Gadget is a young street urchin. He got 'the Spark' at an unusually young age and his brilliance with the mechanical (particularly traps, toxins and more recently automota) is let down by his impulsive and reckless attitude towards safety ((in ... (more)

Origins

Gadget was drawn to New Babbage like magnetised iron. Raised by his father following his mothers disappearance, he talks little about his early origins.

I am master of a tramp steamer that makes rounds to Armada, Ravila, Mondrago, among other places. When in Babbage I prefer to dock in Clockhaven Harbor to be close to my favorite watering holes.

Origins

Mr. Baroque wears a mechanical heart as a result of an airship crash which ended his career as an air pirate. He changed his name after the incident in order to fake his own death and lives the quiet life few pirates ever live long enough to see -- in retirement.

When in port he enjoys ... (more)

Gil the Sea Urchin

Most people call me Gil

I live in the Vernian Sea.
I am 10 years old.
I like to eat fish... and swim real fast.

(OCC: Gil the Sea Urchin is a Dr. Moreau type of experiment.)

Origins

My earliest memory is swimming, in a school with my brothers and sisters, when the sharks came. I swam as fast as I could and hid. I got lost and never found my brothers and sisters again.

I work as a villainous physician and surgeon in New Babbage...
All afflictions treated, no questions asked.

Origins

After finishing medical school in my native land, I came to New Babbage. It was a new place to me, where my reputation and scandal would not follow.
I treat the poor, criminals, and those who seek "discreet" medical care - no questions asked. My motive is not altruism, but profit. ... (more)

Transhuman! Steampunk! Evil Genius!

A student of applied evil, I am following in the footsteps of my "technically" late, great, father. Smashing the shackles of evolution and embracing the freedom of transhumanism, I seek to push the mind and body beyond the very limits of nature.
