Capital of Passion

The Capital of Passion is a mentioned planet in Honkai: Star Rail.
==Description==
===Technology===
The residents of the Capital of Passion are obsessed with cybernetic prosthetics, while the city's limited regulations can only advise against the frenzy of excessive body modification. Not all messengers have cybernetic prosthetic arms, but those who do often have a strong passion to modify it. After all, no one wants to have a cybernetic limb that looks identical to everyone else's. Some prosthetic arms can be specially modified, with each finger joint able to rotate at high speeds and be launched like a bullet.
The registered standards for modifications in the Capital of Passion only contains three categories, with a total of eighteen types. This was not enough for the rebellious messengers. They invest huge amounts of their salaries into imaginative designs. They create blueprints that enable their electronic conversion machinery to release lightning or transform their prosthetic hands into missiles, and the designs become increasingly outrageous as fees to engage messengers skyrocket.
Messenger holovisors project real-time information of the city directly onto the messenger's retina, turning impossible routes into an aerial path for the messengers: Building rooftops, air conditioning units, billboards, the arms of cranes, even unmanned logistics drones can become part of the path. Therefore, messengers must be skilled enough, as even one misstep would result in an unexpected and lethal fall. The Yellow Ducky holovisor is a discontinued old model that is said to be of considerable value among enthusiasts.
The Capital of Passion's cyberspace is expansive, and aether editing from Punklorde is also present.
===Culture===
The financial magnates in the Capital of Passion greedily collect and monitor every piece of information that flows in the city, whether it is important or trivial, or whether it arose from reality or virtual realms. They were used to maintaining their dominance using information monopoly, and all who try to subvert this control will be punished by the Public Security Regulation. People once protested, which only made the financial magnates dish out some convenient compromises. Soon enough, people gave up on the idea of "privacy."
As a result, the messengers' courier satchels have become the final bastion of privacy. The satchel is small, lightweight, and can only carry chips or documents. The limited edition Yellow Ducky courier satchel may be a bit old, but its various accessories make it still in fashion.
Despite these shortcomings, the final remains of "information independence" in the Capital of Passion was solely ensured by these tiny blind spots. To avoid the private forces hired by the financial magnates, messengers in the Capital of Passion usually travel in the skies above the city, where security forces are scarce. They like to turn on pulse-scanning and look over the entire cyber city while chewing cheap gum and donning heavily modified holovisors.
As described on the Capital of Passion infomercial channel, as the Capital of Passion had entered its 4th era, food can almost be preserved forever. Thus, the citizens are curious about how expired food tastes. It was questioned whether or not messengers were running to protect information, or to earn exorbitant fees, and why people still transmitted information outside of the internet in the prosperous Capital of Passion.Simulated Universe Occurrence: Shopping Channel
Insidiously, the "information independence" that messengers protected became a monopoly. Insidiously, the risks that messengers faced became a bargaining chip. Insidiously, messengers became the accomplices of conspirators. The financial magnates did not destroy the messengers — It was their immature ideas that betrayed them. The messengers assembled before everything totally spiraled out of control, and bid a last farewell to their hurried lives. Most messengers wouldn't leave their name or even a trace in this city, making their behavior nothing but a self-indulgent coda. Even messengers can't pinpoint when the "nature of being a messenger" had changed to make them the people they hated the most. The messengers of the Capital of Passion have long become a legend of the past.

The financial magnates did not destroy the messengers — it was their immature ideas that betrayed them. The messengers assembled before everything spiralled out of control, and bid a last farewell to their hurried lives. It was decided that it would be the end of the messengers. They decided to let everyone see the truth of this city, and let the true reformists take action. The former Capital of Passion messengers all threw their sneakers into one spot, and left after a brief moment of silence. The messengers of the Capital of Passion became a legend of the past.
