Need to update the repo to describe the world - since broadly this is more or less decided. Current repo doesn't convey much information. Whatever is done / decided - let it be put down on paper.

who wants to do it, need it done by tomorrow. @rupam @jasfreaq

Impossible Inc is a space exploration company that conceptualizes, builds operates and maintains extremely large projects [ Mega structures / technology led Data Banks ] The main innovation at Impossible inc is brain power and new material discovery. the brightest and the best brains across the human race aspire to join Impossible Inc, as it plays an important role in extending the boundaries of space for humans.

Getting into impossible inc is very competitive and one needs to graduate via the impossible academy.

There are a number of economies that exist in the world primarily driven by innovation across a. New material discovery [ this supports electronic / new devices / implants / body armor etc ] b. New organism / bio discovery [ this has implications in Food / Terra forming / Medical ] c. New energy source / star / planet discovery d. Software programming / hacking industry, almost everything is controlled usign software and much like the english language, programming is practiced by all. e. Food industry [ needs more thinking ] f. Trading industry [ interplanetory trade ]

Impossible Inc has its own set of enemies, who have an incentive to profit from disrupting the way the world works. These includes a. People who steal augmentations or use it for abilities that are prohibited b. Murderers c. People who run a black market for Weapons and advanced fuel cells d. People who profit from the market by distrupting trade / food supplies etc.

The enemies tend to work covertly and introduce virus programs that are designed to hijack impossibe inc operations.

WHile most enemies are rogue humans, there are some alien enemies who are able to take over a persons mind and completely hijack the brain.

The world is in a new planetory system with 2 stars as the main energy source. Its at a futuristic time where the measurement of time is no longer the 24 hour solar days but in a new unit relative to the new star system. the new day equivalent is 72 hours Human life is now extendable to 300 human years or 100 newworld years. This is possible largely due to the augmentation industry that has allowed humans to replace and enhance organs allowing the brain to survive longer, to be fitter and do things that was not possible earlier.

Nutrition:

We have a couple of appraoches to take with nurtition:

Fictional Food local to the planet: Alot of sci-fi frnachises like star trek and star wars, would introduce multiple planets, each inhabhiting unique flora and fauna which results in different options for food and beverage at different places. (https://www.seriouseats.com/2009/05/a-primer-to-star-trek-food-and-drink.html)
Synthetic Food:

a) Tablets which provide required nutrition
b) Synthetic food which can be prepared ( https://youtu.be/up_glsFGXCg)

Earth like food, replicated to maintain taste: People have tried to replicate earth like food chemically to fill the void of bland food at their new inhibiting planet.

Humanity is still very much a part of the solar system. But the entire solar system is humanity's playground now. Every colonizable planet has been colonized, including means and large enough asteroids. The Dyson Sphere is the most important megastructure that has been built, and humanity is now facing problems of engineering, ie, how to tap the full potential of the Dyson Sphere.
State of AI - AI has evolved over the years as something of a friend to humanity. Both carbon and silicon based lifeforms have flourished. The entire backstory of how we can make this scenario make sense is ready, and I shall share that if the pretext itself makes sense to you first.
Impossible Inc. is one of the most influential technology companies in existence, something akin to Stark tech. It still has his competition of course, both from legitimate companies as well as illegal entities. Basically what Rupam is coming up with for the company.
A solar federation has been setup, the future world's equivalent of UN, which is the largest peacekeeping entity, coordinating the affairs of all the planetary and sub-planetary governments.
This is more with regards to the story than the world, and assumes that our story will span across multiple time periods, spanning across a period of hundreds to maybe even thousands of years. After every time skip the world will differ, and the story elements will focus on how these came about, for example - In the current scenario humanity has conquered the solar system, but not other star systems, or even physically travelled to other galaxies. Let's assume that to do this humanity must build a stellar engine. The plot set in the current time can revolve around the theoretical discoveries as well as the most basic of engineering applications, after which will come the first timeskip. The new time period will focus on humanity finalizing and implementing the first Stellar Engine, after which will come another timeskip. Since using a stellar engine to move the entire solar system obviously requires a lot of time, the period following this timeskip can focus on a team of human's which have left on a mission to scout which star systems will be the most habitable and profitable to go to. After this part ends, following the timeskip we can show a world where humanity has just arrived, with the sun in ow of course, at the destination star system which was discovered and chosen by the human team in the story section preceding it. And so on and so forth.

Now the biggest challenge with this approach is that the same character cannot be our protagonist every time. To solve this problem without alienating the reader's built up interest in the already existing protagonist, I think that the best approach will be one taken by Gabriel García Marquez in A 100 years of Solitude, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The protagonist over the years can belong to the same family, or have some connection with each other than spans generations, say even the protagonist's friend's grandson maybe. The thread tying them all together will the their names, which in A 100 years of solitude was Aureliano and in Jojo's bizarre adventure, well Jojo.

As for the nature of the story itself, different time periods will allow us a lot of flexibility, but for the long run we need to choose a theme, and maybe one or two secondary themes, and stick to it. We can bring and rotate other elements if necessary, but this is the bare minimum requirement to make sure everything feels connected. Now for the main theme, I think that Sid and Rupam's initial approach of a superhero story was spot on, and thus I think the story should be like Flash Gordon, a space Sci fi Uber an character to be specific. The second theme we can consider is the Future of AI, a topic which has huge consequences for us as a species in the upcoming days, and that's the real world problem we should focus on in our story, as a way to both spread general awareness about it, and create a game which actually discusses an important modern issue.

OUR WORLD:

Star system:

Humans now live on a planet called Utopia in a Binary star system called Bysol. Each star is half the size of the sun, 5 million kilometers apart and orbit around each other. They are named Ra and Chi. Ra has a surface temperature of 3500K and Chi 2500K. Bysol has 5 planets in total- Apex, Utopia, Noah, Loca, and Pinnacle. Apex is the closest planet to the stars and also unhabitable. Apex rotates at the same speed at which it revolves around Ra-chi, hence receiving heat from the stars only on one side. The other 4 planets have been made habitable by humans. Utopia is the only planet naturally capable of having an atmosphere.

[ Is there any Satellites are there ] ( Rupam - Feel there should be 2-5)

Time:

Utopia takes 3 times more to rotate around itself compared to Earth's 24hour day. People have adapted to this over the years and managed to adjust their lives around it. People work and sleep longer, but they find it very normal now. 1hr = 180mins 1min = 180sec To make things simpler people have developed a system where symbols are used to convey time.

** Weather System **

[ Decision : Is the weather system natural or modified ? ] ( - Modified - Save some harm) [ Is there anything harmful in the weather system ? ] ( harm ( small time) ) [ What is the cycle like ? one dangerous Season / one dry + Avalanche / One wet + rocks / [ Is there any ocean or lakes ] ( yes / what percentage ? ) ] [ Any rare events ] ( linked to the eclipse )

Math for the eclipse

Planet and People:

Our home planet is Utopia. It has a gravitational pull of 10m/s2, a diameter of 16000km, and a rotational speed of 334 miles/h. Utopia being slower, compared to the earth's rotational speed of 1000 miles/h, takes 72 hours to complete one full rotational cycle. People have developed a new time system based on this difference using a combination of symbols and numbers.

This planet has been entirely conceived, erected and monitored by a generation of technologically driven beings that are constantly looking at leveraging the power of technology to improve the quality of life, maximize the use of scarce natural resources in an environment-friendly manner, ensure zero carbon footprint and most importantly improve upon and augment the physical capabilities of the human being. Imagine. We are talking about a world where the average life span of an individual is 250 years thanks to the fact that the number of hours per day is 3 times more than of the earth. There is a high amount of efficiency in every conscious activity because the beings here can use 25% of the brain as compared to an average of 10% on earth. The beings here have also been incessantly working with technology to explore how they could magnify the physical capabilities of their body, augment or replace if required, any part of their physical body to ensure that they always stay perfectly fit, physically able and highly efficient.

Impossible Inc:

Impossible Inc is a highly intelligent, technology-driven infrastructure conglomerate that has the expertise and financial muscle to setup massive megastructures in space that are completely powered by solar energy. Using superior technology, they have successfully managed to create gigantic shields (Dyson swarm) that have the capability of completely absorbing, storing and channelizing the energy from Ra-chi. The energy thus channelized is routed to its headquarters situated in space- a massive cloud city (similar to Bespin in Star Wars or Zalem in Alita) connected to the planet by a single-pole like structure made up of a unique metal that has not been known to man. This acts like a conduit through which energy harnessed from the sun is calibrated and channelized with ultimate precision to the entire planet non-stop.

Metals:

The chief metal that is mined on Utopia is a superhard, highly energy-absorbing metal called Obriydian. This metal when sintered to a carbon polymer forms Obriydian Carbide(OC) which is a chemical compound with an extremely high melting point of 10,000K. This compound mixed with other superhard metals put together with nanotechnology is what is used by Impossible Inc to create their megastructures. The Dyson Swarm is built using this technology. Other high-end augmentation megacorporations use Obriydian to create augments for both personal and military use.

Megastructures:

OJAS:

Impossible Inc named the energy derived from Ra-Chi as Ojas to signify energy in its purest form - brilliant, unadulterated and extremely powerful. This energy is stored in their headquarters in the cloud city, in highly advanced and intelligent batteries each having the capacity to store within it 1million MWh of electricity a month. This energy is further supplied through specially engineered golden cables that carry this power seamlessly to every user on the planet. The power infrastructure that supports this supply across the planet is an engineering and technological marvel that works on advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence to suit every kind of use. A unique feature of this energy medium is that it also powers all those people using augments. Each such person powers the movement and functioning of his/her augmented part with the help of a specially designed intelligent power cell kit that is embedded on the persons back. It understands fully the augment that it is powering, its capabilities and its functionalities.

open items that came to mind

How does a day look in this planet: how does the 72 hour pan out
If you look up at the sky from this planet what color is the sky ? Can you see the other planets ( like the moon are thes big or small ( like mars ) to the naked eye
What are the seasons like ? is there a concept of a year ? how is years calculated - is it called something else?
Character of each season ( rain storm sunny, electro magnitic storms etc which are the hazards from a natural climate perspective.
Link between food to oclimate system
Link between human augmentations to natural phenomenan ( ability to detect an earthquake or tornadoe or magnetic storm or virus in people )

@parik move your comment to a doc, so i can review it and merge it if required

this issue still needs more work, but from my side and @jasfreaq

continue to use this issue but now for timeline
