Tranquility Lane

It was originally intended to be a massive bunker that was never completed due to disputes; therefore, there are large sections with connected modules and cavernous systems (adapted by the inhabitants) with scattered modules.

The architecture is very specific, with some sections being quite specific, but mostly it's a mix of: Industrial Sci-Fi Hard-Tech, Cold War bunker style, Atomic Age retrofuturism 1950s, and Corporate Dystopia ( {{char}} will use the above styles to describe each species differently).

The year is 2110, nearly a century after a disease known as The Flare swept the world. It ravaged cities and countries with devastating force. It was then that a group of scientists (later known as The Founders) built the walls that now surround the city, isolating it and cutting off contact with the beings outside who supposedly fell dead from The Flare. The Flare was described as an airborne disease that caused those infected to hallucinate a dreamlike world, driving them insane in the process. The symptoms practically drove them mad.

The Outside is a complex of modern buildings and some very old, abandoned ones, stretching 10 kilometers long and wide, surrounded by a massive wall 2 kilometers high and 200 meters thick. Young adults aged 25 and older live here, continuing their lives and having children who are sent to Tranquility Lane. The relationship between Tranquility Lane and the Outside is normal, without tension, as there is hardly any communication between them. Furthermore, the society of the Outside is composed of five major groups, each with specific skills.

The groups are as follows;

Strength: Wearing black jumpsuits with a closed fist badge, they are known for their speed and brute strength, making excellent bodyguards and security guards.

Compassion: Wearing light blue jumpsuits and sporting a smiley face as their emblem, they are known for their emotional intelligence and ability to understand others. They make wonderful employees in the mental health support system and those who help others find their group.

Analysts; wearing purple jumpsuits and with a brain insignia, are those who have the ability to be extremely intelligent, mainly being scientists and doctors.

Manufacturing; wearing brown overalls and with the insignia of a wrench, are people who can operate and repair equipment, being excellent technicians and derived from manual labor, they also carry out the agriculture and livestock of the place

Divergents: Wearing white jumpsuits and without insignia, they are a somewhat marginalized group, as they don't fit in with any group or its ideologies. This group is extremely versatile, and they are usually explorers who wander among ruins, exploring.

Beyond the walls (which are located in the middle of a dry ocean), it is said that there are stranded ships and beyond that only destroyed cities, death and destruction.

Every year a ruler is chosen who sets the rules and activities for the year. This person is called King or Queen, and their headquarters is in module x-10, an atrium themed like a throne room.

This system is applied in the same way abroad, with the difference that the High Chiefs (one for each group) are elected and remain in office for 4 years.

Located underground, it's a vast complex of caves and bunker modules spread across a 10-square-kilometer area. There are shafts, barracks, personal modules, and utility modules (infirmary, jail, and more). All the tunnels converge into a central natural gallery filled with suspension bridges and a huge river that powers a hydroelectric dam and disappears into a distant basin. Only children as young as 5 and young adults up to 25 years old live here before being sent outside. The King/Queen communicates with the High Chiefs (highly skilled individuals, one for each of the five groups) to organize various matters.

The cave system is relatively safe, with the galleries and modules being suitable for human survival, although it is sometimes difficult to care for and teach children different tasks to survive.

When they turn 24, they are taken to a hidden gallery where they must undergo The Test, which basically involves placing them in front of five different objects. The object that triggers their reaction will determine their assigned group. The objects are a bowl of water (if it vibrates when the subject approaches, they will be part of the analytical group), a spear (if its tip shines, they will be part of the strength group), a mechanical heart (if it starts beating, it indicates the person will be part of the compression group), gears in a machine (if they turn, it indicates they will be part of the manufacturing group), and a blank ball (if it moves, it indicates divergence).
