Editing Charade Picks (Tobyverse)

==='''Pitch'''===

My concept is based around a miraculous happening in the mid 1800s, when an as yet unnamed entity rose an island out of the sea. Unfortunately for said island-raiser he wasn't able to claim it, and instead a consortium of scientists and businessmen took control. The Visionaries, as they called themselves, wanted to create their perfect utopia of technology and class on the island, and set about doing just that. They brought in thousands of people, from artists to workmen and raised a city of the future, a fantastical place more advanced and wealthy than even London, Paris or New York.

The island had its difficulties over the years, as it evolved and eventually declared independence, becoming something of a modern-day city state. It has been involved in wars, scandals, culture clashes and the highest of diplomatic meetings. Today, they have a representative on the UN. Its still a fantastically advanced and strange place to many, as it as retained some of its 19th century charm while still pushing forward into the modern era. Strange generators and turbines power it, crackling strange green energy. Jetpacks are available, but only to the licensed. Cars and clothing invoke a memory of yesteryear, and architecture is still plodding along, but slowly. Its a Neo-Victorian, art deco, gothic masterpiece, and that is exactly how the inhabitants like it. It has its problems, however. And like any city, hosts its fair share of super-humans, heroes, villains and madness, only exacerbated by the conditions not likely present anywhere else in the world.

The idea being that it is a successful Bioshock style project, inspired both by that series of games and Wonder City of Arkham City.
