Oh, I like this idea. And the old man sounds good, but no robot old man. This is steampunk, not robopunk.

-A dangerous raider that goes by "Desert Scorpion" or whatever.

-Someone who wants to combine magic and tech together, but mostly unsuccessful.

If we have a person that wants to turn magic into science, we don't need a person that wants to fuse them. Too many conflicting concepts.

Setting added to first post. Submit your full plots if you wish (A description of the world won't be enough). Characters are looking good, but we'll need someone playable as well.

Alright, how about a precocious young lad that often visits the old man in his tower just to see his quirky new inventions and play around with his dog? I think that would be wonderful, why I've often watched such movies and wondered what it would be like to write one of those particular narratives.

Sounds good, but to be fair, a majority vote is needed.

And maybe some other people's ideas?! Am I alone on this or what?

Giant steam robots that hurt people through punching, ramming and kicking <3.

Well I guess those who practised magic would have to do it in secret.

And possibly a rebel leader..omg idea!...the old man's ex fiancée!

Hahaha, that's great. So funny, an older woman who recognizes her ex-boyfriend. Ew, old people love..

AH THE IMAGES BURN!

How about having the old lady having a fully-grown daughter, to help explain why she's there.

Robots hurting people, sounds very sexy

Yes and it is exponentially better than anything we can come up with on the fly... you know, I vote we go ahead and use Thai's story. As long as everyone makes sure they correct spelling, grammar, and technical errors before posting. Do we have a deal?

+1 Yes.
