I ''love'' cyberpunk. I love the gritty feeling of chrome on my fingertips, of street punks fighting the corporate machine. Who doesn't? Sometimes, however, it can feel a little old. Eighties nostalgia only takes you so far. Leather and mirrorshades go out with last season's wardrobe. So... I'd like to dress the punk up in some new clothes. | I ''love'' cyberpunk.

Magic in Flamepunk consists of essentially one thing: the summoning, binding, and control of elementals from the [[Flamepunk: The Realm of Flames|Realm of Flames]]. This magic, however, has forged the basis for an entire civilization, built on the power of unearthly flames. Never doubt the adeptness of the human mind when it comes to adapting to new ideas. Industry and transportation, engineering and medicine; the art of elemental binding has been used to revolutionize every science and field of endeavour. | Magic in Flamepunk consists of essentially one thing: the summoning, binding, and control of elementals from the [[Flamepunk: The Realm of Flames|Realm of Flames]].

In the slums and poorhouses of the growing cities, forces have begun to arise that challenge the system; youths who chafe at the bit and gangs who fight to tear down the structures of society. The disenfranchised want to hit back; and they have the tools to do it. Gang members with nothing to lose have elementals bound into their very bodies; sparkflash eyes, flamebound knuckles, and tongues of flame. | In the slums and poorhouses of the growing cities, forces have begun to arise that challenge the system; youths who chafe at the bit and gangs who fight to tear down the structures of society.

Within the Realm, things are broken down into their baser ideas... a sword becomes the feeling of hate you have when you hit someone, a candle the feeling of being protected against the dark. Long-term flamerunners are vulnerable to this effect; as they run longer and harder, they become embodiments of the basic concepts that drive them to run, such as greed or desperation. |
