====================
In a galaxy, you all know and love, called the Milkyway-Galaxy…
Planet Cloudy Curtain, a planet known for it's idyllic environment and role as a major agricultural center, located within the Bright Republic..
The Bright Republic is one of the many third-level states within the Komodo Star Sector, located on the edge of the Milkyway-Galaxy..
Cloudy Curtain is characterized by it's peaceful atmosphere, temperate climate, unpolluted air, and picturesque scenery…
The planet's citizens tend to prefer a slower paced lifestyle, compared to the more industrialized and densely populated planets within the Bright Republic..
This tranquil setting attracts individuals from the stresses of a fast-paced society, as well as those who appreciate a more natural and serene environment…
Cloudy Curtain's favorable climate unpolluted environment make it ideal for agriculture, the planet is especially known for it's high-quality agricultural products..
One such product is called cloud-rice, a genetically modified, highly nutritious staple food across the entire republic…
The planet's agricultural sector dominates it's economy and plays a vital role in supplying food to other planets of the star-nation..
Cloudy Curtain remains relatively underdeveloped in terms of industry and technology, partly due to the influences of the two dominant political parties of the planet..
The White Doves and the Greens, who prioritize preserving the planet's environment and traditional way of life…
This focus on agriculture and resistance to heavy industrialization has contributed to the planet's reputation as a peaceful and idyllic, somewhat sleepy or backwater planet…
Despite it's focus on agriculture, Cloudy Curtain is home to a branch of the MTA, Mech Trade Association..
The MTA is among the largest and most powerful organizations of humanity, that have an undeniable influence over even the major nations…
With this influence, they hold the ultimate standing of being a neutral party that does not get involved in any internal human conflicts…
The main duty of the MTA is to manage the trade of Mechs across the universe…
They have a base set up in every colonized planet, which has all the facilities to test newly produced mechs, before the sale is completed to ensure it meets quality standards…
The second duty is to ensure no one violates any laws they place regarding the development of mechs,such as forbidden technologies and unlicensed mechs…
There ideal is one of mutual strengthening and mutual dependence…
By elevating the quality of mechs, we can create machines that are stronger but do not leave their human creators and users behind…
There is even a local mech-gang on the planet called the Walter's Whales, a small-time mech-force that was forced off of the more lucrative and densely populated planet Bentheim..
On planet Cloudy Curtain, besides the two dominant political parties, a new party called the Pioneers is beginning to emerge…
The Pioneers represent those who favor progress and industrial development on the planet, supporting policies aimed at raising Cloudy Curtain's standard of living and economic growth…
The Pioneers argue that industrialization can occur without compromising the planet's unique environment, advocating for sustainable development practices...
However, despite their efforts, the Pioneers have struggled to gain widespread support, facing opposition from both the ruling coalition and some segments of the population who are content with the current status quo…

Planet Cloudy Curtain, City of Orinoco
On Heritage Street, a very popular a busy street in the city of Orinoco, a large Internet Cafe like building rests as young people enter and exit it…
C.C.'s Iron Spirit Game-Center, an entire business based around the popular mechsimulator called Iron Spirit, played by trillions of citizens from the hundreds of different galactic-states…
Iron Spirit might not be the most played online game on the market…
However, it's esports broadcasts attracts a very wide audience, allowing the game to foster a large and diverse creator's market…
The reason for the game's success could be attributed to its adherence to reality, IronSpirit emulates reality so well that players have to buy or rent expensive simulationpods to pilot a mech..
It has turned the player base into an elitist club that serves as a decent simulation to actual mech combat…
As a reputable mech simulator, IronSpirit only features real mechs…
The base designs sold in its virtual store can be bought in real life with almost the same performance...
With its vast and extensive database, the game works hard to group them together in a simple manner…
The BSBHCorporation, the company that created and operates Iron Spirit, sticks to the creed of realism so much that it's virtual mechs have to be fabricated within it's simulated ecosystem in a realistic manner…
Only the mainstream mech models can be bought off-the-shelf…
The true high performing mechs in the game are all customized or original designs that can be sold for either gold, the virtual currency, or with real Credits..
Unlike piloting a virtual mech, IronSpirit does not demand it's designers to be a potentate, so even an average norm who can not connect to a neural-interface and can't pilot a mech can still engage in it's virtual market…
Designing orginal mechs or making variants of existing designs, inside the game's virtual design simulator…
The BSBHCorporation decided to adopt a 1-star to 5-star rating. They later added even higher ratings with the introduction of even higher performing models…
The game's database includes many older designs, but it's library of current designs is incomplete…
Many top-notch mech designs are highly guarded secrets…
These so-called next generation models represent the cutting edge of mech design…
IronSpirit features a sophisticated matchmaking system, and the lowest segment is the BronzeLeague.
Every mech pilot who plays IronSpirit starts from the BronzeLeague.
Only by winning a sufficient amount of matches would one gain the opportunity to promote to the SilverLeague, which most mech enthusiasts consider to be the real beginning of the game…
Bronze leaguers are also limited from purchasing any mechs rated higher than 1 stars, which really frustrates a lot of kids who want to jump right into the current-gen mechs…
Matchmaking in the Bronze League does not cross star systems, so all bronze leaguers are matched against each other players on their homeplanet…
It is not until players promote into the Silver League, will they find themselves matched against players from different planets…
Cesare Ceasar, also known as C.C. to some, is the owner of this rather busy gaming establishment…
Cesare has many secrets, he is what's called a Otherworldy Demon, he is someone who has slipped through the cracks of time and space…
On top of all this, he inherited memories of an entire life lived as a gu immortal named Gu Yue Fang Yuan..
Fang Yuan was an extremely talented and ruthless cultivator in his time and world, bringing a wealth of combat knowledge among other things to Cesare…
It has only been a little over a year, for Cesare to go from a normal high-school graduate, to a farm and business owner on his home planet…
Due mostly to the fact, Cesare has a 'golden finger' called a system, that has allowed him to grow most swift like…
Cesare not only grows more wealthy by the day, but he also grows stronger, smarter, and even more spiritual as each day passes…
Before getting up from his seat to leave the front area to enter his private gaming room, Cesare decided to check his system, calling the word out in his thoughts…
When Cesare does this, his system connects his conciousness to his main avatar in his personal old school RuneScape dimension, that at the moment is continuing his task of mining coalore…
In the same area Cesare left his first and only avatar so far, mining for coal ore in the Dwarven Mine located just north of the city of Falador..
Even four hundred years into the age of mechs, steel is still a widely used material, whether being used by itself or being refined down and mixed with other minerals in different alloys, that are used for mech building and interstellar ships all across the galaxy…
Cesare's system, has twenty-three system-skills, he can gain experience and advance levels in as his avatar completes actions…
While checking on or controlling his avatar, Cesare can inspect his system-panel, where he can check all of his current stats or inspect his system-inventory..
