What is the setting?

We will be an unstated city that you can imagine as a cross of London, Seattle, and Portland, Oregon. The time period is loosely now, meaning you're welcome to bring in some devices that are only just surfacing today (like the Oculus Rift or Amazon actually using drones for some deliveries), but it's still present day and chances are there aren't a bunch of cyborgs or whatever else. We are keeping vague as it gives us much more freedom long-term. To be clear, we may not even be in America. If you imagine how the setting was in Half Life 2, never clearly said, but suggested over time, you're right on the money. 

@KingFisher: I dig your character and think she'll do well here. My only thought is that the way you described her makes me think more psychopath, or close, than sadist. Does she develop emotional connections whatsoever, is it harder for her, or does she simply not give a shit unless she does? You mentioned she was on the spectrum of autism and I know some characteristics can be similar, so it might be worth some thought. Also, do you plan on her brother being a NPC/secondary?
