	A project to prevent the ever-decreasing ages of military-service novas, Empyrea is a pristine manmade wonder found in the ~~Arctic~~ ocean, a climate controlled citadel that shows that even disparate forces such as the Teragen and Project Utopia can find themselves cooperating, by virtue of the Teragen's Doctor Primoris and the head of Project Utopia, Margaret A. Mercer.		A project to prevent the ever-decreasing ages of military-service novas, Empyrea is a pristine manmade wonder found in the Atlantic ocean approximately 30 km offshore from Rio de Janeiro, a climate controlled citadel that shows that even disparate forces such as the Teragen and Project Utopia can find themselves cooperating, by virtue of the Teragen's Doctor Primoris and the head of Project Utopia, Margaret A. Mercer.

	In 2025, the investors of the Aeon Society of Philanthropy (renamed from the Aeon Society of Gentlemen, renowned for their actions and their former heroes), chose to fund the most ambitious project yet known to man, finding funds from a half-dozen organizations that they had influence from, paying the most powerful novas who would listen to produce an everlasting symbol of cooperation, unity, and looking ever forward to the future. And so a new nation was born, one where novas could, in theory, learn to achieve their full potential without significant cost, and get away from the endless militarization of novas at ever-younger ages.

	At its heart is the Newfield Academy of Posthuman Development, a school dedicated to teaching the next generation of novas to find their own path, and hopefully become a decent (post?)human being, no matter what their path is or where they go. Its defenders claim that they are reversing the trend of endless nationalistic jingoism and propaganda, the militarization of novas as young as 15, allowing immature young men and women with great talent to discover that talent at their own pace rather than be forced into servitude. Its critics see it as a training camp for a pan-national army that seeks to conquer all in their path. They aren't entirely wrong, as many of its graduates go into Project Utopia, supporting UN resolutions and peacekeeping, or find their way into the Teragen movement for the advancement and improvement of the nova condition and perhaps, in the end, a universal ascension to godhood.

			===Travel To And From===
			Ferries maintain a daily schedule between Empyrea and Rio for large cargo, but most everyday to-and-from travel is done via the hypertensile bridge connecting Empyrea and Rio, stretching the full length between Rio and Empyrea. Not designed for cargo transit, the bridge is more than sufficient for students or staff on holiday or just visiting Rio on weekends.

			As Empyrea is inside international waters a Brazilian visa or other form of access is not necessary to stay in the floating city, but is necessary for entry to and from Rio.

	===The Shield===		===The Shield===
	A powerful quantum force-field generated by a self-healing Device ringing the city, the Shield is a protective bubble which ~~defends~~ Empyrea from ~~the harsh environment right~~ outside~~. Inhabitants can lean right up against the field wearing nothing but a bikini~~, ~~inches away~~ from ~~icebergs, and not feel even the slightest chill~~. The shield also protects from ~~iceberg impact (~~although ~~the reinforced structure of the city itself is rated for any reasonable or ''unreasonable'' impact), lost polar bears, wildlife attacks, and accidentally falling into the arctic water~~.		A powerful quantum force-field generated by a self-healing Device ringing the city, the Shield is a protective bubble which isolated and insulates Empyrea from outside conditions, rated for environments from -100 to 200 C. The shield also protects from various potential threats, although its ability to stand up to human attackers has never been quantified.

	Powered by a self-sustaining quantum siphon and capable of repairing itself, the Shield is intended to last for an eternity.		Powered by a self-sustaining quantum siphon and capable of repairing itself, the Shield is intended to last for an eternity.

	A character gets three types of significant relationships to organizations or people: Beneficial, Neutral, and Adversarial. Neutral relations are largely character fluff and worldbuilding, while both Beneficial and Adversarial relations have game effects. A character may invest multiple relationships into one organization or party, which can result in a strange love-hate relationship, among other things.		A character gets three types of significant relationships to organizations or people: Beneficial, Neutral, and Adversarial. Neutral relations are largely character fluff and worldbuilding, while both Beneficial and Adversarial relations have game effects. A character may invest multiple relationships into one organization or party, which can result in a strange love-hate relationship, among other things. A relationship is basically a one or two sentence description of how this organization or person interacts with your character and affects your character's life. Relationships are ''unique''-investing multiple relationships into the same area modifies and increases the complexity of the relationship between your character and the organization or person in question. The strength of relationships is entirely up to fluff.

	Characters have 8 'points' to split between their beneficial and adversarial relationships, and up to 5 additional neutral relationships. Relationships do not correlate precisely with backgrounds. A relationship may provide more (or much more commonly) significantly less than their equivalent in background dots.

	'''Beneficial Relationships''': Beneficial relationships mean the character gets something good from the relationship. Money, an ally, contacts, influence, global recognition, whathaveyou. Beneficial relationships do not have to be mutually beneficial, nor do they even have to be healthy. Having someone paying you cash under the threat of their life being ruined is technically a beneficial relationship, although that person in question is ''probably'' also an adversary (unless he/she's really spineless). Beneficial relationships may provide the effective equivalents of the Contacts, Cipher, Allies, Mentor, Influence, Resources, and Backing backgrounds. They may also provide backgrounds that do not exist in Aberrant but do in other iterations of the Storyteller system, such as Secret Weapons, Backup, and other weirder things.

The World of Adventure

@@ Line 6: / Line 6: @@
 ==The World of Adventure==
 The World of Adventure! is not entirely our world. In the 1920s to the 1940s, mad science and crazy inventions ran amok, heroes fought against villains on top of war-dirigibles using tesla rays. Nazi Germany had a successful genetic engineering program. In the 1980s, another unexplained explosion of men and women acting beyond mortal ken shaped many incidents in history. But in the thrust of things, everything happened largely the same. There were just more big names, and 80s action movies were more often than not based loosely on true stories.

	~~Something~~ something ~~create people~~ your character ~~knows~~ in ~~or out~~ of ~~Empyrea~~.		A character gets three types of significant relationships to organizations or people: Beneficial, Neutral, and Adversarial. Neutral relations are largely character fluff and worldbuilding, while both Beneficial and Adversarial relations have game effects. A character may invest multiple relationships into one organization or party, which can result in a strange love-hate relationship, among other things.

			Characters have 8 'points' to split between their beneficial and adversarial relationships, and up to 5 additional neutral relationships.

			'''Beneficial Relationships''': Beneficial relationships mean the character gets something good from the relationship. Money, an ally, contacts, influence, global recognition, whathaveyou. Beneficial relationships do not have to be mutually beneficial, nor do they even have to be healthy. Having someone paying you cash under the threat of their life being ruined is technically a beneficial relationship, although that person in question is ''probably'' also an adversary (unless he/she's really spineless).

They may also provide backgrounds that do not exist in Aberrant but do in other iterations of the Storyteller system, such as Secret Weapons, Backup, and other weirder things.

			'''Neutral Relationships''': Neutral relationships are those which provide no significant benefit but also do not provide huge problems. Neutral relationships describe the vast majority of relationships a character will have. However, the listed ones should be only the ''significant'' relationships a character has, long-standing friendships, acquaintances, and even rivals.

			'''Adversarial Relationships''': Adversarial relationships are Bad Things for your character. But for you, they're good, as whenever they come up and ''significantly'' hamper you (or another party member), you (or that party member) gets 1 XP. Adversarial relationships include enemies, bitter rivals, overarching militant conspiracies who stole your girlfriend and shot you in the head, the robber who killed your parents after the opera, feuding rival families, the military of that third world country you pissed off, etc.
