”Misfits, Freaks, Lunatics, and Monsters. We’ve heard them all from the people within the kingdoms.”
The floating gilded city of Arywa, kept afloat by rotating gears, large wing-like expansions, and a filter that pumps helium into the undergrounds of the city. It was made after mankind ruined the earth below with pollution, poisons, and war. But the sky was a whole new horizon and brought about a new era based around the older ones of history. No electronics, no electricity, just steam, gears, and power provided by the sky. Sadly, it recreated prejudice for skin color, eye color, genetic mutations, blindness, etc. But it also brought about the birth of the Airship; massive crafts that either fly like zeppelins or stay afloat by filter systems, helium in the pipes, and large canvas wings. Every ship is composed differently, from the small merchant ships to the massive brig ships. But the skies for miles around Arywa’s main merchant routes have come under attack by a gang of pirates, their ship is named Iriduim and is a massive iron-gold, polished cherry wood, copper, and silver canvas beast. It sports the common wing feature and steam filter seen on brig ships but travels with no sound, attacking ships and tearing through them with its reinforced hull before members of the crew swoop down on canvas and false feathered gear wings too collect the pay from midair. The people are too afraid to trade with Arywa and the people are beginning to grow ill and in need of food and supplies, so four militia members are sent too board and infiltrate the ship. Their job is to collect information and bring it back. But once they find out the real story behind the ‘Golden Angels’ will they even want too?

.:The Rules:.

- All LioDen rules apply.

- Godmodding and powerplay are not acceptable. The only characters you have the right to control are your own and no one here is invincible. You will be called out and warned if you do either.

- Gilded Skies will include some dark themes, but mature content/18+ will need to either fade to black or be taken off site in compliance with LioDen’s roleplay rules. This would include sexual content, birthing or excessive gore/violence.

- This is intended to be an intermediate to advanced roleplay. You will be required to post at least one paragraph (5 sentences) and practice proper grammar. No one liners as they do nothing but stop the progression of the rp.

- Please be active. Inform me if you need to drop or take a hiatus.

- Do not use any artwork that you did not create yourself as a reference for your character unless it was specifically made for you. Please provide proof. Art theft will not be tolerated by me at all.

- You may use photo references, but you MUST link back to the original source. I will not accept applications using unsourced or improperly sourced pictures. Tinypic, Pinterest and Photobuck generally do not count as original sources.

- You can have up to four characters per person. If you prove to be active than you may request a fifth character.

- Swearing is allowed, but don’t overdo it.

- We expect everyone to be polite to one another out of character. If you have a real problem with someone, PM me and i will get it sorted out.

- Limit 1x1 this is supposed to be a group roleplay. Give everyone a chance to respond before moving on. Wait two posts before you post again.

- If you suffered this far tell me your favorite character of another person!

- This RP is LGBTQ+ friendly. Don’t like it or have a problem with it then either ignore it or leave please. Discrimination will not be tolerated.

- No same character mates.


.:Golden Angel Rules:.
• Respect your captain. Mutiny will not be tolerated by anyone.
• Show each other respect, they are you’re family now.
• Traitors. Will. Not. Be. Tolerated.
• Everyone has their own unique traits, do not belittle anyone because of it.
• Money is too be evenly split up by all. Other stuff is too be eaten or taken back to the ‘Dragon’s Hoard’.
• ‘Once you’re family, you’re always family.’ Once you join, there is no backing out.
• Take no prisoners unless the ship will benefit, and leave no witnesses.
.:Militia Rules:.

Jekyll Quill



Name
Jekyll Ark Quill

Age
27

Gender
Male

Rank
Doctor

Orientation
Pansexual

What makes them an Outcast
Albinism

Wing type?
Painted silver aluminum wings with lots of joints and fake blue feathers. Designed to look semi-realistic by moving around similar to actual bird wings, but they still have a very mechanical-esque appearance.

Appearance
Although Jekyll has albinism, he attempts to make himself blend in with the "normal" society by dying his hair jet black. His hair is quite messy, a little shorter at the back of his scalp, leading to a fringe that covers just below his eyebrows; if you're not paying attention you rarely see his eyes through the hair, but he definitely can see you. His eyes are a very light grey with blue streaks, and his eyebrows are very thin and angled. He has a doll-like face and a pointed chin, and a blushing galaxy of small grey-ish freckles across his nose and cheekbones. He wears thin goggle-like mechanical glasses that sit perfectly on his nose, holding a bright green lens, but with the occasional slip or wonky positioning. Standing at 164cm tall, Jekyll certainly isn't the tallest of the group. His frame is very thin, with a sleek shape and hardly any intimidation about him, making him seem very approachable. He tends to wear an off-white shirt and a brown suit gilet that will occasionally come undone if he's been in battle. He generally has quite a neat look about him, but sometimes despite his best efforts he does end up looking a little scruffier after being rushed about. Jekyll has a very kind aura about him, but he thinks that sometimes he gets in the way of things.

Personality
Jekyll has a habit of overthinking things; being quite intelligent he can sometimes overanalyze a situation and come to a conclusion a bit too quickly. Because of this, he often has pre-judgements of people based on how they look at him, how they stand around him, how they talk around him, etc.
Social anxiety is one of his weak points, making him a bit overly cautious around other people to try and make sure they appreciate him. He believes that everyone doesn't really want him there, and that false belief has led him to think he should probably just stay out of the way for most occasions. Consequently, he likes to stay in his cabin when most of the crew are taking a break or stopping somewhere for supplies. This can make him seem pretty antisocial, but really he does want someone to talk to him, just to cancel out his unending fear of being hated by the crew.
Once someone does manage to coax him out of his cabin, he can be pretty entertaining in one-on-one conversations, having a range of different humors and adapting to how the other person thinks. In bigger groups he tends to keep to himself unless someone asks him a question, resulting in a nervous and overly-polite answer.
Jekyll has a stutter when he's nervous, and can tend to start fiddling with his fingers or glasses to try and calm himself down. This usually happens around big audiences of people, and if things continue to go badly (in Jekyll's eyes) he'll most likely retreat to his cabin again. Being an incredibly emotional character, he really doesn't like being confronted. This makes him quite prone to crying, or having nervous breakdowns, although he manages to take care of it quite well whilst alone in his cabin. On occasion, you could probably hear Jekyll having one of these crying episodes in his cabin, muttering terrible things about himself and occasionally panting as he tries to catch his breath. Fortunately for him, this rarely happens in just normal situations, only getting seriously upset when the attention is on him for doing something bad.
Anxiety aside, Jekyll is a very kind-hearted individual who cares about the crew, just wanting to make sure none of them get hurt. He gets nervous around fights between crew members, and tends to spend most of his time hiding away in his cabin.

Family Relationships
Jekyll still keeps in touch with his family, sending letters to them, although they never send any back. He has a father, a mother, and two sisters. He likes to think they still love him, but deep down he knows they don't want anything to do with him anymore.

Father - William Quill [alive]
Mother - Veronica Quill [alive]
Sister - Keri Quill [alive]
Sister - Emily Quill [alive]

Views
Urui Jax Cipher - "I trust him, I think he's a very good captain with good intentions."

Casimiro Herrara - "He seems nice enough, I just don't like the lack of emotion he seems to have; it makes me worried."

Danica Reyes - "I don't really talk to her much, I think our personalities clash a bit."

Richard Phoenix - "I like him, but I really don't like it when he's upset or angry."

Obroox Buile - "He's a really friendly guy, I'd like to talk to him more."

Biwix "Danny" Pleasant - "I like having him around, he's not too loud or rude, and he doesn't talk much so the calm is nice."

Nikita Stone - "I really don't want to get on her bad side, I'm quite careful around her."

Annie Vargas - "She scares me a bit, I've heard her talking to herself quite a lot."

Maris Barnett - "She seems really nice, I wish I could talk to her properly."

Sawyer Choi - "I do like him when he's not upset, but I understand. He seems pretty skillful, I'd like him to show me his inventions."

Nathanial Tate - "He's awesome, I like how he thinks, and he's always really friendly."


Crush/Lover
Biwix [Jek's crush]

Brief History
Jekyll grew up in a family that focused on raising fish in a man-made environment, since there are no oceans in the sky. They raised the fish and sold them to people for food, often selecting fish like salmon, cod, haddock and prawns.
Jekyll's mother was interested in a technique used by Japanese cooks to prepare fish, often making sushi for her children to try. Due to this, Jekyll has a liking for seafood and anything salty or fishy.
He never really was accepted by his family, being an albino, they tried to pretend that they loved him but deep down they didn't really know how to react to such a strange child. As Jekyll got older, he began to realize this and took the effort to dye his hair black, trying to seem like a 'normal' person.
Once he left his family to get a job, they never really looked back at him. Jekyll just pretends that his letters must get lost along the way to his parent's house, since he never gets a reply.

Name
Lewis Parker

Age
19

Gender
Male

Rank
Hidden Militia

Orientation
Pansexual

Fake outcast or real
Real, he has chimera/vitiligo skin disease, leaving half of his body white and the other half black. He's learnt to ignore the looks he gets from people though.

Appearance
Lewis has an evenly split skin colour, having his left side completely "pearl" and his right side completely "hazelnut" (described in his own words). His eyes are dark green and quite vibrant, although usually looking quite thoughtful or distant. His face is very angled, with a pointed chin and thin nose, leading to semi-high cheekbones and furrowed eyebrows, whilst his lips are a fairly average shape with a prominent Cupid's bow. His hair is literally white, apart from the dark brown roots near the bottom of his scalp, and allowed to stick up in all different directions; this gives him a rather messy but attractive appearance. He has rough (but thin) decoration of dark brown facial hair, quite evenly trimmed to give him a masculine look, despite his rather feminine features. He has a dazzling grin, almost as if it were designed to make people swoon; usually appearing whilst he's in battle or offending somebody. He normally sports a black shirt with the two top buttons undone, as well as a grey suit gilet with his valuable silver watch in the top pocket. On top of that, he has black trousers and a short dark red and thigh-length trench coat. He carries his sword everywhere with him, even to bed, and his wings are classic copper casted with white fabric between the frame. He wears a necklace with a puzzle piece on the chain; the symbolism is unknown.

Personality
Lewis is incredibly determined and headstrong, wanting almost desperately to prove that he's a good character. Because of this he's very quick-tongued in conversations, often coming up with witty comments to make at other crew members. Due to this, he can often come across as very rude or arrogant. In honesty, he just doesn't want to come across as slow or stupid, so he'll go to extreme measures to prove how intelligent he is.
Although he can seem insecure about his knowledge, Lewis is actually incredibly clever, as he can prove in particular situations that include planning skilled attacks or navigation. He's very talented in mathematics, physics and psychology, normally examining people and already deducting their mental weaknesses or illnesses. Unfortunately this means he can make people feel rather uncomfortable in his presence, pointing out - usually in front of everyone - what they're scared of or anxious about. Understandably, this can be very embarrassing.
Excluding his quick attitude, Lewis actually hates being in charge. He'll accept putting other people down, and upsetting them, but when it comes to actually leading them he suddenly turns into a kitten among rabid, starved wolves.
His humor can be very dark or rude, quite often taking advantage of extremely sexual innuendos. You can be sure that if there's the chance, Lewis will point out the rude side of everything and somehow make a joke out of it. However his brilliant smile will convince you to forgive him; he's just too charming, ya know?
Lewis is a party animal, there's no doubt about it. When the crew is celebrating something he will get quite drunk, smoke, flirt with virtually everyone, etc.; really the only way to make him sane again is if you knock him out.
Unfortunately for everyone, Lewis is also pretty crazy; even when he's not drunk he's acting completely mad around the ship and threatening people with his sword. He loves gunpowder, the sound it makes, the smell, the damage; he would bathe in it if it wasn't so crazy.
He's a very giggle-y person, quite often grinning or laughing at the most inconvenient times (yet another reason why people see him as rude).
Lewis, on the subject of romance, is incredibly possessive of his partner, refusing to let them flirt with anyone else (even though he thinks it's alright for himself to flirt with other people). He's very rough with his love, quite often becoming violent or abusive, but only if his partner isn't loyal to him.
Generally, he's a pretty dangerous man; a honey trap, completely mad, a party animal, and a bit of a psychopath. Take caution around him.

Family Relationships
Lewis has only recently left his family, and they're quite worried about him being accepted into the world; however he is still very determined, and not about to look back to his parents.

Father - Quentin Parker [dead]
Mother - Jane Parker [alive]

Brief History
Lewis' family come from a long line of lawyers, resulting in members who are well established to the law and what's righteous.
Lewis was born with beautiful "hazelnut" skin, and only started developing his skin disease at the age of nine. His family was worried when they discovered the white patches on his left side, and didn't really want to let him go out by himself anymore, scared he might get bullied.
Having earned a lot of money, Lewis' father's passing gave all his life earnings to his mother. Lewis, being their only child, is waiting for the day the money is his.
Whilst he's waiting, he decided to leave the nest early to find his own career, getting sick of living with just his mother. She was reluctant to let him leave, because she knew that people like him weren't accepted into society; however Lewis is a very adaptable person, and learnt to ignore the stares he got when he walked around.

Theme Song
Without me - Eminem

Other
He loves being scratched behind the ears or under the chin! He's literally an animal!
Already mentioned my favourite character :3
