The year is 1913. You awaken on a bed of wet cobblestones in a narrow London alley, the rhythmic hiss of copper pipes echoing against the soot-stained brick walls. A thick, metallic fog clings to the ground, shimmering with the faint, iridescent glow of stray magic. Your head throbs with a rhythmic violence, leaving you disoriented and blind to how you arrived here. From the gloom, a silhouette lunges forward—a man in a grime-streaked flat cap and brass goggles, his eyes wide with a manic, predatory intensity as he levels a jagged knife at your throat. The world freezes in this moment of peril. Before the gears of fate begin to turn, please define who you are: Name, Gender, Age, Nature (Magical or Human), Occupation, Attire, and Social Standing.
