New Districts Idea - Entertainment and Wasteland

sabre

What? No Red Light District?

(I kidd, I kidd)

Sprinx

WOW!

Wasn't able to read through everything thing there but great Ideas, well thought out and planned. I'd really like to see that implemented into the game at some point, or at least have them use a few of the ideas.

Ingus

It's very well thought out and it would be nice to see parts of downtown or a new district thats has lights like Las Vegas or New York Times Square lets and blue pills everywhere would be cool.

Hello,
I'm one of the admins / site content managers The Matrix @ Rumbaar. The person who started this thread started to post the rest of what he is working on and had asked that someone post it in here.

So .. Rarebit a person messege to you on this one. PLEASE PLEASE OH PLEASE.... !!!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE .... maybe I didn't ask nice enough.

Rarebit, Please can we have something like this, PLEASE. ... PLEASE !!! Sorry I digress. Back to the main topic.

Hello. I think most of you remember me as Darrius.

Why and how I dissapeared from MXO well, its complicated and I shall tell this thread for another day.

I remember I had lots of unfinished threads back when I could post. One of them was about an idea for a district called "The Entertainment District". Well, saddly I cannot post in the original thread to finish it, however I still have tons of info left over to post about.

I will finish the idea here.

Some of this info will be from the old post, but there will be much more new info this time around. I have location artwork, maps, skill charts and missions.

I hope you enjoy:

::ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT::

If you go up North East from Downtown, you will hit this huge chunk of the MegaCity before you are even near International. Filled with lights, loud sounds, expensive food, and a whole lot of additued, this is a part of town that never sleeps. If a person can afford it, the adverage worker in Downtown would love to vacation there only to return broke. Some believe this was built as an adiction to keep humans more worried about their false life then the appearnet reality of the Matrix.

This was once off-limits to Zion due to its elusive nature, the Machines have lots of control there and only the most powerful Exiles run rampent in the streets. Still, as the plot thickens with in the Matrix, even off-zones are battlegrounds for the upcomming strugles ahead.

Be warned though, the Etnertainment District is like a venus flytrap with a love in a hookers eye. While it dose contain treastures and crucial information, it it both hevaly guarded by the Major Arcana and it is a very dangerous teritory.

.::Nastratin::.

Redpills who get off of the Blue Line will first stop at this desolate town, wich is one of the Smallest Parts of the Entertainment District similar to Zia in size. This has the familiar dressings of an adverage town; small apartments, bakeries, strip malls and more. However, due to the nature of the district, it has been very influenced by all the Hollywood Hoopla around it. Two Dollor movie shops are open 24/7, a numorus amout of people living in the town are small time actors, directors and screenwrighters who work in other parts of the district. What was once a nice little town, the reccent introduction of an uproaring gang-violence has left the area looking like a light version of the Barrens if anything.

Hardlines :: NW, SE

:..>The Fool

You have to understand that in the Entertainment District there are many people and programs who like to employ other Red Pills for work. One such group is a local club of groupies known as the Major Arcana. They are all named appropriate to what there job is in the city and know each other to a degree more or less.

The Fool is a new program that is the remain of a core codec in a much larger routing program. After it's intital crash, it started to cause major problems within the Power Plant core, inreggulating too much or too little energy to the fedus "crops" causing them to malfunction. Marked for deletion, the fragmented program excaped and arived in the Matrix via the Merovingian, only to betray him and hide out on his own.

The Fool, just like the rest of his exile gang, is highly dangerous and sports a twisted sence of humor. He takes all facets of life as a joke no matter how unsettling they seam or how it affects peoplea around them. Due to his glitched nature, he naturaly hates everybody but himself and enjoys pulling pranks and torturing them, causing problems for the Matrix, Exiles, and Zion alike. He deeply hates the Oracle and will take every chance he gets to ruin her image.

:..>The Jokers Child

Level 26 -- (Joke ^, Gag ^^)

Level 28 -- (Prankster ^^, Knock-Knock ^^, Harliquin ^^^)

Level 30 -- (Clownboy ^^, Running-Gag ^^, Aristocrat ^^^)

Gang Boss Level 31 "Pennywise" ^^^

These are the digital reprisentations of the sub-routines that The Fool use to be apart off...atleast the leders are. Most of the gang are hired from the discruntled youth and teenagers of that area, taking out there angst on socity and fully buying the anarchy proproganda put out by The Fool and his sub-routiens. They love hotwireing cars, lighting bags of poo on fire, defaceing property, womenising, and enguaging in brutal fights with people they deam lower than themselfs. They are most identafyable by wearing a mask of a demonic clown and wearing thick, black trenchcoats that hide firearms. There leader is named "Pennywise", and is also the most psychotic of the sub-routines.

:.>Skomorokh - An outcast of Jokers Child who wants to be reformed in her life of wrongdoing. She will give you BoBo's Lamient (Disquse Mask +15 Combat Evasion, +10 Healing) if you give her 14 Harliquin Cards from the Chokers Child.

:..>Two-Thumbs Theater - A place of entertiantment accross from town, this is the bigges $2 movie theater and is also the most visualy runned down. Two of the projection theaters have coustomers, but one is virtualy empty and is often a place were fights are held on stange or erotic acts go on behind the sceens. There is no security around the area besides the various Joker's Child sprinkled around town.

:..>Keystone Park - This is were the SW Hardline in located and is one of the few places were the Joker's Child do not lauder around. Various locals will give you usefull tips if you talk to them and various movie posters old and new are strown about. In the far end of the park is a bronz statue of Unckle Dun Kim, who was a frequent town resident and suposidly died of a heart attack. However, apon closer study, it turns out that this is a statue of The Keymaker, erected by the Matrix for some unknown reason for helping all the pervious Ones' enter the Source ending with Neo. Unfortunatly, it has surcummed to frequent pranks by the Joker's Child, sporting a flower neckless, boxer shorts on the statues head, and random graffiti sprayed around its base stating various profanites.

:..The Access Node is located near a used car lot were 8 of the toughest Joker's Child guard it.

.::Vaudville::.

Just like its namesake, Vaudville is a mixed bag of shops, recording stations, news broadcasting, theater plays, and local apartment houseing. The streets are alive with fiesty locals, wi-fi hotspots for internet communication, and a coffie shop around every cornner. This place also won "Cleanest Neighborhood of the Year" award three times in a row thanks to a huge recycling and anti-drug effort, funded by "Mr. Wizard" as locals call him.

:..>Hardlines :: W, N, E

:..>The Magician

He is known to those who he trust as Mr. Wizard. A very kind and happy-go-lucky individual, The Magician has been hearald by The Sentinal as "The next Houdini" and clamed by The MegaCity Times as the best entertainer in the world by stating "Copperfeild dose not stand a chance." In reality, he is a program that works for the Machines as a debugger for highly damaged code corupting the Matrix. He is sort of a clean freak, and always speaks in grandoise terms with a striking boom from his voice. His leasure activities by preforming hacks...*ahem*..."magic" infront of Blue Pills risks his job to the Machines eye, but keeps it all under control to point out to Copertops how it is all an trick in the end and what is important is living in bliss. "Telling a secret of a trick ruins the fun" is his quote, in reality he is facinated in how the Matrix preforms tricks of its own convincing Humans to remain in the system, and hopes to fiddle around enough to find out how the system works its own brand of magic on the cortex that way.

:..>The Vile Wands

Level 30 -- (Assistant ^, Wand ^^, Presto ^^)

Level 34 -- (Abra ^, Kedabra ^^)

Level 38 -- (Alakazam ^^, Hokus ^^, Pokus ^^^)

Gang Boss Level 39 "Burton" ^^^

Dressed in top hats and wearing outlandish cloathing may make them look goofy, but doing so may wind your sorry but dead! At first apearing human, they are actualy proxies creacted by The Magician to repair the code of the town and keep all the other gangs at bay. This explains why the town looks so clean and why no fights have broken out for a long time. While decent with there fist, most will try to hack you RSI or the Matrix to take advantage of you, or Heal/Upgrade themselfs when forced into group combat situations. There leader is Burton, and is a powerfull Network Hacker, letting his lutenents do his dirty work for him.

:..>Faminn - A corupted proxie who killed his programmer and ran awway in hideing. Since the Vile Wands are strict on debugging code, they would kill him on first sight if he move away from his safehouse. Kill off 16 Vile Wands and take there White Rabbit Pins back to Faminn and he will reward you with "The Magic Touch" (Program Launcher +20 Viral Damage and +10 Concentration.)

:..>Regan Bookshop - A four floor bookstore that is the biggest Library in all of the MegaCity.

:..>Access Node is located on a cornner 20m from the W Hardline with 4 Vile Wands guarding it.

More comming later after I sleep, these are not even the interesting ones..

**McBain**

.::Tungston Bvd::.

This is another area of the district that is very vibrent, however it is more so during the day than it is a night. Strip Malls dominate each street, all emerging from the big mall centered in the east side of the neighborhood. The otherside contains a statue park that offers streetside entertainment and a little relaxsation from the other busy neighborhoods.

:..>Hardlines :: W, NE, SE

:..>The Hanged Man

Few programs make it far in there short, recycled lives or facing deletion as exiles. This program however is an exception.

While we do not know the name or names this program came under, we do have records of its past actions explaining why it chose such a way of life in the first place. It started out as protocol for a supressent program designed to premote adictions such as gambling and sex to keep Blue Pills happy in there pods. However, as its understanding of humans grew so did its thirst for knowlage, and unsatified were it was in its "life" he chose self exile. Independent and alone, he spent two cycles of the Matrix studying the various programs, humans and even The One's as they pasted through the Matrix. Eventualy, it found an interesting connection with the Source through an old hacking method requireing deep meditation. To achive this, he famously one day climed Vertigo Tower, one of the largest buildings in the MegaCity with his bear hands and no suport. He then proceeded to wrap himself in a strait jacket, jump into a nap sack, and supsend himself upsidedown on a nose made of chains from the crain above.

This gave him his current nickname "The Hanged Man". Very mysterious and gung-ho spirit, The Hanged Man is currently trying to figure out and control his newfound psychic powers in the next step of his "evolution". To do so obviously, he will need help...boy those Red Pills come in handy don`t they?

:..>The Beatniks

Level 30 -- (Bro ^, Junkie ^^, Hipster ^^^)

Level 32 -- (Mellow ^^, Holis ^^, Rainbow ^^^)

Level 34 -- (Shaman ^^, Bodhisattva ^^^)

Gang Boss Level 36 "Hoffman" ^^^

To the Machines, they are a terroist group. To Zion, they may be potental new soldures for the war. These individuals are made up of Blue Pills who have eather senced the uneaze of the Matrix by natural means or through substance abuse. They grasp the ideas of a singular force binding them and watching them, lacking only the light to wake up. They prefer to live in the Parks, a place the deam how the MegaCity should be all natural. They wear eather casual wear or little cloathing to show how everybody is equal in there mind. The leader is Hoffman and while she detest violence, she will use it if one of his Beatniks are in trouble.

The Conformist - A protocol created by an unknown Machine program who's job is to make sure that Humans fit the Matrix and the Machine's Ideals. He views the Beatniks as a threat to Blue Pill's waking up and if you give him 20 Beatpipes he will give you "The Peacemaker" (Handgun, +20 Range Damage, 2% of Pacify for 8 seconds.)

:..>Vertigo Tower - A very tall building that is still in construction being built at the top. Resembles the Vertigo Building that Niobe ran through in EtM. At the top is the crain with five searchlights pointing to The Hanged Man who can be talked to by Hyperjumping to the Tower Point below him.

:..>Harwick Plaza - A bussling plazza that is hevaly trafficted with good vendors and filled with many small parks.

:..>The Lauence Mall - This is a large, busy Mall wich basement can be accessed and is an Exile hideout for the Mallrats and there leader, Cleo.

:...>The Access Node is in on the rooftop of the second highest building to Vertigo Tower guarded by Beatniks.

.::Chapllin Heights::.

This is an upper crust area were many famous stage, theater, movie actors and producers live in high-rise apartments or privately-owned condos. Even the middle-class citicens that work in this area have big egos as if there jobs mean anything in this simulated world. It is also heavly patroled by the police and private guards to keep this area clear of gangs. Many suprises and beauty awaits for those who are willing to break faces to see it.

:..>Hardlines -- NE, Central, SW

:..>Cheena Turner AKA "The Star"

Adding to the list of the unsueal Major Arcana club is Cheena Turner. A young but strongwilled starlett, hence the name, she has struck gold staring in only 5 movies but each turned out both blockbusters in both domestic and forign markets. She has a partnership with The Network in Downtown, and his mentioning of something called "The Matrix" has sparked intrest in her. She has always wonderd what lived besides this dull-boring world, and being in so many movies about false worlds like "The Burlyman" has pushed her ideas further. However, it seems like there are some people who do not want her to know about this stuff, so she sends others to prod around finding out about this "Matrix" she is in.

:..>Talkies

Level 36 -- (Mute ^, Note ^, Tune ^^)

Level 40 -- (Echo ^^, Woofer ^^, Boomer ^^^)

Gang Boss Level 42 "Charlie" ^^^

Named after the constand chatter of there red walkie-talkies, or after the begining of sounds in movies, the Talkies are there nickname, and make a loud noise as the Chaplin Security team. Wearing dark-blue suits and wild hairstyles, they are a fighting force to be recond with and know extensive knowlage in fire arms. Be warry when you cross the Talkies, expecaly there leader Charlie.

:..>Brewster - A recent Talkies recrute who has trouble with the team making fun of him due to his short size. Ruff them up, give him 20 of there Security Badges and he will gave you the Blabbermouth (Rifle, +16 Range Tacticts, 10% cause Stagger)

:..>Club Hugo - A upper crust dance hall that plays relaitvly modern music tracks. Beautifuly decorated and always has a full house, expecaly when a new movie is being releaced!

:..>Larz Bench - A sparkling bench in a park with a statue of a scruff man typing on a keyboard. It was said to be the place were Larz Warchovic thought up the idea for the classic "The Burlyman" and then worked with his brother Arny Warchovic to make the trilogy.

:..>The Access Node is located between two lofts 30m from the SW Hardline. It is located in a parking garage and is swamped with Talkies.

More to come....

If you search for ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT on DN1, you can find the original post.

The thing is, I cannot post there anymore, so it stops after a certaint point. In this thread (and if you know any other popular MXO Forums let me know) I can finish it here, along with drawings and maps that were not in the original. Now, let me finish with the majority of the districts first so I can post those images, only 10 more to go!

.::Queensberry::.

A highly populated area surounded by Busnessmen and the people they sucker in giving up there money, Queensberry has a very contrived past and present of being a Man's district. While prostitution dose not run ramppent, escorts and strippers clubs line the streets as dose major Casinos and Boxing Matches. Many fighters and high-stakes gamblers run rampent here in hopes of hitting hard and scoreing big. Its this type of stratigy that the Machines use to keep Blue Pills happy and asleep, just were they wan't them to be.

:..>Hardlines :: NW, NE, S Central

:..>Jet "The Strength" Dempsey

A famous boxer born in Lamar and grew-up in Queensberry for the rest of his life, Jet is known to his fans and the Arcana club as simply "The Strength". Able to dent steel with just his fist, Jet has led a live of countless victories agaiced even the toughest fighters around. He was even once drafted to join the Army againced the "Red Pill Terrorist" but refused because of his suprising Pacafist nature.

However, recently he has been ordering lots of medication in his later years due to hallucinations and bad dreams. In these dreams, he meets a younger version of himself and he is shooting down a bunch of demons in hell before they rip into him. He also remembers a name of a person called Tasha, but cannot remember who that person is.

Guess he is going to find out once he starts asking for help due to his busy schedual...

:..>The Mile High Club

Level 30 -- (Black Book ^, Chip ^, Pair ^^)

Level 34 -- (Flush ^, Doubles ^^, Trump ^^^)

Level 36 -- (One Armed Bandit ^^, Ace ^^, Duce ^^^)

Gang Boss Level 37 "Moolah" ^^^

Men and Women dressed in there finest clothes, they are all part of a club that profits from prizemoney won in fights. They are fighters themselfs, although not very good at it, though most of the lesser MH members are surounded by the tougher members as security. They love fighting so much that they do not mind to get there hands dirty in order to see a good show. They participate in everything from the MegaCity Boxing Tourny to the Underground Exile Games. There leader is Moolah and is a very tough fighter with high dextarity and a quick-footed style.

:..>Ollie -- A man who has gone broke due to the swindlings of the Mile High Club and there casinos. Pay him back by collecting 18 of their "Prestine Tokens" and he will cash them in to buy him some food and you a pair of "Corbett Sluggers" (Gloves, Power Tactics +10, Melee Damage Resistence %20)

:..>The Megasseum -- A huge area that was built after the first Olimpic Games were held in 1934 and the MegaCity has hosted the games 3 time after that. It also doubles as a football, baseball, and track stadium as wells as an ampitheater for concerts. This resembles the stadium that Dan ran through in World Record.

:..>South Vauxion Paradise HQ -- This is the central building of the SVP Diet & Extersize Corp. They plan Gyms like this that people join to attempt to lose weight and build mussle. It has moved since out of South Vauxion and into Queensberry. This is a Hideout, so watch out for the Dumbbell thugs leading up to there leader, Stroganoff.

:..>Superpunch Monument -- A gorgious statue made by the Sculptress depeicting what locals believe The Strenght and rival boxer Ron Smith being punched in the face during a boxing match. Even though the statue is eroded, looking at the floor of the rink that looks like water, and the dress of the Ron Smith figure in a suit and tie, it is surmiseable that this is the Sculptress' commemoration to Neo for throwing a earth-shattering punch during the Super Burly Brawl.

:..>The Access Node is located in the Score Booth of the Megasseum, were 4 Security Guards are protecting it.

.::Bellucci De Monica::.

A long time ago this place was on the edge of the MegaCity, existing as a large town owned by the Monica Famly. Now it has been incorperated into the MegaCity itself, and is sheading its view as a "Little Italy" and more twards a place to do bussnes. Many people working in Downtown often spend lunch in this area to do more bussness and impress their superiors. Still containing remments of its past, Bellucci is still known for its beautifull vistas, luxorus hotels, and fine dinning resturaunts.

:..>Hardlines :: W, Center, SE

:..>The Moon

A large macro program existing in the Matrix, many are suprised to find out that this function has a mind of its own abit a very limited one. Her story weaves into that of the Matrix itself, for wich durring the second reload was it that her sub-routines were acidently mixed-in with various combat-routines when merging with the source. There for, it is estimated by the Dobermen exiles that she was the one that allowed them to exist and gave them their powers as they know it.

The Moon however acts as a serogate mother to the Lupines, for she resents them but still takes care that they are happy knowing how violent they can get. As such, she often needs help in keeping them under control despite it is her sub-routines that control their transformation.

Throught her existence, she has felt alone besides the Lupines, as she was one of the few programs without an coutner-program to offer suport and to help her out. However, due to the resent Reload caused by Neo, she believes that her equil has emerged and seeks out to find it.

:..>The Caravaggio's

Level 32 -- (Stroke ^, Line ^, Worshoper ^^)

Level 34 -- (Luner ^, Preist ^^, Zeliot ^^^)

Level 36 -- (Sage ^^^)

Gang Boss Level 38 "Faustulus" ^^^

A Doberman Cult so out there that Ookami is even sketchy about them, these are all exiles who believe that The Moon program is the key to the Matrix and that respecting her is the only way to stabalise the system. They offer animal sacrafices and communal moon-watchings to worship her, believing that she will protect them. While she is offten flatterd by these actions, she still thinks that they are beliving in a lost cause and should find perpiouse of their own. Still, she dose watch over them to make sure they do not bother the human population. They earned their nickname "Caravaggio's" because most of them make a living from stealing art from the museums and selling them over the black market. Their leader is "Faustulus" and is the most wize and religious of them all.

:..>Rhea Silvia -- A painter who had many of her private works ruined by the Caravaggios. She wishes you revenge by stealing 18 Anumati Brushes and she will give you the "Picasso's Maddness". (Shirt, +10 Compiling, Range Combat Tactics +8 )

:..>Hengo Telescope -- A large telescope named after Dr. Chang Hengo who found a new commet he named "Wormwood" that passes every 25 years. It is runned by five scientest, and the building ajacent to it contains research data recording from space observations via the Hengo Telescope.

:..>Le Vari -- A popular french resturaunt inhabbited by the Super Ritch in the upper towers. From there each member of socity is ranked by how high or low your floor is to the 101 floors of the entire building. The Merovingian likes to eat Brunch and do bussness there, so keep an eye out for him or one of his messangers like Flood to show up.

:..>Pitture Della Riva Museum -- An amazing water front that displays various paintings throught the ages by using a built in cannal system were the viewers get into small boats and pass by each exibit by floating through each area.

:..>The Majestic Monument -- The neighborhood's halmark beauty is an amazing large square crystal that reflects the light of the sun. This is an instrument used by The Moon to project herself inside the crystal at night so she can give out mission to Red Pills. Remember, her image dissapears in the day, so be quick to asks befor she dissapears.

**McBain** · 05/06/2007 18:35:16

.:: Praxin ::.

The most low class area of the district, treading closer to the areas leading to the International District. The outer rim were most people drive through are a collection of warehouses and shoddy love hotels. The inside parts of the district were the poor workers live is like a large maze, made up of tiny buildings and high fences. Prostitution runs rampent in the streets, making Praxin the largest Red Light District in the Mega City. Car Lots are also rampet, combiend with the free parking and no choppers makes this an ideal place to park your car while you venture into other, more happy parts of the district.

The Chariot

A greedy exile program, this indian looking man is realy a program that owns MegaCab Express, a huge public transportation venue that has cabs, buses and other vechiles in the MegaCity. With a old brown leather coat, high class shoes, a red turban and a huge ciggar in hand Chariot is a bussness man through and through. He would not even save his own mother unless there was financal benifit to come out of it, that is if he did had a Mother.

While on the surface the cab fair pays a pritty penny, its only half of his income. The other portion of his weath that he dose not put in his tax book comes from the many Brothels he owns through Praxin. May of his clients are well known individuals, both human and program, who owe him many of value through transperation of goods and "specal services" by his "girls."

The Chariot is always looking for a young do nothing who can help him run the two lucrative bussness he owns, people like you and other fellow Redpills.

Gang Boss Level 38 "Pan Jin Lian"

These are the collective names of the many prostitues that are layer through the MegaCity like a cockroach infestion. The lower rung of the gang are Bluepill girls that are homeless or out of money, the higher class ones are programs that could not find a place in the Matrix and are now using there programming tricks for activities other then what were intended. One thing is sure, these are all women in wich life delt them a bad hand.

While supervised by many Pimps, all of them are owned by Chariot and it is not uncomon to see someone use one of Chariots Taxies to drive to one of Chariots popular brothel. Knowing how the streets of MegaCity are tough, Chariot has lent them protection in the forms of guns and ability codes that make them reasonaly well in combat, and formidable in mobs.

There leader is Pan Jin Lian, a Succubis who is both a brothel owner and previous ex-prostitue of the group. She is very protective and strict about her girls and how people treat them.

Tochka -- A pimp who is a program working under Chariot. He is complaining that the women in the area are starting to slack off and they need some ruffing up to remind them who is in charge. If you can give Tochka the 17 Candy Pacifiers and Tochka will reward you with the Kisaeng (

Club Artemis -- A local YMCA turned into a Nightclub. With the lavish and skimpy dress styles, it is hard to tell the diffrence between the prostitutes and the normal female clubber attendies. It features both a Locker Room, Mess Hall, three Bathrooms and a drained Swimming Pool that has been converted into a Dance Floor.

Demimonde Lot -- A large 8 story above ground parking garrage, it is also a popular hideout for an exile troop called the Road Rats with there leader Morty at the top level.

:..>MegaCab Express -- A underground parking garrage and bussness center for the many cabs, buses and limos that run the MegaCity public transporation. This is also were The Chariot dose his bussness.

The Access Node is located on top of the Demimonde Lot parking stucture and is unguarded but requres an Access Key by The Vile Wands to activate.

.:Staenberg::.

Deep with in the MegaCity near its heart lies Staenberg, often misprinted by non locals as Stanburg. Staenberg is known in Blue Pill life as a high rise bussness district with many corperate buildings that are primaraly owned by Production companies. To Red Pills and Programs however, this is a highly dangerous zone. Every inch of this Creston Heights sized neighborhood is owned and maintained by the Machines. No exile lives here, and a awakend human like your self would not last five minute if upmost caution is not maintaned. Inside this chunk of city, many deals and strongholds lies with in the steal and glass walls. The maze like nature of Staenberg make it a highly valued spot within the Matrix for both Zion and the Machines. Be carefull.

The World

As I had said, the deeper you look into the underworkings of the Matrix, the more unusual and complex the system starts to become. Most operatives in the Matrix are use to the idea of programs being Human RSI's that they can interact with. While a comon group, these programs are in a minority of the majority of programs that actualy operate the Matrix. Thus we now come to your first meeting with a true Machine program known as The World.

The World is what Morpheus had once described to Neo what the Matrix was; everyone and no one. The World is the universal eye in the Matrix system, existing in a sub-layer of the Matrix that documents all programs and objects as it operates into the Matrix. No human has ever seen The World face to face, but most people have felt it. The World exist everywere in the Matrix, watching everyone at every moment of every second of the day. Only the Agents can see it and communicate with it, via there earpeices were The World whispers things to them when something happens with in the system.

It has seem that because of the increased problems occuring within the system, The World has started to hire normal humans to do more mundane tasks of stabalising the Matrix. Vast knowlage of the system can be learned this way, but a problem exist. Due to the nature of The World, it has to overwright a human host in order to communicate with it. Depending on the day it may be one of 7 people in 7 places within Staenberg. Once The World is located, you must beware of its nature. The World has no reguards for human life and because it sees operatives as expendable, will send them into highly dangerous situations that even Agents are not allowed to go. We advise upmost caution if you are going to ttry to work for the rewards of The World.

In the last iteration of the Matrix, Staenberg while still made out of tall buildings and inhabited by the rich, was a very crime ridden and shady neighborhood. Both normal urban crime and exile acitivty was very high within every backalies, and as a favoret Merovingian hangout was always filled with illict activity. No one dared to walk the streets at night.

People still do not walk the streets at night, but for a new reason all together. Facing pressure, the Machines organised a new military group called the Regime. Made up of mostly Blue Pills with select programs as Platoon Generals, the Regime managed to drive away the entire underground crime out of the neighborhood. They are outfited with the latest weapondary and military tech to deal even with Exiles. They are the only know group of people who actualy managed to drive the Merovingian and his crew out of the area, causing them to take Hampton Green as his main operations base.

The Regime now sits as the secret police of Staenberg, black bagging suspects and folowing any supicious individuals in the shadows. When they think they have found there target, they rush in with many men and fire as many rounds as necisary to take there target down without trial or warrent. There current leader is Sargent O'Brian.

The MegaCity scouts were born, a girlscout program that takes in lost and troubled youth and turn them into upstanding members of the community.

Most of the Scouts are just normal Blue Pills selling cookies and camping out in the parks. However, the higher rung memebers are high level programs that have converted over to this possitive endevor. They are trained in combat and handywork so that they can defent Sati or the neighborhood if it comes under attack by rival gangs. There leader is Mrs. Loww, a Red Pill in a brown bussness Scout suit that was once a disgrunted Cyphrate before switching over.

One such EPOS eperiment, called the Tower, has becme self aware of the nature of not only its programed self but that of the Matrix system as a whole.

Since the EPOS are confined to the Computer LAN station in the building, the Tower has gone undercover, rerouting covert messages to staff members that reach public eye. It is in this hope that Tower will contact someone who knows the Matrix, like yourself, and explore the boundires of the system. Even though it dose not have an RSI, simply making your way to the huge mainframe of Tower will aleart it to your presence and link up to your cellular phone were it will comunicate with you while in its service.

A long standing neighborhood starting out as a huge back lot for movie productions studios, the place evolved over time in to its own neighborhood as production and crew people thought it would be more efficent to live near the job site than commute in.

It is not an unsueual sight to see people walking around the streets to coffie shops and work offices while camramen and directors are shooting on its backlots and studios for films. The place has a very empty clean feel, making it even more of a hotspot due to the famous people that populate the area and its center hardline that makes it a mad rush to jack out if trouble comes around.

The Wheel of Fate

There are many rumors were these three women came from. Some believe they are a failed experiment in trying to recreate an intuitive program like the Oracle. Other stories say that they are the first original potentals in the Matrix and that they are still in there pods, tricking the system to let them live in stasis forever.

What ever there foggy history with the Matrix they may be, we do know a few concreet things about them. The three sisters are named Nona, Decima, and Morta. While all three have diffrent RSI's, they together project themselfs a new identity in the Matrix known as the Wheel of Fate. According to historic data from the Machines, they possess a very high level of decoding skills wich grants them such abilites as foresight, intuition, and even the ability to create or end life in the Matrix itself.

Only the brave would folow them and there endevors, trying to figure out there motives and reasons would be like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.

Many people wonder why the area of Patterson has such a low rate of crime and virtualy no police activity with in the area. Infact, the old saying is that the place is a giant berial ground and that the spirits of the dead are watching over us, playing with our lives.

While this local tall tale is obviously false, what is not false is the idea that such a tale was most likely fabricated to describe the hidden organasation called the Illuminoids. Visualy, dressed in white and red trench coats with hoods masking their faces, they look compleatly out of place in the surounding urban enviroment. However, masters of disguise and secretcy, they move around Patterson like ghosts leaving no stone unturned and not one bit of code to trace them.

Working as a mass unit, they carry out the predictions and wishes of the Wheel of Fate, obeying her like some sort of god figure. If someone needs to die for a future outcome, or if some object needs to be in a certaint place at a certaint time, they will be the ones there making sure such predictions happen. They are prepared to fight to the death for the future they believe in, so load your most powerfull abilities and guns if you are forced to cross paths with them.

It was here were he suposidly healed the sick and provided charity and missionary to the residence and natives. Setting up the churches in MegaCity, the spot were he healed the sick is suposidly were the St. Skroce Hospital is located. Dedicated to his name sake, St. Skroce is the largest hospital in the MegaCity, taking up to four normal MegaBlocks to suport all the high tech equipment and growing population. From check ups to major nural surgeries are preformed at St. Skroce with the best medical staff and highly trained doctors around. Rumor has it that paranormal activitiy has been sited here, as well as there are Machine controled sections of the complex that deal with experimentation of humans unauthorised and unethically to Zion's standards.

:..>

Aleister Asylum for the Clinicly Insane -- A recent addition next to the St. Skroce Hospital. The place shares the same employies of the MSU, however nobody wants to work there. Screams and scratching can be heard through the walls and cells of pacents echoing through the night, and many suspect that the place is actualy haunted.

:..>

The Big Iron -- A recently build club owned by Xenix, who's idea was aproved by the town to make it resemble a real neighborhood and avoid becoming a compleat hospital campus. This old storage facilty ware housed in cast iron was once used to house various medical facilites such as wheelchairs and metal splints. As such, the entire club has turned into a deep techno trance club with a medical fetish twists. Tight latex nurse uniformed vixins injecting drugs to hevaly bounded men in hospital beds are not unsual in this join.

:..>

Topps Diner -- A old resturant that use to be a venture from the old neighborhood Topps into the then town of Skroce, Topps is now known as Southhard. They are known for serving various foods, including vegan and other specalites for the rehibilitating pacents that may be under strict diets.

The Access Node is located to the extreme south east of Skroce. Located in the public east vistiors lounge, its guarded by MSU.

You will need an Access Card from the Bookwyrm, in Chelsea Downtown.

.:: Berggers Way ::.

Bergers Way is something of a rarity in the Matrix. A L-shaped portion of land surounded by Queensberry, Praxin, and Tungston Bvd; this land use to be an old community road used back during the colonical era of the MegaCity. Still trafficed but not as much due to the invention of the freeway system, Berggers Way still retains the fauna and dirt grounds the MegaCity of past Matrixies had. It is quite eazy to lose yourself in the many forested parts and low town houses, such its a good refuge spot for anything that want's to be remain hidden.

Hardlines :: W, SE

The Hermit

As you walk along the main road, you may feel that you need to stray off the path to explore. One such place is off the middle of the main road hidden in the trees, there is a crumbled down old building with no roof. Inside, if you look hard enough, you will find the Hermit.

This program remains a mystery to us even to this day. We do know through contact that The Hermit is a very philisophical yet hyper-paranoid individual. Hence why he has created a sub-construct of himself within the system, a sort of bubble. Nobody can touch him, rumors have it that even Smith could not penitrate his defences.

Because of such extream isolation, he is often stuck in the past and has little knowlage about the recent reconstructions and changes within the system. Therefore, he needs the help of anyone passing by to keep him updated on the Matrix and the system as a whole.

:..>Destitutes

Level 36 -- (Lone

, Boot

, Floater

, Drifter

, Introvert

)

The Destitutes are unusual for an Exile gang in that their membership is made up of Exiles that were either refused entrance by other gangs or simply want to be left alone. Consequently the Destitutes have no formal goals other than to protect their own turf.

Most operatives know the Destitutes from Jurong, however very little is known about this pocket in Beggers Way. Recent info sugests that these group of rejects found solitued here due to the unstable nature of the neighborhood, making it eazy to mask themselfs in. Their status as "rejects" does not make this group of Destitutes easy marks, however. In some cases they were shunned because of their unpredictable, violent, or bizarre natures.

While this group finds solitude in this zone peacefull, it may not last for very long. Due to there purpouseless nature they are percived as a threat for those who are or were part of the system. Broken they tend to call them, something that needs to be fixed like a watch. The Iluminoids who stress in faith have put up programs to chalange the nillistic nature of the Matrix. The Beatniks are also looking into the area for new hiding spots and they are fearful of detection by Agents, causing them to believe that redpills will bring unwanted attention to their domain.

Nurotic and paranoid, do not cross paths with this group of Destitutes, they are not like there push overs in Jurong.

:.>

Pope Bill -- A representative of the Illuminoids from Patterson, Pope Bill is known for his extream points of view and his excentric nature. Speaking in a big booming voice and using big words, he preaches to the Destitutes to force them back to working for the system and most likely the Illuminoids themself. He will also benifit anyone who helps premote his preachings, and if you manage to give him 14 Still Compasses he will reward you with his Rawhides (

Boots, Evade Interlock +10, Off-Balanced Resistance +15).

:..>

The Way - A nick name for the namesake of this nighborhood, The Way is the old path through the lightly forested area that connects Praxin and Downtown to Sunrise Bvd and the rest of Entertainment. Up untill 10 years ago, the wide roadway use to be a dirt path but now has recently be paived as per the MegaDMV standards for drivability. This path through the MegaCity has always been used as a rout back when natives roamed the land to modern times.

:..>

Bergger Woodlands -- A lightly forested area surounding The Way. The Woodlands are coverd with trees, rocks, hills and pently of walking space. The thick brush makes it eazy to stay hidden, however it is also eazy to get lost if you do not know your way. Programs and Redpills alike like to Data Mine here due to the unstaible nature of this zone.

:..>

Project Greenhouse -- A tall four story building near the upper boarder of Queensberry. It is mostly made up glass with various fauna growning inside as part of a new "Need for Green" policy of the MegaCity.

:..>

Trinity Tree -- A very tall tree that has been raised up and put on a platform of dirt, the Trinity tree is one of the largest and oldest trees in the MegaCity. The wood is known to be a very deep brown, almost black and color. Rumor has it that if you look verticaly at the grooves of the bark you can make out words and shapes that tell you your fortune.

:..>

The Shore -- A small town area that extends from the forest, all the houses face Commodore Cove and are tightly packed into each other in a row, like a can of sardines. People like to fish here and take pictures of the cove. There is also a thriving market here, and a famous past time of young locals is to send messages in bottles across the cove. Near the East end of the cove, there is a large gate were you can walk down to a clifside were boats would normaly dock in. Because of the extensive Mass Transit and Freeway system however, boat docking is not as common as it use to be.

:..>

The Access Node is located at the North East corner of Berggers Way.

You will need an Access Card from the Beatniks in Tungston Bvd.

.::Elohim::.

Suicide. That is the only word in human lanaguage that comes close enough to describe what is it like to enter this neighborhood. A staple of the Matrix and under constant Machine mantence, to Blue Pills its a goverment owned property that is off limits to normal civilians. Only people working for the City or the Goverment treck here, and only a few are aware of the Matrix itself. North of Staenburgh, this chunk of land is highly guarded by the most powerfull of the Machine's counter-measure forces and lack the trapings and exploits that most Red Pills and Exiles use to get by the system. Only the most highest trained and the most brave or folish should ever set foot here, even people like Niobe or Ookami think this place is dangerous.

:..>

Hardlines :: None. The clossest access point is the North East Hardline in Staenburgh that will put you outside of the front gate security.

The Emperor

A mysterious and powerfull god-like program, he is the one that founded the Major Arcana club out of a need to control the most important and the most unstable intercasies of the Matrix. Control is his main method and power, control and order is his upmost philosophy with a little rule pushing streak thrown in. With stark white blond hair, gotee, the finest bussness suit and a archtechtual scale, he resembles the Architect if he was 30 years younger.

While most of his power is contained to the Entertainment District, his coding skills and mastery of the Matrix is second only to the big boss himself. Infact, rumor has it he was created due to future events that he will replace the current Architect of the Matrix and this is just hands-on experience for him.

Learning more about the mysteries of the System is beyond anyones wildest dreams however reaching him is a problem. Only Agents and other high level machine programs have the access keys to his domain and figuring out wich one will cause headaches for many. The rewards are high though, not to mention that the Emperor has an odd nack for starting something simple that then turns into a complex series of operations and adventures.

There is one converosation that no operative wants to here in a dire situation. When gunfire is heavy and chaos is happening left and right...

"Is that an Agent?"

"No, Protos! RUN!"

Prototypes or "Protos" as nicknamed by humans and exiles are a huge force to be reconed with inside of the system. When a Combat Program is created, after many training simulations and test evaluations, the Proto is set lose in the Matrix itself to see how it will operate under normal strain and conditions in the virtual world. Many do not meet standards and are deleted, but the ones that do manage to excel beyond expectation are permoted to becoming an Agent, earning there "Shades and Earpeice".

Some people consider Prototypes worse than Agents. While not as strong as Agents, there unperdictablaty and mastery over the system code is second to none. Many of the best and brutal combatants were once Protos: Smith, Agent Grey, Agent Pace, The Twins, Gargole, Seraph, Gruesome and The Antediluvian are a few examples of how dangerous Protos are.

Elohim is the current location in the Matrix used as the main testing grounds for the Prototypes. Be extreamly carefull, Protos are given experamental code and abilities that make them more deadly than most programs in the Matrix. Breathing fire, flying, metalic skin, teleporting and other such phenominon are not uncomon when encountering a Proto.

:.>

The Empress -- The Anchent programers and debugers of the system have a theory going around from debug tests. They think that in one form or another, the One program will return and will change the Matrix a second time to a fully new state. This may explain why The Emperor was created, but possibly more interesting is the program known as The Empress. The coutner weight oposit to Emperor, Empress apears to be a multi-racal teenage girl who lives in an abandon apartment complex near The Gates. She is inteligent but curious, and is currently exploring her new found reality as to learn more information.

Two things make her very valualbel and unique. One is she is automaticaly equipped with many keys in her purse. Such keys lead to many hidden, exciting, and dangerious places. The other is her uncanny and never before seen ability to channel Source code. Bits of source code do remain in Protos, while tough, if you can manage to get 25 Source Bits; the Empress can complie for you the very powrfull Source Suit (

Movement Speed +50, Inner Strength Regen +40, Melee Damage +50, Ballistic Resistance +50, Viral Resistance +70, Stealth +20, Super Jump +80, Heal Damage +50, Sweep +20, Max Health -300, Causes 50 damage every 10 seconds, 10% Cause Pacify 100 Seconds)

Architectual Building - "There is a building. Inside this building there is a place were no elevator can go and no stair can reach. This building is filled with doors that go to places. Hidden Places. But one door is specal. One door leads to the Source." -- The Keymaker

The Architectual Building is a main corner stone of the entire simulation and a masterpice of a building. Excisting as a foundation since the first itteration, the Arch Building is an impossible 4 and a half mile high skysccraper; so high is peirces the clouds and is the tallest building in the world. The place is entirely funded by the goverment and controled by the Machines, its many floors and hallways provide a myriad of access points to other off-reach zones that are hevaly guarded. While the Source connection has been severd, the same floor is were the new Emperor programe takes office. This is the same building that Neo had to enter and excape the fireball from in The Matrix Reloaded.

:...>

Sentinal HQ -- All those newspapers that everyone reads in-between the lines in the Matrix comes from this main building. A nice large flat filled with many office space, its has a very large basement for a building and is located next to two wearhouses, a printing plant, and a delivery parking complex. The most distiguishing feature of the building is the cement park were the metalic Sentinal sculpture made by Raven Underwell from a image in her dreams. Redpills however see the sculputure resembaling an all well known threat.

:..>

Headnet Gallary -- An old govermental building complex turned into amature art gallary. The space is very thin as its squeezed in between two very large office buildings, most of the artwork takes up much of the space of the many floors and the place is linked via stairs rather than an elevator. Security is tight so be carefull when looking around if you do not have a pass.

:..>

The Gates -- Due to this being a govermental zone, the entire area is restricted for civilans to wander in. Entering the zone will result in trial, jail time and potentaly death. To prevent coppertops, redpills and exiles from entering Elohim is blocked off from Staenburgh by "The Gates". I massive giant wall seperates the area along with electric fencing. On the Staenburgh side the top level Regime members stand to block the gates and on the other side Protos are lay in waiting. There is only three ways of getting through security. One is to get a pass in, another is to fight your way through the front gates and the other is hyperjumping over the wall. Eather way, getting into Elohim is very difficult.

:..>

The Access Node is non-existent in Elohim, the only place in the Matrix that dose not have one. This means that no matter what your level or rank you are limited in the ammount of time you can spend there before an Agent teleports in to take care of you. Be carefull.

Fast Facts:

Vile Wands are actualy invisible to the Blue Pill populous lending to some hillarity and confusing momments.

The reason why The Merovingian is not part of the Major Arcana is because when he applyed the Wheel of Fate gave him the name "The Devil" and he was insulted. They still state that he continues to live our his card quite well.

Death is a curse possision because nobody has held it for very long. Smith, Squad Leader, The Assasin, and even Anome held the possision of Death breafly before they were elemenated from the system.

If both Neo and Trinity ever came back, they would have been put under the title The Lovers. Saddly, they are not alive as of now.
