W e l c o m e t o E d e n . . .
In the city of Eden, things aren’t as they once were. Once upon Eden was just a commercial city, full of businesses and factories. But that was before the so called ‘nobles’ came in. The city was walled and exits were few, there were four in total. North, South, East and West. The East exit is the only one not monitored by the nobles or business owners. And East of Eden is a vast nothingness, a blanket of destruction as far as the eye can see. Once in a while someone will leave and find a new life, a new path to follow, but mostly people choose to stay. Because once you leave, you rarely make it back alive.
Eden’s government is so unstable it’s practically an anarchy. The city is divided up into districts, each lead by a certain faction. Elections are drawing near, and as always the polls are rigged. The last mayor is outbound while Eden half-heartedly welcomes their new mayor, a man with no name who constantly speaks of eliminating the ‘Hazard’ of the city. Only those involved in the innermost workings of the city know what he speaks of. Namely those involved in the factions that run each district. You can ask the Leaders, but be wary in approaching them. Their followers are quick to fire.
Hazard. The lone hero of Eden. A man or a faction? No one knows for sure. Once upon a time Hazard was a mere legend, the incarnate of the deity Dasch. But that would just be impossible. For no such savior can exist in Eden, right? But there can. The mayor knows this and he is currently doing everything in his power to eradicate the threat of a rebellion. One by one he has swept through the various districts, upsetting the peace and setting homes ablaze in search of Hazard. The seven districts of Eden are at a crossroads.
The rumor throughout the city is that somewhere in the underground workings of the city the fugitive Hazard resides or at least a few followers, though these rumors are unconfirmed. There are also whispers afoot referring to the rebellion of two years back and the death of Van, an affiliate of Hazard. Of course, Van and Hazard are but forgotten whispers of the city of Eden, but those deeply involved in the factions know better. Van is not dead, and neither is Hazard, the mayor seeks to destroy them as soon as possible, but a few faction leaders have better ideas.
Things are coming to a full scale war inside the walled city. In the struggle for Eden, who will take power? Will the mayor find Hazard? Or will Hazard rise again and deliver the city unto its former glory? Will the factions band together and take control of the city?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain. Change is coming quickly to the city of Eden.
(( this took a while lol sweatdrop hope it isn't too long that no one would join.))

P i c k a S i d e. . .
The Nobles ] are concerned with little else other than their businesses and money. They control the city with their wealth, pulling the puppet strings behind the giant stage. The Nobles tend not to stray from the Business District or the City Quarters, except when going out to Gaming District or perusing the fighting districts in search of people to do their dirty work.
The Red Lights District ] is well… Just that. The women here have formed a sisterhood with one another lead by Voodoo Mama, or Mother Hooker as she is fondly called. Alone these girls don’t pose much of a threat up against the Fighters or the Mariners, but they tend to move in packs which can easily overwhelm a handful of elite fighters. But lately sisters have been vanishing in the dead of the night without a trace. The sisterhood affiliates itself with the Fighters for protection and the Nobles for their money. Stray girls are often captured and taken off to the Gaming District to be entered into the slaughter tournaments.
The Mariner District ] is situated on the port side of Eden, to the north of all the commerce. The North exit is known more commonly as the ocean and these sea-faring people are often out and about in the harbor. They are also known as fighters, but they lack the brute strength of the Fighter District. They are planners and strategists as well as mercenaries for hire, but their prices are extraordinarily high. Only the wealthiest can utilize the Mariners. No one can enter the Mariner’s District without crossing the man-made rivers that serve as roads in the Mariner district. Each mariner owns either a boat or the more popular hover car or hover-board. All districts can use the hover-vehicles but boat licenses are exclusive only to the Mariner District.
The Holy District ] hardly strays from its boundaries, staying near the cathedral at all times. These people worship the deity Dasch and his Lady Miere and pray for salvation to come again, rumor has it that they are allied with Hazard but they claim to be neutral ground. The cathedral is currently under high supervision and the outskirts of the territory are being searched for hopes of finding Hazard, several holy men have been killed already. The orphanage is also here and the various holy people look after the children and large high school. They have no predisposition for any factions or districts.
The Gaming District ] is sort of like the Las Vegas of Eden. People from every corner of the city gather here to enjoy the gambling and the occasional slave auction. These are one of the few people thriving under the law of the mayor. The Gaming District is devoted to entertainment and any form of media can be found there, as well as the famed Coliseum. In the Coliseum ever Saturday they hold the tournaments where people of all calibers are entered and proceed through rounds of fighting against animals which go until one of the participants is felled, either the beats of the human. In the end the human faces off against the champion from the week before and the new champion gladiator is determined. These champions often last only a few weeks before they are replaced, or killed. Some get off lucky and are released back into the city to work their way into some decent profession.
The Fighter District ] is just that. Mercenaries for hire gather here as well as instructors of the martial arts. They are utilized as part of the Noble’s army and act as Eden’s main police force. Fighter’s are virtually becoming enslaved to the nobles to find Hazard and many have died in the process. They travel anywhere but the Mariner’s district due to a long existing rivalry between the two main factions. Their prices are much cheaper than the Mariner’s.

Deep music of foot steps could be heard though the holy district. The whole district had been on close watch as of lately. The morning light spilled on to the holy district like a liquid with no container. The whole district seemed to brighten up the sky as well. The sunlight peered though the stained glass windows, pushing colorful mosaics on to the floor.
Apollo sat in the cathedral trying to clear his mind form the horrors of his regular life. He sipped in air like it was hot tea from a cup. He exhaled hopping what pain he felt would leave in that breath. He closed his eyes remembering what job he had to do today. He shook his head imaging a whole family lying face down on the floor and the spirits would not let any one removed the bodies until they were sent to the final beyond. Apollo did not notice his feelings getting the better of him now. Tears started to build up in his eyes and gently piped on the floor before him. He felt the pain from the two children who didn’t want to die, but they didn’t have any control over their lives. Apollo took another breath deep. The light touched him and slightly warmed. He opened his eyes gently folding his hand over his lap. Apollo had stayed over night at the cathedral. He stood up and decided to head somewhere else.
Out though the doors Apollo decided he wanted to go straight home, but stopped by at the orphanage to offer a bit of his time. The younger children all looked so full of joy unaware of the horrible things that would go on in the city. The careless little looks they gave and the warm smiles that they showed every one. It was a sight enough to make some people happy. Ones who could let go of the true reality of the world. Apollo fakes a small smile and sighed. One of the youngest children who could speak walked up to him not knowing who he was. The child looked up to him. “Mis’er are you a stranger? If you are headmistresses said I shouldn’t talk to strangers.” He spoke holding a teddy bear probably half his size close to him.
Apollo laughed and looked to the child. He crouched down so he was at eye level with the young boy. “Well I am too you right now but I’m not going to hurt you at all.” He spoke rubbing the young boy’s chestnut hair messing it all up. For one of the few times, after his sister’s death, Apollo was happy and smiled like he meant it. The boy was called by some of the other children and ran off to go play. Apollo watched the children run around playing the games that were of great importance in a youngster’s life. After the meeting with the young boy he decided to head home and get some rest before his first appointment that day.
Apollo opened the oak wood door to his small simple house. He closed the door and locked it behind him. He headed straight to the kitchen and fixed himself a small cup of coffee. A he was grinding the beans he noticed a bit of smoke in the sky out the window. He sighed heavily letting it pass another day had began in the holy district no different from the lat day or the day before that. The same life Apollo had lived for over twenty-one years. He had the coffee maker set and flipped the switch on the side. The little light gleamed it’s bright red as is greeted Apollo with a small little beep. He went to the living room and plopped on a couch feeling very tired from staying awake the night before. He closed his green eyes and took the same breath he had taken in the cathedral a long deep breath. Only this time there was not much pain that he held in him this time. "Good morning Diana." he spoke

A while had passed and the jet black haired boy sat up to stretch out his arms. Apollo yawned while opening his sleepy emerald eyes. He stood up and headed to the kitchen to get himself a cup of coffee to truly wake up. He poured the coffee in a mug with a the word brother on it and a picture of a teddy bear. Apollo opened his fridge and poured some cream to add to his coffee. And took a sip and cringed a little. “A little too strong yet.” He spoke pouring in some more cream and stirred it. Apollo added two spoons full of sugar and stirred it some more. A little tink tink was made whenever the spoon hit the inside of the mug. Apollo took another sip. “Ah… there we go.” He looked up at the clock he had fifteen minutes till his next appointment that was just a few blocks down the street. He looked at his coffee taking a few more sips and shrugging. “I’ll be late if I don’t hurry up.” Apollo put on a coat and headed out the door.
As Apollo walked down the street he kept feeling uncomfortable, the feeling of being watched. But the one thing that bothered him all the more was that he knew he was being watched. He walked a little faster just so he could get his job over with and be inside his home and have some peace all to himself. “The address is 1285… “ He spoke looking both left and right for the house address. “Here.” He spoke lightly and knocked at the door. It opened slowly by a young woman a few years older that Apollo. She looked at him.
“Are you Edward?” She spoke
Apollo nodded. “Yes. Now you told me over the phone that you cat had been acting strange lately?” He looked at her noticing he had a few claw marks on her arms and legs. “ So what has been different about your cat?” he asked the woman.
“She hasn’t been eating and she has turned hostile. She used to be so kind and loveable, now she is like a stray. Come in she is in the upstairs room to the left.” The young woman spoke. She quivered lightly while speaking about her dear pet. She opened the door and let him in and closed it after Apollo in. The woman led Apollo to the room where she kept the cat for the time being. “I suppose you can take care of it yourself.”
Apollo nodded again “ It’s should only take about half an hour.” He spoke lightly walking into the room feeling a chilly presence in the room. The door closed slowly behind him. Apollo could feel the cat was being over shadowed by something other than just a change in mood. He placed a few talisman around where the cat was and began a chant. “Om Sanmaji Handomei Kiriku!” Was spoken a transparent flowing figure rose from the cat’s body and a howling scream came from the shapeless figure. Apollo could feel the anger from the being. It weighed heavily in the room. One of the talisman reacted to the figure in casing it in a little ball like cage and Apollo continued to chant. “Om Kirikyaraharahara Futaranbasosohaka.” The ball simply disappeared, after those words. Apollo sighed and looked to the cat cleaning itself calmly. He smiled and picked up the cat petting it lightly. Apollo went out of the door to find the woman and told her a recap of what went on. Latter they had found out that it seemed to be a peace of the neighbor’s grudges against the cat for it constantly being on their property. Apollo left the woman and her cat and headed back home. Even though some cases were not all that important they where a break from suicide and murder cases he was used to take up.
Walking down the street he stopped noticing a cherry tree in full bloom completely out of season. He held his hand out catching a petal in his hands and looking up at the tree. It looked very old and big. Apollo smiled to see the flowers but it was so odd for it to bloom at this season. The petals fell to the ground like snowflakes in the mountains. Apollo gave a lightly sigh in a relaxed way and headed down the street to his home.

I must've Dreamed a thousand Dreams...
Tazon awoke, just in time. He turned on the TV and was watching the news. More bounties, Bigger bounties, all for someone named Hazard. He laughed, They weren't going to catch him. In other news, a hopeless orphan girl set off a car bomb in the Gamers District. He sighed. Someone tried to fake his bounty, greed took them over, he was scheduled for exile into the east for later that day. Taz pulled out his rifle and walked out to the sunny entrance to the east port of the sewers.
Been haunted by a million screams.
((more to come, but i'm thinking where to go at the moment.))

Apollo knew there was too much time until night dawned. He decided to return to a place that needs him more than his own home. Apollo set off onto the streets again to find some way he could help in anyway. He rather does so instead of wasting life away with himself all alone. He passed the orphanage. Apollo stopped right away. He thought of actually taking a full time job, but his job now was so unpredictable he could never say if he would show up one day or the next. He sighed and walked in setting aside his time to maybe be of any help he could be. The young boy he saw before walked up to him again. "Hey mis'er you came back." The boy spoke as Apollo nodded to him. The boy smiled and looked closely at Apollo. "Mis'er are you okay? you look a bi' unwell sir." He said innocently
Apollo shook his head " I'm okay. Don't worry about me. " He spoke lightly " You can play with your friends. " Apollo said wondering if the boy would stay or not.
The boy began to speak again. " No' many people re'urn you know most of dem..." Apollo nodded as the boy continues to talk. Even though he was donating his time he didn't really pay attention to what much the boy was saying. At the end the boy looked to him and smiled "You can be my friend mis'er. Do you wan' 'o be my friend?" the little boy asked.
Apollo though for a moment. He would feel horrible if he never had time to come back to the orphanage if he agreed to be the boy's friend but it would be hurtful if he didn't take up the young boy's offer. Apollo smiled and nodded "Yes, I will be your friend. My name is Edward what is yours?"
The boy grew a thoughtful look on his face and spoke the name. "dey call me Erik, I 'hink da' is my name... I’m not sure if da' is my real name but it is what I respond 'o." He smiled and handed Edward his teddy bear "could you wa'ch choco fur me? I'm going to go play with Mary" The boy waved off to play with one of his everyday friends.
((Note: My post will become shorter.))

But I can hear the marching feet,Taz put his Bo staff where he usually kept it at night, when he wasn't using it: next to where he kept his bike. He loved racing around, and his favorite thing to do was to kick people's asses in a race. He loved his life at the moment, because while the bounty was out on him, no one knew what he looked like. For all they knew, he as one of the nobles himself! They're Moving, into the streetHe climbed on the bike, and rolled out of the sewers, into the east entrance of the town. The brigade was near him, he could hear the jeeps and tank rolling off in the distance, getting steadily louder. He turned in the other direction and down an alley. He hid his bike under a garbage dumpster, and piled old boxes on it. He climbed up the fire escape and laid down on the roof. He zeroed in on the jeeps and on the tank, surprisingly, there weren't many people. He smiled: Too easy. Six shots, Seven kills. He loaded a fresh case of rounds in, and dipped the rounds in sewage. Naturally poisoned, the shots would hit where they wouldn't be noticed until it was too late. He fired five shots, and cleaned out the Jeeps before the tank knew what to do. He reloaded, and fired one more Armor Piercing Round. The Tank exploded and went up in flames. A piece of Shrapnel flew over and cut the bindings on the convict. Tazon packed up the gun adn descended the escape. Now did you read the news today?Rolling out his Motorcycle, Taz smiled. The "police" were already down the street. He backed up and sped out the other way to an old parking ramp. He ascended to the top and jumped off of a ramp onto the roof he was on before. He watched below, and then headed off toward the center of town. they say the danger's gone away...On his way, he passed a few orphanages, and he decided on what to do next. He rode along, and found himself on a large skyscraper. Before he could do anything, he was over the side, and headed for a short building. He leaned back, and flipped, looking at all of the vehicles below. But I can see the fire, still alightBelow, before landing, he saw a few people climbing out of vehicles wearing turbans, and wielding AK's. He also saw the jeeps rounding the corner. With his speed, Taz pulled the rifle out, loaded an AP round, reached out, and fired one shot, destroying the first of two jeeps, without using the scope, and continued to flip and land on the building. Burning into the night.(( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KW8DRSvEoQ hey! it's Eden and Hazard all around the world!!! lol.))

Luna walked around attending to the younger children. One of them had scratched their knee while the other had bumped their head. The two children had been playing out side and gotten scared away by someone falling in the process. She smiled as she finished banaging them up and kissed both of them on the head as they scampered off.
Luna smiled slightly and then saw a familiar face. "Apollo is that you?" She got a brighter smile as she realized that it was him. Luna slowly started making her way over to where he was without knocking down one of the orphans in the process.

"Oh sorry Edward," She said his name mostly just seeing how it sounded,"Yea I'm still here I haven't really found anywhere else to go and the head mistriss said that if I help watch the children I can stay here." Luna smiled as Erik ran off. "I don't mind having to help with watching them though because they just tend to brighten things up. With everything being so gloomy and dark it's nice to have a little light every now and then."

"yes that is true. " Apollo sat up a little "well i do have an extra room at my place if you ever need a rest from this or anything like that. " he suggested "Unless you would rather stay here. " Apollo said knowing he would like to spend a lot of time with the children as much as he could, the only reason he didn't work there was because the fact he already had another job which took most of his time. "It's nice here it almost breaks the reality of what is really happening out there. The fact the we are all being watched closely." he was talking softer now than before. "Making sure no one is rebellious against the nobles." he shook his head and stopped speaking about that. " So how has it been lately for you?" Apollo asked.

"No thank you Edward I wouldn't want to be a bother." She smiled slightly then began answering his other question,"It's been okay, but lately there have been some issues. They keep accusing us of trying to rebel against the nobles. They act as if we're teaching the children things that we shouldn't be, so that they'll rise up against the nobles. Some of the children have been going missing as well," She whispered. "No ones figured out yet the head mistresses keep make excuses, buy I think it was the nobles."

"Well the offer is still there if you ever want it. I really have noting to do when I'm home so actually i would be bale to keep busy if i did have a guest." Apollo sighed. " really they are taking it too far. " He spoke a little upset. " As if the people they suspect and kill right away was and better. " Apollo spoke being on to many of the scenes of such events took place, this was where most of Apollo's rent came from. "Soon I'll be on their list with the job i have. I travel to much around this district probably thinking I'm getting people to join by going to different places daily. " He looked down. "I do wish it would all stop one day."
