~OOC Chat~
Here is the place to discuss all things related to the RP! I'll be posting any notifcations in here, so it might be a good idea to watch this thread even if you're not much of a talky person. Other than that, please try to keep things on topic, and have fun!
~Q&A~
Naturally, there are things out there that I have either forgotten to mention, or were left vague and this needed clarification. Thus I shall keep here a list of all the answers I have given to questions asked here, aka: a bunch of helpful info not found elsewhere. I highly recommend you check out this sections first if you have a question irking you, as you might well find the answer here.

Q: What are the technological limits of this RP?
A: Technologically, it is at a standard steampunk level. Electricity has recently been discovered and is out into wide use in Unity and some of the more prominent nobles houses, though it is still a luxury for the rich. The Angels have managed to do some more complex stuff using electricity, but again it is hardly widespread. In terms of guns and the like, there are cannons at use on military Skyships and old town defences, and very basic guns (flintlock I think they're called, although my knowledge of weaponry is abysmal), but a lot of people still stick to more traditional weapons. Gunpowder and such would be around though, and therefore people can create primitive explosions
I was just thinking, actually, that said artillery would have been used en mass in the Great War and all proceeding conflicts, but when the White Guardians took over, they'd likely have banned public and general use of such weapons, branding them under their extreme-peace regime. Thus most of the remaining guns would either be kept in a big secret store somewhere, or as safety in Peacekeeper Skyships. They would have gone through a great purge of removing such weapons from the public, though several of them would have slipped through the hook.
Q: Are the lifespans of the Adapted Species relative or not to human lives?
A: In terms of relative lifespan, both the Shalrak and Saladrin would reach adulthood about at about 15, though they would begin to get old and weary about aged 40. Cloudwalkers, nobody has any idea, and Mermen would probably be identical to human development trends, only that they wouldn't get frail quite so quickly. As for Angels and Demons, they reach adulthood at about 30, and old age at 110, but then take ages to get to a period of frailty. They grow up and develop as human children would, although without recollection of their first five years of life.
Q: What is Blist like?
A: As for Blist, I was purposely vague to try and show how different Angel society is, but I guess think a more beautiful white void with intricate, archaic-ish architecture around the place. On a slightly related side note, have you ever read the Tripod's trilogy? I was kind of going for something like that in that Blist is so different it's almost incomprehensible to describe to humans. After all, everything is still made of light of various kinds, and it's so bright up there that things would be seen differently to standard perception.
Q: Are the Peacekeepers going to frisk everybody for weapons and such?
A: I was thinking about this, actually, and came to the conclusion that carrying around weapons in public would probably be illegal, due to there essentially being no point in doing so. In entering ports and such there would be a frisk, and people would be detained if they were seen carrying a weapon around. However, I doubt they would ever routinely check houses or anything, and a lot of criminals would probably find sneaky ways of hiding weaponry and other destructive materials about themselves.
