—INTRO “Madness, as you know, is like gravity— all it takes is a little push” -The Joker
Dawn City, one of the largest cities in North America. A magnificent sight it is, occupying the entirety of Sturgeon Bay on the north-western shore of Lake Michigan. The downtown is north most, inhabiting nearly the entire massive split part of the peninsula. The city, like most, has seen it’s golden days and it’s… Lesser than golden days. Of course, cities will rise and fall. Unfortunately, this city has plunged into chaos. Not by the economy, not by the criminals, not by any means, no, in fact, this city is extremely well-established upon a strong economical base. If you go here, you get rich, that’s how it works— opportunity takes it’s place here. Opportunity, though, can sometimes be dangerous, especially in the case of prime times. For those who wish to see the world burn, that is. A plague spread by… Who knows? It sort of simply… Appeared. Madness, fear, leading to death, perhaps is the beginning. At first, they tried to control it. That made things worse, leading to the schizophrenic psychos to even more rash standards. Fortunately, as the virus started, local hospitals created an antidote and offered it to the public. Not everyone could reach it in time, though, and those who kept their sanity are now trapped upon the larger downtown-inhabited island with the maniacs. Which is a good thing, of course, for most of the population. For those with trapped, though, not very much. The belief is held amongst the outside world that anyone in contact with the insane carry the plague, though, that, as we know, is not true… Probably. Maybe. Never mind, how would I know? They probably wouldn’t rescue you anyways. Load up on guns and fight for your life. Don’t trust anyone, unless they’re clearly sane. Some may not be affected as much as others. They aren’t necessarily zombies, though, they just see the world through a view of madness and/or fear. The plague doesn’t take their humanity away, no, it alters it. It takes the good world to them and turns it on it’s head to a bad world. Even the good people, it affects them too. They think themselves, they are the same person, the same soul as they were before, but can’t control it. ————————————————————————————————————————
—PLACES Map - https://gyazo.com/53ac2233b8508b8a86c2c60ddc06ff5c
Victoria : The central district of the city. This district houses most of the taller, high-class glass skyscrapers. Also holding most of the big-shot shops, this district holds a name for itself.
Mayar’s Bay : The north and east districts of the city. Lining the coast of Lake Michigan, this district holds most of the smaller, more ghetto commercial buildings and the famous Bay Park.
Bay Park : A theme park located in Mayar’s bay. Houses an out-and-back wooden roller-coaster, a Vekoma SLC, a boomerang, and a load out of flat rides. (I’m such a coaster nerd :P)
Springville : This small, cozy neighborhood holds the beautiful housing of the common wealth.
Lakeview : A neighborhood that holds true to it’s name, this nice contemporary neighborhood holds the housing of the more wealthy wealth.
Amber Woods : Amber Woods is a beautiful neighborhood built around a pond, holding the more retirement-friendly wealthy wealth houses.
Blue District : The blue district holds a less density of enormous glass skyscrapers, except holds the city’s prized Dawn Tower, an observation tower that rises across the skyline… For the most part. Some of the other skyscrapers surpass it’s height, but it’s still cool. Stop judging it for it’s height :c This district resides on the west coast of the city.
Thompson Park : A nice, relaxing park in the south-western edge of the city. Riddled with paths and nature, this is the perfect place for the urban outdoorsman. ————————————————————————————————————————
—Setting This RP takes place in the years of 2028, but, of course, in the RP, the city would’ve already been the size of a decent city by the year 2015. The bridges connecting the island of the bay to the mainland have been raised, and the RP begins in the winter. For those of you who noticed any similarities, this is inspired by the Dark Knight trilogy. ————————————————————————————————————————
—News Broadcasts April, 2028 - Live on TV “…rumors have been about of a virus being spread around Dawn City. Most likely just a lasting cold from the winter, but be sure to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer…”
July, 2028 - Live on TV “…according to local authorities, a virus that is known to make an individual unstable is loose around the city. We are taking action immediately towards this offense, thank you for your patience, citizens of Dawn.”
August, 2028 - Live on TV “…as we all may know, the virus has been taking a larger affect upon the city. We’re doing our best to contain the plagued, but good news— local hospitals are now offering medicine, in the form of shots, of course [nervous laugh], to prevent you from catching this. We are rapidly speeding towards the prevention of this virus, so no worries…”
September, 2028 - Live on TV “…as we can obviously observe, the… Cure for this problem apparently wasn’t strong enough. Hospitals are now offering a second antidote…”
October, 2028 - Radio Broadcast In a different voice, monotone - “Attention citizens of Dawn City. The plague has taken full-affect upon the city and connections to the outside world have been disabled, the bridges raised. We wish you luck, citizens of Dawn City. [Static]” ————————————————————————————————————————
