Starkweather

**Starkweather** (スタークウェザー *Sutākuu~ezā*) is a city of the state of Ohio where the humans, ruiners, familiars, and angels all live together.

## History

In a really long time ago, like in 1879, some people were walking in Ohio and found a little plot of empty land called "the land of oblivion." They thought it used to be a home for Native Americans before the Americans took over, and then it got left behind. The new people who came started building houses and businesses, mostly about farming.

One of these new folks was D. B. Raymond. He was 24 and liked making things with metal, especially sharp things. With his friends, he made a company that made sharp things, and the town, now called Starkweather, became known for making cool blades. D. B. Raymond was a big deal, and in 1888, he made Starkweather an official town.

Starkweather's blade business did super well for a long time, even during the first World War. In the 1920s, after the war, the town was rich, and even though some rich people left for bigger cities, Starkweather still did okay because of D. B. Raymond's business. In 1921, a guy named Matthias Hansen was born, and he would become a big shot in the town later on.

Starkweather grew, and in 1927, they made a high school because more people were moving there. But then the Great Depression came in the 1930s, and it was really tough for everyone. D. B. Raymond, who was retired and living in Oklahoma, passed away in 1934, and they did some memorials for him. In 1935, the high school got a new name to remember a famous aviator.

During World War II in the 1940s, Starkweather's blade business went back to making parts for airplanes. Matthias Hansen became a popular guy in the town, and in 1955, he became the mayor. They even planned to build a big house for him in 1959, but it didn't start until 1961.

The 1960s were a bit tough because some bad people from New Jersey moved in, and teenagers got mixed up with them, forming a gang called the Southwest Syndicate. But in 1969, a big fire happened, and it was really bad. Some gang members got hurt, and two of them, Nolan and Miller, got arrested. People got mad, and there were protests to free them. Finally, in 1970, they were let go after Matthias spoke out against the police.

In the mid-'70s, the gang stuff went down, and Starkweather started to do better. Matthias stepped down as mayor, and David Atreides took over. In 1977, the high school moved to a new building, and in 1979, Matthias passed away. His family moved away forever. Around the same time, a little kid named Silver got really sick and passed away, and everyone felt sad.

In the '80s, Starkweather got better again with new technology, and the high school became really popular. Families moved there, and the school had lots of students. But in 1989, a student named Louise died, and it made everyone really sad. The school struggled after that. In October of the same year, another past student, Dorian, also passed away mysteriously, making things even sadder for the town.

After he died, weird and crazy stuff started happening in the town. People went missing, and some died, but the most talked-about things were when folks said they saw Dorian, and there were rumors about angels walking around. This made the people in Starkweather really scared and crazy, and the town felt super gloomy. This went on from the early '90s until about 1997.

In 1997, people got so mad at the mayor that they started rioting, and a huge fire happened soon after. The fire destroyed most of the town, and a lot of people died. During the riots, Mayor Vernon got killed.

Then, in 1999, a new mayor named Isenberg took over, and the town started to build itself again. They made a bunch of new and modern buildings, and by 2010, the city finished all the big projects to fix things up.
