Information dump and discussion

The idea is that ShinRa is entering into a new world and must establish if its an acceptable expansion world. Monsters a plenty, magic to contend with, and samples to be brought back home.

Not all backstory information is present in this post and a reminder that this RP and story line spreads across multiple forums as well.
Any questions just shoot.

What is ShinRa Inc? | +
ShinRa is a multi-dimensional corporation that seeks out new expanding business opportunities while trying to heal their home world. With over eight hundred and sixty years of operation ShinRa has always been a weapons manufacturer while also diversifying into other areas. Currently the company researches and pushes the boundaries of engineering, bio-tech, and magi-tech development for multiple areas of its business including but not limited to its own personal military force. ShinRa seeks out new worlds to establish connections to other realms and gain more technical or arcane knowledge.

SOLDIER is still the traditional heavy hitters of the ShinRa Military, but a new project spearheaded by Exor Ghest called the "SRI Knights" has been focused on creating individuals who can fight against the threats they could happen to cross now that the company has gone Omniversal.

NeoMidar is the capitol of the corporate empire and not just the standard Megalopolis. Comprised of over a hundred sectors many of which are sections of land on different worlds all connected to the city itself through multidimensional phasing. This means you can be in Sector thirty-three from world A and travel to Sector forty-five on world B. With such a diverse array of worlds and locals that actually make up Neo Midgar there is one constant, no matter which sector you are in the ShinRa Building is visible as a focal point.


ShinRa NPCs | +
Shin-Ra NPCs:


Beryl Shinra: The seventy-two year old President of the Mega-Corp is unarguably the most powerful man in the world being the final word in all important decisions and the direction of the company. He is the last of the Shinra line having no children of his own leaving many to wonder what will happen to the company once he passes on. Although his public appearances have dwindled lately it is said he used to be more out going in his younger days becoming quite the celebrity. His passion for the company has never been in question as he has lead them with his policies into this new era of prosperity. Recently in an interview he was asked an unscripted question as to what he thought his greatest failure was. His response was not hesitated and firmly he answered “Not healing the World Scar yet, something I wish to see in my lifetime and something that we are all dedicated to.


Exor Ghest: The Project Lead of the “Knight Initiative”, Exor Ghest is an enigmatic figure. The seventy-seven year old was once the Head of the R&D Division thirty years ago. He resigned under mysterious circumstances and the division itself was split into three smaller departments. Going into seclusion it was fifteen years later when he came back to the company with an idea. The “Knight Initiative” was designed to re-establish what he called “Heroes” for the company. The board all voted no but President Shinra gave Ghest the go ahead to start searching for participants while he convinced the board. The first “Knight” came from the new story of a lone surviving SOLDIER that defended a critical position with civilians at stake. The Public Relations exposure was to positive and the board voted to fully fund the project.

Dr. Jene Shinokuni: The main physician for all the executives and Knight members he is also head of the Biological development and study divisions. His division is in charge of all biological study and advancements through genetics and cell manipulation. He got his position through politics more than pure talent and some would say that his division has suffered for it, thought that is not the case as those under him are still some of the most brilliant minds in their fields. He is fifty-five but looks about thrity-eight at most.

Dr. Mizumi Yamamoto: Every ones favorite doctor nicknaming her Dr. Yam, she is not only the main psychologist of the company but also the head of Human Relations. She is just thirty-six years old and got her position from being hand picked by her predecessor when she retired four years ago. Everyone trusted her judgment and no one had any objections. She has a knack for putting people at ease and is always nice and bubbly. Still someone so nice all the time she must be hiding something dark!

Gary Roddic: A major gear head, this fourty-five year old spends most of his days trying to keep his body in shape as much as the machines his division builds. Earning the lead spot over the Engineering division, Rod has shown that if something needs to be built he can do it. Not ever having an offical degree Rod was self taught and comes up with many outside the box solutions. Thankfully his teams working on their projects are a bit more grounded to balance out the division which is seen as currently very strong. Most of the special devices used by the “Knight” program are from Rods own handy work as he usually is the one to either weave the work from the Magictec or Bio division to fit in with the technology.

Ruby Tanner: The head of the MagiTech Division is one lady most don't want to deal with. Most swear she has an Ice Materia shoved up her ass she is so cold. She takes what she wants and loves to play with new magical toys or abilities that come across way. At fifty-four she still looks like she is in her twenties due to her magically altering her appearance. Thirty years ago she was Exor Ghest's main assistant and was going to leave the company with him until they offered her a spot in the newly formed MagiTech division. Accepting she became a workaholic and spear headed many new advancements such as melded materia. The last decade she has been at work on a special project called “Orange” but she wont release any details until she is ready to display her crowning achievement.


Gaia and its current state. | +
What is known

Midgar is now NeoMidgar and the mega city has expanded over the entire north part of its residing continent. This means that it has enveloped Kalm and portions of the area north of the "Chocobo Farm" as a full fledged mega city. Part of the city hangs over water and connects into Junon. The main Shinra force that monitors the World Crack is named Edge town but is also the collective name for the smaller bases strung along its edge.

Outside of the main continent where Neo Midgar sits the world is stable but stagnant. There is no longer population growth, yet no decline. Some areas are more prosperous than others either being self sufficient or needing outside resources. As Shinra is now focused more on being a multidimensional company what goes on beyond the walls of Neomidgar become less important. Funding and resources still funnel down to those areas still loyal, but the call of the big city still shines behind the eyes of the youth.

Smaller industries and corporations that either try to ally themselves with Shinra or try to market themselves as Anti-Shinra carve up the lands territories. In reality none of them can exist outside the umbrella of Shinra.

The land is not as lush as the map shows.  Some areas will still have some greenery and be able to produce their own food but other areas will become more desert or even badlands. The Gold Saucer desert will likely expand up to fill in all the green land up to North Corel and extending into the Costa Del Sol Peninsula. That is just an example.

The normal "monsters" and humans on the world would be altered a bit as foreign lifestream has been pumped into the planet for 200 years now to keep it stable.  This has made them more or less altered. Meaning it gives complete freedom in abilities for characters and monsters, as its a built in reason why they would behave differently or use some new abilities.

The World Crack

There is a crack in the world that started to form circa 300 years ago. Over the course of 80 to 100 years Shinra was trying to patch it back together through any means. Portions of the crack you will find multiple construction points of beams and braces trying to hold the sides together or even pull them closer.

The location of the World Crack is not fully solidified but I do suggest that it would rip through more land mass than water.  Starting from "Materia Cave 2" heading west through the continent where Neo Midgar is, ripping through below the Chocobo Farm, Mithril Mine and crossing below Junon. It would then cross through the ocean and rip through the land mass below the Gold Saucer area and roughly stopping above Cosmo Canyon.  It's not a perfect line but I would assume it wouldn't be. This would put the main "Edge Town" near the Junon Area closer to the mountains.

What is not known

The exact companies in each location and how they operate is left open. If its an interesting idea, go with it.

Which areas are more prosperous than others is also left open to imagination. Would Wutai be left barren?; I would vote no simply because of its history with the Dragon Gods of Wutai. Would Cosmo Canyon turn lush and the gongaga area go desert? Also keep in mind that with the world crack the sea levels would be a bit lower as well. The Mideel region is likely no longer just two sliver islands but a true continent on its own.

With that, it's also been hundreds of years, which means that new towns or cities could have been founded. Maybe the Mideel Region is now home to a new group of people that benefited from the life stream pool that rose to the surface 800 years ago. Maybe the North Continent has thawed some? The possibilities are endless really going forward.

Our focus will head into other worlds but the home world still has many stories to tell. I am excited about what we can do on both fronts and with each new member we run across.
