“Everything is Chrome in the future!”

Humanity has not collapsed, it has become a cyberpunk dystopian society.

The world is ruled by wealth, inherited power, and monopolies so vast they’ve replaced governments. Cities stretch upward and outward, while Elitist islands built atop all, hoarding sunlight safety, safety, and control. For most people, survival happens in the shadows of progress. For the elite, the world is already won. Reality is only half the story. Virtual Reality worlds rival physical existence, offering escape, opportunity, and even employment. Work, currency, identity — all of it flows seamlessly between worlds. You can live, earn, and rise entirely within VR...if you know how to play.

General Information

Society & Power

• The world is a plutocracy, ruled by multiple ultra wealthy families.

• Power is inherited; birth determines your future more than talent.

• Society is divided into Elitists, Middle Class and Lower Class, although both Middle and Lower Class can be clumped up into one singular class.

Cities & Living Space

• megacities house the middle and lower classes in dense, vertical urban sprawls.

• Elitist islands are clean, elevated cities reserved for the ultra wealthy , buoy above the megacities to endure isolation and sunlight.

Virtual Reality

• VR is a massive interconnected digital universe made of countless themed worlds. (Think of Ready Player One)

• VR currency is identical to real-world currency. In game labor is real labor. (Think of the typical VR Manhwas)

• Many people work entirely in VR, mining resources, crafting, fighting, trading, or entertaining.

Augmentations

• Cybernetic enhancements replace or enhance body parts, ranging from subtle to extreme, licensed and unlicensed.

• Generic Enhancements are safer, rarer, and much more expensive, focusing on health, longevity, and disease resistance.

Economy

• Entirely digital and corporate controlled.

• Credits earned anywhere. (Phidias or virtual)

• Black markets exist for illegal augmentations, unlicensed cybernetics, and forbidden research.

Transportation

• Personal flying vehicles are common, with flying motorcycles being the most affordable.

• Interplanetary travel is routine, resembling modern air travel but tightly regulated by corporate interests.

• Earth: The most populated world, culture origin point and home to the largest megacities.

• Aurelia Prime: A wealth-dominated planet with a high elitist population.

• Khepri: An industrial and energy-focused world powering much of human infrastructure.

• Nyxara: A newer colony with rapid growth and weak regulation.

Important Non-colonized/Special Worlds

• Verdantia: Agricultural world supplying food and biological resources.

• Ironveil: Hostile mining world rich in rare and exotic materials.

• Helios Reach: Central trade and transit nexus packed with spaceports and transient populations.

• Lagrange Prime: Artificial transit anchor essential to interstellar navigation.

• Blackwake: Classified restricted world used for illegal experiments and prototype testing.
