I should point out that linking to pixiv is technically against the rules, for the same reason you can't link to any of the boorus.
*blinks* Really? That's an actual limitation? Huh. Makes sense, though.
It's not. You can't link to any NSFW material, as defined by the rules, which includes sites with NSFW banners etc.

An individual SFW pic is fine. Tested with danbooru and Oglaf which do have NSFW content, just not on the pages linked. As always, common sense applies.
 
Prologue III: Final (Appearance Vote)
Although I wanted to append the appearance vote to a longer update, the first "encounter" is going to be affected by your personal appearance.



[x] Travel west. There's nothing there that you know about, but as your parents have treated you like an uninspired idiot, that might just mean it's dangerous. You can live with that. Probably.

You're sorely tempted by the prospect of going north-northwest, of getting to raid ruins packed with promising parts. Unfortunately, you aren't exactly prepared for a long-term relationship with a Blackburn. You don't have a single creation to your name; while that would disqualify you in the eyes of most Blackburns, one grieving the loss of a more promising target might not be entirely rational. Until you're more prepared, catching the attention of one has a distressingly high likelihood of being fatal.

At any rate, you might run across an Empowered during any such raid. Even if they don't automatically recognize Inspired, you wouldn't expect them to not murder a random stranger for personal gain. Reasonable people don't devour the light of Inspiration. Even if they've heard of Empowered and know what they're supposed to do, the fact that they'd just pass up the chance to become an Inspired is... well, quite frankly, it's horrifying.

So, as the tower seems a little too risky to you, you settle on heading west. Your parents will probably expect you to go someplace they've told you about before, not to charge blindly into the unknown. Shows what they know. You're an Inspired. Burning a path through the darkness of ignorance, shelling the surrounding area to eliminate any survivors, cackling diabolically, deploying clockwork animals to clear out traps, and searching for salvageable materials is...

...You try to remember where that train of thought was supposed to be going. You think it might've wandered off the tracks and gone on to terrorize the surrounding countryside.

I know it's a bad choice because it kills any stealth options but it looks fabulous.

...Okay, think I've figured out my preferences.

[1] Bird
[2] Wrench

Bird because I like the fact that the eyes look mildly insane, Wrench because I like the massive wrench. The others are just kinda 'meh' for me. I feel like they're more 'steampunk' and less 'mad scientist'.
 
[1] Twirl
Looks self-confident.

[2] Bird
Her top looks very uncomfortable and skimpy, but she has bright colours and masses of inventions.

[3] Gun
Looks very competent, except for the stupidity of having baggy sleeves and waist-length hair anywhere you'd need a gun.

[4] Wrench
Looks confident. Equipment somewhat impractical. Colours boring.

[5] Palm
Over-the-knee socks suck. Skirts that short are only not a constant hassle if you don't care when you flash your underwear. Leather around your breasts is a sweaty nightmare. But at least she looks happy.

[6] Diamond
The colours and face shape are pretty, but also very freaky.

[7] Watch
She looks about eight; why is the picture centered around her boobs?

[8] Cape
I don't like monochrome, don't like her lost expression and don't like the amount of effort that's gone into framing her boobs.
