| Square One. A supernatural game based in a almost post-apocalyptic world. Info on the world && Plot; The War began in late 2010 and came as no surprise. It had been a long time in brewing then one day all hell broke loose. It lasted a long time, many years of violence, aggression, death. It took 20 years until it all came to a somewhat grinding halt. The world was devastated - the population dropping dramatically, whole cities destroyed. Nothing was safe during the twenty years, nothing had stood tall and proud during the bombings, the unleashing of each new disease. Death and destruction tainted the world. It's around 3 years after the war has ended, the diseases have been basically cured by the scientists and everything is slowly grinding to a halt. Square One takes place in New York City, a city devastated by the war. Buildings are torn apart, the population has dropped dangerously low. As soon as the war ended the Elari vampires stepped up to take control of New York City - running the ruins as best they could. It has been a few years since they stepped up and other groups are beginning to form. How long will the Elari have control of the city is anyones guess. Water and Electricity are iffy - generators have been set up but they do get vandalised often. Most buildings are damaged - a good portion have fallen and are dangerous. Streets are ruined, cracked, broken. Everything is worse for repair and the whole place is nearly constantly dark. During the day it is a dim ashen grey - an after effect of the crap poured into the atmosphere. Police are basically non-existent though human police are still trying to keep things going despite how out of hand things are getting. The human population do not know of the supernaturals really - they perhaps have an inkling but The Elari have been very careful about keeping it under wraps as much as possible. Petrol, food, gas etc. just pretend everywhere stock piled it and there is enough to go around! The City is a dark, desolate place. Violence, crime, anger and strife run rampant through the city. It is a place of sin, a perfect place for the Demons and vampires to hide within plain sight. Groups and Premades. Elari. While The Elari probably were all of the same blood when they first began their rule over New York City they are now a large and mixed group. The main demonic Elari family still remains - Jonas Elari and his three sons many have joined the business since. For that is what it has become a business. Each seem to procide over something, looking after one thing or another whether it be in the meeting rooms or on the street they make sure that New York is ran to their every whim. A strict and ruthless family in truth the Elari aren't exactly everyones best friend but what most of the supernatural of New York realise is that they are necessary. The Elari are fair, they doll out punishment as it is required and while they often quite...inventive with their techniques it is always deserving. Since having taken over New York they have brought back from the brink and while it is nothing in comparison to what it used to be they have made it somewhat live-able. Their money has returned a little of the life to New York - the seedier, illegal side at least.
The Ashlands. A mixed bag it would seem. No one is quite sure what to expect with these lot a part from trouble and chaos especially if it is at the expense of the Elari. The Ashlands were once one of the strongest vampire coven in New York. What they didn't expect was the sudden wars and the decline in everything else. A strong, tight knit clan of vampires who slowly took over the Ashlands and every single one of their businesses. That was nearly twenty years ago and everyone has leanrt to fear the Ashlands especially any of the Holt Vampires. They deal in mostly seedier businesses - clubs, bars, a brothel or two. However they have also began to branch out into the supernatural trafficking. Much like the Elari. They deal in slaves, you want a werelion? They find you one, weaken it, break it, give it you all tied up in a bow. Unlike the Elari however they aren't exactly quiet. What the Ashlands want is pretty clear - control over New York City and every supernatural within its borders.
The Diebelius Pack. A small, close knit pack of werewolves who have made a few abandoned buildings in the Central Park vicinity home. Lead by Rhys Conway, the Diebelius pack are a well formed and strong pack who have very little difficulty holding their own against the scavangers and chaos of New York.
The Voltaire Pack. More rag-tag and than the Diebelius pack. More like a gang than a family. They're a violent, ruthless and somewhat insane bunch and just love to mess with Diebelius. They run whole-heartedly with the Ashlands and are most likely to help trying to take over.
The Resistance. A small band of humans who have taken shelter together. They know of the presence of the supernatural and have begun to fight it. They keep safe houses up around the City as well as keeping hospitals and the like functional. There are four main leaders of the Resistance who keep it working.
