Thunder City There were those that chafed at the rivalry between the Endymion Citadel and Gear Town. Sorcerers and Machinists from both sides sought to see what their combined efforts could bring. And so, they slipped away, deciding to combine their talents to create their own settlement. A floating city, so they can be far from the fighting. Though creating such a city proved more difficult than expected. Until they caught the eyes of others. Thunderous entities from the heavens came down to offer their aid, providing the intense power needed to bring the city airborne, and as an added bonus, even encircled the city with a constant lightening storm for their protection. All in exchange for a place in their new society. And thus formed the great Thunder City. However, soon this pride in accomplishment turned to arrogance. The city saw itself as the perfect blend of the arcane, mechanical and divine. It saw itself as the perfect city, that all others should aspire to be. Within their thunder cloud, they now pursue their own interests and pleasures, paying no mind to the world below, unless it is to flaunt their 'perfection'. Population This Floating, mechanical metropolis boasts a rather sizable population of 210,000 people, made up of a combination of the various humanoids, along with various entities of thunder and lightening, whom have found a place of high respect in the city. Government Thunder City is led by a city council, made up of sorcerers and machinists, chosen by the populace to run the city. At the head of this council sits The Creator, one of the original entities who helped the city rise. Though they say all members of the council are equal, many outsiders can see that the Creator seems to hold the most sway, effectively leading the city like a king. Factions & Organizations Arcana Machina Thunder City's center of learning, as well as their main center of research. The university seeks to see just how interwoven the arcane and the mechanical can be, always researching new theories and performing experiments to this end. They are always seeking out new, fresh minds for this prestigious university. The Thunder League Seeing no need for a military, Thunder City instead treats its Duelists like sports stars and celebrities. The Thunder League pits them in sensationalized contests, purely for the entertainment of the masses. The perks and the fame that comes with it has attracted many to the city because of it. Relations Thunder City's relationship with the rest of the Duel World is...quite tenuous at best. The city's legendary arrogance has caused almost everyone to regard them as an annoyance. Even the Sky Sanctuary feels that Thunder City is acting a bit too big for its boots. The Endymion Citadel and Gear Town, effectively the city's parents, have a mutual disdain for the flying city. Thunder City, likewise, regards everyone else with a condescending pity. If only they could be like them. They pay little mind to the affairs and rivalries below, more concerned with its own needs, and acting as an example for the rest of the world. Thunder City has thrown itself whole heartedly into the Outer Worlds. Like the rest of the Duel World, they wish to set an example for Dark City. They are more than happy to explore and experiment with A Space, and are even now attempting to 'civilize' the 'savage' toon. A venture many are waiting to blow up in their face. |
