Hello and Welcome to my thread Floating city.

Let's start with a description of The City. Spanning 15 miles in diameter the city of Nimbus floats across plains and oceans on a bed of levitating crystals. The population tends to be fluid as people get on and off treating the city as a sort of giant caravan. Because of this there are three basic parts to the city: the Chagers circling the rim where most of the inns and taverns are; The Factry sandwiched in between where food, clothing and other goods are produced and Nhead at the center where the: Great Library, Control Towers and other highly educated places are located.

Who is running this place? Well strangely it's a immortal monkey. No he is not wise, no, he can not talk. No one knows how or why this monkey is immortal or controls the city. The only reason they know it is the monkey that is controlling the city is because once, they were dropping the monkey off in a rain forest but just after they left the mayor who had been elceted not five minutes before dropped dead with no cause evident and the City began to fall. The crew landed back on Nimbus and just as the monkey's paws touched ground the city went back to normal.

No one since has ask or tried to figure out why. The monkey is now 500 years old and looks just like how it did when it was taken off.

Here are some Rules or Guidlines to Nimbus

1.You can't take over the City or be In charge. Though you could be a Floater(person who lives on Nimbus) or a Rider(person who is you guessed it riding the city) doing anything from crime to running a Tavern.

2.This is Fantasy based so different races are common and often mixed together.
Though Cross Breeding is frowned upon.

3.No god modeing please. If you are mugging people and are being chased by the police killing them with your ninja skills that here-to-now have not been mentioned, you will be kicked off.

4. The people of Nimbus are all literate (even hobos) so please write clearly.

5. Go Nuts.

Name: Nok
Age: 79,000 years (awake 19)
Race: Clock Work Golem
Occupation: Scholar
Description: Nok was was activated only Nineteen Years ago, by the elderly Wizard Gelsgut. He lives in a magical broom closet in The Great Library he had expanded using his magic. Gelsgut taught Nok everything he knew of magic and tasked him on his death bed to be the wisest sentient being. So Nok is learning every day about everything and anything. He goes to the pub because he "enjoys the the company since the library is so quite." People who meet Nok tend to think of him as very odd for a golem because despite being made of metal he is friendly and jokes around and is generally relaxed person. He also reads any book he lays his hands on from idiots guide to cheese to nature of reality.

((If there a character profile or skeleton? Or do we just make up or own?))

(By cross breeding, do you mean that they would be an outcast in the city, or do you mean that you don't want that in your roleplay?)

[[ By crossbreeding she means saying Half Neko/Half Demon or something silly like that.

Or even Half vampire/half human.

And she doesn't want it in her roleplay. ]]

Sorry about that I've never been very good at setting this things up. Always forget something or are unclear about a statement. I'll repost this thread and fix the problems.

(I was just wondering, because I was considering doing one if they'd be an outcast. I usually don't do them anyays. Thanks for the clarification!)
I'll post a profile later, I have schoolwork to do right now...

Played By: Zafiri Drakontas
Name: Kalos Aingelo
Age: 17
Race: Angel
Occupation: Storekeeper/Healer
Description: Born to a poor family, he decided to save up his money and buy a shop when he was 12. Three years later, he bought his shop and made a living selling goods to individuals. He also discovered that he had the 'gift' for magic. He uses his knowledge to heal those who are injured and can't afford to go to the hospital. Most people describe him as a caring, selfless individual who has a great work ethic.

(When did we die?)

I don't think we ever lived.:)

Do you want to try to make us finally alive?

Do we have permission to come to life? What if we're supposed to be dead?:) Just kidding, but seriously, do we have permission?

Since this isn't a locked thread, all we have to do is start posting...I think...

((I guess I'll start then. Who knows, maybe Cloud will start posting.))

Kalos sighed as he flipped the sign in the window to open. The titanium arrows hadn't arrived yet, and he had several orders for them. They were supposed to be here yesterday, he thought angrily as he dusted off the shelves behind the counter. He sold everything from weapons to food to figurines. He easily made a living off of his store, but he also volunteered to heal people at the hospitals and such. He continued to dust off the shelves and merchandise as he waited for the costumers to arrive.

Rita walked along the sidewalk, looking for the store she had been told about. She had another cut lip and bruises, thanks to the areas 'gang' as they claimed. 'That's what you get for trying to defend the cats.' she muttered quietly to herself. 'At least they told me about a healer near here.' she sighed, searching among the shops. Finally finding the one she was looking for, Rita walked in and tentatively said, to the angel cleaning around the store, "Are you the healer around her, I kinda got into a fight." She gestured at her arms, pulling the sleeve up to show the black skin.

(That's you!)

"Yes, I am," Kalos said as he examined the girl's wounds, "They aren't terrible, but it would be disastrous if they got infected. Come with me." Pullin out a stool, he motioned for her to sit. His hands burst into white flame as he laid them on the wounded areas of skin. The fire wouldn't burn, but it would sting like antiseptic. In a few moments, the wounds were replaced by new skin and the flames disappeared. The bell rung suddenly, so Kalos excused himself and went to take care of business. "Can I help you, sir?" he said to the burly man, "If your looking for a weapon, you can find them on the other side of the store. Food is on this side, as you can see, and figurines are in the middle. All refrigerated items are in the back." Leaving the man to pick up his items, Kalos went and sat behind the counter.

"Do you need someone to help you run you're shop? Like to take category, or organize shelves?" Rita asked quietly, the guy that walked in reminded her of the people that hurt her, and made her think of finding someplace safe. "It's just, I don't have a job, and you seem like a nice person." she started to explain, but her voice faded down to a whisper.

"Sure! We can discuss payment and shifts later," Kalos said as the man walked up with his knife. After paying for the item the man walked out and Kalos continued to clean the shelves and merchandise while taking inventory of the weapons. "If it wouldn't be too much of a bother, could you take inventory of the food. I got the weapons and I'll take care of the figurines later. I would also appreciate it if you took inventory of the refrigerated items." He had put away the duster when he was finished cleaning and picked up a notebook instead. Continuing to take inventory, he waited patiently for a response.

"Alright," she said, perking up, "but, I'd prefer to stay away from the weapons, they make me nervous. Do you have a notebook for me to use?" she glanced at the desk, happy to help. In her happiness, her tail and ears poked out, threatening to knock into the display cases. "Oh right, introductions, I'm Rita Lolinas, Neko protecter of the cats!"


(I'm tweaking her personality a bit, just to let you know.)

((That's fine. Everybody changes over time anyway.))

"Uhh, sure," Kalos said as he saw her ears and tail poke out, "There should be one in the top drawer of the desk." He understood her dislike of weapons. Though it was probably trauma for her, he didn't like weapons because he was a pacifist. He still knew how to use them, but he perferred not to. He had taken inventory on all of the weapons and was moving towards the figurines. He'd have to stock up on knives and bullets, he was completely out of them. Swords could probably use a replenishing as well. The figurines were little glass, porcelain, and clay figures of cats, birds, cherubs, etc. He continued to take inventory while waiting for more customers. It was still pretty early and he expected more customers by mid-afternoon.

"Thanks!" Rita rummaged around, looking for the notepad. "Do you know any shape shifter magic, or someone that can teach it to me?" she asked over her shoulder, headed for the food. She wrote down several things that were missing, like apples and bananas. 'Need apples, bananas, cereal, sparkling water, and sparkling apple cider.' she wrote on the list, going from section to section. When she noticed an area that needed dusting, she swept her tail over it from side to side instead of reaching for the duster. "If you don't mind me asking, what's your name, and what are you?" she asked, walking over to him, handing him her list. "All your apples have bruises by the way." Rita added, looking at the small display.

"No, I don't know any shapeshifting magic," Kalos said as he took note of the figurines on the shelves, "I have a book on the subject though. I was going to add books to the inventory when I expanded." He finished taking inventory and put the notepad down on his desk. He pulled out the blueprints for the expansion and added a few notes. "The apples are bruised!" he stated in shock as soon as Rita said it, "I knew I should have bought less of those." Standing, blueprints momentarily forgotten, he started moving the apples to the trashbin. He would have to send out an order for more stock when the shop closed in the evening. After the apples were thrown away, he walked back and studied the blueprints.

Rita pondered for a moment, "I know of the perfect little apple orchard, it's overrun with vines but I bet I could grab some for you." she looked at the blueprint he took out, "looks pretty complicated, you're going to expand into that?" She glanced back up at him throwing away the apples, "Wait, I've got some friends that would appreciate a little extra food, even if it is bruised." She smiled at the memory of the crazy cats, trying to fight the rottweilers for territory. "I was protecting them from the bullies, that's why I got hurt."

"Uh huh," Kalos said as he pulled up a box, "The building next to us is abandoned, so I plan on buying it and building an extension between here and there." He was unpacking the box, and placing the items on his shelf. They were the newest shipment of arrows, they just got dropped off, and he planned on getting them on the shelves in a few minutes. "Sure, go ahead. Take any of the apples that your friends would want."
