Introduction
In this city, gunshots and gang fights are a nightly occurrences. People sleep with their doors locked and a knife under their pillow, while the police try desperately to gain control over the crime. No one is safe, and just walking the streets alone could be a fatal decision. You'd be stupid to cross almost anyone, because you never know who's associated with the gangs. The source of all this chaos. Three families, gifted and forced to live outside the law because of what they are, wreaking havoc on the city. Those who want to survive, join them in their never-ending war against each other. Those who have a death wish, cross them. So the choice is yours. Survival or death? Crime or law? Choose wisely, because the choice you make, may be your last.

The roleplay is set in a city named Ravenwood, Ravenwood is completely made up, just to let you know, and is set in the U.S, in California. It is placed right on the ocean, and it's buildings rise to startling heights. If not for all the crime going on throughout it's streets, Ravenwood would be a very beautiful city, and used to be a popular tourist attraction before the families were banished to it by the U.S government. To the west, the city is bordered by the ocean with long stretches of soft, white, sandy beaches. To the east, and north it's surrounded by dense, dark forests that are nearly impassable, and to the south, mountains rise. This makes the city very isolated, and, is one of the reasons why it used to be a popular resort getaway. It was out of the way, quiet, relaxing, and breathtakingly beautiful. The only way to get in and out of the city is via airplane, or ship. What it's like now, is a completely different story. Crime runs free through the streets, and nothing is ever traceable, though everyone has their suspicions. Gangs cause tension and make even the bravest of people shudder at the thought of going out alone. There are also rumors. Rumors that the gangs have strange powers, making them ever the more dangerous. The police try over and over again to put a name to these crimes, and the cities isolation becomes a problem for the first time, because it's almost impossible to get help from outside sources. Not that the government would help much anyway. They're the ones who created this mess, and are now too ashamed of themselves to admit to it and help clean it up. Three families are the source of all this chaos.
So what's the real deal with these families? Who are they? Why has the government banished them to this isolated city? Why do they hate each other so much? And what is the truth behind these "power" rumors? Years ago, the U.S government stumbled upon something interesting. A girl who could do impossible things, able to bend the minds of others to her will. They trapped this girl and studied her to find that she was a new race entirely, and that she was not the only one. There were hundreds. Thousands, living hidden among them. How many politicians had used a hidden power to fight their way to the top? How many of the worlds tycoons, singers, actresses, models, the extraordinarily talented, gifted, beautiful were really never even human? Panicked, the government started up a special unit to bring in these strange new people for them to test.
But test after test got them no where. Their subjects died daily, and eventually, the government realized that the best way to handle the situation was to destroy it alltogether. So they began killing anyone they could get their hands on who had these powers, slowly driving them extinct. By year 2000, they'd unjustly killed more than a million people.
And that's when tragedy struck. Someone leaked a top secret piece of information, providing the public with the stats. The government was a killing monster. They covered it up as best they could, but the damage had been done. And so they were forced to take a new approach. The population of the gifted was next to nothing now, and, no longer seeing them as too much of a threat, the government decided to wrangle up any stragglers and banish them someplace remote, but where they could still keep an eye on them.
The agreement was simple. The government didn't want these non-human freaks to take over any human life so, as long as they didn't use their power to succeed in anything, they would be allowed to live. And so they sent them to Ravenwood, and isolated resort city, without even thinking about the consequences. These families were not allowed to work, and if they did, they could not succeed, so they were forced to take the opposite approach. Crime.
In times of hardship, people tend to unite. And so did these three families, trying their hardest to survive in a world that was based solely on the dollar in your wallet, without being able to earn any. Five years passed, and again, tragedy struck. Someone released a drug, and the manufacturer of this drug is still unknown. On a normal human, the drug has no affect, but on the Gifted, this concoction, (with the only known ingredient being roses), had an enormous effect. It heightened their "gift", making them ten times stronger, twenty times clearer, and wiping any and all weaknesses or side effects of their power from them.
This split the families, for now, they all fight over control of this drug. It's 2012, and hatred is deep seeded in all of the gang members. Rivalries cause trouble in the city, but under all the fighting and the crime, there's something else. Love. Forbidden love, that would cause the leaders of the gangs to collapse on the spot should they know.
Welcome to Ravenwood. Now it's time to choose a side.

And, I'm not to worried about it now, but if anyone knows anyone that would be interested in this, or would like to take a male slot, that'd be great. Though, like I said, I'm not too worried about it just yet
