DEEP. LORE. DEEP. LORE.
(Just the world setting. Sounds cooler though.)
It’s the year 23XX in a futuristic, dystopian world named “Adamantia”. It’s unknown what the cause truly was, but lesions began showing up on people many years ago that were making their skin rot and fall away, leading to many severe infections. Scientists began putting a name to it: “Euclid”, or more commonly known as “UCLD”, which is short for "Ubiquitous Chronic Lesion Deterioration". It is not known what causes one to contract this disease, but it spreads very slowly and there is no way of stopping this. Almost all of Adamantia has UCLD and has been learning to live with it. It has been confirmed that UCLD is not infectious, and is not sentient. It does not affect babies/children for some reason and doesn’t seem to start affecting most people until they’re at least 21~24. It can take months, or even years, until it eventually kills a person. It had been decided in 22XX that the best way to circumvent this was by transfusing the human subconscious into cyborg vessels via scientific means. One can really only do this procedure if they have the proper funds to do so. As a result, what often happens is people choose instead to only replace parts of them with grafted cybernetic pieces until over time they’ve lost all their skin, as a means of prolonging death. Because this isn’t the ideal way to handle UCLD, this does lead to eventually contracting infections, and unfortunately still inevitably leads to death.
- The most expensive method is to implement “synthweave” by transferring one’s subconscious into a cyborg body that has an advanced type of synthetic skin, thus providing one with the ability to emulate the human body as well as the ability to feel things by touching, tasting, etc. This is extremely rare, as most only do this when they have disposable income and want to still look good.
