Aneurism IV

From the industrious Prole to the rich Banker, each role offers unique experiences, challenges, and rewards. Your chosen fate defines your journey, abilities, and how you interact with others. Align with the Cortex to stabilize the city, or join the ranks of the Scumbags and Zealots to spread Rot. The fate of ANEURISM IV hangs in the balance, influenced by your actions and alliances. This is a crumbling city, kept aloft only by the concerted efforts of its barely sufficient labor and police force. This is due to an active force slowly eating away at the city from the inside. The Rot. Manifesting as large cancer pustules growing in gutters and dank alleyways, The Rot is a physical manifestation of the city's decay, and must be managed by The Cortex to prevent the city from collapse.

The Cortex is the government overseeing this city, and your primary source of housing, food, and protection. There are a good set of jobs under The Cortex, mostly comprising of enforcement roles. They execute those targeted for Limitation, confiscate contraband, and keep the peace. There are the Controller, the bottom rung grunts who mostly just police the slums and keep the Proletariat from shanking each-other. The Sanitar, who place importance on cleansing The Rot over hunting down those targeted for Limitation, and finally, the Limitator, who are power-armored military police equipped with powerful rifles and a heady feeling of superiority.

There are unaligned folks, such as the humble Dealer, shopkeepers who supply goods beyond the basic necessities given by The Cortex. The Banker who, much as their name suggests, keep money safe for the citizens of the city. The Prole, short for Proletariat, are all working class citizens. They cook, clean, work, launder, and whatever else needs doing around the city. They are some of the lowest class citizens. The Corpsman are the closest thing to a doctor that the city has, healing those in need, they've seen the worst that this city has to offer and a good number of them have gone insane in the past. And finally, the Liquidator. They keep this city afloat by cleansing The Rot with their flamethrowers. Constantly, these folks are on the watch for the tell-tale cancer pustules of The Rot.

And last, but definitely least, are The Scum. These people worship The Rot and focus their whole efforts on helping it take over the city. They do not deserve to be named.
