First, a little history: the original Basin City was formed during the Gold Rush as a mining camp. Like many other mining camps of the era, entertainment was made by call girls. And during that time, a large number of women were brought in to keep the miners happy. These women ended up forming what is now known as the district of Old Town, where the prostitutes live. In addition, the people in charge of the city remained in charge, running it as they saw fit. When the city appeared, in southern Colorado, various factions tried to take over it, but were repelled back –in a rather brutal fashion. As it stands now, both in its core universe and on Coreline, ‘Sin City’ is noted for having a bar on every corner and police who are mostly corrupt with little regard for the law. All kinds of illicit items and services can be obtained within Sin City, and there’s very little people that can’t be bought within its limits. As well, there’s not one person –Fiction and Real alike- that doesn’t has a dark secret and the occasional desire to ‘go out with a bang’. A good deal of the Fictions inside the city limits follow ‘pulp rules’-they are somewhat better than the normal man, but don’t have the excessive punch that some Fictions can get to obtain.
