Welcome to portland, oregon, home to the runaways, the throwaway kids, the punkfreaks, and the trainhoppers. more importantly, welcome to a free land. in this city, the young adults have all the control. in the 1960s, young adults from all around the country and even the world began to reside in portland, taking over the underground scene, and even getting themselves mixed up in the "adult" world.
After the mysterious dissapearance of all adults, the kids soon figured out that it was no work of God, that the adults had simply moved due to all the commotion of the kids. to this day, the city is free to run amok and do whatever the hell you want. but as awesome and free as it sounds, there's also danger around every corner, and violence in every contact you come into. not only are you trying to keep yourself alive by having enough food, you're hiding from the most dangerous people on the planet: the untouchables. the untouchables have everything that you wish you could control. from being practically the president of portland, down to bossing around even the toughest kid you've ever known, the untouchables are routinely feared and extremely powerful.
[/font]Survival techniques are taking a different turn when it comes to this unsual living style. not one adult has tried to take portland back, and the population is rising. once landing yourself here, you'll be recognized as something. no kid is ever there just to be there. they have reasons for escaping. according to the stories, portland is all about love, freedom, power and most of all, just having fun. but once you actually arrive, you'll find a different view of the world's most popular "freedom land" - which really isn't a free place at all.
