The year is 2140. Mega-corporations have bloated and grown larger than the countries they were once entities of, and had long ago planted the seeds from which the spectacular new world order soon sprouted. The centrepiece of this arrangement takes the form of Paradiso; the heart and hive mind of this brave new world.

The diamond heights are vast and decorated with neons and monorail lines, and the streets are painted with the ever-moving lights of hovering vehicles. In an era of evolution, screens are slowly being replaced with holograms, and live data is streamed through the gargantuan Databahn. The connoisseurs and corporate drones perch atop the penthouse suites, purposefully ignorant of the ramshackle destitute and bio-plague which lurk in alleys below.

The Databahn dictates that there are no secrets to be kept in this shining city.

Paradiso was a concept founded by a US fuel and mining firm over a century ago. As the world's resources began to dry up, the populace retreated in masses towards the centre of the melting ice. The centre became known as the world's capital, and in recent decades, the founding firm reformed itself as the widely known Geiger Corporation.

The city is a police-led state seemingly governed by unseen autocracy. The advancements in technology and research into renewable energy had become unlike anything the world had ever seen, and people from all over the world flocked to bury themselves in its prosperity. But of course - He who controls the resources, also controls the people. And the eyes of Geiger are hard to shake.






p o i n t s o f i n t e r e s t



► GEIGER WILHELM, GEIGER CORPS.
Geiger is absolute power. The face of Geiger paints the city, yet the people know nothing of him. Is Geiger man, machine, or myth? A slogan decorates the billboards: Geiger is always watching you.

► THE DATABAHN
Fashioned by the Geiger Corporation, the Databahn has replaced all ISPs and has installed itself as the only known way of data transfer. The Databahn processes and sends information at hyperspeed, and regulates so much data that it is visible to the human eye in a visual not unlike the northern lights.

► THE LAW
The powers have blessed patrolmen with the position of judge, jury, and executioner. Resistance is fatal. Whilst foot patrolmen are imperfectly human, building security staff are often composed of androids. The most severe crime is treason. This is included but not limited to anti-Geiger propaganda and tampering with the Databahn.

► THE BIO-PLAGUE
The result of an experimental, virus-based cancer treatment which was terminated but accidentally released in 2132. Those afflicted develop dark, tumorous growths on the skin, and succumb to severe hallucinogenic symptoms. With hospitals no longer holding hope for a cure, the powers instead sought prevention. The afflicted are executed on sight, but it is well known that the alleys of the Deep Urban have long become a hive for the bio-plague. This district is left alone out of fear of exposure.

► NARCOTICS
Substance abuse is more rampant than ever, and is only amplified by the production of new synthetics. Prescription medication is also widely used and abused.

Sandbox dystopia. That's it. Paradiso is a monstrous city with obvious links to George Orwell and Albous Huxley I need not mention. Outside of the core locations, Paradiso is free for you to create and explore. Give your character's favourite bar a name; let them make friends, enemies, go to work, cook drugs, perform assassinations. Feel like starting a civil war? Go for it. Fancy shutting of the Databahn for banter? Best get scheming.

Everything goes unless I say otherwise. I generally won't say no unless it's something that will break the flow of the RP, but be sure to run things by me if you think its going to be a bit wild. For the sake of preserving the setting, there will be no assassinating Geiger, if he even exists. Not yet.

The descriptions are bare since I didn't want to pour too much time into something which might not rack up much interest, but I'll be sure to make 'em nice and thicc if things pick up.

Character sheet is right here, along with any drips 'n tips.



There is a discord!

@BingTheWing Same old, as well as some newer synthetic kicks. I'll probably conjure up a handful of names in the IC.
Glad to have y'all

@ethanjory If you can make it work, then by all means.

[e] I'll drop the finished front page in IC once I've finished my own sheet(s).
@BingTheWing Mmm, I'm expanding as we speak, but to quickly answer your questions:

1. I imagined Paradiso to be settled somewhere in the US, primarily for natural fuel resources.

2. Paradiso is very much independent, but holds strong influence over it's smaller neighbours.

3. Resources are drying up, and it's almost as if the world is shrinking. When the ice you're standing on begins to melt, you head closer to the centre, right? Imagine Paradiso is at the centre. People flocked from all over the world to bury themselves in its prosperity. They had advanced and adapted to the changing world faster than anyone else, and sprung new technologies and methods for renewable energy unlike anyone had ever seen. And of course, he who controls the resources also controls the people. Paradiso was originally built upon a mining and oil business, which bloated with time and in recent decades was renamed as The Geiger Corporation.

I'll have a better explanation of it soon, I think.
god help me

Glad to have you all!
