I'm up for starting at Chest Deep or Submerged. Then again, I'm pretty confident in my knowledge. Of course I could go down to Waist deep or something too. That's not a big deal, though I'd have to come up with a different concept. There are a number of good cities we could work on. I'd suggest Chicago since everybody knows it, but it's... a rough climate to play in, what with the Raith family, Marcone, CPD, and of course other elements. [hr] [hider=Suggestions] Oklahoma City - A crossroads in middle America, immersed in Native lore and culture, where all sorts of things come to stomp around. Not as big as Chicago but not a little sleepy town. Los Angeles - A city of lost angels, and some Fallen ones too. The concrete jungle is a place where the strong prey on the weak, litterally sometimes. Rife with crime, harsh climate, and riddled with allies and enemies alike. (The Fomor anyone?) Hollywood baby, it's everywhere. This place is also likely to have a lot of White Court, and the Raith Family. San Francisco Bay Area - The City by the Bay. The golden gate bridge. fog, mystery, intrigue... and who knows what sort of Charms this city could hold. New York City - The city that never sleeps. All sorts of things are biting in the Big Apple, one of the biggest melting pots in North America, where fortunes are made and lost, and all kinds rub elbows. Dog eat dog definitely applies. New Orleans & southern Louisiana - Music, jazz, great food. And freakin' voodoo and hoodoo magic man. It's a place where the spirits be alive, and things bump in the night, walking the swamps. Who knows what's happenin' on the Bayou out there, or in the seedy underbelly of this culturally infused city? Las Vegas - Sin City. Truer words were never spoken. Most anything can be had here... for a price. If you can think of it, you can probably do it. And what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... or does it? Miami - With a population of roughly five hundred thousand, it's small for those that live there. As a year-round destination for vacation and fun, there is something darker going on it's streets, dance clubs, and back alleys. Miami PD has their hands full just dealing with the drugs, transients, and trafficking. Never do they want to look too close at the other things out there, as they barely have enough manpower to handle the mundane things. It is so bad that occasionally something spills over into mainstream media, and then has to be covered up, such as the Causeway Cannibal incident years ago. - Who can clean this city up, and push back the darkness? And who is it rocking the status quo? Atlanta - The City of Roads - this is another major crossroads and transit hub. It's also got an ungodly amount of roads. Gambling, casinos located in the south and the heartland of America. Too bad that hard has begun to turn black as things have begun to eat at it's core. St Louis - Missouri's famous City of the Arch, or known to some as Devil's Gate. A river city and major transit hub as well, full of culture, and blue-collar workers. It is a city of hard working and honest folk, and those always trying to get ahead. For some it is a place where hope comes ot die, and others try ot make their fortunes. It is a place of mixed cultures, heritages. Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex - Everything's Bigger in Texas, including the mosquitos and other blood-sucking parasites. DFW area is home to stormy weather and plagued with a myriad number of problems. Who can sa for certain what they will or wont run into here? El Paso/Juarez/Odessa - Right on the border of Mexico, this place is anythign but sleepy. Between the Cartels, Immigration, and other LEO's this place is often a battleground. With the Cartels resorting to any method they can, Brujah (latin-style witches/magic users), shifters, and Ghouls are starting to wade into the fray. The forces of good are clearly in over there heads. Baltimore - There are pre-existing setup's for this Portland &/or Seattle - Northern coastal cities where things might seem sleepy at first, but things bump in the night here as well. How many disappear in the woods quietly, unnoticed. someone's quietly making moves here it seems. [/hider] [hr] These are just the ones I can think of for the United States. I'm trying not to give away too many elements for those not in the know.. and since I have no idea when in the timeline this will be taking place. At the same time, I'm trying to spark some imagination, maybe give an indicator of how those cities [i]might[/i] feel. There's also the Vancouver method of making our own fictitious city, which allows us as a group to come up with something unique.
