Denon is a world of opportunity, splendor, and unique locales. All of Darkwire should be quite familiar with the Seven Corners of District 7, but with the crackdown, it's time to explore neighborhoods beyond our traditional haunts. That's where our contestants come in!

AMCO AMCO Gemma Hentz Gemma Hentz Das Das Under Foot Under Foot , you have all volunteered to put your creative energies towards building some neighborhoods/wards/chunks-of-what-have-you to put into an as-of-yet unnamed District X! You are permitted to submit as many times as you would like over the next two weeks (Ending on April 3rd 11:59 EST), or until all contestants are satisfied with their contributions. You are also allowed to collaborate with others and the other contestants if you would like; just make sure to annotate any assistance received, including any art you may choose to provide.

The theme provided by the Creative Team is Entertainment!

You can interpret this however you would like, and you may diverge from the theme as long as you have one submission that is relevant to the topic. If we have enough submissions, it is possible unused submissions might be used for something else unless you would like to reserve it for yourself.

The Creative Team will be accepting roughly 3 to 5 submissions for District X. Once all submissions are in, the winners will be collected and combined into a district! Prize information, forthcoming. (Bribes accepted)

Below these instructions, please submit one neighborhood per post for your contributions with the following template:

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Population:Moderate,
  • Wealth: Wealthy[/B] An exclusive district frequented by Denon's elite and a destination for rich tourists.
Description: An affluent neighborhood that places an emphasis indulgence. This district features classy restaurants, high fashion labels, showrooms displaying luxury crafts (speeders/transports/yachts), a theater, and art museum.

SECURITY
High – Regularly patrolled by the finest Corporate Security Officers.

(OPTIONAL) HISTORICAL INFORMATION
This district was constructed with the posh in mind. It is a new destination for wealthy tourists and members of the CAD elite to unwind. Corporate Security has a noticeable presence to keep things orderly. Rumor has it that Gemma Hentz had a heavy hand in the development of this district.

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Population: Crowded; Fortune's Warren is filled to bursting with well-to-do gamblers with money to lose, desperate people trying (and more often than not failing) to beat the odds, and underpaid employees just trying to make it to their next paycheck.
  • Wealth: Medium; vast amounts of wealth flow through Fortune's Warren, but very little trickles down to the poor. In stark contrast to the ads, Fortune's Warren is more often than not somewhere dreams go to die. The loan sharks, drug dealers, and assorted scoundrels operating out of the ward are more likely to make a fortune, at the cost of 'a few kneecaps' and 'the odd gunned-down debtor/rival/tourist'.
  • Description: Fortune's Warren is named for its dense, almost labyrinthian streets and the fortunes that are allegedly made here. It is a great place to make (or more often lose) a fortune. Casinos, bars, nightclubs, and seedier establishments are found on every street and a mixture of elevators, shuttles, and trams produce a constant stream of new customers. Finding fun is decidedly easier than finding profit. The further up one goes the tidier and wealthier the Warren gets - conversely, the lowest reaches are violent, dirty, and marked by palpable despair. Some Corpos make their way down to the depths, usually for legally (and morally) questionable purposes. Smart Corpos bring bodyguards.
SECURITY
  • Medium; CorpSec keeps the peace in Fortune's Warren, protecting citizens (aka consumers) and valiantly upholding the law. Allegedly. In reality, security is mainly handled by the surprisingly well-armed private security forces of the ward's largest casinos and certain 'respectable' gangs. You know, the ones that make consistent donations to CorpSec. This security solution does a good job of protecting the interests of local 'stakeholders' (aka property owners) and preventing violent crime (outside the poorest parts), but the due process is somewhat lacking.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The transformation of the ward into Fortune's Warren started off with a pair of competing (allegedly) casinos - the Pearl of Fortune and the Golden Maze. Both still operate, though it is an open secret that they are now (and always were?) owned by the same conglomerate.

As other businesses cropped up to support and compete, the ward changed. Slowly at first, then very quickly.

Tenants were evicted on tenuous grounds to make room for construction projects, communities were broken up, and the more uncooperative gangs were slaughtered wholesale by a mixture of CorpSec officers and heavily-armed mercenaries. As the expansion continued, it began to spread down, once more uprooting some of those who had been forced out to make room for the fancier establishments 'upstairs'.

The end result was an apt reflection of Denonese society as a whole - the top is wealthy, clean, and thoroughly profit-driven, the middle is dingier but equally mercantile, and the bottom is filled with the desperate and impoverished. If the latter wanders into the former, they are more likely by far to be given a pummeling by a casino mercenary and a stern warning not to 'loiter' than they are to receive any sympathy.

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
SETTING INFORMATION
  • Population: Moderate; More Denonites pass through the Gemini Strand than those who actually call it home, mostly on their way to more important (and less seedy) destinations in District X. The majority of the Strand's permanent residents make their homes in the tenements found along the avenues. Many are working-class families, relying on access to the Strand as a means of dispersing through the rest of District X with ease.
  • Wealth: High; Cybernetic enhancements aren't cheap, especially the illegal mods that make up a large portion of the Strand's market. Between the resident junkies constantly upgrading their gear and the ever-flowing clientele from the rest of Denon, the Strand sees a steady stream of Credits.
  • Description: Named for the pair of parallel avenues that run the length of the sector, the Gemini Strand is a reclaimed section of District X that once housed several nefarious CAD labs dedicated to reversing cybernetic implants. After the initiative went bust and CorpSec withdrew its interest in the area, local cyberpunks reclaimed the Strand for themselves. Former clinics have been retrofitted, operating now as cyber-parlors for body modding. For less cybernetically-inclined visitors to the Strand, other colorful forms of entertainment can be found; Dive bars, spice dens, and fight clubs are around every corner, provided you know where to look. Beyond the main drag are dozens of low-income tenements that cradle the edges of the Strand, connected by crisscrossed alleyways that form a web of footpaths and backstreets.
SECURITY
  • Medium: While CorpSec has been known to respond to reports of explicit criminal activity in the Strand, they tend to steer clear of their former sector when it comes to regular patrols. The people who worked together to reinvent the Strand as a safe haven for cyborgs still watch over their sector today, protecting their own and those who seek refuge among them.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Gemini Strand began as a social pet project of the Corporate Authority, an attempt to curb what they deemed to be 'excessive and dangerous' body augmentations among a growing population of cyberneticists. Initially, the program saw success; Dozens of 'dangerous' cyborgs and augmented Shadowrunners found themselves stripped of their mods, crammed into congested tenements, and left to suffer the side-effects of the Corpo scientists' wholesale malpractice.

Eventually, though, the CAD found other avenues for routing out cybernetically enhanced agents, resulting in the abandonment of their cyberjunkie rehabilitation clinics, and the Strand as a whole. With the power vacuum just waiting to be filled, the maimed and forgotten cyberpunks reclaimed the Gemini Strand. Great lengths were gone to in the plight to reverse the damage done by their corporate overlords, but when it was all said and done, the Strand became a proud sector where all cybernetic Denonites can feel at home.

Whether you're a modder looking for your next implant or just a worker in need of a drink, the Strand has exactly what you need.
