Steampunk Imperial Succession crisis RP

A question for @Vahir, are women allowed as military officers in this setting? I'm thinking of doing a retired military matriarch as my main character so that's why I'm asking.

<Snipped quote by The Survivor>

"Guns don't exist, or at least any that I would recommend using. After the introduction of cannons, some attempts were made to design smaller, handheld cannons that could be carried by infantrymen into battle. But Maandike dust's lack of stability made it more likely that you'd just kill yourself by firing the gun. Armies have continued to use swords, pikes, and other more conventional weapons of war instead."

Hence my character idea being "the shitty younger son who discovered black powder."

Also, a side note, the Dishonored weapons are not matchlocks. From what I can tell they shoot centerfire metal cartridges which would be ignited via firing pin.

EDIT: Upon further research [read: playing a level of dishonored again], the pistol certainly looks like a wheellock, but that is clearly cosmetic:the gun operates like a semi-automatic modern pistol, complete with modern rounds.

Interested.

Also, since we have cannons and airships and junk, do we have guns? Like matchlocks or Dishonored style matchlocks that are really easy to reload or what?

Maybe something Fallout-related?

I'd honestly prefer sticking to america due to the fact that it has the most fleshed out lore. That being said, I'm digging the southern idea, I know of this other rp on a different site that took place in coastal Virginia and the new hazards and elements like constant rainstorms and flooding and civilization adapting to radioactive water and stuff was really interesting. Maybe we can do like a nomadic boat community that moves along the southern and maybe even western coast?

What would you rather fight?

Wendigo, because that'd be a sick as fuck battle.

...Yeah, okay.
