Cortex Steampunk Game 2 OOC Discussion

Other group is getting ahead, making characters.  Hope to see what Dreams has to say, but yeah up to now I have also kind of been go with what others like.  There were some good ideas in that post AsBlood made, before switching.  Having thought about it for a while, see what I can to it.  Come with some kind of setting.  Try to make it something unique, without looking at what the others are up to.

The Lovecraftian idea could be something really fun to build on.  Maybe the anthro/non-human stuff could be connected to that.  Maybe something tribal?  I had been thinking about doing a tribal character earlier, but maybe now leaning between explorer or mad-science.  A group either investigating or running away from something of a higher power maybe.  Something they may or not want to find the source of.  Would potentially mix in ruins as well.

This are things I am feeling a little more strongly about liking, but willing to work with others on, dropping or adjusting anything others don’t like or mixing in what others really like.

ok well then ill be briefish I guess

WANT
tech - steam tech, chem tech, or really any tech that deviates from the default science. specifically I want my character to be weaponizing pheromones and I dont want her to be the only one in universe using a weird side tech
Concepts - I would like something a little distanced from raw combat, maybe espionage, maybe a steampunk train hostage situation, maybe a high noon draw off where its more of a stand off then a battle, etc
species - im fine with... literally anything you could be a yetti and I would be starry eyed and happy, or a dragon, or a sentient can of pringles. sexual interest varies but anything im cool with being in the setting
set pieces- ... a clock tower that doubles as a mad scientists lair? a steam powered train that is a tourist attraction with an authentic robbery! and old school bank, with metal bars, and a proper vault! that gets robbed
im basically happy with anything, but these are a few random ideas off the top of my head?

DO NOT WANT
... nothing really comes to mind? I just dont want this to become a great premise to a glorified porno, well i love the lewds in these things i have been in a game where the story full stopped because two players fucked like rabbits for 8 or 9 real world months well the rest of us kinda just... waited awkwardly, wanting our own moments, sexual or otherwise.
