In London of 1888, inventors throughout the world showed greater ingenuity and creativity then they did in the original timeline. Creating a Steampunk world where through the use of steam and related power sources the London of 1888 has at least approximations of science and technology decades ahead of what was present in normal 1888. These changes however have been so rapid and recent that society hasn't had much time to acclimate, so while science and technology are decades ahead of schedule social beliefs and attitudes are still about the same.Among the differences then is that "Jack the Ripper" was much more prolific and successful as a killer with his access to better tools and equipment. Whereas in the original timeline he murdered 5 prostitutes on the street before stopping for unknown reasons, in this new timeline he's murdered at least 16 women living in low income areas of London and is rumored to have raped several more at knifepoint.Right now I picture me playing "Saucy Jack" and you as one of the later group, a woman he has or is going to rape at knifepoint but not kill for reasons only he knows. We can discuss details beyond that.Thoughts/Interest?
