Onboard the Icarus (steampunk)

[MissTris]

A man comes forward, his livery is older fashion and from his waistcoat hangs a pocket watch which he removes and checks then looks up at you. His mustache wriggles and jumps as he speaks in a loud and booming voice to be heard over the crowds of people. "Welcome, welcome pioneers of the new world! Welcome to your home for the next few years. Here is the wonder that has been made by man! THE SPARTA!"

That had been months ago, since then you and the crew have renamed the great ship Icarus. For like the mortal man you intend to fly as far as you can to reach and learn and bring back hope for the future of the people! This great steam driven ship is full of everything needed to sustain the crew, for who knows what awaits outside the doors of Icarus. It's girth of metals chug onward across the glass, which glares with heat. Until reaching the planet most were frozen in sleep, to while away the hours with dreams of discovery...

Icarus is journeying to a planet discovered made of Glass. The job of the team is to discover if they can survive there, if there is life there. I can tell you here that their future does not look bright in living on this planet, but what we know...and what your characters know...is altogether different.
Ship crew:
Captain:
First Mate:
First Aid: Kes
Sous Chef: Gabrial
Engineer: Axel.
Explorer(s)/Naturalist: Dag(E&N), Crow(E),
Religious something or nother:
Scientists:
Gardener:
High paying Aristocrat: (opt)

I would prefer that each of these spots be filled before asking for others. Feel free to play a few characters and control minor NPCs once the ball gets rolling.
**Post characters here with the requested position of what they are, don't just ask me if you can be which ever. I will ignore such requests.**
I just need basic for characters: Name, Age, Gender, Job Rank, general appearance, short blip of personality and short blip of history (how you got on Icarus.) Bare in mind that many wanted to join the crew, so your character was selected for something important whether skill or connection.

Questions, comments, suggestions, go here as well.

Bare to mind this is Steampunk, so if you don't know well what it is, please look it up some. It's not all that hard to understand though, and is rather fun. :3

Still a WIP. I'll get Axel and Dag characters up tomorrow.

Name: Allison “Axel” Tossi
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Job on the Icarus: Head Engineer
Siblings: Twin Brother Daggan

Physical aspects: Axel is a little tall for a Greek female, being 5’6. She wears her raven hair long, just past her shoulders and often wrapped in a leather thong braid to keep it out of her Hazel eyes while she works. She is olive skinned and lean though her arms and shoulders are more muscled for use of her tools. Despite working with metals all day in and out her hands are very soft and supple as she wears leather gloves.

Personality: Rambunctious and not the most refined Allison still wears a corset like most females of the time, but wears a lot of male clothing nicked from her brother, or not much at all. She is prone to outbursts if angry and does not hold her tongue or punches if deeply insulted. She has her soft sides, though rarely shows them in the face of the male dominated world she works with.

History: Born the elder twin by two minutes Axel grew up more feminine as opposed to her present job and life style. Both she and her brother are aristocratic children born to liberal parents who encouraged them in their interests and pursuit of new things. At the age of twelve Allison was keen to learn about the airships that her father ran. Feeding her lust for knowledge, she was taken aboard and taught the mechanics. Since this time, she has become well known in the Mechanic Industry, which is high demand with present affairs. Axel, as she became known by because she refused to be thought of right off as a female, was present for the finishing work on The Icarus and helped put together a few miscellaneous items. She knows the Ship very well, and considers it her baby, after a fashion.


Name: Daggan “Dag” Tossi
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Siblings: Twin sister Allison
Job: Professional Explorer and Naturalist

Physical: Dag is 5’9 tall with a friendly angular face. His hawk like nose is more obvious than his sister’s and makes him look stern. His hazel eyes dispel the image though, for they are kindly and good natured. He wears his wavy raven hair jussst long enough to tie back in a ponytail with about two inches of hair out the back. Often he’s wearing a green bandana over his head, so you don’t often see his hair. Daggan is muscular and athletic but not over built.

Personality: Despite being a leader, he is often passive and friendly. He loves new faces and shy types are his preferences. He does try to keep his sister in check, being larger and knowing her well he can keep her calm...often times. He likes the peace and calm of being outside and likes to roam. He gets along well with his twin.

History: two minutes younger than Axel seem to separate them in many ways. He grew up feeling he wanted to be a soldier, but around the same time his sister went off with their father, he became lonely. Life with his sister was quiet and dull, and while he enjoyed the silence and calm, he missed his wild sibling. He took to learning about plant life from the gardener of the estate. Come graduation he was accepted into a ivory school and got his degree as a naturalist. He has since been an explorer and taking people on adventure hikes lasting a week or more. He was something like a package deal with Axel coming aboard Icarus, though his presence was wanted for his easy nature and job standing.

Name- Crow A. Sharles
Age- 24
Gender- Female

Siblings- Kes is her twin
Position- Explorer

Appearance-

Standing at 5'5 this lady is built curvy. Don't know curvy? Well, the girl eats, there is no doubt about such things. But nevertheless, the lady does have a bit of a small middle with a slightly large top side, but is more thick in thighs. Most of it, is muscle. Due to her position, Crow likes to try and keep in the best shape possible and often tries to work out in whatever way she can. With skin that is peachy, a light tan, but not much. Her hair is terribly curly with hues of a soft black that reach slightly passed her collar bone. When on the job it's pulled up into a messy bun, often kept out of her face with a ragged red bandana.

Personality-

Crow is somewhat bitter and impulsive, with childish tendencies. She holds grudges, bites her bottom lip, and has been known to pout. There is a somewhat playful side that will present itself at appropriate moments. Stubborn, Crow refuses to be like Kes. Often times, she'll speak without thought and suffer consequences later. It may seem as though the girl is slightly troubled, but in reality, she may just be thinking. Throwing herself into the world with reckless abandon. Yet there is a strong sense of loyalty to her crew and brother.

History-

Crow was born into a upper-middle class society, where their parents worked hard to get them into a good school. But Crow never wanted education, all she wanted was a cigarette and a burger from the local burger shack. After high school, the lady went to community college for a good while, yet the learning never seemed to set in. She dropped out of the college before graduating, almost going to a four year college.

How did she ever get aboard the Icarus?
Mainly her brother, really. Although, Crow was slightly known through out the states to be an explorer of caves and abandoned coal mines.

Name- Kes M. Sharles
Age- 24
Gender- Male

Siblings- Crow is his twin
Position- First Aid

Appearance-

Kes could be considered short, as sadly, he is also 5'5. He's basically the male version of Crow, with his looks. While he does try and stay in shape, although is not terribly concerned about it. His complexion is the same as Crow's. Kes however, appears to have a scar over his right eye, something that went wrong at one point in time. Seeing the world through rounded, pale blue eyes. Kes' hair is also a soft black, brushing out the curles so they're gentle waves that flick out at all angles. The man often looks as though he had just rolled out of bed.

Personality-

There is always something to stress about for Kes. Perhaps the ship will break down today? What if someone is ill? Oh the possibilites. Kes frets about anything and everything to the point of obssession. Despite such things, Kes truly does mean well and is easily guilted when he fails to do something.

History-

Kes was born along side his sister, although instead of ditching school, he went. With a love for all things new, Kes fell in love with history and it's wonders. A little book worm, he began to study human behavior, which then lead to anatomy and medicines. This was how he grew, yet it seemed to have a side effect. Knowing all these diseases and seeing all these injuries, Kes began to grow more and more stressed. Finally finishing up college, Kes took to staying with his drop out sister, only to be shipped onto the Icarus.
