Alphabet City

Alphabet City gets its name from the Avenue names changing from numbers to letters. It shares its name with the real-world neighborhood.

Background
Alphabet city was the pre-war Bohemian enclave within the East Village. The residential area was filled with restaurants and bars, and was popular with students, artists, and young families. The people who resettled the area found the infrastructure mostly intact, but settled with a much different culture in mind.

Alphabet City is a militant settlement, with heavily armed civilians.

Inter-City Relations
Alphabet City is often fighting with Delancey St. Raiders, or ghouls and mutated creatures that make their way over from the South Sea. It gets along well with Gas House, but often skirmishes with West Burgbridge.

Alphabet City hates the NCSC, believing them to be weak and elitist. However, they are too far away to do anything about them. But they’d appreciate those who do.

Shooting Society
The former German-American Shooting Society Clubhouse is filled with mounted animals, and firearms.
 * Dr. Mallory Blade-Sheppard Evil incarnate. Living on the edge of the South Glowing Sea, Dr. Mallory Blade has mutated into a ghoul unlike any other. She is the cutthroat leader of Alphabet City, who rules with an iron fist and a pearly smile. No one knows what happens to those who go missing, but Dr. Blade is likely behind it, although no one would confront her with that.

St. Nicholas Kirche
The church no longer exists in our world, but in the fallout world, this church still stands, but was converted from a place of worship to a place of war. There is a shooting gallery, gun workshop, ammo dispensary, and firearm commissary.

Side Stories/Quests

 * 1) Summertime Comfort the orphaned child, and help find them a home within Alphabet City to keep them off the streets.
 * 2) Tender Shepherd Dr. Mallory Blade-Sheppard is grooming a cult of personality, and needs your help convincing the idiot masses to get behind her leadership. Or, if one was to expose her true nature to the public, they might either revolt, or simply fall in line out of fear.

Player Interaction
The player may choose to side with Mallory and sabotage the NCSC, but at little to no gain to the player, and will cause the ending of the game to be much more difficult.

If the player helps Mallory expand her influence, the land between Bowery and Burgbridge becomes occupied, and ironically becomes much more secure and safe. However, they hinder the trade between Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Relation to Main Games
A.C. Citizens sometimes remark: “What’s that thing on your wrist? A digital alarm clock?” in reference to the Pip-Boy 3000 Alarm Clock promotional item for Fallout 3.
