Ascendia

"'Growing up on Ascendia, I spent every day fighting for scraps. You'd better find a way off that planet, unless you're rich and live in the Empire State. Nobody wants to grow old and die of lung rot,'""-Quote by Daisy, Skydweller Courier"

Overview
Ascendia is the world of the Skydwellers.

Contains mountains which rise above a smog-covered planet surface. Skydweller society exists in a period similar to Earth during the 1920s. The rich live in large cities with elaborate parties and festivities. Meanwhile, the poor live in smog and work to make GalCreds to survive.

Skydwellers are a race of beings who resemble birds and have powerful psychic abilities. They are also known for being survivalists and cunning politicians. Adventurers of this variety enjoy the ability to maneuver faster and jump farther.

Key Locations

 * Barren Fields: where toxic waste is buried and mysterious fights take place. Think hunger games with more random garbage and ominous smog-filled fields.
 * Imperialus: a city above smog clouds filled with rich and prosperous Skydwellers. Those residing in this city do not know the hardship of those who reside below in the Smog Shambles.
 * Glowing Mountain: a mountain beyond the Empire State and Smog Shambles that is hidden behind smog clouds. It's rumored to have a fusion-reactor fueled power plant at the top which constantly emit toxic fumes and radiation.
 * Plastic Beach: a beach near Glowing Mountain where mutant creatures afflicted by radiation roam. They aren't friendly.
 * Smog Shambles: Beneath the Empire State live the impoverished population in makeshift housing (i.e. tents, shacks, etc). Many spend their life aspiring to soar above the clouds but never leave the ground below.

NPCs

 * Daisy: a Skydweller courier that travels the galaxy and delivers important parcels. Her current employer is unknown.
 * Feathers: a Skydweller insurrectionist who plots to overthrow those in power within the Empire State.
 * Gray Owl: a highly popular figure, quite possibly a myth. This Skydweller is rumored to operate in the shadows to better the lives of the less fortunate.

Relics

 * Bomb Collar: a tool used in the Barren Fields to make fighters be more obedient to the desires of their captors.
 * The Watcher: a special trophy given to an individual who has won the Ascendian Games.

Quests

 * Ascendian Games: in an era of great prosperity, the rich thrive off of the poor. Some "benefactors" like to sponsor certain individuals to fight in the Ascendian Games in attempt to win the fabled Watcher trophy. Winners of the Ascendian Games live elaborate lifestyles, but at what cost?
