STEEMPUNK-NET Potion suggestions for the Store

in #utopian-io • 6 years ago (edited)

Imagine - if you will - we are back in Victorian England, the birth place of steempunk-net. To the general public, this unassuming and quirky-looking shop is merely a place to purchase oddities, trinkets, and knicknacks.

But wait, there's more! If you are a Steempunk-net player, your wrist identification module will unlock secret access to the basement, where all the really cool stuff happens.

The following image set is something I found while researching for this article and have used it as a visual aid just to give the impression of what I am describing. The clever artistic department could no doubt come up with some unique artwork for the game which fits into the theme.

I have taken a number of inspirational labels as the basis of what I suggest our potions could be for the game's shop. Several potions are listed in the whitepaper, and so I have made sure to incorporate those concepts into the descriptions, although I will leave the details of just what each potion will statistically do for a player (e.g % boost of constitution, strength, dexterity etc) to our clever game creators. Other potions may have a useful place elsewhere in the game.
Allow me to introduce to you the following submissions for your consideration ...

enter image description here
Slippery Eel's Lubricant of Extreme Friction
This is the oil every good mechanic knows won't let you or your machine down, whether a player is on stealthy missions or hastily retreating during rapid extractions.
Guaranteed no noise or seizing from your equipment.

enter image description here
Ultima-Corp's NeuralOverdrive Proficiency Capsules
Pop one of these capsules into your autoinjector to dispense a dose directly into the neural-receptors.
Your adrenals will get a kick out of this.

enter image description here
The Einsteinian EduBoost of Clever Summation
For those situations when you need a rapid burst of knowledge
or accelerated enlightenment.
Simply screw this bulb into your Company-issued multi-purpose
dispensing device and you are ready for instantaneous transformation.

enter image description here
Mr Farthing's Potion of Summa Inutilitatem
This is the potion to have! Keep a bottle of this in your arsenal at all times. Instantly be able to ride a steam-driven bicycling machine - or know how to use any other mechanical device, once ingested.
Sounds too good to be true? Well it is! Of course no chemical concoction could possibly ever help you do that - but your enemy does not know this.
This is the leverage to use when you need to get out of a bad situation.
Offer up this potion with the full confidence that it will never actually work.

enter image description here
Bumpty-Dumpty's Locomotion Neutralising Pills
When the collywobbles hit, hit back with these.
Remain fresh and alert, even after those long excursions or dodgy meals.

enter image description here
Mrs Guppy's Delightful Draft of Peregrination
Just a spoonful of sugar helps this tangy wayfaring lozenge go down.
No one likes to arrive at their destination through space and time feeling
out-of-sorts.

enter image description here
Mister Finnegan's Potion of Blissful Rejuvenation
Endorsed by the kings and queens of Europe!
Or, it would be if they were allowed to know of its existence.
This constitution rejuvenation potion is only available to
qualified players.
Not to be taken with alcohol.

enter image description here
A.C.C's Interplanetary Flight Pills
Orbital mechanics is an expanding field. Don't be left behind, travel with the help of these homogenised astronautical tablets.
Just don't ask whether they will affect your long-term memory, or give you burning indigestion.

enter image description here
The Five-Finger Exoskeleton Powerhouse Lotion
Rub this unguent into your skin to instantly boost your strength,
and regain your fortitude.

enter image description here
Captain Nemo's Magically Aqueous Scribing Fluid
When you need to send those coded reports, sensitive messages,
or graphical illustrations in a rather perspicuous manner.

I realise that most of the game is set far into the future, and that my suggestions revolve around (my beloved and less dystopian-feeling) the 19th century, but I am sure there could easily be a futuristic version of each one of these potions.

                Brilliant! Well written. Was it in 'Wonderland' that Alice coined the phrase: Curiouser and curiouser?
                Keep on keeping on! 👍 👌

                  Indeed, it was she! Perhaps she was a steempunknetter at heart ;)
