Soo yeah, Mortal Engines, great movie; absolutely love it and now I want to do an rp based in the same style/time period/thing as that movie :3 with moving cities and everything else.
Rules:
-LGBTQ+ are allowed, though if you want this to have romance involved my character is a straight girl just to give you a heads up
-this is going to be rated at the very very least PG-14 because of gore and blood and all that jazz (I think it just makes the rp more exciting (And it's fun to write I think)) along with smut and steamy scenes ((If this is a romance) the smut and steamy stuff would be taken to the PM's tho)
-swearing is allowed
-please, please, please post at least two sentences, I don't like being the one leading the whole rp, make your character do something and you are free to introduce minor characters if you want/need something for your character to do
-If I already am in an (active) one-on-one with you I'd ask you to not join unless no one else does
-I have the right to say no to you, or to ask for you to give an example of your style of rping before I let you join(It doesn't mean I don't like you or have something against you if I say no, I promise)
-please be active, one post a day is the minimum unless you tell me ahead of time that you won't be on
-I'll add more rules if someone joins along w/ a template
Read the rules and make sure you're ok with everything I listed before asking to join
Never seen the movie, the trailer looked great though… may I? Or do I have to have seen the movie?
Do you know what the movie is about (Main characters, what they're fighting for, ect?) I'd be fine with you joining as long as you know those things
I know that the villain is Valentine, all the cities can move, Valentine killed the main character, Hester's mother and she wants revenge but in the process finds out her mother discovered something very dangerous and know the group of main-ish characters have to help Hester shut down some city destroying weapon.
Alrighty you can join :) We won't be using any of the characters from the actual movie (Unless you want to) and your character can be either from one of the predator cities or from a smaller mining town, your choice.
I'll get a template quick
Okay, cool. We don’t have to use characters from the movie btw but I don’t mind
(If they're from a predator city like London (Main city in the movie) give them a level from one to three. Level one is first class person, the best of the best, a three is a poor person that is nowhere near being a class one)

Nice character! I'll get mine up as soon as I can!
Name: Jemma Tan
Nickname: none
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Predator city, mining town or outlander?: mining town
Appearance: She has vibrant green eyes and naturally red hair that goes to the middle of her back. She keeps it in a braid or ponytail because it's naturally wavy and hard to deal with if she's on the move. Her skin is pale and she's covered in dirt and grime. She's taller at 5'8" and lean, with almost no extra body fat on her body to stay warm.
Personality: She's resourceful and very good at bargaining and trading. Jemma isn't very welcoming of strangers when she firsts meets them but if they don't herm her and prove that they're alright then she'll quickly bond with them. I'll show more throughout the rp
Likes: Keeping her brother safe, sleeping without waking up from distrations
Dislikes: Predator cities, having to listen to authority
Deepest fear & secret: She's scared that no one will remember her story
Background: Her father died when she was young and her mother disappeared a few years later, leaving her and her older brother on their own. They eventually found a home of sorts on an old mining town and that's where they've spent the rest of their lives, working on this town in exchange for food and shelter.
Quote/s: "You shouldn't be here city boy, the world is too dangerous for someone like you."
One interesting fact about them: She's actually very good with technology and mechanics but she hides it
Other: nope
Thanks :) should we start soon?
Yeah, that would be cool.
Alright, I'll post a starter as soon as I can get to my computer (it's easier to post starters from there)
Okay, cool. I may be asleep by then but idk.
The predator city was coming closer, Jemma could see that clearly from where she stood on the deck of the mining town she called home. They were racing away from the beast as fast as she could and yet the city didn't look like it was fading into the distance in the least. She could hear the sound of her brother Jax rushing up the metal stairs to warn her of something, most likely the city that she was already aware of.
"City," He said simply, jumping up the last stair and running a hand through his short red hair, "Do you think we'll be fast enough to get away?"
"Let's hope." She responded before turning back to watch the city again, her foot tapping against the floor nervously.
Event though he wasn't on the surface of the city, Alex knew they were drawing closer to a town of some sorts. He finished oiling the cogs in his metal leg, slipping the cloth over his mouth so he didn't have to breath in the toxic fumes, Alex made his way to the top of the city. He weaved through people, ignoring the looks he received at his state well, he just rolled his eyes behind his goggles.
Jemma looked up at her brother and jabbed her thumb back down the stairs, "Is your stuff packed? The city looks like it's getting closer and I don't want to be on it when it gets pulled in." She had always kept her few possessions stashed away in a handmade pack -ready for a time like this when she knew that they were being chased- while her brother had his laid all over the small piece of the ship where he slept.
As she expected he shook his head, "No, I'll go get them packed though, mind if I toss them in your bag?" Jax didn't wait for her answer before jumping back down the steps to get his things together.
Alex jumped over a few poles and benches on his way to get better view of what was happening. Even though he never really enjoyed watching. But maybe today would be different? Nah, it never was. He'd finished work for today, apart from a few things he needed to do at home so a little break wouldn't hurt.
"Idiot," She muttered, rolling her eyes and following him down the steps. One question circled through her mind as she jogged around the town; would they be better off staying on the town and going to the city? Jemma bit her lip and scowled at the ground in thought, hearing her brother's light footsteps in the distance as he scrambled to get his things together.
Alex leaned up against the railing, people pushed past him and behind him and soon he was stuck in the middle of a crowd. He watched the town draw closer, listened as people shouted around him and he begun to hate the amount of noise but he put up with it. He just hoped people in the town turned out okay.
Jemma glanced at where the city was and how close it was getting, huffing when she realized they would have to go on the city. "Hey Jax?" She called to him, making her way in that direction, "The city is getting too close…we can't get off and out of the way in time, we'll be squished unless we head to the city and then get off." She waited for her brother's reaction and sighed. They should've left sooner, before the city was even in view.
"Are you sure Jemma?" He asked, coming into view with the pack slung over his shoulder. He looked at the city and sighed, realizing she was right, "Well then, take your weapons and hide them, I've heard that they take your weapons before you enter the city."
