PLOT
WHERE OUR SKYLINES are riddled with elegant yet contemporary skyscrapers, the nightlife is bustling and the businesses are booming ! each establishment in the city manages to advance as the years go by all while keeping our deeply integrated history intact. a cosmopolitan society by nature, crystalline city is not just prosperous in wealth, but also in culture. our diversity has managed to keep this city thriving all while becoming a fundamental part of our identity as a whole. what historically was a community of little contrast has grown into a large melting pot and it’s exactly this that has united the 6 million people for the past ten decades to this day. crystalline city currently holds the number one rank in the most modern albeit normal cities in the world… that is… if you turn a blind eye to the superfreaks walking amongst the normal ones. if that little history lesson doesn’t catch your attention, we’re really not sure what will ! come on now, our tour isn’t over! we’d love to have you around…
WHAT THEY DON’T tell you about crystalline city, however, is that beneath their perfect facade of modernity lies something more hectic than one would expect. with the steady influx of superhumans moving into the city came an alarming rise in crime rates. the primal nova of villains, full to the brim with pure evil, became a menace to society. they destroyed everything in their wake, hurt those who dared oppose them and even took territories to control for their own. to combat the villains threatening the safety of all the innocent lives caught in their wake of destruction, the league of heroes was born. they are the ones who are considered superheroes amongst the bad, the people who try to make the world a better place for everyone to live in. they foil the plans of villainy and help serve heroic justice wherever it is needed.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE PEOPLE of crystallite city believe all supers, regardless of what side they associate themselves with, are two sides of the same coin. they believe all of them are unnatural beings who should cease to exist no matter the risks due to the fact that they are too dangerous to roam the city freely. that is how it’s been for a couple of decades, and from the looks of it, no one is changing their minds any time soon. the sole reason why supers haven’t been eradicated legally is because according to the government, supers are but a blip on their radar. despite the civilians thinking otherwise, they do not have a negative or positive impact on everyday life.
THE MAIN QUESTION will always remain the same… where exactly do YOU fit in as a crystallite ? do you support the heroic justice of the renegades or the evil plans of mass destruction of the primal novas ? do you support the views of the civilians or do you think we can all live together in peace and happiness? the choice is all yours in the end, we just hope you make the right one.
LORE
Uptown crystalline also known as the sunstone district is known for having over six different boroughs and the safest of the neighborhoods.
- Malachite Learning Center: we all remember the early days we spent in elementary school all the way through middle school. the years that we spent learning and making the best lifelong friends so swiftly it almost felt as though nobody was ever left out. malachite learning center is filled with the brave young souls that will one day lead our nation. this is the place where the children of crystalline city will gravitate towards the paths that they’ll spend the rest of their lives paving.
- Richmond Hospital: if you eat an apple a day you most likely won’t be keeping the doctors at richmond general hospital away. there are rumors that some doctors accept medical mysteries in the late hours of the night. there’s a strict don’t ask don’t tell between these doctors and their patients. the only information they desire is what they’ll learn from patching these patients up. and sure they could ask how the wound magically disappeared within the ten minute visit, but they’re likely to just run the blood test and seek out the abnormalities. be careful who you ask for in the late hours, not all are friendly to… medical mysteries.
- Crystalline High School: wait… so you’re telling me that high schoolers normally don’t see flying figures catching fire mid air? that’s just an occurrence that may happen before the eyes of crystalline high? despite being close to the heart of a city wrapped in bizarre happenings, this high school is oddly normal. the food in the cafeteria is barely edible, the courses are boring and in all actuality not useful in every day scenarios, and the teachers try way too hard to relate. sure it’s something you never signed up for yourself, but after four years are you really going to care about that?
- Wentmund Borough: while crystalline city is beautiful in it’s own, we simply can’t forget about the wentmund boroughs, the largest and most populated out of the three other boroughs found in the sunstone district. this is where the majority of the civilians of crystalline city go to reside in when they don’t want to live amongst the bustling at the heart of the city. filled with heaps of rows of brownstone apartments, townhouses and quaint homes, these neighborhoods are by far the safest and quietest amongst all of the boroughs to bring up a family and live a peaceful life.
- Wentmund Park: this is where parents bring their children to play, where older folk walk alongside their beloved to feed the ducks in the lake. wentmund park may not be as big or as flashy as the central park in the midtown district, but it sure as hell doesn’t lack the charm. wentmund has large fields of grass for family picnics, basketball courts, and swings and benches. whether you’re here to relax or to unwind with a little run underneath the sun, this park welcomes everyone!!
- Sunstone Bodega: if you’re looking for something in particular perhaps you should take a trip to sunstone’s bodega? there’s no actual explanation but somehow it always feels like they always have exactly what you need. sure it may be eerily creepy, but what other store is going to always have exactly what you’re craving when you’re craving it? this cute little bodega sure will! ranging from magazines and books, to something to munch on. there’s a little something for everyone at this bodega.
- Uptown Cinema: sure they may not always get movies on time, but the uptown cinema is always running something. it’s the perfect spot to bring your friends, or perhaps that special someone. there’s always some deal going on whether it be on the tickets or the treats inside. be sure to impress your companions by playing the fun arcade games whilst waiting for your show to begin!
- Crystalline City Hall: his is where people hope to meet the top of crystalline’s formal hierarchy. metamorphosis of the city come to fruition in this place, where the important meetings and conventions happen. kind smiles & welcoming gestures are what will accept you when you step into mayor’s office. you can always find someone to get your point across about the issues you have concerning the city. friendliness, someone to hear your worries, a welcoming atmosphere that’ll make you feel proud of being a crystallite. – we hope those are what you are looking for because word on the street is it isn’t easy peasy to have a face to face conversation with mayor themselves.
- Galdwin Police Station: perhaps it wouldn’t be wrong to call them the legal heroes of crystalline city, police force. hecticness is present every day in the galdwin police station. cases to solve are complicated & ever so dangerous, this isn’t your regular police station. does it even surprise you? no coffee & glazed donut breaks for galdwin’s officers when the threat is something way more powerful than them. it is men versus supers, nothing can be easy nor simple. if you came here for your noisy neighbors, i’m afraid you have to wait a considerable time as bigger issues like blowing skyscrapers take the priority.
- Wingdam Tech: not only a symbol of success for crystalline, wingdam technology is a name known worldwide. this is where the bright minds & futuristic ideas inosculate. wingdam technology plays a grand role in opening up crystalline to the world & grips various scientists to improve city’s condition. the giant building has its sumptuous doors open for interns, engineers, researchers, everyone with an idea to make a change. rumor has it that wingdam technologies is the meeting point of heroes where every hero in the making happen by in order to train themselves before they put their capes on.
- Galdwin Subway Station: crystalline’s subway system is like a net covering the city in its entirety. always busy with crystallites roaming around & rushing to catch their train ride, galdwin subway station is a good place to start if you want to traverse this city on an affordable budget. you can almost land yourself in anywhere using crystalline’s subway network. have a pleasant trip, riding the rails if it’s a trouble-free day. but we don’t really have that kind of days around here, do we?

- Larimar Beach: considered the secluded and lesser known of the two major beaches surrounding crystalline city; larimar beach is a hidden gem which is found after taking a twenty minute hike along a steep trail located just outside the eastern area of the city. uniquely adorned by bountiful rock formations, a natural yet rare violet hue in the sand and low tides; this beach is easily a favorite amongst locals looking to find peace outside of the city. the police officials have issued a fair warning, however, to be extremely careful when visiting larimar considering there are and have never been lifeguards on site !!
- Abandoned Buildings: the true definition of urban decay, there is a haunting sort of beauty found in these abandoned industrial buildings which can be found a couple of miles outside from the city’s western borderline. these businesses were once considered the root of crystalline city’s wealth, but the larger that crystalline grew, the less inclined businessmen felt in investing to keep these factories maintained. forgotten for almost five decades; these buildings still stand tall and contain large open spaces decorated with graffiti on the walls and old rusted windows. they’re not visited as often anymore and because of that, locals suspect one of these abandoned buildings might be the hq to the city’s villains.
