Midway
City Quickstart
|
 In
the far future, rich eccentric Clayton Douglas creates a distant planetary
colony using elements of technology and architecture from 1920s through
1940s America. Decades of increasingly corrupt and ineffectual Mayors
follow Douglas' death, eventually culminating in the administration
of the tyrannical Mayor Hoodler. Hoodler creates an oppressive police
state designed to ruthlessly control society, forcing total conformity
to Douglas' original vision. The characters exist in this dystopia amidst
cybernetic detectives, mutant mobsters, alien-touched drug lords, vat-bred
blue-collar workers, and human hybrids that can see into an alternate
dimension known only as the Jade.
