In a city in mid-west America something is about to happen. A minor mystery virus outbreak has everyone on edge but with modern medicine it's treated as an inconvenience. School has just let out, and summer is in full swing. The lake has parties like clockwork and so do the warehouses in downtown. The Ridges inhabitants hold their own private balls and the like. Downtown crime is once again on the rise. Everything is normal...for now.

Welcome to Cottondale!
The average mid west town, only a little bigger than most.
Downtown - Located on the southeast side of Cottondale it consists of bars, clubs, strip joints, and poor housing. The ghetto, slum, whatever you want to call it. It's the place where you lock your doors and drive a little faster when you pass through because of the 712 gang that rules it's streets. It is the biggest district in Cottondale and contains the Warehouse district as well.
The Ridge - Located on the northwest side of Cottondale it is the land of the wealthy. The privileged few who live here do so in mansions and manners passed on for generations overlooking Cottondale. Gated communities are present here also, but the Ridge is one of the smallest districts in town carving out only a small crescent out of the northwest part of town.
Suburbia - The second largest district lies between the Ridge and the Mason river. It's full of suburbs, public buildings and parks, and businesses and banks. 40% of Cottondale's population is located here, and all of the city's emergency vehicles such as police station, fire station, ambulance and hospital ect. Cottondale's only high school is located nearly in the middle of the town right next to the river.
Mason lake and river - The lake is located in the northeast of Cottondale and is compromised of lakeside properties and unused land. The boondocks of Cottondale. The river originates from the southwest and is fairly large, it makes up the unspoken border of Downtown and Suburbia. Only two bridges cross the river, one in the southwest and one over the area where the river joins the lake, the southwest one is used almost always over the northern one.
So thats the town where your character is going to live. One thing all the characters have in common is they have a nasty sick bug just as summer starts.
Remember, no powers right off the bat, they'll come later.
