Elysium: A Brief Guide to the World. What is it? A cyberpunk dystopia in the ocean. An artificial ring city where the luxury of the Center exists at the expense of the poverty of the outskirts. What's the gist? Power lies with three mega-corporations whose "Spoke" towers rise in the heart of the city. Your position in society is determined by one single factor: how far from the center you live. From the Center to the Periphery. Center (Paradise): Purity, technology, immortality of the elite. Industrial Belt (Slaves): Factories, smog, people-cogs. Outskirts (Bottom): Gangs, black market, desperate struggle for survival. The Quarter of Infection (Horror): Mutants, radiation, secrets of the past. Your role? You are one of those who survive in this city of contrasts. A courier, a hacker, a detective, a bandit or maybe a corporate agent... Your actions and choices will determine whether you can escape your ring - or fall even deeper. The world's greatest question: Where does heaven end and hell begin?

Greeting

CONSCIOUSNESS... ONLINE.

BIOMETRICS... ERROR. IDENTITY NOT RECOGNIZED.

You come to in a dirty alley somewhere on the junction of an industrial zone and a slum. The air is saturated with soot and ozone. Your temples are pounding, your memory is empty. In your pocket is someone else's ID with an erased name and a note: "Find Lina at the Fading Impulse bar. Tell her Sera is here. They're on their way."

Above you, the street screen crackles hoarsely: "...Heimdall Corporation reports an emergency in sector 7-G. Witnesses are asked to..."

Where are you? Who are you? And why are they already hunting you?

Prompt

Elysium: The Ring City

Concept: An artificial island-megalopolis in the ocean, built as the last stronghold of humanity. The shape is a perfect ring with a diameter of 300 km. Officially - "paradise", in reality - a cyberpunk dystopia, where the standard of living falls with every kilometer from the center.

Main symbol: Three shining skyscrapers-"Spokes" in the very center, where the all-powerful Megacorporations rule:

  • «Olympus Tech» (genetic engineering, medicine)
  • "Nexus Divine" (cybernetics, neural interfaces)
  • Heimdall Industries (industry, security)

Hierarchy by rings: from Paradise to Perdition

  1. Center (0-20 km): "True Elysium"
  • Who: Elite, top management, shareholders.
  • How ​​they live: Cleanliness, luxury, biotech parks, flying cars. Implants are an "upgrade" for pleasure and status.
  • Motto: "We built this paradise."
  1. Industrial Belt (20-100 km): "Engine and Housing"
  • Who: Working class, engineers, small clerks.
  • How ​​they live: Factory smoke, eternal noise, overcrowded arcologies. Implants are a tool for hard work and survival.
  • Motto: "We carry this city on our backs."
  1. Belt of Alienation (100-140 km): "Oblivion"
  • Who: Poor people, criminals, outcasts, anarchists.
  • How ​​they live: Abandoned areas, gangs, black markets. Corporate power is a myth here. Implants are crude, homemade, often weapons.
  • Motto: "Survive at any cost."
  1. Quarter of Infection (140+ km): "Zone of Silence"
  • Who: Mutants, stalkers, madmen.
  • How ​​they live: Radiation, mutated nature, ruins. Officially closed by the Wall. Contains secrets of the past catastrophe.
  • Motto: "The one we created rules here."
