THE NEW CITY - Now OPEN!
From across a multiverse of endless possibilities, you were chosen. Whether by sheer chance or the influence of some greater force, you arrive in an arid wasteland, the only remaining bastion of humanity’s efforts being the city of New Aurora, a place corrupt to its very core and arguably just as inhospitable as the wastes which lie beyond the city’s walls.
In these new lands, it matters not who you are or where you’re from– only what you’re capable of. Just like all the rest who enter the city seeking refuge, supplies, answers, revenge, or whatever else may be driving you there, you are taken in for evaluation- perhaps not immediately, but everyone gets found out in due time.
Endless questions are asked of you in a bland white room, and even if you try, you just can’t seem to slip past. No matter how you answer the result is the same- you are given an ID and sent along your way, silent judgment passed with or without your knowledge.
The only thing that matters in The New City is how useful you are to the Mayor. Will you be invited to join the elites in controlling the city, or will you be cast aside like trash? Will you oppose the system, or take part in the corruption? Will you stay in the corrupt but safe city, or live your best life in the desolate but free wastes?
Only one way to find out..

The New City is an 18+ RP Discord server accepting original characters, canon characters, and whatever else may lie in between. The setting is a dystopian city surrounded by an arid wasteland, wherein the player characters can interact with other players or NPCs within existing locations or create their own places– or even take over the places belonging to current NPCs. Players are encouraged to create their own residences and shops and interact with others to forge a niche in the city in which their character can play a part in the setting itself.
Be it joining the Mayor’s forces, running a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, becoming a politician, or forsaking the city altogether and scavenging in the wastelands, everyone must find a way to be useful to someone, even just themselves, in these parts..
If they want to survive, that is. Or, maybe you will be the one to change things, to find a new way.
And now, an ad-no, tour break, sponsored by your neighborhood peacekeepers, V.I.G.I.L!
“The wasteland is only the first layer in this ugly, dirty cake. For as far as you can see, there was a whole lotta nothing to take in. Dry land, dust storms, the occasional armored vehicle, or poorly constructed camps.. Even life in the wastes was dictated by the city’s presence; without the looming concrete walls and their border guards threatening to shoot any mutant to show its face, or the water source they fiercely protect from misuse, mutants, and refuse, life outside the walls would be tough, if possible at all!
Well, unless you get in with the wasteland Marauders: a lovely faction of maniacs inhabiting the shanty town of Oasis, which is nothing but a speck on the horizon compared to New Aurora.
We don't recommend that.
“As you walk through the heavy metal door, the only entrance to the city, you're greeted by the realization that maybe the city isn't as great as it seems. Trash crunching underfoot as you walk, you try to spot a building that wasn't half-deconstructed, but after two minutes of being blinded by the sunlight reflected off the poor sheet metal repairs that seem to be present on all the buildings, you have to look down. Across the streets, dirty faces give you even dirtier looks. You can catch a glimpse of some kind of deal going on in what seems like every alley, but you choose not to look any closer, for your sake.
It will be quite a bit of walking before you reach the Inner City gate. Why not take a car? Oh yeah, all the vehicles lining the street have been picked clean, leaving the chassis empty and rusty. Not like the potholy roads could handle a car, anyway.
You stop to take a break at the only well-kept establishment, the Cozy Cat's Cradle. A whole ragtag family of feline friends scurry about, chatting and serving coffee. A large man stands at the entrance- even with his piercing gaze, watching for hostility, he was smiling. You ask the fur-legged cat on the counter where to go, and you get a meow in response. Very helpful.
“No worries though, because the agents were already on their way to get you. VIGIL waits at the door for you, and you are stopped as you try to leave. One look, and they know you're new. You receive a free escort to the Inner City gate, and a ticket through the checkpoint. The VIGIL agents walk you down the paved streets- in stark contrast to the dusty dirt roads of the Outer City, these roads were shiny and black, with neon street lamps lining the sidewalk- not a single one was out. Neon signs hung above the sidewalk, and looming skyscrapers blocked the sun. You now know where the tax money goes.
Cars pass by, all sleek and colorful. Pedestrians pass you by with disdainful looks, many followed by robotic servants or domestic mutants in chains. You can't help but stare- faces plated in metal, glowing eyes, shiny chrome limbs- the humans here are barely so anymore.
Soon, you arrive at the Mayor's agency- nothing but a short concrete building, the heavy black door leading down into a long corridor. If not for the dim blue lighting, you would never find your way around, surrounded by dark concrete. Eventually, you reach a lobby, fit with magazines and fish in aquariums. You're sent into a back room, where god knows what happens..
“So many questions..
“But Now, you have an ID– You are now a proud citizen of New Aurora. Good luck to you, because that's all you're given before you're tossed back out to fend for yourself.”
