Like Clockwork

Created by

Everyone has their own affinity for magic, some types are rarer than others. Void, or the absence of magic and the destruction of magic is the rarest...however the most necessary since everything comes from nothing. There are ultimately four types of people, the Mages, the forgotten (they have no magic at all), the groundlings (self explanatory they live on the ground and are constantly at war with those who live in the skies, and the Voids (typically believed to be legend because when they are born they are quickly killed if found.). The entire world is run by mages, after all everything requires magic of some form to function. Now in Like Clockwork what we were doing was that there was one known void that had been allowed to live by virtue of his brother being a lord mage of the highest rank in their nation, he was also kept around for being a genius mechanic though none of his creation have magic at all. The nation however kept close tabs on him so things went to hell when he was shot out of the sky by the groundlings and made to ‘work’ for them. Now his brother is trying to find him at all costs because his nation has labeled the void rouge and put a Kill-On-Sight order out regarding him. Along this hunt he ends up with the help of a pair of shop owners, one of whom is a rather normal guy and the other an enigma who is more than they seem, a scrapper/finder who can lead him to his brother and the talking cat who belongs to the enigma of a shopkeep. All in all this little band of misfits plus the Mage-Lord’s bodyguard, a boy who can’t set foot on solid ground (or airship), and a groundling herbalist with a wish to see the world above finds more than they bargained for when they hunt down not just the void but the greatest mechanical mage in existence.
