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 nice altruistic social clubstreetgang.

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.


As you can see, all pieces of the puzzle are here for some crazy things to happen. The group could fall endlessly deep into the criminal underground, or rise to the top in the capitalist business empire that is America. Anything could happen, and everything will be unprecedented. The rest is in your hands, live this life, or let this life live you.

Toggle Rules

>>>I don't care about how massive you can make your posts, I don't care if you can fit an entire novel into one post, I don't care if you can only muster up one or two lines. No, I don't care. But nothing irritates me more than completely ignoring punctuation, continually making spelling and grammar errors, or run on sentences. Keep that in mind when posting here.

>>>Please don't use anime pictures.

>>>Be realistic!! This is a gang roleplay, yes, but for gods sake make sensible posts. You're not going to get shot in every post, you're not going to be murdering someone every post, you aren't blowing up police stations and hijacking random cars for no reason. And bear in mind, if you're shot, you probably will need medical care, you can't just throw on a bandaid and be fine.

>>>Romance is 100% A-okay, but take things realistically. Whether your character wants sex or love, take a reasonable pace. Don't have your characters just magically fall in love at first sight within like ten posts. This irritates me too, it's not realistic at all.

>>>To show you read and accept the rules completely, remove the "Favorite pet" section from the character skelly.

>>>Have fun, and follow the rules!!
oh, and don't be afraid to ask questions if you have them!

Holly looked at her brother still frowning,"You know I am going to steal something later." She snatched his Redbull drinking some of it,"Here.." She would hand him the monster,"Yeah.. Like I couldn't live without you or my marijauna." Putting her hand inside her jacket pocket grabbing the bag,"My oh my! I would just smoke this shit all day every day." Sighing really loud in her brothers ear. "But, I love you more than this little bag of weed Ian." She hugged her big brother like it was the last time she'll ever see him again. Sighing again, she broke the hug and started to walk again. As she started to walk, she wondered how their life would turn out and she thought it would turn out great. She couldn't live without him either. Forgetting all about the ciggarette that Ian bad put behind her ear.

Ian accepted the loving hug, pulling his sister into his arms. "I don't know what I would do without either of those things as well. Mary Jay just keeps me going, bro." He curiously wondered if there was still any action going down at the park. "Maybe there are some interesting people to watch back where we were." He offered, slipping her energy drink from her grasp and pulling it to his lips. Another long puff from his cancer stick and he cane to realization that she wasn't smoking. "What, you don't want yours?" He asked, nudging her with his shoulder the holding out his lighter for her.

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.

Holly totally had forgotten her ciggarette,"Oops. I forgotten had this." She took it out from her ear putting the tip of it in the flame of the lighter. Inhaling it with such force flicking it. Humming a song that she had heard when she was 16. It was her favorite song and would sing it every time she had gotten high. She stopped humming when they were walking towards a park. She felt herself being pulled down by her brother,"I know right, man. I love these hands..." Lifting up her shaking hands, one holding the ciggarette she smoked a while ago. "... They were ment to make drugs and that's why I love them." She was acting like she was totally baked but, she wasn't she was faking it. Sighing she would lay her head on Ian's shoulder.

"I love them too." Ian commented, slipping his hand into hers and patting it with his other hand. He let his neck roll around and lazily lean on her head as well. At first glance, they may look like a couple, but there was no sexual tension between the two so it radiated family. He smiled and brought the ciggarette to his lips. "My cancer." He grinned, showing off his straight teeth, surprisingly. He lifted his head to flip his hair to the side and brush it and comb over with his fingers. "I hate my obsession with keeping my hair perfect, but I just can't not do it." He scoffed at himself. "I mean, why not flaunt perfection?" He laughed again, but it sounded as though he was not kidding, which he wasn't. Ian was one of the most over bearing people you would ever meet.

"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.

She laughed with him,"You and your hair Ian I don't have to worry about my hair." Touching her hair laughing,"You keep it perfect don't you.. seriously dude..." She glared at her older brother rolled her eyes and looked away. Putting the jack that she had in he hand back into her mouth. Exhaling it through her nose,"... No worries at all, with no one telling us what to fucking do.. Yeah we're living the good life alright.." She smiled the finished off the jack and throwing it in the trash. Sighing she looked at her untied shoe she tucked the shoe laces in her shoe. "Yea.." She sat back up snd crossed her arms looking at her brother smiling and then turned to see what her brother was looking at."They look like our age.. don't you think."

"Something around there." He murmered. He would have been surprised if she heard him. Ian tilted his head some, still watching them. They seemed to be unmoving and non responsive. As if frozen. "Whad'ya thinks the matter with em'" He questioned, loooking back to Holly. "I wonder if they are anything like us. No parents and would rather spend their money on some green rather then food or necessities." He shrugged and looked to the ground. His mind was going crazy, being as high as he was, it was surprising that his train of thought wasn't completely dead.

Holly couldn't really hear Ian all she could hear was this shrieking and buzzing noise in her ears. She held her ears getting up running away from the bench and her older brother. Running in the street she had seen a light purple car driving towards her. Her expression was like a dear being caught in head lights. The car stopped hitting her leg a little bit she screamed she started to run away again into an very dark alley. She fell on he stomach she tripped over a trash bag she turned around breathing hard. Crawling behind a trash can she wrapped her arms around her knees humming a song to herself. The alley was really cold and she had started shivering rocking back and forth. Her heart was beating at a fast pace she breathed inhaled the cold air and exhaled it. Hoping that her heart will slow down, she took out her pocket knife. Tosing it from her left hand to her right hand, not trying to think about the darkness or coldness of this alley.

(A dramatic scene I love it!!)

Ian watched Holly take off. "Hmm." He curiously watched her run and after a few minutes of staring at the place she had recently been sitting, he decided it would be best to go after her. Just to make sure she wouldn't get her drug blown mind into any trouble. He stood, looking back to the other teenagers then shrugged his shoulders, stuffing his hands into the only unused pockets that he had. 

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.

Holly looked up at her brother with fear and shock. She couldn't even find words to say,"Uh.." That's all that she could say uh. At least she was calmed down for now she had to force the one word she is used to saying,"Th-Thanks..." She was still a little shaky though she wrapped her arms around her brothers waist laying her head on his chest. Rubbing her eyes she think was about to cry. Something that she never did in a long time cry. But of course she didn't cry.

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.

Anger. Hatred. Sympathy. Ian wished he had done so much more to that guy now. He growled, his teeth bolted shut. "Piece of shit." He whispered, scrambling for the wallet an looking inside. He pulled out two one dollar bills and a ten. "Twelve fucking bucks?!" he scoured the leather for anything else but he only found a business card. "Fucking whore!" He yelled, throwing the useless wallet against the ground as he picked himself up.

"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?"

Holly looked at her brother she wasn't surprised, I mean he does act like that when someone hurts her and she would tell him to calm down. That's why she couldn't play any sports that involves touching sigh she smilied,"It's okay.. Well it does feel broken but... I will be okay." She took his had and kissed it lightly,"I'll be okay Ian.. Calm down there was nothing you could do to stop it.. I'll be fine," She let go of his hand and started to limp away again, she turned back around. "You know what I haven't done in awhile Ian... in a long time..." Smiling she looked up in the sky her eyes began to water and one tear dropped from her right eye.

Ian raised a brow, curious as to what she was going to tell him. Part of him already knew, but he didn't want to interupt her train of thought with possible false accusations. "You need some crutches at least, you can't just hop around all day." He said, slipping her arm over his shoulders so that he could pick her up bridalstyle. She wasn't about to walk anywhere she didn't want to. "Tell me, Holls, what do you miss?"

Holly looked up at Ian,"I.. I missed crying and now.. I can't even cry.. and I don't even know why.." She held her stomach and then put her hand over her heart,'Why do I feel so empty.' Holly closed her eyes and layed her head on her brothers chest. She could hear his heart beat she could feel his heart beat. It was beating at a fair pace, then she fell asleep. There was a little girl playing on the swings and an boy he looked older was pushing her. Then every thing turn white, when the white faded she saw the same girl crying with her nose was bleeding. She saw the same older boy grabbing someones collar yelling at them. She smiled in her sleep..

Ian tilted his head, unsure as to why she would want to cry. But he didn't want to interrupt her slumber so he just let her lay there and sleep. Hr saw her smile and he chuckled, pulling her close to him as she dreamed. "Ill always be here to protect you." He whispered, smiling as he too fell asleep right there next to his sister.

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I can feel the horrid death of this roleplay creeping up! I don't want to be forced to abandon Ian. :/

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Nah, but this new calendar feature is messed up. Screw around with the dates until you find where the posts are.

It's not a good feature at all :L

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Okay.

& 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.

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I'm going up to ride my horse this weekend, barley any internet connection. I shall post tomorrow (saturday) evening.. :)

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

only spot left is the other Entrepreneur one ;-;

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I would like to reserve the other Prodigy if it is still available and if it is not I would request to know the available spots to see if I would like to join under one of those

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Nah, it's okay, and the other romancer is already taken lol

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I can make a dude if you'd like. I don't really want too, but I will. I can make the other romancer.

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Yah. Definitely. We need more male characters anyhow. Right now it's a 5:1 gender ratio ;-;

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Then may I reserve the male druggie?

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Happy birthday to you TrueGrit! I'll reserve you one for "Entrepreneur" but it can change if you don't really want that one. >.>

And okay @ all of the reserves except for the last one. There was already someone waiting for me to accept their character, sorry ;-;

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I would like to reserve the female romancer, please. (:

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I'd like to reserve a spot. I probably won't have the sheet up till Monday though, i've got a baseball game tomorrow, and friday is my birthday.

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Perfectly acceptable ^_^

I managed to make a kind of huge introduction that I'll copy/paste in now. don't mind how big it is, not all of my posts will be like it <,<

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I made one hope it's okay. Tell me if I need to change anything.

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

I am going to make a character sheet for one of the druggies later tonight or tomorrow.

Re: [OOC] Thirteenth Street Saints & Sinners

Mmkay. Reserved the spot for you.
