| Welcome to the world of the Gifted. In a world not so different from our own, there exists those known as the Gifted: people born with supernatural abilities, capable of incredible and terrifying things. Some seek a regular life among the normal population, while others seek power and control. With so many factions vying for power, which side shall you stand for? - New Union:
New Union City was built in the early 1920's, and is located where New York City would be in our world. The city is broken up into several districts, each specializing in different areas, and set up in a ring. The center of the city is the Business District, also called Suit Street. It is the area where major companies have offices and corporate complexes. The next layer is the made up of the Shopping and Entertainment districts, where most of the city life occurs. These districts also house the majority of the population of the city. The final layer is the Industrial District, which holds the factories, dockyards, and harbor that connects the city to the sea. To the North-West, are the Remnant Mountains. These mountains were once part of a larger mountain range that stretched far into the northern territories, until some cataclysmic event millennia ago, cutting the mountains off from the rest. They cover roughly 3000 miles of territory, with an elevation of almost 7000 feet.
- Factions:
Five major factions battle within New Union City. -The King Family: Mafia style gangsters with hands in weapon trafficking, drug trafficking, and prostitution. Led by Kaiser King. Territory lies within the Business and Entertainment Districts. Colors/Clothing tend to be black and red, usually in nice suits and coats. Main rival: Subsiders
-Sub-City Serpents (Subsiders): Street gang who traffic in weapons and drugs as their main income, and rob banks and stores on occasion as well. Led by a man simply known as Sid. Territory lies in the Industrial District, with enclaves spreading into the Shopping and Entertainment Districts. Colors/Clothing are white and green and most members can be spotting wearing a white hoodie, with green or a snake somewhere on their bodies or clothing. Main Rival: The King Family
-Chalice: A group that does not partake in illegal activities, the majority of the time. They are, instead, in the business of giving those left with nowhere to go a place they can feel safe and be among friends. they often take in those on the run from other groups, or have no group to begin with. They are a close knit group and are there for one another. Should one member fall under attack, the assailant(s) shall have all of them to deal with. this group is led by Suzo Takamura. Their territory exists between the Kings and Subsiders' territory. They have no specific colors or clothing style. They are enemies of both the Kings and Subsiders. However, they are more concerned with the Kings.
-Echelon: Little is known about this group and it's activities. However, they have made their presence in the online community, with their hacking skills. It is believed this group is involved in espionage of all kinds, hacking, and even assassinations. There is no information on their leaders, colors or clothing.
-Special Crimes Unit (SCU): A special division created specifically for investigating crimes involving Gifted persons. They have the authority over any and all case that is known,or is discovered later on, to involve one of the Gifted. They will not detain or arrest a Gifted person for using their ability. They will only intervene if said ability is being used to break the law.The SCU does what it can to keep track of all known Gifted people, criminal or otherwise. They can be found patrolling the city in vehicles similar in make and model of normal police cruisers. In a situation involving a criminal whom is Gifted, the SCU can be found in advanced body armor, with weapons meant for both capture and, if necessary, to kill. The SCU in New Union City is led by Jeremiah Black, whom acts as both detective and chief of the force, and is often found at the head of dangerous situations. The colors of the SCU are navy blue and white.
-NOTE: There are other groups and factions within the city and beyond. If one wishes to create their own group, PM me the description of said group for approval.
