Its 2058 and the world has evolved beyond what one could have imagined. Humans have managed to create ways to jump between the endless space above earth and conquer the once seemingly impossible task of colonizing other planets, no matter how far they are. It's become a business to go between planets, bringing back what delicacies or rarities they can find for the highest bidder. They now coexist with the once foreign aliens, starting families and making new bloodlines. Even with all of this advancement there are those who like to reminisce on the old days... For them, this time has only served to enlarge their influence. It's almost like a business now, an art.
One of the biggest gangs in the system is led by Kooji, an old school gangster who is said to reside on Mars. No one much knows what he looks like since he usually sends others to do his work for him. When other gangs have big jobs they want done like knockin' off persons of interest or moving up in the food chain they go through Kooji. The only person closest to Kooji that the others get to see more often than once is Raenya. This is his "main squeeze"...and his muscle.
If a job is worth his time and he gets genuine compensation, like, say, more territory, then he sends Raenya out to do the job. When she comes to do a job then you know you are in with The BigMan.
This is the general idea of the short story. We can take it anyway we please to should we want to, say, become a gang leader or whatever else one would like to do. The world is practically run by gangs so keep that in mind. Character-wise, this can get pretty intense. You have the choice between 3 types of characters:
Character Types
Bounty
These are the characters that have bounties on their heads and manage to escape the bounty hunters and intergalactic police. They obviously don't get along with bounty hunters and often end up making deals with gangsters and working for them.
Bounty Hunter
They are not very friendly with the intergalactic police since if the police catch a bounty before them they lose money. Some of them create teams to work with, sometimes groups. Splitting the money is a pain but there are more eyes on your side and that is helpful with the ragtag police force hunting their bounties as well.
Gangsters
Their kind are the largest group in the population on most planets. Its likely that most of their bosses are under Kooji but there are some who still stand alone, of course they remain on his good side nonetheless. Within Kooji's ring or just outside of it, when he needs extra eyes they generally help him out. Most of the time.
Technology:
Think in the range of laser guns, skin phones(a chip placed under the skin that can act as a phone when pressed) and interactive holograms. Anyone with a license that covers hover cars can own a personal ship but it takes a higher level license to operate a larger ship, say for cargo or personal use. There are robots that are mostly seen in the wealthier cities and towns and vacation planets, but an android is not a strange sight to see on most planets. Teleportation devices are only authorized to be used by businesses. All things considered the technology is very advanced.
Characters:
Zedakaizer Requiem - Bones
Zacary 'Zac' Yoxall a.k.a "Bloodhound" - Daxam
