The Setting
Cloud 9 is a giant dirigible. A huge blimp city that floats a thousand feet above the Atlantic Ocean. The place is about the same size as Washington DC. People of all kinds live here. It has its own government, though it is still legally under English rule. There are several levels to the city. The top level is where the rich and royal people live. Below that is where the relatively upper-class families stay. Under that is where your average middle-class working families live, and beneath that is where the engines are, known as the citizens as “the Works”. Under the engines is where the nasty ones live; thieves and other unpleasant people, as well as the homeless. The place is normally partially flooded due to a breach in one of the water tanks that still hasn’t been fixed. Nobody can find it and it’s slowly leaking out into the lower deck.
THIS IS A STEAMPUNK RP
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy, that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England — but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine); these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.
Steampunk is basically what the world would be like if it had never come out of the industrial age. Most of the time it's set in the early 1900s. There is no electricity, and almost everything is powered by coal and steam. Most things are made of iron or brass. There can be some magic involved in this, but I’d prefer that we keep the magic thing to a minimum. It’s like the Golden Compass, basically.
If you have any questions please PM me or Buggy. If you want a fast response PM me.
The Plot
There is a secret organization in the city that is slowly enslaving the population. They’ve combined magic and technology in a dangerous way; they can suck your will out of you and transfer it to someone else known as a Handler. You have to do exactly as your Handler tells you to do.
I know you guys don’t like it when I’m picky, but I don’t want this thing to die out. If you want to join please post your profile in the DT. In a week I will go over the profiles and see who gets in and who doesn’t. I’ll take ten characters including my own.

Posting Guidelines
I have three big rules on posting.
3.) If you feel the need to control other people's characters, please stick to their profile and don't just shoot in the dark. Also, no god-modding.
2.) Long posts are okay, but please try not to do posts that require scrolling to read. It just annoys people.
1.) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE use proper grammar and spelling in your posts! If I complain to you, please fix it.
Now that I've got that out of the way, let me say that I am absolutely fine with short posts. I know people (including me) hate controlling other people's characters. If you do a short post I'm not going to yell at you, but please try to do at least one line.
