An Article written by His Excellency, Mr. Geun Maeng, Reporter of Karakura News. Across Karakura the remnants of shops that once were exist, collecting dust for reasons either left to mystery or known to the public. A natural part of the progression of time storefronts hold a potential to become abandoned as they either go out of business or simply move to a new location. Many abandoned storefronts can be linked back to the reconstruction of Shōtengai, also known as the Shopping District. In which many storefronts moved following the construction period of the new and improved locale. From the outside it's hard to tell exactly which outcome may be the explanation, which of course your friendly neighborhood reporter comes in to do...

Architects of the town Written by Valen Takeshima Who are the people behind the buildings, streets, and landmarks that make up our town? The creative minds who design the spaces where we live, work, and gather. Who are the people behind the buildings, streets, and landmarks that make up Karakura? The Architects that come together and combine their creativity, planning, and knowledge that turned ideas into structures that shaped the way how Karakura is seen now. But what exactly do Architects do, and how do their designs influence us to see Karakura and call it home? Behind every designed building, is an architect who has considered its shape, structure, appearance, and purpose of every building created. They can...

Public Sentiment: What Does Karakura Think? A new Mayor can often be controversial, and the current one is no different by virtue of being in Karakura. With the recent appointment of The Right Honorable, Lord Katsuhito Saiky-Akihito, Mayor of Karakura, much of the public is left wondering what he has, or will, or may, bring about. Several political groups have formed that are decidedly against his appointment—against his person, for they were formed before he was made Mayor—while many other individuals believe that his recent actions (most notably, according to those who have expressed a positive view of him, the decreed illegality of the so-called ‘cult’ that is the Tenkai Fellowship) are the first steps in creating a better, safer...

[ ⋆˙⟡─ .✦⊹‧₊˚ ️๋࣭ . ݁ ˖ ] The Kassei-Ka mine, originally unnamed, has roots in the early spring of 1598 following a campaign by the three governors at the time. Done in an effort to seemingly stimulate the economy, the mine proved to do so a mere few years after its opening. The discovery of gemstone deposits in the year 1603 would prove this effort successful. Years following this discovery were met with abundance for the island, raising hopes regarding its future as a potential trading hub and wealthy nation. The gemstones were used in a variant of artis**** manner, leading to an overall increase of import and exports for the island. However, this free ride didn’t last for long.

If you know where to look, Karakura holds a vast network of waterscapes. Some known, some not, others merely passed by without a second thought. This report will focus on such areas, those specifically highlighting Karakura's inland waters both manmade and naturally occurring, with some landing somewhere between. Before moving forward it's important we understand exactly what we’ll be discussing. Due to the vastness this report will not focus on waterways closely connected or part of Karakura bay. Instead, focusing on those found throughout the city, from regions within Ochiba Forest to the city's various maintained Gardens and parks. Parks, Ponds and Gardens Starting off strong we’ll take a brief look at the networks of waterways...

License to drive, Do they Exist? As most people may know, you would need a license to drive, a way to identify if they are legally allowed to operate a vehicle. A driver's license serves as proof that an individual has demonstrated the knowledge, skill, and responsibility of driving. To obtain a driver license you must go through a test, and licensing authorities can determine whether a person is capable of handling a vehicle without posing an unnecessary risk to themselves or others. But do driver's licenses truly exist to prove if someone is a safe driver? Licenses do provide a basic standard of competency, but a license cannot guarantee that every licensed individual will always make responsible decisions behind the...

By Bartholomew Grant Various forms of property exist in Karakura from apartments, penthouses, houses to Estates and private boats. The ladder two less accessible then the first trio, regardless if you live in an affordable apartment at Complex G or a Large house alongside the shōtengai all citizens expect a place to live and prosper, a home. And with this comes a reality of paying rent monthly. Every citizen if they own a property in some form will be faced with this truth, except a privileged few who own their property outright such as the Estate holders or the Bobcat and Spartan Teamhouses. To put it short, there's a lot of properties in Karakura. 1,005 to be exact, at least according to this reporter's findings. And each property...
