Year: 3048
Location: Mars, Olympus Mons
In the Year 2038, the official colonization of Mars began along with it’s terraforming. Teams of scientists began to install themselves in order to gather information but these teams soon became numerous and by the next few decades, they started calling themselves Martians. Slowly, more and more people started coming and the economy started developing. Now over one thousand years after the first step of its colonization, the Mars colonies are well established and dedicated to the terraforming of their planet.
General aesthetic
Since the mission of these people is terraforming, the overall aesthetic is very technical (Mars terraforming is calculated to take approximately 100 000 years). Pressure suits are a necessity as soon as you get out of the shelters, gloves with integrated heating are also a necessity as well as helmets and oxygen tanks. For now, the use of glass or ice is highly used in the habitation concepts for future Mars, in a way where everything can be seen. However, knowing the Mars climate, we can assume every crack and surface will be covered in sand. Everything is white/clear but there is a forever ingrained rust layer over everything. This universe can also be separated in 3; Vasilisa and the knight’s reality, Baba Yaga’s Kingdom and the Tsar in the outer sky. Vasilisa’s reality, as well as the knight's, is to terraform Mars. They work every day of their life towards that goal. Which is why their universe is much more technical. They wear pressure suits every day, they work outside and sand has collected on their outfits over time. Baba Yaga’s reality is very different. She is in control of the market of any resources anyone would need on Mars and lives in her overbearing house over the Olympus Mons. The aesthetic of this world is almost oppressive in its dark lavishness. As for the Tsar, the aesthetic is overly clean and white. Everything is overly grand and imperial. The latest technologies are incorporated, nothing has been soiled by the reality of Mars.
