New Eden, City of Tomorrow, is a science fiction game set in the not too far distant future with Retro Future/Atom Punk, etc elements. Robots, rayguns, automatons and human like androids are just the start, all with an overlord figure running the show.
New Eden is a character-driven game, enriched by a vibrant world and original story elements. While you and your characters are given the freedom to explore and grow, there will be game-wide plots and events to react to and become involved in.

In the 1950s, following years of war, people looked for a better future with grand ideas and dreams. Never again would the world teeter on the brink of destruction. The Silverbeam Alliance, formed from shiny idealism mixed with deep-seated terror, swore the continuance of mankind.
They would create a utopia. They pooled resources, bought an island and created their ideal city. They built MABEL, a supercomputer tasked with monitoring babies born in coming years from afar. Tested and tracked into adulthood.
The people who create MABEL grew old and died, but MABEL never slept. Nobody told her to stop monitoring or working on the city of New Eden.
Now she has decided the time has come to save mankind.
How did my character get to the island?
Each character receives an invitation designed to tempt them. For example, an all expenses paid vacation to the island. Or maybe to be a contestant on a reality TV show. Maybe they are a research student who got a surprise grant to study something on the island - use your imagination!
How did they physically arrive?
A ship! More detail of arrivals can be found here.
How are people chosen to come to the island?
MABEL chooses people from all walks of life, though she is careful to choose people she feels have great potential, and are disease-free. She is also partial to people whose ideals match up with her creators, i.e. 1950s outlooks. But standing out in any way makes someone viable, whether it's a scientific mind, a great artist, or even an exceptional housewife. People are chosen from all over the world.
Name: Age: Journal: Type: (human? Connie? once accepted, you can choose to remove this or not) Home Assignment: (Lark, Puffin, etc. and one or two bedrooms?) Occupation: Personality: (A general idea of what they're like. Likes/dislikes, issues, etc.) Myers Briggs (choose the one that fits the best! - http://www.svj1.com/res/mbti/MBTItypeChartSmall.jpg) History: (Please give us an overview of what their life was like before they got on the ship.) Island Invitation (How did they get a notification to travel to the island?) Other: (family, interesting tidbits, quirks, strengths/weaknesses, etc) pb: (try to get within a 5 year age range, or just don't get silly with it. Age appropriate pictures are fine too.)
The island is beautiful. It's about 7 square miles, and the center of it is covered with a huge dome. Inside that dome is a controlled environment. Some of it is dedicated to growing food and maintaining other natural resources.
Then there's the Atom Fun amusement park! All space age rides and fully automated, it's a great time for the whole family. It's centered around the crystal bottomed lake. The light filters through the bottom of the lake to the city below.
Subterranean New Eden - meticulously designed to give a feeling of space and calm in a very limited area. Daylight is filtered in using filter optics and at night a replica sky provides starlight with no pesky cloud cover to spoil the view.
