History
Arco Station & Retreat is a newly created Encampment established in the Bundleton region of Alamond. It is located in a high mountain desert area of flatlands and colorful rock formations with a large lake nearby next to a forested mountain. (There will soon be grazing lands for a small cattle ranch to the south of Arco Station and a multi-crop farm to the north, closer to the lake and available water.
Arco Station & Retreat was Founded by Rodak (last name) and Raphael de la Varga with a Recommendation from Zachary Hepplewhite of Hepplewhite's Circus and Grand Revue. The main purpose of the Arco Station is as a Home Base for the Adventurers' Society, led by Raphael de la Varga, and as a Residence for the Arco Boys and their families, led by Rodak (last name).
Era & Themes, General Feel & Esthetic
The general Esthetic of Arco Station might be called American Vintage. All of the permanent structures and features; buildings, race tracks, parks, etc., have a look and feel of the 1930's and 40's Era America on an Earth World, despite everything being engineered and built to much higher standards and with much better building materials.
The general Theme of Arco Station's Attractions are part Vintage Motorcycle Racing and part Fantasy Renaissance Faire, all with bit Modern Post-Apocalypse thrown in for fun. There are Race Tracks outside of the Downtown area with many Pavilion Tents setup in areas leading up to and around the track area that look part Ren-Fest and part Post-Apocalyptic Camp with Fighting Pits hosting Combat Displays to watch and canvas tents hosting Vendors with Wares for sale.
Despite the high energy nature of many of the Attractions, the general Feel of Arco Station & Retreat is relaxed; without a hint of 'city hustle' present, it's obvious the Citizens tend to take their time, in general. Also, Visitors tend to slow down and take more time to enjoy the sites and sounds in and around Arco Station when visiting the area.

Non-Borns (40)
These Non-Borns suddenly showed up or were attracted to the area from 'somewhere else' to help run the place. Each had a Skill Set needed in Arco Station and Retreat and each was welcomed in and each found a niche where their skills were needed and they could feel useful and welcomed, which they were. Most took Service Industry Positions; Cashiers, Clerks & Vendors for Shops and Booths... Bartenders, Cooks & Waitstaff for Eateries & Watering Holes... Cleaners of Laundry, Businesses and Homes... and a few other specialized Professions to help fill in the gaps allowing the Arco Boys to focus on their Specialties; Racing, Combat Performances & Weaponry, and of course, Mechanics and Fabrication/Repair.
