So I made up a roleplay a long time ago, but i can't remember all the little details. The general jist of it is this:

In the not-too-distant future a global catastrophe renders the entire world uninhabitable by humans, fortunately all of the worlds best, brightest and richest people combine their resources to have a huge floating city built, a floating pleasure palace so that they can ascend above the destruction and the human race can survive.

Their descendants make their home in the bright and vibrant Upper City. Living glamorous lives and working comfortable, high-class jobs



The workers and engineers who actually built the city were rewarded with positions in it when it rose to safety, after all without them, who would operate and maintain all of the city's factories and machines. Their descendants live in the smog filled Undercity, alongside the very machines and reactors that they maintain.



Then there is a faction of death cultists that believe the catastrophe that left the earth uninhabitable was God's Judgment on a sinful world, and that by building the floating city, humans were disobeying God's will. They snuck a sleeper cell on board the city and their descendants remain carrying out occasional small scale terrorist attacks all over the city.

So basically it's a Dystopian Cyberpunk/Sci-fi roleplay set on a giant floating city separated between a distinct Upper and Lower class
There are a butt-load of details that I've forgotten but I wanted to see if there was any interest in my bringing this back before I put any more effort into remembering or recreating this.

I did just remember one detail. It's to do with Cybernetics.

Cybernetics were invented just before the catastrophe and continue to be used in the City. In the Upper city cybernetics are state of the art and streamlined. Some people in the Upper City get Cybernetics to make their lives easier or for their jobs. While in the Undercity Cybernetics are ugly, cobbled together things built by unlicenced black market engineers and people only get them to compensate for injuries, so that they can keep on working.

I also remember the last time I did this roleplay, one player was a complete cyborg. A robotic body with an AI brain, but I'm not sure if I should have that in this one or not.

Alright, let's see where this goes. I have a few ideas in my mind for this. Question though: What races are allowed? Just human/Cyborgs or can we incorporate some more fantasy types too? I figured it might go along the route of Shadowrun when these new races are just mutated strings of humans, but it's up to you I know.

Hmm...not feeling that. I think humans have a wide enough range of personality/archetypes to fill any role we might need. It just doesn't fit with me when I think sci-fi (unless it's space of course) dystopia. But it is up to the GM in the end.

I suppose so, though I reserve the right to play an Asian guy.

Would I be allowed to make a robot? Not something special, but created to help maintain the machines?

Very well then I have been convinced to put my effort into bring this back. I'll try and remember everything I can about the world. The rest I'll have to figure out from scratch. Then I'll start working on the OOC.
