[World Info] the swing shift got me down
Rosalie is from 1930s New York (approximately 1934). The world is largely the same as our world except for a few key differences:
- Airships remain a viable form of transportation, allowing trips across the Atlantic and other long journeys. They are quite comfortable for passengers, largely because travel by airship is absolutely a thing reserved for the very wealthy.
- There is a hidden world of paranormal stuff, including but not limited to: ghosts, demons from other dimensions, magical artifacts of diverse and often terrible nature, psychic gifts, magic performed through the classic chalk sigils and blood rituals and what have you. Most of the magic they ran into was generally terrible. While there is a thriving underworld of those who are "in the know" they are considered to be crackpots by the world at large. Notably, Rosalie's world tends more toward the paranormal than the supernatural (if that makes sense). While there were undoubtedly rumors about vampires and werewolves and such, Rosalie never encountered them nor has anyone she trusts confirmed that they exist.
- Despite the historical setting, verisimilitude wasn't the goal of the game so Rosalie's voice is absolutely anachronistic and that's sorta built into her world. So don't feel too much pressure to be historically accurate in every single detail.
