After the Fourth Great Shinobi World War ended, the world was experiencing a time of peace. The villages for once were able to live in relative harmony with one another as they rebuilt, and for once, all seemed to be well. The kage were able to live peaceful lives and soon began retiring, passing on the baton to the next generations. That is until an unknown virus infects the northern coast. The first to fall is the once powerful Raikage, Ay. While many thought this virus was a simple mutation of what may have well been the flu, no one would ever think of the destruction it would cause. Especially when it infected a certain Uzumaki Naruto.
With his death came the malice; with the malice came the destruction; with the destruction came the shinobi' revolt; and with the revolt came the sacrifices. The Bijuu became filled with malice that they sought to destroy the world. Shinobi sought a way to fight them and once again capture each of the Bijuu. Time passed, and a plan was devised. The Jinchuuriki would be sacrificed for the greater good of the world, and with the deaths of nine individuals, an uneasy peace began.
As time continued, the villages began to truly restructure. In a peace that would last 80 years after the downfall of the Bijuu, the world would see the creation of a great many things. Technology was beginning to take root and before long the blossoms that grew from the tree of the advanced mind would bear fruit. A many great things came to be. A railroad between the vast many nations. Mechanical limbs to replace lost ones. Radios that could reach between villages. Everything seemed to be becoming less reliant on the shinobi. Only the need for them never truly vanished. As with the growth of time, also continued the growth of malice.
Los Angeles, California. The second largest metropolitan area in the United States with nearly four million residents within the city proper and over 18 million represented in the Greater Los Angeles Area. It's a bustling hub of international commerce, cutting edge technology, and the arts. Millions flock to the City of Angels in hopes of catching just a piece of the glitz and glamor romanticized in countless works. But just beneath the glossy veneer lies a truth far from the bright lights of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Residents struggle to get by under the watchful eye of corrupt corporations allowed to grow out of control. Deadly gangs roam the streets looking for another victim. Tech-savvy hackers plug into a virtual reality network to play a deadly game of cat and mouse. Technology infused mercenaries await their next orders. And through it all, the over-matched, outgunned law enforcers desperately try and keep the peace.
Welcome to Pandora's Gambit, a world where nothing is at it seems. In a city engaged in a brutal power struggle between the corporations vying for power, the gangs looking for a name, and the syndicates demanding respect, the game has changed. New tools have been introduced to the wars being fought not only on the streets, but in board rooms and back alleys.
Thanks to a revolutionary discovery the melding of human tissue and robotic technology is commonplace. While once reserved for military use, cyberware has steadily grown into the private sector for use in medical procedures, commercial applications, and personal security. Bodyguards with metal limbs, reporters with robotic eyes, and even regular folk with synthetic organs are no longer seen as fiction. With just a few medical procedures one can become stronger, faster, and more deadly than anything the world has seen before. But the price to be paid for such power goes beyond monetary.
The miraculous Pandora Chip brought the world of technology to life. By simply implanting the device into their brain, one can jack into a virtual reality world the likes of which had only thought to be the work of science fiction. Hackers invade this virtual world hoping to gain control of the networks and resources within. The technology is still new. Still in its developmental stages but a culture has already sprouted around it. Once jacked into the Net one can do anything, go anywhere. The only limits are their imaginations. And the hardware of their system.
So what will you be? A refined corporate raider looking for the next investment? A slick hacker riding the bleeding edge of technology? A metal-infused mercenary looking for their next payday? Or maybe a local cop trying to keep the innocent safe. Or even simply someone who's just trying to make sense of it all while struggling to make it through the next day. The choice is yours.
