 Organised villainy tends to be strongly hierarchical - with a small number of people in charge, layers of middle management, handlers or similar, and lower-level Underlings below.  The organisation does not care about the individual, at any level - each member is simply a replaceable cog in a larger machine, and those who succeed within the structure are often those who can sabotage others who might replace them. Organised villainy tends to be strongly hierarchical - with a small number of people in charge, layers of middle management, handlers or similar, and lower-level Underlings below.  The organisation does not care about the individual, at any level - each member is simply a replaceable cog in a larger machine, and those who succeed within the structure are often those who can sabotage others who might replace them.

 Any company who considers themselves a global presence will have an office here - Central is a place where deals get done, where boardrooms and backrooms murmur with the sounds of trade and efficiency.  Those company executives mostly commute in from elsewhere, as the residential areas in Central itself are much less pleasant - dark, dank housing packed in as tightly as needed to supply workers to meet the voracious demands of the upper city, with gangs providing the only order and opportunity for many. Any company who considers themselves a global presence will have an office here - Central is a place where deals get done, where boardrooms and backrooms murmur with the sounds of trade and efficiency.  Those company executives mostly commute in from elsewhere, as the residential areas in Central itself are much less pleasant - dark, dank housing packed in as tightly as needed to supply workers to meet the voracious demands of the upper city, with gangs providing the only order and opportunity for many.

 The people of Central tend to be ambitious - the corporations present an ideal of riches and glamor earned through serving as an employee, and the gangs present themselves as the best option for those who can't secure a corporate job to carve out a slice of their wealth.  Advancement is cutthroat - corporate culture making colleagues compete against each other for the best positions, and criminal enterprises often working on a very literal culture of "dead man's boots".  It's not uncommon for the organisations to poach the best members from other organisations (legitimate or criminal) - either through corporate headhunting or kidnap. The people of Central tend to be ambitious - the corporations present an ideal of riches and glamor earned through serving as an employee, and the gangs present themselves as the best option for those who can't secure a corporate job to carve out a slice of their wealth.  Advancement is cutthroat - corporate culture making colleagues compete against each other for the best positions, and criminal enterprises often working on a very literal culture of "dead man's boots".  It's not uncommon for the organisations to poach the best members from other organisations (legitimate or criminal) - either through corporate headhunting or kidnap.
