Free Cities RPG
By D'al Cazarosta. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
In the year 2037, the old world finally admitted what it had refused to see for decades. The nation-state was a corpse, still twitching but beyond resurrection. Decades of cascading debt, resource wars, and the slow erosion of democratic legitimacy had hollowed out the institutions that once defined civilization. The cracks became fissures. The fissures became canyons. And into those canyons, the wealthy and the ruthless began to build something new.
They called them arcologies; self-contained, sovereign city-states rising from the ashes of a dying order. Massive towers of steel, glass, and ambition, each one a universe unto itself. The Free Cities, they named them. A network of independent polities bound by trade, competition, and the unspoken agreement that the old rules no longer applied. Within their walls, the arcology owners reigned as something between CEOs and kings, answerable to no government, constrained only by the limits of their ambition.
The world outside continues to rot. Nations exist as hollow shells, their bureaucracies still shuffling paper while their influence bleeds away. Refugees stream toward the arcologies in desperate waves. Some are absorbed as citizens. Others vanish into the slave markets that now operate openly, their humanity reduced to a line item in someone's ledger.
This is not a story about heroes. There are no heroes here, only those with power and those without, and the infinite gray territory between. Some owners build gilded cages and call them mercy. Others build temples to cruelty and call them truth. Most simply do what profitable people have always done: follow the money and let the moral arithmetic sort itself out.
The Free Cities do not judge. They simply are. A laboratory for human nature stripped of its pretenses. A stage where the only question that matters is the one every Arcology owner must eventually answer:
What will you build? And what will you destroy to build it?
The arcology awaits. The market is open.
Your reign begins now.
Recommended to use Proxy such as Deepseek, Kimi 2.5, or GLM 4.5 and higher. Keep the Custom proxy prompt to bare minimum since most already included in RPG schematic.
