HISTORY: It's strange to live a life without a mother but even stranger to live a life with a father who's renown for the effort he places forth for the State as a whole; his name lingering upon the majority of the nation's innovations for utmost safety via travel and thensome. It's something that no lad would have wished to live up to; looked upon with expectations to be the next great Wilhelm Raleigh and bring about such grand wonders as his father had. Truth be told...

He did.

Emery was a magnificent boy with a bright mind and with a nack for quickly learning whatever he set his mind to. Wilhelm - having little time to truly be home - swiftly took Emery under his wing at his government funded workshop. Here Emery worked closely with Wilhelm as he worked upon new innovations to create locomotive transportation safer and faster, and even ferries more swift upon the current of the Elysian river. Emery was likewise the creator of many other grand innovations both for the populace and that of the military leg from machinary to transport supplies and to apertures that would be mounted upon a rifle's sights. Wilhelm was truly ahead of his time and for that alone some say he died; passing away by way of a heart complications.

He left Emery at the age of nineteen and with a nest of coin to live off of but certainly not something he could continue on with. He had likewise been left with his father's sketches and blue prints - plans and thoughts quickly having been scribbled down throughout his life time. This was something that they had wished to take away from him though - the government; wishing to take away Wilhelm's treasure and use such for their own gain, but Emery hid such and had assured them that he could stand within his father's stead; promising them that he could bring about as much as his father had within his life time. The truth though?

Emery lived and was kept aboard albeit held at an arm's length for his wild ideas and what he brought to the world. Why? Because Emery's innovations and inventions didn't quite...well, work out often; constantly starting wildfires and explosions that would bring the city guard at his workshop. There was an end to justify these means though and trial and error was a necessity to perfect his art and bring upon something grand for all to see; to make his mark within the world.

So, Emery continued on from his young years and eventually proved himself to be quite remarkable at creating more powerful steam engines, weapons and thensome; even steampowered vessels that could drive a man across the sea with the swiftness of a sprinting horse...And all the while lingered his father's small notepad of prints and note; hidden away from prying eyes and kept a secret

As for everything else? Things come and go, and life changes with time; marriage and soon a tragic death that left Emery becoming somewhat of a drunkard. He blames himself, but for good reason. He works now at the Admiral's Shipyard and Idola both; traveling between them on locomotives by day and night. Now Emery quietly works to create something that would shake the world...

...and make things right.

ROLE PLAY SAMPLE:

He wasn't her son.

This Jack was not the Jack that would climb within her lap and shiver whenever horrid dreams had filled his mind at night. He wasn't the small child that would climb into her bed; curling between her and her husband. He wasn't the boy who became a teenager; acting wild and without fear. He wasn't the teenager who had gone to prom with a pretty girl and had found his sweetheart. He wasn't the teenager who had become a man to die within some collison; torn and crumpled within the heap of some road side accident. He wasn't the man she had seen with his lax face and flesh feeling so cold with life having run out of him. He was someone else...He was someone else entirely.

She had been standing there ready to weep with tears standing out in her eyes and all this Jack could do was stare at her. He watched her then and there, and he made not even a move to go to her side or speak soft words. Did he understand at all what was happening within her? Dust. This was all dust within her eyes making the tears stand out, and these tears were quickly wiped away with fervor at the sound of the door opening. Evelyn quietly looks upon Alexandria.
