Charade Picks (Tobyverse)
Original Pitch
A villain raises an island in the Atlantic as a base for world conquest. Several navies, led by the British, put a stop to that, then try and figure out who the new land belongs to. A group of businessmen negotiate control of the new land, building it as a technotopia.
Atlantis
A land artificially created in 1857 by a supervillain, saved by several navies, bought by a group of Visionaries, independent, seized by another supervillain, freed by the actions of its citizens, now a leading center of innovation and technology.
Julius Rex Lexington Faraday
Atlantis' most famous secret agent, he is a vampire James Bond.

Enoch Rookwood, Gentleman Adventurer!

Doctor Xyle, The Dimensional Deviant
A brilliant but mad scientist and scholar with the ability to travel between dimensions at will and a desire to make each one his plaything. Once took Atlantis hostage.
Spring-Heeled Jack
Quentin Chase uses his own formidable skills and training, his brother's inventions, and assorted captured gadgets and weaponry to terrify miscreants from the lowest slums to the highest towers. Atlantis' newest vigilante.
The Gentleman
A self-made man, Edward Advent is a gentleman chemist who developed a semi-alchemical formula to purify himself. As a side-effect, he is huge, incredibly strong, unfailingly polite, and impeccably dressed. (Okay, that last he has to do himself.)
