Firstly, it's a bit of both. It will be brewing before we start but i'd imagine the characters might have something to do with its development. ;)
Also yes, multiple factions are vying for control of Babylon. There's going to be some serious in-fighting. One of the factions i can reveal is a descendant of the Knights Templar and the Red Cross.

Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.
I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.
This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.
My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

Glad you think so. :) Does everyone get the idea with genofixing? I'm not sure i explained it as well as i could have.
The drugs would lengthen their attention span and focus, but eventually the lack of sleep would take its toll on the human body. The drugs are mainly supplicants and can't replace food, water and sleep. The genofixing glands are also in the Culture Series. Deep Blue is my favorite. 
That is the natural conclusion of augmentation, should people choose to :) Exciting.
Unfortunately not, what's that about?
Augmentation would be tolerated because there is nothing against it in the constitution. However there's an ongoing debate about it and interactions between people who believe in both sides sometimes get a little...out of hand? Most people keep a low profile regarding it but there are always extremists. Think Deus ex Machina.
A large percentage of Babylon's citizens have genofixed glands, which can produce a cocktail from thousands of pre-programmed chemicals which have varying effects on the body. Some are for pleasure, some are for focus, some are for stamina etc. Once you're familiar with your gland and its capabilities, you can to a degree master certain chemical impulses to make them more defined, or mix them up to create something entirely new.
As for Augmentation, integration of organic and Machine mind. (think Master Chief and Cortana), bio tech, replacement limbs etc. All kind of things. Bare in mind that most of the stuff is subtle and not fit for conversation at dinner parties etc. There are various alignments, pro-humans who believe in not tampering the body and remaining pure, pro-machine who believe in melding man and machine. Of course to start off with this debate isn't going to be at the forefront of the RP.

Okay great. Augmentation and genofixing is something of a fad in Outremer at the time of RP.
Not a problem, ask away whenever you want! I'd rather you got all the info than get confused.
It's collaborative story writing. You take care of your character, and everyone else will dictate the rest. Of course there are rules, guidelines and etiquette but it's all fairly straightforward. We're trying to create a picture and story for everyone to enjoy basically.
