Well, yes, of course; we’ve even discussed your persnicketies about such directly, remember? My take-away had been that, for you, there is a distinction between the historical and the fantastical which ought to be forthright, readily observable, and discernible, in earnest - and that
that’s where you had said sprang your most particular pedantic discretion and frustration.
This, though, being
without a set period, seems to be skirting that line; are you reluctant to call it a fantasy project, per se? Because I had really begun to hope that your lack of a specific would allow you the liberty to go a bit buck wild (your “Mad Scientist Gadgetry" certainly evidences your ability to pull off that kind of creativity with a sweetness).
Regardless of your decision, I’m sure that the result will be excellent - but you have to see the potential that this has as a fantasy piece...
I’m not trying to put you on the spot here, nor am I telling you what you should or shouldn’t do - as such is absolutely your decision; but these key details which you’ve stated here seem to be of considerable substance to you; and yet, without a distinctly specified milieu - why not simply
run amok with it?
Again, it’s bound to be "fantastic" no matter what you do...
