Overview

Will get these mental gears going again at some point. Not enough of an expert to give much input on it. Want to hopefully let Gard and Dreams any input if they want too as well. Though yeah, I like that image. May think up a bit about Ryoko’s mom and/or some of the other ladies there who may eventually be occasional side characters (place they work will be easy enough, just taking the place from one of my other, inactive, clubs and maybe adjusting it a little).

From the image, yeah that works to me.

Yeah, I can see the style. I just realized "VA-11 Hall-A" is basically this anyway. It's a game I played which I really enjoyed so yeah. It works too in the sense that "dark city" is a theme that Emiko knows but it's a world she completely ignores about. The confusion is real as she might be pursued by those she escaped from. Or at least some bounty.

Hmm...I would say it is half dark and half lighter. Some parts would be covered in neon signs/lights and large buildings would have extremely bright lights on. I believe places like the district that The Garden are in would probably be on the darker side. Possibly because of less maintenance with lights and such where the only lights are in/on the buildings.

So more like Alita battle angel. (Previously known as Gunnm). I know it's more of a reference to Cyberpunk itself but I only really know Gunnm and etc more.

It is a good question, others can give their thoughts on. The genre tends to lean to the darker side, and probably at least parts of the city are. But have to figure out exactly how much it applies to the entire city or not.

Also, I went a bit dumb with a character idea of mine (based on some older character). She is... uh... special. Well, anyway. Just a test. It should work with the setting but hard to say how well it will work with the theme. Feel free to say opinions. It's the usual wtf character sheets of mine going far and deep with stories that feel unusual. So... Yeah.

https://e-shuushuu.net/images/2011-05-11-402616.jpeg Name: Emiko (Adult Form) Age: 18 Sex: Female. (Robot/AI(?)) Seeking: Unknown. Characteristics: Her body is marked with battle scars which she hides with her maid uniform, rarely showing them to anybody. While she looks innocent in appearance and barely speaks a word, she is a merciless fighter capable of using many weapons from a sword, a gun, a flail or even a minigun type weapon stored with nanotechnology. Her strength is also deceptively higher than any normal person's, making her an opponent not to underestimate. General Info: Emiko, originally a character program in a virtual world, was transferred into a real-life recreation of herself. The ones behind it hoped to achieve the goal of making an ultimate fighter but they failed to take into account her own personal goals, leading to her escaping the facilities easily but finding herself lost in a world that was not hers. Carrying a replica of her teddy bear from the other "world" on her back, she seeks to find her lost sister. Favorites: Unknown. Consent: [Warning. Unit may present hostility upon attempt to infringe on her personal space. May show trust toward people treating her properly. Caution is advised regarding the target. Bounty for capture.]

I just want to know for sure but is this the kind of city this place is about or darker and more dystopian? (I found this purely by randomness, btw.)

Yeah! I think that sounds good. Could also have a market district...thought that would probably need more people to not be like "Oh hey!....I saw you yesterday at the club-"

Did not have a chance to think of a lot yet, but going back to this, will have to see exactly how much we split them up, though yeah I could see sections like that existing. More specific places like homes, the whorehouse Ryoko grew up in or the idol agency Dai works at could show up from time to time too, among other places. It kind of feels right to keep things focused on the club, but exploring other places helps establish the setting more, give characters a chance to do things when they are not there and just widen the story/character opportunities a bit more.

It'll be fun to see stuff expand out beyond the nightclub.

Yeah, a few others appear to busy with things. Will see what I can do about the quiet though. Had not got much thought on the setting yet, but will see about getting a few replies in elsewhere and see if that gets gears going. Still might get some thoughts in here tonight.

I'm glad you think so. Mao, in this case, is just a machine. Her eyes are closed but they're definitely yellow/golden-ish. She can probably connect to other systems. I checked a few robot images because I run out of options. (Or I'm just bad at making decisions.) but I thought it was one good idea. I'm surprised by how quiet ED is, though.

Yeah! You can definitely do that! They look cute!

I roamed the cyberpunk theme, found cybernetics tag with more results. Still searching but kinda wondering if I could just use a literal AI or robot because future. https://static1.e621.net/data/1a/b6/1ab6290b2b77f1dd5496d3c5dc3e8aa5.png Yes, this is a robot version of Mao, for those who know the character I use. Just an idea, still looking.

It do be like that....

Not exactly. I dunno want I want to do right yet. Just roaming around from times to times. (Not even sure of what I want these days, to be honest...)

Ohhh- I get ya. Well, got any questions about the club that you need answered?

I meant, since everyone is touchy anyway. Don't wanna ruin anyone's fun. Especially as I'm not even sure what this is about. (I don't exactly follow things)

Hm? How would that go against the theme? We got two people doing a whole stakeout while getting touchy.... If you wanna do lovey-dovey shiz then just find somebody with similar wants~ I am sure you'll find quite a few people who will gladly indulge you~

Well, issues remain that I am more of a yuri writer so this might not involve quite a lot of things going on. And I wouldn't want to go against the club's theme.

We will always welcome you with open arms! ....... And loose flies~

Me still wondering if I should include my characters (Furry or whatever) in this club or not. Bastet still needs to find a place somewhere. But not sure...

Also, I will gladly give some input on further branching out! One to start would be a possible residential area? Maybe multiple? -Downtown(Could be the poorer parts of town) -Gold District(Could be where the richer folk live!) Ya dig?
