STACKS OF ARKADIA

🔺SLAVATION - . . 🛰️🇷🇺🇺🇸SALVATION INT🇬🇧🇨🇳🛰️ The Salvation International was a joint venture between NASA, CNSA, ROSCOSMOS, ESA, ISRO, and JAXA. This historic and momentous undertaking began in the late 21st century to strengthen ties during times of war and to ensure governmental expansion into space. Private industry had already pioneered innovations in space-based solar power and asteroid mining. The ever-increasing allure of high-orbit living meant an ever-increasing need for territory agreements. The Salvation International meant more than a hall of judicial power; to most people, it symbolized hope for humanity. - . . N E W . M U S I C . O U T .

🔺Dead Space - . . 🪦 🪦 🪦 No room for a tombstone in Arkadia. Executors are faced with one of two options. The first option is to pay for a storage container for partial remains, which varies in price depending on amenity requirements set by the administrator. The second option is to pay for shipping to STACK 3 (payment for shipping is not optional) and a small tax doled out to the next of kin for mortuary fees. - . . N E W . M U S I C . O U T .

🔺Core Concept - The Ark Initiative 🛰️🚀👩🏽‍🚀🚀🛰️ 2241 Mankind was met with the realization that life on Earth was longer sustainable after the geological and environmental attacks of the 22nd century. Fresh water had become increasingly scarce, and the climate had become erratic, creating weather that threatened more than coastal cities. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) had nearly halted, raising sea levels dramatically. The many wars for land and resources had collapsed the global economy more times than markets could recover from. AI was transformative in keeping the geopolitical environment stable but was soon deemed untrustworthy after massive military intervention. The most disruptive and disturbing aspect of the last generation on Earth was the failing electromagnetic field, threatening mankind itself. The Ark Initiative was set forth in 2241 as the final act of peace and was soon adopted throughout all cultures harmoniously. Thirteen arks would be built to navigate to our two nearest habitable planets, while one would stay on Earth. - #writersofinstagram #cyberculture #scifiwriter #cyberpunkstyle (at Cyberpunk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDbfvrs6xH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔺8th Side - STACK 8 🏢☁️🏭☁️🏢 A place of feuding corporate interests and dull uniformity. ☁️💧☁️💧 STACK 8, was designed for airspace. Unlike all other STACKS, The 8th adopts more of a grid plan for Ariel flight. (Flying Vehicles) A vertical city of airways and rusted platforms. ☁️💧☁️💧 There is no shuttle line here and their mechanical levels are above behind their skybox. Eroding infrastructure and faulty makeshift wiring keeps springing leaks in the worn pipelines overhead. The showers can be considered aesthetically pleasing but are extremely carcinogenic. ☁️💧☁️💧 The manufacturing district has little room for leisure aside from a few seedy bars. The obsession of status and what’s visually striking breeds prejudice, but also a social pressure to the corporate path to order. This is not to say crime isn’t prevalent. Even murder isn’t uncommon but to dwell on such unpleasantries is frowned upon. ☁️💧☁️💧 Ground level was visible once, now plastered with holographic projections and Index portals. The few dark spots of urban waste are home to camps of The Banned. (See post tilted People of The Banned) ☁️💧☁️💧 From a boy, the goal is to earn your way to STACK 9. Consumerism is something one should be proud of on STACK 8. What else keeps the rings shifting? ☁️💧☁️💧 The latest gadget or blinking what’s-it is a must have to stand out from your peer group. They believe themselves lower than the elite class but deem their culture superior to most of Arkadian society. - Art by @gm_work - Stacks of Arkadia is an cyberpunk audio experience, we’re dedicated to immersive storytelling.

🔺THE HOT PINKS - 💋 An all female (or identified female) gang primarily operating out of the 7th Stack of Arkadia. 💄 They are not to be underestimated. Their base of operations is one of the most well known clubs on Stack 7, named appropriately, Hot Pink. 👛 Despite their name their leadership often wears dull unrevealing clothing. The dancers they hire however like to stand out. 👙 Factions have split into different crews adopting various noble causes to shed blood over. The one thing that unites them is common hatred for both Gangs and Arkadians themselves. You can expect a good time at Hot Pink just don’t expect good service. Can’t miss their symbiotic HP tagged in Neon Pink ink. - PLEASE USE AUDIO IN ANY #cyberpunk CONTENT 🙏 WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT 🎶🦾🎶 New Game - Single by Stacks Of Arkadia https://music.apple.com/us/album/new-game-single/1673673185 - Art by @gm_work - #retrocyberwave #cyberculture #cyberpunkmusic #newmusic (at Cyberpunk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-SAKmL_he/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔺The Heru Clan 👑 - If there was a gang that could represent street excellence it would be The Heru Clan. They supply the majority of the muscle and infrastructure for smuggling The Mod’s goods on the 7th. Their alliance with The Mods make them a dominant economic power at the street level. 🟪 Make no mistake, even without The 8 mods backing them, The Heru’s are a force to be reckoned with. Widely respected for their entertainment labels, nightclubs and overall soft power. Whatever The Heru is pushing is the standard on what’s cool or culturally fashionable. ◼️ They break down into numerous sets on many different rings from the center ringlets to The Trims. They have many leaders, infighting is common. Purple, Black and gold are the colors that represent them but their members are never afraid to wear something loud. - New Game - Single by Stacks Of Arkadia https://music.apple.com/us/album/new-game-single/1673673185 - #retrocyberwave #cyberculture #cyberpunkmusic (at Cyberpunk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp773XlrGEC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔺The 8 Mods - The 8 Mods - (The Mods) 👨🏽‍✈️🧑🏼‍✈️👩🏾‍✈️👨🏻‍✈️👩🏻‍💼👨🏿‍💼👩🏻‍💼👩🏽‍💻 Eight men and women are said to be the leaders of this shadow organization. Coincidentally all eight have ties to various R.Kade Corporation subsidiaries. Whenever one kills the other, the position is replaced in a system that ensures longevity. They handle the drugs, gambling and prostitution of Stack 8 and supply Stack 7 with high-end materials for criminal enterprise. They’re also responsible for anything their investors want done. This could mean so many things depending on the industry but usually this means keeping the 7th in line. Deep pockets, yes, but a deeper commitment to silence. They have no colors or known credo. The only thing people really need to know is don’t cross paths with The Mods. - N E W . M U S I C . O U T .

🔺Music In The Air - . . 🎶📻🎶 PLAIR 🎶📻🎶 Plair offers a simple approach to the musical landscape of Arkadia. They provide songs without holographic content, streaming data, sonic customization, or the ability to choose what you hear next. 🔘🎧🔘 They never run ads, but even if they did, they couldn't compete with a DiscJo advertising team's budget or expertise. The classic approach still garners listeners who want to relive their glory days.

🔺Do the Math - . . 🧮 The Red Streak 🔴(The R.S)⚫️ This is a digital powerhouse of talented coders, hackers, and streakers. Mostly strategy-based gamers, renegade ex-corporate programmers, and software engineers make up the leaders of this giant, anonymous dark web. They have their hands in everything, and only the lords know what files they’ve seen. Physical violence is not their forte, but they are extremely deadly. They mostly work for other organizations, providing the means to access classified information. They detest bad advertising and leave their mark on any screen they can safely access. ➕Their credo “Do the Math”➖ They are a menace to corporations and gangs but a powerful ally when needed. They deal in corporate espionage, blackmail, and identity theft. A pulsating red streak on the screen is their calling card, but if you've been targeted, you most likely will never know. - The rumor on the founding of this infamous organization revolves around a woman who was refused bathroom access and later the right to give birth.

🔺Life Needs A Cage - . - Stacks of Arkadia, a story of #ai crime and punishment #🎧 . : 👯‍♂️👨🏼‍🎤The Rez - (Reeps) The Rez have a shady history and are known for their controversial and ruthless nature. Their constant attempts to overthrow the balance of drug markets on STACK 7 have earned them few allies. However, over the decades, they have grown and gained more public support, especially since Chord Zed became a notable name. Lead singer "ZED" was never a gang leader, but his loud signal made him a player in the gang's hierarchy. - Little is known about how they operate as an organization, but they are known to handle corporate bounties discreetly. They also offer protection to anyone with XP. They run an independent drug operation with The Cycle Knots and usually stay out of sight, allowing no combination of colors to represent their movement. - Being a member of The Rez has a mysterious allure, but they still seem like a death cult to most inhabitants of Arkadia, including fans of the massive band, Chord Zed. They are obsessed with literature on death and the afterlife, and their noticeable interests include hallucinogenic mycelium and ancient fauna. The Rez are considered to be a counter culture movement for youthful admirers who believe that the world of Arkadia is a lie, and that the truth lies in the interconnectivity of a greater consciousness without a physical form. - Ruthless violence combined with a sense of spirituality is what defines them. They usually dress in black, and their credo is "Life needs a cage." The Rez prefer to be called by the name of their Rebirth, the term "Reep" is a term of disdain among them so watch who you say it around. - . . - - Pre- Save “New Game” Our music video captures a main event in the story!

🔺People of The Banned - . - 🚫 The Banned 🚫 Arkadians are raised interfacing with The Phlo network. A neural implant is required one year after birth. When access to AI aids and social stimulation is removed, the world instantly feels like a darker place. Social isolation is just one aspect of psychological trauma. - As heard in Episode five, bans are mostly used for disciplinary action by Kade or Ethereal Management. R.Kade does not take kindly to the modding community. Any additional code or code modifications will result in permanent bans. Most offenses or breaches of the Phlo community guidelines, however, revolve around temporary bans. 👻 - Also known as "Ghosts", a member of The Banned is a humanoid glob of glitch matter. Certain apparel can be seen to give them shape, but they are shadows, and Arkadians are accustomed to ignoring. - . . . - Pre- Save “New Game” blending Hip-Hop and the current cyberpunk sound to represent the story and world of Arkadia - Downloadable March 17th ☘️ 👇⚠️👇 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/stacksofarkadia/new-game-3?utm_source=SendGrid&utm_medium=Email+&utm_campaign=website - . .

🔺Stack 4 - . . - Q: What is Arkadia exactly? I mean, I get that you’re doing a immersive audio thing, but is the setting itself, a city? . A: Yes and No 🌎Earth:3054 Arkadia, a subterranean Arcology supporting descendants of the Surface Wars. (Scroll Down for more Lore ) - 🏚️🏭STACK 4🏭🏚️ ———————————— STACK is for electrical and mechanical management. It’s where the fusion core is located along with a hub of main arteries of the power and life supply systems. 🚽 It is also known to smell as pleasant as the level above (STACK 3) due to the troubled inhabitants that call it home. 25% of the people who live on the stack above (stack5) are trained for years to work the 4th and an additional 25% are trained to provide them with security on send outs. These jobs for Kade are sought after and have a certain nobility compared to most job opportunities below STACK 8 but it is extremely dangerous. ⚠️ It was originally designed to house the workers and management of facilities but the homelessness crisis of both STACK 4 and STACK 5 buckled the people's will to live on Stack 4. It soon became a heaven for the fringe elements of society and the mentally ill. The work still must be done on Stack 4 though, that is if people want to keep the lights on and the water following. 🚧🗜️⚙️🚧 ————— Home to: 🤡The HA HA’s It’s hard to separate fact from fiction with The Ha Ha’s. Most people agree that they were born out of the 4th’s failures. The leading theory is that the founders of these murderous anarchists were the first people of The Banned. Donning facial wear and barley considered human to those who see the gruesome victims they leave behind. Multi colored polka dots are usually left spattered around the mess they leave behind. If you see some coloful paint ball splatteres in an alleyway you find yourself in, it’s a good sign you’re F#%*ed.

🔺Sink or Sim - . . 🧱 - 🕹️👾STACK 6👾🕹️ STACK 6 Is a mix of residential flats, secondary offices, manufacturing plants and privately leased places of business. 🛖📹🛖 👾This is where R.Kade relies on inhabitants of STACK 6 to remotely operate the servicers, drones, ariels and play-bots of the lower levels. 👾The level directly below STACK 6 (S7) rarely see’s the handy work of R.Kade aside from the R&R time for high earners in outdated Play-Bots. This labor is a form of augmented reality and marketed as entertainment. To the player, a high speed chase through halo ring of Jupiter, in reality, a 8th sider needed a ride for a dinner date. No one the wiser. Sure the AI dose most the work, but it’s the busy work that counts for QP! (Qualifier Points) 🪙 👾Most of the center ringlets are a dingy, over policed area filled with hand me down equipment retrofitted for practical use. “You can find anything on STACK 6“ is a common phrase due to the amount of specialty workers that repair or build custom items out of used appliances or salvaged gear. The dystopian aspects of Arkadia as well as Kade Corp security forces are on full display here, almost everywhere you look, a “Eye of Arkadia” looks back at you. - Fun fact, the Red Eye of a Kade Corp officer is not just a symbol of power. It’s capable of highly sophisticated scans and date retrieval. But mostly used to fine Arkadians out of hard earned XP.
