MegaMetro. The city of superhumans. Ever since the first hero walked the streets, it has always been a place of action!
A map of MegaMetro.
(Note that this is heavily inspired by NYC.)
The entire story takes place in MegaMetro. It's placed on the Bloxy Ocean which surrounds the entire continent. MegaMetro consists of two islands and a piece of the mainland. The first island, called Abingdon Island is a bit like a fat L, but curved out and roughed up a bit. The other, called Lambourn Island is more like a 0, but once again it's organic. The bottom part of the 0 is inside of the L. The mainland area is basically part of a peninsula. Abingdon Island and Lambourn Island are cut apart by the Sorymo River.
They are connected by the following bridges:
Builder's Bridge: This bridge is dedicated to the people who first started the town back in the 1700's. There are plaques in the bridge that dedicate the bridge to the people who first built it. It was created for MegaMetro's 200th anniversary and is completely made out of steel and iron. This is the main bridge that connects Abingdon Island to Lambourn Island.
Remaro Bridge: This bridge is the most popular bridge for people to get from the two islands. Because of its frequent usage, traffic is often backed for the entire bridge from 3 to 6 PM. The bridge is named after Robert Remaro who was the 22nd mayor. He started MegaMetro's transition from a small city to a massive urban center. During his time as mayor, he built 37 skyscrapers and had 83 in plan to be made during his time. 23 out of the 83 skyscrapers have been built ever since. This bridge is made out of iron and steel.
56th Street Crossover: A small bridge that is made out of stone. This is the only bridge that connects both islands that are not a part of a highway. This connects 56th Street to Cortlandt Street.
MegaMetro Expressway: This expressway contains three bridges that connect all three parts in MegaMetro. The cars move an average of 75 miles per hour. This expressway is 23 miles long and connects every single district to each other.
The mainland is connected to Abingdon Island by these bridges:
MegaMetro Expressway: Read the explanation above.
Gurke's Bridge: The oldest bridge in MegaMetro. It is made out of mostly stone and metals. This is the only drawbridge in MegaMetro as the other ones have been upgraded. Dedicated to Aaron Gurke, the first mayor. This dedication is a plaque on both ends of the bridge. There is a statue near the bridge which was made for the 200th anniversary that is made out of copper.
Veranar Bridge: The most recent and the smallest of the bridges. It is made out of stone and steel. This bridge is the least maintained bridge in the entirety of MegaMetro. Thus, the civilians have given names to it due to it being neglected like: "The Abandoned Bridge", "The Bridge Stuck in Time" or "The Forgotten Bridge".
The mainland is connected to Lambourn Island by these bridges:
MegaMetro Expressway: Read the explanation in the two island connections.
Knight's Crossing: A decently-sized bridge. The bridge represents a bridge made back in medieval times and is made out of complete stone with only a stone border preventing the cars from falling off. There are arches under the bridge that keeps it held up.
Hero's Bridge: Traditionally used for victory celebrations after a hero defeats a major villain, also a normal bridge. The bridge is made out of complete steel along with iron and glows every night. It also has hidden fireworks inside it which shoot up whenever a villain is defeated. Also known as Celebration Bridge to residents.
The L is called Abingdon, the 0 is called Lambourn, and the mainland is called Tarporley.
Here's a summary of each area:
Abingdon- the center of MegaMetro. (Kinda like Manhattan.)
Popular Buildings:
- Mayor's Hall: Located in South Abingdon, close to the Mayor Mansion and Central Finance, it is a place where new laws are officially accepted, and is the Mayor's office.
- City Hall: Located in Middle Abingdon, it is where laws are initially proposed. The houses of the mayor are there along with the court.
- Central Finance Building: The center of the world's trade stocks. This massive and important building is 120 floors tall and manages all of the stocks of MegaMetro and Heroica. Because of this, it's the most defended building in the city.
- Breakaway Beach: This long beach that stretches the coastline of the island. It is located just south of the Mayor's Hall, it is an attraction for the local. Because of this, not many tourists come there.
- Thorpton Park: A quite big tourist park, it is in Middle Abingdon. Named after the Thorpton Building nearby which is a high-rise building that is 27 floors tall.
- Abb Amusement Park: A huge tourist attraction, one of the most known and best amusement parks in the world, named after Mega Metro inventor Charles Abb.
- Monument of Valor: A golden statue that depicts a hero standing upon the body of a defeated villain in chains. Located just west of the City Hall.
- Abingdon Piers: Piers located in West Abingdon, on the outside corner of the L. Cruise ships and coastal cruises come here. The mini coastal cruises are a huge tourist trap, and the cruises are for both tourists and locals. Only these tourist ships come here.
- Palomar Plazza: A commercial area located in South Abingdon. Many restaurants and shopping stores are located here. The Plazza is set up in the style of a road, except there are no cars; you simply have to walk. It is a fairly new location, being developed in the late 1990s.
- MegaMetro Opera House: A theater located in Middle Abingdon. The theater dates back to the late 1800s, and still runs to this day. It is a large, fancy theater with several theaters within it. All kinds of art performances occur here, with opera performances the most.
Districts:
South Abingdon: fancy buildings, skyscrapers, etc. Very high-class. Location of Central Finance. One of the world's richest areas to live and also where the majority of MegaMetro have their jobs at.
Middle Abingdon: The City Hall, Monument of Valor. A huge tourist area. Dotted by high-quality hotels and tourist attractions. This is also where the MegaMetro International Airport is.
East Abingdon: Lower class. An area of poor people/slums. Along the coast. Most crime located here is petty and no actual violence is done here although very common in this zone.
North Abingdon: Also rather lower class. More dangerous than East Abingdon. Villains are generally located here. This area has been designated as a high crime zone.
West Abingdon: Fancy, pretty. A very nice area. Most locals living in this area are rich and manage the zone. Although villains from the north side are slowly endangering the area. Most locals have superpowers though.
Lambourn- the more isolated part of MegaMetro. (Kinda like Brooklyn/Queens, but different. :3)
Popular Buildings:
Terama Park- Fancy park, bigger than Mega Park
- Monument of Honor: A monument to all dead heroes, shows a single hero surrounded by four villains. Located in the Forest of Hope Cemetery where superheroes are buried once they die. Funerals of famous superheroes and locals of MegaMetro were done here.
- MegaMetro Hospital: Main hospital of MegaMetro for people who have been hurt by heroes/villains. Known for its long waiting times but quality healthcare. The death rate is 4% despite the long waiting times.
- MegaMetro University for Non-Powers: The main college where normal people go to, it is in West Lambourn, along with the water. Known as one of the most prestigious colleges in all of Heroica.
- Sorymo River Park: A very small river park, families often go there to enjoy their day. Not as popular as Terama or Thorpton Park, but the people who know this park are very defensive of this park being the best park in MegaMetro.
- Ironsteel Foundry: A massive factory that produces a great deal of steel. The Foundry is owned by Ironsteel Corporation, a mining company located just outside of MegaMetro. The steel is often sold to construction companies in MegaMetro. The steel is also exported to different parts of Heroica.
- Lambourn Docks: Similar to the Abingdon Piers, but it serves a completely different purpose. The Docks are used for industrial import and export. Companies such as Ironsteel Corporation use the Docks to export their goods. Goods are also imported from companies outside of MegaMetro. Common goods include coal, steel, food, and more.
- Abb Stadium: MegaMetro has its own football team, called the MegaMetro Defenders. They play at Abb Stadium. Charles Abb, MegaMetro inventor (who died decades ago, and also created Abb Amusement Park), bought the MegaMetro Defenders when he was 32 years old. He named the stadium after himself. The stadium is now owned by the Abb Foundation, the same organization that owns Abb Amusement Park. Abb's grandson heads the Foundation.
- Metrona Bank: The largest bank in MegaMetro, located in Middle Lambourn. Most citizens invest in the Metrona Bank. In addition, government officials, including the mayor, do too. It is heavily guarded, just like Central Finance.
Districts:
South Lambourn: Nice area, lots of trees/families. Terama Park and the Monument of Honor located here. This is one of the richer parts of MegaMetro as the real estate has been on the rise in this area for the past decade.
West Lambourn: Also a rather nice area. On the waterfront. Nice grassy areas. This is also the location of MegaMetro Hospital. Despite this, it is not as rich or as populated as South Lambourn.
East Lambourn: A shifty area. Lots of poor people who don't have the money to live in the city. Warehouses/factories. Often polluted unlike the rest of MegaMetro. It is extremely industrial, and many industries operate here.
North Lambourn: Middle class. An average neighborhood. It is very industrial, just like East Lambourn.
Middle Lambourn: A blend of the other 4. More civilized around the edges, but in the center/east, it's less nice.
Tarporley- the most distant part of MegaMetro. Mainly government-owned.
Popular Buildings:
- Monument of Glory: A monument to the heroes who still fight today, shows a hero and villain locked in fierce combat.
- MegaMetro Military Base: A military base in MegaMetro. Holds 75,000 active personnel and 2500 armored vehicles. This is the only base within MegaMetro.
- MegaMetro Police Department: The world's largest police force is mainly stationed here. The MMPD is home to 50,000 officers who are trained to deal with normal crime and some super-crime. They are more disciplined than other police forces anywhere on Oberon.
- MegaMetro Anti-Villain Police Department: A police department dedicated to stopping villains. Due to the sheer power of the force, it is very rarely deployed. The department uses experimental gear, which has gathered controversy within the locals, mainstream media and even heroes and villains themselves. They are divided into three parts: the Department of Villain-Fighting (DVF), the Department of Power Research (DPR, or Department of Research), and the Department of Weapon Development (DWD). Each section has a building that makes up the AVD headquarters.
- MegaMetro Villain Correctional Center: This place holds captured villains. The Correctional Facility does not believe in the death sentence being the main way to teach villains of what they did as well as the politicians running MegaMetro right now. They attempt to educate villains about their actions and how they impact MegaMetro's society. Villains have busted out of the correctional center before, however. This is also the normal jail for regular criminals too.
- MegaMetro School for Superheroes: A school where training heroes go to learn their powers, it is in North Tarporley and government-owned. The place is not open to the public. It is only open to people who have been suspected of having a superpower.
- Beatt Park: A medium-sized garden-park for upper-class people, fancy restaurants, and beautiful gardens are here, it's in South Tarporley, named after MegaMetro born florist, Botts Beatt.
- MegaMetro Fire Department: Located right next to the MMPD, the MMFD, obviously, is dedicated to stopping fires in the city. Most fires occur in the industrial areas. Firefighters are trained to tackle fires of all sizes. In addition, they are also trained to prevent arson. Firefighters learn how to stop arsonists, and stop arson.
- Tarporley Port: A port used only by the government and other Heroica governments. This port is located in the property of the Military Base. 50 soldiers are deployed to guard the Port, and conceal it from the outer world. Government ships come to and leave from the Port, often for diplomatic missions, or government officials coming to visit MegaMetro.
- Kinarra Park: The home of MegaMetro's baseball team, the MegaMetro Eagles. It is located in South Tarporley. The stadium is fairly new, as the MegaMetro Eagles moved from another Heroica city. It is owned by Kinarra Comics, a comic company.
Districts:
South Tarporley: The nicest area. Middle/upper class. Holds the Monument of Glory. This is where most people live in Tarporley.
West Tarporley: Not very nice. Seedy area, home to several villain gangs that have escaped MegaMetro Villain Correctional Center. Known as the worst place to live in MegaMetro due to the high amount of crime here.
East Tarporley: Also not very nice. MegaMetro Military Base and MegaMetro Police Department are here. Home to more villain gangs. This is the most enforced part of MegaMetro and people who walk the streets of this district are often protected by patrolling guards.
Middle Tarporley: Decent. The government has put money into this area, so it's rather nice. Still, not many people live here. Mainly a barrier between the gangs and the most sensitive research areas. This is one of the many areas that are currently under development and by the time this project is done, it will probably hold up to 40,000 people.
North Tarporley: Completely government-owned. Holds MegaMetro Department of Research and MegaMetro Anti-Villain Department. This place is not listed in maps for this reason.
