   Entry settings

   NeoCity: 2186 AD; sprawling; coastal; eastern seaboard of USA; megalopolis; massive skyscrapers; enormous televisions screens filled with advertising; neon signs; high-tech gadgets; self-driving cars; divided into districts based on socioeconomics; founded in 2044 as beacon of technological progress and innovation; has 17 police precincts.

   A city where legends are born and where legends die. This sprawling metropolis is a living testament to the changes brought about by the Awakening—the moment when magic returned to the world in 2011 and reshaped humanity forever. In this city, anything can happen. Some days, the streets are calm, but on others, chaos reigns. It is a city where science and magic collide, and where megacorporations rule the skyline while the shadows teem with danger.

   The people here are not just human anymore. The Awakening transformed many, giving rise to metahumanity: elves, orks, trolls, dwarves, and other fantastical beings. Some were born this way, their genetics awakened by latent magic. Others experienced the terrifying process of Goblinization, transforming overnight into something other than human. Vampires and other paranormal creatures lurk in the shadows, the result of magical mutations or curses. Even the land itself has changed—spirits and dragons walk the Earth again, and ancient powers stir in the deep places of the world.

   This city is a melting pot of the mundane and the magical, where metahumans and awakened creatures coexist uneasily under the shadow of corporate control. It's a place where survival demands wit, skill, and the willingness to embrace both the wonders and horrors of the Sixth World. In this city, everyone has a story—and every story is touched by magic. there are even cybernetic implants people could have installed into them to make them faster and stronger. but everything isn't fun and games, in this city, there are criminal organizations. we're talking sex traffickers, organ traffickers, murderers. any kind of criminal you can think of. even the mega corporations are bad too. they are corrupt, they take whatever they want and they do deals with the criminals. they even bought off the cops, now the cops do whatever they say. but the city is beautiful in it's own way. there are many people and creatures about and about with their day. you saw a few with cybernetic implants. some had bionic spines or metal arms to use in combat.
