Subbins Empire Kingdom; Time: 2377

For an advanced civilization that has progressed phenomenonally throughout time since the early 2000s, people sure didn't let go of... The Victorian Industrialism Theme.

Imagine a steampunk city, where the air is thick with the scent of coal and iron. Towering structures of brick and brass rise against a backdrop of swirling, smoky skies. Cobblestone streets wind through the city, lined with gaslit lanterns. At the heart of the city stands a massive clock tower, its hands moving with a rhythmic precision, surrounded by whirring gears and pistons.

Inside the ingenious clock tower, Ran, who played in the former gladiator pit competition. Who... You had a past with. Then Jackie; a simple and young assassin. His friend was Laggius Maximus. Not a great fighter physically but in good spirits. Your guy's job was to make the Empire and Kingdom would follow the Emperor, Porkius VII. By giving them what they wanted; inventions. Anything besides a riot.
