Plot


There have always been wars between people who don't understand each other, and who don't want to understand each other.

In the country of Nura gang wars have taken on a new leaf, and you cannot walk half a block in any one city without seeing some form of gang violence, or gang related propaganda.

In this country there are many different groups on the two different sides. There are those that believe that control of the country should be passed over to them, and there are those that the government has inlisted to protect the country from those who wish to take it over. Of course those wishing to take over the country would have an easier time taking it over if they could stop fighting amongst themselves, and join against their common enemy, the government and their lackies.

What side are you on?

The first two people to post their profiles under the good side will get to pick out the name of their gangs. After that other characters are required to join a premade gang. Of course if you don't want to be a gang leader than you can always decide to join an existing gang even if there are open spots.

Evil


Midnight

Leader: Lenore

Username: Edme McCormic

Character name: Lenore Garner

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Weapons: She carries two small pistols with her, and then a set of tonfas that were a gift from her adoptive father once upon a long time ago. She is very good with both weapons, and she jumps at the chance to show of her skills.

Personality: Lenore can be very boisterous, and loud when she wants to be, but when the time calls for it she can buckle down and shut her yap. She tends towards more sarcasm, and just plain being a pain in the a** because she has found that when dealing with the people of her group they will listen to her for fear of her. Those that actually decided to be around her find that she is a good ally to have because of her strength, and street smarts. Also her determination draws the people of her group to her, and makes them want to follow her even more.

Appearance: Bright red ear length hair, and fiery red eyes make her personality stand out even more, and add towards the scare tactic that she uses. She is around five foot nine, and between one hundred and forty and one hundred and sixty pounds, of course she is a real lady, and will never say. She has a strong build, but she isn’t so muscular that it takes away from her naturally well shaped female form.

Lenore is usually found in either all red or all black depending on the day, and her mood. The choice in style is always the same though. Tunic style shirt to cover her long torso, long flared pants that always touch the tops of knee high black lace up boots. A trench coat in the preferred color also always is part of her outfit. If you are going to carry concealed weapons then you need something to conceal them, and there is nothing better, or more cliché then a trench coat. Of course you can’t have any real style if you don’t have on elbow length fingerless gloves that are topped of with some sort of styling hat (hat also changes depending on the mood and the day.).

History: Lenore never really had a troubled childhood, but she likes to think that she did. People who know her know that she was actually a very loving, and kind child who always wanted to please. Something snapped in her though around the age of sixteen. She started playing with weapons, and hanging out with the “untouchable” crowd. Her old friends became afraid to talk to her, and shortly after that she dropped out of school, and started running around the streets like a bat out of hell.

About a year later she was picked up by a gang that was always looking for new recruits. With her new family she was given formal training in the use of the weapons she had been playing around with for the last year. They also preached to her their ideals on all matters, and formed her into the perfect little follower. She had become so brainwashed that she would blindly follow her leaders orders.

When the political issues of her group and those with similar thought became heated inner fights with the other gang led to the death of Lenore’s gang leader. Lenore was so angered by this that she swore revenge on those who killed her father, as she called him. It was at that point when the group decided to make Lenore the new mother, and those that follow under her rule have given themselves up to her service. The new power is still a bit unnerving, but she is getting more and more use to the idea, and is getting ready to lead her group into an all out attack.

Other: Lenore has one strict follower who claims to be the leaders bodyguard. Her name is Jessa, and was one of the untouchables from Lenore’s original group. She isn’t the best weapon wielder, but she is dedicated, and that is all that Lenore really cares about. The two are inseparable, and where you find one you find the other.

Ban

Leader: Vince Novak

Username: Mindlessinvalid

Character Name(s): Vince, Thane, Blaine, and Timothee

Age:(Vince)Twenty-five, (Thane)Twenty-four, (Blaine)Seventeen, and (Timothee)Eleven

Gender: All Males

Weapons: (Vince) A pistol with flecks of silver in it. His step father had given it to him as a gift of departure. He usually uses his odd style of combat rather than a gun. (Thane)A pistol. (Blaine)A pistol. (Timothee)Most of the time various sticks and is always found with a sharpened stick or bat in his hand.

Personality: (Vince) Has a frightening aura of him and uses it to stay leader of the group. Too stubborn to listen to anyone, but Thane seems to keep him in line about most things. Hates people for he thinks them annoying and usually a heavy scowl even puts Blaine in his place. Tries to be a lone wolf from the group, but they continue to follow. Doesn’t enjoy the role of being a gang leader.

(Thane) Has his wits about the streets and is generally known as the smarts of the group. He is the one that helps out Timothee keep along when Vince is in one of his moods and quickens the pace. Tries to keep everyone balanced throughout the gang.

(Blaine) Known to mouth off. Also known to be a pain in the a**. Continues to follow and take advice from Vince and Thane although he tells them all he could be better if he was on his own.

(Timothee) The tag along of the group so he always agrees to what the others have to say. Tends to be very childish. Affectionate and kind to everyone making him the sweetheart of the group. Has a childish ring to his voice.

Appearance:(Vince) Has black hair that covers the very tops of his black eyes. Usually found in dark clothing of blacks and dark blues. Most of his appearance belongs to the shadows that he lurks in than to be clothed in the leader of the small gang. He stands at five foot eleven with his shoulders somewhat broad and toned muscles. Always found with black fingerless what look like velcro baseball gloves.

(Thane) Naturally red hair that hardly match his piercing blue eyes. One to be silent as the winds. Usually wears ripped jeans and a (hopefully clean to him) t-shirt along with a jacket occasionally. Is open to some of the lighter colors of whites, blues, and greens. Only a few centimeters shorter than Vince. Doesn’t exactly have the muscles of Vince, but is close to it.

(Blaine) Bland coppery hair with light brown eyes. Usually to follow along with Thane’s appearance although he has a thin frame(for a guy). Tends to only wear short-sleeves and in the winter layers rather then a coat. Detests any mainly green clothing. Five foot seven with the stereotype look of a skater. Wiry body. Has a black baseball cap on his head usually turned to the left side or the bill to the back.

(Timothee) Bright red hair with natural streaks of brown that tone the red down. Enjoys bright colors. The shortest of them all with a height of five foot two. Has his own baseball cap which is a frayed red color with black markings on it. Generally wore goofily to the side unless in a fight where he turns the bill in a downward motion to the front to cover his right eye. Almost like a demon child when fighting with a brutal smile on his face.

History:(Of the whole gang) It all started when the four were brought together at a baseball game. All of them watching in one of the vacant pits. Vince at the side with his arms propping his body as he leaned against the low fence-type barrier.

Thane was busy tending to Timothee for both had found each other when Timothee lost his way from his parents and was crying. Now the small child was too busy prancing around with the hat that Thane had given him. The hat that he still wore today. Timothee always put a pleasing smile on Thane’s face.

Blaine was taking bets and mouthing off to the people around him like usually. Everyone always thought he was bilingual. He could speak English and profanity.

Vince spotted something in the sky, but couldn’t make it out due to the glare of the sun. A roaring noise came to all of their ears. A plane came crashing down into the stands to a far right of them, but a plane crashing into the stadium surely was enough to frighten the people all around. Two black cars burst from the opening of the stadium. One speeding towards Thane, Blaine, and Timothee. Vince upon reaction grabbed Timothee in a hug type way sliding away as the car crashed into the wall. Luckily Blaine and Thane had done the same.

All escaped and met with Vince and Timothee far away from the ruckus of the stadium. From then on Thane, Blaine, and Timothee looked up to Vince although he never asked to form the gang they had become one. The name, Ban, is an acronym standing for Baseball and something else that nobody knew except for Vince himself who gave the name of the gang. One of the few words he spoke to the whole of the group.

Other: Even though the gang has been together for a long time none of them truly know too much about each other. Each other’s personal history seems almost clueless to them all.

Good


Snowflower

Leader: Susianna

Gaia Name: Princess of DollLand

Character Name: Susianna Yi

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Side: Good

Weapons: She owns one silver pistol which she's used only once and is more for self defense than an actual weapons. She usually uses Korean street fighting techniques and dance skills in a fight.

Personality: She's very independent and intelligent. She isn't the type who seems like a gang leader when you see her outside of being a gang. She's affectionate and adorable and very kind. However, when she's with her gang, she turned cold like ice and deadlier than any poison. She doesn't like stupid people and those who prey on the weak and have taken to keeping peace between all the stupid gangs that have popped up and all the wars that been going on between them.

Appearence: Long black hair that has natural red, copper, and brown tones in the right light. Her eyes are a pale blue that turn almost white like ice when she's extremely angered or emotional. She's 5' 6'' and only a 127 lbs due to her dancer body but has more curves than a coke bottle. She doesn't flaunt them and tries to hide them but it's hopeless with her distinct and gorgeous looks and killer body.

History: Susianna's very rich, or rather her parents are, her father being a congressman. She doesn't care much for the money and has set enough aside through her own investments for a comfortable life through college and retirement which will grow with time. She uses what extra she saves on children and has actually started her own orphanage so she can properly take care of them.

Susianna had once been kidnapped and her kidnappers had thought she was pretty well built for a 12 year old and had raped her, brutally. She closed off the world after that and though her kidnappers were killed and no one let her know who had been behind it, she searched later and found out some other high congressmen had brought up a deal with some low born thugs who wanted the money to kidnap and rape her. She was a lone fighter for the most part just strolling the streets and stepping in if she saw things that were amiss. She's gathered followers mainly from those she's saved though she's never asked them to stay with her. She knows the city pretty well and has sent numerous officers to jail for being corrupts and many who would rape girls to jail also after beating them within inches of the end of their lives.

The new gangs are really bringing out a deadly streak in her for they are raping and beating and stealing more than she's ever seen. She's used to having a gang now and the power comes easily to her and she's just itching to tear down some of the imbeciles of the new gangs.

Other: Susi had one best friend since she was young and helped her through the time after her kidnapping and rape. She's called Eve for her sinful face and body but her real name is Giana and Susi's right hand woman. She loyalty runs deep and her skills in street fighting compliments Susi. Susi trusts her about all but also loves her too and won't always tell her of her plans if she thinks Giana will oppose her on it.

The small hall was noisy with the sounds of voices and things being moved around. A small group of gang members and those with loyalties tied to them was gathering. Their current reasons were unknown, but as soon as their leader would make her appearance they would soon have all of their answers.

“Excuse me,” a shrill voice called out over the crowed, and slowly everyone settled down. “They are all yours Lenore,” Jessa said as she handed the podium over to her leader.

A smirk passed over her features as Lenore looked out over those gathered before her. “Welcome my friends, and collogues. You all know why you are here. You are here for the same reason you are always here. A group like our own, a group that killed our beloved leader, is gathering forces, and is planning an attack. An attack on yours truly. An attack because I am a woman. An attack because I am a woman and your leader.

"This information was brought to my attention by one of our field agents, and just in time. According to the report we only have seven hours before zero hour. We have only seven hours to foil this attack! Seven hours to make sure that our family isn’t destroyed like they want it to be. It is now time my sisters and brothers, it is now time to show me your loyalty, and help me defeat this threat to our existence! Will you join me?”

A cry of a cheer shook the room, and Lenore beamed. “Or beloved leader would be proud of you,” she told them all. “Now go now! The hour of our destiny draws near!” Suddenly everyone flew into motion at once. Everyone trying to get to the exit before the one before them so they all could be ready for zero hour.

“Very moving,” Jessa said as she came up behind Lenore. “You really have a way of moving them into action.”

“I have a way of scaring them into action, you mean,” Lenore corrected. “Besides, they aren’t doing it for me. They are doing it for him,” she said as she turned to look at the paintin behind her. It was of an old and weathered man. A man whose face was crossed with lines of pain, but hits of power. The man that had been so like a father to Lenore for so long. “They couldn’t give a crap s**t about me, it is him they would die for.”

Jessa frowned, “You don’t give yourself enough credit. You have been our leader for three years, and no one has ever questioned or tested your rank. They respect you, and would gladly die for you. You just don’t give yourself enough credit.”

Lenore smiled as she looked at her friend. “I wish it was true. But come, we have much to do to get ready for our impending doom.”

"Susi Susi Susi!" One of the little girls in the orphanage ran and jumped into her arms. "Eve says he needs to tell you something."

Susi smiled. "Thank you Vanessa." Vanessa had been one of the little girls she'd saved from being raped in an alley one night. Her mom had left her that day and she'd been just wandering about until a man offered her candy and then tried to have his way with her. She'd been passing by when she heard a little girl's cry and ran towards it. Telling the little to run away just until she couldn't see them, Susi bloodied the guy and made sure he wasn't going to try to attack little girls for a while. Susi let Vanessa down giving her a chocolate then went to upstairs to where she and the gang held meetings.

Eve opened the door for Susi. "Thought you'd never get here."

Susi smiled and stepped into the room. "Didn't know you wanted me here."

Eve got a serious look in her eyes. "There's less than 7 hours until Zero hour. You know that that attack is going to happen and there's going to be a massive gang war?"

Susi stopped smiling and turned icy serious. "Of course. We have a plan tonight."

"And you don't haev any secret plans you haven't told me right?" Eve raised an eyebrow.

Susi looked at Eve and tilted her head. "No secret plans at all. Just the ones we made."

Lenore hummed to herself as she got ready in front of her full length mirror. She pulled her trench coat off of the coat rack and pulled it on shortly after she had pulled on her elbow length fingerless gloves. Then Turning to her hat rack she looked at her choices.

"Paper boy hat," she said as she pulled it off the shelf, put it on her head, and then tossed it to the side. "No good," she then turned back to the shelf and picked out another. This hat picking went on for quite some time before she finally settled on the perfect had for the evening. A black bowler with a small red feather coming out of the band. "This will do smashingly," she said as she tilted it to the side, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Suddenly the door flew open and Jessa came stumbling through. "Lenore," she said in a wheezy voice.

"Yes, what is it now?" Lenore asked as she turned to face her friend.

"I just came to tell you that your weapons are ready."

Lenore only gave a half hearted laugh. "Is that it?" she asked, and when her friend nodded she found herself laughing even more. "There was no reason to come running all the way up here just to tell me that. I believe I could have figured that out by myself."

Jessa looked at her leader, and then said, "You're not wearing the bowler again."

"What, why not?" Lenore asked.

Jessa only shook her head. "You will wear that thing out. Besides, you will make more of an impression on these murderers if you go hatless. Your hair speaks volumes by itself," she told her leader as she walked over, removed the bowler, and then set it back on the shelf. "Now come on, we don't have much time left."

"Since when did you become leader?" Lenore asked as she let herself be led out the door and down the stairs towards the black smith.

((that we do))

"You have your own chicken, how 'bout you eat your's instead of mine!" Shouted Blaine as he stood now with his makeshift plate of chicken they had bought where a store had yet to be busted into by some gang.

"You're chicken looks tastier though, Blaine." Timothee whined as he reached as high as he could which wasn't high enough for the plate.

"Now, now you two. Please don't fight. Timothee you can have some of my meal." Thane ended the argument with a compromise.

Vince looked at the three for he was away from the group. His thoughts scrambled about missing the meeting and the plan. He had no clue what was the plan and never thought he would do anything to help out with it. They were a gang only together for survival.

A squabble had returned to Blaine and Timothee while Thane tried to calm them down. It was unknown to the two youngest of the gang, but Thane understood that Vince was in one of his moods. He tended to be having bad mood swings lately.

Vince kicked a trash can lid at all three of them with great force. "This is the kind of stuff that sets us back from the rest of the groups. Your fighting. Doesn't matter that we missed the meeting for the plan because no one would want a snot-nosed brat, a dumb a**, and someone that was too nice for their own good." He didn't have to raise his voice for they all heard him. His bangs had swept to his eyes giving him the powerful appearance of being lethal.

Blaine called back, "No one wants someone that seems to have a stick up their a** all the time."

Vince glared at Blaine who quickly receded to the sanctuary found in the food. All did in fact.

Silence was heard until you could make out the sniffles and sobs of sweet hearted Timothee as he ate his chicken lightly. Thane quickly scooted closer to the young lad resting a hand on his shoulder. "Its alright..." He tried to soothe the small boy's silent cries.

Blaine stared at Vince with harsh eyes, but Vince was turned away leaning against the wall with his head lowered.

Timothee broke from Thane's grasp running to Vince and hugging his legs. Vince went rigged and rest a hand on the youngest's shoulder before forcing Timothee to be pushed away from him. Timothee wiped his tears away as Vince knelt down to be eye level with him.

"Don't cry for that shows you're weak. You are prey to the others if you show you cry. Don't cry...for me." Vince said this in his husky whispered voice. Timothee nodded immediately stopping his crying. Blaine and Thane both had been staring at the two, but said nothing returning to their meals as Timothee returned to the circle. The rest of the meal was silent.

Lenore took the tonfas that were handed to her, and then ran her finger across the blade to check the sharpness. As soon as the blade cut her skin she took her hand away and smiled.

"You have done well," she told him, and he bowed in acknowledgement. Then turning to Jessa, "Come, they will be ariving soon." The two women then left the black smith, and headed towards the great hall.

Sticks shifted uncomfortably and frowned. "There's no future in it," he said aloud, shaking his head at four street kids who were surrounding him. He had his sticks in his hands and waited for one to make a move. One kid reached into his pocket, as if to draw out a weapon, and Sticks became a blur of motion.

Thud! Thud! Thwop! Resounded through the alley four times as he bounced his sticks off the ribs twice and the head once of each of the kids. He was so fast that, by the time he was on the third kid, the first fell unconscious. On the fourth kid, the second fell.

Sticks watched the last two fall and said solemnly, "You guys really shouldn't jump people like me. There's no future in it."

Vince with his hands in his pockets started to walk away from the others in silent steps.

Like ghosts rising from the grave Thane and Blaine rose along with Timothee to follow their leader.

"Where are we going, Vince?" Chirped Timothee happily as he trotted beside Vince.

Vince lifted his head so his hair showed his eyes to stare at Timothee, but the stare seemed to be neutral as he continued along to the end of the alley and across the street.

Thane looked around to the small location they appeared to. A park with many shadows which were actually low-life creeps hanging around on their highs or trying to make a deal.

Blaine crossed his arms as he leaned against a tree. A small half of a blunt was given to him which he took a small inhale of it before passing it on.

Timothee sat in the wood chips by Vince who sat on the lip of the slide with his knees bent. His elbows pressed onto his knees with his fingers folded and his head bent.

'I wonder why we're here.' Thane thought still observing the small park. There wasn't much to be said about it. More than half the swings were broken while the play scape graffitied mercifully on. The slide that Vince was sitting on had a large dent in it as well.
PostPosted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 2:17 pm


Sticks strode away towards the park and noticed a group of 10 year olds to young teens taking turns smoking a blunt. He walked over to them and confiscated it. He shook his head solemnly and said, "There's no future in it."

Sticks looked around with a grin on his face. So many kids playing around the park. He loved little kids, but not in a ***** way. He has yet to refuse to aid a kid in need. Only a few had parents. Sad, but that's how he grew up too.

He saw a man around his age, maybe older, sitting on a half heartedly vandalized slide. He walked over to him and asked, "Is there something wrong? Can I help you in any way?"

Blaine growled, "Hey old man, how 'bout you find your own blunt to smoke?"

Vince looked to the man who asked if there was anything wrong. The only quizzical look he gave though was the slight raise of an eyebrow as he made eye contact.

"There isn't anything wrong except these guys following me..." His voice was husky as he spoke.

Thane watched the scene unfold as he shied away to a bench where he sat silently although the coolness of the bench could make him jump off surprised.

Timothee chimed in, "Who are you?" He spoke in a bold tone obviously not knowing his manners addressing the man that way. His childish features still shown and his voice in a high tone.
PostPosted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 7:27 pm


Sticks stared Vince in the eye. He said, "You look troubled. You seem a strange one, but it takes pretty basic psychology to see when someone is stressed or troubled. And do you need these people removed? Are they begging from you or something?"

Lenore stood once again in front of the gathered crowd. Their talking was loud, and filled the hall with noise. As she looked out over them they gradually went down in volume, and then they were all silent as they waited for her to speak.

"It has finally arrived," she told them, "It is now time to stand up and fight those that have kept us down. Those who have taken our leader from us, and almost destroyed any fragment of hope we had left.

"Tonight we don't fight as individuals, but as one. We will go out there, and crush any that stand in our way! We will not give in!" she screamed, and the crowd burst into war like yells and cries. Then the doors were opened and the fray flowed out of the underground room, and out into the streets.

Lenore and Jessa moved to the front of the group, as they stopped outside the hide away, and then the two of them lead the group out into the night. Where they were headed was on the outskirts of town. An older part of the city that had turned to rubble and ruin after the new government came to power and decided that a red light district was not what they wanted, so it was partially destroyed. It would have been completely if they had not gotten so much opposition from the people in the city. It wasn't that everyone liked whores or brothels, but it was historic, and that is what they minded. So the government left their job half done, and the abandoned and ruined part of the city became the battle ground for most of the gang violence that happened. It was far enough away that it took the police time to get there and break up battles, and it kept helpless civilians out of harms way. Also if you were sure to not get involved in a gun fight the possibility of the police vanished, and you could hold your war without the possibility of getting caught.

Along the way to their battle ground they passed the park, and the forlorn figures were just a speck in their peripheral vision, and no attention was paid to them. Of course they often got looks from passerby’s, but those looks were quickly countered with glares or brandishing of weapons.
