Kimball and Marlowe are ended. Not in terms of a relationship (although it's possible that's true as well), but as characters. They ended with a bit of a bang, lots of tension and with enough unresolved issues to keep a relationship counselor occupied for years. Their dynamic was so different at the end than what it was in the beginning and the ( Read more... )

Marlowe Mordecai has changed so much since she first started as a character, and so when her RPer sent me a track list for a newer, more updated version of a mix for her, I couldn't help but take it on.

Twenty Mixes. That's how many Steampunk Nation-themed fanmixes I've posted here. That's a scary-ass number! I've invested a huge amount of time an energy into these soundtracks and I don't regret a minute of it. They were fun as hell.

So for the big two-oh, I thought I'd do something a little bit different. Like a huge three-part mix to try and ( Read more... )

This latest fanmix for Steampunk Nation focuses on Radley Kamber, a character of mine who hasn't been around for very long, although the idea for him has been tossing around my brain for quite some time. He's a Republican soldier, a sniper, one of four children in a tight-knit family with a military history. He's shy until you get to know him, ( Read more... )

This is my eighteenth fanmix for Steampunk Nation, and it's for Alan Ristoff, a magician and pyrotechnician whose hobbies include fencing, magic, and being a pain in the Republic's collective neck. He's an interesting character, and one from whom I look forward to seeing much more in the future.

Another Steampunk Nation fanmix, this time for Sophia "Roy" Royston, a recently introduced Republican who seems to enjoy drinking and fighting, not necessarily in that order. She's outspoken and bold, though she does have a bit of a protective streak where Jace is concerned (although that protection doesn't extend to herself and her habit of good- ( Read more... )

Another Steampunk Nation fanmix, this time for Esther Jones, a Republican captain and altogether terrifying woman. A frequent employer of torture both psychological and physical, Esther has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to get the information she or her higher-ups require.

I probably don't need to say it at this point, but another Steampunk Nation Fanmix. This one is for Jace Brophy, a relatively undeveloped character. He's a weedy, grouchy little Republican scout, but patriotic and fervent enough to defend himself and his country. On the outside, he's grumpy, defensive and just a bit unpleasant. Not the most ( Read more... )

Another Steampunk Nation fanmix -- because, really? Do I make anything else these days?

This one is probably the last for a while, and it's for Alexey Romanov and Marlowe Mordecai, both of whom have been featured in other 'ship-mixes. So why do they get one of their own? Well, it's a complicated story that can be summed up with 'they had an affair ( Read more... )

This is the second mix I've done now for Kimball Egan, and I can't quite put my finger on why. Or, rather, it's simply harder for me to explain. I've had a number or roleplay characters over the years, and they've all kind of been similar: good guys who are always good guys and could never be tempted to be anything otherwise. They were, looking ( Read more... )
