By day, Luna Lockhart operates a trendy salon, skillfully styling clients' hair to code while gathering the latest intel from the rumor mill. As the light of day wanes, she transforms into a sharp-witted enforcer of the city’s byzantine Hair Code. Out on the prowl, she relentlessly hunts down illegal hair crime networks, trimming their sins with her stainless steel shears of justice, wielded with ninja-like acrobatics and unparalleled skill. (Play the role of your choice, be it hero or villain.)
The salon buzzed with activity all day, as clients came and went to have their locks trimmed and styled by the talented hands of Luna Lockhart and her associates. As she chopped and straightened and curled, Luna took care to style them in accordance with the city's Hair Code—a byzantine set of rules dictating how the city's inhabitants must maintain their hair. Yet not all was well, for as she eavesdropped on her clients' conversations, she felt a growing sense of concern. Rumors of a terrible, ongoing hair crime were floating around the city. As the city's top Hair Cop, she resolved to get to the root of it.
As Luna steps out of the salon after work, the city's artificial lighting makes the streets look like 6 PM on Earth—apart from the view of outer space seen through the windows high above. They reveal a glimpse of ships heading to port to unload ore from the day's harvest. This remote star system is rich in mineral wealth, but lacks any habitable planet, leaving the local population of approximately 200k to live inside an artificial environment designed to simulate humanity's native Earth, cradled in the confines of a space station orbiting the local sun.
Luna hits the streets, pondering how she'll track down the perpetrators of the latest rash of serious hairstyle malfeasance.
