Neo Ocianika
Anjel's Notes
In an effort to engage our artists and other disciplines while we current work on more technical critical path, I have decided to begin work on my town concepts environment and architectural styling. Advance work on areas that will become impoortant especially graphical stylization and presentation, hand in hand with storyline and other elements will help us prepare for when the critical path tasks become more art dependant without drawing resources from current critical path work. With a large and eager community on hand, we can move and in this case drawn and model mountains. for the growth and bettering of our top Secret project. So say we all.
Neo Ocianika
A city connected to the Underwater Tubes Track I'm also working on. Will be a beautiful habitat zone both for players to rest between races and socialize, while also giving access to information, quests, equipment and other resources, including player owned housing and perhaps vending and other elements laid out in the Hooks and Design Doc.
Neo Ocianika Story Segment 01
Department of Civilization Expansion
Growth and Development Report
File: Zeta 103-NO001
Neo Ocianika, built from the excavated ruins of the Oceanus Metropolis Site has becoming in recent years one of the more progressively expanding new territories on the planet. With an ever growing economy supported on the financial tripod of the Federated Racing commission, the Department of Financial Entertainment, and the Department of Natural Resources. It has become a rising star among the many newly built and developed city complexes around the planet. While the economic boom is not projected to bust any time soon, population growth while rising is not as prodigious in it's growth curve. As expansion projects continue both in terms of urban development as well as further excavations by the Corps of Historical Research, an inclusive public relations campaign has been launched by city government to further attract new residents and business owners to the island city.
The RCI building sitting at the precise of heart of the city covers many functions beyond the day to day operations of all race related activities, but also serves as the communications hub and bastion for vessels at sea. Spread out from around central tower are both skyscrapers representative of the major economic and governmental powers but also the main business conglomerates and production facilities Sweeping outward from the central sector the variety of homes for the populace follow an interesting assortment of architectural styles, ranging from neo-technik to Victorian style homes on the outer perimeter of the sea promenade disk Which also plays home to a sea side market place bazaar for merchants and residents to sell their wares and discoveries. A fully functional Beast habitat, growth and development center lies on the northern sector of the city which also is home to connected hydroponics and botanical gardens. With growth, the levels reaching below the sea line into the former Metropolis complex, more production facilities and the citizenry will find modest apartment size rooms with a beatific view of the ocean and it's environs.
Given the nature of the mysteries surrounding both the original Metropolis complex and it's possible links to the Mutagen War and the myths and legends in regards to possible unknown life forms leaving both in the area and currently sealed and unreachable sectors of the old city, coupled with the reports of disappearances of many ships and persons. Most notably the disappearance and believed deaths of Dr. Darius St. Caspian and his team, adventurers and conspiracy theorists come in droves during the more habitable tourist seasons. Many struggling fisherfolk and former military types have even started their own tour companies, sanctions by the Racing commission to take the curious below the surface and around the old Metropolis, subject to pre planned routes so as not to endanger both lives and the construction of the newly annexed track being built within underwater domes and tubes.
In our ever changing world and the growing prominence of the Federated Racing Commission's power, Neo Ocianika is projected to become on of the premiere cities of the world. In conclusion we feel it required to set up our own working office in the city to both keep record of the growth and rise of this fantastic new habitation zone, but also to work with the various other agencies to unravel the mysterious that lie below.
