The future of everyday life. Science fiction meets Realism!

Flair Search:

Sci-Fi Realism is a visual style that attempts to seamlessly fool the viewer into thinking fantastic technologies are actually real and well-used, giving such tech a sort of visual authenticity akin to an unaltered photograph. It also describes fantastic technologies and happenings that already exist and cause the person to say "I'm living in the future!"

It is a sub-style of Futuristic Realism.

Fantastic Realism is also accepted!

RULES:

  • Artwork, photos, videos, gifs, stories, movie screencaps, photoshops, anything goes.

  • Please credit the artists, creators, and/or copyright holders!

  • Not everything here is fictional. By the sub's very nature, many images will depict real life situations.

  • Though they are accepted, try to avoid vistas

18M looking for RP partner(s) for Discord Mecha RP!

Lore; The year is 2100

The city of LA is now a focal point of commerce, with the creation of the Great Landbridge, transit is streamlined between asia, africa, and america. Trucks and cars and trains can now drive through the megastructure or the canals. Crime is rampant, but so is trade, the second american civil war 70 years prior has spat out a wide berth of bitter veterans splitting south north and east, and corporate dominion chokeholds the west and southwest.

Terrorist groups ravage spain, morocco, algeria, egypt, iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan to unify it under a shared ideology, And the Spanish group “Frente por la Soberanía Española” wish to bring spain out of american protection militarily and make it a self sufficient state.

Russia is in civil war and ukraine is in turmoil from internal dissent by unhappy ethnic Russians, the east is in turmoil while Asian countries like Mongolia, China, Japan, Thailand and South Korea are dystopian technology states.

Space colonization and the T-01 and T-02 Space elevator are also focal trading points, allowing the sickly mars and moon colonies to survive, In space, simplified Jump Drives allow Ships to jump between specific points in space, but require precise coordinates and energy-intensive calculations. After each jump, the ship needs to travel in normal space for a period of time to reach the next calculated jump point or recharge its systems. Jumps can take minutes to hours, while travel between jump points could take days weeks or months.

The creme of the crop of military development are the MACE - "Mobile Armored Combat Exos", 22-44 foot tall (6.71 meters)-(13.41 meters) advanced fighting machines manned by human operators. Dubbed “Linkers” (commonly just called Pilots/Jockeys) these pilots use advanced “Neural Sleeve” suits to meld in with their MACE’s.

The police, military, and civilian industries or organizations use them.
