::Soul Brawlers::
By 2001 the world’s technological industries were at an all time high. Japan’s technologic industries became one of the largest in the world, easily topping that of America and Europe. Its early work began in more simple cybernetic designs, such as primitive fly and bug robotics. By early 2005 their research had advanced to the point where the mass production of wide scale cybernetic body parts swept the world, allowing those with disabilities to be reintroduced into society like any able person, yet the demand for these new mechanical parts were far greater than for the disabled. Noticing the amazing physical advances these parts allowed, soon even able bodied persons were trading their biological body parts in for these robotic parts. Soon the natural boundaries of physics were lifted from the world, with normal people finding super strength and movements, the world entered into a new era, yet such a technological advance came with a price. Naturally, the United States and other countries felt threatened by the rise of this great super power, and by their obvious decline in their industries.
The creator of these truly amazing technologies, a man named Akizo Kotosuma, the leader of the Cyber Angelic Corporation made his attempts to reassure the USA that his company, and the Cyber Angelic technologies posed no threat, Akizo was a kind hearted man not a tyrant. Regardless, the U.S continued their demands, and their research. Their own military force stood much stronger due to multiple atomic weaponry, but as the new age of man and machine dawned, so too did the threat of change, and the panic that came so naturally with the human race.
In 2006, Akizo Kotosuma passed away, aged 68 due to unknown reasons. The news shocked the world, yet his dreams were not to be forgotten, for they were continued under his son, Rouji Kotosuma, whom fell into a deep rage against the United States for the way in which they had treated his father. With his genius mind, and his fathers research, Rouji once more advanced the technological industries of Japan and Asia, ignoring the threats of the U.S. By early 2009, Japan’s technologic power was catastrophically high, the Neo Angelic corporation controlling the majority of Japan, waged war against the United States, to which a cataclysm of war out broke. Russia, China and Japan joined forces once more to face off against the forces of America, Britain, France and parts of Europe joined to face the Eastern threat, and the world fell into chaos.
World War Three had begun.
Years past, and the devastation caused by the horrific events of the war could be seen through out the world. Third world countries prospered in this new age, yet the countries involved in the war brought about their own destruction, their lands lay to waste, their peoples massacred and the remnants of the past left to live as mere memories of the once united world. People began to rebuild.
In the end, the massively advanced technology of Japan and the Neo Angelic Corporation were too much, Japan found victory in the December of 2015, yet their success came with its equal failures. Tokyo had been laid to waste, destroyed under the strength of the United States military and the ramifications would be equally catastrophic.
During this desperate time, Roujin appeared before his people, and in his proud state offered a speech.
“The Decision I made met me with great fear, my foolish acts were born only of anger and sorrow over my late fathers passing. But I promise you, my people that I will no longer act upon selfish desires, today, with this victory upon us, we unite as one! We, Japan become a Union, a democracy! I will listen you, you will listen to me and together, our great country will rise again, our homes will be rebuilt, and our great capital will be brought back, Tokyo will return to you!
The people cheered under the enthusiasm of their great leader, yet they were oblivious to the even greater cataclysm that was to meet humanity. Tokyo was rebuilt, and by 2019 Japan stood tall once again. The old districts of Harajuku, Shibuya and Omotesando merged into once, becoming Habundo, the new capital, the town of the mid-future. Though despite their proud ways, the people of Ginza strayed away from this corrupt pride, separating themselves from the capital, forming the peaceful community of Ginza-ko, the town of nature. They adopted the saying “Nature is our mother, we are her children, the future is no more and the past is today.” The people of Ginza-ko banished all technology from their lands, closing their gates and lands to all Neo Angelic technology users they reverted to a state similar to that of ancient Japan, a peaceful farming and fishing community which held onto the spirit of nature, praying and prospering by their rich crops and seaside delicacies.
Meanwhile, the great cataclysm finally became known to the inhabitant of new Tokyo. The vast amounts of Neo bionic generators built within Daikanyama, destroyed in the war resulted in widespread infection, the Neo genetic spores within these generators spread through out the air, greatly polluting the city with toxic fumes, infecting many. In a desperate attempt to destroy the outbreak, Roujin quarantined Daikanyama in its entirety, all none infected inhabitants were evacuated to other parts of Tokyo, and Daikanyama was shut off from the rest of the city. The forbidden area was renamed Narakuyama, the district of night hell, reduced to a no escape prison for criminal types. Within the walls, those infected by the Neo Genetic spores found themselves mutating at rapid speeds. The mutant animals, people and criminals of Narakuyama prison find themselves prowling at night time, hunting for prey.
By 2025, New Tokyo had become completely stable, once more prospering over their technologies and ways. Slowly but surely, the world began to rebuild. Yet the infection of Neo genetic spores spread through out the world, and soon the discovery of a new race of humans became clear, a new race which had evolved perfectly, and with the help of Neo power cells gained the ability to control and bend elements, a force in themselves. Roujin took note of this, and like with Daikanyama, ordered a complete witch hunt and quarantine of these people, many were slaughtered, but their numbers never decreased. They had become a natural part of society on earth.
As years past, the Cyber Angelic Company prospered even greater with the research into the Neo Virus mutants. Roujin develope his Neo Angelic technologies further, creating Neo Weaponry, a force that excelled any military in existence. These weapons were placed in public markets, and the new age entered further into a twisted world, anyone anywhere was able to pick up a weapon and use it freely, the new laws in protection against Neo Virus mutants allowing such feats and with a bounty on any one with Neo genetic spore infection, the world seemed further from recognition than ever before.
It was only in this time that a new group of people emerged, all types of people, from ordinary humans to the Neo spore infected, all forming under a new society known as “Soul Brawlers.” With their limitless boundaries, they lived life free from any laws, as outlaws to any rules or way of life, their supreme abilities allowing them to rule over ordinary people, they came to be hated across Japan, yet their influence was spreading right across the globe, and soon, the outlaw forces of Soul Brawlers became known everywhere.
More years passed, and the Soul Brawlers, combined with the homeless Neo infected people began their uprise, 5 Brawlers who named themselves as the “Royal Five,” the kings of all of the Soul Brawlers took Habudo's Underground for their own, their bodies too infected by the Neo spores united the hell of Narakuyama, and the kind people of Ginza-ko who offered their help and acceptance of these poor and mutated souls. After years of work, they transformed the undergrounds of Habundo into the Soul City, the city of Soul Brawlers and the domain of the 5 Royal Kings rule.
Yet the peace and co-operation between them would not last, with each Royal 5 arguing and fighting over power and land, they came to rival each other, claiming their own turf and followers, the unstable rule within Soul City, finally broke the hell down, reducing it once more to a corrupt slum of hookers, dealers and gangsters, a land for all of the wicked of the world.
The year is 2030, Tokyo, and the world has been rebuilt. The new age. It’s the system against the rebels, the so called “Soul Brawlers.”
