>>97882598Have some of them be massive piles of shit that earned their poverty. Have some of them be bat shit crazy. Have some of them be the nicest people who had bad things happen to them. Make most of them desperate but have different lines they won't cross. Usually the worst person they are the fewer lines they won't cross.This is true of any faction you write.
>>97882598just add some orcs
>>97882598Make any attempts to fix the situation doomed to fail, either from external (raiders/looters regularly come and steal anything pretty/useful) or internal (bucket of crabs mentality, try to improve = get fucked by envious neighbors because "who do you think you are faggot, better than us?"). That way a shit district will stay a shit district, and any good people will either confine their goodness to their homes, or move out at the first opportunity.
Study ghettos and find a group that will believe you.

Go to one and ask locals for tips.
>>97882598sit in on misdemeanor court, watch bodycams for simple battery and trespass failure to leave. Best option is to befriend a defense attorney. They will have a million stories and the right ones deal with people from the ghetto daily.
