    Prologue
    Singularity City, Formerly Chicago.

    Singularity city was created as a UN led social experiment in a world that’s on the verge of a new world war. This super advanced metropolitan area was built to last. Started in 2025, this monster of a city is now a international hotbed for spies, Intelligence organizations, hackers, riggers, organized crime, scientists and regular old folks trying to make a living in the worlds most advanced city. Welcome to your home. Doesn't matter if you are a newly arrived defense contractor working for one of the Massive Corporations that pretty much own the upper levels, or a thug That's running with the Gangs on low and mid level. Or if you're a spy who spent far to much time in modern day Babylon. You are home. Welcome to SC kid, I hope you brought yourself a trench oat, because Chicago used to be rainy this time a year.

    Current Events and The City;
    The Singularity Project

    In midst of the political turmoil, With America once more on track after the hostilities settled down. UN came with a As well as a new, super efficient energy source. Spearheaded by Dr Joseph Gilhelm , a brilliant physicist who years easlier had deviced a small test reactor of his own in his native home of New Zealand. The main device was something what he called a “implosion core“ A self contained energy source that constantly fluxed between expanding and detracting, s essentially imploding itself creating massive amounts of energy whenever it exploded outwards. This, combined with the advancements in man and machine integration, led to new age. One that would See America rise from its darkest hours back to a financial powerhouse. The UN in the meanwhile, Established Singularity city on what was once Chicago.

    Chicago, having been the worst hit by the riots, was in dire straits. The city looked like a warzone, crime was rampart and its people lived in third world country conditions. The UN went in, suggesting rebuilding it as Singularity City. In turn, the UN would finance the reconstruction. This super advanced city, the most advanced in human history was a multi-trillion project, financed by many different countries with interest. Including countries that clearly just funneled money from China. It was a project trying to advance humanity, the largest social experiment in history. Based on studies conducted on the citizens who all were essentially test subjects in their own right, the discoveries and new technology developed on site has been made with neck breaking speed. To help police the massive project, the Un have a special internation police force trained nad situated in Singularity. The SCPD is much like a foreign legion in that it has people from all over the world. To make the allready superactive Melting pot worse, there is dozens of highly competetive Mega cooperations, vying for the patents that may change the future. The city itself is buil around the basis that higher is better. In fact, the entire city has become so massive and so large in height that Its sectioned in levels. The higher up, the less polluted, the less dirty it gets. But also the more controlled it gets. As such. on the lower levels, you are more likely to find the Triads, Mob Thugs and street gangs.

    The City of Singularity City is standing on the verge of a new breakthrough. Everyone can feel it, everyone is anticipating it. Exactly what it will consist of nobody knows. But what people do know is that there has been a large amount of gang violence on the lower levels. That Triads are more active then ever and that the Police are out in force. In the midst of this, our characters find themselves for different reasons, stuck in the middle of a Cold War about to go Hot.

    As I said in the interest, I'd like to join too. The world you created also interests me and I love cyberpunk to begin with haha. I have a couple character ideas in mind to, but I may wait to see one or two before I throw one up, just to make sure I'm doing it right.

    Nothing can stop the power of the human will!

    Ha! I should be able to get a CS up later tonight or tomorrow morning. Looking good mate, excited for this.

    Put the thorn in my side, the coins on my eyes
    I'm not awake, I'm leaving Eden
    And all her frozen charms lie cold in my arms
    Panic went away and left me reeling
    It's warm outside but the weather fails to hide
    the stinging loss inside
    For in the back of my mind I always thought I'd find my way to paradise
    On I'd walk to paradise

    Updated with some quick rules. This is by far the most restrictive I have ever gotten. But this subgenre attracts the worst of characters I swear XD
