Cyberpunk City Generator
Mutant Backstory Generator

I made these two generators pretty much out of content that I have created for CyberRogue (a roguelike set in a cyberpunk city), but have not submitted to the maker of that game and had essentially kept it rotting on my Google Drive. I don't like having content I made be useless, so I decided to convert it into two random generators so that somebody could use it.

This is pretty much meant to be a swan song for me. I can't really do much on Bay12Games' forum, and it seems that it's probably for the best that I don't do anything, as Real Life is a more pressing issue. If Retropunk (the maker of CyberRogue) wants to use these generators, he certainly can, and I won't begrude him.

Spoiler: Work Cited For the Cyberpunk City Generator (click to show/hide)

For the names of the corporations, I used http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?555991-101-Names-for-a-cyberpunk-mega-corp, http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=corporationname, and the Original Syndicate Trilogy (Syndicate, American Revolt, and Syndicate Wars). For the randomly-generated names, I used http://www.behindthename.com, and for the different 'personality' descriptors, http://lotbieth.blogspot.com/2014/02/blood-words-and-money-organizations-and.html, and http://www.paradoxian.org/hoi2wiki/index.php/Minister_Traits . You can also detect some minor inspiration from the cyberpunk game "Chaos Overlords".

I know it sounds stupid to have a Work Cited page for a random generator, but I stand against plagiarism in its entirety.

The city generator is pretty cool.

If you have looked in the source code, you would have noticed that the city can have multiple possible origins, and one of those origins is that it is a "Special Economic Zone" located either in Somalia (a reference to libertarians' attempts to purchase land there back around the year 2000), and Hondraurs (a reference to the proposed model cities). But there needs to be more options for where the SEZ is located.

So I did a minor tweak to the generator to add in more possibilities for where the "Special Economic Zone" is located, following announcements of the creation of Liberland, a brand-new libertarian state located in the Gornja Siga region. There has actually been multiple attempts to create a libertarian state, and each possible location in the generator is actually connected to a real-life attempt to create a libertarian state (with the exception of Cortés, Honduras, which is not a 'micronation' but a "model city" that wants to 'officially' stay under the control of the central government).

I probably put in more effort into this generator than I had to.
