An old world I had that was never fully fleshed out, featuring a steampunk world that was on the level of floating cities powered by steam.
It focuses in on a pawn-shop owner, Viola, trying to pay off her debts to the lead Inner City Police (the floating city she lives on) by stealing him a coveted technology out from under a noble's nose. She ends up finding an eccentric robot maker and collector named Aster whose body and mind were permanently altered after a mistake in one of her experiments, leaving her highly unstable and missing a leg.
However, when they end up stealing it, all they get is a formula. Aster ends up cracking it and finds out it's a way to use someone's soul to power a city after death. While they provide a startlingly huge amount of power, it destroys the person's 'echo' in the process.
The noble gets news Aster and Viola have figured it out, and order a continent wide search for them. Aster's house ends up getting bombed and destroyed in order to provide a cover-up.
Gonna end up writing a LOT on it, figure I'd share that I now have new motivation to be writing besides my two massive universes!
