Taranova

"PopFunk's Greatest Hits, coming soon to a retailer near you!""-Taranovan News Bulletin, Central News"

Overview
Taranova is the world of the Humans.

This planet is very similar to modern day Earth with a few differences. All of the different countries of Earth have united under one banner and adopted the Taranovan ways. Most have urbanized and developed cities - there are few uninhabited areas, overpopulation is rampant. Whether they did this of their own volition, or if they were forced into this agreement, is another matter for consideration.

Humans are a stubbornly persistent race, one that is not easily turned away from their goals. They have a diverse array of technology - some believe that, while they exist in a modern era, there are Taranovan factions that hide highly advanced weapons should a war among worlds surface.

Key Locations

 * Central News: the corporate headquarters for Central News, a media outlet that holds vast sway over the opinions of the general public. People sometimes whisper that CN is controlled by the government. These people often disappear.
 * Highland Park: a park in the middle of the largest Taranovan city. This park keeps plants alive with air purifiers - scientists claim that the park has the freshest air on Taranova. Performances for Popfunk sometimes take place here.
 * Suburbia: nicknamed after Suburbs, a type of settlement in the old Taranovan days, this area of Taranova consists of a few preserved neighborhood-style houses and a lot of warehouses within close proximity.

NPCs

 * Angel: the lead singer of the band PopFunk, a band that the media likes to broadcast on all channels when protests or insurrections occur. PopFunk is extremely popular in all sectors of society - so much so that people would rather go to one of their concerts than a riot. Angel is kind hearted to the behest of her father.
 * Brad: Angel's ex-bf, a guitarist, and (supposedly) an assassin for the Taranovan military. He's prone to fits of anger and does not accept that Angel doesn't want to be with her any more.
 * Orwell: a rumor, purported to be a single man who holds sway over the entire Taranovan government. His influences can be seen in multiple different governments - some say he is as shrewd and cunning as an ESRU.

Relics

 * CN Dossier: a collection of documents, hidden deep within Central News, that is purported to expose the current Taranovan government for a number of atrocities.
 * PopFunk Figurines: they say that if you collect all five (one for each band member) you'll earn a free backstage pass for any single upcoming PopFunk Concert. They come with different outfits, and there's a new season released before each concert!

Quests

 * A Walk In The Park: PopFunk is soon to host their latest concert in Highlander Park on Taranova. Society has been uneasy since the shadowy presence known as Orwell became Prime Minister. Will details of the fabled Dossier come to life in the wake of a shady insurrectionist group?
