JOTOTHUSK

✧ ⸻ An underground city that's considered a safe haven for many. Due to the steady growth over the years, the city's structure is built like an ant hive. There are sections upon sections spread below, which all connected with large tunnels that trains can pass through.Despite the nature of Jotothusk, there is still light within, and it almost looks like the surface with countless plants littered around everywhere. If you were born here, chances are you have never seen what the sky is truly like.There are currently 6 main sectors in Jotothusk, all named after flowers. For the rp, most will take place within the Rose Sector.

LIVING SITUATION

✧ ⸻ Cultures may have changed when everyone had been forced to live underground. It depends on what sector you are, but what they all have in common is the fact that they all yearn and revere the old world. Plants and animals are considered sacred and an important resource now, and those with jobs handling these are very high-paying and significant.Jotothusk had developed their own artificial lights that could help grow crops. Each sector has a large source of light, which they now consider as their 'suns'. They don't run always, operating on a day and night cycle not only to give the engines a rest, but to give some semblance of normalcy to the people below.For the wealthy, they may live comfortably in their lives in their own private but smaller sectors. To show off their status, they have an abundance of gardens and their own artificial suns.For the commonfolk, they just live life as they usually are within the main sectors, maybe a few common or odd jobs here and there. Things may be different now, but people still need to work to provide for their families and themselves.

THE SURFACE

✧ ⸻ It is unknown what goes around the surface unless you're a licensed expeditioner, from what people heard from them it feels alien or otherwordly stepping foot outside. It is also common knowledge that the behemoths, whether dead or alive, litter both sky and ground.It's currently impossible to make the surface habitable, with only heavily protected outposts that exist within the outside radius of Jotothusk, but organizations and groups have made it their goal to figure out a means to survive out there.

BEHEMOTHS

✧ ⸻ These are large otherwordly beings that have entered our world through the cracks in the sky. People believed these were immortal at first, but things changed for the worst when they've began to die and fall into the earth.Their remains have strange properties that completely alter the environment and those who live within. Those affected have completely changed into monstrous beings known as chimeras, and they've become hostile enough to attack anything that comes in their way. Only those whos lived in the surface before retreating to Jotothusk could account to the phenomenon.Not much is known about their origin or how they came to be, but their presence alone is the cause of the surface becoming the wasteland that it is today.

✧ Rose Sector

✧ ⸻ This is where The Sanctuary is located. This is a bustling sector that's home to countless businesses and organizations, it is a melting pot of many different people who's come to find opportunities for themselves.

✧ Orchid Sector

✧ ⸻ Home to the upperclass. Those who live in this sector have access to various gardens, clean sources of water, and even their own 'suns' to showcase their wealth.

✧ Lily Sector

✧ ⸻ This is where essential crops and essential poultry are taken care off by the people. Those who live here often come from humble beginnings.

✧ Marigold Sector

✧ ⸻ This is considered as both a residential and artisan goods sector for those who prefer to settle in somewhere quiet. Home to a majority of the middle class.

✧ Lotus Sector

✧ ⸻ The sector that's closest to the reservoirs of water. There are countless underground canal systems connected from here to the rest of the city. Also known for the fisheries, the luxury goods of Jotothusk.

✧ Dahlia Sector

✧ ⸻ For those who cannot afford to live a stable life in Jotothusk, this is where they'd end up in. Many try to climb their way out just to make their mark in the city.

THE SANCTUARY

✧ ⸻ An organization that not only specializes in expedition work, but has different branches and specialization that focus on research, engineering and volunteer related tasks. They're quite well known throughout Jotothusk, but due to recent events, they have stirred quite the controversy within the common folk.

PROMETHEUS PROJECT

✧ ⸻ One of The Sanctuary's recent projects is now accepting a second batch of participants from the public. They claim that their archivists have managed to figure out a means for the human body to resist the effects of the behemoth's remains, but it will come with a cost.The Sanctuary warns those who will apply that while they will be compensated greatly, their bodies will not come back the same as it once was, and they will venture through the unknown that is the surface for long periods of time.Despite the reassurances, the public has mixed reactions to this. It is speculated that this is one of the projects that have caused a major incident to happen that has led to various deaths, but the organization claims to deny such a thing.

KINDLINGS

✧ ⸻ This is what you will be referred to from now on as part of the project. Kindlings are those who resist the effects of the surface while possessing traits from the behemoths. As the second batch, the traits you'll receive will be less compared to those in the first batch.

ASPECT AUGMENTATIONS

✧ ⸻ As a kindling, your body will assigned to something called an aspect. These are classifications of what abilities and physical changes you will receive once you've gone through the process of receiving your stabilization device. There are five aspects as of the moment.Harvest
