Welcome to New Tokyo! It's intense. Everything's moving. The city's crowded. Bustling. It's dirty. The trash that hasn't been embedded into the asphalt by thousands of vehicles and feet or trapped into the millions of nooks and crannies, blows around freely. The only clean areas are owned by the Corporations. Toss something on the ground there and expect to explain to an officer in an armored Corporate uniform why you willfully spit in the ambiguous Corporate face. The skies are always overcast. Darkened by pollution and storm clouds. It rains frequently. The days the screamsheets claim are sunny are really just a brackish haze.

Technology is on the bleeding edge. If it's flashy, complicated, or gimmicky, it's what's trendy. For now. Biotechnology has brought us cloning, genetic engineering, broad-spectrum antibiotics and antitoxins, and retroviruses. Cybertechnology is available, if you can afford it. If you can't, you can always find it used, and the used stuff works the same as the new, right? Nanotechnology is still relatively new. It's still mainly used on a single-purpose basis.

Everything's retrofitted to everything else. Old buildings give way to new. Some new buildings are just glued onto existing crumbling structures. Buildings at the heart of the city seem to keep growing; taking up entire city blocks and hundreds of stories tall. Forgotten neighborhoods decay into crime and disease.

Crime is at an all-time high. So are deaths. When individuals are insignificant in the wash of bodies, life is meaningless. Drugs are easy to get. Many of the special-purpose engineered drugs have become quasi-legalized and are usually labeled "designer drugs". Those that aren't legal can usually found by walking out your front door.

Welcome to New Tokyo. Watch your back.
