Setting Details

The plan is to use the 'generate as you go' setting details from Spectaculars to flesh out the world as things progress. So all details that get established as canon will go in here.

The City

City Name: Arcadia

In What Decade Does The Story Begin: 2020s

What Makes This City Different From Every Other City:
- Scarred by Disaster: Just under 10 years ago Arcadia was rocked by an earthquake as a supervillain sought to obtain an item of immense power buried deep under the city and heroes rushed to stop him. The resulting shockwaves opened up a vast chasm in the centre of the city which, even after a decade of rebuilding, remains an ugly scar on the face of the city.

Districts, Boroughs and Neighborhoods:

The Bad Neighborhood - The Pit; the name given to the slums and shantytowns which have emerged at the edges (and even on the sides) of The Chasm. The living conditions are dangerous, even after a decade of work to secure the walls of the chasm shifting ground is still a possibility, and the people live cheek by jowl with heavy plant and industry which exploit the exposed minerals.

Landmarks:
- The Chasm: A vast open pit which is now part heavy works (deep mining) and part shanty town. A constant reminder to the city of what terrors super powered individuals can be capable of.


Words Which Describe The City:
- Dangerous
- Diverse
- Overcrowded
- Run-Down

How Common Are Superpowered Heroes:
- You Cross Paths From Time To Time

How Often Do Superpowered Villains Menace The City:
- They Show Up Every Few Months

How Does The Public Feel About Powered Heroes:
- Respected, But Warily

How Do The Authorities Feel About Powered Heroes:
- They Are Loose Cannons

How Does The Media Portray Powered Heroes:
- Centers of Controversy; the media is very much split between the two extremes.

How Often Do Superheroes Die In The Line of Duty:
- It Happens Every Now And Then

Heroes and Villains

Somewhere for known NPCs, with particular focus on other supers (both good and bad) as they come up in play.
