Pulseborn: New Ashton

A cyberpunk roleplay world built in Rec Room. Six districts, countless stories. Welcome to the Gulf's neon heart.

Lore of Pulseborn

Founded in 2031 on the Gulf Coast, New Ashton rose from the ruins of Old New Orleans. Built by Petrochem and Biotechnica, the city became a glowing hub of industry, crime, and corporate power.

Major Corporations

Arasaka, Petrochem, Kang Tao, Biotechnica, and Militech control life in the city, shaping its politics and survival.

New Ashton is a city of contrasts. Neon-lit avenues hum with commerce while hidden alleys shelter fixers, gangs, and netrunners. Corporate towers dominate the skyline, but the underground thrives on illicit tech and covert deals.

The Gulf waters around the city are treacherous. Toxic tides and abandoned wrecks make escape or smuggling risky, and only the clever or ruthless survive long enough to leave a mark.

The Hollow, a flooded undercity, holds relics of the old world. Haunted by forgotten experiments and failed ventures, it's a place few dare to explore, and those who do return with stories that blur myth and reality.

Legends speak of secret corporate experiments that push human augmentation to extremes. Those who've glimpsed these hidden labs rarely speak of them again. Rumors tell of rogue AI, cybernetic cults, and black-market tech that can bend reality--or minds.

Despite its danger, New Ashton attracts dreamers, criminals, and opportunists alike. Every night, neon lights flicker over streets thick with tension, alliances, betrayals, and the pulse of a city that never sleeps.
