Introduction

Imagine living in a world underground. Generations ago the moved from the open skies into the subterranean. You don't know how life has been before - no one knows. And in this world, your world, you find a brochure, written on simple paper with some blue ink.

To all \\\enfants de soleil\\\
Let us leave this sky of steel to see the wonders of an azure sky. Let us leave this world of ours that keeps us barred like criminal prisoners, to return to our old home above the ground, beneath the warming sun. Know we will never return once we started down that path for there will be no welcome for us one we have seen the living world out there. Follow the desire to smell fresh air and see the blue sky of our ancestors into the violet cloud and meet there in the forest of old.
A dreamer

The cloud is a famous club called \\\Nube\\\, known for it violet walls and the small, private rooms named after places above the steel sky. Soon they will dare the unspeakable: Try to leave the underground world for their desire to see the sun the first time in their life.


You can be a member of the senza sogni, the small group planning to leave behind all they now, or a regent. The senza sogni want to get all of the six ID-cards while the regents guard them. Do they plan to get some of the regents on their side or do they plan to rob, steal and blackmail? And what are the regents going to do if they find out?

Eden

The city beneath a steel sky is the home of three million citizens of different species and is parted into seven sections, the first section being the apartment section and is closest to the planet's core.
The other six floors are only accessible with ID cards owned only by employees of one of the six great companies, ruling over Eden.
Eden is in the year 4032 and has exited for 5000 years. Every data concerning the first 1000 years were destroyed by the companies, the reason no one knows what is the difference between a life underground and under the blue sky.
It is only known that humanity was almost extincted by an atomic war and the survivors fled beneath the earth, keeping the radiation out with giant structures of steel.

"Flug" - the gateway to heaven

In the center of the seventh floor a robust gate is guarding the entrance to an elevator, leading up into the sky. The gate is only accessible with the ID cards of all of the current regents, however the hare more than unwilling to give the cards to anyone, not even their colleagues.

Regent's charade

The six regents are the reps of the six companies, but not necessarily the CEOs, who appoint the regents.
Their duty is, apart from working for the company, to guard their ID cards and had to work hard to get into the position they are now.

OOC Notes

# Eden, 2010-09-25 00:05:45, as written by jazzanah
Crystal waded through the crowded streets of the first floor of the underground city, quickly. She couldn't afford to be late to a meeting as important as this. Her route brought her to a door hidden in an alleyway, out of sight. Everything in Eden was so closely controlled, the club couldn't afford the Regents to discover their meeting place. The guard at the door notice Crystal, nodded, and opened the door. She was late already. It wasn't helping the reputation she already had, being a human.
Inside the senza sogni were assembled on black velvet couches, the light was dim and tobacco smoke was thick in the air. Once Crystal thrust the door open the conversation ceased. All eyes turned on her.
"Do you have the brochure, human?" One of the men, seated on one of the central couches, addressed her. He was a Hybrid, and considered himself to be quite something.
Crystal reached into the pockets of the jacket and held it out. The man snatched it from her hand. "Very well. Let the meeting begin."
