I think the term you're looking for is "[i]Neo[/i]-Victorian", assuming the setting entails a Victorian era society/world persisting beyond the real world history?

Definitely an applicable word as well. I meant it in the same way you'd say faux fur. It's made to mimic the look, but isn't the real thing at all. Either term may be redundant, anyway, since we all know that's what Steampunk is. 

So despite my hesitancy to write lore ahead of time, I've started on that. I'm gonna add a list of teachers and their subjects. I'm also hoping to come up with a map of the school/airship, but I don't yet know how I mean to do that. 

Regarding the fake science I lay out: it's mainly there so that characters can have consistent technobabble. Don't think too hard about it. But if you have an idea of something to add to it, feel free to mention.
