Welcome to the Big City, bub.

Detroit the Motor City, Detroit Rock City home of Rock n Roll, Motown, Car Capital of the world....big deal.  This city ain't nothing more then a hell hole. Sure the outer limits of the city and the 'burbs around it are all nice and peachy keen, but once you get downtown you'd better be packing and I don't mean your suitcase.  For over the past couple years Detroit's slowly been sliding into it's own version of  hell. Streets are dirty, poorly kept up, and if you're wanting a street light to work on Cass Corridor, you'd better believe in miracles friend. Crime, corruption, drugs, gangs, violence and anything else low and considered the scum of the earth have made their homes in this lovely inner city. The cops aren't any better. Most the force is on the take, and the rest pretty much don't care. Oh sure, there's the occasional flat foot that cares, and actaully tries to make a difference but that never lasts long. Either they get on the take or they become jaded fast, and of course our lovely city officals aren't helping us much either. The Mayor seems to be a nice guy, he tries to get things done, but there is always something in his way. He suspects that someone in his office has an agenda that they don't want the Mayor to mess with.

On top of all that, some really strange things have been happening over the last couple years. Things that you just can't explain logically. People disappearing, strange deaths, things like that.  The police are writing it off in the gang wars that happen. But some people are saying that demons are swallowing the city piece by piece. So about two years the Church stepped in. Started giving everyone in the Inner City spiritaul guidance and all that crap. Saying that things like the boogie man and his pals weren't real. Since the church has stepped things have gotten even crazier.  Fanatics running around with thier bibles talking about a second coming, the devil is in all of us, things like that. Even though the belief in the supernatural is laughed at by the general public to begin with, don't ever say you dig vamp movies, or think Wicca is cool around a church nut. They've been know to renounce you right there, standing at the bus stop, and once that happens every god faring, church loving folk in the city knows your name and you're shunned by the mass public. Not a good thing.
