Introduction
Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners
What do you get when you mix a newly built city, with a tough economy, a group of orphan teens, some fate, and a daring new ideal?
A
Where do I even begin? I should probably start with the current date. It's June 25th, 2018. As you probably already know, not much has changed from 2011 to 2018. The tough American economy, the lack of presidential action, the technological plateau... it's basically the exact same world, minus a few new metropolises.
You probably want to know where we are now, don't you? To answer that question, we're in New Hendrison.. and I do mean new. The city was built only six years ago, free of most crime, clean, organized.. it's an all around nice place to live. It's located in south east Maryland next to the ocean, it's pretty nice. It has a beautiful sunset, and weather is generally calm and sunny. To be even more specific, we're on Thirteenth Street, which is in the suburbs just outside of the megatropolis. Oh yeah, did I mention New Hendrison is huge? But on to more important matters.
There are some people in New Hendrison who haven't quite had it all too well. In fact, they haven't had anything go too well. They're all orphans, they've all gotten issues, and some are even already getting in to trouble. Sounds pretty bad, doesn't it? Well, to make things a bit worse, they live on the streets all alone. Minimal friends, no family[or, in some cases, run-aways], and almost no money. They don't even own houses. Some have a steady income, but waste it away on drugs and alcohol. But here, let me explain who these people are, so you can judge how bad they have it for yourselves.
The two druggies: These kids been an orphans all thier lives. Their parents died in a car accident shortly after being born, and were placed into foster care. The foster parents were murdered, so the kids ran away. If you haven't caught on by this point, they're both brother and sister. How they survived for nearly ten years on their own is nothing short of a miracle, but they've only managed to support their very bad drug habit for the past five, and are running out of money.
The two felons: These two people don't care for the law. They've been screwed over too many times to give a damn about what "uncle Sam" has to say about them, their beliefs, or their actions. They've already been thrown in jail once for a crime they've committed together and served a two year term, but they're back on the streets. And guess who's big idea it was to start a gang? Bingo, the two felons. No past relationship outside of criminal partnership for these two as far as family or friendship.
The two 'entrepeneurs': Whether these two are criminals, or legit, doesn't matter. They either sling dope and other drugs, or try to pump money out of legit businesses. Either way, they've been drawn into the gang just like all the others, and whether or not this is for the better or the worst, is to be found out. No past relationship between these two as far as family.
The two prodigy's: These two kids are practically geniuses, or miracle workers, take your pick. Whatever they do or study, they're really good at it. How they even got in this mess is unknown, and how they were dumb enough to get sucked into a gang is beyond my knowledge. Maybe they want to steer them all in a better direction? Maybe they want to use their skills for the worse? You decide. They aren't related, and don't know each-other yet.
The two romancers: I don't know if they really want romance, or if they just want sex, but these two show potential for both. Whatever happened to them is unknown, they've locked that secret away from the world and managed to get drawn into the gang. Maybe they will find love, or maybe they will just forget about it alltogether. They don't know each-other yet.
NOTE: I WOULD PREFER THE TWO ROMANCERS TO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH EACHOTHER, RATHER SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER CLASS.

The park came into view up ahead and the teenager was glad to see that it was for the most part deserted, at least from the people that he wasn't eager to look into the faces of again. He rested now on a bench, pulling Holly down next to him and setting their drinks on the pavement. "These drugs man. Fuck, I'm surprised I'm not completely fried out of my mind." He curiously wondered how he had manages to get his beaten brain intact but figured that it had something to do with his stupendous I.Q. before getting into all of these things going on around him.

"This is great. Just sitting here, no worries. Nothing to hold is back." His violet orbs grazed the area and they stopped on an occupied bench. A brow raised, questionally. They all seemed around their age and he couldn't help but wonder what kind of conversations they were having compared to his own across the park.

He watched Holly get hit by a car as she sprinted for the alley. She was probably seeing sonething that ge wasn't, no doubt. Why else would she have bounded away from her protective sibling? He cursed at the man who had hit her with his car. He went to the widow, rapping on it with a couple of knuckles, responded by him screaming and rolling down his window.
"What the fuck do you want kid?" He asked, his voice was harsh and aggitated but it just rolled off of Ian's shoulders. He snatched the guys collar, pulling him a bit out of the car. Ian removed his eyewear, showing his crazed eyes and the guy nearly pissed himself. "I would watch where the fuck your going, man." His words were even more venom filled then this older man's had been. Ian gave him a good shove back into the car and the man repeatedly apologized, just hoping for his life that this guy wouldn't take his life. "I'll give you my wallet, just please, don't hurt me." The guy gave a pathetic whimper as he searched his car frantically for his billfold. "Here." He slapped it into Ian's hand and the boy smirked. "Thanks, man." He saluted him then went off towards Holly. She was shivering hardcore next to a trash can and Ian shook his head, tsk tsking. He shrugged out of his trench coat and wrapped it around her arms to calm her down some. "There you go." He smiled and took a seat next to her. "I gave that guy a pretty hard time for pummeling you." He snickered and wrapped his arm around her so he could kiss the top of her head. "He seemed pretty upset about. Bad enough to where he gave me this." He chuckled, throwing her the wallet which he had yet to check for anything of value.

Sitting back up she smiled at her older sibling,"Man why... d-does it have to b-be c-cold." Laughing a little bit,"S-sorry for running of like that.. I had this buzzing sound in my ears and a sound of a c-c-car shrieking." She really didn't like cars that much they were the cause of their parents death. You wouldn't even see her in a car even if you dared her to. Pushing the word car out of her mind she sighed looking at Ian with her light blu eys.
Grabbing on to her leg that the light purple car had hit a while ago,"My leg.. it hurts a little." She tucked some of her hair behind her ears. Showing her ear percings she had gotten a week ago. "Well.. lets get out of this cold alley.." She struggled getting up but she managed to. Limping out the alley she stopped and motioned for her brother to come on,"Let's go.." Starting to limp again intil she disappeared around the corner.

"I should have ripped his head off." He muttered when he was next to Holly. "He hurt you.." He whispered, looking into her blue eyes. He picked up her chin, a feeling of dread sweeping over him. "Can you walk, love?" He asked, releasing her and letting his eyes graze over her leg. "It doesn't feel....b..broken, does it?"

It's not a good feature at all :L
Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners
& btw, I accepted MafiaMan's character even though he's 34, above the teenager setting, because it just makes sense to have someone who could have possibly had strong gang experience in the group(As far as in-character goes). And the other romancer spot is open.
