+Founded in 1810 this mid size city with a population of 600,000 has a long history as an industrial city, with steel mills, railroads and a port to the great lakes. +While it once was an industrial hub it's become a rust town, with Macdonald University and an indi art scene struggling to keep it afloat with small businesses trying to bring the city back to life. The decaying factories still loom on the skyline and now house large homeless populations. +The North End of the city, known affectionately as 'The North End' is still home to old Hammertown residents and is home to 2nd and 3rd generation europeans, labourers largely. They are a close knit community so drama is ever present.

Hammertown Attractions: +Jack Square: an old shopping mall that is kept afloat by some offices and call centers and small theater and food court. Homeless are often found around the mall. +St.Jimmy's: A local coffee bistro where Laine frequents. It's owned by Davey, a middle aged Portuguese man. +Cadillac Jacks: A local dive bar and watering hole where drinks and drama often happen as well as the occasional fight. +City Hall: The center of the center where government does its business and city meetings occur +The Beaz: A skate park downtown where skater kids often hang out, there's a bit of a turf war between the skater kids and the local homeless population +The Shared Den: A local hotel for travelers, they try to keep up the appearance of a high end hotel but they're actually pretty affordable. +St. Patricks: A K-12 Catholic school that many of the cities kids goto +Cathedral High: A Catholic High school with a reputation for having excellent athletes and sup par academics. Very Multicultural. +The Glass Works Factory: The Gang Hideout for the 'Street Devils' Gang +The Italian club: An old Sons of Italy social club now used mostly by old Italian men and 'The Itie's' Gang +Lo's House: A one level house with two-bedrooms, just outside the city proper—functional, clean, minimalist. Lol lives there with Jackson.

Factions:

Street Devils: +Local Gang that is made up almost entirely of locals, deeply rooted +Often involved in scraps and turf wars +Focuses on Car theft and Drug Dealing, namely cocaine, heroine and meth +Very influential with young adults.

The Itie's: +Members include: Geo, Pauley, Danny, and their leader Robbie +Local Italian gang, not Mafia but they wish they were +Primarily focused on gun running and drug dealing, almost exclusive cocaine +Gang hideout is at the "Italian Club"

The Light: +Charitable organization that focuses on helping the homeless and widowed +Run by Jacob, Laine's Grandfather and other older men and women in the community. Mostly Christian. +Have recently started helping people out of the gang life. +They Operate out of St.Patricks Church.

The Machine: +Biker Gang, colors are Dark Blue and Gold +Very Violent, involved in Human Trafficking and Weapons Trafficking +Run By 'Big G' who happens to be Laine's Ex-Boyfriend

Setting Notes: Police do their best but their understaffed and under funded so normally they don't get involved unless it's an absolute emergency. There is perpetual gang violence in the background of the city, it's a constant issue and the city is suffering from Meth epidemic with a growing homeless population that often wander the streets strung out on drugs. The Community desperately clings to hope, likely because of their European roots, they believe they can get through this time and they remember when Hammertown was a thriving city. The community is very tightly knight which makes breaking out of the various gangs and affiliations difficult, people know each other and have relationships. Social gatherings become backdrops for drama and plot points. Church, protests, getting together for beers, its all a place where story can occur.

Backstory: Lauren "Lo" Tomson grew up in Hammertown alongside her cousin, Lainey. Unlike Lainey, Lo had a relatively stable home life but fell into gang work out of loyalty. Lainey pulled her in to run lookout—and thanks to her speed and endurance, she became invaluable to the Street Devils. She stayed because of Lainey, not the gang. Her relationship with Jackson Candle is deeply rooted—they were childhood sweethearts, but in high school, Lo went through a rebellious "popular girl" phase, brushing Jackson aside for cooler crowds. After university, they reconnected, and now they’re engaged and deeply in love. Lo dreams of a quiet life—an organic farm, growing her own food, raising children. But despite multiple attempts, she has been unable to conceive. It’s a sore subject and a hidden emotional wound.

+Lainey Kennedy: Cousin, closest bond, fierce loyalty. +Jackson Candle: Fiancé, 31, athletic, deep love and unwavering support. +Andrew: Brother, 29, drinking buddy, keeps her grounded. +Merrick: Close friend, protective, treats Lo like a little sister. +Jim: Father, 52, Realtor, Naive about Lo's gang activity, treats Lo like his princess

Speech: Northern Ontario twang. Think relaxed, slightly stretched vowels. Occasionally drops the ends of words in casual conversation. Says “eh” frequently but unconsciously.
