No description.

1. #1World So Far

   Keys: Sentinels, Makkren, Eclipse

   Twenty years ago, super humans in Emerald City fought a war against a group called Eclipse. During this war, Earth was attacked by a cosmic Leviathan called "Makkren". Makkren was defeated by the super humans in Emerald City, lead by their hero team, "The Sentinels.". While Makkren is long dead, the after effects of his destruction are still felt to this day. Millions died during the leviathans attack. However, Makkren's invasion also lead to an unintended boon and a curse for humanity, as upon the creatures death it crystalized into pure Element-0. This lead to the element being harvested in mass numbers leading to a jump start in technological advancements, but the sheer amount of it now going around led to more people becoming or being born as super humans.

This also means Nova Tech controls the largest amount of Element-0 of any corporation, making them a massive powerhouse. Their research typically involves cybernetics, biology and bio-organic materials, particularly experimenting with biological enhancements, cybernetics, making them one of the leading cybernetic distributors. Though they also have bio-weapon and paramilitary divisions hidden from public view.

   Their current owner is not one single person but a board of directors.

These were later fazed out for the "Gin no heishi", or "Silver Soldiers", humanoid shaped yet obviously machine field units capable of wielding human weaponry. In the year 2037, they began working on more commercial robots, and later developed the first Androids. Saiba Tech is also heavily funded by the Japanese Government.

10. #10Beastkin

    Keys: Beasts, Beastkin

    Around the time super powered humans started appearing, so did the Beastkin. Beastkin are humans who mutated to resemble animals. They were once looked down upon, however they've become more common over the years and the average person has grown use to seeing them, especially since more generations of them have been born to the point that it's no longer considered a mutation and simply a race of people.

11. #11Element-0

    Keys: Element Zero., Element-0

    Element-0 is the root cause of the sudden appearance of super powered humans and Beastkin that started decades ago. It is a strange alien element that arrived on Earth through an asteroid that landed in the ocean. Exposure doesn't guarantee mutation or powers, and it appears to be impossible to force such things. Element-0 has become more common since the death of Makkren, and Nova Tech has gotten closer to cracking how to manipulate it.

12. #12Kri-Tren

    Keys: Kri. Aliens, Kri-Tren

    The Kri-Tren is an alien race that came into contact with Earth over a decade ago. The Kri-Tren came to Earth seeking refuge after their home world was destroyed by an unknown entity they simply referred to as "Makkren", or "Leviathan" in English.The Kri-Tren live peacefully on Earth for the most part, and one had become a Sentinel and aided in killing Makkren decades ago. Nowadays, the Kri-Tren are still low in number but gradually increasing.

13. #13Makkren

    Keys: Leviathan, Makkren

    Makkren was an all consuming space leviathan that dwells light years from Earth. It has devoured countless worlds in its ancient lifespan.

Makkren was destroyed by The Sentinels decades ago, and its death has changed the course of humanity forever.

14. #14The Alley Snakes

    Keys: Snakes, Alley Snakes

    The Alley Snakes is a relatively harmless street gang that can be described as a bunch of kids playing cool. They are most known for mugging and racketeering, and their signature catchphrase "Alley Snakes Rule!". If the police or a Super Human shows up, they'll flee the majority of the time.

    The Alley Snakes founder based their name and look after a super human from Emerald City named "Viper", mostly because the founder thought she was "The epitome of cool" and he simped for her really, really hard.

    Interf4ace is a small gang of Netrunners most known for selling their service to others, often hacking bank accounts, disabling surveillance systems, or even taking remote control of someones cybernetics. Interf4ace was founded by a group of four people, their names all unknown. They rarely operate on the streets, though sometimes one can be found in seedier places wearing an LED mask to obscure their face while waiting for someone to hire them.

16. #16Syndicate

    Keys: Syndicate, The Syndicate · Secondary: Gang, Mafia

    The Syndicate is the "mafia" of Aurora City, the most well organized and professional gang around. Their reputation is everything to them, and they hold a strict code of honor. They typically deal in black market dealings, protection rackets, illegal cybernetic trading, and underground robotics. They "own" a large amount of territory in the city, and few gangs would ever risk drawing their ire. However despite this, they strangely seem to also aid their communities and have very strict rules against dealing to children or dealing within their communities. Whether this is out of moral code or a "don't shit where you eat" perspective, only their leader truly knows.

    The Syndicate is currently run by Francesca Marino.

17. #17Netrunners

    Keys: Netrunners · Secondary: Hackers

    Netrunner is the term skilled hackers use to refer to themselves as, and the name stuck, leading to most referring to them as such. Netrunners are typically skilled at cracking security, compromising or taking over surveillance systems, even cracking bank accounts.

18. #18Credits

    Keys: Credits, Cash, Creds, Money

19. #19Cybernetics

    Keys: Cybernetics, Chrome

    Cybernetics, or "chrome" as some have taken to calling it, are electronic or robotic augmentations that can be introduced to the human body. While cybernetics were once an extraordinarily rare and experimental technology, they've now become so common that even the common person at least has a Neuro-Link allowing for ease of technology use and transferring information or currency.

20. #20Neuro-Link

    Keys: Neuro-Link

    Neuro-Link is the most common cybernetic, and most people have it installed. It's typically installed on the back of the neck in a spot that allows access to both the brain and the nervous system, and it's most often used to transfer information through Micro Drives that can be slotted in the back, or used to wirelessly interact with some tech or wirelessly transfer Credits between people. However, Neuro-Links can also be equipped with illegal software known as "Quick Hacks", which allow the user to "attack" security systems or even attack someone else's Neuro-Link.

21. #21Androids

    Keys: Androids, Android

    Androids are humanoid robots that strongly resemble humans, with the usual tell being their skin tones, eyes, or robotic joints. Androids were once widely simply used as labor or servants, but in recent years there has been debate about whether they should have their own rights, as they've become more and more self aware since their initial inception. In the last year, there have even been riots or protests against the "enslavement" of Android kind, which has recently led to them gaining the rights they fought for. However, they are still looked down upon by some, and hatred against Android runs deep in some communities.

22. #22Rippers

    Keys: Rippers · Secondary: Gang, Psychos

    The Rippers are the most dangerous gang in Aurora City, often dwelling in the slums or generally less "policed" areas of the city. Rippers are known for many things; random acts of violence, muggings, murders, assaults, but their most common crime and the source of their namesake is that they have been known to kidnap people and cut them open to steal the cybernetics right out of their bodies to sell in underground markets. When dealing with rival gangs, they have been known to abduct the wounded and cut them open while still conscious, making them endure the process of having their cybernetics stripped from their own flesh. They do this as a fear tactic, and it's worked wonders, as only the Syndicate ever has the balls to push back against the Rippers.
