This has been on my mind for a very long time. A heavily modified version of Creation. Republic City is in the location of the Imperial City. It also emphasizes some elements of the Wuxia genre of gaming. After the Shogunate was reformed the only place that they still have power is in the city of Meru. The Dragon-Blooded are native to those regions that correspond to the elements. The "Bending" styles are the celestial dragon styles, others can be learned but those learned in the temples are only the Dragon styles. With a new industrial revolution and the discovery of the ancient Machine God giving rise to the industrious Alchemical exalted changing the way the world is based and offering upheaval inside Republic City. This is where the characters enter into hoping to make a living. Starting out at the bottom of the Chopstick Brothers Triad they hope to leave the underworld and create a better life through the martial arts, elemental power and new emerging technology. I would want to flesh out more of the changed game world with the players as we design your characters. Only two types exist in this world the Dragon-Blooded and the Alchemical. The spirit world exists beyond Creation through a misty forest stuck perpetually in twilight. In the mountains leading up to a beautiful plateau is the Celestial City. Following the dark grave earth tracks down deep into the snow and fog shrouded entrance to the Underworld. In a black and twisted tree of metal and bone is the terror spawned entry into hell. Going immaterial if you know your way through those places brings you to those realms. Shortcuts exist to reach those places like gates and shadowlands.
