Ok here is how we are going to do it
Everyone is going to come up with exactly 1 City Theme or Threat
Here is the format
----
Threat or Theme
A Threat is an immediate situation to the city and its occupants that is new and has a clear and obvious solution. Monster hoards? Kill monsters
While a theme is a long standing and often systematic situation in the city. Slavery in Rome is a large one
Short name
What is it?
Faces
The Faces are 1 or more people who represent or are involved in the problem.
----- Here is an example -----
Theme:
Slavery
The trade of slaves in and out of the city has been causing a lot of pain and aggravation towards the different factions and their neutral occupants
Faces
Captain Von Slave Pants: A police captain who wants to enslave the world
Captain Von Non-enslave Pants: A Police Captain who wants to not enslave the world
---
Next are locations and they go in a rather similar way. They EACH have their own theme or problem as well as one face who is the representative of the location. They can either be the cause or possibly someone working towards a solution.
---
Location name
What is the location?
Locations can be either small points of interest OR Larger communities and neighbourhood. For the sake of this I am going to count places outside the city so long as they influence the city (For example maybe there is a rat infested village that causes plagues in the city somehow)
Theme or Threat
Quick theme name
What is the threat?
Face:
(Essentially who is the cause or is trying to help. Locations tend to only have one face... but go ahead and have two)
--- Example time ---
The Coliseum
A large Coliseum located within the Heroes' quarter where people come far and wide to watch the games and take part.
Theme
The Heroes always win
The heroes have been winning game after game and it has long since been tedious to both the audience and the contestants. It is very likely their cheating but who can find out?
Faces
Claudius Maximus: A heroic demigod who wins every game, a jerk, and a louse to boot.
---
Now here is People... People isn't free form and they MUST be assigned to a location or Theme but for the sake of this thread they do NOT have to be assigned to a theme or location you make.
Note: for the sake of other things... You can attach characters to yours.
Edit: Sorry I am not clear... People you write for any "face" you create. You can create extra faces for other locations and themes other people make or to your character.

Now I am going to be Very loose with some of this here are some extras
Locations can also be
-Other planes
-Conceptual locations like "The outskirts" or "Alleyways" that aren't a specific place or neighborhood.
-Locations, cities, neighborhoods, dungeons, towers, anything outside the city so long as it has a direct influence on the city.
-Villains: Think of them as over arching threats created by an individual. (Note: This is extra, you must create 1 location before you can use this extra)
-Faction (Extra, please create 1 location before you use this extra)
People can also be
-Groups of people
-Gods
-Hoards
-Forces
--Basically anything so long as it can have a motivation.
And you place them here
