@Rhymer I think I'll play a human, with horns and a robotic arm and an eye patch.

@Voltus_Ventus

As long as you explain how that happened :)

@Rhymer

Well could I add something with a plot line? Because I wanted my character to be part of a larger Satyr community, maybe they belonged to a group of refugees and a spiteful sorcerer cursed them to be half goats in protest to the influx of people from the surface.

@Voltus_Ventus

This might not be the RP for you if you want to play a standard fantasy race.

@Rhymer Fantasy races as characters? I was thinking of having my character be a satyr of some description.

@Voltus_Ventus

Nah. But eldritch magic can have altered your characters appearance if you wish. Many sorcerers become disfigured. Nobles might have install bio-augments in their bodies. Be creative with the weird mix of magic/technology but no fantasy races please.

Small question, where would most of the labs be situated?

@Legion02

Working on a city map now. Any district is suitable but a Laboratory in Highpool for instance would seriously piss off the nobility.

Heres the map so far: (Final will be bigger size etc.)

EXEGESIS (2 spots left!)

Kalopsia City Districts

Arena

The Arena quarter is an orgiastic miasma of pleasure palaces, fighting arenas and narcotics-dens. The city maintains the main Arena, called MARVEL. In the oval rings, mechs fight, mock-battles are fought and executions are staged. It is a thing of the masses but also of the nobility and industrialists, and criminal world. Gambling and corruption are all part of the scene.

Outside the Marvel are narrow streets packed with drug-dens, diners and bistros, NET-access ports and Criminal Dens. City Militia are wary to patrol the Arena quarter, but are not afraid to pursue and apprehend high-level threats.

Bastion

Bastion houses the government facilities including the Network Mainframes, The City Council buildings and Militia HQ. There are vast green lawns and reflecting pools. Nobles and city officials stroll along the concourse. Monuments and decorative trees dot the landscape. A handful of officials residences and manors are built along the waterway. A heavily guarded TRAM station connects Bastion to the other districts and a private hangar houses government vehicles.

Highpool

The decadent paradise of the ruling elite. Highpool is centered around a vast artificial lake that is stocked with rare fishes and birds designed and engineered from DNA samples in the Guild Archives. Many of the Nobility of Kalopsia own manors overlooking the wide, dark lake. Bridges span the shallows and phosphorescent lights illuminate the smooth architecture.

But Highpool is not merely decorational, The Guild Archive is located on the center island. It is a heavily fortified bastion that houses all of the information collected since the birth of mankind. The cylindrical building is simply adorned, reaching high into the next city levels and far below into the lake. The soft orange glow of the lower level lights underwater can be seen as you approach on the single drawbridge.

Industry

The Hall of Industry houses some of the cities largest companies producing an assortment of consumer goods. The most important of which are rations and plasti-steel, the all important construction material of the city. Industry is located near the Residenz district.

Landfall

Landfall is the rarely used transport hub for the surface world. A relic from ages past, the great hangar has been taken over by the SCAVENGERS, a guild petitioning the city for official recognition, independent mercenaries, traders, merchants and criminals. A makeshift town has sprung up in Landfall, constructed of derelict ship parts, scavenged structures (from the surface) and stolen plasti-steel.

Network

Network is not a physical place in the city. It is the digital realm where information, commerce and elder magics coalesce. Over time, the Network has been over-run by hordes of hackers and users, criminals and malcontents. DEEPSERVER is a part of the network that has been infiltrated by Eldritch Magics, resulting in user madness, altered reality and anomalies. Priests around the city have attempted to understand the affect of magic on the NETWORK-but little progress has been made.
Citizens use the upper tiers of NETWORK for basic communication, commerce and entertainment. The city uses the middle-tiers, a slightly more secure area of NETWORK, for communications and accounting. Between Middle-network and DEEPSERVER is a small net used by criminals and malevolent hackers.

Residenz

The vast plasti-steel faced housing barracks of the working class. The low-level income earners live in the Residenz tenaments, ten story high grey faced and identical housing units. There are two City Militia barracks, public transport via TRAM and a handful of schools and stores. Most citizens rely on government ration stations for food and water. There is a wall between Residenz and the other non-industrial districts.

You type "Ships Log" into the system and the screen goes blank for a heartbeat..

Then it whirs back to life sending random characters scrawling across the screen.

The message played back sounds like your voice. But you don't remember saying those things-nor do you remember any 'pirates'. You wonder if you should check out the cargo bay or look through the computer systems some more.

You enter "Y" using the small pop-down keyboard under the screen and...nothing happens. You wait, checking over your shoulder warily. You hear the computer working, small digital clicks and pops behind the screen.This ship is old... you think. After another minute or two a command module appears on the screen in dull green font.

The good Doctor Hudson had held Maxs attention so rapt, the magician barely noticed when Lord Fowles began to speak. The floor began rumbling after the enigmatic Lords speech. "Did he say The Grimtooth? Max managed to squeak out. The entire ballroom began to descend. Bottles and glasses and plates were smashing to the floor. A loud CLACKING, as if massive gears and machinery started working filled the room. The floor lurched and Maxs stomach twisted with the unnatural movement. His mind was racing in a dull, fuzzy downhill sort-of-way, certainly not helped by the wine.

What the devil is a Grimtooth? Max thought. The room was definitely descending now. Max could see strata of rock and steel beams. Apparently there was a subterranean lair beneath this mansion. Of course. Max thought. He looked around the room to take stock of how everyone else was reacting.

Need any help with those? I'd be very interested in helping.

@Voltus_Ventus

Cool. If you have any ideas PM me!
