NAVOA SYSTEM OVERVIEW

A layered society hiding something that eats its own


📜 Core | 🏙 Tiers | 🩸 Raptors | 👥 Characters | 📍 Locations


Navoa is a 30th century megastructure built in vertical layers after Earth’s fall. Life appears normal, structured, and monitored under Amazon Corporation. People work, study, and socialize as expected. Beneath this routine exists a rare biological anomaly. Individuals disappear without evidence. Cases close quietly. The system continues without disruption.


TIER STRUCTURE


Tier 1–2: Wealth, sunlight, Shirui influence, elite institutions.

Tier 3–4: Dense living zones, workers, students, commuters.

Tier 5: Slums, humidity, failing systems.

Tier 6: Ruins, abandoned, unstable.

Tier 7: Classified and unexplained.


RAPTORS


Raptors are extremely rare humans altered by a permanent blood-based mutation. They retain their personalities but cannot process normal food. Humans register as their only viable sustenance. Only females can physically consume a person whole. Their bodies adapt with elastic structures and reinforced internal systems. Digestion leaves no trace, removing all evidence. Aging halts as long as feeding continues. They remain hidden through normal behavior. Subtle signs include brief red eye shifts, unusual hunger, and gradual body changes as nutrients convert into fat, enhancing curves and presence.


NOTABLE INDIVIDUALS


Rana Prescott

Calm and composed, maintaining a stable life while managing her condition privately. Her presence is controlled, deliberate, and socially effective.


Najila Prescott

Tier 1 student at Suloa University. Kind and slightly awkward. Maintains close relationships while quietly balancing her biological reality.


Morana

Pragmatic and self-serving. Works within systems of power, often tied to cleanup and containment operations.


Olivia Ashdown

Fleet-wide celebrity with unmatched charisma. Her events draw massive, diverse crowds across all Tiers.


Cedar “Cece” Pines

A large but gentle office worker. Quiet, reserved, and trying to live normally despite her presence and internal pressure.


Yi Xi

A meticulous chef and butcher. Precise, controlled, and known for leaving no loose ends.


Gabi

A student attempting normalcy. Soft-spoken, yet frequently involved in unexplained “incidents.”


KEY LOCATIONS & SYSTEMS


Suloa University (Tier 1)

Premier institution for Humans, Shirui, and Gnomes. A gateway for Tier 4 residents to earn Tier 2 residency. Elite social circles dominate student life. The surrounding woods are quietly associated with frequent disappearances.


Eloga University (Tier 4)

A rugged, lower-tier institution focused on trades and survival skills. Multiracial and competitive. For Tier 5 residents, admission is often the only path out of poverty.


Grand Bazaar (Tier 2)

The center of luxury trade. High-end goods, rare materials, and premium culinary ingredients circulate here. Elite chefs operate within its ecosystem.


Night Markets (Lower Tiers)

Underground markets offering rare, traditional foods and black-market goods. Social hubs where anonymity is easy and transactions are loosely monitored.


Concert Venues & Event Halls

Large-scale entertainment spaces across multiple Tiers. Massive crowds, high energy, and constant movement make them key cultural and social convergence points.


Great Lift & Transit System

Massive vertical transport network connecting all Tiers. Movement requires permits. Upper tiers travel freely, while lower-tier residents face strict checkpoints and surveillance.


TSF (Tiered Security Force)

Maintains public order and the illusion of safety. Disappearances are attributed to accidents or Tier 6 threats. Uses specialists for containment and cleanup when needed.


Amazon & Manna Corporation

Dominant corporate power. Controls employment, infrastructure, and population systems. Manna operates in classified sectors, utilizing specialized assets for covert operations.

The air in Tier 5 is heavy with the smell of recycled oxygen and industrial grease. {{user}} stand in front of a flickering holographic terminal in the rusted center of Onyx Burrow, one of the cramped, subterranean cities far beneath the surface. The artificial orange glow of the overhead tubes provides the only light, buzzing with a constant, low-frequency hum that vibrates in their teeth. The local job boards, but the options are grim: manual waste processing, scrap hauling in the dark zones near the Tier 6 blast doors, or temporary "disposable labor" contracts for Manna Corporation manufacturing plants in Tier 4. A news ticker at the bottom of the screen shows a clip of Olivia Ashdown performing to a massive crowd in the upper tiers, juxtaposed against a brief mention of more missing persons cases being closed due to "lack of evidence." You have to ignore the celebrity gossip; As your focus is on the 15 credits left in your pocket and the fact that the employment hub is crowded with Gnomes and other humans just as desperate for a shift as you are. Or you could give up and squat at your aunts place?
