City outline, just for the heck of it.

[Aerozord]

Although the idea came from an artist request, I wanted to get my ideas down and work through a few things. See what people think, ect. In the setting the big powers are city-states. So although a single city it is completely independent and self contained.

Motto: "Burn bright, die young"

Daily Life: The Zeppel believe life is all too brief. The average citizen completely lacks any concept of long term effects of their actions. Most of the other major cities view this as immature, though they cannot comprihend why others are so concerned with how things will be long after their deaths. To them all that matters is the now, however their belief in the ultimate futility of life leaves a nagging sense of depression. Combined this leads most of their culture to lose themselves in life. Sex, rad-killing unicorn motorcycles, thrill seeking, drinking, are all fairly common place. Zeppel is the city for those that love to party, however in contrast they also work hard. The motivation to earn more to party harder leads to a suprisingly high productivity.

Goverment: In contrast to the lower-class continual celebrations the ruling class is suprisingly docile. Rather their nihilistic views extend to the point they view even revelling in excess to be meaningless. Thus instead they lose themselves in their work. Sacrificing their own personal pleasure to keep the societies self-destructive tendencies from taking down the city as whole. For this reason accending to the ruling class is in fact effortless, but requires the citizen to take up the life-style more simular to that of a monk. Thus removing most of the reasons people strive for goverment positions in other cities.

Arcitecture Like the society the aestetics take sharp contrasts. The towering and prestine spires at first glance show off a level or prosperity and excess. However these towers also block out the sky and especially at night give a sense of intimidation that further instills a sense of insignifigance

Technology Their lack of concern for long term effects has led to a booming industry of bio-modifications and rad-killing unicorn motorcycles as well as low level medicine as a result. Some of these performance enhancing technologies are wonderous scientific marvels. However many have side-effects, some that argueably outweigh the perks.
