Plot: A group of adventurers and other competent people gather to go on a conquest to take down an evil tyrant wizard and his army at the Steamclock Tower. Fun for the whole family! Pretty simple stuff. A few rules to remember though. 1. Don't be OP. For the sake of all us, you're not The Fury. 2. Try to be different. A group full of just musket-totting, dramatic, mercenaries is no fun everyone. 3. Be somewhat descriptive. Not a paragraph and all. Just maybe a couple of sentences or so. 4. Don't cheat with the inventory, please. 5. Have fun! Name: Gender: Appearance: Cutie Mark/ Talents: Personality: Inventory/Equipment: Occupation(Optional): Background (Optional):

They lived on the country, hundreds and thousands of miles away from civilization. He now travels to look for any mercenary work.
If it's not too late Name: Spring Lever Gender: Male, Unicorn Appearance:Tan coat, on the small and lean side. At any give time his mane is usually a mess or half burnt off, but underneath the soot it's probably brown. His eyes are blue. Cutie Mark/ Talents: A gear with a pawl attached and just a wisp of smoke. His talent is tinkering, which is not the same as fixing or making. The things he works on are as likely to fail catastrophically as work, but if you never try... Personality: Spring is a motor mouth. He talks and talks about machines and designs and mechanics endlessly. He's never really been comfortable with silence. He doesn't get discouraged easily, if something blows up in your face you count your eyes, apply some burn ointment and get back to work. Inventory/Equipment: Spring has a headset with a variety of lenses built into it, he wears this for fine viewing of tiny components. He wears tool bags stuffed with screwdrivers, spanners, wrenches, hammers and spare parts. His prize possession is a precision set of jeweller's screwdrivers, one of which is so small and fine he claims it is invisible. For self defence he is always tinkering with some device or other, at the moment he has a portable steam launcher which carries a sharpened steel bolt in it. The bolt can be used in close combat as a melee weapon but can also be fired at somepony. Probably it can be fired, it almost certainly will fire. If it fires it will fire in the correct direction this time... or explode, but probably not. Let's just adjust this valve, there! now it will definitely fire. Occupation(Optional): By day Spring is a machinist in a large factory. A very junior machinist, often overlooked for any advancement and never recognized for his contributions. You cause one drill press to barf sprockets like it's new year's morning and everypony gets all up in arms. By night, however, he is a prowling mechanical vigilante fixing the good and sabotaging the bad. In recent times Spring has wondered if he could lend his expertise to a group of likeminded ponies, then he could find some really interesting stuff to break, and fix, but think of how many more spare parts you get when you break something. Background (Optional):Spring was raised in an orphanage, one of industrialization's many casualties. The place was massive, over-crowded and not a little bit cruel. But no one listens to whining unless it's to give it a smack. So you grow up fast and you grow up quickly. When something breaks there's no one to fix it and then everyone is taking cold showers in the middle of winter, so who else is going to fix that? The superintendant says there's no money in the budget. Fast forward a few years and Spring can fix almost everything he takes apart, and those he doesn't he can use for spare parts for the next project. He lives in a tiny little garret above a horseshoe shop and there's seldom enough bits for dinner, but he manages to make enough to get by on with his exploitatively low salary and a few fix-it jobs on the side, and it keeps him going so he can work on his next project, whatever that may be. He's getting really tired of the injustice of the system and the cruelty he sees in the factories. It reminds him of his youth. He knows that machines can be made so well they do not injure their components, or their users. So why can't a factory, or a city or a society? Cruelty and injustice are just imperfections of the system, that can, with work, be tinkered out. He's no diplomat or statesman so he doesn't know how to fix the big things, but he knows that if he keeps working on the small things, a door, a lever, a press, eventually the system will start to improve. Sometime you just have to take things apart a few hundred times before it really starts working well.
