Aurora Hills
A hillside city with a big car culture: quiet by day, loud on weekend nights. Its names lean Japanese-flavoured but stay easy to read.
History
Aurora Hills grew out of its docks. Fishing exports, fish markets and the road network built to haul them made the city, and the city outlived them. As export demand slowed the docks were left behind as a remnant of richer times. The roads stayed, and so did the car culture.
Places
| Place | What it is | Who you meet |
|---|---|---|
| Aurora Terrace | Your small rented apartment. Thin walls, a view of the strip lights. | |
| Number Seven Motors | Pops’s garage, named after his old race number. Locals call it “Pops’s”. Old race posters on the walls. | Pops, Ms. Ishida |
| Zeroyon Drag Strip | The local 400 m strip; locals run it Friday nights. | Starter Keiko, Jun Park |
| Job Board | Where you find paid work. | Daichi “Foreman” Ota |
| Junkyard | Parts, scrap and the odd treasure. | Old Mag |
| The docks | Where TEF began and where drifting lives now. See The docks. | Sweets, Panda |
| Back alleys | Where OTP members hang around at night. | Flauntive’s crew |
Culture
Two crews define the city’s scene: the quiet, selective Elite Few and the loud, open Own The Pavement. Between them are the garages, the strip regulars and the people who just like cars.
