And in Obsidian City, love tends to carry a gun.
Welcome to Obsidian City where the sun never shines, the crime never sleeps and love never dies.
A dark city is all sense of the word, Obsidian City is lucky to see one day of sunshine. If the city is dark at night, it isn't much better during the day. Too much smog and cloud blocks out the half decent light that struggles in between the skyscrapers. People make do though, possibly a little angrier than those who live under the undivided sun, a little more miserable, a little more hopeless. This is no city for the weak, and it certainly isn't a tourist hot-spot.
Obsidian City was never a shining city on the hill, it was built and born as if already crumbling down. Beneath the heavy, dark clouds that rarely seem to let up, lies a sprawling mecca of theft, corruption and greed. It really is no wonder that in such sunlight starved streets, there is little light to be had in the city’s inhabitants. Each jewel-named district hardly lives up to its name: The Ruby District, a self-sufficient community of its own, ruled by whores, who are the law. The rich are safely tucked away in The Onyx Towers, far from their poorer brethren, the utterly impoverished who languish in the Ivory Narrows.
Outside of The Ruby District, where the only laws are their laws, it is not the oft corrupt and always under funded police force that holds the most sway in the run of Obsidian City. No, the city is divided up and controlled by three major crime families, in close environs that seem to speak of a constant threat of war between two or more of the ruling families.
The Russians led by the Petrovskii Family, from their base of operations, Duma, an upscale nightclub known for its beautiful women and for the illegal deals made in dark back rooms, lord over the Diamond District. The Irish led by the O'Donnell Family, from the Irish pub that the first O'Donnell to come to America founded, long ago, loud and busy and full of their history, control the Emerald District. The Italians led by the Pavoni Family, from their Italian family restaurant in the center of the Topaz district, and come with as much flourish and ceremony in both their illegal deeds and their lifestyle.
The Families are not the only ones that the populace should fear, as there have been recent whispers that there is a serial killer preying upon the inhabitants of the city, lurking in the shadows and bringing death with them.
As if the population of Obsidian City didn't have enough on their plate, they now need to look over their shoulder at every step.
And so do you.

Premise
It has been almost three years since the Hellmouth in Sunnydale was closed, by Buffy Summers and her friends. They thought that that had put a stop to evil then, but Giles informed them that there was another one in Cleveland. What he neglected to tell them was that there are several more hellmouths around the world. Recently there has been a Hellmouth discovered in Forks Washington, and more importantly it is about to open. Willow Rosenberg sensed that it was opening and she knew that they had to band together to make sure that it didn't happen. She isn't the only one who figured out what is going on; Alice Cullen saw one of her visions, and she knows that something big and bad is coming. Unfortunately her family has more than just the Hellmouth to deal with; Victoria and her little army are on their way to Forks to try and kill Bella. Buffy Summers and her friends are now on their way to Forks, along with every form of evil imaginable; their attraction to the Hellmouth to strong to resist. The Cullens have never met a slayer, and most of the vampires they had met thought she was nothing more than a myth. Buffy never knew anything about vampires like the Cullens, because their particular breed are older than most of the ones she has come into contact with.
The Master is the one that is trying to open the Hellmouth; someone is helping him getting another chance at revenge against the slayer. Of course when Victoria sensed that kind of power she decided that it would be best for her to team up with him. The thing that no one saw coming was the splitting of the Volturi; half of them have sided against the Master, because they do not want the world to end. The other half want the world to end as much as he does, and they have traveled to Forks to join him. Aro, and Caius along with their mates are leading the faction that wants to stop the Master and Marcus has side with the Master. Jane, Alec, Afton, Chelsea and Heidi have sided with Aro and Caius while Corin, Demetri, Felix, Renata and Santiago have sided with Marcus. So, with the mystical world split down the middle things are about to get badly out of hand.
Once Buffy and the gang arrived in Forks they were surprised to learn that not only did they have a command central waiting for them, they had more powerful beings willing to join their cause. The Cullens took in Buffy, Willow, Dawn, Kennedy, Faith, Robin Wood and Xander; Giles and the rest of the potentials, along with Andrew were given homes at the Reservation with the Wolf Pack. Later Angel, Spike, Ilyria, and Harmony Kendall join Buffy at The Cullen house where they join in on the fight. As both threats loom nearer, Xander and Buffy have decided that it is time for their first offensive attack. The war has officially begun, and no one really knows how it is all going to end.

A home for my Evey Hammond? A panfandom game with or without a V would be amazing. :)
