Overview ~

Kasumi Goto, one of the galaxy's most notorious and most skilled master theif, has her roots in the Southern Japanese city of Osaka. Her mischievous past living in the relatively crowded city has painted her personality, her way of life and eventually leads to her life as a master thief. In the city of Osaka, a city with several million people, towers, small high rises and buildings flood the skyline, almost similar to its early 21st century form. Though the population of Japan has almost halved, immigration from various nations across the planet have kept the nation stable. Though Osaka's prevelance in crime still persists, with the highest crime-rate in the country.

Thanks a lot, it's actually because I was trying to make a more 'sunset' like atmosphere :P Global Warming affectting the light is negligible (unless there's present pollution), but its effects on the Earth in the 2100s aren't :P

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Note: This isn't exactly a well done update, but I think it turned out alright

:P

And yes, for some reason, everyone in Japan is driving on the right. I forgot to change the driving side okay?

:P

Also, it may be worth noting that I used LE to merge my Mass Effect BAT with the Dome of Discovery from the STEX

:P Holograms everywhere. Also, we are now moving to the next character; Kasumi Gotō, who hails from the city of Osaka. In this update, you'll come across the fact that the year is 2167 CE.

Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Honshū. Year 2167 CE. On Earth, a young girl, by the name of Kasumi, lives in the dense urban jungle that is Osaka. Japan's population which halved in the last century is now stable with people from all over the planet moving into a country that is need of immigrants from other nation-states. Now a more ethnically diverse nation, Osaka is seen as one of the Earth's leading metropolises, one of many cities thave have been long renowned on the planet. She walks the familiar streets of her city, living a normal life with her parents in a modest apartment in the wards of east Osaka. She goes to school, listens to her parents, does the occassional chores and plays like a normal child. A normal life.

But not really...

osakacastle1.jpg

The beautiful city had plenty to offer her. Opportunities of education, entertainment, excitement and everything in between. But her personality never felt it was enough.

She would walk around the city, spying for objects of interest. Anything that caught her eye. She would walk by the Hoshichiri Corporate offices frequently, a Human-lead mining corporation which had boomed after launching mining operations on distant moons and planets. It now boasts as one of the Earth's several largest mining firms. She often looks at white-collar inviduals who would pass her by, oblivious to her presence.

And then.

She would strike. Without warning. Without notice. Without detection.

She would often walk to place where pedestrians were heaviest.

She would sneak away from her parents or escape the house without her being seen. She was devious, and would create set ups, fooling her parents and confusing those she stole from. Above her, a tall domineering tower with an holo-ad advertising 'Colony Life' in Japanese stood. She would enjoy walking through the crowds that walked out the building, taking everything she could get her hands on.

She'd even come during the night to find unsuspecting victims to steal from.

Her Kleptomaniac personality lead her to all sorts of places around Osaka. Along the harbor, she would act without suspicion around unsuspecting tourists and off-worlders. When she first saw an Asari, the immediately jumped at the opportunity to see what she may have had in her pockets. It was a good day for her.

During events, her parents would take her and watch anything that went on. She'd deviate occassionally or when walking with her parents, make a sly move.

osakacitytomboririvercanal.jpg

Some of her 'excursions' would often lead her here, the Tombori Riverwalk. It was her favorite spot to steal from in the city. Her fast approach and evolving skills almost made her unstoppable and undetecable. She'd find every vulnerability, opportunity and possibility. Her growing Kleptomaniac personality made stealing in to something she greatly enjoyed. Though it may seem evil for her to have been stealing. To a point, she would often steal to help those less fortunate than her. She wasn't truly heartless.

osakacityoldrails.jpg

From there, she would run and go through the older rail systems of the city to get home. It also was her way of making sure no one was able to follow her.

Then she'd sprint back home...and enjoy what she may have taken.

To be continued.

You have some of the most creative city journals on here. It's one thing to post pictures of your city and then talk about whats in it. It's another thing to show pictures but to tell a story as well.

For anyone who hasn't played the Mass Effect trilogy, do it! It's one of the most immersive and beautiful games ever made.

Amazing imagination! 

You know, you can expand your stories sometime in a blog or something, or even start writing a story in your freetimes. You shouldn't let a talent get away or stay limited in simcity4. 

 

Good luck! :D
