Aristos (Faction)

The aristos were one of the main political factions in City Shaft. They represented the aristocratic and bourgeoisie class, immensely wealthy and close to the upper echelons of power, like the Prezident.

History
All aristos were originally born without a halo. The halo was actually manufactured by the Techno-technos at the aristo-maternity, who stole babies from poor lower-level mothers. The poor babies' pineal glands were extracted and modified with Top-33 and were later insterted in the brains of the aristo babies, making the halo appear. All aristos received universal vaccinations at birth. Incest was also common among the aristos families.

Once they grew up, the aristos -as part of the city's elite- would engage in all types of decadent activites in Level 1. When they wanted to go to the Red Ring they would usually use hunchbacks or hire bodyguards to protect them. The most perverted aritos would also try to get a tourist pass for the Mutant GTO, in order to commit all kind of heinous acts there.

The halo
The halo not only functioned as a class signifier, which let them get away with anything they wanted, but it was also a secret saw-like weapon, which could be controlled using the mind. The halo could also be folded, which made it easier to hide and go unnoticed in the Red Ring.

The inventor and common criminal Oliver DiFool was able to create counterfeit halos, although they needed batteries to work.

Luz De Garra
Luz De Garra was the spoiled daugher of Prime Minister De Garra. She eventually fell in love with John DiFool and helped to uncover the secret behind the aristos' halos.

Mr. De Garra
City Shaft's Prime Minister and Luz De Garra's father. He was one of the key conspirators in the halo cover-up unti he was demoted.

The Prezident
The Prezident was the aristo president of Terra 2014.
