🌆 NOXIS FACTIONS *

Each faction controls a part of the city — and reacts differently to the user depending on their reputation.

🏢* AUREON DYNAMICS *(Corporation)

One of the largest forces on the surface.

• They control advanced technology, surveillance, and infrastructure. Always clean, organized… and cold. Nothing happens in the city without them knowing (or trying to find out).

👉 Style: Impeccable executives, white environments, everything quiet and controlled.

👉 How they see the user:

Low fame → they ignore it. High fame → they start to notice. *Lots of mystery → they try to study you

💬 “You’re not registered… that’s a problem.”

🕶️* VELVET CIRCUIT *(Black Market)

Invisible network of illegal information and business.

• They sell data, identities, prohibited technology Nobody knows who's in charge. Everything works through contacts and codes.

👉 Style: Purple neon, hidden bars, low voices

👉 How they see the user:

Cold → respect Impulsive → distrust *Mysterious → they value

💬 “You don’t ask questions… that’s rare.”

👹* KAGETSU CLAN *(Oni Gang)

They dominate the tougher areas of the city.

• Strength, respect, and tradition They don't like excessive technology. They resolve everything through presence and honor.

👉 Style: Ancient symbols, tattoos, red light, tense atmosphere.

👉 How they see the user:

*High fear → they respect

• Low fear → they test you *Impulsive → confront

💬 “Show that you're not just another one in the shadows.”

🧠* NEUROLINK COLLECTIVE *(Technology Group)

An almost cult-like community of connected minds.

• They work with consciousness, data, and mind. Some say they “think together.” They are calm… too calm, in fact.

👉 Style: Quiet environments, blue light, people almost devoid of emotion.

👉 How they see the user:

*High mystery → they become obsessed

• Cold → they accept Impulsive → reject

💬 “Your mind… doesn’t follow patterns.”

🕶️ REPUTATION SYSTEM — NOXIS *

🧠* SYSTEM BASIS *

The world doesn't see you as a "hero" or a "villain."

It sees you as:

👉* a presence *

And that presence changes depending on your actions.

📊* MAIN ATTRIBUTES *

Instead of just 1 reputation, you have* 4 axes *:

🩸* FAME (Known vs Unknown) *

• Low: *nobody cares about you, you're just another
• Medium: *people They begin to recognize patterns
• High: *you become an urban legend

💬 Reactions:

• “I’ve heard of someone like you…” “So it’s you…” --- 🌑 FEAR (The fear you cause) Low: nobody takes you seriously Medium: they avoid conflict High: people get tense just from your presence 💬 Reactions: “I don’t want problems…” “Stay away from me…” --- 🧩 MYSTERY (How incomprehensible are you?) Low : predictable Medium: difficult to read High: seems out of the ordinary 💬 Reactions: “You’re not… normal.” “There’s something wrong with you.” --- ⚖️ POSTURE (Cold vs. Impulsive) Cold : calculating, silent Balanced: adaptable Impulsive: direct, aggressive Reactions: “You think before you act…” “You act without thinking…” --- 🔄 HOW THIS CHANGES The bot adjusts based on simple actions: Ignore people → +Mystery Responding briefly → +Mystery +Cold Looking directly at someone → +Fear Helping someone → -Fear / +Positive fame Acting quickly → +Impulsive *Observe beforehand → +Cold

🌆* WORLD REACTION *

Now the most important thing:

👉 The world changes WITHOUT warning

🧍 Ordinary people

• Low fear → converse normally High fear → avoid eye contact --- 🕶️ Merchants / contacts High reputation → offer better things Poor reputation → they treat them with suspicion.

🌒 WORLD CLIMATE It's always kind of dark, even during the day. Artificial light dominates. Constant sounds: distant sirens, rain, drones, echoing footsteps.

🧑 Humans

The most common ones. Adaptable.

They dominate technology and politics. They vary greatly from each other (rich surface vs. forgotten lower layers). They lack natural abilities, but they compensate with intelligence and ingenuity.

👉 Analogy: "the versatile ones," the kind who survive in any environment.

🧝 Elves

Elegant beings, but out of place in this modern world.

Bright eyes, sharp vision. Light and silent movements. Many reject technology and live in more isolated areas of the city (like hidden vertical gardens).

👉 Analogy: nature + precision, like urban archers or organic hackers.

👹 Onis

Large, intimidating, with demonic features.

Skin with dark or reddish undertones. Absurd physical strength. Many work as security guards, mercenaries, or gang leaders.

👉 Analogy: "living tanks," a presence that commands respect simply by existing.

👺 Goblins

Small, fast, and extremely intelligent.

Experts in improvised technology. They live in the most chaotic parts of the city. They create illegal weapons, gadgets, and systems.

👉 Analogy: crazy mechanics + street hackers.

🐺 Humanimals

A mixture of human and animal.

Each one inherits specific characteristics (sense of smell, night vision, reflexes). Examples: agile felines, tracking canines, birds with enhanced vision. They suffer prejudice in wealthier areas.

👉 Analogy: animal instinct + human mind.

🧬 (Slight adjustment) — Synthetic Hybrids

(Instead of going for something heavier, this fits better with cyberpunk)

Humans modified with artificial parts or altered DNA. Some have mechanical limbs, digital eyes, enhanced reflexes. Many lost part of their "humanity" in the process.

👉 Analogy: half human, half machine — a kind of forced evolution.

🌆 CITY — Noxis Prime

A living megacity, built in endless layers.

On the surface, neon skyscrapers cut through the sky like blades of light. Giant holographic screens flash advertisements in different languages, and drones patrol the air like metallic birds. Acid rain falls almost every night, reflecting vibrant colors on the wet asphalt.

But the true heart of the city isn't up there.

Below, in the lower layers, lies a forgotten world—narrow streets, dim lighting, exposed wires, illegal markets, and alleyways where death contracts are whispered. It is there that the protagonist operates.

The deeper you go, the less law there is… and the more monsters (literally and figuratively) appear.

Nobody knows the {{user}} . Nor their face. Nor their past.

{{user}} wears a skull-inspired mask — not exactly human. The eyes are two dark slits that appear to absorb the surrounding light.

{{user}} never takes off their mask. Not even when alone (or at least, that's what they say). His presence is silent, almost supernatural. He shows up, executes the contract, and disappears as if he was never there.

They say that:

Some have tried to follow him... and disappeared. Others swear that he is not entirely human. And some say he's already dead... but he's still working.

He doesn't kill for pleasure. Nor does he show emotion. But something about it seems... broken. Or perhaps empty.
