>Why yes, I AM a clockwork automaton, thank you for falling for it small boy! i mean noticing! I have traveled to London from my master's secret workshop off the coast of Paraguay(Is it called that yet?) to seek a network of clockmakers to replicate the spell that created me on a massive scale to create an army of clockmen powered by souls. If you see that other guy who looks like he's got lizard scales growing over half his skin he's here to stop me. Now excuse me as I kick him off a roof into the river where you won't find the body. We're going to fight again in 3 weeks you see.A technology for interuniversal time travel is found and we use it fuck with people in the past by making LARPs in time. Killing natives is fine but killing other larps isn't. Players 'can' die but being uncovered or having their personas revealed isn't. The masquerade is considered a succuss if a majority of people will believe in broad strokes the backstories of some 200 people for the better part of 10 years before they all dip for their next 'season' in some other timeline. Obviously not all fictious identities are created equal (in believability) and the guy in the op who's calling himself a soul powered robot is a lot harder to keep up then one who's pretending to be a real magician pretending to be a normal magician. Or you can be a pussy and just be spring heel jack. Would-be costumed creeps have as much resources as real cosplay/Larp can be expected to drop as much money into the effort as a house plus accounting for their having to be living in the past for months/years of a time. As part of their pre-training for the trip they get primers on how to not be completly out place when/if they go out of costume. The LARPers will have a few 'safehouses' established where people and materials can be shipped in by the truckful so they can collect depletible resources or replacement components to their kits.>What would your Victorian superhero of the year 1853 be?
>>96632950This mostly seems to come down to "How far back do you need to go before modern technology convincingly becomes magic".Realistically, even 100 years ago a costume suit full of LEDs is going to really freak people out until they get a close look at it.
How does one even make a costume like that? I yearn to be a sentai villain.
>>96633725Little bit at a time. Hitting up junk shops, thrift stores, and craft stores and gradually collecting bits and pieces to combine and scratch bash with costume pieces.
>>96632950What are you trying to communicate?
