Alright, I think this one is done. It is a lot shorter and actually is a "character playlist". It's one for Nephew/Claw the lll. Y'know, the eyeshadow wearing psycho nephew of Dr Claw? Yeah that guy! WARNING, his playlist is a lot darker and have some explicit songs that may be upsetting for a younger or more sensitive listener. View discretion is advised. CLAW THE 3rd's PLAYLIST OF DEBAUCHERY AND MURDERAwesome! Thanks for the warning... *clicks on the link* XD Hope you like it! XDDD

SO as I have stated far too many times in this AU, Jean/Gadget is a big fan of early 2000's emo/punk/rock music and fashion. Much like someone today being into 70's aesthetics. Below is what Jean's personal playlist would look like. Minus the 5% current day stuff he probably likes. I think this will give some incite to his character without even being necessarily a "character playlist". ANYWAY! Enjoy and it will probably expand with time. There might also be more playlists for fun.
Jean/Gadget's Old man musicI haven't listened yet but I did look over the whole list. I feel ashamed of myself for not recognizing every band . One of those is one I really like so that by it's self makes me curious to listen to the artists I don't know if their vibe is similar. I'll be listening to this while I'm working tomorrow on Loaded stone.

CLAW THE 3rd's PLAYLIST OF DEBAUCHERY AND MURDERLike the first list for now I've read over what the music is. Ok, totally ashamed I haven't heard anything on this one before. Dark stuff isn't normally my cup of tea. Is this music list a total reflection to the characters' personalities? I feel before listening to this I have to have the right mood in mind to listen. Like when I feel game to listen to Rob Zombie music.

Like songs about never growing up, loss and some other stuff but his list is pretty edgy yet lighthearted. Like him lol Nephews is a bit more of a story. His aggression and hate for the world he was born into in a gleefully sadistic way. Then about his drug problems in a positive way that sinks into his regrets and eventually why he is how he is and how he hates who he's become and wishes he could have done things differently. A rollercoaster. Okay enough word vomit. lol

Red Threads; later shortened to THREADS THREADS is the number one dating site in the world. Founded in 2065 by a Canadian social scientist and later bought by the Canadian government and even later, the US government but outsourced to a company in Seattle. Threads is no mere dating site but a voluntary way to be graded by your peers and publicly put your best foot forward. A nicer way to rank up social credit and status. This encourages people to date more, be nicer, commit less crime and over time get the population back up after a major blow delivered in the 2020-40s. Think of it less like a forced way to socialize and be judged and more like Yelp or Amazon reviews for human interaction~! <3 Joining THREADS and receiving positive feedback can give the users perks, such as but not limited to: Job promotions, better housing options, more stock options, better courtroom experiences when accused or convicted of crime, preferential medical treatment, Tax breaks. There really are no downsides to joining TREADS today! Find where your read threads of fate lead you! __________________________________________
Yes, this is 100% supposed to be a little unsettling and reminiscent of a stupid clicker game combined with a George Orwell type world. Friendly reminder that this is a Pre-Dystopian world. This is also where the terms Status Dates will come from.

Good addition idea to your AU for it's world building. Thank you! I'm currently making Gadget's and Claw the lll's dating profiles now. It will also serve as a fun way to make character bios without it being too....2005 Deviant art. lol

ore about laws time!
Warning, this post mentions guns, drugs and prostitution laws but in a contextual manner. If you are sensitive to these topics, skip this post.
Around the 2050s-60s in GN world America, a lot of laws changed. Firearms became heavily regulated and later on tasers were banned. This was due to people using them in abductions by disarming Cytats. Now, guns is hard to get legally or even illegally so its not worth it for criminals. Tasers are though.
Drugs! Most drugs are now legal but HEAVILY regulated by the government. Also, once it became legal; drug use plummeted because it just wasn't fun anymore. This also means that the Claw the lll is a legal coke head. He is only even a set amount each month to prevent full on overdose or crippling addiction. Dr Claw is his reluctant doctor.
Prostitution is now legal but again, regulated. The workers aren't allowed to advertise in public places and pimping is illegal. Meaning a worker cannot be exploited a by another person.
All these knew laws took the fun out of crime so crime rates generally go down over the decades. Organized crime however...that makes a resurgence.

Beyond the clear sci fi notes to your GN world building. This is how it comes across to me. It looks like you're taking the real world and adding forecasting ideas based upon it to have things wedge nicely into the fiction, to work right?

I love doing alternative history and future predictions based on lil things from reality and pushed to a slightly absurd level. Like all these things are painted as positives but have obvious holes in them that could very easily slope into a dystopian society. I'd genrally love to talk about this bit more. I love world building. Even if VERY little of this is used in the comic, it will give it life.
