The peak of Eukaronic living. The Imperial Conurbation is a large city spanning the size of a small country. Holding the Eukaronic architecture of a small country. Holding the Eukaronic architecture of truss-shaped skyscrapers, it also has regular housing and several plazas and market-sections. The centre of the city holds the Imperial Citadel. The Imperial Families residence and the military headquarters. Eukaron has been in chaos since the battle at Mauve Canyon. The government was outraged of foreign affairs not only taking place without imperial permission but that it would destroy an integral part of capital defense. Many of the motels located near the Canyon were destroyed - causing a crisis of homelessness and overpopulation for Hennafell City and Amarill. Arrests across Eukaron were skyrocketing - as the people begun to grow violet and develop a hatred for their Soul-Wielding brothers. Many extremist parties were going through the streets killing anyone who had an aura higher than someone of weak power. The police - while not directly involved, were letting a large amount of their crimes go unnoticed. Eukaron was slowly becoming a dangerous place for Soul-Wielders. It became clear. Any Soul-Wielders left in the cities had to leave. Including a certain bounty hunter from the North Region... Rakoji leaned on the railings of a skyrise bar, sipping his Jirubian Spirit as he watched the crowds below and the ships above. He had been mysteriously given access to the Conurbation ahead-of-time, presumably by the person he met during his time in Amarill, yet just a few days after he settled down, he was suddenly facing death threats and danger at every turn. Despite the turmoil of the people - the Imperial Conurbation was surprisingly serene and beautiful. Unlike Hennafell and Amarill, who were mutilated beyond recognition from the 11-year-war, the Conurbation has retained it's traditional Eukaron architecture. Gleaming Cirumite towers reaching as high as the towers, glowing clocktower windows being commonplace amongst the rich giving off a soft and constant purple glow on the platforms and walkways of the city. "'Tis a shame to leave so soon.." Rakoji muttered to himself, finishing his drink and walking away - putting his glass down on a random table. Walking inside the building - faint music and the chattering of the planet's elite became the background noise of the room. The music sounded electronic - yet had a heavy feel and theme of classical music, giving off an unnaturally haunting vibe for the room. The room was generally crowded, making Rakoji have to almost fight his way through the crowd to the elevator. As Rakoji got closer to the elevator - he failed to notice as the crowds begun to fade away, being replaced by private security and bodyguards. As he finally reached the elevator - it would ding to signal it's arrival, opening it's doors... "Scourge! Leaving so soon?" A tall Eukaronic elf would walk out, wearing an all-black suit with an armoured overcoat and wide-brimmed hat, similar to Rakoji. Behind him would be another male elf - yet much taller than average - clearly a guard. "Ahh, Prokir! I do apologise, but I do think I should retire for the night- I've had a bit too much to drink, you see! I can barely hold myself on my feet!" Rakoji forced a laugh before putting his mask back on. "Oh, but the party was just about to begin... bounty hunter..." 'Prokir' would be grinning, although his eyes shown a mixture of hatred and prejudice. The security would finally make themselves known to Rakoji, as they stepped behind and around him - unholstering their pistols. He was surrounded. "This is a bit too much, Prokir. I was about to leave." Rakoji turned around, resting his hand on his holster in case things got violent. Which he wouldn't put past his luck, at this point. "Oh, I would love to let you go and continue your lifestyle of... What- running from nearly every government body in the galaxy, working for the very peo
