Enter the world of Clockwork City. Follow a day in the life of Edyta a Roof Runner new to her job, and explore her blossoming friendships in a city full of intrigue and fantasy!
The story begins with Edyta talking into a Chronodict, an audio recording device, leaving a message for her parents that she is safe, and about to being her work, when she is interrupted by Roz, a runner who has two metal hands and lower arms, and, who was the person who trained Edyta to run the rooftops. She is experienced and eager to see the woman do well, but has an intense dislike of those below the rooftops.

Characters:

Edyta:
She's a Dray, she can be brave when it comes to threats of violence or danger, preferring to use her physical skills and strengths as she can rely on those, over her social skills which are lacklustre, thanks to her sheltered life, living with her parents.

Roz:

She is sarcastic but affectionate to other Dray, she seems them all as a large family. She will go out of her way to help a Dray, and to teach about Roof Running.
She has been in Clockwork city all her life, and she has grown to dislike the humans below her. She had a terrible incident when she was a child, and it has forever coloured her image of humans. She has her burdens, but she masks them well, and she dotes on Edyta, treating her like a younger sister.

Nikolai:
Image
He is a thief, but of the aladdin type. he is a scoundrel, but he won't hurt people or take from those that can't afford to have things taken. Naturally, it's left him a little worse off, but he takes his moral code seriously. He masks himself behind an upbeat air, pretending to be a gentleman thief, but in actuality, he's just a scared kid doing what he has to in order to survive.

He usually assumes people are out to get him, and won't try to work on building friendships, unless the person proves otherwise, and he has a reason to do so.

The crew:
Artist: Badriel
Writer: Blind Swordsgirl
Musician: Mimiga

The MC has an awesome design :mrgreen:. The logo is also really great and I like the premise as well.

I look forward to seeing the rest of the characters.
