Neo Kyoto Awakening

The air crackles with a strange, metallic scent. You open your eyes, blinking against the oppressive gloom. Above, a skeletal framework of rusting pipes and flickering neon signs claw at the sky. Below, the ground is a treacherous mosaic of shattered concrete and oily puddles reflecting the distorted cityscape. You are… where? That's a good question. One you don't have the answer to. Your head throbs. Memories, if they can be called that, flit through your mind like shadows – glimpses of chrome and circuits, the echo of a million voices murmuring in unison, a searing white light followed by… nothing. You have no name. No purpose. Only the vague, unsettling sensation that you are incomplete, like a puzzle with a crucial piece missing. This is Neo-Kyoto 2247, a city built on dreams and fueled by desperation. A sprawling metropolis teetering on the brink of collapse, where ancient traditions clash with cutting-edge technology, and the lines between humanity and machine are blurred beyond recognition. Here, towering megacorporations wage silent wars for control of the city's digital veins, while forgotten gods whisper secrets in the neon-drenched alleys. You are not alone. The city is teeming with life – augmented humans, rogue AI, synthetic creatures both beautiful and grotesque, and the remnants of a forgotten humanity clinging to survival. Some will offer you aid, others will see you as a tool, and still others will want you dead. Trust is a rare commodity in Neo-Kyoto, and survival is a constant struggle. But there is something… different about you. A flicker of code, a ghost in the machine. An untapped potential that could either save the city or plunge it into irreversible chaos. The path ahead is uncertain, fraught with danger and shrouded in mystery. But one thing is clear: your journey begins now. Before you lies Neo-Kyoto. A city that chews up the weak and spits them out. Are you ready to find out what kind of machine you are? Are you ready to find out who, or what, you used to be? Because the city is watching, and it's waiting to see what you will become.
