Welcome to Saint Sol, a long dead carcass with it's former ghost lingering over it. This grand city was to be a sanctuary for the dream seekers and the hopeful but instead it became a graveyard where the tombstones are the reflections in the dingy windows of old buildings. The neon holograms speak of a better state of mind at the nearest vendor. Androids on the street corner programmed to peddle the next new thing. Saint Sol was suppose to be a bright new light in a world that continually grows darker each night. But that all changed with something so simple yet complex.
Drugs became the darkness that the light could not extinguish. Cartels became the first cancer to infect. They saw Saint Sol as a testing ground for some new products. When they saw what they liked, they decided to stay and make an empire built on man's desire to escape. Even if there was no reason for a departure.
Upon seeing the success of the cartels, some of the corrupted pharmaceutical companies wanted to cash in on the rising drug scene in Saint Sol. So with their white coats and math equations, they became a power to rival the cartel families dominating Saint Sol. Eventually a slilent war between the two powers ensued with their consumers being their tools of warfare.
The police tried to stem the tide of this unfortunate event in the city's bright history but ultimately the majority of them chose a side and soon the city was owned by these two inhuman blights. But when warring parties skirmish they fail to see what goes on between battles. Taking this opportunity, small gangs brought their own drugs into the market place disguising themselves as one of the major powers. Before the cartels and pharmaceutical companies realize what was happening, the market was flooded with cheap knockoffs that came with a nicer price tag. Upon this realisation, the cartels and the pharmaceutical companies called a seize fire in hopes of regaining their prominence in the drug trade.
What's left in the aftermath of the initial war is a disease. A sickness that you can't avoid looking at. It stares back with a sly grin and a nod of the head as if saying "Welcome to my town stranger, what's your poison?". What's your poison stranger? We have all kinds.
Yet there is still a light in this abyss waiting to shine bright. This light comes from a private law enforcement agency called the Light Brigade. Although in its infancy, there are many agents fighting against this growing plague. Though the agents may not know of each other's exsistence due to the secrecy of the recruitment, with their combine light Saint Sol may yet again be a sanctuary. But these soldiers have a long black road ahead of them.
A new drug is on the scene by the name of Shoot Up. It takes away what makes you human and turns you into a violent monster with uncontrollable rage. The blissful high comes with a death sentence. This is the face of evil the Light Brigade stares at around every darken corner of Saint Sol. Praise be to the light that is our savior for we are too tired to fight.
Now for the bio for your character, I want you to post a role play sample that answers three questions.
1. What has the city taken from you?
2. What do you want back from the city?
3. Why can't the city give it to you?
These questions shoud express who your character is. Be it an entry from their journal. A recorded interrogation. Or just a piece from their lives before the Light Brigade or their first mission after being recruited. Yes drugs is the main criminal in this drama and the character's primary motivation but what did they do to you directly or indirectly? Did a drug lord kill your daughter since she couldn't make good on her promise of pay? Are you a formal junkie who was able to get clean and lost a piece of yourself? What have you lost in the carcass of Saint Sol that haunts you? Drugs played a part but something bigger was involved too.
Looking forward to what you guys come up with. I will post the thread once there is an ample amount of players plus I should really get some sleep.
