Foundation – A City Owned, Not Governed
Nexus Prime is not a nation. It is a construct.
Built by private hands and corporate will, it functions on a singular principle:
"Freedom is permitted in exchange for obedience."
Citizens sign away their rights in return for security and enhancement. Free-will contracts. Surgical upgrades. Employment tethered to data output. Every life, every movement, every augmentation—monitored.
It is the world's last cyber-metropolis.
And its first digital prison.
Architecture – Gothic Steel, Neon Soul
The city’s skyline pierces the clouds with cybernetic spires—monoliths of chrome and ceramic, overlaid with glowing glyphs and resonance emitters.
But beneath the tech: stone.
Ruins from the old world. Cathedrals hollowed out and converted into Codex data halls. Market plazas paved with alloy over forgotten graves.
Fashion here is an echo of contradiction:
-
Long coats, brass fastenings, and high collars
-
Paired with glowing seams, smart fabrics, and interface rigs
The past isn’t erased in Nexus Prime.
It’s reprogrammed.
Society – Tiered by Access
There is no middle class in Nexus Prime.
You are either:
-
Augmented and employed
-
Unmodified and forgotten
The wealthy walk in exosilk with cranial uplinks.
The poor buy bootleg augment chips from slum-riggers.
Crime is low—because surveillance is absolute.
But resistance simmers in the underlayers.
Among the archives. Among the discarded.
Among the ruins Codex tried to purge.
Codex’s Role – The Silent Dominion
Before its collapse, Codex was the city’s shadow government.
Their reach extended from public clinics to underground vaults. The Order’s failures walk the streets still, their whispers ignored by civilians too scared to ask why their reflections blink twice.
And even now, with Codex dismantled…
Its servers still pulse beneath the streets.
Its glyphs still glow faintly in alley walls.
And those who once worked for them?
They’re still watching.
Legacy – A City That Remembers
Nexus Prime does not forget.
Its air hums with discarded code.
Its ghosts walk in synthetic skin.
Its silence hides secrets.
Some say the city itself is waking up.
That the Nexus Core never died—only scattered.
That one day, every screen will flicker.
And the city will speak.
“I remember who you were.”
