Imagine if all the most interesting parts of the 1800s were slammed together. Early industrialism blends with Gilded Age monopolies. H.G. Wells mixes with Edgar Allen Poe. Tesla, Edison, and Babbage merge with the Pinkertons and colonial politics. All of it maintains an outer facade of Victorian sensibilities, but on any deeper investigation it is as rotten as the worst parts of Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel London. Now take it all, make a civilization out of it, and run that civilization off city-sized power plants that are on the verge of absolute failure.
Steamfunk is everything that might be considered "steampunk," set in a dystopian world that is as much smog as it is steam and as much disease as it is discovery. It is a place of almost-panicked desperation, barely hidden by the thin shell of a "polite" society in decline. It is a universe decidedly in need of heroes, if you happen to know of any...

Today's update is without a doubt one of our well known and loved Hebdomadal Personas, however, this update is slightly different. The Hebdomadal Persona we present to you today is a part of our upcoming new Untold Mini Campaign Setting, Steamfunk. We think that you'll find it both reassuringly familiar while at the same time: surprising, while tantalizingly new and exotic! Regardless, we hope that you enjoy it and that you will likewise enjoy Steamfunk - coming soon - and that you'll let us know what you think in our new Steamfunk section of the forums!
Ursimian
Alias: Zu Champion, Zu Lord
Race: L'na Twilight
Aspects: Mind 2, Body 3, Soul 2
Sex: Male-aspect; Height: 6 ft. (at the shoulder); Weight: 550 lbs.
"Mother! Tell us again about Ursimian!"
The small den exploded with frantic sounds and movement: scores of small voices filled the air with clamor and din. "Yes Mother! Yes Mother! Tell us! Tell us!" The small reptilian-insectoid tyke who'd started it all smiled, his forked tongue tapping the insides of his shuttered teeth.
The aged matron of the clan of Twilights sighed a bit to herself. She was weary, but not so weary as to spread the tale of the great Champion of Zu - one of the foremost of her clan's for-bearers. She settled herself into her nest, preening a few of her scarlet and sable feathers. "All right, my hatchlings. Come and settle and I shall tell you the tale of how Ursimian became to be!"
Again a surging cacophony of frenetic behavior. "A new tale, Mother?!? This is wonderful!" Another of her brood, a small porcupine-quilled spider-monkey moth cred, jumping up and down excitedly.
"Yes a new tale - one that shall not arrive until silence goes before it". Her feline-ursine features smiled slightly as she waited for her little ones to understand and adhere to her gentle instructions. Finally, the stirring brood calmed and settled like the still waters of a grotto pool, and the tale began...

Fanonical? What?
Fanonical posts are a new thing here at Untoldthegame.com, and as far as we know, something new to RPG's in general. We've talked about our Open Campaign Setting from "Day 1" around here, but we've not made much fuss of it so far. Well, that's about to end...
Basically, "fanonical" is a word we've coined based on the term canonical. Something that is canonical, or canon, is something that is accepted as being the truth or the "way that it is". In RPG's, something that is "canon" is something that has been "blessed and sanctioned" by whomever owns the IP. For instance, if you know anything about the Dresden Files RPG, you know that Dresden is a guy, not a girl - stuff like that is "canon".

Icewind
Alias: The Ghost of the North
Race: L'na Dawn
Aspects: Body 2, Mind 2, Soul 3
Sex: Male Aspect; Height: 4’0” ft at the shoulder; Weight: 200 lbs.
Character Description/Notes: The L'na reaction to Apoc-Earth has been mixed. Some have come and carved out a life aiding the Dreaming, or roaming the new wilds of the post-Event Earth. Others have come and put their powers to good use, even to the extent of becoming leaders of other beings and being worshiped as gods. Other have taken a decidedly negative turn, and some of their actions can be termed only as "evil".
Sl'heera
Alias: Quicksloth, The Verdant Sage
Race: L'na Dawn
Aspects: Mind 4, Soul 6
Sex: Male-aspect; Height: 4'1" (shoulder); Weight: 800 lbs.
"Individual lives are fragile things; life itself is eternal and unending."
Description/Notes: A creature of the verdant jungles of Ai, Sl'heera of the L'na Dawns is an apparent contradiction at first glance. Blending the hindquarters of the fiercely muscled and notoriously swift cheetah and the lazy features of a great sloth, he appears to be a ludicrous chimera, perhaps some failed experiment to copy the L'na by High-bred scientists. A closer look shows the merging of the disparate animal parts into a fluid whole, however, and every movement is deliberate, considered, and suggestive of a coiled grace and power that dares observers to try mocking him.
Thrissa
Alias: Tempest, Slipstream
Race: L'na Dawn
Aspects: Soul 5
Sex: Male aspect; Height: 3'6" (at shoulder); Weight: 180 lbs
"Beware! The wrath of the Tempest draws near!"
Bulk
Alias: Bethleus’an (Real Name)
Race: L'na Dawn
Aspects: Mind 5, Body 8, Soul 1
Sex: Male Aspect; Ht: 15'; Wt: 1600 lbs.
"The ice moves slowly. Unstoppable. Inexorable. It will always win….like me."
Character Description/Notes: Bulk is a massive brute of primal power and stark harshness, like the ice swept environs he calls home. A great walrus-like L'na, Bulk is aptly named by the local Churl tribes; he is well over five meters in length and nearly seven hundred and fifty kilos. His skin is smooth and hairless except for whiskers about his mouth and scimitar tusks, a mottled gray/white that blends with the barren shores of his coastal haunts.
