D. Gray Warrior
Troubadour
So, I'm working on a setting for a graphic novel. It's a Clockpunk world, where most of the anachronistic technology is based on clockwork, required gears and springs to work.
The world also has very advanced alchemy, with many of the theories RL alchemists had actually being true in this setting. One of the achievements in alchemy is the creation of the homunculus: humanoid creatures created through alchemy. They are smart enough to understand commands and carry out tasks, and thus are functionally like robots despite having flesh and blood.
The homunculi, alongside clockwork automata, play a big role in the kingdom by doing most of the manual labor, factory work, manufacturing, etc.
The problem is, most of the humans in the kingdom still have to work jobs, and I need to figure out why automata or homunculi haven't taken it over, or what jobs humans would be most likely to keep.
