Name: Copell
Famous for: Copell is best known for it's constant art's festivals. Commonly dedicated the month of may to music and June to preforming arts in drama and theatre. Some of the biggest theatre productions originate in Copell. Boarding sports are common too, with a beach to surf at a mountain half an hour away and many skate parks. This is the place to be.
In the past Copell was known for it's huge leaps in medical technologies and other genetic advancements.
Common crimes: The drug trade is common along with gang wars. The police department is corrupt and secret research facilities are hidden on the mountains. Assassination is becoming more common as world powers like to take time off here and there is lack of security.
Type: City
Description: Copell is pretty much set up as a grid city, the bases of the tallest buildings in the centre and they work their way out. All buildings in the area are a mixture of old and new skyscrapers with coffee shops and cafe's to cater to office buildings. Further out to the east there are Hotels and higher end apartments a area prominently for theatrical and a shopping purposes to accommodate tourists. This is a main stream urban area close to the mountain side.
Outside this section of the city are industrial and old abandoned buildings. The slums hidden by highways and monorails, paper floats down the dusty streets in this area of Copell. The run down place is where crime bustles, blooms and continues to grow where the red light is at, the drug trade at it's strongest. The place police avoid as they let rabid senseless street wars battle it out. This area is known as Urupha.
In the south west district are the ports, where most shipment trades are handled. Of course this is the hub of where drugs originate in Copell as nothing can grow naturally in the infertile soil. The docks also handle high tech merchandise for research facilities and some of this genetic based tech disappears into the mountain.
North of the docks are the pristine beaches of Copell, local government likes to spend time cleaning this area for tourists and sport enthusiasts. With a walkway on the beach front that runs the length of the city it can act as a spine to get you almost anywhere. Prime property is on the beach front, Copell museum is located here.
The whole northern section of the city is residential area a few apartment blocks and Copell University campus, one of the largest campuses of all time. Only starting as a school of trades teaching people basics to getting jobs one of the most highly rated universities of all time. Expanding their campus so it is as big as a moderately sized town. Fully equipped with a sports stadium and preforming arts centre, a fully fledged research laboratory and even your nice little cafeteria.
Copell's central hospital is located west of the city centre close to the beach as it calms it's patients and their families. The exclusive private school simply known as “The academy” is located close to the edge of the city in the far south. It accommodates children from as little as four years old to eighteen, not much is known what methods of teaching is used there. But many parents able to get their children swear by it.
Authority: There is a man by the name of Christopher Collin who runs this place. He is a kind and open man, shares views with the people and will stand up for them when needed. He listens to the people's opinions before making big decisions. He is a prime target to assassination so his large exclusive security body is always at his side.
Common weather conditions: The climate here depends on where in the city you are. Near the beach is commonly tropical sunny often getting nice large waves. On the opposite side further inland near the mountain the weather differs. Rain or shine often windy here is where all the office buildings like to base themselves.
At night Copell has been known to submit to the fog that rolls down from the mountains, civilians are complaining this fog is causing more harm on their lungs than it did twenty years ago. The cause of this change in chemical properties of the fog is unknown, tests run shows unknown chemicals and no industrial pollution from the city itself.
Law enforcement: The Copell Police department is a large one. Even for a city of it's scale, at least bases in different districts. These guys don't share the views of Christopher Collin, they'd hunt vigilantes rather rather than support those taking their “catch” even in saying so. Most are being paid to let the thugs run on a loose leach.
History in brief (almost): 1800s Copell came to be when indigenous tribes mixed with missionaries in a small island country off the coast of South America. At first those mishaps of communication came into place but as both sides learned together a strong bond and understanding was formed. This village grew bigger and bigger as more and more discoveries were made in the area. Advancements in technology and it's prime location kept the populace growing.
1900s Copell became a huge cultural mixing pot and street wars began. As skin colour began to matter and religion did too. People would fight to prove to others they were superior, this period of time didn't last long as larger authorities were sent from older more refined governments and made roots in Copell. These authorities also sent registered forces to enforce peace on the people. As more blood was spilled and people grew fearful they pulled back creating the slum area and separating themselves from those who live in other parts of the city. These people were threatened by those authorities before they left to whence they came. Here both sides either basked in bliss or hid in fear.
1920s-1950s After a leap in technology Copell decided to further research instead of sending civilians into war. Separating themselves from the queens rule with ulterior motives. A promise to ensure the empire always conquers over all with aid of new weapons developed in Copell. New military methods were tested in Copell also high in the mountainous terrain where military personal could avoid customs as authorities overlooked such bases.
1960s-2000s More and more research went into more practical things and advancements in computers and medical needs surfaced. World media eventually uncovered secret research in powerful weaponry and human test subjects that caused the downfall of Copell's city council. Crime rates rose and unemployment became more common, as more research facilities were shut down more families were thrown onto the street and Copell plummeted into a depression. A new council was eventually selected but each had similar motives that the people disapproved of.
2000s-present More than two thirds of the populace protested against the council as a revolution, physically walking into the building and tossing the council into prison. They decided they wanted a real democratic party. A council was voted upon by the people and their leader voted again by the people. The current city council is working in pulling Copell out of the hole it dug itself almost a hundred years in it's past, Christopher Collin the current mayor is a favourite of the people. He is having trouble controlling police and other public forces. But is doing his best to ensure safety of it's citizens.
Economy: Copell's economy depends on tourists, running events and other happy-go gimmicks that appeal to travellers and holiday goers.
Copell makes a fair amount selling genetic information in their scientific breakthroughs. The drug trade also fuels the police force and the underground economy.
Notes: Copell is the origins of a plasma based substance dubbed Khromerse. It's effects and capabilities are unknown. The city of Copell itself hasn't really made advancements as there is lack of the plasma substance.
