Placeholder names and stuff of course, we can change whatever.
"Yeah :). Like some people have powers. There could be a kind of inquisition going on and our characters have powers but only one knows. Something like that. But yes it would basically be Victorian England except for magic and the Inquisition. There could be an underground movement of "gifted" as well as well as an external war. Just stuff to flesh out the world :)."
"Totally! Here's a fleshing out/what could be. Let's say my character's name is Beatrice and yours is William. So their wealthy families are old friends and have deemed it wise for their children to marry. William is 22 and Beatrice is 19. It's about a week before their wedding and they've only met briefly once before at a party. Let us also say that our England is currently at war with the growing French empire. This being the Victorian era, there are still muskets and static formations with melee. That good ol' hybrid combat :).
Now let's also say that William and Beatrice are part of the Gifted, those born with some sort of supernatural ability. Those hunted for being called witches, werewolves, vampires and the like. There is an Inquisition in England which we can call "White Hand" to wipe away the sins of the Gifted. So there's that angle as well. I was thinking Beatrice would have a more passive power like telepathy and William could have something like teleporting or strength etc. They could also not be first aware of their powers and have a hard time figuring them out and dealing with them."
