Atlas Park
Atlas Park—named after the World War II hero Atlas who stopped the Nazi invasion of Paragon City at the cost of his own life—is the civic center of the city. At the center of the zone, amidst carefully cultivated gardens, sits City Hall where the famed hero trainer Miss Liberty is based. Novice heroes arriving here will find a contact within City Hall who will be able to set them up with some missions. These will most likely involve the Hellions who are Atlas Park's main criminal nusiance, albeit mainly of a petty nature. Also menacing the citizens are the Clockwork who spend much of their time stealing any metal they can. Atlas Park has a PTA Yellow Line monorail station and the Chiron Medical Center located near each other on The Promenade.
Atlas Park is, to many, the heart and soul of Paragon City. Named after the fallen hero Atlas(who sacrificed his life to save the city from an attack by the dreaded Fifth Column), the park is the safest area in the entire metropolis. It is often said that there are more superheroes in the zone than civilians. While far from the truth, it can certainly seem that way. It's not uncommon to see more than a hundred different heroes at the plaza, gathered at the feet of the massive statue of Atlas or mingling inside City Hall. More heroes congregate at the plaza than anywhere else in the city. At the plaza, heroes can train with Ms. Liberty or buy and sell training enhancements with the help of the Freedom Corps. Inside City Hall are five departments that specialize in providing assignments to new heroes. Supergroup registration is also handled within. In addition to the natural boost in security the plaza recieves from the dozens of heroes that gather at it, Police Drones and agents of Longbow patrol and secure the outlying parking lots and parkland that has recently seen some harassment from Hellions.
Yes, indeed. Though Atlas Park is frequently touted as the safest zone in the city (which it is), it still has a troubling crime rate. Though supervillains, mastermind criminals, and dimensional terrors are almost never seen in the zone, it is far easier for a petty thug to slip into the area and start up a one-man crime wave. Though most heroes are eager to begin grappling with the big guns from the start, they almost always begin on the streets, stopping punks from stealing purses and car radios. Nearly all of Atlas Park's problems are of this flavor. Hellions more or less have the market cornered on petty theft in Atlas Park - like gnats, they can be seen crawling over pretty much anything that looks tasty. It's not uncommon to see a Hellion commiting a crime on every street corner in the zone. New heroes are almost always assigned to combat the gang as one of their first assignments. However, though they may be common thugs at first glance, one must remember that the Hellions are publicly known for possessing innate supernatural talent. Though the thugs in Atlas Park are new recruits that have not yet mastered the satanic fiery talents their bosses wield, they ARE learning - and fast.
