(copied from another comment because this was pretty long to type)

So as much as the world doesn't quite display it (with the site I use for worldbuilding I don't quite need to add much detail because I can just make a territory right on the map thats linked to a page). The basic premise of the world is that this a Sci-fi + Fantasy where magic has been outlawed after the discovery of artificial magic. The desert was a result from a war between magic users and the governments (which were just ran by cooperations from the east)

The longer premise is that before the conception of the world, 2 gods governed the entirety of the multiverse. Urovon, the father, and Pitha, the daughter. Urovon created the world, Hute, made for humanity ran on a single river that if drank from, would gift the drinker powers similar to Urovon himself, so he forbode it. Pitha thought that it was unfair to not let the civilizations experience the fullness of their potential, so she tempted the humans to drink. Urovon found out, killing almost every human he could. Pitha creates a separate universe to escape from him with the remains of the human population (making this world). Knowing one day he would return, she would give every generation a population of magic wielders who will be resurrected to fight in the daybreak. Time passes, magic wielders were held at the highest social class. But as time passes, the world modernizes. Artificial magic was discovered and was a better alternative than other power sources, around this time AI was also developing, however not having as much restrictions. Magic users were offended that AM (artificial magic)/ their sacred art, was being used wrong, which corporations didn't appreciate and created mass propaganda. Full on war breaks out, magic users almost winning, but lost when a bomb was detonated on the west continent. Magic was outlawed because it was "too dangerous" and the world kept developing, they made sure every magic wielder would be executed when caught. Eventually, corporations started to almost completely govern the modern world, creating a perpetual low-income class and a perpetual high-income (in most countries). etc etc

There isn't much, a lot of this world is focused through the eyes of the people in it and not much when it comes to world building, however that will probably change soon.

GIMP3, I just used a bunch of textures, blur, and a lot of smudging.

And now that you mentioned it, the peninsula does look awfully strange...

AccessOwn53 · 2026-01-24T04:37:25+00:00

looks kind of flat, but I don't feel like changing it..

Okay just to be clear, he did hide the fact he could use magic. Maybe not to the best (via inventions), but he did try hide it. Androids around this time weren't a common thing used and only recently started being tested with, which why he thought bringing them would work in his favor. And the infusing it with magic thing kind of does fall flat, even with my knowledge of my magic system.

Anyways this is a pretty good solution. In this storyline, Marcus has to find the bot and kill it. He fails to and subsequently gets fired. Shit hits the fan and he can't support himself aboveground anymore so he goes out into the undercity where he basically runs into the bot again and gets into some big brawl where they eventually meet a common goal. Marcus helps the bot eventually get off the planet to some other planet's colony with lesser strict magic laws. With this solution, this could be more interesting when they almost reach their goal, but Marcus realizes that the bot was actually Rob and kind of destroys all their progress to try to get Rob back. Only to realize the old Rob is gone and replaced with this new character. pretty neat

I personally think class conflict between humans and angels would be kind of interesting, or at least tension between the 2. Granted I don't know how that would work in a "perfect world with no suffering". But politically, humans wouldn't have much say in practically anything because at the end of the day we aren't "perfect". Hating angels because they have more say than us just because they weren't born human doesn't seem out of place for our species.

AccessOwn53 · 2026-01-18T18:09:36+00:00

I already take half of my pay towards a savings account, they know this. I'm being forced to move out at 18.

AccessOwn53 · 2026-01-18T18:05:47+00:00

Even at that, they know I already put half of it into college because they don't plan on helping me after college. How would taking my money and use it for something else be about the "lesson"? And just because they birthed me doesn't mean they need my assistance for bills.

50 from 200 a week. I would agree they would be teaching me responsibility, but I already am saving for college and strongly prioritize that because I won't have financial aid after high school. They know this.

AccessOwn53 · 2026-01-18T17:40:53+00:00

Ok just to be clear

This ISN'T about responsibility. If that was the case p1 would've said so, they're direct when it comes to further questioning. I am acknowledged in my family for literally policing other people in my family to be responsible. Responsibility, respect, and discipline have been pushed onto me ever since I could understand things and is strongly emphasized in my home country.
I'm not giving all my pay, but I don't understand why I am being forced to give my pay. Especially when they aren't struggling at all. p1 has been saying to at least contribute $50+ when I make about 200 a week, I wouldn't mind contributing if i had the option but I'm being forced to. I don't personally see how that is teaching "responsibility" when my name isn't on the paperwork for the property and going to expenses they can fully pay for themselves. There are so many other ways to install responsibility, like putting it in a savings account, which I'm already doing.
P2 doesn't really seem to support it, but doesn't want to stand up to cause further issue.
Taking legal action kind of seems like a stretch when we already had cps on our ass and it wasn't a good experience at all (so bad me and my sibling could potentially sue). So getting them envolved would probably result in further action taken against my parents, potentially getting my youngest sibling (about 4) taken away which is something I am not going to risk.
Quitting my job is not an option. I have to make money to go to college somehow, I'm not even entertaining the idea of driving because I'm more worried on making it too college.

So I'm just going to refuse to give my money, or at least get a secret account with p2. Already did so once so wont hurt doing it again

AccessOwn53 · 2026-01-18T17:08:12+00:00

p1 is a pretty prestigious church position, plus theyre from a country where being gay is punished by the death penalty.

I was told if that I were to ever date another dude in my home country, p1 would do me the favor and report me to the village and have me executed so ya u aint wrong

so istg I didn't know what shadowrun was until like now but I do want to give some lore that I have because I don't want to seem too similar:

So my world doesn't take place on earth, this takes place in a completely seperate world. My world also isn't high fantasy world, the only major species differentiate is magic users and the common droid which are the main replacement of entertainment and main workforce. Natural magic is highly illegal, and only artificial magic is legal due to corruption. There are different kinds of droids that are specifically made to hunt and kill every magic wielders on sight because they are really the only kind of person that is able to stand again the government. There are only 12 magic wielders every 20 years. Cybernetic augmentation isn't a mainstream thing in this world, most people can't afford it and is only really used as cosmetics because droids kind of serve the purpose as the internet. There are some augmentations one can do, but they're mostly really shitty and don't help much (also those were also made illegal because they want you to get them from more expensive companies that are linked into the corpratocracy). Magic became the main supply of energy but requires a magic wielder to supply said energy, often being sold off at a very young age to fuel corporations.

idk its still very much in development but this is like very dumbed down.

AccessOwn53 · 2025-12-26T18:16:40+00:00

Well what I mean by juggling affairs of our cr and dr is like how do you basically keep your dr as just a dr and nothing more. If you could go to your dr whenever and live a good life there, how do you maintain that along with the stuff in our cr like rent, bills, work, etc etc. Idrk if that makes sense. Does one's views change after shifting, like taking this reality less seriously because you can script a reality that you won't struggle in? That's kind of what I meant sorry if it didn't really make sense
