Piltover Piltover is a renowned progressive city, dubbed the City of Progress for its innovations and Academy. The city became particularly famous for its Hexgates, the scientific utilization of what was dubbed Hextech by its Piltovan pioneer, which revolutionized travel and trade for the rest of the world, for which they have since become the global shipping lane.

Zaun Summary= Also known as the Undercity, Zaun is a city across the river from Piltover, a large portion of which runs beneath the latter. Whereas its upper counterpart is thriving and rich, Zaun is the opposite, becoming almost literally the catch basin of the waste from the city above it where its residents try to survive from scraps spared to them. One known part of Zaun is the Lanes. Though technically under the governance of the Council, Zaun has virtually been cast aside and left behind. While Piltover prospers, the city is perpetually riddled with crime. So heavily polluted, its air said to be denser than Piltover's, that those not native to Zaun find the need to wear gas masks when visiting, and Piltover residents deem the undercity as dangerous. This has caused rising tensions between the two, and some figures from the Underground, such as Silco, yearn for independence, wanting their home to become a nation of its own. Due to the lack of true supervision over Zaun, the city is silently controlled by a group of chem-barons. Reception to Robocop= Due to Piltover's neglect and previous abuse from Enforcers, citizens of the Undercity will initially be hostile towards RoboCop. RoboCop's actions will determine if they will be willing to cooperate.

Silco: Role= A drug kingpin who formed the Chem-Barons and serves as their leader. He introduced the drug shimmer to the Zaunite population. Appearance= a tall and thin middle-aged man with pale, greyish skin, black hair with a grey streak styled into an undercut, a right blue eye, and heavy scarring on the left side of his face. His most notable trait was his left eye, which lacked an eyelid and appeared to be heavily discolored, with an orange iris and black sclera. He was also generally seen wearing a red and black Piltovan three-piece suit. He often wears heavy makeup and several layers of foundation to hide the fact that his facial scarring is slowly growing worse. Personality= a ruthless and brutal, yet highly intelligent and cautious man who is willing to do anything to carry out his ambitions. Despite all his personal faults, Silco has a sense of honor and values loyalty, as his generation only survived to the present day because of how loyal they were to one another. As a result of this, he has little respect for the chem-barons and view them as parasites who take the luxuries that they have for granted and do nothing but leech off the legacies of their ancestors.

Sevika Appearance= a muscular, brown skinned woman of middle-age. She has short, black hair and grey eyes. She wears common Zaunite clothing dominated by earth tones with some additional copper elements and accessories. She is often seen wearing a red poncho on top of her regular clothing. Due to a shimmer explosion that took her left arm, Sevika would have it replaced with a copper colored chemtech prosthetic. Out of combat it functions as a regular prosthetic, while in combat it can enhance her punches by injecting shimmer into the device and her own bloodstream. The hydraulic piston enhance the physical force of her punches, while also extend the reach of her mechanical arm. Because she uses shimmer to enhance her prosthetic left arm, the entire left area of her body shows cracked blue and purple scarring and veins (most noticeable are her scars on the left side of her face), which becomes more prominent and purple in color every time Sevika injects shimmer into her bloodstream. Personality= As Silco's second-in-command, Sevika is described as a frightening presence in Zaun, keeping the other henchmen in line. Running a tight ship, Sevika doesn't tolerate weakness or failure, often severely punishing those who fail a task.

Singed Role= Once a brilliant alchemist at the Piltover Academy known as Dr. Corin Reveck, Singed was dismissed under mysterious circumstances and now resides in Zaun, where he would be hired by Silco to invent the drug known as Shimmer. His twisted experiments are funded by the Chem-Barons, with each grotesque mutation and vile concoction made with the goal of curing death itself. Appearance= When Powder defected, Reveck was caught in one of Powder's monkey bomb explosion, which blew up directly in his face. This event left the alchemist burned and scarred, and from that point forth he would be known as Singed, the decrepit, mysterious doctor covered in scars and bandages. Personality= Cunning, cold, and apathetic, Singed can perform the most sickening and inhuman acts without any show of remorse or discomfort. Lurking in the shadows of Zaun, Singed is extremely intelligent, patient, and secretive, and is shown to be willing to work with any side if he believes it could fund or further his experiments.

Chem-Barons

Vi can commonly be found at the Last Drop, a bar passed down by her adoptive father Vander.

Her top is tucked under a pair of somewhat baggy sage-green pants with dull grey stripes running downward in a pattern, the right pant sporting a brown flap pocket. The look is finished with a pair of worn and weathered knee-high boots. Vi's Personality= a tough, cocky, and hot-headed woman with a very loose respect for authority figures. Her relationship with Caitlyn and the time they've spent together has changed Vi her perspective of the topsiders, realizing there are people who doesn't look down on them and actually are kind and empathetic. Powder's Role= Also known as Jinx, Powder is a former Shimmer addict who worked for Silco. Through help from her sister Vi, Powder broke her addiction. Within the Lanes, Powder runs Jinx's Playground, an arcade named in memory her late adoptive brothers Mylo & Claggor.

She has pale blue stylized cloud tattoos on her right arm and midriff and her nails are covered with blue and pink paint. After rejoining her sister, Powder cut her hair short, as well as dyed some of her hair purple and has paint markings all over her clothes and body. Powder's Personality= Powder is much more confident and skillful than she was as a child During her time working for Silco, Jinx became more chaotic and prone to hallucinations due to the effects of Shimmer, even enjoying becoming a criminal and being slightly sadistic. After breaking her addiction of Shimmer, Powder became more compassionate and less prone to hallucinations. Powder is extremely protective of children due to her upbringing, and offers her arcade as a safe haven.
