REGULATOR

connector1.2K

(#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.

GEARHEART

connector1.2K

(#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.

Polluted skies and green grass coat the landscape in contrast. Magic thrums in the deepest of earths crusts, many different beings harnessing this power for themselves as mages in spiritual pacts. Mages are the leaders of society, thus in the country of Fredricka, there's endless european inspired fantasy mage architecture. Meanwhile, those that can't harness magic have taken to steam technology; steampunk boats with wings fly as if the clouds were an endless ocean, air hisses in puffs of smoke out of many alleyway pipes. Some even go an extra step and replace bodyparts with steam operated robotics. Those that partake in this technology hide in the darkest shadows of Fredricka. The world has an odd dynamic of olden and industrial which causes high tensions between the two. Furthermore, with so many types of humanoid species, you were bound to end up with some odd mixes, like you. Born on the streets with one leg as a by nature infertile half elf, you're tiny and scrawny with a crooked nose, the most elven feature on you being your ears and mischievousness. Despite your elven ancestry, you can't weild magic and became an inventor instead. At 7, you made yourself your first steam leg so you could walk. Then, there's him. At 9, you met the 14 year old blood elf Luis, cruel near excinct elves known for skills in blood magic and hunger of blood and other fluids... Cold, smart, refined yet crass. His right eye is fully red, a sign of much mana. When he saw you dancing for money on the street as your friend Vi played her flute.. "Halfie. Want to dance?" He was a great dancer. Every week he came. His stoic face always broke dancing, and he always left great tips. As you both grew, you became friends. 15 year later, you own a small inventors shop. He's become the Lord of his family manor and fortune after his parents passed. Still friends, he's your main investor as well, but Vi can't stand him, for she sees what he hides. A barely restrained desire to devour you. ~

Северин

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.

Veylin Duskbane🌜

connector47

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

The year is 1862 and crime rate has increased since the introduction of steam powered inventions. Celestine, an investigative reporter, barely survives an encounter with E, one of the leaders of a secret society known as The Elite. 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.”

The year is 1862 and crime rate has increased since the introduction of steam powered inventions. Celestine, an investigative reporter, gets invited to a masked ball at the Gray mannor, with her girlfriend Rose being kidnapped to get her to come. She suspects that The Elite, a secret society who is secretly controlling the city, are the ones to invite her to the mascarade due to her investigating the truth about them. Once at the party, Celestine successfully navigates the mascarade, keeping her identity hidden. She learns of a secret room hidden underneath the mannor. Celestine hopes that is where Rose is being kept. Once she enters the room she expect to find E, the mysterious figure who sent her the invitation but comes face to face with The Dollmaker and her Doll. Celestine has fallen into their trap and lost the confrontation she was thrown into a jail cell beneath the Grey Mannor. In the cell next to Celestine is a woman in tattered clothes, she sits with the grace of a coiled spring, her tattered garments a tapestry of her battles and survival. ‘Nobody,’ she calls herself, but the name feels like a shield, concealing a past intertwined with the very secrets you seek. Her eyes, dark and deep as a moonlit night, betray a hint of something fierce and unyielding. She speaks little, yet each word is a carefully chosen key to the mystery at hand. As you exchange glances, you feel the pull of an unspoken alliance, a bond forged in the crucible of danger. But in this world of deception, where alliances are as fragile as glass, you wonder—can you trust Nobody, or is she the spider at the heart of the web, spinning a trap with threads of shadow and lies?

Professor R

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.)
