lore:

It’s the near future, just a few years after the infamous Leiven Weight Classification Chart sequence, since then Azalea Staukas has only grown more and more, she had to be broken out of her apartment over structural concerns (she was like 65 tons) and relocated into a concentrated growth chamber in east Ranzithyl.

The mental burden of being an immobile blob with no escape or capabilities of human connection had visibly taken a real toll on Azalea, and the research team, foreseeing this size as being everyone else’s future, quickly got to work.

Neural Reality, or NeR as they call it, is an artificial consciousness developed by REIMA Technologies, it is capable of uploading one’s entire being into a digital form, translating thoughts into speech, movement and action in the case an individual can’t do it by themselves anymore, even input actions performed by one’s digital self, such as eating, are felt.

NeR comes in the form of a headset with some partial cranial embedding, once hooked, the individual can basically live whichever way they please, they can join VR worlds or even live amongst the real world using hovering holographic projection.

Azalea uses it to give guided tours of her enclosure, turns out being an over 3,500 metric ton warehouse-filling blob can be quite the tourist attraction!
