Faith

Faith, Ohio is our default city, meaning that anyone who comes in can build a character with out too much of a fuss. Since it's completely imaginary, here's a bit of help to give you an idea IC Perspective: Faith, Ohio sits on Little Miami River in Southern Ohio, Equidistant from Cincinnati and Dayton, but is closer to Wilmington than anything else. The city looks, and feels, like a once thriving area, that has fallen on hard times, and is long past it's heyday. Jobs exist, there is a local college, and business opportunities are present, but most people that live there, like most other cities of this nature, spend their days futily dreaming of the day when they will get out, and go to a real city. The business that keeps Faith running, and for all intents and purposes, alive, is Pharmatech Medical Technologies Incorporated, a Biotechnology company, most likely a subsidiary to someone else, where great scientific minds gather to advance healing and recovery treatments, through the use of science. Their most noted accomplishments, lauded in the Faith Tribune, have been advancement in artificial transplants, and muscle redevelopment therapy, though none have made it past initial testing yet. Holding a larger grasp than Pharmatech, though less openly, is The Sheridan Corporation. The Sheridan Corporation came to Faith in the 1930's, and saved the from obscurity as a pit stop along Highway 71, and built it up into a thriving area. In the past few decades, though, the city has fallen on hard times, and while the Sheridan Corporation, under the control of Donvan Sheridan, has maintained a fairly steady ecomony, were it not for Pharmatech MTI arriving in the mid-eighties, The Sheridan COrporation and Faith itself, would have died. Sheridan is more of an umbrella corporation for most businesses that come into Faith, holding some form of controling interest in everything. Even Nationwide corporations that have locations in Faith have dealt with Sheridan to some extent. OOC Perspective: Faith spent a good long while as a Camarillist city, until about 50 years ago, when the Archbishop in Burgandy began sending spies, and infiltrators to begin setting up for seige. Control was wrestled away, and Faith was claimed by the Sabbat around 40 years ago. The next few decades were spent uprooting and eliminating the remaining Camrilla influences. Most are gone, only a few remain. One has remained with any power, though none really know who it is, because it is too well hidden. On occaision, the Camarilla will try to make a play for some influence of another, but most are ineffectual. Keep in mind, just becasue you are Sabbat, doesn't mean that you're a monster. The difference between the Camarilla and Sabbat is morality, and opinion about Vampiric society. If you're not playing a Cainite, then don't worry about this part
