Culture & Contemporary Life

Social Media
Halcyon City supers log online to interact with each other on social media platforms such as Cape Connect, where hilarious villain fails go viral and Supers get to connect, be it for friendship or romance. Through CC, they can send each other messages, share media, and can unlock UMA-secured private servers with special features. These private servers are exclusively used for UMA missions to facilitate team communication and the features include tracking each others' locations, monitoring life signs, receiving intel, and much more. A life of a Super is highly connected to their digital devices and their social media presence determines their popularity with the mundanes and metahuman public. The more popular you are, the more likely it is for you to receive funding and resources from sponsors such as suit upgrades, high-tech equipment, mechanical augmentation, safe houses, monthly allowance, and much more.

Getting Around the City
Many Halcyonians get around by driving; the city is relatively car friendly, although there are the occasional traffic problems, particularly in the downtown area. Halcyon City offers several other transportation options, as well as ways of getting into and out of the metro area.

Transportation options include the ExpressBus, Metro-Way, taxis, and ferry/boat/yacht for sea or river travel. For licensed supers, some travel by air to reach their destination. Hovercraft is also a popular travel option by both Supers and non-Supers, however burrowing is strictly prohibited.

Superhero Spotting
A popular tourist sightseeing activity. Child tourists are given a colourful booklet full of superhero spotting challenges. Halcyon City's tourism industry makes money off of this by hiring photographers to take stunning scenic pictures of Supers in action. It is not uncommon for Supers to be blinded by flash photography during flight or battle.
