 Preface
It all started with fiery ambition and a voyage to the clouds.

After years of turmoil on the planet Ilustrium, a woman named Mildred Garfield decided to create their own country
in a part of the world that was near uninhabitable. After decades, plant and wildlife flourished across a beautiful plain,
and small villages and cities were erected that acted as their own communities with their own laws and cultures.

Things went well until a man from the larger nation, one Alfred Lancaster, sent a small military force to wipe out the
seceded nation by any means necessary. Mildred knew this would occur, of course, and at it's founding, Nimbus City
was equipped with rockets that was powered by vapors in the sky to power its engines and would ascend into the sky if
threatened by the outside world. As tanks and horses lined the outer rim of Nimbus City, Mildred commanded the
Great Ascension, and thus the city soared into the clouds above, leaving Alfred and his military in a cloud of dust.

Mildred acted as the Grand Duke of Nimbus City, and led her people into a cultural and intellectual renaissance that
lasted until her death. After her passing, there was great debate on who would become the ruler of Nimbus City, until a
coup held by a mysterious man wiped out the past occupation of all of Mildred's subjects. The ruler was none other
than Jacques Lancaster, the son of Alfred, and thus he claimed to be Grand Duke of Nimbus City. His forces segregated
the people of Nimbus City by class, and corporations that saw a power vacuum took the mantles of Advisory Council to
the Grand Duke.

Hundreds of years have passed since that moment. The Trans-Atlantic Trade Corporation, as of the 400th year after
the First Succession of the Lancasters, have majority power over the council, and have slithered their way into law
creation and policing the masses. Their efforts have funded great technological feats that were only sectioned for the
wealthier class, such as Tesla technology, nuclear-steam powered machinery, and the moon base Lancaster Prime
where only the wealthy reside, and is said to be a heavenly paradise in the stars.

The people below Lancaster Prime are stuck to the surface of Nimbus City, floating alongside masses of smog that has
arisen from the Underworld. There is a great restlessness, and due to this, gangs have arisen, revolutions have been
plotted, and heroes and villains have been born.

What mark will you make upon this city amongst the clouds?

On Rules, Systems, and Lore in this Handbook

In this handbook, there are only recommendations. There is no set lore, settings, people, or history to Tales from the
Aerosphere or Nimbus City. If there are things, rules, perks, items, weapons, or CogWare that you want to alter,
remove, or add, please do so. This system by no means is perfect as of 1st Edition, so please make the game as
enjoyable for yourself and your players in any way you, as Game Master, sees fit.

Dice and Rolling

In Tales from the Aerosphere, all types of dice are used (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, and 100 sided dice), but all Trait checks and
accuracy checks (whether you hit an enemy or not) are all done using a d20. Dice sides are denoted by a "d" and then a
number. For example, a d20 is a 20 sided die, a d12 is a 12 sided die, a d6 is a 6 sided die, and so on. To the left of the
dice side number, there usually is a number to denote how many dice need to be rolled using that certain die. For
example, "1d20" denotes that to make this roll, you need one 20 sided die. "2d20" denotes that you need two 20 sided
die, and 3d12 means you need three 12 sided die to make that roll.

You may also roll with Advantage or Disadvantage. Advantage means that you roll two dice and choose the highest
number out of the two. Disadvantage means you must roll two dice and choose the lowest number. In Tales from the
Aerosphere, Advantage and Disadvantage compound and subtract one another. This means that if you have perks that
let you roll multiple times for Advantage, you add an additional d20 die and choose the highest number. Disadvantage
is the same, where you roll one additional die and choose the lowest out of the rolls. If you are disadvantaged, an
advantaged roll cancels it out as well.

You will have to roll for many things, such as whether an attack hits or misses, to succeed a Trait check, or to
determine a certain random outcome. Be sure to add or subtract any modifiers you have for these types of rolls. These
modifiers are granted by leveling up, perks, items, and random status effects, so be sure to know what Traits do what
and what bonuses/debuffs you have with your character.

 How to play (2)
Levelling

In Tales from the Aerosphere, there is no experience levelling option. Instead, in this edition, it is purely up to the
digression of the GM then and how players level up. Ways to level up can include succeeding in missions/quests,
roleplaying well, eliminating enemies, ending a session, or simply just by having fun.

Each level, you are granted an additional point to place in any Trait you desire (not exceeding +5 by levelling). Your
items/perk bonuses do NOT impact the Trait points acquired by creating your character or levelling, so ignore those
numbers when levelling up.

Every 2 levels (2, 4, 6, etc.), you are granted a roll of 3d2 for additional HP (Health Points).

Every 3 levels (3, 6, 9, 12, etc.) grants 5 additional points to take Perks with.

Perks are, as previously stated, acquired through levelling up. Each point matches the stat requirement needed for
each Perk. For example, if a Perk requires +5 Sharpshooting, choosing that perk uses 5 points, leaving you with no
points left.

There is also no level cap or maximum level in Tales from the Aerosphere, but be careful; more Perks means more to
keep up with.

Death Saves
Dying young and violently is a natural occurrence in Nimbus City. In Tales from the Aerosphere, when your HP
reaches zero, you will have to succeed a roll of 10 or above using 1d20 to survive after going unconscious. To give you a
bonus to survive, you add any bonuses to your Willpower to help you survive. If someone heals you, you automatically
revive, but otherwise, you will have to wait an hour to awaken. Each time your character goes unconscious after being
revived, you roll with a -3 to your Death Saves until you have a long rest. Once you fail the throw, you are dead.
Handling death as a GM may be handled in any way they see fit.

 How to play (3)
Combat

In Tales from the Aerosphere, it is very easy to die. The world around you is ruthless, and will stop at nothing to see you
in the ground. In order to survive all of your encounters, it is imperative that you and your allies strategize.

Each round of combat in Tales from the Aerosphere lasts about 4 seconds. This time limit means that your character can
only make two Actions. Actions can be shooting or striking with a weapon, reloading a weapon, moving, speaking,
using an item, jumping, pushing, tackling, and throwing items/weapons. Movement is determined, in combat, using
a 1d6 dice roll to determine how many tiles (diagonally, horizontally, or vertically) you will move on the map, while
also adding/subtracting the total with any Perks, CogWare, or items that may impact your overall movement. You
cannot go lower than 1 movement. Perks can increase your action amount, but as a default, only two Actions are
available to each character. With these Actions, you may use them in any order, as well as multiple times (not
exceeding your Actions limit). You can shoot twice, move twice, use an item twice, and all the other Actions twice, or
once, in a turn as a baseline. You may also React by using an action before an enemy strikes you to add your AR +
Reflexes modifier to dodge an attack, attack after their attack on you, or use an item. You must roll a 10 or above to
successfully React to an enemies movement. On your next turn, regardless of outcome, you sacrifice an entire action
next turn.

Perks and modifiers from your Traits can also increase your accuracy when rolling to hit an enemy, or can raise your
AR (Attack Resist) and MR (Mental Resist) so that it is harder for you to be hit. Your AR guards against projectile and
melee attacks, while MR guards against hacking and Microwave attacks (attacks that can damage/alter your mind). If
an enemy rolls to hit and meets your AR or MR, they hit their attack. The same goes the other way, where if you make
an attack and meet or exceed the enemy's AR or MR, you succeed in hitting your opponent. Damage rolls are made
using the damage of your equipped weapon after you succeed a hit. If you are dual wielding weapons, you roll with
disadvantage to hit, but if you land a hit, roll the damage dice of both weapons when dealing damage.

Whenever a player rolls to make a Rigging check, they roll Intelligence for their roll, which can be halted by an enemy’s
Mental Resistance, or MR. If they fail the check, then they fail their rigging attempt which is noted on whatever device
you use. If you succeed, you then can do what your rigging item says it is able to do. If it is a general rigging item, then
you roll another d20 after your request to do what you ask the enemy to do. If it fails, your rigging attempt fails, if it
succeeds, then your request is granted.

Combat (Cont.)

Range

Range in Tales from the Aerosphere functions by weapon type. In order to hit any enemy, however, you need to not only
be in the appropriate tile or distance range, you need to have direct line of sight of your target in any direction,
meaning that the enemy must be aligned with your character and must be within your weapon's range. Also, if you
decide to use a projectile weapon farther than the range listed, not only do you shoot with disadvantage, but every tile
(5 feet) past the distance listed subtracts 2 from your overall roll.

The ranges weapons can have are as follows unless otherwise specified:

CQC- Close Quarters Combat damage type. Range is up to 1 tile away, only used with Melee Weapons.
Short Range- Typically the range of pistols and shotguns. Range is 5 up to tiles away.
Long Range- Typically the range of rifles and sniper rifles. Range is up to 10 tiles away, sometimes 15.

Weapon/Damage Types

Weapons in Neon Nights also have categories of weapon/damage types. They usually are attributed to either the weight
of the weapon or the caliber of the weapon.

They are as follows:

Light- A lighter weapon or calibered weapon.

Medium- An average weight weapon or calibered weapon.
Heavy- A heavy weight weapon or calibered weapon.
Explosive- A weapon, or weapon with a projectile, that explodes.
Microwave- A weapon that uses microwaves to deal damage. Uses MR instead of AR to hit.

 How to play (5)
Status Effects

In Tales from the Aerosphere, there are many ways to inflict damage or effects onto yourself other than just decreasing
your HP. Weapons and items can have the ability to inflict a Status Effect, an effect that impacts you until your
Willpower roll meets/exceeds the GMs established number.

The status effects in Tales from the Aerosphere are as follows:

Addicted- Whenever you take a drug of any kind (oils, alcohol, nicotine, etc.) roll a Willpower check. This will
determine if you are addicted to the drug you have ingested. When addicted, all Traits, as well as your ACC, are
decreased by -2. This status effect can only be healed by a clinic, in which you will have to pay a large amount of money
to be cured.

Blinded- You have been blinded by either a weapon, object, or chemical. All attacking rolls are modified with negative
debuff to your ACC stat which will be determined by your GM. Roll Willpower to resist this effect. Amount needed to
meet or surpass number to resist effect is determined by the GM.

Paralyzed- You have been paralyzed by either a weapon, object, or chemical. You cannot move or act until a successful
roll to resist this effect. Roll Willpower to resist this effect. Amount needed to meet or surpass number to resist effect
is determined by the GM.

Poisoned- You have been poisoned by a chemical in any shape of matter. You will take damage every turn until poison
is resisted or cured. Roll Willpower to resist effects each turn. Amount needed to meet or surpass number to resist
effect is determined by the GM.

Stunned- You have either been stunned by a weapon, object, or mental fear which does not allow you to move. You
may still act, but movement is disabled. Roll Willpower to resist this effect. Amount needed to meet or surpass number
to resist effect is determined by the GM.

Running a Game

Tales from the Aerosphere is a game meant to be played with a GM (Game Master), and 2-8 other players. You can
technically play with more, or even solo, but the experience may differ very greatly than with the suggested range.

This game is also very open ended with its suggestions on how to run a game. There is no set geography for Nimbus
City (as of this version) so feel free to design your own Nimbus City or other worlds using this system for any purpose.

When designing NPC's, having their AR, MR, and HP at the ready is a must. Things such as weapons, abilities, and
Traits can be added as well for extra information. It is recommended that for all common enemies that are not bosses
or important characters that they have around the same possible HP, AR, and MR of the players at that level. Bosses
can have as much other stats as you want, but you want to be sure that common enemies match the common level of
the characters (unless they are facing a higher-level NPC at a low level which negates this suggestion). Also, matching
the AR, MR, and HP with certain character archetypes is good as well (for example, scientists having high MR, soldiers
having high AR and/or HP, and machines having high AR).

For levels 1-3, it is recommended enemies to have 1-12 HP, 5-10 AR, and 7-18 MR.

For levels 4-9, it is recommended enemies to have 12-50 HP, 8-20 AR, and 10-22 MR.

For levels 9-15, it is recommended enemies to have 20-100 HP, 10-24 AR, and 15-25 MR.

Above level 15, it is recommended enemies to have 30-200 HP, 14-30 AR, and 15-25 MR.

Also, give enemies standard "Skills", like "Three-Actions", "Increases all allies' ACC by +2 next turn" or "Invulnerable to
critical hits". These, instead of standard Perks, will help when managing combat as a GM.

There will be a section later on in this book that has pre-made NPCs from different organizations you can use. Please
feel free to use those sheets as a template for how you create your own NPCs in a game.

Creating the World

Sometimes, a GM may need a little help with creating the world for a game, and since as of 1st Edition there is no
maps, below will be a table of possible settings, objectives, and antagonists to choose from.

Settings

1. Nimbus City (Inner City)- This is the largest section of Nimbus City. The urban areas sprawl for miles hovering
above the clouds and are separated by wealth classes. The Inner City is where most of the wealthiest people reside,
as the Outer City is the opposite.
2. Nimbus City (Outer City)- This is the outer rim of Nimbus City, and it is the most impoverished area in all of the
floating city. Streets are cramped, crime is rampant, and gangs control most of the neighborhoods in small
districts.
3. The Wilds- The Wilds are an uninhabited area of land where forests and grasslands expand for miles. Not many
people live in this area due it being shut off from the city. There are also fearsome beasts that live here that have
been released there due to experiments by the many orgs in Nimbus City.
4. The Underworld- The world beneath Nimbus City is a cruel place. Much of the land is desolate due to the constant
wars that have ravaged the area. Only the Ravagers reside there and what is left of Alfred's failed empire.
5. Lancaster Prime- The moon that floats above Nimbus City has been colonized for nearly 100 years. Grasslands are
present, many towns and villages have sprung, and fauna and other life reside there. The only thing is that it is
ruled by the Trans-Aerospheric Trade Company, and anyone who does not pay their taxes to reside on Lancaster
prime or causes trouble are immediately eradicated.

Objectives

1. You and your allies must seek out treasure that has long been forgotten, but whispers have awoken imagination.
2. You and your allies have been tasked with a mission from an organization, and are under contract to complete it.
3. You and your allies have assembled to take out a target that has wronged you all, and only revenge will suffice.
4. You and your allies are normal citizens who have stumbled into an adventure far above your heads.
5. You and your allies have discovered a terrible secret and must expose it to the public or die trying.
6. You and your allies are travelers looking to make it big in Nimbus City by whatever means necessary.

11
 How to play (8)
Creating the World (Cont.)

Antagonists

1. A business mogul who manipulates the market in unfair ways, does business with horrible separate corporate
entities, and/or treats their employees horribly. Revenge is the only way to shut them down.
2. A gang leader who took everything from the party and will stop at nothing to retrieve money, drugs, items, and/or
their heads to get what they want.
3. A police chief who has unlawfully commanded his police force to harass, beat, arrest, and kidnap innocent
civilians off the street.
4. A mercenary, either known to the party or not, gone rogue who is attacking your allies or close friends for an
unknown reason.
5. A secret, synthetic creature who has escaped the confines of a lab, and now is sought after by many parties.
6. A politician who has done nothing but subjugate the people of Nimbus City to horrible living conditions and is
uncaring to the general populace, all without a care in the world as long as their pocket is filled with cash.
7. An eco-terrorist hellbent on destroying the setting and creating a wildland ruled by them.
8. A fascist ruler that is leading the unheard people of the setting down a dark path with promises of tyrannical rule
and violent overthrow.

12
 mAKING A cHARACTER (1)
*NOTE: All players start with a natural 5 AR, 20 MR, and 3d2 HP.

1. Choose Your Occupation- Choose one occupation that you have done in the past or currently do. These occupations
will both impact the Traits of your character, as well as some roleplaying aspects in-game. Your Occupation will also
have a Skill which will aid you in various ways.

2. Put 5 Points Into Any Trait(s) of Your Choosing- Traits add a certain amount to rolls in each of the trait categories.
Use 5 Modifier points when making your character. Every +1 to a Trait uses 1 point. Every level after 1 adds +1 to any
Trait of your choice.

3. Choose an Organization (if any)- Choosing your organization will open you up to unique story elements, both
positive and negative. If you choose none, you choose to be fully independent, for better or for worse.

4. Use 9 Perk Points to Choose Starting Perks- The modifier that is shown next to what Perk you choose signifies both
the required amount needed to unlock that perk, as well as the amount of points it uses when choosing it. For example,
a Perk that says “Requires Investigation +5” means you must have +5 Investigation and that it uses 5 points to acquire.
You may also acquire perks that are added into that amount, for example, a Dexterity Perk that requires +2 and a
Strength Perk that requires +3. Every 3rd level lets you acquire perks with 5 Perk points to spend as well. If you cannot
find a Perk to choose at the moment, you may save those Perk Points until your next 3rd level.

5. Put 8 Points Into any World Stat(s)- These stats determine what the world sees your character as. You have 8 points
to put in any of them to begin with. These World Stats may increase during your story if the Gm decides to do so.

6. Roll for Wealth and Health- Each character must roll (unless otherwise specified) their Wealth and Health. The
character, when rolling, can either choose the number they are given, or any other options that are below their roll.
With Health, you just roll a 3d2 to reveal what Health you start with. Every 2 levels lets you increase your HP by 3d2.

13
 mAKING A cHARACTER (1)
7. Choose Your CogWare and Supplies- When creating your character, you have 10 points to buy CogWare with
money you rolled in the Wealth section. Each CogWare has a specific point amount. Also, CogWare has an MR penalty
attached noted by an "-". You cannot go below 1 MR. Also, you are allotted 6 points for supplies at the start of the game.
Each item is 1 point unless otherwise specified. Your character will NOT always start with a weapon, transportation, or
residence. You must choose the "x1 Weapon" option on the Supplies page in order to obtain weapons. You can choose
any item as many times as you desire, as long as they do not exceed the point total of 6.

8. Write Your Background- this is entirely up to the player’s discretion. Make sure that your background makes sense
within the world and how you build your character. Your background can affect story elements throughout your
campaign.

These rules are set to change at any moment. The GM can also change these rules as they see fit.

14
 Occupations (1)
Actor- You are an entertainer at heart. The adoration of the crowd is something you constantly strive for, but with this
comes a mentality that can lead to mental hardship. Whatever size actor you are in Nimbus City is your decision, but
your character's passion for the theatrical arts remains. (+2 Persuasion, +2 History, +1 Investigation, -1 Willpower, -1
Mental Fortitude)

Actor Skill: Improvise

Whenever you improvise a skit, dance, song, or any other kind of entertaining action to influence a roll in Amicability,
Persuasion, or Diplomacy, roll with an added +3 to your roll.

Assassin - There are no short supply of discreet killers in Nimbus City, and you are proof of that. Your skills with
sneaking and guns is remarkable, and the art of the kill is what you strive for as long as no one knows where you are.
(+2 Sneaking, +2 Sharpshooting, +1 Melee Fighting, -2 Physical Fortitude)

Assassin Skill: Light Steps

When failing a Sneaking check, you are not discovered immediately, and may redo one failed Sneaking roll per long
rest.

Athlete- You are an athlete of any kind and prefer to remain fit and agile in whatever sport you choose. You live for
competition, and strive to become one of the best in Nimbus City. (+2 Physical Fortitude, +2 Mental Fortitude, +1
Strength or Dexterity, -2 History, -1 Strength or Dexterity)

Athlete Skill: Special Training

Choose an action (grappling, running, jumping, lifting/carrying, throwing) and roll +3 on all rolls where you do that
specified action.

15
 OCCupations (2)
Barbarian- You are the very embodiment of rage and combat prowess. You have probably lived a life in The Wilds, a
place filled with terrible beasts and limited technological resources. You have learned how to use the physical objects
that surround you to transform them into killing machines. Frankly, for combat purposes, a group is blessed to have
you. (+2 Melee Fighting, +2 Physical Fortitude, +1 Intimidation, -2 Persuasion)

Barbarian Skill: Flaming Rage

Three times per long rest, go into a bloodthirsty rage where you roll a disadvantage dice on all strikes for the entire
combat, and have -3 to hit, but all damage is doubled, and on critical hits, your damage is tripled

Bodyguard- You are/were a bodyguard, protecting either a person of interest, or a building that needs people to stay
out, or in of its doors. You know the ins and outs of dealing with people, but prefer to deal with them with an iron will.
(+2 Intimidation, +2 Physical Fortitude, +1 Melee Fighting, -2 Amicability)

Bodyguard Skill: Let Me In, or Keep You Out

When rolling to move past a group of people standing in your way, or when rolling to guard something or someone
from inquiring parties, roll with a +4 to your Intimidation rolls.

Celebrity- Ah, the life of a celebrity; a life filled with incredible notoriety, possible economic freedom, and the love and
adoration of others. On the flip side, it is a life full of enormous stress, strife, and competition. To you, the only thing
that matters is the people's opinion, and you'll do whatever it takes to create the reputation you desire. (+2 Amicability,
+2 Willpower, +1 Persuasion, -2 Mental Fortitude)

Celebrity Skill: Instant Notoriety

On your World Stats, raise your Fame stat instantly to 8 when creating your character. Now, by default, nearly
everyone in Nimbus City knows your name.

16
 OCCupations (3)
Educator- You are an educator in one of the many public institutions of Nimbus City. Whether you taught small
children, or young adults, you use your intellect and want to learn and teach to your advantage. (+1 Mental Fortitude,
+1 History, +2 Intelligence, +1 Diplomacy, -1 Sharpshooting, -1 Melee Fighting)

Educator Skill: Gift of Knowledge

Once per long rest, give the party a lesson in one of these Traits (History, Intelligence, Bartering, Diplomacy) and raise
the party's modifier in that Trait by +2 until the next long rest.

Farmer- Farming is a rough occupation, even for the mechanically knowledgeable in Nimbus City. In great floating
fields have you toiled tending to crops, animals, and many other things, and with this experience comes a hardy body,
strong back, and knowledge of mechanics that only a farmer can have.
(+2 Strength, +2 Physical Fortitude, +1 Intelligence, -2 History)

Farmer's Skill: Seeds of Life

Start with 5 seeds of any plants you choose when creating your character. They go for a high price, and, if tended to,
can grow into organic plants that cost a fortune on the market.

Gangster- You are a gangster who has fallen into the trap of crime and violence that riddles Nimbus City. You are a
hardened criminal, able to intimidate others to do your bidding, persuade others with your silver tongue, and
knowledge on how the world works as a whole. (+2 Intimidation, +2 Persuasion, +1 Intelligence, -2 Diplomacy)

Gangster Skill: Loyal Ties

Create a name for a gang, or choose one from the Organizations List. Whenever a member of the gang interacts with
you, gain advantage on all Persuasion, Amicability, Bartering, and Diplomacy rolls. If they are in combat with you,
gain +1 ACC for each member of that gang in your party that combat.

Historian- History of Nimbus City's many wars, its uprisings, and its technological marvels is something that fills
your heart with a passion to learn all you can about these things. Books are your food, and they work double-time to fill
your mind with information that could be extremely vital in any situation.
(+2 History, +2 Investigation, +1 Bartering, -2 to Sneaking)

Historian Skill: Historical Applications

Choose a topic (CQC, Gunfighting, Speech, Sabotage, Knowledge). Whenever you read a book in that field, double all
benefits gained from it.

Homebody- You are someone who chose a simpler life than that of the typical gangster or mercenary; you became a
stay-at-home caregiver. This could either be a sophisticated ruse to protect your identity, or it could be your genuine
lifestyle, but either way, you know how to take care of people, and that's a fine skill to have in a group. (+2 Reflexes, +2
Willpower, +1 Mental Fortitude, -2 Persuasion)

Homebody Skill: Caregiver's Comfort

Tell your group a story before a long rest, or tend to their needs, such as giving them some food, or lending an ear to

the rest of the following day.

18
 OCCupations (5)
Lawbringer-You are a lawdog of the state for whatever purpose you deem appropriate. Whether it be fighting crime in
a crime-ridden part of town, or simple hunger for power, you wear a badge and wield some power of the state at your
fingertips.

 Organizations (1)
Abe’s Armory- Abe’s Armory was the very first corporation to exist exclusively in Nimbus City. Founded by Charles
Abernathy, he sought to help the citizens and military to defend themselves upon any threat that may harm their ways
of life. Since then, their prices have dropped significantly, and many of the poorer areas of Nimbus City have cast
amounts of this brand of weaponry and armor. Charles is said to still lead the company, but it is unknown how, as
they would have to have lived for centuries. They are known for their high caliber weaponry, but rather antiquated
rates of fire and magazine size.

Alabaster & Co.- Alabaster & Co. is the newest company in all of Nimbus City, but has since then gained the most
influence out of them all. With the invention of Tesla technology by a mysterious man named Jacques Latesce, Tesla
technology has spread all the way to the highest technological facilities in all of Nimbus City. It is with Tesla
technology that the Lancaster moon colony was created, and how Teslacrafts act as a vital tool for transport in the
higher-class sections of Nimbus City.

Automatons- The Automatons are a group of sentient Clockworkers (Androids with Tesla-Powered clockwork
mechanisms) who rebelled against their creator who’s name is classified. They have grown significantly in numbers
after many mechanics and scientists joined their cause for liberation and to be treated like a normal being. Because of
this explosion, Clockwork people do exist, but they are usually relegated to laborious jobs and are usually lobotomized
so they may not rebel, and the Automatons are fighting against this.

Banebloods- The Banebloods are mostly known for their harassing of the TATC in particular. They attack trade ships
and Teslacrafts who funnel goods to their higher areas of Nimbus City. When they were founded by Elron Baneblood
near the founding of Nimbus City, they gave the remaining funds stolen from the TATC to the poorer areas of the city,
but now, under the command of Xavier Terrorbeard, the goods only goes toward the Banebloods.

Derrik- The Derrik organization is a manufacturer not officially recognized by the nobility of Nimbus City. They were
established by a Derrik Oleg in the lower-class areas of Nimbus City. He then gained in popularity after many
Juggernauts and Banebloods began using their weapons. The NCPD and Tatsies began to smuggle these confiscated
weapons to sell back on the markets, and thus a huge demand for these weapons were born, creating a cycle of misuse
and violence, even at the highest level. The weapons are known for their high damage and rate of fire, but their
unreliability is well known, and no marksman ever uses a Derrik weapon for that very reason.

27
 Organizations (2)
Franklin Arms- Franklin Arms is the second newest company in Nimbus City. The specialize in weapons
with high-capacity magazines that allow for more bullets to be fired before reloading. The company was
founded by a man named Franklin Tsarev who fought with the Soaring Phoenix. They have since grown
further from their revolutionary roots to gain profits in the higher areas of Nimbus City.
Government- The government of Nimbus City is ruled by a Duke who acts as a figurehead to the city and
has full power of the Parliament of the People, the congressional hub for Nimbus City. They, in recent
times, have reverted to a near fascist state, save for corporations like the TATC imposing their wills upon
laws and legislation in the Parliament. They are elected by votes, but commonly use the many gangs and
organizations within Nimbus City to force the common people to vote for a particular leader that will be
best for the nobility of the city.

Juggernauts- The Juggernauts are a gang of ruffians who guard lower-class neighborhoods from the TATC
and NCPD, but at a cost. They are known to harass people for money, smuggle drugs into communities they
inhabit, and war with other orgs and militias who want to control their territory. They can be identified by
their red and blue jackets with a mythical hammer symbol embroidered on the back.

Knights of Asgore- The Knights of Asgore were founded by a fanatical cult leader named Primarch Asgore,
or Cassius the Bright, who prophesized that Nimbus City would rise to the heavens after the Knights of
Asgore rid the city of all heresy and evildoing. Thus, this following grew, and after a century the Knights of
Asgore, led by a leader known as the Primarch, have gained a staggering following of religious fanatics who
don armor of a bygone era and fight only with melee weapons. They only target the Banebloods, Hushman,
Talon Syndicate, and Juggernauts, showing them no mercy and exterminating them in what they call
“Paths to Purity”.

Military- The military of Nimbus City does little. They are very heavily invested in, as the military industrial
complex is one of the most profitable and booming markets in Nimbus City, but they do not do much.
When they are deployed, it is almost always for fighting against the Rising Phoenix or other Syndicate
threat. They sometimes are deployed to fight the Wild Ones or people from the Underworld (the land below
Nimbus City), but only in very rare cases.

28
 Organizations (3)
Police- There are many types of police in Nimbus City. There are detectives, patrol officers, special
operations units, and corporation-owned police forces. Each department varies, but the police of Nimbus
City are often known to overstep their bounds and harm the public rather than protect them. They do offer
public services, such as fighting fires, medical aid, and protection, but they are all paid with a Protector’s
Tax that all must pay. If a person dies not, they are refused service.

TATC- The Trans Aerospheric Trade Company is the largest corporation in all of Nimbus City. Since their
inception they have had a firm grip on the markets in Nimbus City, and have now grown to such immense
power that they influence all ways of life within Nimbus City. They sell all sorts of goods, own shops called
Tatsy Marts all over the city, and even have their own police force called the TATCPC, also known as the
Tatsies, that have spread across all corners of the land. They have their hands in every sort of capital-
gaining business there is, and it is rumored that they will overtake the government in Nimbus City and will
rule the people…until their time, too, is up.

The Hushmen- The Hushmen are a theieves guild that reside in Nimbus City. They work as professional
robbers, fraudsters, conmen, and pickpockets to sell to the Syndicate for a great amount of profit. Those
goods are then ransomed by the Hushmen to buy back from them, or have them sink deep into the Dark
Bazaar, a lawless market that lay in hidden parts in the darkest areas of Nimbus City.

The Soaring Phoenix- The Soaring Phoenix are an underground organization funded by the Talon
Syndicate. They are led by Anaiyah Fireheart, a woman with a passion of revolution and change. Sadly, due
to the costly nature of organizing, she had to partner with the Talon Syndicate for extra cash. For this, they
frequently hunt TATC and NCPD officers and smuggle their equipment for the Hushmen and go on airship
hunts with the Banebloods. They envision Nimbus City as a possible bastion of security and equality, and
will stop at nothing to achieve that goal.

29
 Organizations (4)
The Talon Syndicate- The Talon Syndicate is a group of assassins, mercenaries, and thieves who have banded
together to form a large underground organization. They are responsible for most of the assassinations of public
figures, heists, and drug operations in all of Nimbus City. Within the Syndicate resides many other smaller
organizations who all pay taxes for Syndicate protection, like the Hushman, the Soaring Phoenix, and the
Banebloods. They are extremely powerful, and wield almost all power when it comes to shady dealings in Nimbus
City.

The Wild Ones- The Wild Ones reside on the outskirts of Nimbus City. While Nimbus City technically is the name of
the entire floating island, the outsides of the metropolitan areas of Nimbus City have been deemed The Wilds for their
more agrarian appearance. The closest areas of the Wilds are the farms that grow the crops for the city, and beyond
that are forests that act as a natural barrier between the city and The Wilds. The Wild Ones are protectors of the
Wilds, and have organized in small clans to fight against any TATC or other corporate powers that may threaten their
land. Most are peaceful and unified, while others form clans solely to absorb resources from The Wilds to sell to the
TATC and other organizations in Nimbus City.

 world stats
World Stats

World Stats are purely for roleplaying. They do not impact combat or add bonuses to your characters directly.
However, World Stats function as determiners for interactions with the world.

Each level determines how impactful the character's presence is to the setting around them. From levels 1-3 in a World
Stat, people will either not acknowledge you or will have an adverse effect to the world around you (Level 1
Professionalism may have executives perceive you at a slob or rude, or a 1 in Public Fear means people may treat you
like a pushover). With 4-6 there are some impacts to the world around you within that specific World Stat, 6-9 the
entire city is impacted within that World Stat, and level 10 shows that your presence is known throughout the entire
world using the World Stat that reaches that amount. The maximum World Stat level you can reach is 10.

Each of the 7 statistics impact a certain aspect of the character's life in significant ways. They are as follows.

Fame- Determines your general popularity with the general populace of your surrounding world, for better or for
worse.
Respect- Determines how well people respect your words, decisions, and skills, real or imaginary.
Professionalism- Determines how corporate entities, business owners, and other professionals perceive you in all
ways.
Street Smarts- Determines your general knowledge of the streets of cities, giving you an edge when travelling in
cityscapes.
Street Cred- Determines your respect among street dwellers rather than with the general populace.
Public Fear- Determines the level of fear the general populace has of you.
Style- Determines your level of style in any chosen field which impacts interactions with people engrossed in style.

When creating your character, allot 8 points to any of the world stats. Points are added by the GM when they feel
necessary. The points should directly impact the ways the world revolves around your character.

 wealth (1)
Wealth

Your wealth is determined by rolling dice that match with the amount of options provided (8 options is 1d8, and 12
options is 1d12). Once this number is rolled, the player may choose any option up to and below the number rolled, but
never above (unless the GM allows it).

When it comes to transportation and residences, the symbol "-" is how much money (from the roll you made for how
much cash you have) will cost. This also goes for the costs of weapons and CogWare. The "g" that follows a number is
how many Gildans it will cost.

More money, weapons, and property has great positives for your character, but keep in mind that many people in the
world of Tales from the Aerosphere are envious, and will try anything to take a slice from you, however big or small.
More money equals more problems.
