this is so fucking camp im obsessed with it
Founded as a simple city in the 1980s after two sisters, Calista Caligula and Amaryllis Caligula, both CEOS of a very powerful architecture and wellbeing firm, became tired of their normal city life and how the government didn't serve the people correctly-putting their monetary gain BEFORE citizens wellbeing. They moved out to a very uninhabited, empty small continent in the Northern Hemisphere, buying the whole thing and setting up roots. Caligula, the main city of this continent which they now call Aranthe. It was founded on three principles.
1. ACCEPTANCE.
Rights for anyone to be anything and everything they want. Accepting other citizens as they are, no matter what they wear or what their opinions are-of course, to a point. To be open and inviting to anyone, regardless. This will ensure Caligula to be a kind and uplifting environment for ALL people.
2. ABILITY.
Caligulans should all be allowed equal opportunities-no matter their social status, job title, or monetary income. But, this should not be to take away from others hard work and effort towards the Utopia, and there should still be rewards for such things.
3. AUTHENTICITY.
Caligula should be a city for the people, so there should be a continuous goal to create this feeling. An authentic city, an authentic community, is what us Caligulans strive for, whether one lives above or underground should not matter. Even the CEOS which one looks up to should be authentic, and very down to earth. No matter what TV screen one is looking into, or what radio they are listening through.
After roughly 10 years of building up the city, Caligula had become a great success. Not only had very prolific artists and scientists from around the world come to bask in the rays of utopian success, they all pitched in in the creation of the ever growing amount of new technologies, buildings, and much more. Caligula continues to be amazing.
The year is somewhere in between 2200 and 2250. It is the future, yes, but it is not the future one would presume. Caligula is in a very mild climate, warm more often than not. It does not get snow here, but it does rain the odd day or two. The city is a long drive from the actual beach (but they have a stimulated beach environment underground in Anthea). There are surrounding cities, and many people do travel here for its sights and sounds. Many do not want to go back. It's known as the best of the best utopia and city wise, which is why so many people strive to get in.
map of Aboveground Caligula.
Caligula, at its simplest level, has two sectors.
THE ABOVEGROUND SECTOR, is the much larger, more expansive and populated area. It is the main city, and is where 80% of the Caligula population lives. Therefore it tends to be the main hub of activity, with all the business and most of the headlining Caligulan events happening above. And, like the name says, this sector is completely aboveground. It basks in real sunlight, and real environments, unlike the stimulated ones that the underground strives to create.
All of the CEOs, and large hubs of activity are here.
Meanwhile, the UNDERGROUND SECTOR is a large, interconnected 'mall' of different, hugely underground sectors of activity. Each sector serves to provide a different use: from partying to a more chill retreat and artsy underground area, the Underground is a beautiful place as well-just with different, darker aesthetics (More information about the wings can be found in the underground roleplay categories in server, as well as our info document). Not many people actually live here, as the majority of people that work or come down during the day/night live aboveground. The people who do live underground are very intertwined and keep together as a tight group, but they also do come above ground every once in a while. The underground is not only a vacation destination or a retreat for some, it is also a place to let loose. A weekend getaway, a cool shopping trip, finding a deal, even? It makes things fun. Alongside this, the underground hosts some sick car races throughout its wings every few weeks, and it is heavily televised above AND underground. Even the CEOS have favourite racers, and like to bet on who's going to win next.
Caligula is a fully SFW human art/roleplay situated in a supposed utopia. It's inspired heavily by vaporwave and its subgenres, avant garde fashion, retro futurism, dead malls, and the 80s!

Anyone at any level of art/rp is allowed, and we host a continuous storyline every summer, as well as small things throughout the year (depending on everyones availability)! We are very casual and do not require a lot of activity to participate in the server, but do have chances for characters to be involved in events, plot happenings, and the like if this is something you'd be interested in! We have been active for around a year and a bit now, and are still looking to grow. Currently our server is open for everyone, and you do not have to have an OC in mind when joining-you can develop it in server, or just hang around and check us out.
