Half-Elf Keria d'Lyrandar fought most of the war as a "smuggler" of sorts, running covert operations for her house, serving as first mate to her father.  When her father mysteriously disappears, she takes the "family" airship, the prototype Spelljammer and a ragtag crew to search for him.  The whole time, she flies over the post-war Eberron, solving crimes and dodging Lyrandar operatives who seek to recover the ship.Each episode consists of furthering the main plot (finding Keria's father), while also detailing the "plot of the week" - Warforged Nationalists seeking to create their own homeland, a Gnomish Journalist who has a secret that house Tharask doesn't want revealed, Shifters battling against racism, etc.  And of course, the Spelljammer itself has secrets of its own...CastThese are just a few of the main characters in the story.Keria d'Lyrandar: A half-elven rogue with the Lyrandar Mark of Storm.  Dedicated to finding her father, even though it's put her at odds with her house.  While she is technically half-elven, she really looks more human (saves money on makeup).  Basically, she'd be played by a fairly young (early 20s) actress - I see her with red or light brown hair, but really, anything goes.Shield 917 A warforged soldier who has vowed to never kill again.  He is haunted by dreams of what he has done for the nation of Karnnath, a land overrun by the undead.  Shield is Keria's bodyguard, and is very pessimistic.  Shield's Subplot could be a tie to the Lord of Blades - perhaps he hears the Lord's Siren's Call.  Syntha'a A shifter ranger woman who fought in the Eldeen Reaches.  Syntha'a is stunningly attractive for a shifter (it is TV, after all!), and fights very gracefully with a spear.  When she shifts, she takes on a tiger form.  Syntha'a is very suspicious of others, and has a habit of sniffing things before touching them.  Plumber: A gnomish artificer, who serves as the main caretaker of the Spelljammer. In fact, the gnome is quite convinced that the ship can speak to him (a potential subplot right there - the emerging consciousness of the ship itself!)  Plumber has known Keria since she was a little girl, and acts almost as an uncle to her, dispensing advice.  Every episode, she asks Plumber for help solving a problem, and Plumber inevitably says something helpful (but at the same time, confusing).Rhys An elven wizard who was on the frontlines for only the last month of the war.  Young, but not as young as people think.  He's definatley lacking in common sense at times, and is very devoted to arcane and academic matters while paying little attention to the world around him.  Much of his magic is focused around Divination (ie, Magic that requires little in the way of budget!) He has a crush on Keria, but is embarrassed about it.  Rogan: A human soldier from Cyre.  He lost his wife and child to the mournland (and a subplot could involve undead versions of one or both coming back to haunt him in dreams!), and has something of a deathwish.  His main trademark in the series is to tell a story about something awful he saw while fighting in the war.  He dislikes Shield, because he believes Karrnath is responsible for the death of Cyre (and holds Shield responsible, somehow).  He is also part of the Keria/Rhys/Rogan love triangle (love triangles make great TV!)Elyot: The main villain of the series (and the only one I have an actor for, <a href="http://imdb.com/name/nm0194516/" target="_blank">Matt Czuchry</a>) a Changeling assassin who is obsessed with Keria, and knows something about her father's disappearance.  He's quite mad, but extremely likable.  His main form is that of Keria's brother (see below).  He taunts Keria with information about her father, but each time he offers information, she has to do something for her - and they get worse and worse each time he asks - the road to hell is paved with the best of intentions.  Kassus d'Lyrandar: Keria's twin brother, also played by Czuchry.  he is a loyal Lyrandar, given his own ship.  He has taken it upon himself to capture his sister, because he feels that if he doesn't, someone else will (and could kill her in the process).  He wants to find his father too, but feels Keria going renegade isn't the way to do things.  Of course, it's a ship, and extra characters would be added over time - a Priestly Healer, a Spellthief (anything I make would NEED a spellthief!), and even a Kalashtar Psion.</blockquote>
