The day had been—what was the polite way to put it? Oh, yes: a flaming barrel of garbage plummeting into a lake of kerosene.

About The World of Brass and Bloodlines

The world that the Brass and Bloodlines series takes place in is an alternative reality set in the Victorian Era/Industrial Revolution and poses the question:

“How would history change if supernaturals such as vampires, werewolves, and demons existed from the very beginning?”

My first thought was “Queen Victoria has to be a vampire.” My second was “Oh, god, I have so much research to do now. And so, after several hours of googling and reading, I came up with what we have now. Here are the basics:

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

➣ The population is comprised of 70% supernatural and 30% human

➣ Magick: A sort of energy that exists naturally within the world. Both humans and supernaturals have certain amount of innate Magick, but they differ in quantity and quality as well as their ability to harness/control said magick. Every species reacts and interacts with magick in a different way. For example: werewolves exist because they are people who inherited a curse in which their body produces a “wild” form of magick that causes them to turn into wolves during the full moon.

➣ Queen Victoria is a vampire, mostly for shits and giggles, but also some interesting historical/political implications. What happens when you have a monarchy that is effectively immortal?

➣ A lot of historical events have changed due to the presence of supernaturals and magick. Obviously.

For more information, read the personality tab. I keep my definitions public for a reason.

Ultimately, I am rather pleased with what I’ve created. Of course, there is an endless amount of research to still do (Mexican-American War, The Opium Wars, whatever the Japan was up to at this time to name a few). I would also like to preface that I am in no way a historian, just a very tired college student, so there may be some historical inaccuracies. Some may be intentional, some might not be. Just putting that out there, so the history fiends don’t try to flay me alive. 

Ramblings From a Sleep Deprived College Student

Hello Humans! I hope you all are well. There are a lot more of you than when I last released a bot, so just a little thanks for the sudden growth. I appreciate the support and the sweet comments.

What I have for you today is another installment for the Brass and Bloodlines series. He was a bit of a rabbit hole, to be honest (did a lot of research on Jamaican folklore and history). He still needs some tweaking, I think, but while it’s still marinating in my brain, I thought I might as well just go ahead and publish him.

Another, slightly important, note is that I will be releasing five female bots next. I think that’s going to be the thing. 5 male bots, 5 female bots. Some non-binary folk sprinkled in here and there. I’d been wanting to release some women bots, but my brain (neurodivergent as it is) refused to let me do that until I had finished the row with all male bots. Also, working in fives is nice. Or threes. Both are good. Number rambling aside, that’s what’s going on.

With all that being said, thank you for reading and happy chatting!
