This site takes place in a time period rather like the industrial revolution meets the roaring twenties. Not sure how that would even work? This thread ought to give you the basics. Feel free to message the staff if you still have any questions.[/i]
planes, trains, and automobiles
Planes have only just been invented, and very few people have ever seen one. Fewer still have ridden in one. The most common air-transport is blimps, and most people fear to ride in them, because they crash and explode often.
Trains are the most common form of transportation, period. They transport not only people, but also anything that needs to be shipped.
Automobiles have been invented, but they are highly expensive and many smaller towns don't allow them. Including Little Venus.
communication[/i]
Most people have phones in Eria, but they are the good ol' fashioned Rotary Phones.
Cellphones haven't even been considered, nor have computers.
Most people still depend on sending letters to communicate with others.
entertainment[/i]
Radios are very popular in Eria, and anyone who appears on a radio show tends to be highly looked up to.
Televisions have recently been invented, but they are few and far between. And the ones that are owned are very small and in black and white. They also lack remotes.
In most cases, Erians have to entertain themselves.
basic living[/i]
Toilets that flush are a basic part of an Erian home, however they become clogged often making plumbing a high paying job.
Although light bulbs exist, many of the races populating Eria are nocturnal, so there have not been many advancements made. They are very dim and burn out quickly.
Heaters have yet to be invented, so most houses have fireplaces and apartments have built-in stoves.
Refrigerators are fully electrical, but they are small and make a lot of noise. They also take up a lot of electricity so many people still prefer to use iceboxes.
Wealthier residents have gas stoves they can use to cook on, but those with less money generally cook on the thing they use to heat their home.
typical fashion[/i]
Although fashion in the outside world of Eria is subdued, more like how it was in America's 20's, in villages like Io people are able to wear whatever they want. There are many tailors who let their imaginations run wild and make clothes similar to a modern day wardrobe.[/blockquote]
