Once the city of Airgid was a vast and powerful city. Then all changed with the earthquake. Streets were split while some buildings collapsed and others were seized by fires. Just when all thought no worse could happen, the water from the bay rose, and a tsunami wrecked much of what hadn’t been damaged. At the end of the day, the city was a shadow of its former self. Most of the wealthy moved away, building a district on top of a hill close to the rest of the city and leaving the poor to survive among the ruins.
With little aid, many of the less wealthy died among the ruins. Even as a feeble attempt at reconstruction began, life was harsh, Their pay was much too low and the prices were far too high. Jobs themselves were scarce, and thievery and anarchy futher threatened the lives of the poor. Finding no way to advance, many of these people found life desolate....
And thus they formed the gangs. Not gangs in the traditional sense, but well organized groups who would fight for and support each other in the harsh conditions of the city.
Rune Curse was the first, taking the old wealthy district for their own as well as the land along the bay.
Pirates from across the water who called themselves Water Siege soon claimed the lands along the bay, stealing them from Rune Curse and leading to a bitter rivalry.
In the university and the factories, poor college students and scientists out of work banded together to form Fire Raid.
From the business district and the sewers and underground tunnels came Shade Plague.
And the poorest residents, surrounded by rampant crime and casinos, followed in the tradition, calling themselves Hell Bane for their harsh lifestyle.
These gangs were opposed, often fighting bitterly with tangled series of alliances and rivalries. Many, many years later, these gangs still exist. Still struggling. Still warring. Still living.
Will you join this harsh life and fight for not just your own survival, but for your Gang as well?
Silverveined is a relatively new site with active members and staff and an intermediate to advanced roleplay level. It was based loosely based off of a warriors roleplay, but has now become a completely independent site with a unique plot! You can play someone from the gangs, the wealthy district, the police force, or just a normal citizen.
So will you risk the fight, and enter our struggle?
