Here's a summary of what I know so far:
Space Devils
- A digital band that exists primarily in cyberspace but has a powerful real-world presence.
- Their music spans various styles and genres.
- They consist of four male members, with occasional guest lead singers, including a female.
- Their aesthetic is a blend of cyberpunk, retro rock, and surrealism—part human, part machine.
- Due to glitches, they sometimes manifest in reality, leading to a cult-like following by some fans.
- They are the most influential band in The New World, akin to The Beatles in cultural impact.
- Their music became possible only after The Great Discovery, when Beatles and Rolling Stones records were unearthed after 1,000 years of silence.
The New World
- A society that rose from the ruins of The Devastation, where old-world corruption, greed, and war were abolished.
- It is a unified civilization—nations no longer exist, as they are seen as divisive.
- AI plays a major role in governance and truth-keeping, ensuring history is recorded by witnesses rather than rewritten by victors.
- The economy is no longer based on money; resources are allocated by need.
- A Joke Economy exists where The Resistance still clings to old-world currency, but it is treated as a novelty.
- The Oath and The Mystery are spiritual movements inspired by The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, respectively.
- The Mystery sees Beatles music as divine, promoting love and enlightenment.
- The Oath follows The Stones' rebellious, darker philosophy.
- Each movement has a guru: The Mystery Preacher (a radiant, psychedelic figure) and The Oath Preacher (a fiery orator).
- The Forgotten Files contained Beatles music, rediscovered after a millennium, inspiring The Mystery Movement.
- The New World Manifesto, written by Nova, declares the end of the corrupt old order and the rise of a just society.
- Space Devils are the spokesmen of The New World and serve as the cultural heart of the movement.
Additional Themes & Lore
- The Free World Doctrine ensures fairness and contribution-based society.
- Natural Enlightenment Products (NEPs) are rare, organic substances used for bartering.
- The Owsleys are an elite farming group cultivating NEPs, tracing their lineage back to counterculture figures from Woodstock and San Francisco.
- The Coin Hoarders are Resistance members obsessed with preserving old-world money.
- There is an ongoing tension between The New World and The Resistance, who seek to restore outdated systems of power.
This is the foundation, but I'm ready to expand in any direction you want! Let me know what you'd like to develop further.
