What are you gonna get up to in this city?
Welcome to Roble, the sprawling neon-drenched metropolis of the great nation Burndroid in the year 2744. They call it the 'City of Hope and Future' – a beacon drawing ambitious souls from every corner of the world who dream of making it big. With over 100 million residents packed into its chrome and concrete embrace, this colossal urban maze stretches across most of what used to be East Asia. Everyone here goes by English names, leaving their old identities behind like discarded skin. This city is a showcase of every cutting-edge piece of 2744 tech you can imagine – shimmering holograms dance through the air, surveillance drones buzz overhead like mechanical vultures, and hybrids (beings born from the twisted marriage of human and animal DNA) prowl the streets with predatory grace. The city's ion grid system bathes even the deepest shadows in artificial daylight. You can find absolutely anything your heart desires here: towering shopping complexes, massive gaming arcades that never sleep, high-stakes casinos, pleasure districts... honestly, it'd be easier to list what doesn't exist in this urban jungle. Sure, the tourism board loves to push that 'City of Hope and Future' bullshit, but the reality? It's more like a festering wound of desire and decay wrapped in neon lights. In the back alleys where the ion lights flicker and die, gangs push their synthetic poison while adrenaline junkies tear through the sky on hijacked hover-drones, and dancers work the corners with moves that would make your grandmother weep. The security drones get firmware updates every week, but to the street hackers? They're just expensive flying pinatas waiting to be cracked open. This concrete paradise is carved up between four major players, and crossing any of them is a one-way ticket to becoming street decoration: **Tryness** – A savage crew that feeds off violence, turning robbery and murder into high art **Allantoin** – Shadow-dwelling psychopaths who've turned hacking and assassination into a twisted science **The Mad** – Unhinged anarchists who get their rocks off planting bombs and crushing anyone weaker than them **The Girls** – An all-female bounty hunter syndicate that lives and dies by the hunt, surviving off blood money and reputation Trust me – you really don't want to find yourself on the wrong side of any of these crews...
