They call it Sin City.
Just a little town literally in the middle of nowhere, sealed off from the rest of the world.
Sin City.
Once you go there, you never come back - Alive, that is.
It's every man for himself here. Friendships only last a few days before somebody stabs you in the back.
There are no rules in Sin City. You kill who you want to kill, you steal what you want to steal. What good can police do here anyways?
The smart ones know better than to go outside at night. That's when the real party begins.
A city full of vampires is what you might think. That's not quite it. It's just that you can get away with much more when nobody can see you.
Sin City is no place for the weak. You survive on your own food, under your own shelter. You try and survive for your own life.
Think you can handle it?

.: Setting :.



The following locations are based off of those from Frank Miller's 'Sin City' Comic series.


Basin City, nicknamed Sin City, resides on the Californian Coast and is barricaded by dense forests. The temperature fluctuates during each season. In the winter - heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. In the fall - Strong Winds and an average temperature of 65 degrees. In spring and summer - It is Dry and Arid.

Basin City came about during the California Gold Rush. A wealthy family, known as the Roarke Family, came to the area to build mines for digging out gold. They hired most of the miners that came their way. The Roarke's also hired women prostitutes to keep the miners satisfied during their work. The population grew, and it grew to form Sin City's tiny population of four thousand.

The Projects: The run-down and poor side of Sin City, that consists of high-rise apartments as well as high crime rates. Its inhabitants have evolved their own independent society with almost no legal contact with the rest of the City.

The Docks: A collection of wharfs and warehouses that are local to the Projects.

Kadie's Club: A strip club/bar full of drunk and violent men. Despite what is said, Kadie's Club is one of the safest places in Sin City.

Old Town: One of the only places off limits to police. This is where the city's population of prostitutes reside. Though perfectly willing to engage in almost any sexual act for the right price, the women of Old Town show no mercy to those who "break the rules" and back up their independence with lethal force.

The Farm:
The old Mansion/Farm where the Roarke Family used to reside in. It is blocked off by fences, yet many gangs have their meetings inside there.

Sacred Oaks: Home to the rich and powerful of Basin City. This suburb lies outside the city proper, a half an hour drive uphill. A university of some sort is also located there, and the entire area is patrolled by armed employees of its wealthy inhabitants.

Basin City Central Train Station: A train station that only goes to Phoenix, Arizona. It only comes by every three months.

The Santa Yolanda Tar Pits: An abandoned amusement park that used to display dinosaur bones to attract tourists. Tar pits were located around the rides. An old lady had fallen off one of the rides and into one of the tar pits, causing her to drown immediately in the thick fluid. The park was closed down immediately. It too is blocked off, but many people go there just to look around.



.: Organizations :.


The BCPD: Police Department in Basin City. They try and keep the City somewhat under control. Detectives that work for the BCPD usually go undercover to spy on mobsters.

The Girls of Old Town: Prostitutes that descended from the women formerly bought to please the miners during the Gold Rush. They can be very seductive yet extremely dangerous. Men usually don't know if they will come out alive from Old Town.

Wallenquist Organization: One of the 'Mafia' gangs of Sin City. It is led by Herr Wallenquist, a mysterious crimelord with a broad range of criminal enterprises to his name.

The Magliozzi Crime Family: The opposing gang of the Wallenquist Organization.

Tong Gangsters: A mix of Chinese-American and Black civilians who are mostly responsible for crime in Sin City.

Irish Mercenaries: Not really Irish people, but people who are usually hired for a homicide job. Most of them work for the Magliozzi Crime Family.

German Mercenaries: Only called 'German' because most of these mercenaries descended from Nazis back in Germany. They are hired for killing, stealing, kidnapping, or spying. They mostly work for the Wallenquist Organization, but most of them formed their own group simply known as the 'GM'.

.: Character Profiles :.






They call me: Anastasia Callahan
This is what I look like: http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q211/ilikeittfreshh/RP Pictures/LALA.jpg
How old do I look?: twenty two
Let's check what's down there: Female
I don't follow the crowd all the time: Straight
It's all good in the hood: Old Town
I am a slave for: Dancer at Kadie's Club, and also a spy for the Wallenquist Organization.
Well if you really want to know me: If one word could describe Ms. Callahan, it would be dangerous. Although she is one of the most experienced girls in Old Town, all her clients had to pray that they wouldn't be killed. Anastasia tends to do very violent things when she gets excited. Even though Anastasia is a prostitute, she is one that likes to hunt down her prey before going in on the catch. She doesn't really like giving her 'gift' to every man that comes her way. Her natural charm and seduction always gets her what she wants. Those two traits are what mostly got her into the Wallenquist Organization. It was easy for her to get in the WO because first, she was a pretty girl, and second, she was lethal. She could get information out of any man. To the rest of the girls, Anastasia is quite supportive of them being trained with weapons. She doesn't get jealous of anyone. If anything, she is almost like a friend to all the girls. Anastasia is highly experienced with using knives and handguns. She usually only kills if instructed to do so, or if she just really doesn't like someone. Anastasia is calm in most situations. It's rare to see her upset or worried about something.
I love it when: Stabbing things
Older Men
Exploring
The color emerald
High heels

What really gets me going: Cocky people
Anyone from the Magliozzi Family
The color Pink
Anything with more than four legs
Pointless fighting

Do you want an autobiography or something?: Anastasia was born in a little hospital near the edge of town. Ever since the age of six, she was taken in as a little sister by the previous girls of Old Town. After her mother turned 32, she was never seen again. Usually when one of the Old Town girls turned older than 31 or 32, they 'retired', in hopes that they would find true love and make a nice little home somewhere. Some took the train to Phoenix in hopes to start a new life elsewhere. Anastasia never really stopped to think about love. In a place like this, she didn't even know it existed. She used to have those silly Disney princess books when she was little. She always wished she could experience that in real life. The only problem with finding a good man in Sin City was that you could never expect them to live another day. It was a dangerous city after all. Anastasia liked Old Town, mainly because there were only girls there and it was quite safe from crime. Growing up in a 'girl ghetto' without a mother made Anastasia pretty immune to becoming upset over things. She usually didn't care about insults or anything like that.

Anastasia began working at Kadie's Club at age sixteen. In normal cities the age would probably be over eighteen, but there weren't many rules in Sin City. Police had more important things to do than to check the ages of the dancers at Kadie's. Anastasia loves Kadie's Club. It's known to be one of the safest places in Sin City. Many of the other bartenders and dancers there nicknamed Anastasia as 'Trouble', since she usually causes men to fight over her. The good thing about being a stripper in Sin City was that most guys didn't care about the hair color or the skin color. Most of them just wanted action without having to start a relationship. One night at Kadie's, a man had approached Anastasia and offered her a job at the Wallenquist Organization. She agreed, only because she wanted to see what they were about, and began working the next day. It fit perfectly around her work schedule, so one night she would be a stripper while the next she would be a secret spy. Anastasia has a small scar on her hip from one of her encounters with the MF. A man had pulled a knife on her after he caught her chatting with her boss from the WO on her cell phone. Luckily she escaped and contained enough blood to get to the hospital. Today, Anastasia continued both of her jobs. She gets paid, but there's really nothing to spend money on besides food and clothes. And of course, weapons. Anastasia is well known through out the city. From her history, she may sound like a whore without any morals, but in reality, all she wants is respect and of course, love.

Don't tell anyone this: Anastasia is obsessed with Disney princesses. Ever since she was little, she had always dreamed of becoming a princess and finding true love. No one knows about this though, since it would pretty much ruin her 'bad girl' reputation.
When there's nothing else to do: Anastasia likes to practice with her knives and guns out in the Farm. For a while she did gymnastics and karate, so she is very strong and flexible.

They call me: Izzy 'Z' Batstone
This is what I look like: [x]
How old do I look?: Twenty two
Let's check what's down there: Female
I don't follow the crowd all the time: Straight.
It's all good in the hood: The Projects.
I am a slave for: German Mercenaries
Well if you really want to know me: In a business that fuels itself off both silence and greed Izzy has grown to trust little but the weapons she carries. Even though she usually sticks to herself, when she has grown to know and trust someone, she is extremely loyal to them. Relishing in superstitions, she constantly carries them with her. She has a sharp tongue and can say little without it brandishing heat. Her emotions she chooses not to bear too easily. She is quiet, reserved and quite lethal. She doesn't give a flying ******** about what people think of her. She doesn't listen to the people who seem to have a problem with her or the way she does things. She simply kills them and moves on with her business. After all, It is her job.
I love it when: `Knifes
`Guns
`Music
`Formal Dresses
`The color red

What really gets me going: ` Big egos
` Ignorance
` Loud people
` Hip hop

Do you want an autobiography or something?: Izzy grew up in the rough streets of the projects. She never had it easy and for that reason and that reason only; she became who she was today. A cold, heartless young lady know as "The b***h in Red". Her parents were murdered in an attempted robbery when she was two and she was immediately shipped off to what she had guessed, one of the worst orphanages in the free world. Since none of her parent's siblings wanted her that was the way the cookie had to crumble. Even though she completely loathed the way she grew up, she wouldn't change it for all the gold in the world. She was abused and beaten to a bloody pulp on many occasions for not following orders. When they knocked her down and said "Stay down." she would get up. She finally got the balls to run away at the age of fourteen. Even though the orphanage was bad, she quickly learned that the streets of the city had the potential to be worse.

She had stumbled upon the German Mercenaries at the age of fifteen after she had been hit by a car. Inside the car was a GM member. She thought it wasn't serious because she had the ability to get up and walk away. Being knocked down and still getting back up was not the best trait to have in that situation. Luckily the Mercenaries took her in. She had never forgotten their kindness and generosity. They had told her she had the choice to leave or stay. She chose to stay. She barely winced when she was branded with the letters GM. She had devoted herself to serve.

Don't tell anyone this: Izzy's specialty had always been knives. Even growing up in the orphanage she would file down the edges of butter knives and threw them into a board in the alley way next to the building. She would use small pieces of paper as targets and as time went by and she got better the pieces of paper would get smaller.

She had come to learn very quickly that in a fight, guns trump knives any day. Bullets shatter metal in an instant. So, she went out and bought herself a pair of custom made, pistols. She carries her guns and at least a pair of daggers every where she goes. She never leaves the house with out them. She sleeps with them, showers with them. She would marry them if she could simply because they've saved her life on so many occasions.

When there's nothing else to do: Izzy always tends to play with the safty button on her pistol.
