THE EXHANGE AETHER
The Exchage Aether is a universe specifically built on the foundation of value and transactions. Almost everything here results in some sort of change in value.
It is led by Truss T. Fond, who has a very high amount of wealth from a near-endless string of perfect investments. It's said that Truss got so lucky through intervention of the Stockronomicon, but this isn't confirmed.
The Investasaurs are a race of so-so investors, who make about as many successful bids as failing ones. They tend to all follow the same mob mentality, where one purchase of one share pushes every Investasaur in the area to do the same thing. This, in conjunction with how gullible they can be, leads massive groups to be scammed all at once.
Startup Vipers are a race of opportunistic businesssnakes, who create companies made specifically to fail. They lead crowdfunding campaigns, amass great wealth, then nail the company into the ground and run away with all of the money. Startup Vipers are incredibly competitve, and often enter massive brawls that end in one of them dead.
The Mobile Stockcubes are a machine that flies around and acts as a quick investment and account checking computer. They're a smaller version of the regular Stockcubes, which can also change which index they show.
The Shady Dealsmen are a race of mischevious miscreants, who are mostly trying to bait people to stand on a specific spot, before pulling the rug and casting the victim into a pit of economic despair.
Blumbly Dumbly is a perpetually unlucky fellow. He might've been successful, once, but nowadays? No. Every single investment he's made has immediately crashed and burned, placing him in a position of limitless debt. While the Mini-ATM may say '-999', his balance is far lower.
