Before The Fallout, this was a fairly prosperous place, but the destruction caused a considerable amount of damage to the District. In the immediate aftermath, those businesses and people who could afford to move out did so. City planners started reconstruction efforts, but most projects were left half-finished after budget cuts. They did, however, manage to erect a statue of Wallace Udarnik to commemorate his victory – although, nowadays, the statue is almost constantly covered in anti-Spark graffiti. Furthermore, with the departure of the city council, more unsavoury elements have since moved in.

Building Sites

The number of unfinished city council projects have left the area with a number of uncompleted building works, abandoned once the money ran out. These sites offer a potential shortcut to the residential area, or a cool place to hang out, but kids who do so should be wary of running into danger: be that the lack of health and safety, the local bullies, or the members of the mob who use the unmonitored area to conduct their business.

The Udarnik Centre for Excellence

The Udarnik Centre for Excellence is the local high school in the area. It was funded by the government alongside the initial post-Fallout investment in the area; much like everything else, that care and attention has fallen by the wayside somewhat. However, it certainly remains a place to get an education – more or less.

Hope Clinic

Both drastically underfunded and in high demand, the Hope Clinic is the only clinic in Citropolis that specialises in sparked medicine. Waiting lists are extremely long, and the lack of research into this kind of medicine means that offered services are very limited, no matter how hard the staff work.

Stonebrick Apartment Complex

Not everyone was able, nor wanted, to move out following The Fallout, and those who remained live mostly in the apartment complexes still standing. Stonebrick is a typical example of one of these: tall, grey, and full of people. Should problems occur, both landlords and the police are notoriously slow to respond, so residents of Stonebrick tend to be fairly self-sufficient.

Doctor T. Russell (he/him): A fast talking, brilliant, incredibly overworked but dedicated doctor at the Hope Clinic, Dr Russell is passionate about his patients but is stymied by the lack of funding to the clinic and the lack of research into sparked medical issues.

Pearl Amato (she/her): The mysterious head of the ‘local business’, a shadowy figure who, if the rumours are true, has her fingers in any number of local dodgy dealings.

Pete ‘Lucky Leg’ Long (he/him): Amato‘s right hand man, much more familiar to the locals as it is him that does most of the dirty work and transactions in the streets.
