Editing Parks And Requiem

Founded in 1835, Shermer Illinois is the seventeenth largest city in the state, with a population of over 73,000. An hour northwest of Chicago, it's a vibrant community recently voted the fourth best suburb in Illinois!

Notable features of Shermer include:
*Shermer University, a liberal arts college famous for it's Pottery curriculum!
*Avalon Hills, the fifth largest open air mall in the country! Over 120 stores!
*Over eight square miles of pristine nature preserve, including a herd of real buffalo!
*A city government filled with Supernatural creatures of every description!

(Admittedly, that last part didn't make it into the brochures.)

== The Esohumans of Shermer ==
=== Kindred ===
* Johann Stadtler, ancient Ventrue who mostly wants the kids to get off his lawn and is still adapting to the 1950s.
* Spot, Gangrel hippie who keeps trying to hang out with werewolves
* Livinia Aster, emo girl, probably Mekhet, who constantly advocates for extended library hours (even though that's not Melissa's department) and zoning for more bookstores (even though that's not how it works) because 'that's where to find cute nerdy necks'
* Greg Bundt, the other local Ventrue, who was Director of Sanitation in the late 60s until he retired after a scandal where he showed up to city hall stoned off his gourd too many nights. Still has a taste for second-hand psychedelics, as it were, clashing with teetotaler Stadtler (who is thought to have engineered his removal).
* Nellie Pitchford, Nosferatu social media maven and professional conspiracy theorist. Currently on a kick about governments putting flouride in the water to make human blood less nourishing and making her ghouls drink raw water, but that probably won't last long before she moves onto the next thing.
* Amy Clark, Gangrel catlady and largest single donor to the local animal shelters. Advocates drinking only from vegan humans. Melissa's closest friend among the local Kindred.
=== Changelings ===
* Cynthia Margate of Spring - a sweet old woman who gives out precisely one size of knitted kitten sweatshirts as gifts. She always decorates for the meetings with homemade decorations. She’s more than a little nosy and knows a surprising amount about the Courts back in Chicago where her grandson and “his new wife the ‘dancer’” lives. Her eyes are two birds that nest in the holes in her empty sockets.

* Todd Barghest of Summer - As far as anyone can tell, he lives full-time in Chicago and is a stock trader. He has not shown up for a single meeting since Helena started coming. He usually texts her the day of each meeting (after having confirmed the calendar appointment weeks before) declaring that he’s swamped and really wishes he could be there.

* Scratchings-Eyebite Honestguy of Fall - Scratchings-Eyebite is two and a half feet tall, with needle sharp teeth and grabby little hands. He lives in a giant mushroom under a bridge. He spends his days trying to pay for socks with pebbles and challenging catfish to riddle contests. He is obviously a Gentry spy, but he is so comically bad at it that no one holds it against him.

* Neville Norwuich of Winter - the rule-follower, the paper pusher, Neville believes his talents as a contract lawyer are wasted in Shermer, both in the normal world and on this council. He sends detailed reports every day to his superiors in Chicago, methodically documenting every piece of “important news” in Shermer. He is… not someone you want to talk to in a party, unless you really want to hear about zoning laws and his recent issues with his neighbor’s birds (which is to say the birds that nest in his neighbor’s tree that don’t actually belong to anyone at all).

* Jayden “Goatboy” McAllister (it was his nickname before he became a satyr), leader of Shermer’s worst punk band.

* Olivia the Grump works for (and secretly lives in) the dump. She smells awful.

* Colin Jamison owns a house made of candy. The exterminators fees are obscene.
