This is only an idea for a future combat world.
The city is divided into three parts: The New City, The Intercity, and the Old City.
The wealthiest live in the domed an luxurious New City. Among the entertainments, they watch, sponsor, and bet on combat coming from the Old City.
The Old City, the decaying parts outside of the dome, is broken up into sectors. Each sector is composed of groups based on entertainment value. Let's say our sector is all male. They are not born there, but are genetically modified and cloned based on appearance, strength, cleverness, raised in the Intercity area, then released into the Old City at random places at a certain age. Each sector is essentially divided into streets that are controlled by gangs. Their activity is closely followed by hundreds of cameras sprinkled about. They have access to some necessities through the Old City, but sponsors in the New City can provide better quality food. They also provide weapons, but I imagine for now, mostly swords, knives, spears, & bow and arrows.
Obviously, conflicts emerge among the gangs, and sometimes within, but they are encouraged not to fight within the Old City (though they sometimes do). Connecting the Old City and the Intercity are arenas. Sponsors of the gangs can control, to some extent, the conditions of combat within the arena. The appeal of the arena for the gangs is that winners are allowed into the Intercity area, which is basically a pleasure palace with real food, luxury, drugs, orgies, etc. The more kills one gets in the arena, the greater the access to luxury. Sponsors who are great fans of particular warriors pay big bucks to meet their hero in the Intercity for sex and play.
What do you think? Any ideas for episodes in this world?
