The year is 2055, and the world is a much different place. The world’s population has exploded in the past few generations, causing the already crowded streets of the world’s major cities to fill to near bursting. This plus upheavals in cultural and the international infrastructure, strained many of the worlds old governments to the near implosion point, a few actually falling in the upheaval. But the chaos was to be short lived, as mega corporations used this moment to seize power from most of the old governments of the world. They restored order, their kind of order, without much of a fight.
To compensate for the population demands huge public works projects began. Great Hab towers began erupting from the skylines, soon coming to dominate the view. As the great towers reached their final heights huge platforms began to be constructed between them, sealing them as the crowns of the sky, and the Rich away from the masses.
These cities were aptly named Neo Cities, for their new approach and the new order which they served.
That was the hope anyway.
Welcome to Neo Roma Built over what was once called Chicago, it was one of the original Neo cities (Now commonly called hives by the people of the lower city). It was once the shining example of what the New Order and the new cities were supposed to represent, a fresh start for us all. For a time it embodied this dream, but as time went on and the population of the city just kept rising, due to immigration and natural births, the city changed. It began with the Police losing their already tenuous grasp on the Ground Level, allowing the crime lords to infest and control that part of the city, and has continued with the introduction of the drug only known as Red Spice.
Now what was once called "The city of dreams and new hope", seems to not be able to make itself dream past tomorrow. Still that has not stopped motivated individuals who have taken up the good fight in the under city, but theirs is an uphill fight as new players on the top and on the ground have entered the game.
The only question I pose to you now is this. Will you be the one to save the city, or will you seize what its underbelly has to offer?
But no matter what you choose remember this, nothing in Neo Roma is ever as it seems.
and that seems to be it for now, if you have any questions, comments or ideas, feel free to drop me a line!
