The Golden Age of Piracy that once proudly dominated the seas that now, after twenty years, remains little more than a memory. The World Government, the sworn enemy of anarchy and freedom, had won. Not out of skill or through tactical means, but by the brutally blunt force of the mighty Dreadnoughts. Powered by the miracle of the new age that was the discovery of steam, these mobile floating fortresses were clad entirely in steel and armed with enough, technologically advanced, cannons and guns to sink a galleon in one single salvo. No pirate fleet, no matter how united, were able to mount a significant assault against a Dreadnought. The only saving grace was that the Dreadnoughts were few in number with far too large of a territory to maintain constant oversight, forcing pirates to spread out across the ocean. And so, they were spread out over major shipping routes, constantly on the look-out for any ship that dared raise the flag of the Jolly Roger.
But with the end of a new age, comes the beginning of a new. An age of science, reasoning, understanding, and of great social upheaval. An age of madness, ignorance, and strife. Gone was the Age of Piracy, and so began the Age of Hunters.
Sara Masuma, pirate-turned-entrepreneur, truly embodied the change in times. From slave, to gladiatrix, to pirate commando, and finally a railroad baroness, she had lived an extraordinary life. But what she found underneath her manor house could outshine all that she had accomplished to that point. The mysteries and horrors that await her and her carefully chosen crew would either be her greatest triumph, or her greatest failure.
Yashima Village- A local small village, with an inn and a railroad station with not much else. A few of the residents work within Masuma manor as groundskeepers, maids, and other assorted servants
Yukiro City - Once a small port-town, this city has exploded in population due to a sharp rise immigrants seeking labor in building the continent's railways. Roughly 50% of the population are now a variety of foreigners, bringing their culture and ideas with them.

Introduction
The Golden Age of Piracy that once proudly dominated the seas that now, after twenty years, remains little more than a memory. The World Government, the sworn enemy of anarchy and freedom, had won. Not out of skill or through tactical means, but by the brutally blunt force of the mighty Dreadnoughts. Powered by the miracle of the new age that was the discovery of steam, these mobile floating fortresses were clad entirely in steel and armed with enough, technologically advanced, cannons and guns to sink a galleon in one single salvo. No pirate fleet, no matter how united, were able to mount a significant assault against a Dreadnought. The only saving grace was that the Dreadnoughts were few in number with far too large of a territory to maintain constant oversight, forcing pirates to spread out across the ocean.

Rules & Requirements:
I'd like to make it clear that this idea is influenced by the
- Don't Godmod. It's as simple as that.
- Be friendly in OOC, keep the drama in the IC.
- Follow Iwaku rules!
- RPs with a lack of communication die, so I'd appreciate it if we all got to know each other, besides it's more fun to RP with someone you can call a friend.
- If you vanish for a week without warning I'll send a PM and give you three days to respond. If you don't then you're susceptible to getting booted out. If you mention it in advance though then that won't be a problem.
- Don't be afraid to add to the story! But if it's something major, please PM me about it first. Adding to this, I'm all for "character arcs" so keep this in mind!
