Adding fantasy to steampunk is kind of unneccisery eh?

To the subject in question.

Due to this being a bit unknown to most I shall explain what steampunk is and give a light introduction to my world

Steampunk:
Steampunk is a fantasy science fiction setting that takes place in a world most typicly in victorian era but may go as far into the "future" as to the first world war. Steampunk can often be mixed with magic and more but what makes it more unique is that the tech of the era in question (victorian to WW1) is capable to perform things modern or future machines can (sometimes even what they cant do). Example is walking machines, gear machines with artificial intelligence and more. The tech of the future done with the tech of the past.


The World:
The setting is on a world in a binary planetary system

Umbrean Confederacy:
Goverment
The goverment is a technocracy/Meritocracy where a person must have specific knowledge or qualifications to even be considered into the main goverment which is composed of 7 members that togather rules it all. Individual parts are goverened by local parts and is selected by those who already have qualifications though if they missuse the power there are means which the population can get them off the power.

Culture
Their culture is very open to other species and people, supporters of freedom of all kinds and attempts being non-judgemental but as all societies this cannot be held true for every single individual.

Biology

Umbras are carnivores, got shark like teeth, tail that may differ in appearence, pupilless eyes where the eyes takes 1 colour all over, 1 main fur colour and a secondary "marking" colour which gives some pattern on the body. Hands and feet have claws
