DISCLAIMER: The premise of this RP does not attempt to be xenophobic or anti-immigrant in any way. If you have concerns, feel free to notify the OP.




ネオン の 神



Inspirations: Akira, Yojimbo, Jack Reacher, the Godfather.

Premise


  • Starting date and location August 13, 2055, in the fictional rural town of Suribachi, Hyōgo prefecture, Japan.
  • The following technologies are widespread: VR, Internet of Things, cybernetic limbs and implants, self-driving cars, household robots.
  • Since the early 2020s, Japan’s population began experiencing a severe slump, threatening to drop to 85 million people by the current date if left unattended.
  • This forced Japan to weaken its immigration policy, reducing requirements for work visas, residential permits, and even naturalization.
  • A sudden influx of immigrants from Korea, a drastically overpopulated China, Southeast Asia, India, South America, Russia, and the United States start to arrive on Japanese soil to live and work, turning Japan into a multicultural society.
  • With these drastic social changes came an increased crime rate, with mafias from other countries expanding their influence into cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Sapporo.
  • Other minor crime families from Moscow, New York, and Shanghai war for control over territory in the Japanese countryside.
  • Suribachi, a humble town of around 70,000, has long been yakuza territory, but in recent years a San Francisco-based family called the Sycamores have challenged their claim from Kobe.
  • Drive-by shootings, muggings, and street brawls have become more common in Suribachi. Many people are fleeing the violence, left untethered by an ineffectual prefectural government.
  • Yet your character, who may be a recent visitor or a long-time resident, has decided to stay. Do they have unfinished business? Grudges to settle? Loose threads to sever?

Interested, because this is incredibly “my shit”, but I’ve got a few conflicting interests right now, so no hard guarantees. Are full-body prosthetics going to be a thing here, or has brain transplant technology still not been perfected?

@Turboshitter It would probably be in early clinical trials at best. You were thinking of a character with a fully synthetic body?

Oh, I have several questions.

- What about the presence of Japanese corporations or zaibatsu's within this RP?
- Are we, the players, allowed to world-build within the brief synopsis of the setting you have illustrated for us in the OP?
- What are your expectations for us as role-players? Because you posted this interest check in the casual and advanced sections.

@The Bork Lazer
- Japanese industry will of course retain some of their influence, but only with the help of a large body of foreign skilled and unskilled workers to compensate for local population deficiencies. That’s actually gonna be one of the RP’s main talking points.
- Yes, of course, but I will be posting some brief lore as general guidelines as to the state of the world.
- That is my usual practice to see which forum would the RP best jive in. It is also my belief that what usually sets Casual and Advanced apart is less of writing capability but more of the type of community.
