Genesis City



Genesis City is a sprawling cityscape that’s the only city on a completely terraformed world, always growing and always expanding. The city is divided into different sectors, many of them catering to different lifestyles, comfort, and needs of displacees, from farms to casinos. There’s shadier parts of the city, as there always is in any city, by displacees simply used to getting by any way they know how, but largely they stick to what’s called The Underworld, a small section of underground tunnels and expanses underneath a certain sector.

The center of Genesis City houses CoRe's HQ, the center of the Confederacy of Realities, fittingly. A lot of legislative bodies and ambassadors live here, and the CoRe Advisory Council also meets here. A lot of embassy offices are in this single building.

Bullet Train Border - BTB
The BTB is a long bullet train that courses just over the border walls of Genesis City, serving as...well, both a bullet train and a border. The BTB is, outside of CoRe employee-allowed teleportation, the easiest way for anyone to get around Genesis City, with stops everywhere, and most everything within walking distance of a stop. You can also take a train directly to outside of the city, where Big Gate is located - (the mother of all Gates).

A popular pasttime is to enjoy a good card game during a ride. I recommend Duel Monsters.

The Oasis
The Oasis is a medium-sized lake in the middle of Genesis City.

=The District System= The District System largely represents the melting pot that is Genesis City, and within it, Genesis.

Within it - the goal is, anyway - is the attempt to make a proper place for everyone - and anyone - to be comfortable with, in a place that lies within their natural civilization structure.


 * Gantan District - This district focuses on Japanese culture, both modern and in some places, more historical. Lotus blossoms bloom freely in season, and the blend between past and present (and sometimes future) flow seamlessly in this district. Gantan District provides a great deal of fishing along the Oasis, and, every so often, a fighting tournament is held here.
 * Derision's Peak - one of the few high natural surfaces in Genesis City, this small overlook is often the place for moody citizens to mope while looking over the horizon.
 * Kakuriyo - a small hangout spot run by a Shinto practitioner, mystical beings often end up coming here for tea and conversation.
 * Towabara - a wide open plain, the largest in Genesis City. It's serene and incredibly quiet, even surrounded by life at all sides.
 * Jukai Forest - a forest known for its thickness and calm. A popular place for secluded meditation.
 * Gantan Tower - It's Tokyo Tower, but square in the Gantan District, largely.


 * Neopolis Zone - A more contemporary and futuristic area, Neopolis Zone focuses on a great deal of in-depth technological joys. From massive movie theaters to literal hoverboard rentals (due to regulations, no one can own one, and they're all tracked), Neopolis Zone boasts an impressive width and breadth of employment in consumer businesses and R&D, as well as pharmaceutical and medical wares.
 * Gateway Plaza - home to the busiest BTB station in Genesis City. You can get anywhere from here. They say if you want to meet someone new and interested, wait 5 minutes in Gateway Plaza.
 * Plaza East - home to many government and CoRe officials and diplomats, if they don't live in HQ.
 * Plaza West - home to many nightclubs and restaurants.
 * Club Cyberia - Because if you're not here, you're not anywhere important. A three story nightclub that parties 24/7. Run by two eccentric...gentlemen, yes.
 * The Eventide - a two story social club and bar/restaurant. Dress code is very upscale and formal, but mingling is encouraged. Popular among the nobility of all of Genesis City. Located very close to the beaches of the Oasis.
 * Plaza South (The Downside) - a hub of commerce and at times crime and gangs looking to prove themselves enough to be noticed by the Underworld. A few harbors exist here.
 * Keycard Village - a small cluster of houses and apartments where harbor workers live in the Downside. Named because the workers are so often working that every child has a keycard to let themselves in, coming home.
 * Bloody Roar Arena - Run by an ascendant synth who has grown bored with battle, the Bloody Roar Arena brings in monsters from a variety of dimensions to do battle with challengers in the arena. It is said its owner is searching for a spark to reignite her love for combat. Thus far, even victors have failed to impress her sufficiently.


 * New Royalesia - The kingdom within a city, New Royalesia is the district that possesses the most non-human population, from elves to dwarves to - well, they're still outnumbered by humans. Smiths and alchemists work around the clock to keep New Royalesia going, and while the life may be simple, it's far from lazy. Most magicians end up plying their trade in New Royalesia.
 * The First Vineyard - claims to be the first tavern in Genesis City's history. Claim is dubious.
 * Sage's Row - a section devoted to magical phenomenons and research.
 * Coiner's Row - a section dedicated to an open-air merchant's market.
 * Troia Opera House - A hollowed out giant tree fitted by elves to hold massive opera and theater performances.
 * The Dome of Black Dove - A mystical refuge for practitioners of black and shadow magic. Charmers and politicians both.
 * Whitestone - a residential area noted for its rows of alabaster houses.
 * The Royalesian Grand Library - What it says on the tin. This hold various histories of artifacts, wars, and noteworthy events from other dimensions, written by displacees.
 * The Tarisian Bank - the center of Royalesian commerce. A massive institution encrusted with guardian gargoyles and orbited by the floating spirits of long-dead debtors, because even in death, everyone should owe you something.
 * The Holy Tree - Located prominently and presented openly, the Holy Tree is the center of much religion in Royalesia. All living creatures will feel welcome and accepted in the splendor of this tree.
 * Sunhome, the High Keep - This citadel stands in the middle of New Royalesia, where the Highlord rules over the district. He governs the district as if it were a city-state, and justly at that.


 * The Underworld - A district that isn't openly visible, the Underworld resides below Genesis City, hidden from view but always there. All manner of weapons, information (even on other dimensions), drugs, and contraband can be found here, as well as an expansive casino and gentlemen's club. Exactly how to get there requires some knowledge...
 * Underworld Revel - No one knows when it happens, or why it happens, but every now and then when the moon's just right and the air's just off enough, the Underworld opens its doors to literally anyone, certain businesses on the surface transform, the lights change color and the real party begins. Good people stay indoors. Others...don't.
