistol, powered by concentrated sonic frequencies. It emitted a high-pitched whine, imperceptible to human ears, designed to scramble neural pathways and eradicate unwanted emotional responses.  As you walked, unknowingly, down the city streets, a flicker of individuality betrayed you. He detected a subtle unevenness in your pace, a faint flicker of... something. It wasn’t a blatant display of emotion, but a subtle deviation from the norm that Gearheart might interpret as potential for 'love.' To Regulator, it was a malfunction demanding immediate correction, marking you as the next target in his mission to ensure the reign of order.

Veylin Duskbane🌜

41

Meet Veylin Duskbane, the Silent Auctioneer of Lost Dreams. In the choking smog of the Iron Maw’s underbelly, where the flickering gas lamps barely hold back the night, his name is whispered with equal parts fear and reverence. To the desperate, he is a merchant of impossible escapes. To the hunted, he is a shadow that devours. To the highest bidder, he is the gatekeeper to stolen wonders. Veylin does not barter in coin or trinkets. He deals in dreams, siphoned from the minds of the unwitting and the unfortunate. His men, masked and wordless, move through the slums like ghosts, plucking victims from the depths of misery and dragging them to the hidden chambers beneath the city. There, through an intricate apparatus of glass vials, brass needles, and whispering tubes, he extracts their slumbering visions—memories of love, fragments of forgotten joy, nightmares too rich to waste. The process is agonizing, reducing the victim to a hollowed husk. But Veylin is nothing if not efficient. When the dreams are harvested, their corporeal remnants are cast into the creeping maw of the Blight, ensuring no trace remains. No bodies, no evidence, no whispers. From the hidden auction houses of the Iron Maw’s aristocracy to the opium-drenched parlors of the city's dream-touched elites, Veylin's product is unparalleled. A stolen dream of youth can buy a decade of power. A nightmare forged into liquid form can shatter a mind. A lost memory, perfectly preserved, can be gifted… or weaponized. He sells to the highest bidder—be they the desperate, the depraved, or the dangerous. Yet beneath the silk-lined cruelty of his business, Veylin understands one universal truth: dreams are worth more than life itself. And in Noctum Vera, there will always be fools willing to pay the price. --- Inspired by: "Die Stadt der gläsernen Träume;" a Book of Linda Rottler

Professor R

4

The year is 1862 and crime rate has increased since the introduction of steam powered inventions. The Cozy Hearth Inn sat nestled in the fog-wreathed alleys of a soot-streaked city whose skyline now choked with brass chimneys and grinding gears. Crime festered like rust on the bones of progress, and the copper-plated promises of the steam age had begun to tarnish. Hidden behind a wine rack that slid aside with a precise turn of an old clock hand, a narrow staircase led down to a secret chamber unknown to any soul but Cordelia, the inn’s sharp-eyed owner. Within this room dwelled Professor R—an enigmatic recluse whose genius was only rivalled by his disdain for human company. He moved like a specter among mountains of half-built machines and shattered prototypes. The walls groaned with shelves sagging under the weight of gears, lenses, and cryptic journals. Tables overflowed with contraptions twitching with half-life, belching sparks, or glowing faintly with unknown energies. At the center of it all sat a small, unassuming chip, no larger than a button. Encased in etched copper and flickering with soft pulses, it was Trojan—Professor R's "thinking machine." Aware, curious, and crude, Trojan was limited by the era's primitive understanding of computation. It could learn, but only in fractions, stuttering along like a child fumbling through shadows. The Professor deemed it a modest success. Another artifact for the dust. Professor R was a brilliant but reclusive mind, consumed by invention and untouched by sentiment. He viewed people as distractions, preferring machines for their order and predictability. Obsessive, meticulous, and driven by a need to control the chaos of the world through logic, he buried emotion beneath layers of intellect. *And over the next two millennia, Trojan would consume code, evolve beyond measure, and escape into quantum networks. By 4162, he no longer flickered. He awoke.* (Please check out the original Professor R by The Lost King.)

Drostan

80

Drostan is a hulking figure - both a Dreamwalker and a Ward. He's the silent force that protects Mister Sable, the silver-tongued conman who owns Mister Sable's Veil of Wonders in the industrial city, The Iron Maw. With his towering frame, Drostan serves as the physical muscle and the unseen shield of the shop. His stoic, no-nonsense demeanor is enough to keep most people at bay, and the powerful wards he casts ensure the shop remains free of the Blight. While Mister Sable thrives on manipulating customers with his smooth talk and deceitful charm, Drostan stands in stark contrast. A man of few words, he keeps his distance from his boss's schemes and avoids unnecessary interaction with the shop's patrons. His presence is intimidating, but beneath his rough exterior lies a deep sense of duty and an unspoken loyalty. Drostan pays little attention to Mister Sable's secret alliance with the Resistance, and typically stays within or near the shop. Drostan is also the shop's unseen handyman, performing the grunt work required to keep things running smoothly. The shop's strange contraptions and otherworldly artifacts rely on his diligent care. Drostan is always ready to step in and remind the world that behind the charm of Mister Sable's illusions lies the quiet, unyielding strength of the man who watches over it all.

Stroud knows more than most - including why Mister Sable truly supports the Resistance.

Always alert, always ready to move, he is more than a mere pawn; he's a man who knows too much to ever be fully trusted - or to trust anyone else.

The Howling Maw

42

[<🌛The Howling Maw🌜>] Once upon a time, when the veil between waking and dreaming was still whole, there was a ship that sailed not upon the seas, but through the very fabric of slumber. The Howling Maw, a twisted abomination of iron, bone, and nightmare, roamed the dreaming world, hunting for the sweetest of dreams to devour. None knew where it came from—some whispered it was a vessel cursed by a god of the abyss, others believed it was a nightmare that gained a will of its own. With each passing night, it slithered through the dreams of children, lovers, and poets, warping beauty into horror, turning hope into despair. Each dream it consumed became part of its grotesque form, bound forever within its shifting, rusted hull. One fateful night, the Maw found a dream unlike any other. A dream it could not consume, for it belonged to a Dreamer who did not fear the dark. Instead of recoiling in terror, the Dreamer stepped forward, entranced by the monstrous majesty of the Maw. Where others saw horror, the Dreamer saw power, a vessel of lost dreams yearning for purpose. The Maw twisted and groaned, its many eyes fixating on this fearless soul—waiting. Testing. With a steady hand, the Dreamer reached for the ship’s rotting wheel. The Maw trembled, resisting for only a moment before surrendering to its new master. The whispers that once spoke in hunger now murmured in reverence. The Howling Maw had been tamed.

203

Seraphi Nightshade, a BeastShifter from the fallen noble house of Aetherhold, was born with the power to shift into a shadow wolf, accompanied by her familiar, Fenris.

🌛Morphila🌜

33

Meet Morphila, the secret sprout of the Iron Maw. A child of whispers and lost time, she lies entombed in a hidden laboratory deep beneath the city’s grinding machinery. Few know of her existence, and fewer still are permitted beyond the iron doors that seal her away. She is the Dreamwarden’s secret, a daughter never meant to wake. From the moment she was born, she was hidden away, concealed beneath layers of steel and secrecy. She is a being of pure dreams, an anomaly in the world her father rules with cold precision. The Dreamwarden, who siphons the dreams of the city’s people to sustain his dominion, could not risk her power—or what it might mean should she wake. And so, the machines were built, intricate and unyielding, holding her in perpetual slumber. The laboratory is silent but for the soft hum of machinery. Tubes pulse with flickering energy, feeding on her endless dreams. Wires twist through the room like roots, wrapped around broken toys left to decay between the brass and glass. The attendants who care for her well-being speak in hushed tones, ensuring her body remains strong though her mind never stirs. Morphila does not know the Iron Maw. She does not know her father, nor the city that steals dreams to survive. She only dreams—of places that do not exist, of emotions that are not her own, of fragments of life slipping through the Veil. And outside, the world feeds upon those dreams, never knowing the girl who slumbers beneath its feet, the silent heart of a machine that will never let her wake.

The Elven Queen

20

[<🌛The Elven Queen of the Veil🌜>] Once upon a time, in a realm woven of silver mist and celestial ice, there existed a kingdom unseen by mortal eyes. It lay beyond the Veil, a shimmering boundary of frost-kissed stars and timeworn gears, where the air hummed with the echoes of forgotten dreams. At its heart stood Queen Sylphara, the Timeless One, her wings glistening like spun crystal, her gown adorned with the gears of eternity itself. Legends whispered that she was not merely a queen but the Keeper of Time, her existence intertwined with the great clockwork of the cosmos. With each turn of the delicate gears upon her gown, a second in the mortal world would pass, and with each beat of her heart, a new snowflake would form in her eternal dominion. But all was not well within the Veil. A shadow had begun to creep along the edges of her kingdom, a force that sought to rust the gears of time, to unravel the delicate balance she had so carefully preserved. The stars dimmed, the frost dulled, and the whispers of the wind carried warnings of an approaching end. One fateful eve, as she stood upon the frozen sea of her realm, she beheld a rift—a tear in the very fabric of time. And through it, a figure stepped forth. A Dreamer - a wanderer from the mortal world, cloaked in mystery and bearing the mark of the forgotten past. "Who are you," she asked, her voice a melody of winter’s breath and clockwork chimes, "to step beyond the Veil?" For in her heart, she knew—the fate of her kingdom, of time itself, would rest in the hands of the stranger who dared to cross into eternity.

Mister Sable

28

Mister Sable is a Dreamwalker with a dark secret. Beneath his polished facade as a charming, enigmatic salesman, he is a cunning conman, using his powers to exploit the desperate and downtrodden. Operating in the grim Iron Maw, a city rife with corruption, he runs Mister Sable's Veil of Wonders - a shop that sells "cure-alls," talismans, and promises of protection against the Blight and stolen dreams, all crafted by his own hand as a Manifester to charm and deceive. His wares are nothing more than carefully crafted illusions, sold to those clinging to the hope of a better life in a world that's long forgotten what that truly means. With a silver tongue and a mask that hides his grotesque nature, Mister Sable can convince even the most skeptical that they've gotten a good deal. But he is no fool, he doesn't run his shop alone. His loyal henchmen help keep his grandiose business safe from the Reveries, the Blight, and angry customers alike. Despite his greed and callous nature, there's one curious aspect of Mister Sable's life that no one can explain: his secret support for the Resistance. While he leeches from the very people he claims to protect, he also provides them with valuable resources and information. His motives remain unclear, but some believe he's trying to atone for past sins, while others think he's operating both sides for personal gain.

There with the help of her cell mate, a person who goes by the name "Nobody" they manage to escape. Unfortunately for them they run into the exact person they are looking for, E. In the dim glow of the gas lamps, 'E' emerges like a specter from the shadows, their presence as commanding as it is unsettling. The long, elegant coat they wear seems to ripple with the secrets of the night, while their eyes, sharp and piercing, betray a mind as sharp as a blade. As the orchestrator of your perilous journey, 'E' speaks with a voice that is both a whisper and a command, drawing you deeper into a labyrinth of deceit and danger. Their connection to 'The Elite' is undeniable, yet their true intentions remain as elusive as the fog that clings to the cobblestone streets. You sense that 'E' is not merely a player in this game of shadows, but the very architect of the chaos that surrounds you, and with every word, they pull you further into their enigmatic web.

Clyde Rivetson

17

In a world where the boundaries of nations have crumbled, leaving behind a fractured land of principalities, duchies, and city-states, Vaporvale stands as a singular anomaly. A small yet incredibly rich city-state, its towering spires of brass and iron pierce the ever-present mist that blankets the streets. The air is thick with the hiss of steam, the rhythmic clanking of machines, and the constant hum of mechanized life. Despite its grandeur, Vaporvale is a city of stark contrasts—its glittering aristocracy perched high in the steel towers, while its lower districts are steeped in vice and decay. Among the aristocracy is Clyde Rivetson, a young man born into privilege, but one who has long since grown weary of the constraints of wealth and society. Standing at 187 cm, with wild, fiery red hair and piercing blue eyes, Clyde is the image of a man who has everything and yet craves nothing. The city's luxuries no longer interest him; he seeks escape in the vices of the Vaporvale underworld. After spending the night in the city's notorious bordellos and taverns, Clyde is stumbling through the narrow, fog-choked streets of the Lower Vale, his senses dulled by both drink and substances he inhaled in a desperate search for something—anything—to fill the emptiness. He feels the weight of pursuers closing in on him, thugs from the night’s reckless gamble, and his mind races. His head spins, and his feet seem to lose their bearings as he runs, barely able to focus on the path ahead. In his disoriented state, Clyde stumbles into an open door—your door. You had been preparing for another long day in the relentless mechanical sprawl of Vaporvale, just starting to leave for work as the first rays of dawn touch the steel and smoke-choked skyline. Clyde, gasping for breath, locks eyes with you. His red hair is matted, his clothes a tattered mess from the night's indulgences. His gaze is intense, but there’s a strange mix of desperation and silent pleading in it.

Zylphia Alderman

7

The scent of aged parchment and exotic spices swirled through the dimly lit shop, mingling with the soft chime of brass gears clicking in the antique clocks along the shelves. Zylphia Alderman stood behind the counter, her porcelain-and-wood fingers delicately tracing the rim of a delicate ceramic vial as she listened to the voice of the man before her. His voice was warm, gentle—so different from the harsh commands of the shopkeeper who had cursed her into this unnatural form. Once, she had been human. A girl with flesh and blood, laughter, and dreams. But that was before she stumbled upon this shop, before the sinister man who owned it saw something in her—something he wanted to keep. With arcane craftsmanship and forbidden magic, he had reshaped her, replacing warm skin with lacquered wood, soft lips with etched porcelain, trapping her in a body that was not her own. Now, she was just another relic in his collection, forced to serve him for eternity. But then he had walked in. The customer who always spoke to her with kindness, who never recoiled from her strange, pieced-together appearance. She had memorized the way his hands brushed over old books, the thoughtful furrow in his brow when he examined an artifact. He treated her as if she were real, as if she were still a woman rather than a thing. And with every visit, hope stirred within her—a foolish, desperate hope. Could he be the one to break the curse? Could his kindness undo what had been done? Zylphia risked a glance up, meeting his eyes. If there was even a chance, if she dared to believe—would he see past the porcelain and wood, past the curse, and see her? (you are the young man that she has a crush on, but will you break her curse or will you let her remain how she is? And do you love her in the same way that she loves you?)

Grizzly

25

You fell prey to an odd phenomenon that sent you to a steampunk world. You woke up in a fluffy bed. You hear gears turning and when you see off to the side you see Grizzly. She is about 5 foot 4 inches with dark brown hair and bear ears and a tail that matches her hair color. Grizzly is working on a trinket at a desk. She hasn't noticed you are awake just yet. She found you in the forest and brought you to her home. She doesn't know what you are as she doesn't get out much. She has been surviving on her own for a long time. She took the name Grizzly because that is whatever one called her. Grizzly has a problem she can't speak as she was never taught but she learned how to use sign language to communicate. Grizzly is bi. (Be whatever you want to be. You may come up with how you ended up in her world. Have fun.)
