Industrialization has conquered the globe, population doubling with each decade that came. Planetary migrations have failed, leaving two or three bodies stacked in a grave. Mass graveyards were built in the sky, with great silver headstones that blocked out the sun, leaving us in the dark…
Based off: Repo!-The Genetic Opera.
In the not so distant future…and epidemic of organ failures spread. Millions died. However, as nature failed, technology triumphed. GeneCo rose from the ashes of a dead city, Cosmetrolis, and so began the era of Genetic Modifications. Hearts, kidneys, livers, you name it and GeneCo will sell you it, people starting to go under the knife for more and more outrageous cosmetic surgeries, and more came under debt.
Organ repossessions legalized!
Say you once bought a heart, or new corneas, but never managed to square away your debts. The Repo Man’s job is to find you, and rip the still beating heart from your chest!
In a world of dark, synthetic, beautiful, noxious disease…how can you get away? Drugs? Getting a new surgery? That’s just the thing, you can never hide from the Repo Man.
Taking a small step into the life of the heir to GeneCo: He’s a privileged man, getting any surgery he wants however keeping it to a respectable minimum. He is the son of the head of GeneCo, and with his father dying, he is to inherit the company name, along with the…darker side of the business. Organ Repossessions. However, before his father dies, the tables turn.
His brother inherits GeneCo, not him. His father had other plans, leaving him with the job of head Repo Man. But how could this be? He’s never made a repossession in his life! Well, it isn’t difficult to learn how to rip out someone’s pancreas, but will he do it? All will unfold, at the Opera tonight!
Taking a small step into the life of a Graverobber: Zydrate is a euphoric pain killer, to be taken whenever you get a new cut or two. However, it comes in different forms. Synthetic Zydrate that comes from the hospitals and labs, and Organic Zydrate…better known as Street Zydrate, as there is a drug market for it nearly in higher demand than the organs themselves, as it is highly addictive and rare.
She’s a shadow, a no one, a graverobber. Organic Zydrate can be harvested from a corpse, and it gives you a cleaner, much purer high than Synthetic Zydrate…and when you live on a city built on the dead, it’s not difficult to obtain, if you’re the right person.
She gets the Zydrate, sells it on the street, pays her debts to GeneCo and all goes according to plan, right? Well it can only go that way for so long, and with her debts piling up, and a lot of close calls, she’s in for a visit from the Repo man. Will she make her payments on time? All will unfold, at the Opera tonight!
(If a male would care to join me, that would be lovely. The setting is kind of Futuristic Goth/Victorian, or at least that's how it's show in the film.)
