Just so ya'll know, yes this will have drugs and violence of the sort, but not to the extreme. There will be drugs and violence here and there. The whole story does not have it, it's just the life of the people doing that stuff...if that makes ANY sense. And anyways, if need be we can always just hint to what happens if it gets too far.
Yeah yeah, what a jerk to start another rp. The heck. I want to. So there. Haha. I was thinking of it today during geometry...since that class is so easy and boring. And I really want to try it out. I mean there is no real deep plot, something dramatic, simple, and interesting. Yes. It will be a slow moving rp, but we need some action around here. And I'll try to get it happening. Once I get, at the least, two people to join, we can start and people can join in whenever they want. See. How simple! Haha. And I enjoyed writing the short summary story thingy. No idea. I like repeating a lot of stuff. Almost poetic. *snorts* ____________________________________________________________ The sun is sinking in the sky, casting bright pinks, oranges, and purples into the clouds. The shadows are long and growing thicker with each second. Smell of dinner wafts in the cool autumn air mixing with the scents of dieing leaves and browning grass. Everything seems perfect amongst the city.
I hate that smell and those nauseating colors. I hate the families that eat dinner around a small table, talking about their days at work and school. I hate the laughter that echoes in the still air of my neighborhood. I hate it all, every one of them. Why can’t I have that? I want it, I hate it, I love it, and I despise it.
I’m not perfect like them. I am far from perfection like them. I am the darkness of their light. I’m the one in the ally ways smoking pot and gambling. I am the one that you hate. I was the bully in your grade school. I stole your lunch money. You all hate me. I love me. I love every aspect of me. I love the thrill I get when running from the cops. I love the appreciation I get from my groupies. That almost perfect high of relaxation, adrenaline, and love you get when hanging around the punks you call your friends, I love that. Most of all I love being me.
Call me a criminal, call me a gangster, call me a thief, call me a loser, call me a b***h, it all applies, and I like it.
This is my city. I control it. I control the safety of your perfect family. I control the streets you drive and walk on. I control you. In a split second I can have you dead. I can cause your debts to grow and grow. I can beat you, threaten you, and scare the s**t out of you. This is my city.
Watch your back sugar. Look everywhere when the shadows expand. Don’t run away, we are dogs, we smell your fear and chase you. Don’t be afraid, sweetie, join us. Don’t join us, let us control you. We are your god here, we are your devil here, and we are you saviors. You choose which.
I hate it. I love it. I like it. I control it.
I’m a god.

Setting  Chicago, Illinois, present time. Every aspect of the city is where the story takes place. However most of where the gangs are in the slums area. Some of the gang members are also in the more upstate areas. Yay for crappy discriptions. Gangs The StingOne of the largest gangs in the Chicago area. Controlled by Amma and Darius (otherwise known as 'King'). The gang is notorious for it's drug relations and foreign exports. They sell drugs for high prices to those not willing to give it up. (Many of the costumers are rich men and even political figures.) Also, Sting is responsible for much of the underground workings of gambling shops, whore houses, and liqour stores. Members display their loyalty by getting tattooed a picture of a scorpian and skull on their left shoulder blades. They also always wear an indication of the left side. An earing, rolled up sleeve, or even a simple ring on their left hand. Colors- Red and White Symbols- Scorpian and Skull The Blood (Leader up for grabs)This gang is in the same types of buisness at Sting, however they have not as much of a control over the financial and buisness part of Chicago. However, they lean much more towards violence than Sting, in return have a bigger reputation to look out for. Unlike Sting, Blood Sugar gives no second chances. Either you do it, or you die. Literally. Members display their loyalty by geting a huge tribal tattoo in the design of an upside down heart all down their back. They also wear stuff instead of to the left, to the right of their body's opposite of the sting. Colors- Black and Green Symbols- Upside down heart and Flames Profiles and stuff will go here. What ev. Name: Age: Gang: Occupation: Personality: Appearance: History: Name: Amma (Pronounced Awma) Ashworth
Age: 21
Gang: The Sting
Occupation: Boss
Personality: Amma’s name means godlike and that is just what she is. She holds her head high all the time and is a control freak. She knows her high status and flaunts it. No, she doesn’t let it get to her head. She holds her spot well; she leads people with an authoritative air, and never makes mistakes, if possible. The situations she gets in are dealt with logically, but also in her favor. She knows every crook and nanny of the city and knows just about everyone there is to know.
Although at first she is a b***h, she has a soft side that leaks out…a lot. She is often generous to those who are lower than her. However, she doesn’t give more than second chances. Sure she enjoys pain of others, but if she feels your situation she’ll tend to be lenient and softer towards you. Don’t try to take advantage of this though, if you do, she knows, and will defiantly get back at you.
And that’s all to tell for now. Her character will develop more as the story goes on.
Appearance: Amma is an African American. Her skin is of a pure chocolate color. Unlike many expect her to look like; she is indeed pretty, which her reputation gives no hints to. People expect her to be one of those buff macho women, but in fact, she is the opposite. She has a full figure, not slender but full, and a curved body. She stands at an average 5’6”.
Amma’s eyes are strangely, bright green in her left eye, and electric blue in her right…naturally, contrasting against her dark skin. They tend to always appear cold and icy, giving everyone that looks into them an instant chill or lonely feeling. Her hair is thick and curly, cut short to her shoulders and layered in short layers. She dyed her bangs white and red, as well as a few highlights here and there.
The outfits Amma wears are all comfortable looking, almost like a guys, expect for the fitting tank tops. She always wears white or red tank tops, baggy jeans, baggy shorts, or cheerleader shorts. She also has 7 piercing in her left ear, none on her right. As for the makeup she wears, it generally just consists of a simple eyeliner and mascara. Otherwise, she goes straight simple. It’s better to be simple instead of being constricted.
She never goes anywhere without her gun and knife.
History: Amma grew up with the typical bad family. Hence why she is where she is now. Her father was always drunk, her mom didn’t care, and her older brother ran away. Yay! That’s all she will say.Name: Yahto... but everyone just calls him Cherokee (will explain that later). He doesn't give his last name.
Age: 19
Gang: That other one... but can we rename it? I wanna renames it!
Occupation: He's definitely used for Intimidation. That's not really his style, but he goes with it. All he has to do is stand there. Also, he's pretty good at jacking cars, had to live in one for awhile, so he figured out its in's and out's.
Personality: Cherokee is pretty much the 'strong and silent' type. He doesn't have a lot to say, or really, doesn't say anything unless it's worth saying, and to him? There isn't a lot worth saying. He's also pretty serious, a steady sort of guy, a good cool head on his shoulders. Nothing can get under this guy's skin. He's like a rock; it's sort of inhuman. He doesn't smile, doesn't frown, he doesn't even glare or look angry. His face is set almost into this constant passive expression. He comuincates a lot with just giving people certain looks, and they either get it or they don't, not his problem if they don't get it.
Though, he does have words to spare with those he can call 'friends', not that he collects those sort of people to himself. He doesn't like to feel too much attachment in the sort of life he leads, and who would? Also, as steady as a rock as this guy seems, there are certain ways you can sense his soft points. He's a smoker, which means he can get stressed when put under pressure... and he likes kids. It's strange, but if kids get invovled with a job he has to do, he flips. Gets real angry and refuses to do it. This proves he has passion. Then there is the small golden cross he wears around his neck on a thin chain. This shows he has faith.
Appearance: Well, to first explain why everyone calls him Cherokee, if you didn't guess already, it's because he's half Native American. And you know... Cherokee is like the first thing you think of when you think of Indians... it's a big ol' tribe and blah blah... so it's kinda a mocking thing, but Cherokee turned it into something more out of respect in time. They used to call him Chief too, and Sitting Bull!
But anyway... he's half Native American... and in accordance with this he has the dark, reddish brown skin, high cheek bones, and a sharp hawk like nose. He's a pretty good looking guy, real handsome face! Though, he's only half, mind, so he has some odd features to him... such as his very light blue eyes. That's what his real name means... Yahto means Blue. And he also has very fine brown hair (not black and coarse as it should be) that he keeps short, but long enough to flop into his eyes and cover his ears. Despite not keeping his hair long, however, he retains his culture in certain ways. He has a few tattoos, some wolves around his shoulders (he mixed the gang tattoo he has with that... because he's Cherokee and he can do whatever the heck he wants! YEAH!), and a few of the indian symbols on his right arm... such as the one for sun and bear.
Moving along! He wears what fits him, which isn't much. He's tall. I mean REALLY tall. He's 6' 7'', like a freaking statue. He's also lean, like a runner, and has very large hands and feet. Just one of his hands is probably bigger than your head. So, pretty much... he just wears clothes. They are no big deal to him. Probably his most important aspect of his attire are his moccasins. When a tall guy like him needs to be quiet and hide, he's quiet. ... cos ya know... moccasins muffle your footsteps! He's also got a soft buffalo leather jacket.
History: Don't ask about his and he won't ask you yours. All you need to know is he is where he is now.Name: Lorenzo Fiacci (He goes by Enzo)
Age: 20
Gang: Hahaha I suck. I can't thik of a name. I SUCK SO MUCH. So, until I think of one... I shall... BE VAGUE! XD
Occupation: He's the brains... The planner... The one who runs everything behind the scenes.
Personality: Let's see... He's actually a pretty sarcastic guy... And he thinks he's funny... Which, he is, haha if you have a morbid sense of humor. He's pretty imaginative, and while he's not the leader, he often has issues with stepping outside his boundaries of command. Either way, he's got a pretty big personality, likes a good joke, and actually is friends with most of the gang (in a 'I'm still better than you' sort of way...)
Though, he can get really grouchy when he's stressed, and hasn't been able to get a fix (haw haw he's an addict. I'll figure out what drug he's hooked on later.). So, watch his temper, ya?
Appearance: Enzo isn't what anyone would call tall. In fact, he barely hits average height. All of 5'6'', and that's the tallest he'll ever be. He's fairly tan, and has dark, almost black hair. It's pretty long, and he's usually got it slicked back with something, but it tends to want to do its own thing and fall into his face a bit. His eyes, which are arguably darker than his hair, make him look quite threatening; cunning, as it were. There's inteligence behind those dark eyes. And half the time, he seems to have dark around his eyes; not from fights, but from lack of sleep, or withdrawl. Though, he hides that pretty well.
When it comes to what he wears, pretty much anything goes. He's usually comfortable in jeans and some sort of button-down shirt, under which he usually wears a tank top (beater?). Something like that. He usually wears some sort of black sneakers too. Umm, a fine silver chain is usually around his neck... It lacks any charm, and he's always got a watch on. Always. (No idea why, but that's what he told me. O.o)
History: Obviously, he's of Italian origin. He doesn't speak much about his past though. He's too busy working out where you're from. He's real calculating like that. Likes to know who's who and everything in between.
