Blink. Blink. Blink. The cursor blinks slowly. Then words scroll across your vision, imprinted directly onto your retina. Welcome, [Citizen //NAMINGERROR], to the City of Dreams! Here you will find many enjoyable p4st tiemeeesssszk suhc a After that, it is simply random letters and numbers, and an occasional ampersand. Whatever this message used to be, it is obviously no longer. You look around the dilapidated building, at the blood on the wall. Welcome To The Slums, Meat. //sessionError :

Ring. Ring ring. Beep. Your fingers drift lazily over the screen. You have time, after all. All the time in the world. You plug yourself in, cables locking into ports on the back of your neck and head, in the temporal and occipital regions. You press play on the message. Welcome, [Citizen //DATABASEINCOMPLETE], to the City of Dreams! You are currently in the [Greater Altitude] District! Congratulations for your good fortune, unless you are currently illegally inhabiting this house. If you are, please alert the police so you can be detained and/or executed! Activities in this region include... Your attention fades to more pressing concerns. You load a new drug, IO99SG-4/v, and gasp happily as it floods your neural net. You have few concerns anymore; the entire world could fall apart around you and you'd still be happy as long as you could plugin//logout. Welcome To Angel City, User. //serverError :

The Slums, called much worse names by some, is inhabited by people who call themselves Slummers, and who the Angel City residents call hardware rats, when they're feeling jealous. They're heavily augmented, sometimes barely human anymore. There are a few standard augments: Full-body implants that can provide immediate, complete genetic rewrites (even though multiple rewrites cause genetic instability and protein denaturation, and people who rewrite often use stabilization implants); regional muscle-enhancing augments (providing extreme strength but in a small area, often accompanied by extreme ossification procedures or bone-metal grafts); and the Full Sensory Augmentation, which includes augments to the lens or retina, CNS and PNS, olfactory pathways and cell numbers, as well as the general senses. Slummers form gangs that protect their own and fight for limited territory and resources. The only peaceful areas are the "Elysian Gardens", and peaceful is a relative term, since these verdant areas are where gangs go to make peace and love, often violently.
The Slums aren't necessarily a cesspool of corruption: There are certain areas that are left alone by mutual agreement. The few printing presses that operate when there is paper, the schools, and churches and mosques and any other house of worship that's still standing. Otherwise, the landscape is brutally destroyed, and any intact buildings are treasured. Tech hoards are hidden everywhere, and "androdogs", those who have given themselves completely to inhumanity and insanity, stalk the streets, looking for anything alive to kill. At best, life in the Slums is hard. At worst, it's impossible. But the citizens of the Slums have one mission: To live. And they're good at it. //shutdownError :

Angel City, called much worse names by some, is home to those the Slummers call brainjackers, if they're feeling generous. The Archangels (as they call themselves) survive on minor physical augments; the majority of their improvements are mental in nature. They're incredibly clever and quick, and when they're not on drugs or engaged in whatever stimulating activity they can find, they're known to harass the Slummers or create amazing things. The Archangels are capable of science that seems like magic, and that is their defense. Their refuse, the nonfunctional or inane tech, is thrown to the Slummers for them to fight over. Most of them are incredibly vapid or absentminded, and they rarely leave their little ecosystems, instead accessing the Network, from which they can order resources that are delivered by mechs, or speak to one another directly, with their minds. There are also a few androdogs for them to worry about, but they rarely stray far from the Slums.
Angel City is, physically, not as run-down as the Slums, but it's not golden and glittering, either. Most functions rely on a network of artificial intelligences, with very few true engineers left. There are a number of famous landmarks that have been recreated: The Eiffel Tower of Paris, the Empire State Building of New York City, the Burj Khalifa of Dubai, among others. Many of the buildings are residential, but many are also servers, built to house the massive network that caters to every person in Angel City. Their sole mission is to exist, in their own way, and at that they succeed exceedingly well. //serverRoom{Primary} : statusCheck

//accessDatabase : Citizens ///addendum : //sortRelevance Username : [Luciiraptar]
Citizen Name : [Clara Lanke]
[Citizen Age : [17-ish]
Augments/Tech : [Full-body metal-bone graft; extra-visual modes; partially mechanical limbs; 40% brain mechanization (60% organic, 40% computer).]
Weapons : [Long-range plasma saw (launches focused beams of plasma, blooms after 5 yards); short range EMP; titanium-orichalcum blades; Dominant arm has strength augment; Small thrusters on arms to deliver more powerful punches and stabilize falls.]
Biography : [She used to be an androdog, but she was reformed by a doctor that is now deceased. She retains her augments and occasionally loses control of herself, but on the whole she is now a functioning member of Slums "society", although she acts independently of any gang, taking jobs as necessary, as long as it doesn't require killing.]
Psych Profile : [Often confused by things people say, she is generally warm and kind, and slow to anger, as anger can cause her to lose control. If someone points out how kind she is, she'll blush and say that she replaced that part of her brain years ago. When forced into violence, she will gladly wound and maim, but tries to avoid killing, and will show remorse if forced to kill someone.]
