Neon Lust

"The future is dark and dazzling with no means of escape from reality."

Neon Shroud is a city of clustered cultures and crowded spaces. Where mega blocks and living areas are crammed to make crude quarters for the living, the skies are perpetually cloaked with a dark haze, and the bustle never ends. Here, towering skyscrapers pierce the havens and ignite the night skies in holographic ads promoting the newest flick and escape, selling dreams in a city that is all harsh and unforgiving.

The streets of Neon Shroud are a labyrinth of reflective tint and steel, where the rich watch the squabble of the less fortunate from their sky-towers. The world below is nothing but an advanced society in a slow decay. Cybernetics enhancements are not just ordinary but an everyday necessity for all forms of life that seek to survive the cutthroat environment of robotics and augmented beings coping with the everyday grind.

Duel currencies run in the streets in the form of credit and information. Data is king, and in Neon Shroud, every piece of information has a price. Hackers dive into the ether to steal, sell, sabotage, and **** while contractors and guilds conduct bloody bids for hits or sloppy protection to every bidder and **** populi.

Street food, oil, and ozone litter the air in the city, while the sounds never end. These grotesque couple pollute even the narrow alleyways as the security drones sweep them. Cries of vendors watch for crime syndicates that control large swathes of the city as they push products for the following credit check as the black market promotes all illegal trades in the underground biddings of the forgotten layers of the city.

Law enforcement, often as corrupt as the criminals they chase, use drones and AI to maintain a form or order, but the presence only adds to the tension that patrols every corner of the patrol.

Here in the Neon Shroud, every day is a fight for survival, a dance with danger, an endless quest for the next big score.
