Prior to any writing I put down this list of notes and concepts, including characters later cut from the story entirely. Being the first part of the project its the oldest, cira 3/29/2006

Wallace “The Wall” Donavin: Age 42
Ex-Military | Psychotic | Steam-power prosthetic arms | In love with Morganna | Brawler
The Wall stands near seven foot tall and weights nearly five hundred pounds; most of the weight coming from his massive arms. His faces is a grizzled mess of scars and callous dotted with stubble that could almost pass as a beard. His head is shaved bald and two thick scars run from just above his eyes to the back of his neck where they join in a sharp V. His eyes are a blood-shot brown and his nose looks like it was once broken and never properly healed. His ears are fat and swollen, the look the professional boxers get after years of being in the ring. His lips are wide and fat; his smile more like a sick grimace. His head comes down into his shoulders as if he was lacking a neck, yet not the fat muscle-bound neck many weightlifters get; its simply not there. Wall rarely wears a shirt, simply because they are far to difficult to pull on over his massive arms. On the occasion he does, he prefers aprons with buckle straps and the like. His chest is muscular and constantly bare. He has a thick V patch of hair from his nipples to his navel and the sides are scarred, as is the chest under the hair but that typical doesn’t show. His arms are steam/magic powered marvels, big and bulky until he engages them in battle. Then a thick magic fluid floods down smoothing the gaps and holes into a solid metallic sheen. The Wall prefers baggy tan colored cargo-pants tucked into his black shin-guard military style boots.
Morganna Black: Age 17
Magic Addict | Eats Epiphysis | Gothic Subculture | Angry/Bi-Polar
Morganna is a psudo-goth standing almost five feet tall and weighting under a hundred pounds on a fat day. His face is painted in a pale white with blue highlights with large black-purple circles around her eyes. Her hair is a thin straight long black, coming down to the small of her back. Her eyes are shallow and the color of rusty nails. Her cheekbones show and her face is gaunt and skeletal. Her thin neck leads down to a thin black dress, held on her showing collarbones by spaghetti sting straps. Her arms are long and thin, boney and skeletal. She typical wears a black dress, undecorated for the most part with some frill around the hem. The top is a V laced opening that shows off her non-existent cleavage. The dress ends just above her knees, where her tall black buckle boots start.
Parson Edison Vale: Age 36
Greasy & Dirty | Humble & Rational | Gay? | Fascinated with The Wall | Mechanic & Priest
Edison is a few inches shy of six foot and weights in with two hundred pounds of toned flesh. His dusty brown hair is cut short and his face is neatly shaven. He wears thick strapped goggles strapped his his head and his face is constantly covered in soot, with only a thick bar and two circles around his green eyes showing clean skin. Edison wears a thin white wife-beater style shirt and his bare arms are a sooty brown hue. His shirt holds tight to his fit figure and his arms show lines of muscle tone. He wears a large belt with various bags and tools hanging from it. Multiple pouches and loops hold everything he needs from his religion and his work. He wears large, stuffed full, cargo pants with extra pockets sewn in between the normal pockets. There are also stuffed with everything he needs for his workshops and general living needs. He wears steel-toed work books with a thick sole.
Julius Alister II: Age 29
Witty & Sarcastic | Pretty Boy | Gunslinger | Automatic 6-Shooter
Julius is around the same height as Edison, a near six foot but weights just over one fifty. Unlike Edison he isn’t muscular but more wiry and twitchy. He has shoulder length blond hair that he keeps neatly tied back. He has stunning blue eyes and a neatly trimmed goatee. Across his back he has a short, waist length, red cape with a golden edge, it buckles somewhere under the collar of his bright red jacket which also has thick yellow-gold trim and fat yellow-gold buttons up the front and on the sleeves. His undershirt is a deep red (maroon) with dark gold (mustard) fringes. His belt is thick and black, with a large golden belt buckle, this belt contained pre-loaded chambers for his pistols and it dispenses from the buckle. Strapped at his hips are two automatic revolver pistols, covered discreetly by his cape. His pants a flared at the bottom and are a deep velvet black with a bright gold hem around the foot holes. His boots are anachronic cowboy boots, deep brown and spurred.
