Muuti

Muuti ran DSTRKT 5 in the period between Arcadia leaving and The Last Tree.

Muuti is the largest and most notorious mob boss in Boomtown. He's like the Godfather. A likeable jack the lad, but someone who you dare never to cross.  A law unto himself, he runs things around here and ultimately owns everything and everyone.  Residents go to him when they need help, but once Muuti has done you a favour you will be in his pocket for life.  His gang protects the people here from harm and keeps other nefarious organisations at arms reach. The Boomtown officials rarely step foot here so the trade in black market genetic modifications has boomed and created a hugely profitable illegal industry.

Muuti is heavily modified with hybrid robotics giving unusual and unpredictable strengths.  Not much is known about Muuti's past, some believe he was once a great general in a vast army, loosing his eye in victorious battle.  Other believe him to be a small time charmer who through personal struggle and tragic loss found his way to the top, a glorious underdog of the people. Some more merry frequenters of his seedy establishments even proclaim him to be a God!

## **Expanding Empire**

The trade of felonious goods has enabled him to grow into a great power that exists without the fear of the interference and reprisals. His huge increase in wealth and investment has seen enterprises expand, new developments are being built, such as **Robotika, Scrap Yard,**and**Sewage Works**, plus his expansion of**The Red Rash Inn**. This thriving dystopian sector is rapidly becoming a growing empire of illegality.

When the aliens first landed the people unanimously joined
in celebration as new technologies quickly began to appear amongst the
ramshackle high-rises of this broken district.

That was until the
disease left it to fend for itself, under quarantine. Local mob boss
**Muuti** now controls this area. It is he the afflicted turned to, trading
their humanity for salvation. Keeping the virus dormant through illegal
implants based on alien technology, built using the one plentiful
resource around here, scrap. This new breed of maligned being, known as
Halflings, must stay ahead of the local bounty hunters Deckard and
Hassan who seek to bring them to justice.

**Muuti** continues to expand his criminal empire through the trade of illegal human modifications. Fusing scrap and Alien technology, the modifications set to enhance the human experience by increasing skills, abilities and powers beyond that of the average human ability.

## **Mods**

Illegal modifications based on fusions of scrap and abandoned alien technology are what helped Muuti rise to power. Modifcations or 'Mods' are developed from advanced alien technology, and fuse human genetics with mechanisation.  In the form of hybrid robotics, or hidden implants, these Mods can enable the user certain upgrades often giving people god-like enhancements to; run faster, increased intelligence, dance better, psychic abilities and many other upgrades. However they are also popular for those wishing to pursue scandalous vices, previously only obtainable in augmented realities.  Breakthroughs are being made almost daily and the endless possibilities of self improvement are staggering. As with any cosmetic surgery there is a slight hitch, these mods are highly addictive and Muuti is the only one who provides these services. Money talks in this town, keeping his residents safely in his pocket where they belong.

  Those who seek modification do so at their own risk, as each modification becomes increasingly addictive, as the addiction grows, so does Muuti’s wealth and power.
