From Shadow to Shadow
There are those who say that New York is the city that doesn't sleep. Those people have not spent any time in LA. The Big Easy has a reputation for fast, freaky fun. LA gives you freaky fun fast. You know, you've been here awhile. No matter what lifestyle you've chosen, you can attest to the strangeness that pervades even that part of Los Angeles that could be considered 'normal.' That is the outside.
The inside is another story altogether. Even if it weren't for the Shadowkind that have been showing up (and maybe you're one), the city would have an underbelly of mysterious and macabre. It's still your city. The place you chose...….

Create an interesting character and leave the min-maxing at the door. You won't need it. My only pet peeve for this type of game, because it is set in the 'real' world, is that it is still my world. If I say that the Young Research Library has three floors, you don't need to let me know that it has five (or however many it does have, I didn't check) and if I put an In-n-Out Burger on the corner of Comstock and Hilgard, that's what's there. Other than that, an action point can buy you a gas station in the Mojave (okay, maybe two for that), so you can shape the world, too.
